Nice authentic Thai food at Surisit – The Thai Kopitiam @ TTDI

19/07/2011 No Comments

In Malaysia, we have many types of Kopitiam, ranging from Hainanese, our traditional weekend joint nearby a market or at your favourite shop most of the time. I come across to most kopitiam have their own style of cooking especially those more to homecook style. Surisit The Thai Kopitiam is the latest joint that offer thai authentic cuisine that start to operate in this industry that hidden right in the heart of Taman Tun Dr.Ismail which is hidden right behind CIMB back area. .

You can find alot of Thai authentic food out there, with one good thing about this place is that you cant find many Thai Food that serve PORK and this is one I come across that makes us keen on it.

The kopitiam is easily spotted as its the only kopitiam that operate with pale orange colour lighting and wooden plants and wooden chairs right outside the shop.

Thai Bottle Drinks especially with fanta. . . .

If you travel to Thai, a few types of chili will be placed on the table to suits you or to spice you up.

Soya CinCau @ RM 7.90

Start off our first dish with Pucuk Paku Yam Pla or kerabu pucuk paku @ RM14.90/15.90. I find this dish is very appetizing or maybe I love sour taste to start off with, not only that, this dish is served cold and once start eating eat, I cant stop as it taste sour, little spicy and hint of coconut. – Recommended~

Next dish that is served that steal our hearts away instantly is this very fragrant Mun Thod Gapi @ RM16.90/24.90 or crispy fried pork served with their own home made chili. It was good, with its crispy skin, and the texture of pork is soft and evenly seperated out with some slices are filled with fats that some of my friends like it, and I love mine with just some fats. This plate was gone instantly. . Recommended~

Kheng Som Pla @ RM32.90 known as sour orange curry fish with vegetables. Its another dish that not to be miss when dine in a Thai restaurant or usually you would either order this or the fried fish. For soupy fans, you might enjoy this too as the fish is fried first instead of steam then bath with the soup. The crust of it is crispy, then eat along with the sour spicy soup. The soup is pretty additive to me tho . .

Pla Neung Prik Ma-Nao @ RM32.90 is another dish that must look out as the fish is deep fried then sprinkle with fine chili, lime, garlic and spring onion on top of it make it a bit challenging to eat as I cant really take spicy. This fish was evenly distributed with some people like to eat the fins, heads as it is very cripsy and fragrant yet best part of all, the fish is fresh as the meat is soft also must eat along with gravy on top.

Thai style fried egg omelette or Cha Om @ RM9.90

Kao Klut Gapi @ RM14.90/18.90 or belacan fried rice that serve along with sweetened pork

Then you just mix everything in the plate . . .. The combination of all flavours makes it extra kick, with cili padi, yet you get to taste sour lime as I squeeze both lime on top and young mango, then sweetened pork gravy.

We always would prefer go traditional as original tomyam is in clear soup just that malaysians had made it to fiery red style tom yam and we still stick to trandtional ones, comes this Tomyam Ka Moo @ RM25.90. The soup is good as it was cook along with pork and was very sourish just that it was not spicy as we expected, then after that we ask the person, they said this is the standard taste and we can request it to be spicier which we would next round~

Torb Tim Krob @ RM5.90

So far, Mango Pulut (Glutinous Rice with Mango) is offer in many Thai restaurant, this is quite good as the mango is very fresh, soft sweet and juicy, then eat along with soft sticky rice which top with coconut milk that makes it frangrant to eat along with the sweet mango @ RM8.90

Definitely this will be our another Thai restaurant to be in our hit list and we will definately will come back for more, as the chef actually allow us to order things off from the menu or just tell him a budget and he will prepare good authentic thai food for us. Just that need to book 3 days in advance. If you are looking for good thai food, this is one to hunt for. . Recommended~

Sticky Wicked Kitchen @ Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

01/06/2011 No Comments

I have always love other fast food outlets and I did walk pass this fast food chain Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen & Seafood many many times and till I heard a few of my friends actually love this more. Then we were at e-Curve last week and decided to give it a try.

Popeyes were founded in 1972 in New Orleans and is the world’s second largest quick-service chicken concept and it opened Malaysia’s first outlet in Taman Tun Dr Ismail in February 2009, and now has a total of 9 outlets located at Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Sunway Pyramid, Mid Valley, Wangsa Walk, Klang Parade, [email protected], Selayang Mall, The Mines Shopping Fair and Jalan Yap Kwan Seng.

A very classic style of fast food concept which is self-service that the menu is smack right on top. . .

When the guy at the counter promote the new item which is available for limited time Sticky Wicked Chicken which is unique, boneless chicken tossed in a flavourful new sauce. Its a tender juicy strips and a bit of spicy sauce, well fried and crisp at the edge. RM4.95 for ala-carte

Follow by this smack ass Bonafide Chicken that my friend was crazy about. It just came out from bathing in hot oil, super crispy skin and hot meat till I have to let it cool down before I can eat the meat. Instead of bun they give biscuits which appears to be one of its signature too . .

I thought it was another style of like friend chicken pop corn then only realize it is Fried Shrimps. Small size and easy for me as it is one piece per bite. . .

Fried Fish Fillet

Fried Chicken Strips

One thing that sure kick ass is their mash potato, it is very soft then filled with small chucks of mince meat in it. Then I dip it with biscuits is good!

I just love their fries, another item that I do not mind to just order and eat purely on it. Once start to eat it, it just cant stop.

As Malaysians just love to eat rice, then they also do have Popcorn Shrimp Rice bowl available, and it is a bit healthy eating, as inside the rice they have read beans.

Shrimp Sandwich

It surely didnt disappointed me and turns out to be good, I will be visiting this outlet again soon . . .also do check out their

Pork Burger @ D’Legend Bar -Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI)

10/11/2010 No Comments

Sometimes when you are lazy to drive far to meet up with friends for dinner or a drink, we always turn to the nearest place for cheap good food and drink that we can find. In Taman Tun Dr.Ismail, there are a lot of restaurant to hunt for, with recent discovery D’Legend bar which is a neighborhood bar that allows strangers to meet at the same bar then become friends.

A place that certainly offer nice and cozy ambience, with you can be seated comfortably on the couch area . . .with paintings of famous celebrities on the wall makes it look very homey too.

If you tend to drink alone, then you can choose to sit at the Bar area while watching your favourite football match. . .

and their dining area.

Sex on the beach – Malibu, Orange juice, Cherry syrup

Sipping one of my favourite beer, Kilkenny from the tap.

Start off with our little snacks which is served hot yet the sharp smell does make me want to take my fork to steal a piece instantly. ‘Samosa – Indian chicken curry puff served with mint chutney’ charge at RM6 nett is definately a bargain and to go along with beer.

Another starter good to go with beer with hint of spicy, sour and salty. ‘Spicy Ikan Bilis – A spicy dish of ikan bilis chillies & onions’ RM 6 nett

d Legends Pork Burger which is one of the in house signature dish that price at RM15nett

A thick patty of pork mince meat being finely grill added on with their in house mixing that with a layer melted cheese on top is something you definitely can consider.

Love the ‘Thai Pork Curry’ which is strong in spices taste and if you eat it cube like that would be a bit salty and spicy but eat along with rice, it just combines very well. RM14 nett

d Legends Pizza – Thin crust pizza topped with chicken ham and sausage, onions & chillies @ RM 18 nett

Besides the food that offers in D’Legend bar, I am definitely up for their Beer Promo which is kinda hard to turn down at:

Guinness or Kilkenny – 3 full pints for RM 50 nett every night! You pick your choice for the 3 pints, mixing is accepted here!

Taman Tun Dr.Ismail (TTDI) Pasar Ramahdan 2010

27/08/2010 No Comments

One of the thing that I have been asking around from my Malay friends and colleague are which pasar ramahdan is recommended to go? There are a few actually with like of Kelana Jaya, Taman Tun Dr.Ismail (TTDI) Pasar Ramahdan 2010 and one of the most highly recommended was Taman Melawati but then for this round, we, me, Ken and Andrew decided to make our first street photography and food hunt at TTDI.

We reach the place pretty early around 3pm and there are still some stalls setting up but most of them are already selling like hot cakes. One of the reason that the residence are unhappy about this about the traffic is cannot deny that this TTDI Pasar Ramahdan is quite impressive with its size of the bazaar is big, circulating the main middle area of shop houses. It will be start off with the stretch in front Popeye towards KFC and to Shell end, more like a retangular shape. You Imagine yourself how big it is.

this post will be more on pictures on this lovely Pasar Ramahdan.
