Delicious

To be frank, Delicious is one of the restaurant that we often visit on a weekly basis. Whether to have their dessert *as mention here*, to munching snacks over small chats with friends or even for a meal. Certainly not surprised if the people there will know our orders by heart. Hehehe.

Today, we came for dinner and catching up with friends. We divide and conquered their Asian cuisine as well as Western. First up would be their Chicken Rice. This would be our first time having it. When it first came, the first thing that came to mind was where's the chilli? Usually whenever we have Chicken Rice, we would always ask for extra Kicap (soy sauce) but in this case that would not be a problem. 

{Delicious Spicy Steamed Chicken. RM 19.90}

It stated in the menu that it was spicy soy sauce. But from the looks of it, it need more spice! Hehehe. Little did we know that they actually blended in and incorporate it in the soy sauce. A healthy portion of chicken that came with the rice and soup. Another dish that we would recommend is from their Asian delicacies is the Green Curry with Rice. 

Next would be the Carbonara.

{Spaghettini Carbonara, RM 23.90}

Needless to say that it is cheesy but the balance of the mushroom and bacon strips in it completes the meal. Don't worry, it is Halal of course. The downside of eating Carbonara is that mid way through the meal, you will start to get all cheesed out. Luckily the soy sauce was there to the rescue. It may sound a tat gross but it actually compliments the carbonara and added a unique taste to it. Not to mention it tasted super good that it got the job done to finish up the pasta. 

There are plenty more items on the menu that we are truly fond of like their big ass salad (you should try their pomelo salad or to be safe, Caesar Salad), burgers, pies and the 3 cheese sandwich.

E Garden Recipe

On the way to staying healthy, it is hard to find a nice organic food shop that is reasonable until now. Located in SS2 Mall tucked away a cosy little organic restaurant, called E Garden Recipe. To most, healthy food equals to high in price and low on taste. Rest assure that this is not the case.

The menu was filled with food that is served with Brown Rice and uses Yoghurt instead of Santan for their curry dishes. Between the 8 of us, we had about 6 different dishes. 

The first was Assam laksa followed by Curry laksa. The others had the mee soup, grilled salmon with rice and also grilled chicken. Last but not least would be their Lei Cha.

{Our HUGE bowl of Curry Laksa, RM 10.90}

{Lei Cha and its condiments, RM 13.90}

The portion are worth every single organic penny there is as they came in HUGE bowls (for the laksas). They also served freshly juiced fruits without added water or sugar of course. Wouldn't mind going back to try their other dishes. 

Price Range: The meals and drinks will cost about RM5  to RM 25 (before the 10% govt tax)

The Tappers

Jaya One is the place my colleagues and I tend to go for lunch. A is because it is one of the nearest to the office (Amcorp is the nearest but the parking is such a hassle) and B there is plenty of choices to eat and lastly  C if we feel like it, Starbucks is just around the corner *wink*. So today, we decided to have lunch at Tappers Caffe.

The ambiance is so chilled out and the decor eventhough minimalistic, it is still gorg and an inspirational for my future wall of picture frames that I plan to do. It can be packed at peak hours but I must say service is still alright in terms of speed. 

There were 4 of us that went out for lunch that day, so we all ended up choosing four different meals from their set lunch. Their set lunch comes with a drink of your choice between lime, lemon tea, Goo Leng Ping (aka sirap bandung) and honey mmon. The first of the four meals came.

 {Spaghetti Carbonara RM 12.90}

My colleague's feels that the sauce was a bit creamy and watery but taste wise, fits the bill of RM 12.90. 

 {Chicken Parmigiano RM12.90}

This was my lunch. It is basically chicken chop with melted cheese on top of it. Delicious and well recommended. The only downfall was the size of the portion. I was still left a tat hungry after lunch.

 {Bangers and Mash RM 8.90}

{Chicken Chop RM 13.90}

All in all for the price that we paid, it was satisfactory however the size of the portion might vary from one person to another and also depending on the food that you are ordering. So far the biggest of the lots is the Chicken Chop as well as the Asian food for lunch sets.

Satay Station istana budaya branch

Nowadays, it is hard to find good quality malaysian food at a reasonable price. One of our local delicacy, the satay is served almost verywhere but it is usually tiny pieces of meat on a skewer. From the name of the stall says it all. Satay station has several outlets and the one we visited is near Istana Budaya. 

The menu is simple either to order satay or mee Rebus. Of course we ended up with both to fill our taste buds. First up would be the Mee Rebus. A portion enough to leave space for a few sticks of satay. Although it may look unappealing, but beg the differ as it has just enough of everything to savour any taste buds. Mee Rebus originated from Johor has become everyone's favourite and a staple in any local restaurant menu. 

The Mee Rebus consists of sliced up boiled egg, bean sprouts, fried shallots and of course yellow noodles. What makes or breaks the taste of the Mee Rebus is the gravy. A nice thick gravy is what makes it heavenly to be consumed by the masses. Next would be SATAY!

The helping of the satay here is how it should be. The key to a good satay skewer combination is meat-fat-meat. The meat is juicy and cooked to perfection whether it is lamb, beef or chicken. The peanut sauce accompanying the satay is thick and filled with chucks of peanuts which makes it even more appetizing to consumed. The sauce is so good that you can even eat it on its own. The only thing that would be a downfall for the satay is the lack of cucumber and rice. This is what you called truly an asian dish where many chef abroad can't really replicate.

Papa John's

One of the many gifts that we got from America is their fast food chains. And it is DE-LI-CIOUS! It is quite refreshing eating a different taste of pizza as compared to Dominos and Pizza Hut. The outlet that we went to was at the Tropicana City Mall. Hidden away at the edge of the mall but we are so glad to passed by and grab a taste of it. 

The menu of the night would of course be pizza (DUH!) and a few more other things. First up would be their appetiser: the Cheese stick. Well don't expect it to look like a stick literally, I would personally say that is it a preparation of what is ahead. Basically their cheese stick is a miniature version of a cheese only pizza. What made it even more appealing is the fact that it came with a tomato and garlic sauce on the side. RM 6.90 is a steal for this miniature all cheese pizza

Next was something that none of the fast food pizza parlour has. I would like to present "THE POCKET PIZZA". I knew that was what I wanted to order the moment I went through the menu. A good choice that was. What I have noticed with Papa John's is their cheese factor. The pocket pizza is what a pizzeria would call a calzone.  This is their Chicken and Mushroom Pizza Pocket. 

For RM 8.90, it is an ideal meal for one if you are not in the mood to share or eat a pizza. This too comes with a tomato sauce.

Last but not least, here comes the Papa John's pizza. Like Dominos, they too have the option as having half-half toppings of pizza. This is a great way to taste the variety of  toppings that they offer. The topping of choice for the night is: Super papa and  Pepperoni. 

What we notice is the fact that at Papa John's, their pizza or any other food on the menu goes well with the tomato sauce and their special garlic sauce. A matter of fact, it even enhances the whole eating experience and leave you craving for more! Even though you are super full *wink*. Moderation is the word people. We shall meet again Papa John's to try out even more toppings that you have to offer.
