Ikan Bakar (Istana Negara) @ Jalan Bellamy, KL

No Comments

One of the place that my colleague really fond of when comes to lunch time, this place had attracted them to drive all the way from Bukit Jalil to somewhere behind Istana Negera, Jalan Bellamy to hunt for this Ikan Bakar (Grill Fish) stall around the area. I used to think, what is so good about this place as they always mention Ikan Bakar ya for lunch, till I tag along.

ikan bakar (1)

In the area, it is very obvious that there is a stretch of Ikan Bakar stall with only one of it is extremely busy compare to the others. The trick is, arriving early to get a parking space as the area are quite small and its limited parking available, also long queue in the line for food and finding tables.

I am suprise to see the huge frying pan filled with alot of seafood being grilled and consistant grilling till after lunch, with common grilled seafood are, sotong (squids), udang (prawns), ikan (fish), and many other types more. Most of the seafood are huge in size.

Then there is a tray located next to the grilled pan and from there, is where you start hunting for your favourite seafood to be place on your plate.

The things that you must not miss out when eating ikan bakar is their special sauce ingredients, as most of the stalls have different taste and types of chili to be added onto the seafood as condiments for this stalls is called ‘cicah kicap’ that I usually added it on with fish to add on some extra kick to it, filled with lime taste, and a bit sweet in sauce. Next is the ‘spicy sambal’ that my colleague whack it like nobody’s business as if like not spicy. One simple dip on it, makes my tears instanly flow out and sweat oozing out. It is very spicy, do try it out if you love the challenge under this hot weather.

One of my favourite seafood ‘Ikan Pari’ (sting ray) as I like it with the meat is easily peel off and dip with both the condiments. Just do note that the bigger the fish is, the meat are harder, I usually prefer mine in a smaller piece which is nicely grilled with the banana leave wraping over it to create the extra aroma.

Then I tried ‘Siakap’ (if not mistaken) as I prefer this the most. Grilled till very aromatic with a bit burn on the skin and the meat is very soft.

Sotong (Squid)

ikan bakar (8)

One of the food I was told by the Makcik to try on it is this homemade ‘Tapai’, a type of traditional fermented food origins from East and SouthEast Asia which is made of cassava and rice or glutinious rice. I usually do not like the taste of it, but for this homemade version, I find the taste quite okay, with the fermented taste is mild and the rice is soft. I finish one of it by myself.

ikan bakar (9)

If you feel that you do not like what offer on the pan grill then there is a Nasi Melayu behind the stall which offer alot of food on the tray for you to choose. By the time I left was around 1pm and the place is crazy, with all the lunch crowd pouring in and the traffic had worsen.

Overall, the food is okay, once a while to dine here is pretty alright as the price is a little pricy compare to the location of it. . .

I wanna watch Toy Story 3

No Comments

I remembered when I was young and Toy Story came out for the first time I was so excited as it was one of the animation cartoon that we don normally get to watch every day, and I fell in love with it and watch over many times with my brother when we got to do. Toy Story 3

untitled
With Toy Story 3 coming back on screen, I definately would want to watch it again as I still remember how Woody and Buzz Lighthers went through all the hassle and adventure together. A great memory how this show captures our heart at that time and I believe part 3 would be a great story.

TOY STORY 3
Definately I am picking this ‘Chatter Telephone’ as I believe this character would be very cute, cannot resist friendly face till roll its eyes up and down and the pleasing sound keeps every one happy, cannot deny that now its one of the item that ideal for our hands, which I am looking forward for Nuffnang to give me a ring on the tickets.

I am hoping to meet all the Toy Story fans, consider it a reunion on that day.. C ya~

Macau Restaurant @ Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Pier

No Comments
Back to my delay post of my Hong Kong trip, this is the itenery for day 3 that we are heading to Macau for a day trip. So we woke up at 7am and have to gather at lobby by 8am as the tour guide going to pick us up for this trip. The day trip package with tour guide that we had arranged cost about HKD 350 each including the ship fare.

It was early in the morning when we reach there, as we still have 45 minutes before departing and we grab a quite breakfast. Ask the tour guide which is the best restaurant to have for breakfast and he recommended Macau Restaurant. He added that he don earn commission on this ya.

When we were looking at the restaurant we saw the logo on the side of the restaurant and looks very familiar and only realize that it is the logo of Nando’s. Then we were thinking, no copy right meh? Can just use like dat 1 ah. Then later only found out that Macau was conquer by Portuguese before and Nando’s is originate from there.

It was still quite early there and in the restaurant had not much people, so we occupied the whole outside area of the restaurant.

Again, one thing I like about Hong Kong is the way they offer the breakfast set. Set A, B, C or D. which they called it ‘A Chan or B Chan’

They only pass us 2 menus to choose from. So particularly we nearly everything offer in there.

We were also told that we must try the ‘Portugese Tart’ which is very very nice. Highly Recommended by the tour guide. Which cost HKD 7 per piece as you can see.

The very first order that came was the ‘Portuguese Tart’ which is just directly infront of us. The quantity that we order that makes the whole oven left 1/ 4. The outer layer of the tart is crispy, never over baked. One bite in, the filling in the middle is soft custard that brings out the sweetness of it, never too sweet but just perfect and the top layer just burn with the right temperature that create a thin layer of crust. A good appetizer to start off with, as expected.

Enjoying my bites of the tart’s.
My order is ‘Set A-Macaunese Crispy Bun w/pork chop and Scramble Egg’. The bun is seriously very nice, as come out what taken in the pic. The pork is fried to perfection, never too meaty in the inside and the sauce that the use just the right one to eat it along with the crispy bun. First bite in it, the crisps on the side just fall off, the taste in the bun something like butter but its not, a fragrance which is nice to eat along with the pork chop. The scramble egg is very soft and it will melts in your mouth. HKD 25 for this.
‘Set C – Oatmeal, Ham and Egg Sandwich’. When got served to our table, was a bit shocking that it just so bloody plain and cost HKD 26,even more expensive than mine. The only thing is unique is the bread and the ham. It is very chewy and eat along with the toasted oat bread and some of the chili sauce there, is just satisfying for a plain meal.
The thing that I will never miss for my breakfast is their ‘Polo Yau Bun’. With a thick layer of butter in there that slowly melting in it and the warm polo bun just makes the taste even better. The top crust one bite the crust will just fall down. Not too sweet and just perfectly baked. I ended up ate 2. HKD 9 if not mistaken.
‘Sausage with Fried Egg’. Nothing much to comment on this, its just way too plain and cost HKD 20. shit!

Since the day reach Hong Kong, this dish was never out of sight ‘Jar Jiang Mian’. The one in this restaurant wasn’t really that nice. The gravy is a bit sweet and not warm. The Maggie is abit over cook which makes it a bit soft instead of springy.

‘Noodle with Harm Choy’. A plain noodle soup that makes it stand out is the sour soup that they pour in. The soup never too sour that makes your jaw bones wanna fall out but a good starter of the meal. Share with the rest.

‘Set D – Thick Toast with Butter Sweet Corn, Ham and Sausage with Cullet Fish Fillet’. We were wondering how they manage to cook the ham, and the fillet was fried to golden brown. Although it looks very plain but the taste of it is way much nicer. The fillet is very soft that shows the sign of freshness and again eat along with the toast and the chili sauce its just perfect. The corn was steam to ngam ngam and a bit of salt to bring up the taste. The price is HKD 26

All the set above comes with a ‘Tea, Coffee or Yin Yeong(mix)’
So early in the morning and have such a satisfying breakfast, we were charge up to explore Macau and my friend start to collect money to go Gamble. Every 1 contribute abit. Macauuuuuu…here we comee…..To be continue……..
