Food @ Asia Cafe

Tuesday, I had a nice guest that came all the way from Penang to meet up with me and so the question that popped up was, where can we go for dinner?

The usual back and forth of suggesting a place to go went on for a good 5min before we decide to go somewhere near where there’s alot of choices. So… off I drove us to the nearest place to the hotel. Asia Cafe in SS15 Subang.

What I ordered for us was the following…

Ikan Pari Pari bakar – I told the cook to cut down on the sauce as it’ll kill the overall taste, can say that I made the right decision. The fish was cooked just the way I like it.

This was followed by Fried Mushroom, I’m not sure what type of mushrooms these are called but it was nice to chew on.

The last thing that came was the Sotong Ball. I think its called Taco balls. I don’t usually like the sotong ones as the sotongs are quite .. rubbery to me. But here is a mixture as there’s also the prawn and crab meat ones.

All in all, Asia Cafe is a nice place to go to hang out, there’s less and less choice of food to choose from though as my favorite Lobak stall is no longer there along with a few other stalls’ standards dropping. I guess this is due to the fact that the locals are not preparing the food anymore and tasks had been handed down to the foreign helpers. When was the last time you went?

Home Made Pan Mee

Pan Mee, most of the time, we just go to the restaurant to buy it. But sometimes, it's just nice to make the pan mee ourselves. Home made style Pan Mee doesn't have all those fancy fancy stuff you get from those sold in the Restaurant.

BUT... the big BUT here is that we can put in as much of our favorite add-ons as we like. In my case, minced pork and loads of it! I must admit that the dough for the pan mee was not prepared by me but my mom! But cooking it and all that... done by me.

So, what do you think? Looks good?

Delicious @ Bangsar Village 2

The last time we went to Delicious was about a year ago at 1Utama’s new wing. So while doing some shopping in Bangsar on the Friday night, we decide to head over to the one in Bangsar Village 2. Maybe the time to go was at their peak period but heck, we had to wait about 30minutes (felt like centuries) before we were given a place to sit.

Looking through the menu, I was given the task to choose the food we were to consume and these was what we ordered.

Smoked Salmon Angelhair – Very nice, not too creamy and the Salmon was very fresh!

Grilled Chicken Spinach Salad – Another excellent Salad dish from Delicious. Very filling too.

Wedges – The side dish that accompanied the Salad and the Angelhair. When we order this dish, we didn’t know there was so much! Heck, we couldn’t finish this plate of wedges no matter how we try.

We also ordered the mashed potato but sadly, they ran out of it. Definitely worth another visit, this time, will definitely make a reservation before heading there. Another matter I'd like to point out. Remember my previous post about Shanghai 10? Somehow they couldn't sustain themselves in Bangsar and had since shifted/closed down. If anyone know where they have moved to, will be great if you could let me know. Thanks!

Fried Rice Ala Zique

Today, I come to you to teach you the art of cooking your own fried rice... MY STYLE!

The Ingredients:

• 1 Can of Luncheon Meat aka SPAM chopped to cubes
• 1 whole Potato chopped to cubes
• 1 whole Onion chopped to your liking
• 2 Spoonful of Rice

• First, heat up the Wok with 2 spoon of oil.
• Place in the Potatoes with a pinch of salt and toss til it starts to turn golden brown
• Place in the Luncheon Meat next and stir until you get tired of stirring.
• Place in the Onion next and stir until you got bored (or until the onion looks soft).
• Place in the rice and stir for awhile before adding in a dash of Soy Sauce for taste. Stir until you feel that it's enough before placing into a nice looking plate.

There you have it... Fried Rice.... oh yeah... I had a pot of Pork Stew as side dish but I finished it before I finished cooking the rice so, no pics from it.

End result? It should look like this...

What do you think? Looks good? :p

Shanghai 10

We went to Shanghai 10 and ate at the place on the 23rd Jan but only manage to get it uploaded today. Food wise, the place is quite good with a nice atmosphere. Located in Bangsar’s Telawi 2 amidst all the pubs and clubs, the place provides various type of dishes from dimsum to noodles.

What we ate was the following… sorry, no names of the food (I lost my note )

Reasonably priced dishes and a nice place to go whether you’re alone or in a group before hitting the bars and clubs around bangsar.
