Sun Raj Curry House, Petaling Garden PJ

Date visited : 28 June 2017

This is one of my favourite go to restaurant during my weekday lunchtime to fulfill my craving for simple Indian food... Sun Raj Curry House. It's within 10 minutes drive from Bangsar South, so if you're working nearby, this is another lunch option for you.

The reason why I like this place so much is because of the wide spread of meatless dishes. I wouldn't exactly label it vegetarian because some ethnic groups have different expectation for vegetarian dishes. 

You can choose between normal white rice or parboiled rice. For a more healthier option, I usually will choose the parboiled rice.

However, they do serve meat dishes as well, it's just that the selection is limited. These are some of the spicy meat selection...

Other than these, they also have order-to-fry such as, fish, chicken and squid.

You can also choose from a variety of curries to pour over your rice... chicken curry, fish curry, dhal and even salted fish curry.

Every time I come here, I do have difficulty in deciding what dishes to choose as most of the dishes looked so appealing.

My plate will usually with less rice but a mountain high of vegetable dishes and once in awhile, a fried fish as well.

Just a note of caution... a fulfilling meal here in the afternoon may cause drowsiness at work!

Pork Satay @ Satay Cina Thoo Yuen, PJ Old Town

Date visited : 21 May 2017

Are you craving for some satay... but NON-Halal ones? Well, if you are, then you should definitely try this. 

To those who don't know what Satay is... it's a dish of marinated, skewered and grilled meat served with a sauce. Satay is a very popular dish in Malaysia and it is usually served with cucumbers, onions and even compressed rice or better known as Nasi Impit. In Malaysia, the commonly used meat for satay are chicken, mutton and beef. In some places you will also have uncommon meat like rabbit and deer... and for Chinese operated stalls, you may also find pork meat. Satay in Malaysia are mainly served with thick and chunky peanut sauce.

This round we will introduce to you the NON-Halal, pork satay, at Gerai Satay Cina Thoo Yuen.

This stall is located within the PJ Old Town Food Court, Stall No 36. This stall is run by an elderly couple who have been serving satay here for more than 30 years now. The stall is well maintained and very clean.

Since we arrive quite early, we were able to avoid the dinner crowd and got our orders fulfilled really fast. This time, we ordered both the pork and the mutton satay.

The best thing about these satay was there were no chunks of fat on the meat. The meat on each stick was purely juicy and tender. Some may usually find the taste of mutton overwhelming but this is not the case for the mutton satay here.

The peanut sauce served with their satay has an extra kick in their taste, This is because there is cili padi and dried chilli added in the mix. But don't worry, it's not very spicy. If you run out of sauce, you can always ask them for more.

Restoran R Cheng Fei Zhou Yu Wan Tan Mee, Rawang

Date visited : 13 May 2017

Our next stop is Rawang!

I don't visit Rawang very often as it is considered far from where I live. But when I have the chance, I'll try to stop by this place for lunch. This place is not very easy to find as it is located within a housing area.

When you mention the place Rawang among the foodies, the first thing that most likely comes to their mind would be Steamed Tilapia fish. There are a few popular ones in Rawang but I personally prefers this one... Restoran R Cheng Fei Zhou Yu Wan Tan Mee. 

It has a rather long name to remember. The only thing you need to remember from the name of the restaurant is Fei Zhou Yu (means Tilapia) and Wan Tan Mee.

Their signature dish is obviously the Steamed Tilapia served with Wan Tan Mee. Everyone gets 1 whole Tilapia each and you have 6 flavours to choose from Dark Soy Sauce, Taucu aka Fermented Yellow Soybean Paste Sauce, Golden Needle Mushroom, Deep Fried, Tomyam and Curry. You are also given an option to add Lala (clams) alongside with the Tilapia and Wan Tan Mee.

The one I ordered this time was the Taucu Steamed Tilapia.

And my husband ordered the Deep Fried Tilapia with additional Lala.

If you think the portion is too big for you, you could always order 1 for 2 to share.

Other than the Tilapia Wan Tan Mee dishes, you could also order regular dishes to be eaten with plain rice as well. Their menu is written in chinese but don't worry... their menu has photos of all the dishes. So if you can't speak chinese, just point at the photos to order or you could just ask the person taking your order.

Casa Rosa, Mont Kiara

Dated visited : 10 May 2017

This is one of my favourite place to have a nice and fancy meal with important people in my life. My first 2 visits here were 2 years apart and both my Birthday treat from the same person. So this place is really special to me.

This is not a very common place that you can spot by the road side or in any commercial areas. It's located within the compound of Mont Kiara Pines Condo. 

You just have to inform the guardhouse that you're going to Casa Rosa and they'll let you in with a visitors pass. Just drive straight in towards the clubhouse and you'll see the visitor's parking and the entrance to Casa Rosa.

Since it's within a condo compound, you won't expect to see an overwhelming crowd at this place. That makes the atmosphere very private, peaceful and cozy.

Once you've placed your orders, they'll usually serve you complimentary bread and butter.

Let's begin with the starters and soup...

This is the Beef Nachos. It may look like a total mess and so not Instagram worthy, but it's delicious.

If you're wondering why the colour of this Garlic Bread is like that, that's because we requested for it to be a bit more toasted.

My youngest sister loves mushroom soup, so she had to order the Homemade Fresh Mushroom Soup. Her comment for it's good but not awesome.

This is one of my favourite here, the Oxtail Stew With Toast. It comes in 2 sizes, regular and large. The regular is enough for 2 to share whereas the large is enough for 4. It tastes almost like a beef flavoured minestrone soup.

This the Grilled Gourmet 6 Inch Sausage. It comes in 2 pieces of sausages and served with sauteed potato and salad.

If you like salmon dishes, there are 2 selections on the menu for you to consider. If you prefer something light, you could order the Grilled Salmon & Scallops with orange & lemon thyme sauce.

However, if you prefer something stronger in taste, you could order the Grilled Salmon Arrabiata with spicy tomato and mozzarella cheese.

This is Hungarian Lamb Shank. The lamb shank is braised and served with spicy sour cream, mushroom sauce.

I will usually order the Paella when I come here because their Paella is delicious but the portion is too big for me to finish on my own. Since no one else would like to share the Paella with me, I ordered the Homemade Vegetable Strudel with pesto cream sauce instead.

And last but not least, this is the Chicken Kebab with Garlic Rice. The chicken pieces are grilled to perfection with their very own basting sauce, served with tortilla chips and hot dip.

It's not easy to describe the food here with just words, you just have to go try it out yourself. My friend's who have been here liked the food here, so I'm pretty sure you would like it too. For those who have been here but didn't like the food, maybe you could share your experiences with me.

Fatty Porridge, OUG

Date Visited : 6 May 2017

Porridge? Congee? Which is which? Some of you may be confused about this. 

When the word porridge is used, it's suppose to be an oats based recipe. Congee is a savoury porridge made with rice and has a broad recipe variety across the Asian countries. However in Malaysia, the word porridge is more commonly used compared to congee.

When it comes to porridge, most would say that it's food for the sick. But for me, everyday can be a porridge day... especially if it's Paddy Frog Porridge. I know that this particular type of porridge may not be liked by some but it is my favourite kind.

I've tried Paddy Frog Porridge in various places around Klang Valley but I personally thinks this place serves the best Paddy Frog Porridge in Klang Valley.

It's a stall located inside a kopitiam restaurant called Restoran Double Nine and the stall is only open for dinner and supper.

This stall actually serves more than Frog Porridge. I heard the steamed fish head is also good but I have never got the chance to try it yet.

This is the man behind the magic.

The porridge was so fine and smooth. It's not lumpy and not too watery.

If you're not into something spicy, you should order the Ginger Spring Onion Paddy Frog. The texture of the meat is like chicken and the gravy is delicious when it's 

My personal favourite is the Gong Pao Paddy Frog. When the gravy is mixed with the fine, smooth porridge, it's spicy but also very delicious.

Since it's an open style street seating kind of place, please don't expect air conditioning. Just dress casually, take a seat and enjoy. It's totally worth it... even if you're sweating buckets.

Strangers at 47, Sect 17 PJ

Date Visited : 16 & 30 April 2017

I've been to this place 3 times before I started this blog and it took me another 2 visits recently to gather more photos for this post. It's one of my favourite brunch place.

When I first came here, it was only 1 shop space. But now they have expanded to 2 shop space. The reason why I like this place so much is mainly because of the attentive and pleasant staff and second is because of the food. If you want something light, they have it. If you want something meatless, the have it. If you want something sweet, they have it. And this place is all about crepes! Let me show you.

This is my personal favourite... Lethal Shrooms. It's a meat free dish consists of a variety of mushrooms, spinach, caramelised onions, tomato relish and poached egg. I'll always order this on days that I don't feel like having any meat or preferred something light instead.

This is also another one of my favourite... Miss Dory. The breaded fish fillet is so delicious... crispy on the outside but soft and juicy on the inside. The potato pumpkin mash makes a great combination with the rest of the ingredients.

This is another delicious fish dish... Uncle Salmon. I usually don't prefer cooked salmon but the taste of this dish is really something else. The ingredients complimented each other so well. The best part is that the salmon is cooked so well that it doesn't have that heavy fishy taste to it.

For a much more heavier choice, you might want to consider the BBC (Big Breakfast Crepe).

If you're feeling more meaty, you could try A Hen's Crush. It's a combination of chilli baked crepe, pan seared cajun boneless chicken thigh, sweet capsicums, golden hash brown, citrus-cucumber-onion salad and house made spicy tangy sauce. This one has an additional sunny side up.

This one's a bit special... more localised. It's a special addition to their current menu... the Nasi Lemak Crepe. And as for taste wise, it's quite subjective. I like it but my brother who ordered this finds the crepe a bit out of place. Other than that, the nasi lemak itself was quite tasty.

Now it's time for dessert!

They have 9 dessert crepes for you to choose from but my favourite is the Dark Side. Again, I usually don't fancy chocolate desserts but everything is just right with this. The sweetness, the texture, the combination of flavours. It's simply delicious!
