KAMPUNGBOYCITYGAL A MALAYSIAN FOOD & TRAVEL BLOG

The big day has finally come. The dress is hanging in the closet, the cosmetic puffs and brushes are lying on the table, the strappy heels is sitting in the box, suddenly it comes to my realization that this would be my last prom. Time flies, the memory of the prom during my foundation year in Malacca still lingers in mind, and now it’s hard to accept the fact that I am graduating soon.

No comments on the food because noone comes for the food. Only complain is I ‘chiak beh pah’ because the portion is too small. Coincidently, the food served is exactly the same as what KennySia had during the Miss Malaysia Universe 2007 Pageant, he was being served with HL milk while we had syrup mawar which I think is definitely better.

Citygal doesn’t need a fairy godmother or a magic wand to have a fairy tale fantasy prom. All she need is just one person. Thanks, Kampungboy, for making my night a memorable one. I hope that our prom photos will adorn the photo albums, wallets and memories for years

p/s: To those that I missed out taking pictures with, sorry! It’s hard to locate everyone because there were too many people around. Come find me and I’ll change into my prom dress for the sake of cam whoring, ok?

Milwaukee is renowned for its cheap and great western food. Developed from the hugely popular Harley Davidson bikers from the United States, the Milwaukee Steak Corner set-up has immense potential in becoming the next great franchise in Malaysia. They are having another outlet in Kepong which has a lot of good reviews too.

The cosy ambience makes it a good spot for family and friends get together. Few weeks ago, Kampungboy’s coursemate had a birthday celebration here for petite little Yin Nean and I did not tag along because my ex school mate gathering was going on too. So, no comments on the food because he forgot which was nice and which was sucks.

Kampungboy could not keep his eyes off from this cutie pie sitting on the table beside theirs.

A long stretch of future accountants without Kampungboy because he was the cameraman. Happy belated birthday to petite little Yin Nien once again. Location map is available on Milwaukee website.

Located at ground floor of Genting Hotel, the award winning Olive is always empty. Many are feared by the refined atmosphere and plush interior, thinking that the prices must be steep.

The Olive is a trendy, elegant venue for an evening of delightful wining and dining. It sets the perfect mood for the evening while you enjoy the music of the resident band.

The resident band is playing lively hits from the 70s to serenade the night away. We are in our early 20s but somehow we enjoy jigging away to the oldies tune.

Long Island

There are choices of meat, seafood, salads, pizzas and desserts other than drinks beyond the bar. Juicy succlent wagyu beef is the house specialty. They are having a 2 course lunch special at rm 48 and a 3 course lunch special at rm 58. It is definitely a great deal for a fine dining experience at such a posn and arty ambience.

I still remember vividly that me and my cousins had a great time at Jack’s Place Singapore few years back. I never get to try them since their arrival in Malaysia because there is always other choices when it comes to dinner at One Utama.

So, I finally step my foot into this place. Jack’s Place mingles ambience to great applauses. It was bright, clean and cosy. Yellow lighting makes a perfect setting for ’sexy’ food pictures.

I pay RM 6 extra for a soup of the day, coffee and dessert during dinner time. My brocolli and carrot soup tasted more like a MSG laden soup with teeny weeny bits of greens and oranges.

Munlin was craving for some juicy steak but she was too greedy to settle with just beef, so she opted for the mixed grill. (RM 30) You get a taste of everything: bacon, steak, lamb, chicken, sausage and sunny side up. The lamb was overcooked that she finds it hard to sink her tooth on it.

Chicken Mushroom Spaghetti (RM 14) that Lee Ping had was cooked to perfection. The spaghetti was tossed together with the creamy sauce and topped with some grilled chicken and musroom. She gave two thumbs up for her dish.

My boneless chicken (RM 18) was tender and juicy but the sauce was a bit bland that chilli sauce comes to handy here.

Yiquan had spring chicken with sambal sauce. (RM 22) No complain on this as it’s rare that spring chicken has dry texture right.

Since the food at Jack Place is affordable, we tried their set lunch the other day at Sunway Pyramid. It was Monday so the main course offered was NZ Sirloin Steak with Brown Sauce Topped with Onion Rings(RM18) and Grilled Boneless Chicken with Tangerine Sauce (RM 13.80). The Set lunch was inclusive of a soup of the day, main course, coffee/tea and dessert. It is valid from 11 am to 2.30 pm daily. You can choose to upgrade your meals too:

Add RM4.00 for Lobster Bisque
Add RM3.00 for Other Soup
Add RM3.00 to change the sauce of your main course
Add RM2.00 to upgrade normal coffee to freshly brewed coffee

Mizi Shabu Shabu is nestled amidst a bustling rows of eateries at Bandar Puteri Puchong. It’s located just behind Bumbu Bali and if you are having a hard time locating this place, try tilt your head up to look for the neon lighted steamboat.

With bright lighting, clean surroundings and japanese style dining area, this place makes a comfortable shabu shabu experience.

This is not like any ordinary steamboat buffet place. You have to order what you want to eat and they will charge you accordingly.

Good news is every diner is entitled to their own pot. You get to personalise or play around your own pot of soup with whatever weird stuff added in without annoying others. It’s more hygenic too.

The dippings made from a mixture sesame, peanut chunks, spring onions and soy sauce is really nice. They will charge extra if you request for another dipping sauce. – -|

Porky Slice (RM 4) that we can dabble in the boiling broth. That’s the fun of having shabu shabu right?

Couple Set (RM 25) that comes with 2 prawns, 2 pathetically small fish slices, 2 fish balls, 2 tiny blocks of yoki tofu, 2 quail eggs, 2 tofu puffs, 1 instant noodle trying to be yee mee and abundance of glass noodles and vegetables. The food is very fresh and the place is very comfortable, so I wouldn’t mind to come back again even though the price is slightly on the higer side compared to Shabu Shabu King ss2.

Recipe from Rose’s Kitchen

Ingredients:

1 fish head (about 1 kg)
2 round purple brinjals, quartered
4 pieces tender lady’s fingers
3 tomatoes, quartered
2 sprigs curry leaves
4 green chillies, slit half way lengthwise
5 red chillies, slit half way lengthwise
2 big onions, sliced thinly
2 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
1/2 thumb-size ginger, shredded
1 tbsp mixed curry seeds for fish curry
4 tbsp curry powder for fish + 10 tbsp water
300ml coconut milk
50g tamarind mixed with 300ml water
6 tbsp cooking oil

Seasoning:

1-2 tsp salt
2-3 tsp sugar
1 tsp vetsin

Method:

1. Wash fish head and drain. Season with salt and vetsin and steam till cooked.
2. Heat oil in wok and fry the curry seeds and shredded ginger till light brown.
3. Add garlic slices and stir-fry for 1/2 minute. Add the sliced onions and fry till soft and transparent.
4. Add the curry paste and 300ml coconut milk. Stir-fry till the oil comes through.
5. Add tomatoes, lady’s fingers, brinjals, curry leaves and chillies.
6. Add the tamarind juice, vetsin, salt and sugar and continue to cook over a low heat. If gravy is too thick, add a little more water and let simmer for 5 minutes.
7. Add the steamed fish head, cover wok and let simmer till cooked.

Citygal decided to try some challenging recipe that are on par with those one can try at seafood restaurant. The ingredient list was extensive, giving me a hard time to gather everything. However, the steps are quite easy and simple. I play cheat by using instand curry powder for curry fish head and substitute the coconut milk with full cream milk.

I use Garoupa Fish head which is surprisingly full of succulent meat, it also contain staring eyes and fish lips which some said these are the best part! The verdict was good (surprisingly), my cousin said that the curry sauce was flavourful and aromatic. I picked a very fresh fish head judging from the moist, luctrous surface, firmly attached scale and crystal bright eyes. Suddenly I feel so proud of myself! Giggles.
