KAMPUNGBOYCITYGAL A MALAYSIAN FOOD & TRAVEL BLOG

I am taking a little break from blogging till 6th of June. It is time for me to start preparing for my so called “professional paper” in full steam. Unfortunately, there are only so many hours in the day so I need to leave this lovely blog aside (for a short while). So till then CHEERS!

Love,
Citygal

Every year when I asked KampungBoy what he wants for his birthday dinner, he asked for nothing but good healthy and happy life. I know! That is one hell of a very general answer; so this year I asked him to make a special request and he specifically asked for a “crabby dinner”. After some deliberation, I decided to take him to Wong Poh for some yummy-licious claypot butter crabs!

If you are a crustacean fanatic, Restoran Wong Poh at Bukit Mayang Mas is the place to go. We reached the place at 6pm sharp on a Saturday evening but to our horror, the place was already packed inside out and we have sit under the intense glaring sun.

We ordered the salted egg mantis prawn as an “appetizer”. It came to our table hot and crispy. While the mantis prawns were coated with incredibly rich and creamy salted egg yolk paste, we find Wong Poh’s version to be too “flour-ly”.

The claypot butter crab is the piece de resistance here, which we spotted in almost every other table. The crabs were so fresh, so fleshy and most importantly reasonably priced – medium size crabs are selling for RM 45 per kg and big size crabs are asking for RM 70 per kg. For only RM 52, we had two medium size crabs with plenty of sweet, succulent meat.

Not to forget the thick, creamy butter sauce with a sprig of curry leaves or two. The gravy is best mopped up with fried ‘man tao’ (RM 0.70 each).

KampungBoy said that it was one of the most incredible-tastiest and satisfying birthday dinner ever. Forget about fine dining! Ditch the fork and spoon! To add to the experience/taste, we broke the claws apart with our hands, pulled the meat off with our teeth and happily licking the butter sauce off our fingers. Messy but so satisfying.

Happy Birthday again!

Pizza Hut is the place for friends and families to get together

When I was little, my parents used to bring my sisters and me to Pizza Hut on special occasions. Those were the days where eating out is considered as luxury by my family and the best that we can do is Pizza Hut. It is a place where we enjoyed our mushroom soup, bread sticks and pizzas. It is also a place where we perfected the art of filling our salad bowl to where the brim starts to flare out. Whenever I see the red roof logo, it brings back fond childhood memories.

As I grew up, I still go to Pizza Hut from time to time but I couldn’t afford to indulge on my favourite Super Supreme Pizza, Spaghetti Meatball Bolognese and Hawaiian Chicken Pizza on a daily basis especially during a ‘dry spell’ period.

This is where Pizza Hut has stepped up to the mark! With the WOW Savers 50% Off Weekday Special Promotion, dining in at Pizza Hut becomes so affordable that I can enjoy all my favourites, everyday!
