Food Review - Ayam Golek Dara, Nilai

Nope, I have yet to give up on my diet. But, weekend will be the day I will enjoy the good food with my family. However, I still stick to one meal per day thingy. So far, self discipline still is in tact.

We have been wanting to try this place. We heard it from our community forum and they recommended for others to try this place. It's located right after Pekan Nilai, the road leading to Labu. It's about 20 minutes drive from where we live.

This place only opens 4pm onwards. Choices are quite ok, of course the speciality will be the Ayam Golek. This is eaten with Nasi Lemak which by the way is so delicious.

I also had Char Kuey Teow which was also not bad.

The cuties were so excited watching the ayam bergolek. Love to watch them!(the cuties I mean, not the ayam)

Nasi lemak happens to be my hero's favourite, so, he was really enjoying himself with the spicy sambal.

Now the review :
Taste - 4 - My better half is so very fussy plus cerewet ya amat when it comes to food, so seeing him enjoying the food speaks for itself.
Location - 4 - easy access for us, no toll, no traffic jem, just a lot of traffic lights
Service - 4.5 - very efficient and friendly
Price - 4 - very affordable, for food we had, it only cost us RM20.

So, cuba jgn tak cuba!

Food Review - Umbai Seafood Galore @ Melaka

The moment we have been waiting for...Okaylah, at least, the moment I have been waiting for. The main reason why we decided to be in Melaka. Of course, to have a seafood fiesta at Umbai. Very famous and well know for the fresh and delicious seafood.

We left after maghrib prayers and the place was already jam packed. We felt it's gonna be difficult to get a parking space so we parked quite a distance from the makan area, in front of the nearby houses. It was about less than 10 minutes walk to the place.

We were recommended to visit the first stall called D Muara. We managed to get a place to sit and when my better half and I wanted to choose what fishes and seafood to have, we were denied from our right to order(haiyoo, why sound so serious), apparently the kitchen couldn't cope with the current orders. So, we decided to change to another restaurant, and the only place that have table for us was at the last stall, called Parameswara.

We ordered butter prawn, lala masak pedas, sotong goreng tepung, ikan jenahak bakar, sup cendawan and of course eaten with of course nasi lemak! When all the food arrived, we thought...banyak giler! Sapa nak makan nie...

Actually, the food was finished selicin-licinnyer...Yup, I forego my diet for this one night. Seminggu sekali takpe, make sure buat heavy work out tomorrow to burn all those calories.The total bill was only RM100. That was below than what we expected. Now the review :

Taste - 4 - really sedap! We were afraid we will be dissapointed since we did not eat at the recommended stalls but we were so please with the food! Hingga menjilat jari!
Location - 3.5 - Ok, if you are already in Melaka, I admire those those who are willing to drive for good food, wish I have the guts to do that. And this place that we ate, it was facing the river so the breeze was really nice
Service - 4- fast even there were many customers around
Price - 4 - cheap, we thought it will come to at least RM200....

What I learnt today?

It was a good thing we have this family bonding thingy before we start with a New Year where life will be back to the normal hecticness. And wanting to ensure I keep one of my New Year resolution, I have started to make early planning of the holidays in 2009. Again, work just need to stop when it's time to be with family!

Food Review - Village View, Bangi

This entry is not only for the food review, this entry also done inconjuction to my better half's birthday celebration we had last night. We chose to go to this place as it was recommended by Mrs Green. For those living in Bangi area, this place is located near Soho and the furniture centre, behind Petronas.

I have pre-ordered earlier just to be sure we don't have to wait for the food. I was also told this place can be quite packed so we better make reservations.

We arrived around 8.30pm and not even after 3 minutes upon our arrival, the food was served. And the food was still hot!

This is what we ordered
Tomyam Campur

Ikan - we ordered 2 type, one is Siakap Masam Pedas and the other one, Kerapu Ladprik

Sayur campur, sotong goreng tepung, paprik campur and telur dadar...of course with sambal belacan.

The cuties simply love this place as it is surrounded by fish pond full of japanese cub(betul ke spelling nie). The view was nice and reflect the name of the place, Village View.

Coincedently, my parents were staying at our house so it's so nice to have them join the celebration.

Now the review :
Taste - 4.5 - one of the best tom yam I have tasted and the fishes were really fresh

Location - 3.5

Service - 4.5 - the staff was polite and was also fast

Price - 3.5 - not bad...

Happy birthday sayang, hope you enjoyed your birthday present and celebration!!
