The Porki Society, Sea Park PJ

Date visited : 22 September 2017

Today was one of those days where we planned to go one place but ended up at another. So this is yet another surprise discovery.

When we drove pass, the signboard just screamed "TRY ME"... and then we did.

It was a very cozy and casual Thai restaurant with colourful wooden furniture.

The first thing that caught our attention when we opened our menu was this...

This is their best seller, the Porki Platter. It was pork served in 5 different ways... pork skewers, grilled pork, pork sausage, pork ball sticks and squid stuffed with minced pork. The dipping sweet, sour and spicy dipping sauce elevates the deliciousness of the meat on this platter. Each type was tasty in its own special flavour.

Since we ordered the platter and there were only 3 of us, I decided to order boat noodles instead.

Only one of it was mine... It was only RM2 a bowl!

But in case you're not familiar with boat noodles, the portion is actually very small... some could eat up to 20 bowls in one sitting.

My husband decided to try one of the all time favourite Thai dish... the Pineapple Fried Rice.

This is not one of those that only have a slight pineapple flavouring to the fried rice. It has chunks of pineapple added with the fried rice.

We also ordered a side of Thai Spring Rolls. It comes with its own sweet and sour dipping sauce with peanuts.

When I go to a Thai restaurant, I will always look out for their popular dessert, the Red Ruby. So this time is no different.

What I appreciated most about it was the sugar syrup given separately in a little container. This way, we are able to adjust the level of sweetness according to individual preferences. However, the red jelly that wraps around the chestnut is a little hard for my liking. But on overall, it was still a decent Red Ruby.

I'm glad we discovered this place because I will definitely come back to this place to try out other dishes. I saw the Pad Thai ordered by the table next to us and it looked delicious.

Mee Rebus Pak Chop, Kg Subang

Date visited : 19 August 2017

This is going to be a short but super delicious review because I'll be focusing only on one item... Mee Rebus!

I usually don't eat yellow mee because it has a certain smell and taste to it that I simply dislike. However, this place has made me put that dislike aside and turn it to almost an addiction. It only happens at this place and no other place... Mee Rebus Pak Chop.

I was introduced to this place a few years back by a foodie friend and since then, this has become my MUST go to place when I'm near Kg Subang or craving for Mee Rebus.

To me, this is the BEST Mee Rebus I've ever eaten. There are a few types of Mee Rebus in Malaysia and this is the Northern style Mee Rebus.

Just by looking at the photo makes me drool.😋

The gravy is thick and flavourful. The fried ingredients are my favourite because it becomes so tasty when eaten together with the gravy. One of the fried ingredient do taste a bit sourish... but that's normal, so don't worry.

They also have other food items available such as Ayam Penyet, Mee Goreng and Fried Kuey Teow. I've only sampled the Fried Kuey Teow once and it's quite tasty too.

Since this place is a simple food stall and not air-conditioned, it gets a bit hot in the afternoon. So if you're going to visit this place, do come prepared.

👍👍👍👍👍

Yellow Apron, Sect 13 PJ

Date of visit : 24 December 2016

It's Christmas Eve and we were cracking our heads for a place that serves good food but not overly congested and fairly priced to have a peaceful family dinner. After much thought, my sister decided to recommend the Yellow Apron in Section 13, PJ. Since it was a rainy evening, I didn't get to take my own photo of the premise, so I had to borrow one.

It was spacious, not crowded and with great ambience. The staff was very friendly as they were full of smiles and kept checking with us if everything was alright. Most of their selection on their menu comes with an option for a smaller portion at a slightly lower price. It was very thoughtful of them to have that kind of option especially for the small eaters and for those wanting to try different dishes at the same time.

Now let's see what we had...

Since I have a soft spot for salted egg, I chose The Lip-Smacking Salted Egg Seafood Spaghetti Carbonara (that's what they called it on their menu). It was delicious and the taste of the salted egg was not too overwhelming. The anchovies for me was a good addition to this dish.

And this is what they call a Mademoiselle Melca's Chicken Adobo. It's a classic Filipino dish and it's worth trying.

Wait till you hear the name for this dish... The Classic Not Classic Tagliatelle Lamb Sausage Bolognese. It was alright but the taste of the bolognese was a bit too sour for me.

Next would be The Fantastically Fusion Fried Chicken Burger. It was completed with a touch of sambal belacan to make the burger a bit more Asian and a very generous portion of home made potato chips.

And this is The Dua Dua Beef Burger. I didn't get to taste it so I can't comment much on this. But since my sister did not complain about it, I guess it was acceptable.

Let me present to you the Musang King Pie. Since I'm not a fan of processed durian, my Brother In-Law told me that this was a really awesome durian pie. Maybe the durian lovers out there should give it a try.

Another plus point for this place is that it is spacious enough to cater for private and corporate events. Do check it out and let me know what you think about this place and what you would recommend differently.

OUR RATING

Ambience : 4.5/5
Service : 5/5
Food Quality : 3.5/5 (It's good but not awesome)
Value for Money : 3.5/5 (The choice for a cheaper smaller portion was a good idea though)

Kenny Hills Bakers, Bukit Tunku KL

Date of visit : 4 December 2016

I think the best scent in the world is the smell of freshly baked bread and pastries.

This place has bread and pastries to die for. Just take a look at some of their selections available for you to just pick off the tray for a takeaway or a eat in with a cup of your favourite coffee or tea...

Even the scones are awesome! In case you don't know... good scones are really hard to find. It's slightly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Together with some good quality salted butter and some jam... it taste heavenly!

My pick of the day was the Vietnamese Banh Mi... And if you would also like to try some other stuff, I would advise you to share this portion with another person.

And if you're looking for something a little bit more heavy, you can give their All Day Breakfast a try too... Those are beef bacon and chickpeas... in case you were wondering.

I was told that the pizzas are awesome too but unfortunately, I didn't have enough stomach space to cater for the pizzas and desserts. I shall use this as an excuse to come back again.
