fat boys burger bar @ one city mall

i had a great experience the first time so when it came to buying daryl and the angster dinner, i chose this place. i had to buy them because they helped me majorly in my redesigning my room. it was such a fat day for myself. i wanted to rewardd myself fro my 15km run, but i think i overly rewarded myself. 

this time around, there was more staff and more customers. the guy taking our order was downright rude. daryl ordered the wimpy and he went like 'the wimpy what. what.' when i stared at him all confused he went 'pork? beef? what? what?'. i think they need to have more decent service. this was real bad. i hate to focus on service, because a foodie focuses on food, but there were just too many rude incidents that ruined my dining experience. 

the angster ordered the royale burger which was a beef patty, with onion marmalade, topped with cheddar and beef bacon. he said what the burger lacked in crisp of the outer layer of patty, the made up with the crisp of the bacon. so it was good. i ordered the portobello burger this time because they ran out of salmon patty. i thought the portobello was so-so only. i preferred kgb's portobello now i think about it. but the onion marmalade is top quality. i recommend adding that to your burger. 

this time round, tried the thick chocolate shake, with peanut butter. gosh trust me, one sip and u feel like this is so sinful.

final run of the year-to wrap up the year-the newton challenge 2013. i would say my timing could have been better. had a stitch whilst running, and my ankle started hurting at the 7km point. the official timings aren't out yet, but hopefully i managed within 1h30 minutes. 

anyways, after the run, went for bfast no2-to reward ourselves. i dont know who suggested the redbeanbag, but we quickly agreed upon it. me and ka have been hearing much about this place, we just nodded in agreement upon the mention of the name. we got seated in a pretty neat area-cosy and nice to just chill out. 

their menu is named-the dark side or the light side. obviously went for the dark side. light, well was too light. we felt like we deserved a good meal. though i was quite tempted to order the orange yoghurt with muesli oats thingy on the light side of the menu. 

 ka settled for a freshly brewed tea with peach puree and passionfruit. whilst i went for something more sinful-iced chocolate. ka's drink was refreshing. whilst mine was a thick iced chocolate. look at the amount of chocolate. hany on the other hand went for a cocktail-a watermelonh lychee kinda cocktail-which they said-the hills was better. 

 as for the food, i had the atlantic, which is basically eggs bennedict but with smoked salmon instead of bacon. this came with a frenchtoast instead of a toast. i personlly liked the edges of the french toast. and i liked that there were mushrooms. it was good but personally i preferred antipodean. antipodeans wholegrain bread sucks up the yolk better. ka had the same thing as i did. joyce ordered the one below. a poached egg, with chorizos on a wholegrain toast. the toast looked pretty yummy. hany ordered the grilled salmon on potato rosti with a poached egg seated on top. that looked bloody amazing. definitely on my to try list the next time i visit. tianyi had the classic eggs benedict whereas chin had joe's burger. 

 look at those runny egg yolks. oozing out.

fresco @ empire subang

located inside jaya grocer in empire, is this little gemstone called el cerdo. i absolutely love this restaurant. so, had my christmas dinner here. 

incidentally, i got my number for my table. yes my number is 28=]

 ordered a lemon lime bitter. felt like having something ahh, and though this fit the ahh i was looking for. 

 for the starter had this wild mushoom soup. was okay, of standard but i guess i really liked the main so much that this just faded in the background. 

 i had a 300g salmon with roasted potatoes, cauliflowers, carrots and brocolli. the fish was cooked to perfection. pink in the middle, each piece flaking. this is the best place for salmon in malaysia, consistently cooking their salmon to perfection. i've tried plentiful of places-delicious, tgi, they tend to always overcook their salmon, which bothers me alot. such a good fish gone to waste. the skin was crisped to perfection. so good. too good. 

 angster had pasta with beefbacon. i tried the pasta, but i preferred wondermilks tomato base. this one is alot stronger in tomato flavour. he said it was okay though. but he has his eyes set on the tenderloin the next time we visit this place, which will very likely be tonight. 

this place, i highly recommend. one of the best out there.

wondermilk @citta mall

i'm so into wondermilk, but i'm different. i'm into the food not the cupcakes. well i tried the 12 bucks chocolate cake and it was real bad so i decided to stay away from the sweets and stick to the savouries. 

this time round, decided to try the flavoured milk. i went for butterscotch. the flavour is pretty mild and you get the aftertaste of the butterscotch lingering on your taste buds after a second or 2. its not bad but a little too small. 

 my favourite sandwich so far. the cheesy mushroom melt sandwich with potato salad. i guess i like o briens too, i mean they are both overpriced sandwiches but this i relaly love the flavour of the mushrooms and the toasted bread and the cheese. this is just magnificent-0. 

 oh and the pasta-pesto pasta was too good. its basically pasta with all the roasted veges like peppers. i loved this dish. they used plentiful of oilve oil. i loved the pasta, i loved the taste i loved the roasted vege. i'm not so much a big fan of pasta, but the 2 that i've liked so far is definitely aglio olio from upstairs cafe and this. really really good. 

the angster told me a few days ago, if you continue eating like this, i'm not sure how you're going to look like in a few weeks haha. 

this place is really worth a visit. its really that good. click for my previous visit to wondermilk.

beyond veggie @ taipan

i like vegetarian food , well i like vege in general, and i'm not so a fan of very meaty food, so i guess i could say i quite like vegetarian food. so i mean, i had to try this place, beyond veggie by secret recipe. i've heard mixed reviews about this place. yen's parents hate this place, some friends think its okay, and some likes the concept of the place. well i mean i liked the concept-the supposedly vegetarian cakes (without eggs) and food-but then again there were mostly cheesecakes which does not usually have eggs in them anyways. 

so this dish is called golden mushrooms-the sauce was really good i must say. it was very rich and flavourful but the mushrooms were a disappointment. a major disappointment i must say.they coat the mushroom with flour but with too much flour.as u can see, in the picture, the mushtoom is round,, and mushrooms aren't round in general. that's how much excess flour there was. however, i liked the use of curry leaves and cili padis in the sauce. i even accidentally bit into the cilipadi and immediately felt my throat burn up. 

i also ordered this specialty dish of theirs which is pumpkin tofu with yam. so its basically like pork with yam slices, in chinese they call it kou rou but in place of the pork is the pumpkin tofu. because i finished this whole dish by myself, i was super stuffed with the yam. the pumpkin tofu was really good and special. i liked both taste and texture. but i must say its a pretty pricey dish. 24 bucks for a few pieces of tofu and yam.even the pork version is not as exp as this. 

i also ordered a plate of mee sua to eat with the sauce. they flavoured the mee sua with olive oil. so you could literally slurp down the noodles just like that. 

 to finish the meal off, had this ricotta cheesecake. i didn't like the tiop layer of the cream, but the cheese for perfection. every bite was heaven. i'd go back for this cake, any day. 

i would say food is okay not too bad. its normal restaurant food, like manhatten or secret recipe itself. nothing to wow, except the cake.

organic vegetarian restaurant @ ss18

the angster was not feeling well, hence we wanted to go somewhere light and healthy for lunch. i chose this vegetarian shop because the angster wanted something vege or fruity or porridge. i wasn't too keen on teocheow porridge so, here we were. 

the angster ordered a bowl of braised bittergourd noodle soup. he chose mee hoon. indeed they vege helping was very generous, so were the noodles but i thought that the soup was heavily flavoured with sesame oil, and too oily for my liking. a supposed light meal, turned into a heavy meal. 

i, have myself to blame for not having a light meal. i ordered curry noodles. wad-a-joke right, coming from someone who wanted to have something not too heavy. i chose these black noodles, which i was hoping would have the texture of meehoonkuey but unfortunately it did not. but the curry was spicy, in a good way. i also ordered a popiah which i thought wasn't very good. 

i wanted to have the zhapfan but i don't know why they ddin't serve that day. it was a monday by the way and i went at about 1130am. tad bit disappointed. 

i guess its one of the very few places to have vegetarian in subang area. the other place i know is sunway's simple life which i think is average. i guess its quite difficult to make organic vegetarian stand out. oh wait there's a new vegetarian shop in town, beyond veggie. stay tuned for that.

fat boys burger bar @ one city mall

one city mall is a new mall around usj area. it is an upcoming mall and i quite like the area. i just think it needs like a goof coffee wifi place to sit and chill, then, perfecto. 

today i went to try out fat boys burger bar. i've been quite wanting to check this place out. but i've always felt that the outlet in publika is pretty far. appaarently according to hany, there is an outlet in ara damansara as well. but that's besides the point. 

hany just got back from sg. initially wanted to catch a movie after dinner, but we just ended up talking and catching up at fat boys. so we were both [pretty full. he had dinner at 4pm and myself, i had way too much keropok and chocolates and biscuits at home. yah, it was a super unhealthy day for me. i was learning coding, and all of a sudden i was like, gosh the bag of crisp finished. and that was after my cake, my grapes, my biscuits and my chocolates. not good. 

solution- we settled for a bunless burger. basically you can customize your own burger. personally i was very intrigued by the salmon patty. normally when u go places, salmon will be like a salmon steak instead of a patty that is why i settled for salmon patty. i also chose an egg to go with my patty. on the sides i ordered guacamole and onion marmalade. i was so tempted to order mine with emanthel cheese and mango chutney and grilled bananas and have peanut butter but, i thought that was too weird a concoction.  they came served with fries. the patty was good. something special in a good way. the onion marmalade was top notch. the whole meal, i enjoyed alot. the fries were so-so. nothing great but not bad. the salmon patty was rm14, guacamole at rm3 and onion marmalade at rm2, and the egg at i dont remember. 

hany had the pork patty, with a grilled pineapple. on top. he has jalapenos and curry sauce to go with his burger. he liked it. i thought the pork patty was a tad bit to the dry side but it could be just the slice that i ate. i didn't get the juicy feeling i did with burgertory. but hany said his was good. and he has had burgertory which he doesn't quite fancy if i remember correctly. meet hany. 

he ordered this drink called the tarzan , 8 bucsks. which was pretty good. i had the standard iced-lemon tea. 6 bucks. tarzan is basically ginger beer, strawberry syrup and something else. it was nice regretted for changing my drink to iced-lemon tea last minute. i was tempted to order the thick chocolate milkshake, but i felt guilty after todays morning junk eating. so i decided against. maybe next time. 

daryl and darren also came to join some time after. they ordered the fat bastard and the wimpy. all i heard was 'this is so good' so i guess that sums it up. wimpy is half of fat bastard and fat bastard is a double patty, egg, cheddar cheese, and fat boys bbq sauce burger. 

i would come back for the burgers.

delicious @sunway pyramid

yes, i've been on a pretty long hiatus. i have been busy with some stuffs and was in vietnam for a week. not that i did not have internet in vietnam, but, i was more out and about sightseeing than staying in my hotel room. so one of the mondays, took my sister to delicious for tea. we had cakes. i was tempted to order the wrap in addition, but i thought with my upcoming vietnam trip (thankfully i decided against because i had lost in vietnam and after vietnam-i came back and had brownies and mudpie and everything cheese), i shouldn't. 

i settled for the apple peach crumble pie, whilst the sister ordered the gula melaka cake. we were both wanting to try something different, hence i didn't go for the normal brownies or banoffee pie and she didn't go for her normal red velvet cake. i think we should have gone for the more normal ones because, i think it can be quite difficult to get brownies with ice cream wrong. 

apple peach crumble pie. about 13 bucks if i remembered correctly. the crust of the pie was too thick. the filling was normal, pretty standard and the crumble was not curumbly enough for me. the ice-cream was normal standard vanilla. nothing to shout about. 

sister had the affogato. she's an avid coffee drinker for a 12 year old. she liked this though. but then again, it think this is pretty difficult to get wrong. normal ice-cream, good quality roaasted beans, and there you go. not much skill involved. 

maybe because i'm not a fan of gula melaka, so i didn't like this cake. but then again, i think the icing was over beaten, turning the icing to butter so it was pretty disgusting to eat. not worth the price i paid for. this was so bad. too bad in fact. 

look at the kid sister. she's a doll. i guess i'll go for the main meals and the more normal desserts next time.

poco homemade @ bangsar

when someone tells me bangsar, i automatically assume-jalan telawi area which if you are not familar is the bangsar village area. poco however is located on lorong kurau, not really a walk-able distance from jalan telawi, be it 1, 2 or 3. this place, doesn't really look like a cafe. it's pretty quaint on its own, a little awkward. 

famous for their cakes-i chose to try their green tea mousse chocolate cake and their signature tofu cake. i wanted to buy like 6 slices, but i was hitting midvalley for 5 hours and the lady said the cake could only last 30 minutes outside the fridge-so sigh. 

the greentea mousse, was too creamy a texture for me. its not that its not good, its just i'm awkward and weird in the sense i don't like creamy cakes. so this wasn't my thing. it cost 13 bucks a slice. 

now, this tofu cake, 9 bucks, was the bomb. not sweet, texture perfect, aroma right, ticked all the right boxes. i have to say i had high expectations, and u are usually disappointed when you have high expectations, but to my surprise, this was really yummy. next time i go, i'm buying the whole cake-and i am not joking.

leung kee wan tan mee @ taipan

located right opposite the car park lot, this place serves the best wan tan mee. i keep telling everyone this place is famous, and they ask why, i go 'erm, famous in my family'. this place serves all things wan tan noodles, from char siew wan tan noodles, to curry chicken wan tan noodles, to chicken feet mushroom wan tan noodles to pure wan tan noodles. the pride on their own homemade noodles as well. 

what i love most about this shop are their dumplings/sui gaus. they are amazing. the skin, is so thin, and their filling, is filled to the very edge of the dumpling skin, giving you a very satisfied mouthful when you bite into it. in terms of skin, here is better, but in terms of filling, chilli pan mee wins. but each has its own plus point. 5.90 for 5 dumplings. 

i was feeling hungry. so i ordered a bowl of dumplings, and also a wan tan noodles with curry sauce splashed. i ordered a small one which was one serving of noodles. the medium one is one and a half whereas the large one is 2 servings. 

daryl went with me and he ordered the large serving. look at the amount of wan tans he got. i got 3 only i think. but i was okay, because i had the sui gaus too. 

look at them sui gaus. i know they don't look absolutely amazing. but trust me when i say, these are melissa endoresed.

wondermilk @ citta mall

so finally met up with yen again. have not seen her for more than a week. so was good meeting up with her. she took me to citta mall, a place where i've heard much about, but have not been. she also took me to oasis, so now i know where it is and can go there for my food hunts. 

we went after dinner so i cannot stress more than ever that this was supper. i went to delicious with my sister a few days back, and have been craving wraps or toasties ever since. wondermilk is known for their cupcakes, but i was super tempted by the toasties. i settled on the chocolatae cake, costing 12 bucks. i thought it was a tad bit pricey for a piece of cake which was really really bad. the cake was dry. the almond wafer was weird. and the chocolate was like fake chocolate. the cupcakes on the other hand were mini. really extremely small. i however liked their coolers. i tried their lime mint cooler which was good. they are known for their flavoured milk, but i wanted something refreshing. 

i went there, expecting good sweet treats, but i was impressed by the savoury treats instead. i had this toastie, which was a mushroom cheese sandwich. the mushrooms were so juicy and was pure perfection. the potato salad was not bad as well. 

the foodie will feel guilty every once in awhile. yes. i felt so guilty having this for supper. but well. i have bootcamp today. so hopefully its not too bad. 

i'm going to malacca on friday for a foodie weekend. not going to be good at all.

antipodean @ tan and tan building

i know i've been a little mia. it's not that i've stopped eating. in fact i've been eating at a higher rate than before. i just didn't have the time to document all my foodie moments yet. been busy. got back from penang. work stuffs to do. trips to plan-yes i'll be gone again. but no fear, i'll update every once in awhile. 

there's one too many brunch places in town these days, yet i've heard, antipodean tops them all. i'm such a sucker for poached eggs and hashbrowns and everything english breakfasts that i could not miss this. visited this cosy place with pau and hany. thing is we came on a weekday lunch. and our problem was-parking. we had to park at a nearby petrol station just to makan here. the car park in the building itself was full. 

i ordered a glass of apple juice with mint. people would go for coffee, but i do not know how to appreciate coffee. i'm the starbucks frap kind of person. not the long black kind or even the flat white kind. 

priced at about 20 over ringgit, i had the eggs Marlborough. its basically eggs Benedict but with smoked salmon in place of bacon. like this place beats nutmeg hands down. the bread was so textural, it was so yummy. the smoked salmon was good and they were generous with the helping. the eggs were perfectly poached such that when the yolk oozed out, the bread soaked up all the yolk messiness and the spinach just added the freshness it needed. 

this place is so good. it tops my list so far. can't wait to bring the angster here to try this out.

hutong food court @ lot 10

i know being a foodie and all, its going to be very difficult to believe that. i've actually not been to the famous food court in lot 10. yeps this is my first. for those ignorant, this food court supposedly brings all the famous food around pj and kl, to one location for your convenience and comfort. i was pretty egg-cited to try out this place, like finally. 

being a huge fan of popiah, i had to try the campbell popiah. i ordered the normal mini popiah and the vegetable wrapped popiah. but unfortunately, to my disappointment. when they said mini, i really did not expect that mini. and taste wise, it wasn't amazing. i thought there would be more type of ingredients but there was only the normal mengkuang. it costs 3,50 for a mini popiah. too expensive for such a small popiah. 

i also tried the ice kacang. which i thought was okay. i didn't like the heavy coconut milk taste but then again its because i do not like coconut milk. but i did like the salted peanuts though. 

attracted by the looks, the que and i just felt like having noodles, i ordered this hokkien noodles, meehoon in replacement of noodles. they used plentiful of lard, making this dish very yummy. a very large portion in comparison with the angsters duck rice which looked too little for a meal. 10 ringgit, but worth every penny. something i would order again. very very good. 

this steam pork with prawn paste, was so bad. 9 bucks gone to waste. its just bad. do not order this man. too little pork. taste wise, not good at all. utterly disappointed. 

also, i went to john king in pavillion. i love the durian egg tarts there but todya i decided to try their portugese egg tart. 2.50 a piece the custard was really good. however, the crust, was not good. 

it was such a foodie day for me. like super guilt tripped because i'm supposed to be eating healthy and everything because i have a run this weekend, actually tomorrow morning at 2am. oh wells. hopefully all still goes well. i'll be in penang for abit. so penang food will be up next.
