Ribena Blended. Kah Mun ordered a cup of RM8.00 worth of Ribena Blended. It tasted like overpriced, sweetened Ribena, to be honest, but it sort of saved my life after I finished my cup of drink, just because I was too thirsty and I was too bloated to order another cup of drink.

 
Teh Tarik. This was mine. Personally, I thought it was a good cup of Teh Tarik, although I repeatedly became thirsty after a few minutes. It wasn’t too sweet, and it wasn’t anywhere close to tasteless either.

 
Triple H. Four of us ordered this sandwich and shared. Yes, it was a sandwich wrapped with a piece of fried egg, and it was filled with chicken meat. It may sound very ordinary and easy to be made. Still, I thought it was worth the price for its uniqueness. Or maybe not. The fragrance of the egg was really good, to the extent that we couldn’t help but to finish it before our own spaghetti were even ready to be served.

 
Carbonara Chicken Turkey Ham Spaghetti. This was my spaghetti, cooked together with classic bacon and egg with turkey ham in a super creamy sauce. Certainly, you can always choose between turkey ham, meatballs, or smoked duck. Compare it with the cup of Teh Tarik and imagine the size of the spaghetti!

One thing to be mentioned though, was their funny services. Rou Han ordered Olive Garlic Pasta with Beef, whereas my order was Carbonara Chicken Turkey Ham Spaghetti. The waiter actually reconfirmed our order prior to placing it at the counter. Yet, when the food was served, they got confused. They served me with beef and they served Rou Han with turkey ham. Hm.

Before Nadeje finally opened its outlet in Petaling Jaya, I had been trying different types of Original Mille Crepe from one place to another, and I concluded that Arthur's Hokkaido Mille Crepe Cake served the best one among all. Or should I say that its Original Mille Crepe is the only edible one compared to all that I have tried? Ever since I visited Nadeje, I now have two options for a piece of Original Mille Crepe!

 

 
As I put a mouthful of my Original Mille Crepe into my mouth, I could instantly feel the many layers of the cake, and I immediately fell in love in the cake. However, a layer of sugar was added on top, making it slightly too sweet for my liking. It’s actually the texture that I like, whereas for the one available at Arthur's Hokkaido Mille Crepe Cake, it’s the taste that attracts me.

 
Don, who always loves to be adventurous, had their Cheese Mille Crepe. Personally, I wouldn’t even recommend this because I would only go for Original Mille Crepe, but Don said that it was good. The feeling was there, and it has very strong smell of cheese.

 
We shared a cup of Iced Hazelnut Café at RM8.80. It literally burned a big hole in our pocket. I wouldn’t think it was worth the price, since it was merely okay as a cup of coffee.

During our visit, we had to queue for quite a while since it was a Sunday. The shop wasn’t spacious, so it was quite pack, and the tables available indoor are very limited. We eventually had to sit outside and dealt with the cigarette smell and hot weather. Hence, if you hate to be in such situation, I would suggest you to bring it back home and enjoy it in a better environment, unless if you’re lucky enough to grab a seat in the shop itself. Price wise, the cakes were priced similarly to the other competitors so I was fine with it.

It was waaaaaaayyy before I graduated from Diploma in Tourism Management that Don and I went to Backofen at Taylor’s Univerisy, which was still quite new in the campus. I still visit this restaurant with my girls today, and I have been in love with their Big Breakfast Set, even though it’s extremely filling.

 
This plate of Potato Salad topped with their homemade creamy mayonnaise was so delicious, partly due to my love for potatoes. We nodded our heads once we tasted a mouthful of it. Just a few days ago, I ordered myself a plate of Chicken Schnitzel that came together with a small bunch of potato salad. It was slightly less creamy than it used to be, but still tasted as great.

However, it is not recommended to be consumed as a side dish, because the portion might be too huge for most people.

 
Don ordered Spaghetti Carbonara cooked with thick, creamy sauce. The awesome smell assailed my nostrils upon serving. In addition, I had been receiving positive feedback all the while, from my friends who had given it a good try.

You be the judge!

 
I ordered Grilled Chicken topped with mushroom sauce, served together with grilled potatoes. I personally think that the boneless chicken could have been slightly bigger, but the sauce was yummy.

Just for your information, the comments are based on my opinion a few years back, and it does not mean that everything would be the same today, unless mentioned above. If you happen to be a big eater and would like to have heavy breakfast in the morning, go for their Big Breakfast Set. It's been a great meal when I only have an hour break in between. Also, they only serve breakfast in the morning, and only breakfast.

Dim Sum at De Templer Restaurant Smile Apr 27, 2013

Categories : Chinese | Malay | Restaurant | Halal | Dim sum

In the afternoon right after Farah sent her mum back home in Cheras, she drove me to this restaurant with Muslim and Chinese cuisines, namely De Templer Restaurant, to fill up our tummies before we headed to Batu Caves. She said she wanted to bring me there and she said she felt good that she did it today. smile Thanks a gazillion, Farah. It's indeed a good recommendation to me, to be frank. All we had were only dim sums instead of other ala carte dishes but the dim sums were kind of huge that our tummies were bloated.

 
This was a kind of transparent dumpling with awesomely fresh prawns and fresh scallops inside that cost me RM5.80, which was actually the most expensive dim sum among what I had ordered.

 
I bet you have heard of Siew Mai, since it's the most famous kind of dim sum, but they're usually filled with pork. Nonetheless, this one that I had was filled with purely fresh prawns only. Yes, their prawns were all fresh and well-cooked.

 
This was another kind of transparent dumpling with only fresh prawns inside, similarly to the Siew Mai filled with prawns above.

 
This was undoubtedly Chee Cheong Fun with prawns inside. So many dishes with prawns within an hour! Oh yes, I love prawns but the fried onion on top sort of ruined the original taste of it, and it's slightly saltier than usual.

 
My fried dumplings with more fresh prawns inside! In my opinion, it tasted better without the mayonnaise because I always prefer it to be original. Yes, this kind of fried dumplings seems to be one of my favorite dim sum but unfortunately, most of the dim sum restaurants mix the fillings with meats instead of purely prawns. After the only restaurant that has the yummiest fried dumplings with prawns back in Bandar Menjalara, De Templer Restaurant has definitely become my new love. lol

 
Seeing this makes me think of announcing good news to all my readers, especially the Muslims. This is definitely a halal restaurant, so you need not worry about anything. All you have to do is step into the restaurant, get a place that you like, settle down, order whatever you want, and enjoy your meal. It's easy! ;)

I rated 4 over 5 for the dim sum but I'm not sure about the other foods they served because I have never tried any of them. Whilst for the services, I rated 3 over 5 because it's only slightly better than normal. What are you waiting for?

It was the night after my actual birth date that my girlfriend, Farah, who just touched down in Kuala Lumpur International Airport in the beginning of March 2013 after approximately five months of being in Amsterdam, finally made it to meet me again at Berjaya Times Square. It was a simple yet meaningful dinner for my 21st birthday, with two of the most important humans in my life other than my family. Knowing that she craved badly for Korean food ever since she came back, the date was decided to be held at Dubu Dubu SEOUL Food.

 
Oftentimes, I would look at the price before I place an order, especially when I dine in at places normally meant for special occasions. The night was rather different than usual. I picked Iced Citron Tea that cost me freaking RM6.90 although I was very clear that I could make one of my own at home. If by any chance I could return to the place again one day, I would love to try out their Citron Dubu and Dubu Dubu Bingsu because desserts made with Korean tofu seem unique.

 
Iced Peach Tea at RM6.90? Their peach must be planted in somewhere special. Don and Farah claimed that it was good though.

 
At Dubu Dubu SEOUL Food, they serve toppokki, the Korean rice cakes, with a choice of spicy sauce or cheese. Typically, I would prefer the latter one because you could hardly find Cheese Toppokki being served at all Korean restaurants in Malaysia. Still, we ended up getting ourselves a plate of Spicy Toppokki to share instead, and I would leave the Cheese Toppokki for my next visit.

 
Don has always loved Korean marinated beef for the special sauce they commonly use. Thus, he had his Honey Garlic Bulgogi Beef Set, which the meat was grilled and infused with their Dubu Dubu honey garlic sauce, served together with a bowl of black rice and three side dishes, at RM20.90. You may always opt for chicken depending on your preference, and that's part of my plan!

 
Farah and I coincidently chose Soondubu Jigae Set with Chicken as our meal of the night, which it was literally a mixture of chicken and silky smooth tofu cooked in hearty broth to extract its wholesome flavors, served piping hot and steaming with fabulous aromas. Similarly, it came with a bowl of black rice and three side dishes. At RM15.90 per set, I thought it's still within the acceptable range.

Before any misunderstanding is arose, all the prices stated above are subject to 10% service charge and government service tax. Meh!

My overall dining experience with Dubu Dubu SEOUL Food was really good, except that the staffs should be more attentive to the guests and well-trained. It's quite ridiculous when the staff walked away right after we asked for bill, instead of informing us about what we should do, merely because we had to pay at the counter. Nonetheless, I will be sure to return to any outlets of Dubu Dubu SEOUL Food again for more interesting delicacies. Wait for me!
