So it's Friday long lunch again and we head to Sunway Putra Mall. Being a regular we were running out of ideas of where to dine in and we were along the highest top floor, named as the Selera Street if I'm not mistaken with tons of restaurants around.

We were passing by the famous Lorong Seratus Tahun when we were attracted by this banner. Chicken rice set in bamboo shoot. Sounds interesting yes?

So we sat only to find out that it was sold out. So fast. Fine then we opt for other set lunches which costs approximately RM15 per head inclusive of a drink. Probably another one or two bucks more to include gst charges.

There were quite a number of selections to choose from, chicken nyonya set, fried chicken 'berempah' set and myself had the stingray rice set. One may have to come earlier though to have more choices as another set was sold out too. Think they were trying to limit their quantity produced in order to minimize costs?

I was pretty skeptical at first as it isn't easy to find good sting rays dishes outside in restaurants. When it came, it was wrapped in foil paper. Once opened the heat was oozing out and I can smell whole lots of tomatoes and I was right. The sauce is more to the sweetness less spicy and sourish. Perhaps adding lime will make it better.

Thankfully the fish has got no fishy taste as I learned that good quality ones shouldn't have those fishy taste. There were lady fingers added in as well. 

Overall it wasn't too bad but still lacking the oomph.

Health Conscious OK Feb 29, 2016   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Vietnamese | Restaurant | Steaks / Chops | Seafood | Noodles


After a whole lot of sinful and never ending meaty meal during the Chinese New Year holidays we were craving for more healthy and less meaty options.

And the first healthy food that came into our mind is Pho Hoa. As far as I heard it's a franchise from overseas and they have outlets in Malaysia yet they are not very famous and crowded compared to Vietnam Kitchen.

So we had their signature noodles I.e. Vermicelli with grilled chicken and prawns. The noodles comes with a hefty lots of vegetables. Lettuce, bean sprout, carrots and lots more. It's a dry noodle where you need to pour in their sauce in it. Their sauce tasted like Thai chilli sauce with a bit of spicy and sour making it so apetitizing. I personally think if we add in some ground nuts it will be even better!

As for the grilled chicken rice it was pretty normal. White rice with grilled chicken meat but the meat was juicy and marinated to perfection. Not too dry with the right amount of texture. Perfecto.

Dad had their Vietnamese Drip Coffee too. The waiter was quite nice to offer if he wants to add on more hot water to the drip so he could have more despite the fact that the water might be diluted though. Anyhow you rarely get such an offer from other Vietnamaese Restaurant. Kudos to the friendly staff!

Dessert time OK Feb 28, 2016

Chocolate cravings 

It was a Saturday night and the kids were craving for dessert. Yes both the big kids and the small ones.

We went to The Curve, spent some time at the Kids Zone with free indoor playground before heading to Dip & Dip and E curve. Or to be precise, right entire E curve there is a walkway joining the two The Curbe and the E curve on the second floor directly above Coffea Coffee.

It was quite packed on a Saturdsy night but we still manage to grab a table. We were pretty full from dinner so we only ordered one pancake and one crepe.

The pancake comes with four pieces with chocolate sauce and some whipping cream. While the crepe was sliced like noodles and the waiter will come and poured the chocolate sauce on top in front of you. Sort of like a mini show I guess. Kids were really happy to watch the drizzling and oozing chocolate sauces!

Taste wise, the pancake was pretty bland. You might need to dip in quite a lot of chocolate. Comes with a few strawberries too.

Crepe is fine and it comes with a Vanilla ice cream as well. One may find its a bit tad too sweet but well you can't really find unsweetened ones unless it's dark cocoa. So once in a while of sinful indulgence is fine I guess.

We ordered two glasses of ice lemon tea too and the bill came up to a whopping RM 70 bucks. We were surprised and taken aback. The price is indeed on the high side. Blue moon kind of splurge I guess.

It's New Paris again! OK Feb 28, 2016

Categories : Chinese | Restaurant | Seafood

Whenever we run out of ideas to dine, my family will head straight to New Paris as it is near our place.
To be honest, the food wasn't that good to shout about but it wasn't bad either. And for the price we are paying, it is consider as cheap among all other local Chinese Restaurants.
Since uncle is back in town for new year, we brought them to this place for dinner. We did not opt for their typical menu but proceed to order ala crate dishes.
We had Pork Ribs, Stir Fry squid with long beans, Taufoo clay pot, Vegetables with garlic and a butter prawn. Not forgetting their signature dish, the watermelon chicken.
For those who have never been, the watermelon chicken may look interesting. The flesh will be shaped into a ball like watermelon perfect for dessert after meal. The chicken itself tasted sweet with a slight hint of sourish. Some may find the taste weird some may like it depending on your preference.
The stir fry squid was pretty good too. With lots of onions and some Thai alike sauce, so appetizing with lots of long beans. All in all we still enjoyed our dinner at a reasonable price.

Thai Tuk Tuk OK Feb 28, 2016   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Thai | Restaurant | Noodles

The name itself sounds funky enough, yes?

I didn’t know what to expect as I heard about this place from my aunt who used to be their regular customer. She was talking about it all the time that we finally decided to give it a try last night.

It was a Wednesday, yet the place was quite filled up with patrons. We manage to make a booking prior to that as the tables were quite small and we have a large group of 14 people with us. Better book than to be sorry!

Once arrived, we were surprised as the deco pretty much resembles a local thai café kind of ambience with a small street food stall tucked at the side of the entrance.

The menu was quite a long list to choose from offering lots of choices for us the diners. There were even a few areas of food, segmented by different places i.e. Bangkok, Hatyai and Chiang Mai etc.

So we had quite a number of selections, hatyai chicken rice, green curry chicken, steamed chili and lime fish and squid, chicken wings and a whole lot of dessert. Overall, taste wise it was okay. I would say we have tasted better and more flavorful that street food elsewhere but this isn’t too bad either.

We also had their bbq food platter but that is definitely overpriced and nothing much to shout about. Mostly consist of steamboat ingredients like beancurd, fish balls, and squids. We spent RM 500 for 14 people.
