Shell Out @ Kota Damansara

06/08/2013 No Comments

There are some restaurant are just unique in a way and why I mention that is this new restaurant that open to its door to public 2 months ago are serving fresh seafood to you and there are no plates and cutleries being provided. To enjoy the maximum feel of the food is you have to eat it with your hand. Shell Out Seafood restaurant is inspired from US itself as the owner just came back from the states and decided to do something similar for us to try it out.

Shell Out Seafood is one of another restaurant tug inside this busy area where carpark can be a huge problem during day and night, there will be more luck for us. 🙂

Interior here are pretty, as they decorate in a way that we are dining in a mini fishing village that is indoor version, with wooden seating arrangement, fishing net as the wall and you can see crab, fishes on the net too.

It also gives me the Taiwan feeling when I visited one of the cafe last round. They do provide alot of colourful pen for you to pen down anywhere in the shop to make it more creative design as part of their interior.

Menu here is very straight forward as they serve most of the items with shell as mains. That’s how the name of the shop came about.

Set lunch that they are offering are considering cheap. For all your seafood, you can pick the sauce that you would love to add in that comes with 4 types of flavour to add on, Cajun Sensation, Lemon Pepper, Butter Garlic, Spice Up – with 3 level and Shell Bang(which is all sauce mix into one)

Before you eat, you will be given a neck napkins is to prevent the messy sauce flying over and landed on our shirt. We love their quote. Life is too Short to be Serious. Let’s EAT!

Fried Sweet Potato makes a good starter as its being introduce to us, selling at RM 8.90 per basket. The Fried Fish Basket serves deep fried baby pomfret that is crispy inside out @ RM 10.90 per basket.

When you do not have a proper dining area as they pave the whole table with a huge chocolate sheet of dining paper, and sauce are given to us. See what happen to the table and food. Turn into art pieces.

Seafood serve here is very unique as I said they doesnt serve along with plates and the come in bag. It remind me of MacD shaker fries as this is seafood shaker. 😀

Upon our order, it goes by gram. This is 250 g for 5 pax of us with Scallop in 1/2 shell with Butter Garlic sensation (mild) – The scallops were well marinated, shaken in the bag and till butter garlic paste, are landed evenly. Scallop is so fresh and the flavour is little spicy with lemon sour end. Obvious that they have added lemon in but its fragrant enough to make your engine once start, its hard for you to stop.. Its too little and I guess 500g would be a perfect fit.

Price: RM17.90/250g | RM35.90/500g

Another 2 item that came about is Prawns and Clam

Clam (LALA) in Lemon Pepper sensation (mild) – Fresh clams well marinated in lemon pepper paste, tasted really flavourful especially after squeezed in the lemon juices on it. It has mild peppery taste too.

Price: RM15.90/500g ; RM29.90/1kg

Prawns here are so fresh that I love the texture of the meat, solid and light chewy, with the flavour added on Butter Garlic making it perfect in taste. Not too heavy flavoured, yet you can taste on the mild butter and garlic end. Do squeeze lemon into it, it brings the flavour out more prominent.

King Prawn in Butter Garlic sensation (mild) – @ RM28.90/300g | RM39.90/500g | RM75.90/1kg

This is what we really mean when no tables and cutlers are given. Making sure our finger licking good sensation..keke

Next is interesting as it pack with jumbo sausages, corn (are all additional added items) with Crawfish (YABBIES) in Cajun Sensation + Butter Garlic + Lemon Pepper sensation (OMG lvl 3) .

The taste of it is very unique is like when you cook something fail then you add on whatever ingredient you have then it turns out to be good. Flavour is blended pretty well with sour, spicy, sour and mild sweet is tasted and its a must try for all of you. Spicy OMG lvl 3 is not really spicy after all. We thought that we gonna have huge drop of sweat and tongue go numb and its no where near that.

Price: RM45.90/500g | RM78.90/1kg

The most unique seafood that we have on table for that night is Japanese Snails in Cajun Sensation + Butter Garlic + Lemon Pepper sensation (mild) –

I must say that the snails are huge and Caroline and Eric is like yew.. don want eat can ah . .

Still need to try at least once. See its, really a huge snail, and the texture is pretty unique that the head part is pretty chewy, centerpart is pretty soft and the tail is really really soft till like taufufa already. Dip with more sauce and you wont feel it. Its like eating some unagi experience for me la.

Crab in Cajun Sensation + Butter Garlic + Lemon Pepper sensation (mild) @ market price.

This is how messy it had turn into by the end of the meal. If you are looking for some new dining experience, do come by this shop and its pretty interesting. Of course you can mix and play with the sauces which is available then my own preference, I would recommend Butter Garlic for Prawns/ Crabs follow by Cajun Sensation + Butter Garlic + Lemon Pepper sensation (OMG lvl 3) .

Since all of us are here, we conteng conteng on their panel also.:D

Its a seafood restaurant and do expect to pay a bit more for this. Please please do order beer. Pairs so well. Yummz!

Love the Deserts and Snacks – Kedai Makanan dan Minuman PMK @ Off Jalan Pudu

31/10/2012 No Comments

It had been quite a while since I last visited this shop that used to be one of my favourite shop to come for ‘Tong Sui’ and some kuih when I used to stay in Loke Yew. Kedai Makanan dan Minuman PMK still maintain one of my favourite place to come by as I usuall come here pretty late around 9’ish whereby most of the stuff sold out but still can get those what I want.

Kedai Makanan dan Minuman PMK is located nearby Pudu Plaza where its not hard to find. A simple coffee shop that offer local delicacies that are pretty well known for their Chinese deserts and snacks that can satisfy my crave easily, would say one of the best stall in KL for tong sui.

Price in here are very decent . . .

Its a simple kopitiam seating arrangement. . .

Some of their signature kuih .. .

My Ginger soup with Tong Yuen, is one of my favourite. I used to hate ginger soup as time pass by I learn to accept and start to like it. Ginger soup base here is slightly strong and spicy and those who do not prefer the strong taste would end up disliking it. Comes with sesame filling and pair perfectly with the soup base.

Another one of my favourite is Herbal Egg Tea, that not many places can cook this tong sui very well. One which I often make a take away as its too good to be miss. Mild in taste yet light fragrant on herbal taste make it a good soup to turn down. Comes with an herbal egg too.

As when I crave for dumplings, here would be an option that price is reasonable yet comes generous ingredient.

If any of you do pass by here, here is definitely one of the place to drop by for visit especially on their ‘tong sui’. Well, another recommended place by me.

Watami Japanese Casual Restaurant @ 1-Utama

21/02/2012 No Comments

Many of us know that 1-Utama is going thru major renovation especially on the old wing. From there, it had attracted many new retailing outlets to be operating in there and now if we go again, you get to see new F&B shops too. One of the newly operated outlet in the mall is this catchy shop that the front is painted red which is very eye catchy in the mall is this Watami Japanese Casual Restaurant as this lot used to be operate by Italianese which I rate one of the best in food among their other outlet.

[Update Jan 2014: NO Longer in operation]

Watami is another new concept with Japanese Fusion style dining.

Love the interior that painted with red, dim with orangy lights that make it a perfect comfort place to dine in.

Seating arrangement also have in their own private session with a table of 2-4 .. .

A little private corner with table for 2 that have some wooden structure to block it.

In their menu, they offer quite a good range of food ranging from classic sashimi, Japanese rool, pan fried, and others.

If you dine in a group, you can opt to choose on their value saving package group set ranging from 2-4 pax set. As this round we are in a group of 4, we decided to go for the set that is charge at RM200+ with the actual value of RM282 ++ that give you lots of food to be place on the table.

YOu can choose what type of drinks you want but we decided to go for 4 different types.

– green citrus cola

– green citrus green tea

– green citrus tea

– green citrus Yuzu Marmalade Soda

Assorted Sashimi is in a fine cut, quite thick and fresh.

Tokusen Sushi Moriawase is a plate mixture of a few assorted sashimi

Tempura Moriawase

Teriyaki Chicken Salad

I always love Japanese Salad because of their special dressing that pairs it very well. For ladies that decided to go for salad, this is one of a good choice!

Wafu Pizza – pizza topped with terriyaki chicken that specially made in super thin slice which I called it Japanese Style, crispy on the edge of the pizza with the sauce that makes the pizza disappear within minutes after it was served.

followed by an egg was serve along with . . .

Udon that we get to choose in a types of 3 ..

to pair along with our hotpot Shio Chanko Nabe, that is being offer in the set.

First few sips of the soup taste great and addictive as it head towards the end of the base it gets more salty.

One of my favorite for the night is Wafu Hitokuchi Steak, that is cook medium well, just nice to chew and dip along with the sauce to make it extra kick, yet I still prefer mine to be eaten without the sauce. . 😀

Tokyo GyudonTokyo Gyudon is beef rice bowl with hot spring egg in Tokyo style. Fine slices of beef being cook along that top with half boil egg Japanese style.

At the end of the meal, the sets came with 4 ice cream and again we decided to order all flavour and share among us. Vanilla ice cream, black sesame ice cream, matcha ice cream, chocolate ice cream, one of the stand out ones are Chocolate and black sesame.

Well, Watami certainly offer a nice dining experience especially with their good attentive customer service that they have train for their staff.

Wedding Cakes by Sunny Yaw to Kelly & Matt @ Parkroyal Hotel, Batu Ferringi

17/01/2010 No Comments

Since this 2 months is all about wedding season so I take this opportunity to blog about this as it was on my previous long holiday back at Penang and that is when I got a chance to tag along with Sunny to deliver his cake to the client for his wedding cake. To my surprise, I never thought that the wedding cake could weigh so heavy that easily weigh around 9-12kgs as I always thought that the top layer would be the original and the bottom layer is all dummies that proves me wrong on this wedding cakes until I lifted it myself.

Helping out Sunny to do the delivery as the cake is place on my lap and have to take a good care of it during the journey to Parkroyal at Batu Ferringi. When I reach, I was bombshell that it was actually a garden style wedding dinner instead in a ballroom that I have not attend one in actual before.

It would actually be a girls dream to have a garden style wedding, perfectly setting up garden style with outdoor atmosphere that located next to the seaside, with sea breeze blowing and the smell of the salty sea.

The lovely board that show the seating of all the invited guest which pair with the theme of that place.

This is what I mean with garden style wedding dinner concept.

The seating arrangement of the newly wed and all their fellows parents will be seated in this area facing all the crowd. Feels like one of the part in Hollywood movie.

I just love how the tables got set up with lovely Chinese fusion influence with the guest name all on the table with a pair of chopsticks as their souvenir.

Yet you are enjoying the rest of the night with nice char grill, bbq, and buffet style dinner.

With the invited singers that singing slow ballet songs on the background yet we get a chance to talk with every one on the table with some windy sea breeze yet if you don like it here, you can walk to the sea side or pool side.

Popping your champagne with a blast …

Cutting the cake by Sunny Yaw with the white wedding cake with something relates to home, she wanted flowers and have the seal on the cake that had requested by Kelly.
