Canoodling da noodlings~

What an interesting restaurant! You know it just from the name itself!

L.O.V.E the restaurant concept. So focus and simple. All about noodles. Soup or dry. The food are simple, really. Nothing extra ordinary or over the top. Price for all meals are standardized at RM9.90. Kan senang?

I had beef noodle, which is really nice. Reminds me of the Vietnam beef noodle. The meat is tender and i love the noodle texture. Shana had dry duck noodle or sthing like that. SEDAP! I'm not a fan of duck, but that was one juicy duck. Came with cili potong...ish, sedap lah.

Shafiq had tomyam meehoon. The tomyam is the clear type. You can taste the distinct lime taste, which i love. For hardcore tomyam lovers like shafiq who prefers red tomyam, this is not for you.

Icing on the cake is the atmosphere of the restaurant itself. Moden, simple and a nice place to chill with friends. It's not noisy unless there are groups of people there for birthday celebrations like what we experienced la :p

I'm baaaaaccckkk! Belanga, this is for u for making my day!

I've forgotten how much writing about food makes me happy..just as happy as food consumption! but writing about it will not make me fatter..so better la kot :D hehehe

So, I'm back!

With all the stressful aura at work and what not, I've decided, I've gotta have sthing saint to get ma mind off the craziness of the world, so nyummylicious it is then.

My comeback post is for Belanga. Plainly because i've been having hell of a year and even hell-er (got ah such word?) of a week that i just needed a place that i can have good food (with good price tag) and just to lepak and chill with a friend i can sembang2 with. So I had my lunch at Belanga, Empire Mall today with Izzah.

I had Nasi Kerabu Ayam Percik and Teh Ais. Izzah had Mee bandung and Nusantara Ice Blended. I must say, for a modern restaurant, the food is super homemade ok! I cant remember the last time I had such good Nasi Kerabu. I think it was many2 years back from a pasar malam in penang. But what I had just now was goooooodddd. The ayam percik was nice. The sauce was not sweet, which is common in KL restaurants. But the best was the teh tarik ais!! Sedap gileee! Mcm kat mamak! :D

I didnt have a taste of Izzah's Mee bandung cos I was bz stuffing myself with Nasi kerabu but it definitely looked delicious. Pekat enough with generous praws. Her drink, Nusantara Ice Blended was weirdly interesting with jelly-like toppings. Sedap tuuu!

All in all, had an awesome time there, mainly because of Izzah but the food was just awesommeeeee. I wish I had bigger tummy for the kuih2 melayu which I L.O.V.E. But because we were so bz chit chatting, kenyang bersembang! hehe

Our bill totaled at RM 38 (and i added Teh O Ais too)

Las Vacas Madavacas!!

This entry is not based on 1st visit. In fact I've been coming here too damn often sampai lupa d to write it on ma blog. But it's not fair cos im not giving justice to the awesome food! People, if you are looking for the best, simple, humble steak, Las Vacas is the place babeh!!

There are varieties of steak, from grass fed stirloin to agnus to even wagyu and lambs. My fav will be chump chop. SEDAPP! the meat is well marinated and served with some salad with simple dressing and a piece of garlic bread. Enough talk..I'll let the pic do the talking.

by the time i got the camera, this was all i managed to capture

Black Agnus steak and Grass fed stirloin in the background

2 pcs of lamb shoulders. super delicioussss!

Apple pie with ice cream

a must try dessert! Sundae! Ice cream and chocolate mousse with surprises at the bottom! ;)

Outlet situated at:

No.23, Jalan SS 5A/11, Kelana Jaya
47301 Petaling Jaya, Selangor
Tel: 03 78740711 Fax: 03 78740655

Operating Hours: 10am - 10pm daily

There's a new outlet in Mont Kiara, next to Baskin Robbins. :)

Price wise, affordable for steaks la. Today's entry was based on 4 pax - an agnus steak, grass fed steak and 4 pcs of lamb shoulder, 2 sundaes and 1 apple pie...total at RM244..so that's around RM61 each. Not bad, huh? :D

So if you are a steak lover, you HAVE gotta try Las Vacas. Do call for reservation if you plan to go for dinner during the weekends.

Enjoy! Nyammmmmm!!

The best maggie ever!

So my siblings n dad been overselling this 'maggie papa' that is super nice in BM that i had to go n try it for myself.

A lil background, 'maggi papa' came about from ma dad's home cooked maghi recipe. It has dried prawns n squid n loads of onion n esp garlic. Not to b missed is da addt curry ppwder n egg on top of da reg maggie n u make it not to dry nor to soupy. Thats ma dad's maggi papa n we all loveee it. But ma dad hardly cook, so its difficult to get maggi papa when u want it unless u cook for urself.

So this maggie curry from nasi kandar desa is da next best alternative as they uses da same ingredieny n even more; tomatoes, green vege n cili padi!

So if u r a maggi lover, make sure to try when u r in bukit mertajam. Ull be amazed with what a simple dish can do to ur taste buds :)

Nachos nachos!

(pic taken from www.foodpoi.com cos i forgot to snap maself)

For the nachos lovers out there...you will loveeeeeeeeeeeeee this place. I used to rush to Chili's everytime i crave for nachos. But ive found an alternative..with a more affordable price tag too!

Welcome Nachos Nachos to my love-for-food-life! Situated at such strategic place in Giant Kota Damansara. You can find all kinds of nachos there.

I had mixed quesadillas and Aze had beef fajista. The quesadillas was awesomeeeeeeeeeeeee. The chicken and beef was just so damn tender. Aze's was nice too. But the beef was a lil over cooked. Maybe cos of the sizzling. So tip; if you order fajitas..make sure to tell em not to over-cook it ;)

However the guacamole is an expensive add on. RM 3 each! But worth it la. Both of our meals, plus 2 guacamole and 2 drinks came up to RM50+-. So roughly RM25 each. Not so bad eh? :D

If only the waiters were mexican... :p

Nyummy~

Vincenzo One Bangsar

So last 27th May we celebrated Aze's birthday at Vincenzo One Bangsar. We were given a private room for our so-called-party. Ofcourse I added some 'spices' to the dish; helim balloons! BEST! hehehe. 

Anyways, a highly recommended place for a special function/dinner with friends or fam. The outdoor sitting is beautiful and if u want a private one like us, you could just call up and make reservation.

Shafiq, Thana and myself reached earlier to set the place. Then the party-pooper-bday-gal came before the rest..30mins early! So since we were starving we ordered ma fav, escargot. NYUMMY!!

There were 7 of us. Mady and I ordered the same; moon-shape pizza..nyummy! but recommended for sharing. Shana ordered some salmon cream spaghetti. Very nice but very easy jelak. Shafiq had pesto. Aze and eeleng had aglio-olio look a like but with big prawns. Thana had hawaiian pizza.

The environment is top notch la. The food are nice but a lil pricey. There are menus of meals of up to RM800bucks each! CRAZY!!!

The Loaf - a must visit bistro!

I'm gonna start my post with rating

(1 lowest, 5 highest)

Food: 5

Portion: 5

Service: 4 (the staff's eng pronunciation needs to be improved)

Environment: 5 - private

Price: 5 (as in really high priced :P)

Value for money: 5!

I must say, this is ma new fav bistro. Not just 'cos of the food and the environment and what not, but just the whole experience! I first tried out The Loaf a few weeks back with Aze and Aini after our warehouse trip at Istana Hotel. We were blown awayyyy! How nice can an ice lemon tea be?? But the one at The Loaf really made me crave for more! Ish..

Anyways, decided to throw a special bday dinner for Eeleng's 25th, so the gals (and da 2 guys) gathered at The Loaf for dinner. Here's what we had..

Shafiq: Lamb Rack - a must try for lamb lovers. (the lamb smell is pretty strong tho)

Aze: Beef terderloin - Awesomely different..it has wasabe in the dressing!

Eeleng: Carbonara - nyumm!

Shana & Thana: Arabic Lamb Sandwich - highly recommended!

Mady & me: Salmon Steak  - recommended!

The portion is JUST NICE. So you can still opt for desserts afterwards. Try the cheese cups from U-hu-hu at Level 3 (still within The Loaf)..awesome!!!

All in all..we had a great time. I would definitely recommend this place. You guys have gotta try it! But make sure you have the cash to spend (esp on the steaks) ;)

Astaka Padang Brown..a must visit!

You have gotta try food from Astaka Padang Brown in Penang if you ever go up there. Orang penang panggil "padang berom"...derives from Brown Field next to the food garden.

The shops are only open for dinner. By 6+ you can visit. 1 row is just dedicated for Chinese, open from 5 onwards and the other row is dedicated for Halal food.

My all time fav will be the Char Hor Fun from Rina Special. It's located nearly at the end of the row. (btw you can order from anywhere and sit anywhere and your food will still reach you. :D)

The CNY break we went back to Penang, papa brought Shafiq, Aini and myself there to feed ma cravings. We had awesome Yong Tou Foo from Majid Celur-Celur, a must-try mee goreng mamak next to it ( YOU MUST TRY THIS!) and like I said ma-all-time-fav, char hor fun from Rina Special! The last time I had it was way back in high school...and it still taste the same! ALL OF IT!


Where Rina Special is located



Youve gotta try this char hor fun!



Find for that sign for the best cendol & ice kacang!

Yummy~!!!

These restaurants has been here since ma mom's generation. Another must try is the Cendol...from this chinese drink shop in the middle of the row. It's the only Chinese drnk shop in this bz row..with the sign reading "Ais Krim Campur Ais Kacang". SEDAP SIOT! the ais kacang also. :D memang evergreen. The father used to sell during ma mom's time, now the son selling. Dunno if the father still around. Back in highschool days he was.

So, make sure you visit Padang Brown the next time you head to Penang. It's located at Penang Road. Just ask anyone from Penang for direction. Just say "how to get to padang brom?" and you will get there. :D

Nyummy~

Rumahku...home to ma tummy!

If you guys are looking for good Malay food..this is the place! It's located at Plaza Kelana Jaya in Kelana Jaya (next to the lake). Rumahku serves all kind of food...from the lauk-pauk buffet (lunch hour only) and the fried stuff. But the MUST TRY is the Nasi Ayam Timble! It's similar to nasi ayam penyet except that the chicken is not penyet and the dishes are more! Even the price is more worth it!




Nasi Ayam Timble comes with white rice (wrapped in banana leaf), fried 1/4 chicken, sambal ikan bilis, 4 types of ulam (including petai!), sambal belacan, keropok and gulai daging nangka (sedapppp!)

It is served in a flat anyaman bakul..so if u need to bring a foreigner to try malay food that is not too spicy..this dish is perfect as the serving is appealing too. :D

Shafiq have tried the nasi goreng daging kicap and tomyam here...and they are both yummy too!

So for those who live in Kelana Jaya...make sure u try it out at Plaza Kelana Jaya, SS7 (new buildings) next to the lake. As for the rest, come down and try it..u will not regret. :D The restaurant is just next to the lake so the view is pretty calming. :)


Nyummy~

Kapitan, Penang...to die for!!

This is like a must visit restaurant for me now whenever i go back to Penang. I just loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the food! Especially the fluffy and soft naan and tandoori..and the awesome teh tarik...*drooling*!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ma fav Kapitan outlet will be the one next to Gurney Hotel at Gurney drive. There's another one in town, Chulia Street and another opposite Queensbay mall. But i love the one at Gurney cos of the atmosphere and the setting. So calming. :)

I went for 'tea' with Shafiq and Aini just now. How can we just sit there with teh tarik la?? (Aini can la..). I had ma usual garlic naan and tandoori..sedap nak mampus! Shafiq had butter cheese naan with 'mutton fry'; more like dry-curry like la, which was just juicy and tender...perfect lah!

tengok warna pun dah tau sedap!

shafiq's mutton

butter cheese naan

my garlic naan with the awesome juicy tandoori

U guys who LOVE indian food..should definitely visit Kapitan whenever you visit Penang. There are 3 branches so shouldnt be that difficult for you to try. But ma recommendation will be this outlet as the parking is much easier to find. :D

Make sure to visit Kapitan!!!

Nyumm~!

Alexis crappy!

Aze decided to get together with the gals (& shafiq) for a dress-up dinner, so we decided to eat out last Fri before shana and maself balik Penang for CNY. From Vincenzo we decided to go to Alexis in BSC, Bangsar instead (which was a hugeeeeeeeeeeeee mistake!).

The atmosphere was nice ofcourse. Not too fancy nor too casual. Suitable for us gals who dressed up; especially Shana! hahahaha. There are no jazzy performances in BSC's outlet except for in Ampang's. Told u Shana!

So we all ordered our food. Shana had to change her order twice cos they were out of what she wanted. Wth?? We ended up asking the waiter "y dont u tell us what is there. pls recommend". So he recommended this dish..gosh i have to ask shana for the name. It was wholemeal bread with tomato and eggplant! hahahaha. Aze had this pathetic duck coffit with loaddsss of leafs (looked like a meal for cow la..), Shafiq had aglio olio with lobster, Thana had mushroom & chicken pie and I had Nasi Istimewa Alexis, which were laughed at when I ordered. NOW WHO IS LAUGHING?? that was the only REAL meal that night! hahahahhahahaha

The only descent food around

Is this cow food or what..?

The aglio olio

Shana's pathetic meal!

The other descent food

this dessert is a must try! padova i think the name...

The food was just iuurrrghh man! Only ma meal and Thana's was ok. Shafiq's wasnt so bad but he totally didnt enjoy it. Thank God the dessert was nyummyy!

So ma suggestion, only go to Alexis for dessert and the jazz music (Ampang outlet). :P

Nyumm..NOT!

c h o c o l a t e ....

The one stop to chocolate heaven man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously cant describe it. It's just damn awesome!!! Aze, Shafiq and myself have always wanted to try it..so we did for lunch today. I had Quiche Lorraine with Spices, Shafiq had Cream Pepper Chicken Crepe and Aze had the sweet dish, Chocolate, Nuts, Biscuit Crumble & Sultana Crepe. Omg....each and every one of the dish was just awesome! On top of that we cream it up with Snow White Frappe, Fair Lady Frappe and Ms Cocca Mocha Frappe. 

Seriously chocolate lovers have GOT TO try this cafe!!!! The price range is not so bad either. It was RM 78+ for all that. :D (tq aze!)

c h o c o l a t e is located at 2nd flr new wing One Utama (opposite Maybank2u area).

Nyummmmmmmm~

Breakfast at Kris Sakti

This is like our fav restaurant for Malay breakfast. They serve from Nasi lemak to Roti Arab, all types of roti canai, lontong, nasi dagang, soto ayam (i loveeeee), roti jala, and many many many more lah!

So today I brought Aze there with Shafiq for breakfast. Both em had nasi lemak ayam with tempe goreng, begedel and Aze had additional fried egg. I had nasi dagang and shared a bowl of soto ayam with shafiq. Im not sure how great the nasi lemak was la. But looking at the clean empty plates I would say must have been good. The nasi dagang was not bad but Ive had better.

The Soto ayam is just my fav! Clear chicken soup with just enough ingredients of nasi impit, raw taugeh, begedel, daun bawang, bawang goreng and cili kicap! nyammmmmm!

I will recommend the roti arab, roti jala, lontong, roti canai and soto ayam ofcourse! :D

The price range is just average though. Our 4 dishes and drinks came up to RM25+

Anyways, the restaurant is in SS5. Will post the address soon :)

Nyumm~
