I Just Wana Eat

They have the afternoon set priced at RM60 for 2 pax, and we ordered 2 sets.
The combination of pastries were just right - the portions and varieties were spot on. The set consisted of mini tarts, scones, tiramisu, sandwich, quiche, croissants, strudels. How very appetizing.

Overall, all tasted really good and they are not overly sweet. The price of it was surely a sweetener to the whole experience. If I had to choose, I must say, I particularly liked the salted caramel chocolate mini tart, tiramisu, and mini quiche. The type of items may differ across different sets.

Enjoying the moment, and I love the gold and white used for deco of Encore

Busy lunch crowd

Started with char siu - tender pork with sweet sauce, good start. Had good amount of fats within, and as good as it taste, it however lacks the caramel-ness that sticks to part of the meat, or some burnt parts, that I particularly fancy.

Fu Yong Egg. Price - RM18.80

Claypot ginger chicken was one of my favorite. Chicken meat was tender, sauce and taste was of the right combination. The thickness of sauce was perfect to go with rice.

Claypot Ginger Chicken. Price-RM26.80

Super favorite was this Black Vinegar Pork Trotter - the sourness that comes with slight sweetness gave a really good kick to my senses once I sipped the soup. Each sip had me thinking, its sour, but its so good. Not a fan of fatty meat, but I sure know its a good source of collagen. Take it anyhow.

Black Vinger Pork Trottle. Price-RM20

Sweet & Sour Pork - taste was good, but texture is missing that slight crunchiness that I like. However, still a good dish.

Sweet & Sour Chicken. Price-RM22.80

Avocado Beansprout Salad. Price-RM15.90

As appetizer, we had the crispy boneless chicken. Tasty, yet a little oily for my liking. 

Here it is, Kafe Tujoh

Some seats outside, for customers to chill

Busy during lunch time

I particularly like this skylight centrepiece, giving a good level of space within. The antique-like deco adds touch to this cafe, which was mainly made-up by old TV and radio sets. There were also movie inspired art piece that made-up their wall deco. 

My favorite part of the cafe

On the afternoon, we had the appetizer for sharing. Both were great tasting. The Cajun Sweet Potatoes and Boxing Chicken. The sweet potatoes was fried well - giving us the crunchiness, and the natural sweetness, a good change from the ordinary fries.  

Cajun Sweet Potatoes. Price-RM10

The popcorn chicken was marinated well, and each bite of it were tasty. 

Popcorn Chicken. Price-RM10

 I had the Tujoh Pan Fried Chicken. I requested the potatoes to be changed to salad. Overall this tasted fine - chicken was pan fried well, despite seeing some slight 'redness' within the bones. Red cabbage-slaw (instead of the normal coleslaw), was alright. 

Tujoh Pan Fried Chicken. Price-RM25

Colleague had the Potato dumpling al Pomidoro - served with homemade vegetarian tomato sauce. As part of lunch set, it comes with Lemonade drink. However, the sauce looks too thick for my liking. 

Potato Dumpling. Price-RM12

The more interesting dish were this dish served as part of set lunch which includes a Summer Lemonade - the creamy Seafood Tomyum. It was delectable to the palate, and has the tinge of coconut milk, mixed with the sourness from tom yum - truly appetizing. Seafood portion within was generous. 

Creamy Seafood Tomyum. Price-RM18

 The Carbonara has the right level of creaminess - and was tasty. 

Infamous Carbonara. Price-RM18

The breakfast was rather ordinary - has the must-haves within a plate - scrambled eggs, bacon and mushroom (despite the amount of mushroom wasn't that visible), sausage, toasted bread and some greens. 

Full Aussie. Price - RM25

Verdict : Selective dish that is must-have such as Creamy Seafood Tomyum. I'll return for its ambiance and to try their coffee. For the price of the breakfast set, it needs improvement.

The one dish that got us nodding non-stop was the BBQ Talapia Fish with Salt. It was grilled to perfection with the flesh tasting so fresh, and with just the right level of being cooked. The salt by the side on certain part of the skin added extra ummph, and not forgetting, the green chilli sauce. 

BBQ Talapia Fish with Salt. Price-RM49.90

The 2 desserts to end our meal, the Tup Tim Krob and the Mango Sticky rice. The waterchestnut was of the right size, crunchy with just enough coating (I've tried many with way too thick coating that gave me way too much slimy taste, and with insufficient waterchestnut to bite), and topped with stripes of jackfruit. I really enjoyed this. 

Tup Tim Krob. Price-RM6.90

Last but not least, the Mango Sticky Rice- the mango was so sweet, and accompanied by the sticky rice with the right texture, drizzled by coconut milk - also one of the best I've tried. 

Mango Sticky Rice. Price-RM10.90

The drinks were left out from my photos - but seriously, their milk tea needs to be in the must order list. Not to sweet, yet with the aromatic tea taste. 

Verdict : The ambiance and the food taste deserved many thumbs up. It is also a very clean restaurant, and spacious. A well suited place for gatherings, to those who enjoys Thai food.

Simple, old restaurant yet keeps you coming back

I barely remembered what I had previously, but I remembered it was good taste of home-cooked food. As one stepped in, one would realized there's nothing fancy about the restaurant but plain simplicity. The service was certainly one of the quickest that I've experienced in a restaurant.  

For choice of vegetables, we went with the option recommended which was the Kailan with Salted Fish. It was indeed one of the best I've tried. The Kailan was so fresh, and tasted crunchy, has strong wok-hei and good amount of salted fish within. 

Kailan with Salted Fish. Price-RM15

I'm pretty fascinated by how this fried egg was made. It was made with layers of egg white with choy pou ie. preserved radish. The egg were so soft and as we cut through, the raw egg yolk that tops it, melts through the egg. Yummy.. I can finish this all by myself. 

Choy Pou Egg.  Price-RM15

The Threadfin Fish @ Ma Yau, was deep fried and texture of skin was so crispy. The simple soya sauce with oil was used as seasoning, and the freshness of the fish was apparent. The thinly fried sliced shredded ginger gave it extra ummph. 

Mayou Fish. Price-RM27

Potatoes is one of my favorite food.They sliced it thinly and braised it with sliced pork - the potatoes was just nice - soft enough, and the sauce was just perfect to go with our rice. The taste was tad sweet, but it is fine by me.
