Nippori Bistro @ Petaling Jaya

Posted by ijustwanaeat On 4:32 PM 2 comments

My numerous attempt to dine at Nippori failed due to MCO in 2020. Finally, by Nov and Dec 2021, I made my 2 visits here.

The most attention-grabbing has to be the giant-sized Fat Monalisa that greets you as you step in.

I personally really liked this chicken. Crunchy chicken with fragrant taste, with tad sweetness that comes from their homemade honey garlic sauce.

Garlic Honey Karaage. Price-RM32

This is no wonder their best seller, maki roll topped with mentaiko mayo, slightly torched and drizzled with sweet sauce.

Salmon Mentai. Price-RM38

This served well as appetizer. Fine cuts of crab sticks with diced avocado mixed together with mayonnaise, wasabi, topped with spring onion, and tobiko. Another fancy dish that tasted good.

Unstoppable Avo. Price-RM35

On both visits, I had the Spicy Olive Seafood pizza. Its filled with assorted seafood, olives, and just love the crispy pizza dough. Taste-wise, well balanced between the dough, cheese, and the seafood.

Spicy Olive Seafood Pizza. Price-RM46

Wagyu bolognese tasted good though I must say the minced beef and tomato sauce tasted really good. Portion wise, would have been better if the portion is slighty bigger.

Wagyu Bolognese Pasta. Price-RM32

Squid lovers should definitely opt for this pasta - Squid Ink pasta. Juicy squid that went well with the squid ink spaghetti.

Squid Ink Seafood. Price-RM48

Overall, really liked the ambiance of Nippori, not forgetting to mention there are just too many instagrammable spots, both inside and outside of Nippori.

Verdict : Price wise is on the high side, but the good food quality and the nice environments makes me feel its worth the visit.

Fluffed Cafe @ Paramount, Petaling Jaya

Posted by ijustwanaeat On 2:57 PM 0 comments

I was trigged to open up my inactive Blogspot account and noticed this draft that I had all along since 2019. And glad that FLUFFED stood through the MCO period, when uncountable of F&B outlets had no choice but to cease operation.

Excuse the photos that may be outdated. I could confidently vow that FLUFFED is the F&B that I have been to, the most times. Easily between 15-20 times.

This place is no stranger to the Paramount neighborhood. Their business is so good, that it surely isn't a good idea to choose to go on Friday nights or weekends.

Pick any cake, any waffle, there's nothing that could go wrong.

The crisp edge of their waffle, yet thick enough, would definitely make you wanting for more with every bite. I can vow, the best waffle that I've tried.

Rose lychee cloud cake, always favorite cake to go to

Their tiramisu, different from Alexis's version, but tastes equally good. Light sponge cake, combined with the cheese in between, quoted by caramelized almonds.

Tiramisu

I've tried so many of its waffles and I really liked Pooh Bear's Favorite. All their ice-cream is home-made and this came with the Hokey Pokey ice-cream, crushed honeycomb and almond praline, salted caramel and fresh fruits.

Pooh Bear's Favorite. Price-RM20

Being a mango lover, this is one of the waffles that I ordered most frequently. Beauty & The Beast. This comes with 4 pieces cocoa waffle, mango panna cotta, a scoop of mango ice-cream, mango compote, butter crumble and fresh mango chunks.

Beauty and The Beast. Price-RM24

Verdict : Any time or day that you crave for cakes, or waffle, this is the place to be.

Encore @ Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, KL

Afternoon tea set at Taman Tun area - what a nice suggestion. At times I felt the afternoon tea sets in hotel are way overpriced, and this for a change seems like the ideal fit for me.

Walked in to this cosy looking cafe.

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.

This was the ala-carte items that is available. How I wish I have another stomach for these. Hehe.

So appetizing

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

Verdict : The ideal afternoon tea place, at affordabl e price.

The Home Cooking Dishes @ Sg Way, Petaling Jaya

Posted by ijustwanaeat On 10:36 AM 0 comments

An outing for lunch on Friday is something I look forward to more, recently. Come across a restaurant that has good reviews on Google Reviews.

Colleagues and I made our way here - Sg Way Petaling Jaya. Called the night earlier to reserve table, however, was informed that no table reservation accepted.

This post is based on coming to the same restaurant 2 Fridays in a row, which means the food is good and we really liked it.

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.

The Fu Yong fried egg were tasty, and we really like it. As much as it tasted great, just thought its a tad expensive for a egg dish.

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

Claypot Tofu was my least favorite. Gravy was good, comes with vege and roast pork, but the tofu was a little tasteless.

We ordered the Bittergourd with roast pork just because the roast pork wasn't available for ordering o its own, hence we took it as a combination to bittergourd. This tasted alright.
Brinjal with long beans had the right flavors, cooked well.

The other dish that we had 2 weeks in a row was the Morning Glory with prawns. It has the 'wok hei', shrimp sauce that made it flavorful, and in addition, crunchiness of the vege maintained.

From Top Right Clockwise : Claypot Tofu Price-RM20.80; Bittergourd with Roast Pork Price-RM22.80; Brinjal with Long Beans Price-RM22.80; Morning Glory with Prawns Price-RM20.80

We had a wonderful lunch, and its ideal for group, as we could sample variety of dishes. What amazes me was that, the chef/boss alone could manage all the cooking for the amount of crowd that patrons his restaurant.

Verdict : Everything tasted good (except for the tofu).

Must Have :
1. Black Vinegar Pork Trotter
2. Morning Glory
3. Claypot Ginger Chicken

Kompassion Thai Food @ Damansara Kim, Petaling Jaya

Posted by ijustwanaeat On 1:21 AM 0 comments

As much as I love authentic Thai food, a change to Thai fusion food offering is a good change.

This row of shoplot at Damansara Kim has quite a number of good F&B outlets, which makes parking during weekdays at this area can be quite a challenge.

My colleagues & I decided to have set lunch and add on some items from the ala-carte menu.

What interest me from the menu - salad that says beansprout , and it comes with avocado. The slight sourness and the natural sweetness from the ingredients, makes u want to have more. What an interesting way to use beansprout, which is my first ever - and visually, this salad looks so good.

Avocado Beansprout Salad. Price-RM15.90

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

Crispy Boneless Chicken. Price-RM26

Not sure of which pork we'd like, we ordered the platter that combined Roasted Pork, Grilled Pork and Pork Loin - the marination was done well, and its tasty to the bones. The meat was tender and juicy.

Pork Platter. Price-RM100

These are some of the set lunches (comes with side salad and a drink) that we had.

Curry Pork Belly with rice. Price-RM16

Grilled Lemongrass Chicken with Coconut Rice. Price-RM24

The tomyam noodle comes with angel hair - but I requested to change to meehoon. They are generous with the seafood portion and the taste of the soup was on point. I like the combination of spiciness and the sourness, a taste that wow-ed me.

Seafood Tom Yum Noodle. Price-RM16

Taste wise, overall satisfactory.

Ambiance, neat and clean. The kind of atmosphere I would like to dine in.

Simple and comfy set-up

Verdict : Great place to have Thai food, with a twist.

Tujoh @ Section 17, PJ

Posted by ijustwanaeat On 11:04 PM 0 comments

Group birthday lunch led us to Kafe Tujoh, tuck within the neighborhood of Section 17, which I never knew existed.

Getting a car park may be quite a challenge at this area, during lunch time.

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.

Ah Meng Bah Kut Teh @ Klang

Posted by ijustwanaeat On 12:30 AM 0 comments

A craving over a taste I that had not had for at least pass 6 years, got me to suggest my family to come for lunch last Sunday.

Take note of the signage by the side

Super busy crowd on a Sunday, around 11am+

Nothing much has changed since the last I've been here, with exception that more kids are helping out. Owner's children has growned up, I suppose.

Spot the owner

Despite the over-crowded customers, the service were exceptionally quick. We ordered mixture of meat with fat. The claypot did not arrived piping hot, however, that did not take away of the deliciousness of this bowl of bah kut teh. The most important parts, the soup and the meat were perfection. Meat were so tender, with just the right amount of fats, and the thickness of the soup was so rich and was exactly what I liked. I enjoyed each spoonful as I savor the soup and meat, together with rice, which made my tummy so happy.

I liked the fact that it was filled with so much of other ingredients, which I rarely get from other places - it has enough button mushroom, fu chuk (beancurd skin), lettuce and pig stomach. Nothing that I don't like in this pot of bah kut teh.

Portion for 3

The rice was so fragrant, seasoned well with shallot oil, and when eaten with fried shallots - added the extra yumminess.

My yummy rice

Price list

The total bill for 4 rice, sharing bah kut teh with portion meant for 3 came up to RM48.50. (with us that brought along our own tea).

Verdict : This is one of the nicest claypot bah kut teh I've tried. The soup tasted really rich and every bite got me thinking of how much collagen I've consumed. Thumbs up.
