Sloppy Chic

What do you say to a leisure afternoon tea at a nice cozy cafe?

Although it is located in Times bookstore in Bangsar Shopping Center, but Huckle Berry Cafe is not owned by Times bookstore.

The small yet compact area. You can choose to seat on the couch if you wanna munch and read at the same time.

They have quite a variety of pastries selections in the cafe.

They are also selling interesting Bickford’s bottled drinks -RM7/bottle.

One of them is Sarsaparilla. It tasted really sarsi-ish but less carbonated.

My drinks of the night - iced mocha and iced chocolate. I love the chocolate as it was sweet but not overwhelmingly sweet.

Now, here comes the main course - Spinach and Bacon Quiche (RM 9), Mushroom and Onion Quiche (RM 9), Beef Rendang Cornish (RM 9).

I actually prefer this  Spinach and Bacon Quiche specially when it is still warm.

It is soft, eggy, and tasty!

Dessert time!

Humming Bird Cake - RM9 & Classic Choclate Cake - RM9

Guinness Chocolate Cake RM9, Lemon Mousse Pot - RM6, Baked Cheesecake - RM8

The Guinness Chocolate Cake tastes so much like the chinese ‘huat kuih’, except for the fact that it has more moist, more chocolate and with Guinness!

Sunway Giza is really blooming with more and more food joints, first I visited Cravings, then Waroeng Mas Timoer, and then this Pot Luck Shabu-Shabu.

And you know what? All these 3 places have specials for lunch! So, it is definitely better and more worth it during lunch.

The quite grand entrance, in fact, it was the waiter who attracted our attention. He was introducing and explaining their buffet lunch which is only at RM12.80, and it is ALL YOU CAN EAT.

The business was still quiet as I was there about 12pm while the Wong Kok next door was already having quite some customers.

Once you step in, you can see plates and plates of vegetables and meatballs on the conveyor belt. The dishes incluce: vegetables, mushrooms, chicken meat, beef, mutton, eggs, noodles and some clams.

Sunway Giza is apparently one of the hittest place in town - blooming with endless eateries. Other than the tall monster burger, there is Indonesian food too!

And one of the hidden gem I have discovered recently is this Waroeng Mas Timoer, serving quite authentic Indonesian cuisine. It is quite unique and not similar to Bali-bali chain kind of food.

Teh Botol Sosro -The famous drink in Indonesia.

I can’t quite describe the taste, to me it tastes like a mixture of gas-less Sarsi and Jasmine tea. The after-taste is quite strong.

Soup ekor or Buntut Sapi 

The meat in the soup is tender, and the soup is light yet sweet. When I added  a little bit of chili into the soup, it tasted even better with a zing!

The chili sauces available at the restaurant. Love the kicap one the most!

Appetizer - Grilled Sotong or Cumi Cumi

I really love this dish! There is a very nice fragrance of grilled and slightly burnt smell of the sotong that made it smell REAL good!  And the sotong is springy and not rubbery at all!

Deep Fried Flying Fish - Ikan Kerapu Goreng

I have been reading and seeing so many pictures of this flying fish on the Bali posts from other blogs, now I can easily have it here without flying to Bali.

The meat is still fresh and juicy after being fried, and the batter tastes even better! I was told that the all the fish are bought from Selayang market to ensure the freshness of the fish.

Terung Goreng Balado

I am quite a fan of brinjal (although I am allergic to it, it makes my mouth itchy but I still eat it!). This is quite an easy to prepare dish at home, provided you have the right chilli to go with. The chili paste in this restaurant is so nice that you would rather eat it the restaurant than attempting to prepare at home! (more…)

When I heard about the chance to have a tasting session at Mama Kitchen Puchong Branch, I was overjoyed as I always visit the branch in TTDI. No doubt, I was quite familiar with their menu already.

Will the Puchong outlet carry the same quality?

Let’s find out!

The bunting at the restaurant.  I have never visited the one in Jalan Sultan though.

Here comes the star of the restaurant - Claypot Loh She Fun - RM7 (S) RM12 (M) and RM15 (L)

Ahh raw egg is a bliss, with minced meat overloaded is a double joy.

Mix everything together and you get a thick, nice meaty and eggy rat tail noodles.

Garlic Roasted Pork Wanton Noodle (烧肉面) - RM8 (S) RM12 (M) and RM16 (L)

Another favorite of mine is this roasted pork wanton noodle. There is no wanton in this, but it is loaded with caramelized roasted pork. It is sweet and crispy, and full garlic fragrance.

Assam Fish (亚三金凤鱼 ) - Seasonal price applies

The fish was really fresh! I remember seeing 6 fish in the fish tank when I sat down, but before I left, I counted again and only 5 were left. I wonder where the fish had gone to.

The assam gravy of this dish really triggered my appetite and white rice is definitely the dish’s best friend.
