asam pedas power

one fine Friday afternoon, I called nana out to lunch...  oh i'm gonna cut the crap. there's this shabby cafe that sells the softest sugar coated donuts, and really good asam pedas. we've been there a few times, and the asam pedas set seems to be a favorite among its regulars.

the restaurant is Ju's Cafe and Cake House. It's located near Mydin Kota Seriemas. at the junction in front of Mydin and the entrance to Kota Seriemas, turn left. There's a pink single storey building on the left about 100 meters from Mydin. there's no allocated parking lot, but feel free to find your own near the roadside.

the cafe

if you think that it's hot inside the cafe.. well you're wrong. it's really cool and airy inside. they can seat at most maybe around 20-25 people. since there aren't many waiters/waitresses you'd really have to wait for them to come to you. but then i only go there on Friday. hehe :) 

ok.. so on the menu there's chicken rice, chicken porridge, asam pedas (set), curry noodles. there are two shop lots in this building. one is the cafe itself, and the other is a cake house. but since the cake house is like hidup segan mati tak mau they put the donuts outside at the cafe. hehe.. but the donuts is soo good. it's so soft and fluffly. it's the best donut ever. 

just looking at it makes my mouth waters hehe :) yummy

the asam pedas set consists of a plate of rice with salted fish and some ulam and a serving of asam pedas. the fish you can usually choose between tenggiri, kembung and pari. i normally take kembung. i don't eat pari. hehe :) so that plate costs like RM8.50.

kuah is so good. the sambal belacan is quite pedas tho.. so careful :)

the curry noodles is not bad either. plenty of isi and the curry has nice consistency. not too thick.. not too thin.. what's weird is that they serve chicken uncut and still with the bone. kinda hard to eat heheeh.. but i like it that they have plenty of tofu and fish cakes and such... lovely.

curry noodles... gotta have it 

our favorite drink from this cafe would have to be apple asam boi. it's just perfect for a hot day.. :) but then that's the only drink i ever ordered from this cafe pun kekeke.. they also have lei chi kang. it looks really good.. but haven't tried. maybe next time i'm there ;) 

quench your thirst

so a lunch like this.. for two including the donuts for desserts hehe.. would typically cost us about 20 bucks. which is not bad.. considering the portion is quite big and they taste really good :)

i don't have the address.. but it's not hard to find. if can't find it, there are a few restaurants/cafe nearby hehe ;) 

Auntie Aini's Garden Cafe

friday afternoon.. what's a girl to do when she has a 2 hour break? eat of course! heehe.. nana showed me the way to Auntie Aini's Garden Cafe. Located on Jalan Sepang, it's not easy to miss as there are many cars parked at the curb near the cafe. The owner, Auntie Aini is extremely friendly. She meets and greets all her customers as if entertaining guests in a party. She recognizes her regulars, and treats everyone like family. She herself took our orders and according to Nana, she cooks the masak lemak herself. I guess to preserve the Nogori style.

the balinese influence is so apparent in this cozy restaurant. it welcomes smokers. every table has its own ash tray. the furnitures are a mix though.. the main area of the restaurant uses some old kopitiam style furnitures... while there is a small hut with teak table.. no chairs. you'll be sitting on the floor.. somewhat japanese there. there's a small pond, with carps which gave the place a zen feeling to it. perhaps it's the weather, or maybe the pond next to our table, it was cool despite the open air concept.

the carp pond. zen :)

there are two types of menus you can find at Auntie Aini's Garden Cafe. the Malay menu and the Western menu. nana has been here a couple of times before and when she mentioned that the cafe actually has masak lemak cili padi in the menu while we were driving, i almost jumped with joy. when i opened the menu, there it was - daging salai masak lemak cili padi. i first had a taste of this dish when poji got married about 10 years ago. it has to have a good mixture of spices, and the heat of the cili padi and the creamy santan should just be perfect. While Auntie Aini's masak lemak cili padi was not as hot as the original, it was just right for my tastebuds and stomach. I also ordered kailan stir fry.. it was cooked with soy sauce and i think a little bit of sesame oil which i don't fancy much, but they used fresh young kales which was to my liking. it's not as bitter as the normal kale and you don't have to cook as long. so it's still has some crunch to it. nana had the shepherd's pie which was baked to perfection. i had a taste also.. of course. and it was delicious! the meat was stewed and not cooked with tomato sauce (i don't understand why some people use tomato sauce to cook the meat in shepherd's pie. but i guess it's up to the individual la kan?) yeay! nana and i finished everything even though both of us thought the portion was huge. hehe go figure :p

our selections :) 

as it was still early.. and i was still recovering from the heaty cili padi in the masak lemak, nana and i decided to go for the desserts. i was a bit disappointed seeing the desserts menu though. i thought they should add more to it. currently there are only three desserts on the menu - tapai, tapai with ice cream (no fair.. it's still tapai :p) and fresh local fruits. i don't really know how to eat tapai. i thought it tastes weird. so i chose the local fruits. and nana got herself tapai with ice cream. i also ordered white coffee.. perfect end to a lovely lunch.

Auntie Aini left us to have our "main course" and joined us again when we had our desserts for a lovely chat.. ok la more like gossips. she's quite a chatterbox and she is friendly. so it didn't take me long to open up to her. and one of her daughters is a malaysian actress.. quite famous gak la .. but am not telling who lah :p i saw her making her way from one table to another chatting with the customers.. while we were talking, Auntie even mentioned that the customer from the next table has come to Auntie's restaurant since before she was married. and now that customer of hers has 3 kids. it's been 8 years since Auntie Aini first opened the restaurant. she even had some famous international chefs cook in her kitchen.. i'll let her tell that story to you.

so if you'd like to visit this restaurant.. here are the details you'd need:

Nando's Jaya One, PJ

I am a big fan of Nando's peri-peri chicken and peri-peri sauce. So when Jas wanted to have our first business meeting there.. I was in! She posted photos of the restaurant's interior design. I thought the interior decor was fabulous. I have to admit, they don't have enough lights..Quite dark. but since it's quiet, and not many people frequent the restaurant, it's the perfect place to have our first business meeting.

It's peaceful indeed. cakap kuat sikit semua dengar kekeke :p the best part is, they've got free wifi! yummy! eh i mean.. best gilee...

unfortunately, when i was there.. we were served by a garang waitress.. gila babs garang. she won't make any eye contact. muka masam. didn't smile at all. the table we chose did not have any forks or spoons on the table (ok la our bad.. ) but she didn't even care to get them for us! we had to literally get up and picked them up from the neighboring table. hampeh. no tips for you young lady! she was a bit rude when she took our orders. hey, we didn't expect to be treated like royalty. but at least show us respect and provide the best customer service. that is.. your line of work.

as i was quite full (yeah right! :p) from breakfast, i opted for the angry mango burger. hehe.. marah kat awek tu punye pasal gagagagaga... :p i also ordered an additional side dish of beans and banana cake for desserts..

yeahhh bebeh.. nando's always puts me in the mood for chicken ;) 

although ordering my main course was not a pleasant experience, another waiter, was kind enough to smile when he took our orders for desserts. he was even kind enough to ask if we needed anything else.. and was patient enough to wait for us to decide who's gonna get the mud pie this time. i opted for banana cake instead of mudpie.. for the fiber. hehe :) he was also understanding enough to know when to pour our bottomless diet coke (jas's) and iced lemon tea (mine) without having us calling for him every time. i forgot to ask his name, but look for the cute looking waiter there. hehe ;)

Penang Village, Alamanda Putrajaya

not so long ago, nana, jon and i went to Penang Village in Alamanda for lunch. kitorang baru balik dari Putrajaya Hot Air Balloon carnival.. so we were hungry and hot. and we decided to have early lunch at Alamanda hehe.. nak aircond.
the restaurant is located outside on second floor. near bayou. they serve local Malay and Nyonya and also Chinese cuisines. they had pai tee.. which reminds me of my opah chik. during hari raya she always made pai tee.. we called it popai back then. mama said it's because it's like popia but terbalik. so that's why it's called popai. hehe :)
they have many branches all around KL, 1 in Sabah, and also several in Indonesia - Taman Tun, Hartamas, Alamanda, Berjaya Times Square, IOI Mall Puchong.
they have funnily named drinks.. concoction of different fruits and vegetables to make refreshing drinks.. i had jungle book - i think it had mint + lemon + apple.. it's yummy and also refreshing. perfect for us after the whole morning under the sun.

Jungle Book

Honey Lemon drink for Nana

for appetizers, we ordered pai tee and also wonton.. which were delicious! the wontons were small and crunchy just the way i like it..hehe :) suke mak..

Fried Wontons

Pai Tee

my main course was tom yum fried rice. they serve it with kerabu mangga yang sangaaaattt sedap. and keropok. i don't think it's chinese.. or nyonya. tak kisah la yang penting sedap. hehe..

Kerabu Mangga (Mango Salad)- is this nyonya?

the Kerabu Mangga accompanies Tom Yum Fried Rice.. ok don't tell me this is Nyonya.. :P but they taste gooooooooddd..:)

then nana and jon decided to have desserts.. ermm i was supposed to be on diet. tapi ermm what the heck. i wanted one also lah.

the green tea ice cream with red beans. this one's really nice. jon had this one.. i think

nana's desserts sago gula melaka. i'd feel guilty ordering this coz mama makes the best sago. hehe :P sorry ek penang village :)

ABC special. i know.. too chef like kan? mm.. i think luckily got icecream otherwise i wouldn't eat it. hehe :P

price wise.. not so bad. considering the ambient, the service, the food presentation. some people who have eaten here before said the service was slow. but ermm.. it's ok, i guess. i didn't notice them being slow. i remembered it to be a good place to eat.. the food was excellent. mm i shud'v brought mama here. maybe on my birthday i'll give mama a treat kat sini .. she'd love it. :)

Restaurant Mak Yah in Bangkok wuu huu

we go international again in Bangkok pulak.. I just realized I haven't posted anything for such a long time now.. haha.. almost a year without any real posts.. so tonite let's start writing.. :)

Restaurant Mak Yah is located near the Ratchathewi station. Exit toward Thanon Phetchaburi (use exit on left side) then you'll go downstairs by 7-11. across the intersection go straight - turn left and go down about 3 mins walk and it will be right there. it's also near the mosque so it's kinda convenient to pray and all..

it's clean, the staff are friendly and helpful, there's even a concerned nenek watching us just in case we need anything. unfortunately she doesn't speak anything but Thai. but we appreciate it anyways :) we love the food served soooo much so we went there for our birthday celebration :)

it's hard to find, even with the directions given all over the internet. but we're lucky we saw a muslim lady (she was wearing tudung). she didn't speak english but once we mentioned the name Mak Yah, she was like.. ohhh Mak Yah.. and she actually showed us the restaurant. haha. :) very helpful la Bangkok people ni. i love it..

they serve Malay-Pattani food.. basically what you can find here la kot.. but the taste.. alahaii.. excellente lah.. teringat the thai restaurant elly and i went to in florida.. near key largo. damn jumping squids.. anyways, the food here is kinda spicy.. but thai food has always been spicy la kan?

i love the mango kerabu, and also there's a dish called Thai fish cake. hehe.. suka wehh... the fish tho not so fresh, but was delicious and the Thai spices helped as much :)

so go to Bangkok and try it lah :)

read more about my trip to Bangkok here.. :)

Mak Yah's address: 497/16 Petchburi Road, Rajthevi, Bangkok, Thailand 10400

my first post after a long time.. we go vietnam!

salam,

lama sudah tak menulis sini. i had some photos and review about makan2 place in Ho Chi Minh city in Vietnam. Went there in February with who else? normi la.. :)

anyway, we were there for 4d3n. because the trip was really short, we could only try 3 restaurants.. :( alas the restaurants were not disappointments... we had good food :)

Vn Halal

Location: 14 Pham Hong Thai, P. Ben Thanh, in District 1

We frequented this restaurant more than the others because it's really near to our hotel. We stayed at Saigon Pink 2 Hotel, which was 5 minutes away. so it really doesn't make sense if we go all the way to other restaurants just to have a bite to eat.

Despite what I hear from others, I like the food here. It's expensive but then all halal outlets overseas are expensive. I didn't try the Malaysian food they offered. I think Normi did.. she tried the fried rice.. I finally had the Vietnamese famous dish called Phở and it's delicious! They put all kinds of ulam in it and i wasn't even sure what they were hehe...

Also had their iced coffee and it's soooo good.. i now regret not making time to get some coffee from benh tanh market :(



seafood soup and the beef Phở and also coffee are must haves.. :)

Halal@Saigon

Location: 31 Dong Du, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, (opposite mosque)

This outlet is actually owned by a Malaysian lady who's a pharmacist. So if you can't live without your asam pedas ikan pari, by all means go here. It's a much more comfortable restaurant, the decorations are prettier and price about the same but their serving size is smaller. It's nice coz when we're there the waiter couldn't stop talking in Malay. Yup.. he's Vietnamese but he worked in Perak for such a long time I guess he just speaks in Malay whenever there are Malaysian guests .. hehe...

I tried the beef Phở again. I know.. I can't stop. they taste soooo good. I wish I know how to make 'em.. and also the ever so popular Vietnamese spring rolls. They're different from Malaysian spring rolls or the chinese egg rolls... Inside the spring rolls there's chicken, the ulam and also get this.. bihun hehe :) nice. eaten with peanut sauce (kuah satay) .. it's perfection!

Restaurant at the Mosque

Location: the Jemia mosque /Central Mosque (Ground floor) - opposite Halal@Saigon

The Indian Jamia Mosque, built in 1935, is one of the largest and most prominent places of worship in town, and surrounding it are a concentration of halal eateries, including the well-known curry restaurant on the grounds of the mosque itself (profiled in last July’s AsiaLIFE).

"http://www.vietnewsonline.vn/News/Lifestyle/Eat-Drink/6163/Vietnamese--Food-Goes-Halal.htm"

Ok I didn't know when I went there. Izwar told us to go there.. and we did. and we're not disappointed. The food was heavenly. I like the way Izwar described the food,"Indian food but it tastes like your mum cooks it". and he's sooooo right. we missed home as soon as we're done. luckily it's our last day there.. so no worries. hehe

there i hope these will be much help to you finding halal food in saigon. i hope to go again and go to other restaurants pulak..

dah lama tak update kan? sebenar nya ada pegi makan2 kat luar.. during lunch hour. tapi entah lah, sekarang malas nak ambil gambar time makan. insya Allah akan merajinkan diri hehe :D

Secret Recipe: New On the Menu

No secret that I just adore Secret Recipe. Only 2 postings ago, and I am already on it again. But this time it's good because they have just introduced a new recipe! It is called the "Stewed Aussie's Beef Steak".. darn it, the name made my mouth waters.. hehee..
i didn't bring my camera. only had my camera phone. i didn't even intend to eat here. i had a sweet tooth and longed for some cheese cake. mm.. then i saw the new menu. and the rest is history.

went to the one in Putrajaya Precint 14.

The stewed steak was tender, and the gravy was just great. it didn't have as much black pepper which other steak joints usually have, just the way i like it. i can't stand black pepper. it's a perfect dinner. i just wish i didn't get the pepsi light. should have gone for my usual apple green drink instead. i had dinner alone, but then it's a small restaurant. and i didn't really feel alone. plus i had facebook mobile with me the whole time (read: LOSER! kekeke) all in all it was a joyful experience.. hmm :P the only other complain i had would probably be the veges that came with the stewed steak.. they had the snap peas on the photo in the menu.. and they only gave carrots and cauliflowers in my plate. :( pentipusss..



i was too shy to eat the cheesecake there so i took it home with me. raspberry cheesecake. perfect way to end my dinner :D

Ani Sup Utara, Putrajaya

it's been 3 months! well i've been taking photos but not of food :( haven't been eating out lately because i haven't been eating at nice places.. and when I finally do, mm.. i forgot to take them photos huhuhu..

anyway, sesuai with ramadan, it's food time.

went to this restaurant called Ani Sup Utara. I know there's a branch at Shah Alam.. not sure if there are other branches. The place looked really nice. first went there to have some soup because I've been coughing like mad.. the second time I was there I went to my family for my mum's birthday. ye la i know.. cheap.. but mum is not much of an eater.. and it's really late afternoon. She likes nice ambient and doesn't appreciate heavy traffic. I immediately thought of Ani Sup Utara.. It's a bit hot, but soup was nice and simple and I'm sure mama doesn't mind, however much she complained.

the soup was decent though a bit pricey.. i guess the aircond yang menghala ke staff tu mahal kot.. service was fast. but the third time i was there, with kak ina and kak ida, they overcharged our drinks. hampeh. but kak ina dah mintak duit balik.. there was a bar inside the restaurant, dunno what was the purpose. coz the kitchen was at the back. there were too little seats.. so we had to wait twice i was there. i prefer to go at night coz we get to sit outside the restaurant and enjoy the breeze.. much more romantic eating out. :)

they serve, mostly soup.. some combos with rice, and telur masin. mama thought they should have given the customers a choice of ikan asin with telur asin. i don't care coz i love both, but mama was right. not everyone eats telur asin. soto and nasi ayam are also in the menu. food wise.. memang sedap.. cuma tak cukup la.. hahaha

anyway, here are some photos..

Secret Recipe..

i love eating at secret recipe, period. it has a nice ambient, a long menu of delicious food and i love the apple kasturi. yummy. the green concoction of apple juice and lime juice plus the asam boi.. oh la la.. i'm in heaven. i just had some on saturday with dr. mojo jojo. thank you, dear :) muahhsss... but i didn't take any photos then. i took some photos when jon, nana and i went out on a sunny sunday to get my SB600 and we had a late lunch at secret recipe amcorp mall.

nana ordered the fish and chips, jon ordered the tiny burgers while i ordered the chicken lasagna(it was on sale and i've used up my April's pay for the stupid flash). nana also ordered the carrot cake.. and it was delicious. i love the creamy cream cheese topping, and the cake is moist, unlike the one at starbucks. seriously, the one i had at starbucks KK was terrible and really dry :(

that green stuff behind the carrot cake is the apple kasturi. mm.. yummy.. could wake you up in a second, can ask dr. mojo jojo about it. unfortunately i didn't have a camera with me when i had lunch with him, his expression was priceless.. hahahaha..
sorry dear ;)

jon ordered the kid's burger. ok first, there are 4 tiny burgers.. cute little burgers. i actually had this for lunch with dr. mojo jojo and i thought that this is too much for a kid. perhaps this meal was meant to be shared. at first i thought that the burgers would be dry. but they were not. i love the meat patties. 4 tiny burgers are more than enough. especially when coupled with the fries. the fries, i did not fancy. i personally thought, and dr. mojo jojo agreed, that the fries had too much butter, and it felt like eating the mashed potato with too much butter. i wish it were more potatoey. :P the ketchup i love.. it tastes better than burger king's ketchup. kekeke.. oh, and what's with the thick cut of cucumber with the burgers? kids could choke to death tau with cucumber that size!

i had chosen this when i was out with the girls. and the lasagna was really good. at first glance i thought the mozza cheese was a bit much but the sauce was a lot too so that balanced it out. caution though, i burned my tongue coz the dish was really hot! but i loved every bite and serving it with a bread was a good idea because the tomato sauce was to die for. i love the sauce, which kinda explains why i simply love secret recipe's meatball spaghetti.. hehehe...

i didn't take nana's fish and chips photos. i was too hungry to take more photos.. and nana was hungry too as she had started eating as soon as they came.

JM Briyani Subang Jaya

whoa how long has it been since i last did a review eh? hahaha.. hi!!! i'm back! i missed writing about food :)

anyway, one day i was craving for mi bandung. so as soon as i reached home, i called nana, my partner-in-crime, to book her for the nite and asked her where to have the best or at least tastes like mi bandung :D she didn't know. but she remembered JM Briyani had mi rebus or something. and i said ... ok la. it's close enough. so she called jon and jon's joining us later for some dinner as well ;)

i left home at about 8. i live in putrajaya now so it took me about 1/2 hour to reach nana's. picked her up and reached JM Briyani at about 8:50pm.

as i reached for the menu, nana already spotted the mi bandung! yeay! they've got mi bandung everyone. so i ordered mi bandung (bandung noodles?) and tauhu sumbat (fried tofu filled with some vegetables julienned (some people put carrots, cucumber, jicama and even bean sprouts - all the veggies that i love) eaten with yummy peanut sauce. nana ordered some rojak petis (fruit salad eaten with peanut sauce) and briyani with fried chicken and some curry. jon ordered murtabak.. it's prata with meat and egg fillings.. oh la la.. :D

Briyani


Ayam Goreng Berempah / Fried Chicken


Tauhu Sumbat/ Fried tofu filled with veggies served with peanut sauce


Mi Bandung/ Bandung Noodles

the noodles is not bad.. they used too much dried shrimps instead of real shrimps in making the gravy. but the taste is there. enough to satisfy my cravings for mi bandung. if you'd like the real one then you'd have to drive all the way to Muar, Johor.. hehehe ... now that's where you can get the real deal ;) the tauhu sumbat... omg! it's so heavenly! i love it! only thing is that they use too much onions in their sauces and gravies that i can taste the onion in my mouth when eating the dishes. i love the tofus cause they took out the insides of the tofu, leaving the skins and deep fried them and then put in the veggies so the juices from the veggies don't affect the tofu.. and so it's not soggy and it's not messy.. the rice is ok la.. i've tasted better briyanis.. the chicken is quite hard cause they fried it ... nana can't finish her chicken even though jon helped her. jon's murtabak is really nice. however they didn't heat the murtabak evenly, i guess they used the microwave to heat it, so it feels like eating yesterday's murtabak.. kekekee... ala2 makan getah gitu. but the taste is ok :) we finished it! rojak petis was ok.. but again it's the peanut sauce .. i dunno.. dun fancy it much :(

i love the ambience. the restaurant took 2 shop lots at subang. one is the open air type.. the other is a new airconditioned room. we chose to sit in the air-cond restaurant. the lighting was perfect for my photos, the presentation of the food was excellent. the staff are very nice and friendly. perhaps cause we were teasing them since we sat. :P service was quite fast. i mean with all the food that we've ordered... heeheheeh it'll take hours to serve us in a normal restaurant. i guess JM Briyyani is trying to go into the fast food market? heheh cool :) the toilet is clean. the restaurant is clean.

out of 10 i'd give it an 8. i don't mind going back. :)

miri specials: other places..

another cafe that fahmi took me to for dinner in miri was cafenika.. i guess cause the table we chose was outside the cafe, the lighting was not so good.. and i didn't really get to enjoy the food as much. i have to see what i eat.. so?

anyway, i ordered the nasi ayam with roasted chicken and salad. i thought it'd be like the typical nasi ayam with the actual salad.. but rupanya jauh panggang dari api. the chicken was nice tho.. no argue there.. but they served it with coleslaw.. and they don't even serve soup with it.. :( i was hungry so, i ate them anyway.. looks nice tho.. ain't it?

when fahmi had a meeting in kuala belait, brunei.. he took me with him. i don't mind the wait.. but he was really concerned. at first i wanted to lepak at the surau, but i intended to watch the people and listen to their conversations, try to catch some of the phrases they normally use.. and see what they eat mainly. so, i just sat at a corner in the cafeteria. fahmi even gave me 20 dollars so i don't starve...

bought myself a malay newspaper. and sat there.. during lunch time, most of them ordered mi goreng (fried noodles) so i reckoned it should be one of their specials. and so i foolishly ordered too. i even asked for mi goreng daging dengan telur mata kerbau. i thought it would be like one of those special mi goreng we're normally served here.. i was stunned when i looked at the dish. it was plain noodles cooked in soy sauce, with meat and fried egg on top.. more like the mi kicap served at convent dulu.. huhu.. luckily they had the condiments on each table.. something like served in sabah. hmm.. i wonder.. but then, it only costs me $2.20. so, i guess ok la.. what do u expect?

miri specials: idaman cafe

there's another cafe around saberkas we frequented.. idaman cafe. the service was damn slow! the waiters are clueless.. and they refuse to have eye contact with the customer.. but there're many people that went there.. so, the food should be good right? not really.. hehe

fahmi ordered the kueyteow tomyam tulang. weird combo. but the tomyam was really nice. i'd never thought of having tomyam tulang.. but they served it here.. and at 7 ringgit a bowl it should be nice! taste not bad.. fahmi likes it. the tomyam was ok lah..

the laksa sarawak i had here at idaman was really different from the one at sabrina corner. the gravy was heavily spiced. not really my cup of tea but after a while it was ok la kot.. when u're not really thinking of it.. emm... the one at sabrina was really light. i kinda preferred that. i really dig the limau laici drink they served. forgot to take photos of it. it's really that good.. i think i'd like to try make it at home.

another night we came to the restaurant, we ordered seafood tomyam, udang goreng kunyit and baby kailan ikan masin with white rice.. but they took forever to serve the food.. and the waiter screwed our order up. instead of tomyam, it was sup seafood... which tasted horrendous.. and instead of udang goreng kunyit, it was udang goreng tepung. luckily the udang goreng tepung was nice.. i ate most of it.. heheh.. sapa suruh fahmi makan nasi dulu without waiting for the udang? haha... and i ended up with an allergy attack the next day.. boo hoo.. no photos of the screwed up order, cause we were both starving when the food finally arrived..

overall, if u're starved, or even hungry, don't ever come here.. but the drinks are nice.. especially the iceblends..

miri specials: sabrina corner

this restaurant, is somewhat ermm.. uninviting. the deco wasn't really nice.. there's a buffet table in the middle of the restaurant and the buffet table were mounted by old magazines. i have no idea why they're there.. went there on the third day of my stay. fahmi took me there for brunch.. sort of.

i ordered the kueyteow goreng style penang (fried kueyteow penang style). i was under the impression that i ordered the char kueyteow. hehehe.. yeah right. it kinda looked like the kueyteow ladna (i think). it really reminds me of the mi goreng basah that rofi ordered when we were in tawau. sumthing like that laarr..






this fried kueyteow was fried with soy sauce and baby clams. it was weird, but it tasted nice.. and i finished it. go figure.. :P




then there's one night, we had dinner there, and fahmi had to order the nasi goreng ayam and sup tulang. the sup tulang was nice.. and the tulang was errmm.. fresh. but the nasi goreng ayam was different. usually the chicken would be obvious. i tried the laksa sarawak special. yummy.. :D and their air tiga assam. the air tiga assam is actually a mix of lemon, lime and asam boi juice. tasted like lime juice.. hehehe..
