Food Review - Bangi Kopitiam

Kopitiam, kopitiam, every where you go there's kopitiam with all kinds of name. Oldtown lah, new town lah and many more to mention.

However, the kopitiam I am gonna talk about is the Bangi Kopitiam located in Bandar Baru Bangi. Was told this place is owned by Kid, the former Search guitarist. Not sure how true this is and was made to understand this place also have several outlets in the city.

This review is a combination of 2 visits to this place. First one was just me and my better half and the other visit was with the cuties.

The first visit, we ordered Nasi Lemak Ayam Rendang, toast bread with scrambled eggs and bread with chicken curry. And of course, what's a visit to kopitiam without having the kopi o kaw!

The second visit, we had mee hoon hailam, nasi ayam hainanese, asam laksa, toast bread with half boiled eggs on top and toast bread. Having difficulty to load this photos, will do so once I get the freaking internet to work here in BSP.

My ratings :

(4 being the highest)

Taste - 2.5, ok lah, not up to my expectation but not too bad either

Ambience - 3 with real kopitiam ambience, the furniture and decorations were suitable.

Location - 3 suitable with ample parking.

Price - 3 oklah, not too bad just like other kopitiam's pricing.

Will I come here again, maybe if I am craving for the kopi o yg memang kaw and the tasty toast bread with butter and kaya. The rest, not so lah.

Food Review - Pizza San Fransisco

Friday night as usual is the eat out night and last Friday was not an exception. We wanted to go western that night and just then we thought of the pizza place at the junction of BBB going towards the Seremban highway. This place is called Pizza San Fransisco.

We noticed this place is always packed with customers and now we not why. Let me share with you our experience here.

This place is super fast and the employees here are VERY friendly, polite and courteous. I mean this and felt so welcome here. They also took the time to explain about the menu should we don't really understand. Al maklumlah, akak nie kan melayu...so menu org putih kadang2 tak paham....

This is what we ordered...

The nachos

Strawberry float
Mushroom soup with garlic bread

Spaghetti bolognese - the food was really presentable, tak sempat ambik gambar, the cuties were already mixing this

The pizza
The dessert - cheese cake

The cuties had a great time, the food was excellent and awesome!

And my ratings....5 for all!!!!

Food Review - Warung Kak Aishah, Bandar Baru Nilai

We have ran out of ideas on what to eat. We had tried practically most of the outlets in BSP and don't feel like driving to BBB.

My better half just drove around Bandar Baru Nilai in search of food. We were starving, the clock showed 3.15pm and we have yet to have our lunch.

Then, while driving to Desa Melati(yer kot, forget2 remember lah!), we came across this place called Warung Kak Aishah. We saw quite a big crowd here, and assuming the food must be good since many people were enjoying their food.

My hero and princess ordered Laksa. Sedap!!!

My better half and my baby had Nasi Ayam. Biasalah, perut melayu, tak dapat nasi tak sah.

While I ordered Kuey Teoe Goreng and requested for this to be extra spicy.

We also ordered ABC, suitable for the hot weather.

If you noticed, my hero ordered Laksa kan but now he is eating Kuey Teow. After he finished his laksa he tried my Kuey Teow and love it! So, he ordered another one.

So, the review :

Ambiance - 3 - oklah, just like the typical gerai place

Location - 3 - Along the shoplots so quite convenient. Parking will not be a problem.

Taste - 3.5 - excellent, memang sedap giler!!

Service - 3.5 - excellent! fast and sopan sungguh

Price - 3.0 - not bad. for this good food, very affordable.

Will surely make another trip to this place again. The kuey teow goreng is to die for!!!

Food Review - Teh Tarik Place

We were so tired after visiting this sale that we need to stop and have a drink for awhile before we continue our journey to visit this.

We don't really know where to eat. Food at The Curve is not that enticing to us. So, we walked further and we came across this place called Teh Tarik Place.

The place was quite pack with people which can mean few things ; the food is good, the food is cheap or people just sat there cause there are many people who sat there i.e. going where the crowd goes.

So, we ordered variety of food in the menu. Of course, Teh Tarik, otherwise what's the point eating at a Teh Tarik Place.

Nasi Goreng with Telur Mata.

Nasi Lemak Sotong

Kuey Teow Goreng

Mee Hoon Goreng

Sup Kambing

The service was quite frustrating aka lembab!!!! We wanted to order air kosong cause the cuties drink was finished while waiting for the food to arrive and that itself took about 10 minutes. And to make matter worse, due to communication barrier, we ordered one thing and they sent something else. Tension betul!!!

Now the review.

Ambiance - 2.5 - quite hot, dah ler service lembab so makin hot.

Location - 2.5 - The Curve is ok but the place is quite secluded. If you don't walk around you may not encounter this place

Taste - 3 - oklah, like typical mamak shop, the teh tarik was nice though

Service - 0.5 - this is me being kind! If me being honest, they deserve negative points.

Price - 2.0 - dah le lembab, mahal pulak tu.

So, there you have it, my take of this place. Remember you merchandiser out there, no matter how good your food may be if the service is lembab, no pointlah brother!!!

Food Review - Nasi Lemak Ayam Kampung Bandar Baru Bangi

Last night, I was so exhausted coming back from work that this was written all over my face. I was also thinking what should I cook for the cuties and would prefer to just prepare simple dish since I was not really in the mood to cook.

Seeing this, my better half suggested for us to eat out instead. Usually, I am against the idea of eating out except for our usual Friday night happy hour. But, I know I have very limited energy that night, and thinking I have to fold the clothes as well, I accept his idea.

Next predicament, where to eat...We drove around BBB and came across this place near the Tasik Cempaka, BBB called Nasi Lemak Ayam Kampung. The ambiance is interesting, exactly next to the lake.

I know I am supposed to be on diet but I did not have any food during the day except for a very light breakfast so I thought I can have a plate of Nasi Lemak Ayam Kampung(nie kira statement penyedap hati, padahal, no rice langsung sepatutnyer)

My better half and my princess had the same dish I ordered while my hero ordered a plate of spaghetti bolognese. My baby, who just had an early dinner at my mom's place, settled for a Pau Kaya.

Now the review :

Ambiance - 3 -Love it at first until the mosquitoes there start assaulting my feet.

Taste - 3.5 - The sambal was awesome. The rice was ok and the ayam kampung was cooked to perfection, not too crispy and not too soggy, just right

Location - 3 - great location, right in the middle of BBB

Service - 3.5 - fast and courteous.
Price - 3 - reasonable, we felt that it's the right price to charge

To those who live in BBB area, why don't give this place a try. They have variety of menu from Nasi Lemak to Western food. They also serve Char Kuey Teow but the time we went, that stall was closed. Children would love it there, but careful. Jangan bagi anak2 terjun tasik dah ler...

Selamat Menjamu Selera!

Food Review - Nasi Beriani Gam Putrajaya

Last Saturday, we wanted to watch the Dragon Boat race and exhibition in Putrajaya. We thought this will happen until night time however by the time we reach there around 6.30pm, all stalls have started packing and ready to go home. I guess we were too late and actually the event ended at 5pm. We told the cuties we will come here again.

My baby was already hungry and I don't feel like going to Alamanda. Bosan ler pulak every weekend we have been coming to Alamanda.

I suggested to my better half, why don't we take the cuties to Nasi Beriani Gam Putrajaya. We've been there once and that was without the cuties. Since it's not that far to drive, we made our way to that direction.

We ordered Nasi Beriani Gam Ayam for the girls while my better half and hero wanted the mutton beriani. My baby actually wanted Ayam Masak Merah but it was all sold out. So, she settled for Ayam Masak Beriani instead.

Here's the review :

Ambiance - 2.5 - It's like a typical stalls so nothing to shout about.

Taste - 2 - For this trip, quite dissapointing. The first trip was much better. This time the gravy tasted a bit bitter, like the spices were too much.

Location - 3 - at that time quite strategic, but parking maybe a problem

Service - 3- not bad and quite fast

Price - 2.5 - On the high side. The beriani ayam costs us RM11 each while the mutton RM13 each.

I don't think we will come here again. Don't want to be dissapointed again

Food Review - De Palma Cafe

Why were the cuties looking so restless. Did Liza wrongly put the title for this entry...Isn't it supposed to be the food review entry...

Well, this was our wedding anniversary dinner. Not really planned cause we thought to have a simple affair this year. Just dinner and presents were not made mandatory (though my better half cheated by getting me a very nice name card holder and he argued because he thought I need that for my job, ye lah bang!). We don't have a good idea where the dinner should be. Then, I remembered while driving around BBB, I saw this De Palma Cafe located in the PKNS building. If I'm not mistaken, this is part of the De Palma Hotel management.

We arrived there around 8.05pm. There were not many people around which we were so glad thinking we will not have to wait so long for the food. How wrong was thought.
Baby had mushroom soup which arrived 30 minutes after we ordered. And that my friend, is only mushroom soup.

My hero ordered buttered chicken rice and came 15 minutes after baby's order. He was starving and immediately digged in the food. He did not talk to anyone while eating, pandang kiri kanan pun tak. That's how hungry he was. Similar to my princess who ordered Chinese Fried Rice. Sampai tak sempat ambik gambar the food dah habis.

I ordered this sour sop juice and rib eye steak. Arrived over an hour after ordering. My appetite has been spoilt so did not actually enjoy the food.

And why no food for my better half? Well, he did order the ribs which did not arrive even after all of us finished our food. So, he went to the counter and calmly told the waitress to cancel the order, went on to pay for the food and we left after that.

I know him and if it's not our anniversary dinner, he would have gone beserk there and then.
The review? Tak payahlah, not worth reviewing food, tak kiralah the quality of food, and the you wait forever waiting period.

Food Review - D Asria Garden Cafe

Yet another food review....

As usual, Friday nite is the eating out nite. And usually we will choose new venues for this occassion.

This time around we had dinner at this place in Bangi Lama called D Asria Garden Cafe. We drove by this place a couple of times but did not really stop to try the food there. One reason, this place only opens 4pm to midnite and we usually drove by this place during the day.

We ordered quite a number of dish. Siakap Masak Cili, Tomyam Campur, Paprik Campur, Sotong Goreng Tepung and Telur Dadar. Not to forget, Kerang Rebus.

This place offers quite an extensive menu selection. Not only the Thai food menu, there's also Nasi Lemak Ayam Kampung, Nasi Bubur and many more.

Now the review :

Ambiance - 3 - nice and cosy, they have this man made waterfall which I find blends well with this place
Taste - 2 - quite dissapointing. The tomyam was too sour and the fish was not fresh. You can really feel the taste of fish just left the freezer
Location - 3 - ok, just about 15 minutes drive from our home. But, need to really look cause the road there is quite narrow
Service - 3.5- excellent service, fast and courteous. If only this was complimented with good food
Price - 3 - considering the food was not that good, I find the price was really on the high side.

Overall, I don't think we are coming back here. Not worth the money lah.

Food Review - Vacation @ KB - Yati Ayam Percik

The final nite @ KB was the nite where we were searching for another good dinner at KB. I went to this one place while doing some work at KB before, so I thought that would be a good place to go for dinner.

The place is called Yati Ayam Percik. It's about 5 minutes drive from our hotel and when we reached there, the place was quite pack.

The cuties were excited watching the chicken and beef being grilled right in front of their eyes.

We ordered Nasi Kerabu accompanied with Gulai Kawah, Ayam Percik and Daging Bakar. The food was as good as how I remembered it to be.

My better half just couldn't resist to try one of the dessert. He said it was awesome!

Now the review :
Taste - 3.5 - suits my taste very well
Location - 3.5 - not having to drive that far was very ideal for us Service - 3 - oklah, but mcm slow skit
Price - 3.5 - very worth the money, cheap!

It's quite sad to leave KB the next day. We pledged to come here again and this time with more money...for more shopping!!
