20/07/2013 No Comments

In the holy month, there are of course many restaurant taking this opportunity to run a promotion. One of a late discovery for me that I just realize, Bali Hai had open in Kota Damansara for nearly a year now. This is pretty well known brand for many Penangnites for its fresh seafood that available in the stretch of Gurney Drive. I often dine there, and till last week only found out about this place. Many people have mix reaction on their food quality. I still trust them my trust for fresh seafood.

-No longer in operation-

Many of you that stay nearby would known this place is Asia Café.

Now the whole outlet had converted to another Bali Hai version in KL. The whole interior and exterior is exactly like the branch in Penang.

All their seafood are served fresh, that you can even choose your favorite seafood from their tank, to show you that the seafood that being cook is still alive and kicking.

If you do not like your seafood to be fried, there is an option of BBQ.

For month of Ramadan, they also running special package such as buy 2 free 1 @ RM 98 net per pax for you to enjoy on their seafood. They serve their seafood fresh daily with slightly different type of cooking style. .

BBQed Japanese Sama Fish is awesome, well marinated and dip along with chef special chili is just perfect. I ended up with 2 fish. 😀

Belacan Fried Squid, Shrimp with Chili Padi, Deep Fried Crispy Squid, Black Pepper Lamb

Clams & Hot, Spicy Mussels & Spicy Crab

Some classic traditional kuih being serve too . .

Fresh gigantic oyster are being serve along too.

Deep Fried Battered Prawns

A giant platter of Cheese Baked Oysters

Enjoy their seafood as the taste is nearly the same as the one in Penang. Seafood is definitely fresh and now I know where to find nice seafood. Find that their price is pretty reasonable. Not only that, as for the holy month:

Bangkok Trip Day 3 Part 2: Pattaya Floating Market

07/11/2011 1 Comment

When you visit Bangkok, one of the place that you must go is their Floating Market. Previously we did have in plan to visit Bangkok Floating Market and it was scrap because that we are heading to Pattaya, they have another one too, but the floating market in Pattaya is man made market while the one in Bangkok is the original and natural place.

After we had our lovely breakfast at famous French Bakery (click here) then head to this floating market. This post is more picture than write up . ..

It was sardin pack with lots of people, and we were drop off by our driver.

It was burning hot morning and humid as we were walking we can feel the heat penetrating to our bone.

Looking at the map, its a huge man made floating market .. . .

To tour around the whole market by using the boat, it can be hired at a price. .

Seri Muara Alai Nasir Ikan Bakar @ Melaka

07/06/2011 No Comments

One of the place in Melaka to hunt for food, Jason introduce us this fresh seafood that he constantly visit and now, it is not only famous to local crowds as many Singaporean also drop by this place according to him. The place is about 15 minutes’ drive out from the town area towards very ‘kampung side’ Seri Muara Alai Nasir Ikan Bakar and turn into a small lane with sandy rockies road with paddy field at one side to reach this place. We were advice to start the journey early as it is easily filled up very fast. We reach here at 6pm, so the whole place still pretty empty.

This place is located at Alai and by the eatery place name of HJ Nasir Ikan Bakar (Grill Fish).

Now I understand why they said the seafood here is very fresh, some of the fisherman come back from the straights of Melacca, which is not too far from here and he get all the first hand fresh seafood first.

In a hot weather like this, it is always best to sit outside for more cool wind.

When we move over to this mini stall to order our food, we were spoil with choices, with so many types of fish and seafood available.

Then grill fresh on the pit area. . .

All off us were pretty full from some other food hunt earlier, and make it 2nd last stop before heading back to KL.

Small pack of Nasi Lemak was served which is optional, and decided to give it a try, and it was a let down. The rice was damp, not much fragrant and the sambal look very spicy which is not really.

Kam Hiong Clams

Fried Squid were really good, fresh squid which is very chewy and the amount of crispiness on the layer of it, just nice and dip it with chili sauce is perfect. We order another round of it.

Spicy Fried Stingray, well prepared with crispy edge on its tail and the meat in the middle is still very soft, and spread with their own homemade sambal on top just right.

They just cant wait .. too hungry again . . as we have seperate the right table are all small eaters including me, and on the left are all heavy weight champion eater.

BBQ Prawns

Grill Kembung Fish with sambal.

Cannot deny that the price here is cheap as we paid around RM 20 per pax after divided out and all of this are in 2 portion and the seafood is fresh. Taste wise, nothing to shout about, yet if like kampung style dining, this would be a place to go after.

Food Rating 7/10, quite okay, because its fresh~ ~-Stamped-

Street food Hunting – Shilin Night Market @ Taipei

11/10/2010 No Comments

If you are in Taiwan, and you love street food or some street shopping and enjoy bargaining then, there is one place that you must not miss. It is not only famous to tourist but also locals, most of the time, this night market is sardine packed with people and if you do go there during their summer break or school holiday you can just expect to be push around. Shilin Market is one of the biggest and most famous night market in Taipei District. Easy access from public transportation that you can stop by at Shilin Night Market Station and the night market is located just opposite it.

This is one of the biggest junction that I have came accross. Lets start off with our very first food hunting. Please be aware that this post involves alot of food and drinks that might harm your eye sight and make a lil damage on your stomach.

Fish ball and fried squid for that kind of size, guess how much you have to pay? Its chewy, very cripsy from the outside.

Then we got introduce that there is one of the best fried chicken among so many stalls in this area which is stall no 5+. Once you walked into this big food market you will see a long que and that would certainly be the fried chicken stall.

Nono and Jennifer were helping us to be in the line while we were busy taking pictures. It took us about 15 minutes wait because the people in the line just do not buy one, at least 3 pcs per pax.

For such a huge piece of crispy fried chicken it cost only NT50

After buy it, we were brought inside the food market and I got shock to see how many food stalls are there cramping in this area. So pack and so many food to see. That makes it more than 500 food stalls around this area itself which have not include the main shopping streets of Shilin streets there.

We were brought to stall 441 which is recommended by Mary’s brother and his friend that this stall serve good Fried Oyster or ‘Oh Jian’

Besides selling that, they also do have smelly/sticky taufu available in fried or spicy soup version.

Spicy soup version.

Fried version.

Fried oyster here is certainly different from what we have in Malaysia but its something similar. Ours will taste abit jelly’ish but theirs is more on beaten egg that pours on top of the hot plate, fried and wraps it.

The main difference is that they do add on sauce on top of the Fried Oyster. The sauce turns out to be good, spicy, smooth in texture with a bit of lime sour eat along with the smooth fried oyster is something I do not mind to have the whole plate alone.

Oyster in there are moderate in size but for the price we are paying, we consider it cheap. One plate for around NT50 which have at least 6-7 oyster.
