Mediterranean Food

Browsing

Food can sometimes be very different if we are adventurous enough yet at times it can be a dissapointment. Recent discovery on something new in Bukit Damansara is this outlet called Maliqa Mediterranean Cuisine that serve HALAL Mediterranean food, and I must say its actually a hidden gem in the area. Open its door not too long ago already have build up well with many return customer with its reasonable pricing and food quality.

 Also further understand that Maliqa in term of Arabic origin used in Persia it means a title of Queen Consort.

maliqa (3)

From the meaning Queen and the interior designer which is one of the owner himself that design the whole place to assemble the look and feel of Persian.

For welcoming drink, we were greeted with their Honey Yogurt drink. This is one of the drink that you shall not miss, smooth and not too sweet yet I do not mind to have the whole jug by myself.

Something new to me is this Pirincli Yoghurt & Corbasi. It looks healthy for morning breakfast as I was on diet for that week and surely this would be a great soup for me. Something simple and the taste is a bit salty papperish end.

Another soup came by is Spicy Seafood Soup

maliqa (9)

 Fried Mushroom for appetizer to much on before the mains are coming over.

Lamb Shank were good as the lamb were braised till soft and aromatic with their house special gravy and risotto is cook to my likings. Lamb taste is pretty strong and those of you who do not really take lamb then this is not encourage.

maliqa (13)

Maliqa House Steak werent bad is just that on that night I find it abit over cook for the steak. Gravy is good which is light that did not overpower the taste of the steak. Its one of their signature dish for Maliqa.

I am starting to like Setia Walk in Puchong to be appear another main joint of drinking and eatery place. Spreading out their lovely landscaping that is one of the main crowd puller that provides great ambiance which is something unique compare to other mall. Bondi Junction.

This would be my second time here as still find parking here is a bit confusing or there weren’t proper signage up yet at the moment. Last round that I came, I visited Sushi Tei and now came back here for second round, we are in hunt for one Mediterranean food located at Block F level one. First timer here looking for this shop, surely will be lost locating. Just look for Ding Tea, and its above it.

Bondi (1)

A simple casual dining place whereby you can just hop in anytime. A place whereby its decorated with simple hanging decorations, and why Australia flag is there, its because mainly the influence are from Australia, hence Bondi Junction is the name of the shop whereby its a place in Sydney.

Its pretty amazing that they have this open concept kitchen yet you don feel that the smoke from kitchen is coming out. Maybe its non-air condition and pretty well ventilation around the area that do not make us feel it.

Bondi (7)

A simple menu with good offerings for us to hunt from. Price of dish are pretty decent.

Bondi (8)

I have tried this previously when we first drop by after my meal at Sushi Tei and instally we fall for this Focaccia Bread with 4 dips @ RM25. Made freshly by the chef with only limited offerings available. When it was place onto the table, the aroma of the freshly bake bread with rosemary and olives dotting the flat loaf entrails into our nose and just couldn’t wait to get a bite of it. .

Comes with 4 dips: sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, black olives and balsamic vinegar, and I prefer the sundried tomato and feta cheeze are awesome combination.

Bondi (9)

Wild Mushroom Soup @ RM 11 are all in homemade style with fresh ingredients that cook on the spot. Its flavourful that we need not even add in any black pepper that the taste is already there. How could we resist the temptation of this.

Bondi (10)

Roasted Pumpkin and Red Capsicum Soup @ RM 11 would be something unique for the night as there are hint of little spicy pepper taste and both are equally good. In the end, we order the soup again for another round.

Bondi (11)

This doesnt look like pizza as the own version of Bondi Junction Meat LoversRM25 topped with turkey ham, pepperoni, minced beef, onions, capsicum, olives and mozzarella. The dough are prepared daily for pizza and made fresh. Its slightly different from any other pizza that I had as the crust is thin and near to bread. I prefer meat lovers more.

Bondi (12)

Bondi Special @ RM27 – with basil pesto, olives, sundried tomatoes, capsicum, pepperoni, egg, onions and mozzarella.

Bondi (13)

To me, super star of the night would be Beef Lasagna @  RM18. After one bite of this, it instantly hit onto my top chart as one of the best. Soft filling inside out with carefully baked melted cheeze on top, with chef special tomato base sauce that make it outstanding. -Highly recommended for Beef as I think it taste much better than Chicken.

Bondi (14)

Beef Bolognese Spaghetti @ RM15 Minced beef  in Napolitana sauce with basil and parmigiano. I think this is not bad as I had the lasagna first and I think it had overpower the taste this. Spaghetti is al-dante.

Bondi (15)

Most people would misfire this dish – Chicken Gordon Bleu @ RM30 for one of a simple reason that the chicken breast would end up very dry. As for here, it suprise us that its not dry yet still quite juicy and aromatic with cheeze & ham taste in it. Well done.

Bondi (16)

Stuffed Seafood Chicken @ RM30 is one of a unique this that I have come across as  pan-seared chicken roulade stuffed with chopped seafood served with pistachio sauce, greens and grilled herbed potatoes. Its a very well balance dish with greens, roasted potato and the sauce of pistachio taste unique. What makes it perfect is with red wine that pulls the taste up very well.

Bondi (17)

Roasted Salmon with Red Pesto @ RM32 a dish that looks very healthy to me. With colourful veggie and lemon for you to squeeze on.

Bondi (18)

Comes dessert time, rarely no one will say no.

Bondi (19)

Crème Brulee, Classic Apple Pie and French Lemon Tart, @ RM10 each.

Bondi (20)

At that point, we were pretty stuff and yet the picture of this Russian Benny @ RM17 – fatty salmon, mushrooms and toast with the thick creamy Hollandaise sauce keep calling our name. Its  agreat breakfast that we order 2 portion. Do let the waiter know you prefer runny yolk as one dish the yolk are pretty cook. Of course with this great breakfast would not be complete with. . . Coffee.

Bondi (21)

Coffee in Bondi Junction are pretty good. I love their Mocha and Flat white. They are price in between RM6 and RM9

Valentines is just around the corner and looking for something pretty simple with great food, definitely this outlet would be another recommendation by me even for ordinary dining with friends and family.

I believe many of you do notice the new empty building next to True Fitness along Sprint Highway heading towards 1-Utama. It looks kinda empty at the moment and with ample parking which is an advantage to this new outlet called Mezza 9 that just operated in the area for just about 3 weeks old. Its very easy to locate as they are the only outlet currently operating as F&B in the building.

[update Aug 2016: Close Down] 

Already manage to capture a good drinking crowd and we arrange to go try out this new outlet as they serve Mediterranean Food and heard that they hire a good chef!

After opening its door and put my step in, they have very nice interior that again heading more towards of modern New York cafe style. A simple design that make it look elegant and a comfortable place to dine.

mezza (8)

Wild Mushroom Soup  @ RM18 filled with finely chopped fresh mushroom cook till creamy yet not too salty at the end. Just as I preferred my mushroom soup to be.

mezza (9)

To many first people’s impression on French Onion Soup   is am I drinking soy sauce ah? In this case the soup is well prepared that cook till the onion is very soft till near to melt in your mouth as upon you drinking it and it bends towards more salty taste. @ RM12

mezza (10)

Garden Salad with Balsamic Dressing  @ RM18  is a very simple dish that serve upon yet flavourful and would turn into a perfect dish for a person who is on diet!

mezza (11)

Caesar Salad @ RM 18

mezza (12)

Another thing that you shall not miss is their Bruschetta range. Salmon Bruschetta (2pcs) @ RM12. Generous with their ingredient as you get a roll of salmon added on top of cubes of tomato with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and finely chopped parsley.

mezza (13)

One of my favourite for the night is Mushroom Bruschetta (2pcs)  @ RM8, with its creamy sauce flwoing just like that, and smell of the well cook mushroom flows on our nose trails just makes us want to put this whole piece into our mouth one shot. – Recommended!

mezza (14)

Calamari with Homemade Tartare Sauce  @ RM12 is a simple starter and would pair better if you have a glass of beer along!

mezza (15)

The super star dish for the night is this Braised Oxtail (4pcs)  as we take pictures on it we already swallowing saliva with the nice smell that it flows out. A perfectly braised dish that the meat is soft yet flavourful . Just makes you want to have more. – Highly recommended! @ RM16

mezza (16)

A simple dish and flavourful with hint of black pepper at the end and pair well with the tomato sauce is this Meatball in Tomato Sauce (4pcs)  @ RM12.

mezza (17)

When it was served upon, I was like why is the salmon burn a bit .. 🙁 yet this would be my frist time to try on something new for Honey & Grain Mustard Glazed Salmon  @ RM48. To our suprise, as we cut it, it is soft not as it look and the taste to pair along with honey mustard makes it a great combination.

mezza (18)

Another one of my favourite is Mint Marinated Rack of Lamb with  Fondant Potato and Roasted Cherry Tomato  @ RM45 that is prepare medium with a bit blood flowing out upon cutting it. The mash potato is something we cant stop eating.

mezza (19)

A simple dish that prepare well is Spaghetti Aglio Olio with King Prawns @ RM38

mezza (20)

Mezza9 Fusion Seafood Paella  @ RM40 (double servings)  RM25 (single servings)

mezza (21)

Oh, I just love this dish because of its strong well balance taste of tomato with lots of mince meat Spaghetti Bolognaise with Beef Bacon (spicy)  @ RM25. I just love it. – Recommended!

mezza (22)

Black Angus Rib Eye Served with Mediterranean Vegetables, Roasted Potato & Corn on Cob  @ RM80

mezza (23)

Well prepare in medium with its meat juicy and tender.

mezza (24)

Profiteroles (2 serving per portion)  @ RM18

oh oh.. their signature desert, also another dish would love to recommend is Chocolate Lava cake with Orange Cream Anglaise @ RM 15. It was prepare pippin hot, that a simple cut break the crust of the cake and chocolate just ooze out, just cant stop eating this.

If you are asking me where to have a nice meal and certianly this would be one of the place to recommend! I guess one of the reason the good food came out is that they have a Chef from Sentidos Tapas, Starhill.
