James Foo Western Food-Tanjung Bungah

I was around Tanjung Bungah area last Saturday and were searching for good food around that area for dinner. Then, my cousin sister suggested James Foo Western Food which she heard from her friend for sometime already that the food were good there..It was just next to Fatty Loh Chicken Rice shop..
I would say that the parking was not so convenient there. However, we decided to give it a try & there we go, we make our way to James Foo western food cafe.
When we entered the cafe, there was a door at the righthand side which i thought that's the room with air-conditioned seating. So, we step-in the room & found out it's actually link to the Fatty Loh Chicken Rice Shop. We quickly make a turn out from the room...:p Hmm...I was thinking, were they actually related to each other? but but, i did not asked to clarify that time..Coz i was too hungry & excited to have my food already...
Then, we headed in to look for seats..wow, to my surprise the ambient was quite nice there...



We sat down & realised that we have to order in front; near the entrance. So, for those 1st timer, Order 1st before you find your seats...

We ordered Chicken Maryland (RM8.50) & the Mushroom Soup (RM2.50)

Overall the chicken maryland was good, the fried chicken skin were not too thick, just nice, it's crispy...
The mushroom soup was nice too, it has the 'Angel wings mushrooms'(cut into slices)...and it's quite a big portion...You'll be quite full if you finished up the whole bowl of the mushrooms before u have your maincourse...

There's an incident happened when this mushroom soups were served by this young boy. When he lifted the 2 bowls of the soup, his thumb actually touched the soup, juz a lil'...I saw it right in front of my eyes...kinda shocked & i looked at my cousin sister..then,we decided to call upon the older waiter & asked him to change for us..He was quite angry at that moment when we told him, he wasn't angry at us but the young boy will get punishment, i guess...Maybe he wasn't properly trained or maybe it's just his 1st day helping out there...I don't know what happened to the boy after that, but we got our soup changed; that's the important thing. And the older waiter apologized to us when he replaced the soups for us...


We actually reached there at 630pm, consider quite early..and we had a long chat there..the crowd grew after around 8pm...almost full house...

Manhantan Fish Market-Sunway Carnival

Since it's still a Puasa month & they have this Ramadhan set promo for 2 pax, we had a try on the set..

it's 69.90++(if i'm not wrong)

Here's the main course..

It has deep fried squids, oysters, dory fish, prawns & chips...yummy yummy..it's good, i like the prawn which has the cheezy mayo toppings..it's delicious & fresh..the dory fish were soft & tender...nice...

And the set comes with Bottomless Ice Lemon Tea, guess what i had 2.5 glass of it..

Then, it has the Brownies with ice-cream topping. I would say the brownie is too dry & the ice-cream is too icy...

Cutie lil' piggy Mooncake

I learn to make this lil piggy shape mooncake...it's simple & indeed fun..
we uses a bread maker to bake it....

Ingredients:

1. Alkaline water; 1 tbsp

2. Peanut Oil; 60g

3.Golden syrup; 450g

4.Flour; 600g

Mix all the 4 ingredient as above, then wrap it with polystyrene for 4-5 hrs..

And there goes the fun time. We can start to do the lil'piggy shape....

The body part 1st, then the ear, the nose, the tail. Then for the eye, we use the red bean...:)

This is in-the-progress stage.

Then, after about 15mins, take out the whole tray and brush the lil'piggy with egg yolk....and bake for another 10mins....

Tada...;) here's the results of our 1st time making this lil piggy mooncake..

Hehe, some of it went out of shape..Will improve on that on my next try..

Xiao Er Kopitiam

Since Sunshine Farlim moved to the new building, we haven't been there before.
Thus, we had our pick of the night for our supper at Xiao Er Kopitiam at Sunshine Farlim, the cafe is facing the mainroad..

We ordered the Toast with Peanut Butter and Kaya Butter...It was just a normal toasted bread, i would say..





For the drink, we ordered White Coffee, Mint Tea and Honey Milk..It were all too sweet, and guess what. After we had half of the cup, we asked the waitress to add hot water for us..:(

The Char Siew Pau also normal only... the fillings of the charsiew was too little and it tasted a lil' neutral. And most importantly, it's not hot enough. You all would agree that normally when we have pau or dimsum, we would want it to be hot, right...


About the food and drinks prices, it's almost similar to oldtown kopitiam..

Nasi Ayam Periuk Besar-D'Piazza

This shop has opened for sometime at D'Piazza, but i have not tried before...

So, i give it a try...and saw that this Nasi Ayam Periuk Besar originated from Kulim, Kedah.

They doesn't have much choices on the menu, which my friend told me before..

Thus, this month was a Puasa month so they have a few Ramadhan Promotions...

I ordered the 'Mondrod Rendang Ayam'..the rendang was quite nice, but not that spicy though...and it's chicken strips...not in piece form...

and i had Tea Tarik, it was too sweet for me..
