Things I ate: Awesome food

As a cheer-me-up follow-up to my last post (nothing more sad than un-awesome food), here are some things I ate and was quite happy.

Awesome food - poon choi

CNY poon choi at Sg Buloh with #porkgang. The restaurant’s moved to a bigger, cleaner and more comfortable space. The food was pretty good, the company even better.

Awesome food - Denise's vodka trifle

My friend Denise made this vodka trifle dessert at one of her parties. It was the most decadent thing I’d ever eaten and I’ve been hounding her for the recipe since.

Awesome food - lamb kebab with couscous at Antipodean

Lamb kebab with couscous at Antipodean, Bangsar. I didn’t care for the couscous but oh the lamb..! Sweet, juicy and bursting with flavours… you’d do yourself a disservice if you do not try this.

Awesome food - strawberries with balsamic vinegar

Free strawberries with balsamic vinegar at Trattoria Cucina Italiana, Menara Hap Seng. They must have liked us.

Awesome food - berries with yoghurt

Strawberries and blueberries were going for cheap at Isetan. So I bought fresh plain yoghurt to go with them. Simple pleasures!

Awesome food - breakfast pizza at Ben's

Breakfast pizza with spinach and eggs Benedict at Ben’s General Food Store, Bangsar. The combination just worked but not cheap for regular breakfast, heh.

Awesome food - roast lamb at Jaya Grocer

El Fresco at Jaya Grocer, Empire mall is quite becoming one of my favourite haunts. For RM21ish, you get 150g of decent roast lamb and 2 massive sides of your choice. I savour every bite.

Awesome food - fish paste pork noodles

The most awesome fish paste and pork noodles in PJ. I also just recently discovered that their yong tau fu is out of this world too! Oh and the biggest, juiciest sui kao ever! Everything is homemade so there’s some waiting time involved. But I’ve been told not to tell you guys where this is, so the next time I go it wouldn’t be so packed, heh :P

Things I ate: Not so awesome food

I don't eat great stuff all the time. Well in comparison to starving, I do have it pretty good. But you know as well as I do that these things are senseless and superficial to compare to. So I hardly talk about not so awesome food because... give … [Continue reading]

How to roast peppers in the oven

Roasted peppers are versatile for just about any recipes that need a dash of awesomeness. If you're roasting one or two bell peppers for a quick fix, it's easy enough to do it on a gas stove. If you're looking to roast a bunch at once, the oven's … [Continue reading]

After all’s been said and done

Eat instant noodles. Expensive instant noodles, influenced by Huai Bin who occasionally has odd, expensive tastes. Almost RM12 for 4 packets of this Myojo Chilli Crab semi-dry ramen. Almost RM3 per pack. Okay probably not the most expensive … [Continue reading]
