Weekend Cat Blogging (WCB) 105

Forgive us! We have been missing from the catosphere as Mum was slack in snapping pixs of both of us. Anyway, we're fine as you can see.



I'm as cute as ever - Mum just can't get enough of my thick black paws. She keeps touching them which I absolutely hate.



Oh, my brother - that white fella gets to party all night. She lets him go out at night and he wanders around town. It's so unfair that I get different treatment just because I'm a girl. Anyway, Mum and Dad are away tomorrow hence she snapped pixs of us looking cute today. That will be so fun as I plan to tear the house apart in revenge for her preferential treatment for my brother. Did you see the first pix of me? I was so annoyed she snapped my pix together with that fella, I decided to take a small leak.......

Naughty as ever

Fluff Puff

P/s you can get more well behaved kitties and their pixs at Auntie Sher, Upsie and Sundance's site on What Did you Eat? They're hosting WCB this weekend.

Ayam Penyet Ria @ Sunway Mentari, Petaling Jaya

I confess I have a soft spot for Indonesian food. Kinda strange since my two previous trips to Jakarta and Medan weren't exactly memorable in terms of food. The Medan trip I was too young to remember much about the food except the abundance of the sourish salak fruit all over the streets. Jakarta was a total nightmare - we had gone there for training and despite staying in a 4 star hotel, almost half of the group came down with food poisoning. It got so bad that we were all craving for McDonalds (!). I did have one memorable meal when my Jakarta officemates took us to eat deep fried catfish known as pecel lele. That was one meal we ate with gusto and without fear of getting a tummy upset.

I recently found a place which opened in Sunway which serves the chicken version - ayam penyet. Part of a franchise from Jawa Timur, they're all over Indonesia and even Singapore. In fact, when one googles their name, quite a few blog reviews by the Singaporeans keep popping up. From what I have read, these items are based on a Surabaya receipe.

I've yet to try the pecel lele but I did sample their signature dish - the ayam penyet. The chicken is actually smashed with a hammer hence it's easier to eat. The fried chicken was extremely tasty with crispy batter. I also loved the crunchy bits they top the fried chicken which was addictive. When you order a portion, it comes in a platter with spicy sambal, deep fried tempe, deep fried tofu, vegetables and a seperate plate of white rice. Pricewise, I remember it to be about RM10. Besides the ayam penyet, they also have empal penyet (with beef), pecel lele, gado gado and assam vegetables.

Recently a blog reader, Izaida mentioned Ayam Bakar Wong Solo in Ampang to me. I googled it and it's also an Indonesian franchise. Looks like similar food but I'm not too sure since the references to it from Indonesia says it is grilled chicken. Anyway, will check it out one day as I have directions to it. Thanks for the tip, Izaida.

French Vietnamese Food @ Bongsen, Suria KLCC, Kuala Lumpur

It has been quite a while since I dined at Bongsen. There's quite a few changes including a new menu which was pretty good. The plan was to meet up at Suria KLCC since it was near Splashie Boy and Ms. P's office. Unfortunately, Ms. P wasn't in the office so she ended up being one hour late for dinner. While waiting for her, we ordered appetizers from the menu. I won't have much descriptions for the food this time as I didn't do any of the ordering as I left it to my friends to select what we ate that night. I did picked this one - the dragonfruit and lime salad. Really good stuff and I reckon it's pretty simple to recreate at home. Tossed in lime juice, the dragonfruit cubes is topped with shredded mint leaf, crispy cuttlefish and toasted peanuts. Continuing the dragonfruit theme, I also ordered the dragonfruit and lime juice. Really refreshing and who knew lime would add so much flavour to the usually bland taste of dragonfruit.



My friend, MY ordered this - fried calamari and prawn salad. You drizzle a sweetish dressing over the salad which we didn't really like. The calamari came with a breadcrumb coating which tend to be quite hard signifying overfrying. Even though we all didn't like the salad so much, we finished it everything down to the last frisee leaf. You can't really tell from the picture by the salad also has quail eggs nestled with the frisee leaves.



We had the assorted platter of appetizers which came in two big plates for us to share. I snapped two pictures of the long platter - their chee cheong fun roll tasted kinda funny but I liked the meatballs served with the sweetish tomato sauce. Not too sure what was the item in between the meatballs and chee cheong fun rolls but I didn't like it as it was slightly chewy and a bit oily.



The fresh rice paper rolls and the tiny spring rolls were not too bad. There was also the sugarcane prawn which you eat the paste and chew on the piece of sugarcane to taste its sweet juices.



After an hour of waiting for Ms. P, she finally arrived hence we ordered the main meals to share. First was a portion of grilled lemongrass chicken. This was pretty good as it came with a brownish paste made with lemongrass that was so fragrant. The grilled chicken breast was quite juicy and went so well with the lemongrass paste.



We had to have the Beef Pho which came with tender sliced beef, beef tendons and cow's stomach. I love the rich broth and we slurped all the soup till the last drop.



Not too sure what's the name of this but it's a tomato based soup with noodles that resemble spaghetti strands. It's the ever favourite of Ms. P who must have it whenever she eats here for lunch or dinner. There's prawns, tomatoes and I think a type of beancurd in the soup. It's not spicy but quite moreish especially the broth.

Although prices here tend to be quite on the high side - dinner was approximately RM60 per pax for the food and drinks we ordered, the company made up it all. As usual, we had strange discussions like why Hong Kong men are supposedly better as boyfriends. We finally concluded they weren't ideal boyfriend or husband material since they have a tendency to acquire a second wife in China.

Prawn Noodles @ Restoran Kam Heong, Petaling Jaya New Town

I've gone on a noodle binge these few days. Recently, I met up with a friend who had shifted office to Petaling Jaya for lunch. I must admit I also tend to avoid this place as I once had to wait for almost half and hour before I found a car park space. Luckily this time round, it was quite hasslefree as I managed to catch some people leaving for lunch.

My friend, S introduced me to the Prawn Noodles here. Really full of flavour, I really liked the broth which is rich and thick. Although the taste of the prawns is quite mild, you get the sweet taste of the pork ribs they use to boil this soup in. The noodles come with sliced pork, prawns and half a hard boiled egg. Not sure how much did this cost as my friend paid for it but it was a very satisfying meal.

I had also ordered popiah from the Malacca Popiah stall. Didn't think much of the popiah but I did notice it had quite a strong garlic taste. Each popiah costs RM1.50 which came unadorned and not very nicely wrapped hence the ugly picture of it.

There's loads of great food here - I love the char kuey teow here and the porridge is pretty good here although a bit pricey. At night, they serve the famous teochew duck. In fact, business must be really good as they advertise on the television sets at the restaurant. You get to watch a video which itemises all the items they serve at the teochew duck stall and there's even a commentary on the ducks they serve at the stall.

Budget Japanese Food @ Tempura King, 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Petaling Jaya

When it comes to eating at the malls, despite the abundance of choices, I'm often lost on what to eat. We discovered this tiny place at the quieter side of the old wing of 1 Utama after reading about it on You Get What You Give Sometimes. Right next to Sushi King (no relation to them), I remember this was the place which used to sell ramen long ago. Although they mainly serve tempura, they also have udon, rice dishes and side dishes like agedashi tofu on their menu. We tried their set meals which are priced reasonably below RM10. We chose the Ebi Tendon - mixed tempura with prawns and vegetables. The tempura here is fried with carotino oil for a healthier alternative. Tastewise it's pretty good as the batter is crispy and light. My only slight complaint is it's slightly darker compared to the pale yellow crispy batter you usually get in Japanese restaurants. Not too sure if this means they reuse the oil more compared to the restaurants or is it due to their tempura flour mix.



We also tried the Tori Kara-age Don - chicken coated in a crispy batter on top of rice. Not too bad also and a steal for less than RM10. Both the set meals come with a choice of soft drink or green tea and a scoop of King's ice-cream for dessert. Depending on the promotions they have you can also order the side dishes like agedashi tofu.

Aside from this outlet, they just recently opened an outlet at Hartamas Shopping Centre where the old Only Mee outlet used to be. It's right opposite Wok Hei, Ah Yip Herbal Soup and behind Kim Gary.

Siam Laksa @ Lum Kee, Medan Selera Section 14, Petaling Jaya

Although this place has been around for a long time, I only recently had a chance to sample their laksa. Part of the reason why I often dread going to Section 14 is the difficulty in getting a car park space but I persevered and suceeded with a nice spot.

It's relatively easy to locate this stall which is at the end of the halal section of the medan selera with the big sign Lum Kee telling the whole world they're in the business of selling curry laksa, assam laksa, mee sup, prawn mee and my absolute favourite the siam laksa. Essentially a mix of the two laksas - the tangy assam and the coconut creamy curry, it's the best of both worlds. Lum Kee's version definitely hit a sweet spot for me and I was slowly slurping down the mixed laksa till the last drop.

I was feeling extra greedy after slurping down my Siam Laksa that I decided to also try a small bowl of their curry laksa. The curry laksa got my thumbs up too - rich with coconut milk but too overly indulgent. I loved the sambal they give you in the spoon. It's not too spicy but I definitely could taste the tiny prawns used to make it. It added a touch of extra yummy to the laksa.

Although I was super curious to try the other offerings, I decided I better stop or else I'll explode with all the laksas. Definitely worth another trip back as I want to sample their other offerings. The stall is relatively quiet and run by two old men with huge metal pots boiling with the delicious laksa broth.

Masakan Melayu @ Pekan Kopitiam, Plaza Damansara, Kuala Lumpur

It's been quite some time since I posted on Malay food. Call it bad planning but my internal schedules have kinda gone haywire with me being away from home. I'm slowly adapting to home so bear with me as I still owe all of you the index.

Here's a new place at Plaza Damansara - Pekan Kopitiam which we stumbled upon one night when searching for food. The name of the coffeeshop refers to the town Pekan which is where the owner is from but it serves a mish mash of Malay food. During lunch time, there's various types of dishes and curries laid out but at night, you need to order from the menu. Since it's pretty new, the food seems to be evolving. We tried this interesting Kelantan Royalty Murtabak (RM4). Made by someone who used to work at the Kelantan palace, the murtabak is unusual as it's thicker with a double layer. It's also crispy on the outside and kinda reminds me of a stuffed french toast. Tastewise it's pretty good and the filling is not too dry while I like the crispy outside.



They also have various types of Fried Rice here but I tried the unusual Nasi Goreng Ladna (RM5). This type of fried rice is accompanied by the sauce which is similar to the Cantonese Style Noodles except in this case it's not so starchy. This version is quite nice and spicy with lots of chopped chili padi.



We also ordered a portion of Keropok Lekor (RM2) to try - not bad and nice eaten piping hot with the chili sauce. I almost burnt my tongue eating this as it was so hot.

Aside from these items, you can order various fried dishes here. Note the menu is not complete hence ask the waiter or waitress to recommend what are the other dishes for you. On another topic, note that Hartamas Shopping Centre is having their Taste of Japan fair this weekend till early June 2007. There's not much as it's mostly selling the same items like Meiji chocolates, Sake, Calpyso drinks, Pocky Chocolate and etc which is available at the Japanese shop there.

Doughnuts @ Big Apple Donuts & Coffee, The Curve, Mutiara Damansara, Kuala Lumpur

I finally had time to make it to the new doughnut place at the Curve. Ever since they announced their opening in the papers last weekend which I totally missed, it's been packed with people that there has already been a few blog reviews. It's located behind TGIF next to the yet to open The Apartment.



According to the people who work at this place, they say the doughnuts are based on a recipe from New York. Not too sure about it since there's no mention about a Big Apple Donut franchise if I google. It looks like this could be a similar doughnut set up to the ones who are now cashing in on the Krispy Kreme fame. Guess it's a good idea to bring this in and start a trend to reap the monies before the actual Krispy Kreme arrive on our shores. Kinda reminds me of the same business model the two doughnut places in Singapore are doing at Raffles Shopping Centre and at Vivocity where people queue up for their doughnuts.



Currently the opening promotion is buy twelve doughnuts at RM17 and get half a dozen doughnuts for free. Note that for the twelve doughnuts, you can choose the various types but for the free doughnuts they only give you Glacier doughnuts which is simply glazed. If you order a drink (not mineral water) as they also serve various coffee and teas, you can also get a free Glacier doughnut.



Signages are quite sparse when it comes to the types of doughnuts they offer and when I was there, not all the glass trays at the display counter were filled up. From a piece of paper stuck at the wall of their open plan kitchen, I counted a total of seventeen varieties but I've only managed to identify sixteen varieties. The kitchen is open plan and pretty small with emphasis on the doughnut glazing machine while toppings is added by hand. This first one is called California Almond - topped with icing and flake almonds. Not bad and not too sweet.



This one is called Cool Blue as it has blueberry jam in the middle while the sides are dipped in a glaze.



This is the Banana Rama - glazed with dark chocolate on the side and in the middle a dollop of strongly flavoured banana cream.



This is the Walnut - dark chocolate glazed with chopped walnuts on top of it.



This one is the Witnut which comes with a peanut butter filling and a white chocolate topping.



This is similar to the Ice Blue except this is called Hot Berry and comes with a strawberry filling.



This is their Snowy doughnut which is just a plain doughnut topped with icing sugar.



This is the Choreo - topped with powdered oreo cookies.



This is the Cocoring which is topped with Belgian dark chocolate.



This one is known as the Green Teaser whereby the topping is green tea. The flavour is quite subtle that it's not easy to figure out the taste of the green tea.



This one is the Mango Tango - topped with mango cream and glazed.



This has a cute name - Moonraker where it's milk chocolate glazed and sprinkled with Coco Pops which they claim is James Bond favourite.

Aside from these ones, there's the Glacier, Semi-Glacier which is less sweet, Iceberg (has vanilla and cream) and Simply Cheese which I know of. The doughnuts tend to be not very sweet and quite soft. Some reckon Dunkin Donuts is better as it's bigger and has more bite to it. Note that Dunkin Donuts and Big Apple Donut is selling each doughnut for RM2 but one dozen doughnuts is RM18 at Dunkin Donuts and slightly cheaper in Big Apple at RM17 but smaller. Half a dozen doughnuts at Big Apple is RM9.50 but RM10 at Dunkin Donuts. The boxes are pretty nifty - huge flat one for the one dozen doughnuts with detailed instructions to keep it refrigerated and to warm it up for 8 seconds in the microwave.

Per an annoymous comment left on Eat First Think Later's blog, the concept for Big Apple is exactly like an Indonesian chain of doughnut company called J.Co Donuts and Coffee. Strange but their website is down but this blog, A Guide to Organized Chaos by Aidil & Shaz has pictures of the J.Co doughnuts they sampled. Check the similarity of the design of the doughnuts right down to the glass trays and labels used at the shop which is the same as Big Apple Donuts.

Ngau Lam (Beef Brisket) Noodles @ Ho Weng Kee, SS2, Petaling Jaya

Call me old fashioned but I tend to prefer coffeeshops versus the newer Hong Kong style cafes which are found all over town. This is one of my old haunts - this noodle place in SS2. Originally from Kuala Lumpur, Ho Weng Kee moved to Petaling Jaya for quite a few years and has been holding it's own at their outlet. They're famous for their noodles and my preferred choice is always the ngau lam (beef brisket) version. The noodles are always top notch here with a not too hard but still chewy nature. The day I tried my ngau lam noodles, the beef brisket was a tad bit fat though but very tender. If you don't like beef, try their braised chicken feet and mushroom which is pretty good too. Their curry noodles is also absolutely delicious.



Another thing I must have when I dine at Ho Weng Kee is a bowl of their sui kau. Although not as crunchy as other places, it tastes pretty good especially with my plate of ngau lam noodles. Do take note that prices here tend to be more expensive that the other stalls.

Cakes @ Just Heavenly, Epicure Building, Damansara Heights, Kuala Lumpur

I finally decided to sample the Just Heavenly cakes last week but it took me a while to put it up as we slowly savoured the items. Our absolute favourite is their Banana Cream Pie shown in its full glory above. We love the crust - so light, crumbly and with a crunch from the crushed biscuits. It's a twist from the usual pies you get since they didn't use a shortcrust pastry but a biscuit crust instead. Kind of a coincidence as I was reading a Fine Cooking magazine just the past week which was extolling the ease of using a biscuit crust for tarts. There's a nice layer of melted chocolate on the crust which is topped with the light as feather cream. Final layer has sliced bananas with a sprinkling of icing sugar. They don't make too many quantities of the pie so if you do see it, grab it as it's sublime.

Here's the famous chocolate durian which was all mine since Splashie Boy hates durian. I had slid a knife through the cake to cut a tiny slice and the moment it opened, a whiff of durian popped out.

If you see the cross sectional of the cake - it's about three quarters filled with the durian mousse with just a tiny layer of chocolate cake to balance the taste. Topped with a chocolate ganache, the flavours from the rich and creamy durian mousse actually melds together very well with the slightly bitter chocolate. Looks like this may be a new trend in say chocolate buffets - dip your durian in the chocolate fountain for additional pleasure.

I had also gotten a profiterole and a rum ball to sample. Their profiterole is not the crunchy type but more towards the cream puff type I remember my mother making when I was young. Filled with pastry cream, it was eaten in a few seconds between the two of us. The rum ball was also delicious and filled with lots of good stuff inside like orange peel and almonds.

I had also bought the sticky toffee with its interesting whirls on top of the cupcake. Unfortunately I didn't get to taste this as Splashie Boy took it home where he has a microwave. This needs about fifteen seconds in the microwave for it to melt the toffee topping before you can savour it.

Drop by their new shop to get a feel of their cakes. I find their cakes to be not as sweet as the other commercial offerings and the varieties offered are unusual. There's not many whole cakes except their Death by Chocolate Cake and the Cheese Chocolate Cake. If you do want a whole cake, you will need to order from them.

Klue Martell RSVP @ Ninja Jones, Northpoint, Mid Valley City, Kuala Lumpur

Last Friday, it was RSVP at the newish Japanese restaurant in Northpoint, Ninja Jones. There's an impressive entrance where you need to press a button to open the metal doors, black clad ninjas serving you, cascading water behind the staircase and the robatayaki with the display of all the grill items. You can also sit around this area to watch the chefs prepare the food. This izakaya place is owned by the same people who own Ozeki and Hanabi. Looks like they used to own Oishi too as they served us on the old plates.

We met up with the other bloggers, Lyrical Lemongrass and her husband the Bald Eagle, Nigel Skelchy of Kampungkayell and FoodieLianne. As the restaurant was huge, tables were well spread out hence you don't really get to see other people dining so we had our nice little nook. As and when you sat down, they will serve you your food and of course the infamous Martell cocktails. No drinks for me since I was still on medication. To start, we had a plate of salad. Just a mix of vegetables of lettuce, sliced cucumbers and radish tossed in a light dressing.

The appetisers came in tiny plates for us to sample - first was the Shira-ee which was steamed vegetables with beancurd. The beancurd is mashed and coats the spinach and tossed with sesame seeds. Pretty good and refreshing.

I liked this a lot - the mixed foil yaki, a mixed mushroom soup with lemon. The soup is nice and sweet and filled with sliced enoki and mushrooms. Delicious to the last drop. This was just a sampler size but if you see the first picture, it's about RM20 if you order a la carte and I would imagine a bigger portion.

The last appetiser was their Yasai Naraharumaki, the fresh vegetable spring roll which came drizzled with Japanese mayonnaise.

This is the same roll but this version had a fluffy lettuce leaf stuffed inside it. Both the rolls got our thumbs up.

For mains, they served their Ninja Millefeuille. This version is the goose liver and chicken on radish. The chicken is coated in a sweetish teriyaki sauce which you eat with the tender goose liver.

The fish version came with pieces of salmon teriyaki topped with unagi. Although the salmon was slightly overcooked and dry, it tasted good.

Both the mains, came with a portion of avocado sushi roll which was very good especially with those melt in the mouth avocado slices.

We were then served a dessert platter - fresh fruits, tiramisu and green tea ice cream. The tiramisu was more like a sponge cake with cream versus the traditional version we are all used to hence it got the thumbs down.

The ice cream was good but such a small portion. Although most of the items served was quite small, it did offer us a chance to sample the food at Ninja Jones which was the idea. The food is pretty good and we wouldn't mind coming back to try the a la carte dishes especially the robata dishes. It was good fun especially after lots of Martell drinks and cam whoring with the food.
