Lunch at Lava Grill Burger

Salam,

Masa rehat hari Jummat memang panjangkan? Selalunya agak susah untuk buat keputusan untuk makan tengahari di mana. Jalan-jalan di shopping komplex, makan di restoran fast food atau duduk sahaja habiskan masa di pejabat. Oleh sebab Jumaat lepas tak kemana, maka hari ini perlulah berjalan-jalan meluaskan permandangan. Jalan-jalan area Serdang saja pun. Selama ini saya memang ingat burger bakar hanya beroperasi pada waktu malam. Jadi memang jarang sangat-sangat makan burger bakar. Sekarang memang tiada masalah lagi kalau teringin sangat nak makan burger pada waktu siang. Lunch hari ini dengan KaK Haryati di Lava Grill Burger. Memang bestlah! Jom tengok gambar!

Sirap Limau (RM1.50) dan Jus Mangga (RM3.00)

Balck Pepper Grilled Lamb Chop (RM16.00)
Musnah harapan diet saya. Dah la majlis 2 minggu lagi. Kena sit up 200x petang ini. Mampu?

Lava Single Beef Super Cheesy + French Fries (RM12.00)

          Nah, memang nampak sedapkan. Portion setiap hidangan memang banyak sangat. Pening nak habiskan makanan tadi. Memang mengah weh. Selain daripada burger dan western food, terdapat juga Asam Pedas Claypot dan Kari Claypot yang dihidang bersama nasi. Untuk hidangan claypot, anda boleh memilih jenis ikan yang disediakan seperti siakap, bawal dan kembung. Kepada anda yang teringin atau berminat bolehlah ke Restoran Lava Grill Burger di Sri Serdang.

Lupa nak ambil gambar masa dalam restoran. Gambar luar restoran pun boleh kan :)

Farewell Party at Pakistani Cuisine - Asif Beriani Restaurant

Hello,

Yesterday is the last working day for Mansor at our department. Sedih? Sedih tak? Sikit je. Mansor, lepas pindah tempat kerja baru ini, saya rasa semakin berasap la Innova kan. Maklumlah yang lain semua memang heavy smoker. OWH MY GOODNESS! Sentap! Perasaannya lebih teruk daripada musim jerebu di luar tatkala ini. Harap tidak la saya terpingsan-pingsan nanti. Huhu.

          Kami satu department semalam feeling-feeling sambut farewell Mansor dan Ayu di Restoran Beriani Asif. Yup, this is my first time being there. I think it is not that far from the office. About 15 minute by walking. If there were no guidance from En. Sobri or En. Mohd Noor, I am sure we could not find the place. 

At the entrance.

Taking pictures while waiting the meal. Highlights: I do think Kak Emy (in red blouse) looks slimmer from the last meeting. 

          The meal was absolutely remarkable. It is delicious and during the lunch period it is packs with people. I manage to take some picture of the food. Firstly, I tried their mango lassi and it was decious as if I am eating a fresh mango. Not kidding there. Then came the beriani rice made from 100% basmathi rice which is claimed to be good for your health has a really fluffy texture! Suka suka suka! The side dishes was even tastier - Chicken Masala, Lamb Shank, Grilled Lamb and Cucumber Salad. I didn't taste the chicken Masala. But the lamb shank was superb. The lamb was cooked perfectly and so tender! The grilled lamb was good too!

The food from the restaurant! Looks yummy!

Star of the day. I'm wishing all the best for both of them. May new place will gives them more joy and happiness!

Nasi Goreng Kerang di Pantai Remis

Salam,

Jalan- jalan di pantai Remis memang seronok. Tambahan pula di sana terdapat jualan pelbagai jenis ikan, kerang, kepah segar yang boleh dijadikan juadah lauk-pauk yang sedap. Selain daripada itu, keropok ikan pun ada dijual (bukan keluaran tempatan tapi diimport dari Kedah). Pertama kali ke Pantai Remis memang mengujakan. Lepas penat pusing-pusing melawat gerai seafood segar, perut pula minta untuk diisi tambahan pula panas terik waktu tengahari menambahkan dahaga di tekak. Maka, Medan Selera Pantai Remis menjadi pilihan kali ini. Hihihi.

Ikan segar yang dijual. Pardon me, saya kenal ikan bawal aje. Kalau suruh teka kan siakap atau keparu belum tentu betul.

          Disebabkan saya feeling-feeling mahu diet, maka Nasi Goreng Kerang menjadi pilihan. Sebenarnya saya tersalah order. Sepatutnya Nasi Goreng Lala sebab lagi menarik. Tidak mengapalah, perkara sudah lepas. Kawan-kawan yang lain memang dasyat. Mereka order - Ikan Kerapu Tiga Rasa, Ayam Masak Sweet Sour, Telur Dadar dan Mee Goreng. Wah, macam hidangan makan malam rasanya. Bila sampai sahaja hidangan yang telah ditempah...Nah! nasi gorengku memang terbaik dengan kerang yang banyak lagi gemuk. Oleh yang demikian, feeling-feeling diet hancur sama sekali.

Nasi Goreng Kerang dengan kerang yang gemuk-gemuk.

Mereka yang order. Saya kalau banyak begini untuk lunch memang tak mampu nak habiskan.

          Melalui blog-blog yang saya baca, hidangan udang lipanadalah popular di kawasan Pantai Remis. Tapi sungguh, saya memang tidak tahu lokasinya di mana. Khasiat Udang Lipan atau Udang Ketak menurut Abah, boleh mengubati penyakit lelah / asthma. Yes, I need to check it out ofter this :)

Burger Bakar - Abang Burn vs. Kaw-Kaw

Salam and Hello,

After five hours exhausting journey back to KL, there are warning sounds made by the tummy that can be heard by my neighbor. It screams, “Fill me up, Fill me up, Please!” With the cold whether due to the rain and plus the traffic jam, the head start to feel drowsy. Luckily, one of my friends (there are three of us) asked if we wanted to have dinner before reaching home. Gladly, I said yes!

Supremo -  meat burger with slice of cheese, onion rings and deep fried mushroom from Burger Bakar Abang Burn (RM10.50)

We choose to ate somewhere near to my house. But have no idea exactly where to eat. Suddenly my friend suggested trying burger bakar (grilled burger) since he never tasted it before. As for me, I have eaten them before this and I think it is quite good and it is a big meal. First time having burger bakar with my fiancée at Burger Bakar Abang Burn located in Kota Damansara. At that time I choose meat grilled burger with onion rings and mushrooms. A big credit for the juicy meat patty and love the mushrooms. But honestly I am not a fan of burgers with lots of chili sauce and extra mayo. Overalls, I kinda like it.

Baconizer - Beef burger with slice of cheese and beef bacon at Burger Bakar Kaw-Kaw (RM10.50).

After a few rounds of hunting the burger stalls at Wangsa Maju, finally we found Burger Bakar Kaw-Kaw. Since this was our first time here, we don’t know which one is the best. So, we ordered the same Baconizer Burger which consists of burger with beef patty, slice of cheese and two strips of beef bacon. Again, it was big! I can’t imagine those who are having more than 2 patties. They must be really hungry! My first bite experience, it was a splendor! Sedap sangat! Beyond my imagination. Less sauce and mayo just like I them. The patty taste different from the other burgers that I have eaten before. Less fats maybe because through my observation, if the patty have high fats, I will have the oily taste and gooey. Lucky me, this doesn’t have that. Taste like homemade ground meat (not the one you bought from supermarket) with few spices! Superb and seriously want to have it again after this!

Pertama Kali Makan Nasi Ambeng

Assalam,

Masih saya ingat ketika masih belajar di universiti, seorang sahabat yang berketurunan Jawa seringkali bercerita tentang keenakan nasi ambeng. Pertama kali mendengarnya saya bertanya, “Nasi ambeng tu ape? Tak penah dengar pon?”. Lalu sahabat saya bercerita tentangnya dengan lebih lanjut. Menurutnya, nasi ambeng merupakan salah satu makanan yang biasanya dihidangkan di dalam dulang sewaktu majlis kenduri khasnya dilakukan oleh masyarakat Jawa. Hidangan merupakan nasi putih yang mepunyai lauk –pauk disekeliling seperti tempe goreng, urap, sambal goreng, ayam goreng dan yang lebih menarik mee goreng adalah salah satu lauk hidangan. Memang pelik pertama kali saya mendengarnya dan tidak dapat saya gambarkan pada ketika itu. 

          Melalui info yang terdapat di internet, nasi ambeng yang di sajikan melambangkan keberuntungan dan membawa harapan agar pihak yang menikmatinya akan di murahkan rezeki. 

Inilah rupa sepinggan nasi ambeng. Penuh sangat! Makan sampai mengah.

          Semasa kerja lapangan di Kuala Selangor tempoh hari, pertama kali saya berkesempatan untuk merasa hidangan nasi ambeng di Warung Ibu, Tanjung Karang. Perasaan ketika menikmatinya....Sedap! Saya tidak sangaka kombinasi mee goreng dan nasi putih boleh menjadi. Saya sarankan bagi sesiapa yang mempunyai kapasiti perut yang kecil, sepinggan hidangan nasi ambeng boleh dikongsi untuk dua orang. Memang sangat kenyang kalau seorang sahaja yang makan. Lepas ini, bolehlah saya makan nasi ambeng lagi!

Warung Ibu terletak di Batu 6, Kg. Sungai Gulang-Gulang, 45500, Tanjung Karang, Selangor.
Ia terletak kira-kira 12 minit dari bandar Kuala Selangor. (Pernah masuk JJCM 2010)

Exotic Food - Lembah Bernam Restaurant

 Salam,

In front of the restaurant - Kak Emy

          Have you ever curiously wanted to taste something different and exotic? Yes I do. In my visit to Sekinchan, my friend had introduce us this restaurant that serve not only eels but other exotic delicacies such as hedgehog, deer and quail too. I was so curious how does the hedgehog's meat taste like. The answer to it that it is tough meat and it taste okay just like cow's meat. But according to my fiance, after consume the hedgehog meat's, it will give more heat to the body. Of course I didn't feel any different after eating it. But it is advisable to people with high blood pressure not yo take the meat.

          These are the food that has been serve. Makanan Kampung. From top clock wise - Ayam Kampung Goreng Berempah, Ulam dan Sambal Tempoyak, Sembilang Masak Lemak Cili Api, Rendang Ayam Kampung, Landak (Hedgehog) Masak Kari. What I really like from the above is the Rendang Ayam Kamoung and those green leaves. A real yums!

        

          If you are really into Malay foods, I really encourage you to have a meal here and for you info, they only serve you a lunch treat. According to the locals, this place was quite famous and you will get there easily. Please have a visit to these place and plus, you will have a really nice view during the paddy growing season. Enjoy!

Cendol Bakar JJCM!

Hello.

Baru balik dari outsation di Tanjung karang. Hasil daripada kerja luar, kulit yang putih gebu terus hangus hitam terbakar. Pakai bedak berkepuk-kepuk pun kulit masih gelap lagi. Owh sedih! Tapi yang best, permandangan sawah padi kat sana memang cantik dan no wonder banyak filem dan drama Malaysia buat penggambaran di sana contoh - Drama Nur Kasih. 

Lepas bekerja tak berapa nak lelah, waktu petang yang lapang, Kak Amy ajak makan kat Cendol Bakar. Sebelum ini pun En. Tunang ada pesan cari di mana lokasi Cendol bakar tu. Teruja sungguh! Kak Amy yang memang suka sangat bab-bab cari makan bersungguh cari lokasi Cendol Bakar.

Sampai sahaja di lokasi, memang teruja sebab ada DRIVE-THRU kalau nak beli cendol! Ohmy...First time ade tempat begini. Yelah selalunya restoran fast food sahaja yang ada drive thru. Yang paling menarik, gula melaka yang digunakan untuk sirap cendol dibakar terlebih dahulu. Rasa cendol yang memang tak sama dengan yang selalu beli di KL. Ade pahit sikit tetapi tak terlalu ketara. Exotic taste!

Clinic Café at Sunway Prai

A story of few months ago,

I was working up north and one night I was really hungry. Plus I have no idea where to find a good meal. Yup, being alone, hungry and far away from home was not a great thing. A night before, my colleagues was bragging about having dinner at a clinic near the hotel. They said that the clinic served them a really great meals and one of them were jabbed a few times. Half disbelieved with the jabbed thingy (because they look fine to me), at last they told me the truth that they had dinner at Clinic Café. Feel exited to try the food and I went there to have the experience. 

A step in the restaurant, I can feel the ambience of being in a hospital! Oh my, the nurses welcoming you and help with the orders. Unique! The food was nice and some clinic’s utensils were used! I like! Feeling-feeling sangat macam orang sakit. Enjoy people!

Aww! The interior is just like in hospital.

KFC - Kelantan Fried Chicken

Assalamualaikum,

I never tasted before in my life the Kelantan Fried Chicken (also know as Kel FC). Normally the products were marketed at night market and they have hundreds of branch throughout Malaysia. But I found out that they have opened their first ever restaurant in Equine Serdang. The waitress told us that they had already operating 7 months ago and will be promoting their restaurant on Jalan-jalan Cari Makan (JJCM) on this 21 Jan 2013! I am sure the restaurant will be a hot spot after this. 

Why did I say a HOT SPOT? It is because the price was so cheap and tasty! Really cheap and at the end of the day you are thankful enough with the full belly. I like to say that the  serving portion are more compared to the other KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken)! Of course the chicken size was absolutely bigger than what we usually eat at KFC. Not only that the chicken was marinated with their homemade recipe and it taste different. You have to taste it and you know what I mean.  

Well, I guess it is time for some changes! Let us support local and Halal food. Jom review what my friends and I had at the Kel Fried Chicken. Demo boleh kecek kelate pah ni :)

Whole Leg Chicken Chop RM8.00

Kelantan Chicken Chop RM5.00 ( One of the hot item! )

Chicken Rice Kel FC RM6.00 - The rice was so soft and aromatic!

Ice blended Chocolate and Tiramisu RM3.00 each.

Bulgogi Brothers (Korean BBQ) @ Curve, Damansara

Annyeong-haseyo. 

Suddenly I just have the feeling to speak korean language. Hehehe.

          Last Sunday, my fiance' and I decided to have lunch at Ikea since  I was craving for the delicious meatballs. Been dreaming to have the balls! While I was on my way to park the car at the Curve, he saw the signage of Bulgogi Brothers and ask me to try the korean food since both of us never taste it before. I said ok, but I like to have the meatball first (tak mau mengalah!). Well, it was Sunday and of course very long cue towards the food counter at Ikea and please don't ask me about the seating there. Because I was so determined, we managed to get seated at some corner :) 

          I was full with 5 meatballs, broccoli and chocolate almondy cake in my tummy. Hoping that he will forget the korean food. So, I asked him to watch Skyfall (which I found out that the movie was devastatingly boring and such a disappointing) later after having the meatballs. Then, on our way to the Curve, tada! There was the Bulgogi Brothers Restaurant in front of us. With his smiley face, I know he didn't forget about it and said, "Jom cuba ni pulak!". I asked him to have it after the movie but he said no because he was hungry. And of course I agree with him...Habes diet iolls!

Bulgogi Brothers Special (RM81.90 for 400g, RM121.90 for 600g) and the beef served here is  Australian beef. There are a few beef dish to choose from either the combination of Unyang and Gwangyang-style bulgogi, Gwangyang-sik bulgogi and many more. Click here to find out the menu. The Unyang-sik bulgogi is a considered royal cuisine and made in heart-shape and Gwangyang-sik bulgogi is thinly sliced seasoned beef served with leeks, sweet potatoes, mushrooms and onions. For today we tried the Gwangyang-sik bulgogi. The beef is grilled in front us as the each server table was equipped with the induction cooker.

Complimentary from the house, Memil Cha and lots of vegetables - Kimichi, Kangkong in soya sauce, white reddish (I guess so),  corn, reen peas, sweet potato, simmered lotus in soy sauce (Yeon-gn Jorim), pumpkin+sweet potato paste and kangkong with sesame. (Phew~ Korean do eat a lot!) 

          Besides that, as this is our first time trying the korean dish, he likes to have bibimbap (influenced from korean drama - Running Man). He choose to eat Chicken Bibimbap, a korean style fried rice with spicy chicken slices and lots of vegetables. For me, I didn't like the taste. Maybe the waitress have put in too much the spicy sauce (I'm not a fan of spicy foods).

The waitress, Yati helped us grilling our Gwangyang-sik bulgogi. Love!

Chicken Bibimbap.

Birthday treats at Ben's KLCC

It has a lovely ambiance and sometimes I would like to have the same interior designs for my future house (just an angan-angan). One day I said to my fiance' that the place was awesome and proposed that maybe both of us can dine there together. As time goes by, after the his sulking face towards my forgetfulness finally I managed to bring him to the Ben's located at Suria KLCC. It was his first time there and he loves the place too!

From Google

Cozy ambiance (from Isaactan.net)

          Since he was always away from me and once in a blue moon seeing around, to have a lunch with him is a bless. Especially if my tummy was full, he was there for me to eat them all. Love love love! Untung ade bakal suami begini. Say no to food wasting. So, for his birthday lunch treats, we are having Crabmeat Linguine Puttanesca and Macaroni Cheese. Meanwhile for dessert we have this lovely Macadamia CheeseCake Sundae. Actually, I would like to have the pavlova...but no thanks because the serving for the crabmeat linguine was really alot!

Crabmeat Linguine Puttanesca RM23.90

Macaroni Cheese RM20.90

Our drinks for the day.

Berries Pavlova Sandwich RM11.90

Macadamia CheeseCake Sundae RM10.90

Lastly..Happy Birthday again Sweetheart! Glad that you enjoy the foods!

Jom perkena mee rebus!

After a long hard day working at the trial plot in MARDI...I'm proudly announce it is now lunch time!

 Today I was given a chance to choose the eating place! Hooray!

I'm thinking to have something light and no-no rice please! I had plenty of them and feels fat enough.

There was a nice place that I haven't yet visit since last time in 2010 with my lab's colleague. 

They said the place was quite famous and it was true indeed because served you with delicious yet a simple meal. 

Welcome to  Mee Rebus Mak Long!

Of course the house specialty was mee rebus. The plain mee rebus cost you for only RM3.50 and the special mee rebus (you can have it with beefs prawns or chickens) for only RM 4.50. Amazingly cheap! It was a simple detection on how to know to food was indeed good when Prof Albert is around. just asked him aout the food and if he answer, "ohh, I think the food is very nice, it wasn't spicy and I like it." This means that the food was great!

Besides mee rebus, you can have chicken rice and it was a nice dish also. Smelled of homemade cooking really rocks your appetite especially when you are really far away form home. 

 So, kawan-kawan, jangan lupa singgah na kalau ke Kepala Batas. Pi pekena mee rebus!

I'm having Mee Rebus Special with Beefs 

Prof Albert is excited - I can it from here!

Tapai Pulut - as appetizer :)

Nurul Ikan Bakar!

It has been my third time eating here as I was away to work up north of the country. I like it so much and this place was highly recommended my me! The restaurant was located in Batu Uban. Driving from Perai across the magnificent Penang bridge will take you about 20 minutes (with normal speed). Take the exit towards Bayan Lepas and take the first exit on your left. Be extra cautions because the exit from the highway towards the restaurant was small and easily to be missed. The exit to this awesome place was a bit narrow and easily you will miss the junction if you are not careful enough.

          What makes this place a pit stop for you while visiting the Penang Island? It is because they serves you with plenty of fresh seafood! Fresh shrimps, squids, sting rays, sea basses and cockles can be found here. These foods can be prepared according to what suites your taste by simply grilled, steamed, stir fried, a sweet sour dish or fry it with hot chilies. Just name it! The price was reasonable enough and affordable.

          It was a really nice place really. Even the  people from the Netherlands and Japan love it. Last time when I was brought here with Mrs Sacha, she mention that the shrimps at the restaurant are bigger, fresh and cheap! Yup, this is because the shrimps that she used to eat back home in the Netherland are imported one. Alhamdulillah, the food are still considered cheap here in our country. Don't forget Prof. Albert and Mrs Tomoko. They too enjoy the food that being served here. I remember Mrs Tomoko said, "Oishii!" while the food. So, when you are in Penang, care to have a bite there and tell me what you think of it! Hoping you will feel the same as I am!

Fresh from the sea.

The menu: Grilled sting ray, fried squid, sweet sour sea bass, mango salad and stir fried vegetables. 

The parties and busy with their cameras.

Syawal 2012 - Keropok Cap Tenggiri

I am on my way back to Kuala Lumpur. It has been a short time celebrating raya at my hometown. So sad! I am going to miss them. Sudah lah jarang balik sekejab ja pulak tu.

On the way, I managed to stop over at one of the shop that sells keropok lekor. Never miss it and I do think it was one of the best keropok lekor shop! Sedap. Moreover, there are various types of keropok were sold there too. If you come to visit Terengganu and have keropok lekor on your mind, I recommend to have a stop here at the Kedai Keropok Cap Tenggiri at Kemaman.

The keropok lekor was freshly made in front of your eyes
