Manhattan Fish Market

As i said before, Friday lunch break is the best day for you to go around and experience a new restaurant or cafe with your buddies. Hihihih. Where did we go this time?As per title, Manhattan Fish Market in Alamanda, Putrajaya.

Simple deco, very attentive staff and cozy environment makes the restaurant slightly different from others. What do u expect? It's franchisee, of course it looks the same as other MFM around Malaysia. Dunno what i'm mumbling about.

We had Dori fish for lunch, at first it taste very nice, after finished the first fillet, i don't think i can finish the second fillet. i think it's because it's deep fry, the oil tends to make you feel noxious. not really good eh. Okay lah, after settling our bill, all of us got fridge magnet. hihihi. something good for me!

Mak Ngah's Cafe

Again, make full use of Friday lunch hour.. Heheheh! Love it!

So, this time we went to Mak Ngah Cafe (if i'm not mistaken) at Putrajaya, it was recommended by a friend of mine, Miza. According to her, the cafe offers nasi padang. To those who doesn't know what Nasi Padang is, read this; Nasi Padang literally means rice from Padang, a place in West Sumatra, Indonesia. In Rendezvous, diners are spoilt for choice as the menu features an array of curry, rendang and sambal items to complement the mandatory staple of white rice. (http://www.streetdirectory.com/restaurants/singapore/reviews/restaurant-Rendezvous_Restaurant_Hock_Lock_Kee-1867.php

Other than nasi padang, the cafe offers western food, bihun sup and few other local kuih. what's special about this cafe? Nothing much to comment, it's a very new cafe, nice wallpaper deco and some okay food. But something catch my interest is the way of the owner treats the customer. Best ever so far. Usually the owner doesn't really ask u if u need plain water or a desert, usually u have to call for assistance. Anyway, we have a very good time there. Even though the food is average, very common, but the atmosphere is lovely.

Should any of you wanted to go there, take putrajaya road to alamanda, instead of turning right at alamanda, keep going straight untill you'll reach presint 16. there's a bunch of shophouses there. once i got the exact address, i'll post it here. till then.. happy food hunting!!

Muara Tanjung Harapan - Seafood's Heaven

I really need to update this blog more regularly (i'm getting lazy actually!!) huhuh..

This past few weeks had been really bad for me (as if it have been better b4). Me n few of my colleagues decided to have seafood hunting. it started with Aisyah, she's very thin and we've always told her. EAT MORE - or do u want half of my weight? she's very picky about her food. so yesterday, she told us that she wanted to have ikan bakar. since we have bika here, y don't we go to a place where we can have a very good food. i suggested muara, port klang or morib.

here we are! having the most fabulous seafood around!! sure you'll die of jealousy. hahahah.. okes. how to get there? take NKVE/PLUS to Klang. From Cyberjaya/Putrajaya exit, the toll would be around RM5.90. Follow signboard Tanjung Harapan/North Port. Just follow the signboard, you'll have to pay RM2.70 for toll to northport. Just drive till you meet a traffic light. Go straight, after a flyover, you have to make a right turn to Muara. It's very easy. there's lots of signage to muara.

there are few restaurant at Tanjung Harapan. the first that you'll see would be a malay restaurant. quite okay. the cook is not as superb as chinese restaurant. my fav is the one at the other end. the food are marvellous. pls order steamed fish with nyonya sauce if u r there. very nice. the price is very reasonable!! most of this restaurant serves fresh seafoods.

try it okay!! daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Saba'

Swish Tawouf.. if I am not mistaken. That's the name of the dish of the above. It comes with special rice (very different from our local rice). The texture much longer than local produced rice. Other than the texture, it taste a bit different. I think its all the spices that being cooked together with the rice. You can eat the rice on its own, without any other dish. Its taste so good! The rice being served with tandoori chicken, lemon, salad, and onions. The salad comes with special sauce. I think its because Malaysian loves something spicy so the chef had to invent his own sauce recipe so we won;t spoil the taste by using western chillie & ketchup sauce. :P

As for the drink, please order lemonade for your drink as it goes much better with the food compared to any other drinks.

Oh ya! The restaurant served non-alcoholic beer. (Malta based drinks) It comes with few choices of flavor. It doesn't taste much like malta based drinks, more to sparkling juice thingy. I'm a bit dissapointed, honestly taste like sparkling drinks.

If you are familiar with Cyberjaya area, the restaurant located at the same building as Multimedia College (opposite Street Mall). You can spot it from the main road. Saba' restaurant serves foods from mid-east specializing in Iranian food. Too much of mid east food lately - well, i'll post new dish sometime within this week. Should be open house dishes..

Overall, the food was just average. I think my father cooked Nasi Bukhara much better than the restaurant did. See ya guys soon. Daaaaa!!

Sawarabina

Huhuhu.. We are in the second week of Syawal. Missed my frens sooo much. Hope none of them bloated with all the rendangs, puluts and ketupats during raya.

So, last nite Shara, Lydia and me went out for dinner. We've tried a new dish called chick peas; originated from Syria. It's an appetizer comes with bread which looks like chapati (but taste much better than chapati) a special sauce from Syria which contain olive oil and diced tomatoes in it. The owner gives us a chance to try arab chilli sauce. It taste very different from the sauce that we've always eat before. The arab chilli sauce is not spicy at all, the chef did put garlic sauce together with the arab chilli sauce. For those who eat it, please standby a mint chewing gum extra strong or you date will ran away!

How to eat the food? Well, i'm not sure how to really eat it but who cares? i really enjoy the meal. Hope you would try it too!

Owh! forgot to mention the location. its called SAWARABINA restaurant, and the one that we went located at Hartamas Square (google it).

Gonna go food hunting! Daaaaaaa
