Over the weekend, I was attending a Photography workshop at Bankers Club, and of course there are breaks in between. Then hit down to dinner and walk pass thru Sungai Wang to head to Lot 10 Hutong, I came across this Polo Bun Shop by the name Polo Zai Bakery Cafe. I love polo bun alot and looking at the texture of the bread surely looks tempting and decided to buy 1 after dinner to test the quality.

Guess what? After buy 1 on the first night, we ended up ta pau and buy for the next 2 days of the workshop, including last night. 😀

polozai (1)

Some fact of Polo bun or 菠萝包 is the Hong Kong style of bun and very popular in Hong Kong. The word 菠萝 is also a Hong Kong word meaning ‘pineapple’ where the skin of the bun looks like a pineapple.

Now at Polozai Bakery Cafe, they have mastered and specialized in baking these Polo bun with 16 choices of creative and delicious flavors to choose from. I believe they are freshly baked daily to get the freshness and quality of it. You will be tempted by the smell of it although its not so strong as compare to Roti Boy.

polozai (2)

I have tried  a few flavours over the past few days. One of the original which is Polo Butter is always the classic. With the cripsy crumbs on the top and butter spread at the base/ bottom @ RM 2.80.

polozai (3)

Next I try their Custard Polo Bun, crust is the same as the filling is custard. Find that the filling of custard is not well spread out as I bite half of the bun still there is no sign of the custard and only realize is only 1/4 of the bun, which is one of the corner.

polozai (4)

To be adventourous, we bought alot a few flavours such as Durians. Durian turns out to be pretty good and generous with the ingredient, with the durian flesh sticking out like that, can see that they are using fresh durian to insert as the filling.

Another 2 we tapau is Cheeze and Polo Ham Sausage.

The range of their bun are from RM2.80 – RM 5 depends on which selection you are aftering. For first timer, I would definately recommend their classic signature which is the Polo Bun, follow by Custard or durian.

Overall, the crust of the top is not bad, not too sweet and bun is pretty soft. Can say that one of the best Polo Bun that I came across, in overall taste and if they are serve pippin hot or warm, it would surely be one of the top seller in Sungwai Wang.

In KL most of us fancy certain brand of Taiwanese Dessert as for Penang people, there are certain brand that capture their attention too. Blackball in Penang seems to be doing pretty well that have won many hearts of dessert people. I realiase it works for them in Penang too as this brand have quite a no.of branches.

Blackball (1)

First time testing out this brand, which it seems is another famous brand from Taiwan that certainly have no doubt in the taste.

Blackball (2)

While waiting for movies, then chill here for a while. Interior are pretty similiar to the others.

Blackball (3)

Try one of their new signature with corn base ice, with taro balls, grass jelly, corn, jelly and ice cream. First few bites of corn ice taste alright as the more we take, we could not finish it as if not mistaken pineapple was added in as there are sourish end. Taro balls wasnt done that well, as the texture is soft and non chewy. Not bad overall.

Blackball (4)

Another Blackball signature is serve with Taro Ball, Taro Q, Pearl, grass jelly and red beans served with some fresh milk (if serve cold). This is not bad as pretty strong taste of grass jelly is there, red bean added the bite texture, and I find it too much pearl for me. Next time should request less pearls. 😀

Blackball (5)

Try out their classic Pearl Milk Tea and 25% is too pale for us as other brand 25% is just perfect. For Blackball 50% sugar in their drinks is just perfect. I love their Winter Melon Tea. Strong in taste and not that sweet. Next time I know where to ta pau my drinks before movie.

Guinness Arthur’s Day is coming to an end very soon as I manage to pop in another cool bar where they are moving around. One of the chosen location is Dirty Nelly that newly renovated and operated few months back. Huge space and definitely suits all those office crowd that are nearby. This is my second visit to this outlet as first round we came, we order quite alot of food. (click here)

Dirty Nelly (1)

Dirty Nelly (2)

How can you be at this event without having a nice pint of Guinness.

Dirty Nelly (3)

Beers available on tap.

Dirty Nelly (4)

Crowd starts to pour in as that day it was heavy rain and it took me 90 minutes to reach this place from PJ.

Dirty Nelly (5)

Hungry people like us, we would need food to start off with and of course we would want to order back the food what we had last round to ensure the quality is there. Verdict 70% near.

Potato Leak soup is good, thick, creamy and  just prefect as what I like. Have to eat it hot right after its been serve. After it is left cold, it taste weird.

Dirty Nelly (6)

Fried Jalapeno

Dirty Nelly (8)

Beer lovers would love this, as it pairs well with my Guinness. Not really spicy as it is as we believe its a tone down version.

Dirty Nelly (7)

One of the best dish or my favourite is Gammon Steak with Pineapple & Fried Duck Egg @ RM45. pan grill to perfection that the steak is cook well, soft and easily cut. Sauce that added along make it moist and not too dry. Loving it. – recommended

Dirty Nelly (9)

DIRTY NELLY’S – Mix of PORK, BEEF & LAMB with their own secret herbs. Garnished with English pepper and Jalapeño peppers, topped with grilled bacon and sunny side up duck eggs and mustard mash on the side.  RM53

This burger have a sligt different taste compare to what we have 2 months ago. Meat did not mince well this round as a slight cut the meat are broken into pieces. Taste is pretty different too as its slightly dry. I guess it was full house crowd that cook have to give a bit discount.

Dirty Nelly (10)

Nelly’s Belly Served with steamed vegetables, onion and apple sauce @ RM 45. Pork lovers, you will fall deeper in love with this as this huge ass rack enough to KO you, with pork fats belly that melts in your mouth, soft cut meat that easy for you to chew and I pair it with my beer and mustard. Its satisfaction. – Recommended

chicago (17)

Mai Tai – which is certainly the word suits the drinks. A strong drink infuse with alcohol as you don feel the strong taste of it. Overpower by the taste of pineapple ..  drink more you will see the effect~

chicago (18)

After some tipsy drinks, we kick start our meal with Trio Sampler @ RM32.90.  Â Pork Chili Con Carne. It is accompanied by the the other 2 Trio Sampler members which comprise of Hot Buffalo Wings and Potato Skin. Love the potato skin`

chicago (21)

Pork Ribs (Full Rack, Flaming Kansas City) @ RM59.90 with 2 side dishes

chicago (22)

This is not just ordinary slab of pork ribs. or I would say one of the more unique item in this restaurant.

chicago (23)

its accompany by the small little shot glass there, as they are going to bath the ribs with bourbon. . .

chicago (24)

Then they going to lit it up and burn it for a while to let the taste of the bourbon burns into the meat. While eating the ribs, you wont actually feel the taste of the alcohol but the after taste of a bit liquor makes it even better.

chicago (25)

Before you are eating the pork ribs, you will be given a napkin and I love the quote, Caution, Porking in Progress … I have finish one of the ribs and will proceed to another process. . .

chicago (26)

Pork Ribs (Full Rack, Original Flavor) with 2 side dishes @ RM53.90

Love the classic sauce which taste more towards a bit like bbq n enhance with abit spicy chili in it. Love this one too . .

chicago (27)

Grilled Bourbon Chicken @ RM27.90  

Two grilled boneless chicken breast topped with their signature bourbon sauce and sprinkled with mixed cheese. For the side dish, please choose the rice. as the rice is good!

chicago (28)

If you love pork a lot and prefer more on meaty, this is definately one of your choice . 8oz. Pork Tenderloin @ RM32.90 grill to perfection that the meat is still soft after grilling, and the marinated sauce on it is just perfect and to bring it up more outstanding, right at the bottom of the meat, they include their own home made apple cinnamon dressing which is a bit sweet in taste yet pairs along with the pork very well.

chicago (29)

Seafood lovers like my friend, they finish this Shrimp Olio @ RM32.90 just within minute, where you can see how generous of ingredient they had given in this plate. lots of shrimps .. .

chicago (30)

Hickory BBQ Bacon Burger @ RM29.90

chicago (31)

AS another star for the night, when you prefer something a bit budget yet satisfying, this bbq bacon burger is certainly worth to try. Its huge pork patty with melted cheeze and bacon just bring out the taste.

chicago (32)

after this heavy heavy dinner, a full dinner must end with desert to make it complete for me. . .Brownie Royale @ RM12.90 with the brownie is not too soft also not too sweet, yet top with vanilla ice cream just nice.

Satisfying meal for me and my friends, I would say, there are not many porky place available around the area, this restaurant definitely stood out. .  Recommended shop~

The funny thing is that, when May Ling ask me to join her for dinner and told me the name of the restaurant I was like hah? again and again. .. as the restaurant name is called Ricetaurant which is located in Bangsar Village 2 which I cant even remember when is the last time that I came here.

The changes here is quite alot that now host quite a number of nice cafe’s and restaurant in this building.

Rice Taurant (1)

Get to know one of the reason that why the restaurant is name like that because of Asian’s culture that most of us need to have rice on most of our meals.

Ricetaurant offers best of dishes around the region that makes it a bit fusion style.

Rice Taurant (2)

I like the restaurant design in such a way that, it looks like a small little hidden cafe in some ally when I was in Melbourne, with tree trunk and very classic kitchen utensils to be party of the design.

Rice Taurant (3)

Rice Taurant (4)

The place is not big, but good enough to provide us a very comfy dining space, with paintings on the wall and open space kitchen right in the corner.

Rice Taurant (5)

I like their menu, it reminds me when I was in primary school on maths homework exercise  book. Price wise is pretty decent which is not too over price with their portion being served.

Rice Taurant (6)

1) Apple, Elderflower and Lychee – just a perfect drink that blend till just perfect that I can taste the apple skin and very tiny small cubes of lychee – Recommended

2) Hainanese Tea

3) Pineapple, Orange and Mint

Rice Taurant (7)

Chinese Olives & Seafood Fried Rice smells good, that already know enough ‘wok hei’. The rice were fried till perfect dry, very fragrant in taste and just find that the black pepper taste slightly over power the overall taste. If they reduce a bit, it would be perfect.

Rice Taurant (8)

One of my favourite of the night is Teriyaki Chicken, which had been marinated very well, then cook along that the chicken is soft and every piece that I bite, the chicken is well coat with the sauce. Recommended

Rice Taurant (9)

A plain simple fried rice, that lean towards very simple chinese style is Chicken and Long Bean Fried Rice. Very mild in taste yet fragrant in wok hei and if you eat along with some curry dishes, just good enough to be satisfied for me.

Rice Taurant (10)

Another star of the night is Claypot Chicken, Yam and Dried Prawns in Nam Yue Sauce. Cook so well that the gravy is just thick enough, and some yam that just melts along with it, with cubes of chicken is soft and perfect to eat along with rice. – Recommended

Rice Taurant (11)

Sweet and Sour Fish

Rice Taurant (12)

If I am not mistaken this is Belacan Fried Chicken which is out of my expectation, fried crisply and by dipping with the sauce adds a bit kick but I still think eat it plain is much better and along with any of the fried rice.

Rice Taurant (14)

If you love cuisine from east, then this is another must order dish – Ayam Percik with Nasi Ulam

Rice Taurant (15)

The trick is, you must mix everything up Oxtail Asam Pedas, Sambal Belacan, Salted Egg, Ulam-ulam, Salted Fish and then eat along. Taste is pretty authentic with the ones I have tried before.

Rice Taurant (16)

After we are so full, I still decide to try out their Black Sticky Rice with Coconut Milk. Sticky enough, as the black stick rice cook till its soft and its a suprise that they add in lychee that makes it natural sweet on fruits, as I have always like mine to mix along with coconut milk which makes it perfect. Not many places I get to enjoy this and certainly this is one of the recommended desert for me.

After the whole meal, we are just satisfied and surely we are going to return for more, as most of the dish here are quite authentic and nice.

After checking out, and drive out of town about 20-30 minutes, this place was introduce by our friend Choe as she mention that this place serve nice seafood. The night before we had a disappointed seafood meal, hopefully and cross finger this is good.
When we arrive, I thought that this place looks kinda cool but surprisingly, we were the only guest there. Then I thought to myself that, hrmm…this place can go or not…*doubting.

An empty restaurant with we the only guest, so what kind of quality you can think of.

They have indoor and outdoor area. I was told by Choe that in the afternoon, the business is like that but during dinner time, you better get your ass there early as its sardine packed. This place is usually dine by most of the CEO and manager level people.

The food that we order, by the looks of it, it did not disappoint us, looks tempting yet delicious.

Start off our meal with ‘Duck in Kiam Chye soup’ that is totally a great start, sour that opens up your appetite with the flavor in the soup is just perfect. Walap the soup within seconds.
If I am not mistaken this is the ‘Prawn with Pineapple in Coconut Sauce’ is one of the dish that you should not miss. The not so thick in the gravy yet perfect and filled with the sweetness of the pineapple and the prawn that cook in soak in the flavor. Freshness of the prawns detected with hard texture yet juicy. RM20
Next don know what is the name of this dish, as the receipt given very cacat. Only written, prawn, veggie, chicken and this and that, only a key word.

Another good dish combination that goes along very well with rice.

 The ‘scallop’ is a bit small in size but it was pan fried with the gravy topping on top, a bit sweet yet salty is just something you would enjoy.

If not mistaken, this is the ‘Nyonya Fish’ quite big in the size yet the gravy showering on it, sweet, sour and salty with a bit thick in gravy, its good. RM43
This is one of the worst dish of all, not to say that the gravy is not good. Just that the crab that they serve is totally not fresh. Fresh crab meat suppose to be in slices but this crab meat is like soft like toufu. Damm Geli. Complain to the worker, yet he keep saying that they get the grab in the aquarium and its still alive when they capture it. Then told them why is it not fresh yet they keep saying the same thing. If we were given only 1 dead crab or not fresh we understand but the problem was the whole plate is a gone case.
We told them that we are not going to pay then the waiter was like lost and sad yet we ask him to ask the chef to check on the quality and the chef is like flipping in and put back out again. its like WTF! like dat also can ah~ Since the manger is not in that day, we told him that what is the minimal that we have to pay. He mention half and I told him max RM30. That’s all. The whole plate of crab cost RM80 and paying RM30 for that dish is consider overpaid. Wish that the manager was there that day.
I have nothing against this place, the food is quite nice compare to the 1 we had yesterday. Just that dissapointed on the crab.
