Fluffed Cafe @ Paramount, Petaling Jaya

Posted by ijustwanaeat On 2:57 PM 1 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Excuse the photos that may be outdated.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.

The Home Cooking Dishes @ Sg Way, Petaling Jaya

Posted by ijustwanaeat On 10:36 AM 2 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 1 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.

Restoran Ping Wah @ Paramount Garden, Petaling Jaya

Posted by ijustwanaeat On 6:53 PM 1 comments

I remembered going to this Hainanese restaurant about 10 years ago, and suggested my colleagues to come here for lunch, since Paramount is one of the convenient location for us. .

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.

Potato with Pork. Price-RM15

Verdict :
The place to go to, when you want a taste of home cooked food.

Ah Tuan Ee's Place @ The Curve, Petaling Jaya

Posted by ijustwanaeat On 11:45 PM 1 comments

The Curve is a place I frequent for choice of F&B outlets.

After this many times, it was my first dining experience at Ah Tuan Ee's, I suppose the feeling to have Peranakan food came to us.

The heritage looking entrance seemed to gave us a warm welcome. Nice ambiance with nice decoration around the restaurant.

The wooden door that greeted us

Clean restaurant

Pai Tee that came with lots of slow cooked turnip, shreds of carrot and spring onion is one of my favorite Nyonya appetizer. This one at Ah Tuan Ee was one of the best I've tried, mainly due to the fragrant slow cooked turnip, and the very crispy thin and crispy shell that held the vegetables together.

Pai Tee

I ordered the fried tung hoon noodle. I like the wok taste, and it was tasty, and came with lots of ingredients, that included prawns, beansprout, squid and lots of egg.

Fried Tung Hoon

The green curry chicken was a pleasant discovery. It has a mild green curry taste, and a prominent lime taste that made this such an appetizing order. Only comment is that I wish they have cut the chicken to smaller pieces.

Green Curry Chicken.

Verdict :

Overall, this restaurant has delivered a satisfactory meal to us.

Awesome Canteen @ Taman Paramount, Petaling Jaya

Posted by ijustwanaeat On 5:49 PM 0 comments

Awesome Canteen. What a lovely name to a F&B outlet. The presence of this restaurant cum cafe had somehow lifted the image of the otherwise old looking shoplots at Taman Paramount.

Ideal for photo opportunities

The glass door and window used permit lots of natural sunlight into the cafe, whilst the lights that are hanging from the ceiling gave a more natural feeling and warmness to Awesome Canteen.

Love the use of light boxes with artistic images, canteen like seating, especially the chairs, and lots of plants within.

Inside Awesome Canteen

While waiting for all to reach, I had their Carrot Cake. It had a good balance of carrot and raisin, fluffy enough, with tinge of cinnamon smell, and completed well with cream cheese frosting.

Carrot Cake.

I liked their teabag tea that offered me just the right balance of taste and smell between the lemongrass and ginger.

Lemongrass & Ginger Tea. Price-RM9.90

Who wouldn't be a happy with a plate of fries for sharing? Love the thickness of the fries, dipped in the special sauce.

Basket of Fries. Price-RM8.90

The beef burger served with Rocky Blue cheese tasted absolutely delicious. Meat was so juicy and marinated so well, accompanied by fries and coleslaw gave my lunch mate a fulfilling meal,

Beef - Rocky Blue Cheese Burger. Price-RM26.90

I had their butterfish. Grilled to perfection, I could feel the firm texture of the fish. The fried sweet potatoes and grilled prawns were absolutely yummy, and the sauce that accompanied this dish definitely deserved a thumbs up.

Paleo Butterfish. Price-RM27.90

My SIL highly recommended their Tofu Salad which was certainly something outside the norm. It was a delight to tried this salad. It was filled with sengkuang, tofu, lettuce, almond, pine nuts, purple cabbage, and cucumber. I perhaps missed out some ingredients too, but importantly, this was soo extremely good. The sauce striked a balance between sweetness and sourish.

Tofu Salad. Price-RM19.90

Verdict : Awesome place to chill with friends. Nice homemade cakes, and one of a kind Tofu Salad.
