Ramen & Cocktail Pairing @ Hakata Ippudo, Pavilion

27/06/2013 4 Comments

Sometimes we do crave for food and defiantely Ramen falls into one of the cravings and I am sure when this Hakata Ippudo open its door in Pavilion on 20th February 2013, there is a huge hype of it. Not only that, for this round they have come up something unique for us. I have often heard wine pairing and when I received an invite for Ramen & Cocktail pairing, this is surely something new!

With this new style, IPPUDO hopes that the introduction of this new range of cocktails to its KL store will enhance the overall ramen dining experience for Malaysian diners and help them to discover this great alternative to the typical green tea or soft drink accompaniments.

Calpis Hai – A ‘spike’ up yoghurt drink. One of my favourite drink to be mix with alcohol, is definately good. Sweet light milky texture with the sweetness of the shochu and light alcohol end. Just perfect.

Hakata Momo – Bold & balanced with a hint of peach after taste

From top left -> Clock wise

Hinode- Fruity & flavourful crafted with an after taste of citrus
Umeshu Limonatta – Classic Japanese plum wine blended with a zest from sparkling lemon juice
Hakata Momo – Bold & balanced with a hint of peach after taste
Sawayaka – Perfect blend of light refreshing freshly squeezed lime and the sweetness of rum with a slight fragrance of coconut

Oolong Hai – Humbling earthy oolong tea with a touch of shochu

Among the startes we try, I love this the best, Buta Karaage – Deep Fried Pork – Loin with special sauce. Deep fried to perfection that inside is not dry yet juicy and the sauce os perfect. Pair well with Umeshu Aranciatta with mild sourish end.

Curry Cheeze Haru Maki – Deep Fried Curry Spring Rolls.
Best paired with: Umeshu Limonatta

Serve in raw with special sauce added on the side. Ishiyaki Chicken – Grilled Chicken with leek in hot stone bowl
Grilled chicken with leek in hot stone bowl served with wasabi dressing and lemon citrus. Stir well in this hot stone and then you can pair it with Hinode or Oolong Hai.

Salmon Katsu – Deep fried Salmon with Cheeze
Best paired with: Sawayaka or Hakata Momo

Salmon Misoyaki – Marinated Salmon with Japanese Miso
Best paired with: Calpis Hai

Before we are heading to eat our main dish which is Ramen, in between we were given a task. We are to create our own cocktail and winner for the night will walk away with great prize. We are given with 3 types of alcohol, mixer and some ingredients to finish it off.

Then I come out with don know what I have mix and the girls are being creative, we name our drink 3 Girls & a Guy.

We have 5 other contestant in the list and the rest all looks good.

Judges in action with the chef of the outlet start tasting on the creation.

Before we dine our Ramen, we are being serve with some fresh garlic and if you need it just add on. I find that it really add on the taste to the soup to be more fragrant.

Shiromaru Motoaji
Original recipe Tonkotsu broth served with Hakata-style ultra-thin noodles and topped with belly chashu, bean sprouts, kikurage and spring onions, cooked expertly to produce a smooth yet classic Hakata ramen.
We personally love this best as the broth made me tasted its originality. Clear yet flavoursome, we could finish the whole bowl of soup!
Best paired with: Umeshu Limonatta

Akamaru Shinaji
The 25-year old recipe requires slow cooking over long hours to achieve a perfect emulsion of oil and liquid, creating a rich and flavorful Tonkotsu that enhances the essence of pork-bone topped with Ippudo secret miso, garlic oil, belly chashu, kikurage, bean sprouts and spring onions. This version of broth carries a more pungent taste that stimulated our tastebuds even more.
Best paired with: Calpis Hai

Spicy Karaka-men
The Karaka Men features Ippudo signature Tonkotsu broth and Hakata-style wavy noodles, topped with ground pork and our spicy Karaka miso for the spice that you crave!
Best paired with: Hinode

Its another great night for all of us to hang out again and thanks to Ippudo Malaysia for showering me this new experience. If you are hunting for their cocktail, my favourites are Hinode & Calpis high. Easy to drink and to pair with the food. Price range from RM 15 – RM 22 per glass as I find it pretty reasonable. .

Plates & Bottles serve Nice Chinese food @ U8, Shah Alam,

19/07/2012 No Comments

Hidden in this huge new shopping mall U8, there is one humble Non-Halal outlet that operate around the premises will sure make you return again and again. Well, in Shah Alam its pretty hard to get a Non-Halal outlet and I guess many of the factory worker around the area will be very happy to patron this outlet as they serve excellent good food.

Plates which is the back part of the restaurant that serve Oriental cuisine and where is Bottles? right in front. . .

This is where the dining area for Plates are more towards homey style decor that provides comfortable dining experience

Weeet weet, its assign seating and here is my logo. .cute~

Here are the menu for Plates and I must say the price are very reasonable or more towards cheap side!

Here you go, Bottles as the front side of the restaurant that offers customers after dining experience for a place to chill that serve their very own cocktail and bottle beers available with pool table for you to play around.

As for Bottles they are serving different types of food as more towards western and finger food to suits your beer palates or jovial mood in drinking.

Bottle beers that are available . . .

Homebrew Chrysanthemum tea. .

Follow by their drinks:

1) Berry Banana Yogurt RM19

2) Banana Mango RM15

3) Sweet Sunrise & Tornado Twist (RM 9 each)

4) Shirley Temple, Virgin Mary, Long Walk, on the beach. (RM12 each)

Lets head for the first appetizer and when it was serve it create alot of curiousity among all of us, as we were guessing is it Pau? then turns out to be Mashed Potato @ RM6.90. Its unique in taste as they add some spices in it.

For Mushroom Soup lover and you love it thick and creamy, then I would suggest that this is amust order soup. Its quite thick and dense with blended mushroom in it. @ RM7.90

We started off with oriental cuisine and first to arrive on our table is Drunken Prawns. By smelling the aroma of it, we are already half drunk and cant wait to dip our fork and soup by having sip of the soup base. Aroma of the rice wine is just perfect that trails along our nose. Strong with herbs taste with chinese wine at the end is just perfect with rice and prawns were fresh! @ RM16.90

One dish that surpise us is that we thought that Honey Chicken is quite a normal dish, and turns out to be that it was cook to perfection that its moist and very well caramelize on the meat with sprinkle of sesame seed. A bowl of rice is perfect companion. RM11.90

Made from scratch as first made from soy grinding then mold it and deep fried. –Homemade Tofu @ RM9.90

Curry Pork @ RM10.90

Sambal belacan with ‘4 types of Vege’ that have long beans, ladies finger(okra), petai (stinky beans) and egg plant(brinjal). Another dish that fried to perfection with ‘wok hei’ and did not over fry it. Taste is quite solid and by eating it like that, it definitely will give you more towards saltiness and spicy. @ RM9.90

Salted Fish Pork Belly 咸魚花腩 (ham yu fa lam) @ RM10.90. A well balance dish with hint of sweet, spicy ,salty, cook along with thin slice pork belly is something you would not want to miss. Highly recommended!

Something that I used to cook alot in college days is Braised pork belly Fried Meehun @ RM7.90. Something delicious and simple. Its another nice dish to hunt for in here.

Spaghetti Meatballs @ RM15.90. Meatballs that made in house is something special, not solid yet pan fried by inside meat still moist and juicy with hint of herbs and black pepper detected. Spaghetti is al dante and creamy enough to my liking. After that they serve only the meatballs and it was gone instant seconds.

Something light, you can opt for Grilled Chicken Spaghetti Pesto @ RM15.90

I would say the burger is a bargain that serve along with thick Pork pattie melted with a slice of cheeze and I just love mine spread with mustard, to pair it up well. Pork Burger @ RM15.90

Another bargain hunter is big slab of Pork Chop that being pan grill till moist and eat along with the special made gravy is just nice. @ RM16.90

It had been long time I did not eat this already ‘Herbal Jelly Egg’ as my grandma used to make this. Its chill and refreshing yet not too sweet. A nice way to close our meal.

I must say if you are looking for nice NON-HALAL meal around Shah Alam, this shop definitely a recommended Chinese restaurant in Shah Alam as the food is good and price definitely is reasonable. .

Breeks Cafe @ IOI Mall, Puchong

21/04/2010 6 Comments

One of the day, where we were pretty bored with our canteen food, so we decided to go out hunting for lunch again, that had landed me one of the newly open IOI mall new wing. It has been ages since I last step into this mall, but as it was not far from my company and one of my colleagues mention that the set lunch in Breeks Cafe is quite worth it and landed us here for the food. They do have one branch in Penang at Gurney Plaza but their menu had never temp me try it out.

Their set lunch comes with types of drinks to choose from and we order the whole range of it. ‘Ices Strawberry Lemon, Iced Passion Fruit Tea, Iced Lemon Tea’

with ‘Soup of the Day’ tasted so so. .

‘Mozzie Balls’ were pretty good, with mozarella cheeze in it. RM6.90

Next was the serving of ‘Chicken Patties Melted’ with cheeze covers on top and dip with the sauce given, taste not bad but it feels more like ramlee burger syle. RM19.90

‘Grilled Chicken Chop’ at least it taste a bit better that its fried with some marinated herbs taste. RM19.90

‘Grilled Chicken Chop’ RM19.90

‘Lasagna’ was not up to my expectation as I find the layer in between the filling is thick and flour taste is there.

Food Rating 5.5/10, so so only la their set lunch~ -Stamped-

MacD @ Hong Kong

30/05/2009 No Comments

I have been always told by my friend saying that if go to Hong Kong must try out the MacD. Cuz got PORK! So the lunch we grab MacD nearby my hotel there. The best thing about their MacD also they got their very own Mac Cafe. Which is I can see that selected outlets and the one that I went heard my friend said that the coffee there is better than StarBucks.

This is the ‘Pork McMuffin‘. Which is the only pork thing that they have as another 1 is ‘Double Ham Burger’ out of stock..ISHH!!! The other looks more tempting and delicious. So No choice have to grab this. To me actually it is not much different compare to the daily MacD breakfast that we are eating everyday. Nothing special to comment about it. The medium set is HKD 28

But this my order. ‘Quater Pounder‘. Medium Set HKD30. I think that Malaysia version is nicer and taste better especially the beef pattie. The grilling process not as juicy and cheezy as what I had. But their concept of the burger is for healthy purpose. When you eat it at least you wont feel guilty..haha

I am totally impress by the taste of ‘Grilled Chicken Burger’. It is like when we eat Ramlee burger chicken but this is the Chinese version of Ramleee burger I would rate. Taste very good. The chicken breast meat is soft and grill to perfection, the sauce that mix in it taste very good. I would say that it is a item worth trying.

Find that their box is nice~ Even though do not know what are they writing on the box besides the Grilled Chicken Burger.

The ‘Grilled Chicken Burger’

I found out that the website of MacD Hong Kong version is very nicely done.Worth to check it out~

Food rating 8/10 , Very Good Loh~ -Stamped-
