Bounty-full


When it comes to beef ribs, you can always count on Tony Roma's to tantalize your taste buds with his bountiful beef ribs. Not only is it cheaper compared with Victoria Station or Jake's, but it is so tasty and scrumptious like those expensive steaks you can find in those exclusive restaurants. You can choose this ribs with or without its bones. In my opinion, its better if you take the ribs with their bones together because you'll end up getting more meat compared to the boneless one's.

When ordering this meal, you can choose any two side dishes to accompany your beef ribs. You can choose from corn on the cob, French fries, baked potatoes, coleslaw and much more.




As a tradition, you'll be given the famous Tony Roma's barbecue sauces to dip that juicy, tender beef or you can savor your beef just as it is and don't forget to get those bips on before you make your way into the beef ribs...

This is a must try for newbies to this restaurant...

Mdm. Kwan's


Yesterday i went to visit Madam Kwan's restaurant situated in KLCC or Kuala Lumpur City Center at level 4 next to Petrosains. This restaurant have been a place where food lovers would go to savor the great tasting dishes from local to international cuisines.

For starters , pictured here is the deep fried prawn fritters. Served with tartar sauce, and garnished with garden vegetables. The prawn's size portion is just nice, it's tender and yummy...




This dish is called Nasi Bojari or Bojari rice. This is one of the best seller in Madam Kwan's. A must try for those planning to visit Madam Kwan's for the first time. Fragrant Bojari rice served with whole chicken thigh and drumstick accompanied by beef rendang and acar udang. The side dishes really compliments the rice. I have to warn though, the chicken is huge..





Next is the Malaysian all time favourites, the chicken rice or nasi ayam in malay. Of course you can get other types of chicken rice outside, but what makes this chicken rice different from other chicken rice is that it is served with soft shitake mushrooms. Therefore it is called mushroom chicken rice. The chicken is steamed and served with a light soya sauce. This dish is also accompanied with 2 other sauces which is the chilli paste and garlic sauce. The chicken is extremely tender and it melts in your mouth. ahh...




This dish is called Cantonese Kuey tiaw. Its simple, healthy and filling. The Kuey tiaw is first fried up with soya sauce before the gravy is made. The gravy is made out of either chicken or beef stock, eggs, and corn flour for the thickening agent. There is huge chunks of chicken, skinless prawns and squids. It is eaten simply the way it is or accompanied by cut chillies (extremely HOT!) in soya sauce.

Difference between speaking and listening


Its amazing how our brain perceives what is spoken to us. Wrong message could give others the wrong idea's...

On a recent visit to Langkawi Island with my friend, i continued my journey searching for great places that serves scrumptious foods on this hot n sunny island besides the typical activity which is shopping. Not far away from where i am staying, situated in Pantai Cenang, is a restaurant called Rasa. With a Balinese infused concept blended with local malay settings, this place is decent and relaxing. Besides that, they produce good foods at an affordable price.




There is a special place right outside the restaurant created specially for barbecuing fresh seafoods such as Tiger prawns, crabs and a variety of fishes for customers to choose from. Here customers choose their seafoods first before the type of cooking is being chosen. Customers can simply barbeque it or let it be cooked by the chef.






Pictured here is the Garlic butter prawn. Deep fried with a special batter, this prawn is later cooked with garlic butter sauce to accompany the prawns. Believe me, it is very delicious.









This is deep fried squid served with sweet Thai chili sauce. Simple food yet very filling. I recommend this meal to be accompanied with any kind of fried rice or just plain steamed rice.








What would a trip to Malaysia be (tourist) without ever tasting the famous Char Kuey Tiaw. Cooked in soya sauce, this is the all time favorites by local Malaysians. A must have on the list when tourist are planning to visit Malaysia.






Therefore, those who are planning to visit Langkawi should pay a visit to Rasa restaurant situated in Pantai Cenang. It's situated right next to the road and can easily be spotted.

Haagen Daz...

When I'm having sugar cravings, the place i would recommend and visit would be Haagen Daz. Nothing beats Haagen Daz for having the best ice cream in the world. Pictured above are warm Belgian waffles served with 2 scoops of ice cream, What a beginning to treat those sugar cravings of mine. "yummy.." But for those of you who are looking for a guilt free ice cream, i would recommend their fruit sorbets. At first you may thought it will be sour, but i reckon visitors to try it out because it is very delicious even though it is reduced in fat. The taste is simply out of this world. Picture below is the sorbet i was talking about. Try it out and you won't regret it..

Thai affair....


Yesterday, my family members payed a visit to Absolute Thai in Ikano Power Center to get some Thai fixes, you know what i mean...

I ordered stir friend noodles with prawns, it was very light but was satisfying at the same time. Uniquely, it was served with crushed peanuts that was supposed to be mixed together with the noodles. But i find it weird therefore i set it aside.







To accompany my noodle, we ordered a dish called weeping tiger. I wonder why such name is used. Did i go and weep? yeah. The tender meat cooked in a gravy served with mix vegetables in a hot plate really got me weeping for more. Within 5 minutes, it was clean and clear. You can imagine how good it was...ahh









As for desert, all of us ordered the delicious and decadent mouth watering water chestnut in coconut milk topped with preserved jack fruit. I recommend to all those whom are going to pay a visit to this restaurant to try out this fabulous desert. Now that's what i call uniquely Thailand !...
