Kenny Roger's Roaster : Dinner

It is not a regular thing that we get to eat a lavish and opulent meal like tonight (as a family), therefore I shall blog about it.

Daddy and I ordered the Kenny Rogers Garden Meal (something like that, I totally forgot the name) but it was quite a disappointment. The chicken was good like always,  butttt the Caesar salad that comes with it was a complete catastrophe. The salad consists of only pieces of lettuces, sliced tomatoes and a few red onion rings. Raw. Naked. Bland. Tasteless. And no, no salad dressings no drizzles of olive oil. I ordered that because the attractive picture in the menu clearly portrayed dices of chicken breasts which looked tempting on the salad!  And the meal set was 40 cents more than the regular meal set. Good gracious!  Too sad.  In the end I had to abduct my sister's coleslaw and ate together with the (I called it) grass.

But anyway thumbs up for the black pepper roaster chicken and chocolate muffin. This evening's 30 minutes cardio was a waste.

Island 小岛 Tarts and Juice : Kuching

Went out for a 2 hour (LOL we had so much to talk over pies and tarts) tea break with Kim, Alvin and Vic this afternoon.

Our tallest friend.  

Menu, just that.... I spotted a spelling error oops.

Are you already drooling? 

No?

It took us like 15 mins to take the perfect picture hahaha. 

They have good pie selection although I didn't see any extra unusual options there. We had Mango Cheese tart, Ham & Cheese Quiche (the best among the three I think), and Alfredo Chicken Pie. We were kinda disappointed on their Mango Cheese tart though, the crust was almost impenetrable and wasn't all that tasty, there was almost no hint of cheese in it, and it was actually fairly bland. The mango cubes on top was a bit too sour for us as well. Moreover, at RM 7.50 a tart, you should be making a friggin awesome, mouth watering, want to bathe in it, kind of tart.
But anyway, my cheese & ham quiche was pretty good, but I hoped they would be more generous on the cheese toppings. Alfredo Chicken pie was average.

I saw two men beside our table order two large glasses... wait, it was way larger than an ordinary glass, okay two bucket (LOL) of fruit juices and it seemed so good! Would like to try someday.

Best Sarawak Laksa in Kuching: Thompson Corner

Had breakfast with the fam this morning. LAKSA anddddd local black coffee.

Sarawak Laksa in all its glory. Rm 5.50 for small, RM 7 for large.

 Sarawak laksa's broth is made with a paste of sambal belacan, sour tamarind, galangal, lemongrass, herbs and spices, chicken stock and coconut milk. A typical bowl of Sarawak laksa comes with rice vermicelli, omelette strips, shredded chicken, beansprouts, prawns, clams (upon request), fresh coriander and lime. All the above ingredients come together, forming the perfect union, nice and sturdy.

Addicted to coffee somehow.

Azuma Japanese Restaurant @ Seremban 2

Last night we decided to eat out instead of the usual boring home cook dishes (1 vege+ 1 meat + White rice), it's time for me to learn new recipes again soon.

Azuma Japanese Restaurant, located at Seremban 2 offers a superb menu in a contemporary and convivial atmosphere.

Nicely Printed Menus

We had a hard time choosing.

Fresh from the sushi bar

I don't know what is this, but it tastes pretty good.

Bie's Unagi Don

My Sanma Shioyaki Set. 

Overall it was fine, but I still find Takenoko the best! Maybe we shouldn't have ordered fish, Bie's unagi and my sanma fish was strong in odour.

Had a wonderful weekend with Bie. Drove all the way up to Ikea @ Damansara to buy stuffs for our new home. So I've always wanted to try Ikea's Swedish meatballs at Perth, but never had the chance to. So this time, I tried them here at Ikea Damansara instead.

We had Ikea meatballs, cinnamon bun, marble cheese cake, and salmon with vegetable quiches. Both of us stepped out of the restaurant with XXL-sized tummies.
RM 40.60 in total.

Vibes

The Curve, IPAC, eCurve and One Utama is just in the vicinity, so we had the chance to loiter at the shopping malls after Ikea. Nothing much to do at The Curve though, well if you are a big fan of Michael Kors, Coach, and Gucci you can spend the whole day there, but we were not into branded goods, so we ramble for 20 minutes and left for One Utama.

Dinner @ Fish&Co. Italian Fish and Chips and Spicy Teriyaki Grilled Fish.
RM 46 in total. 

Isetan was having an Asian food fair, so we bought a Japanese Matcha ice cream for desert!
RM 6.45

These two Boost juices have a story behind the rock. We walked with tired calves and painful soles for them.
Berry Crush & Mango Tango.
RM 11 ++ in total.

I wanna collect these chocolates! Vintage wrappers!

A weekend in which I can spend with Bie, ranks as one of the best weekends I'll ever have.

Belated birthday dinner with Bie

Had a really satisfying dinner with Bie last night at Daorae Korean BBQ Restarant, Seremban 2. The last time I had Korean dinner as nice as this was at Perth. The side dishes were up to standards, barbequed pork ribs and chicken were finely marinated, and the Galbitang was delectable too!

Galbitang: RM 22
Marinated Pork Ribs: RM 30
Marinated Boneless Chicken in Soy Sauce: RM 30
+
Free flow of  Korean tea and refillable side dishes!

Thank you Bie for a wonderful dinner. We went home with big bellies and happy faces. My suggestion is that if you want to be able to try different types of dishes, come with more people. And with a big appetite.
Oh and something worth mentioning, they had Girls Generation's album playing all night long!

Dinner @ Chingooya; Supper @ Riverbank Cafe

Had Korean food at Chingooya Korean Restaurant, Batu Pahat two nights ago. It was supposed to be my belated birthday celebration as suggested by Beng, but I did not want to be the awkward limelight of the night, especially not already 4 days passed my birthday. So we went out for a casual dinner instead, with Joanne as well.

The last time I had Korean food in BP was already 2 years ago.

Menu

Growing crowd after 7pm

It was ramen, mushrooms, chicken, Korean ricecakes, and vegetables on the hot pan; grilled mackerel on the right, and  small portions of side dishes.

I always have a penchant for spicy food, therefore kimchi, gochujang, and whatever korean hot sauce do not bother me. I even asked the waiter for extra hot sauce! The grilled mackerel and side dishes was worth a 4 star rating, but the hot pan was not to my liking, the main reason was because of the overrated price for ramen. Omg one small piece of ramen, exactly the size of a typical instant noodle costs RM 6. Ouch.

Joanne and I.

Hi !

Dinner is always incomplete without desserts. Heh! So to the Riverbank Cafe we went. 

I like the calm, relaxing atmosphere. There was even a notice at the entrance that read " Make no noise. Enjoy."

Books!

More books!

Pink couch

I like every corner of the cafe.

Chocolate and Mint Cake

Mine was green tea latte.

Takenoko 竹の香

Bie and I were discussing over the toughest question on earth : 'What's for dinner?', and we decided to google for restaurants in Seremban.  
He found Takenoko 竹の香 Japanese Restaurant on Trip Advisor and we thought why not?

I forgot to take a shot of the restaurant so I had to google for it.

A large collection of wine bottles adorned the walls of the restaurant

We ordered their Salmon bento and Tempura Udon, which was so good that we couldn't stop complimenting with every munch. 

If you noticed the mochi in the bento, it was actually chocolate fudge mochi! It was a satisfying dinner that night, thumbs up!
