Ikan Bakar Pak Din @ Tanglin

Dengar je ikan bakar sure tak bole resist the temptation..well tengah2 town KL ni memang limited sikit la choice dia, tambah pulak time lunch..
Last time kalau nak makan ikan bakar je mesti pergi Jalan Bellamy, ada few kedai ikan bakar there, but the downside is its freaking hot. Kedai/gerai bumbung zink, what to expect..berpeluh la sambil makan..

My new fav place is at Medan Selera Tanglin, opposite Klinik Tanglin.
So kedai ni nama sebenarnya Ikan Bakar Pak Din, some call it Ikan Bakar Tanglin je..pasal ada satu je kedai ikan bakar kat sini..
For those yg tak tahu, sebelah kedai ni is the famous Nasi Lemak Tanglin..but that for breakfast....
Tempat very cozy, redup je..walaupun ramai orang tak rasa serabut sangat..
Parking pun senang sebab kat food court so ada la parking lot..

Ikan dia standard la..nama pun ikan bakar..so kena bakar la kan..ada ikan keli, ikan pari, ikan kembung & sotong, kerang pun ada jugak.

Yang special-nya, lepas dah pilih ikan apa yang kita nak, diorang akan curah air asam atas ikan..


Always ask for extra air asam..yummmss


Ikan keli & Sotong




Lauk2 lain pun ada jugak..

Satay Tulang Senawang

Semenjak dengar kewujudan satay tulang ni, dah lama teringin nak try, tapi belum berkesempatan..Ada sekali tu singgah masa ondaway balik dari Melaka..belum bukak la pulak..orang jual satay datang lambat hari tu..frust!!!

Finally decide nak pergi jugak, pergi Senawang semata-mata nak try satay ni.. :)
Satay ni sebenarnya nama dia Satay Tulang Jelebu.. maybe owner dari Jelebu kot..tapi dia meniaga kat Restoran Bundo Kanduang..so kalau search GPS kena try la dua2 nama ni.. kalau takde jugak try Giant Senawang..kira dah dekat la tu..depan sikit je lagi..
Camtu la kitorang kena..search GPS ada few Satay..nasib baik penah pergi first time dulu, so ingat2 la sikit..and landmark dia Giant Senawang tu....for you guys takpe, kat bawah nanti I bagi GPS coordinate senang citer..sure sampai..

Masa sampai tu kedai tak ramai orang lagi... tapi yang tapau ada dah..so decide nak order 20 cucuk..datang jauh punya pasal..biasa kalau makan satay me & hubby dalam 10-15 cucuk je..

Sekali akak tu hantar satay dalam dua pinggan..mak aii banyaknye..rupanya secucuk satay tu besar yang amat..kira 2 kali ganda saiz satay ayam/daging..Naik malu kitaorg..hehehe

Mula-mula bayangkan satay tulang ni tulang dia tulang rawan ayam (yang putih lembut tu)..syok jugak ..rupanya memang tulang betul..tapi ada la isi sikit-sikit..

Rasa dia memang best!!! Marinate satay memang sedap..kuah pun sedap..cuma yerla..makan tulang jenuh sikit la..sampai pakai tangan la.. I think satay ayam or daging dia pun sure sedap jugak..


Orang ramai menjamu selera satay


Restoran Bundo Kanduang



Satay2 yang tengah dibako


Price wise still reasonable




Satay Tulang







Kuah satay pun boleh tahan sedap..not bad
p.s: Kalau ikut highway PLUS KL-Seremban kan jam memanjang nak2 public holiday, bole la try guna highway LEKAS..ada exit Senawang..memang lekas..walaupun jauh sikit pasal kena divert ke Grand Saga (Kajang) dulu..tapi hati tak panas sebab jam. :)

Simply Delicious - Char Koay Teow

Tengok kat insta Serina dia dok promote kedai ni..rupa-rupanya this is her Restaurant in collaboration with Sari Yanti. Hmmm...anak Chef Wan punya kan..harus la nak try..sedap ke tidak...

Location senang je..kat The Strand, Kota Damansara. Right next to Ariani. The restaurant is in bright pink so you can't miss it.

From the menu, takde la jual char koay teow semata..ada jugak food lain..but I'm here for the char koay teow...
Hmmm..from the price..it's a tad expensive compared to other char koay teow joints ie Malee, Aimar..
Okay..so how was the food..

To me it's just okay je..maybe give it a 3 star out of 5, cause i've tasted better especially ones from Penang. :)

So, kalau jauh2 semata nak makan sini, maybe tak yah la kot..but if you're around the area can give it a try..
Few complaints though, ordering system - 
Menu memang dah ada atas meja, once you decided what to eat, kena pulak pegi kat cashier to order and pay..hmmm..ni yang membuat kan lambat sikit..dah kena beratur bayar pulak..lepas tu, cashier tu boley pulak tulis satu2 order kita..ni yang buat lambat lagi..
Maybe they're new, but they should improve!!! Kalau nak rekod sangat pun apa yang jual hari tu, tulis la siap2 kat buku tu, pastu tulis kuantiti je..kan cepat.

Next, seat dia..hmm dari jauh memang nampak comel..pasal kerusi tu boleh masuk cantik je bawah meja..masalahnya..comfort kerusi tu memang out..ni memang fail..tak try out dulu ke kerusi sebelum beli..sebab tempat sandar kerusi tu rendah..so bila sandar dah terasa tulang kerusi tu..A Very very big NO NO!!!




Crowd agak ramai, maybe semua 1st timer kot.


Simple & Pinkish Deco


This is how the Char Koay Teow looks like..


Kuey Teow Goreng - agak tawar sikit


Air pun ada problem jugak - teh terlalu pekat, bila minum rasa kelat teh


Here with Mrs Dukie.. :)

The Loaf Bakery

I think most people already know about the loaf, a japanese bakery co- owned by Tun Mahathir.
Ada banyak dah branch sekarang ni..
Breads dia memang lain sikit, simply amazing, apparently they're using flour imported from Japan. So prices mahal sikit la compare dengan bakery biasa yang lain.
But its worth every ringgit..my fav is the cranberry cheese..delish...its very soft and cheese is creamy..more tasty if its preheated..
Pictures worth a thousand words, so just enjoy the pics and have a try at any of their outlets..:)

my Elephant - Thai Restaurant

Thai food has always be my no 1 in my foodie list. Sebabnya, I hantu pedas..:)
First tasted my Elephant food when I was at my cousin's office, she ordered via RoomService Delivery..and it was yummey...

Their main restaurant is at Happy Mansion PJ, but since Sri Hartamas was nearer to me, so pegi branch dia jela.
Location dia is not at the typical Sri Hartamas shoplots yg ramai orang tau, its quite far off and mungkin tak ramai yang tau kat mana, so kena rely on GPS la..

This place is small but cozy, so if you are here a peak hours you do have to wait outside for table.
Oh ya..they also have a lunch set combo, so ask the waiter for more info..

Its my second tasting here, and i still haven't tried their Tom Yam..the irony..heheeh simply in love with their Green Curry..





Simple and nice menu





Restaurant is small..and get easily packed


Thai Roselle herbal  drink


My fav.. Chicken Thai Green Curry


Lupa the dish name, its like sotong goreng oyster


Brown rice..a healthier option




Simple menu but pleasurable..



The food we ordered ni tak pedas langsung..so kalau nak pedas maybe should try their Tom Yum la kot..:)
They serve brown rice, sapa yang tak makan maybe can ask for white rice kot..but brown is way better..

Restoran Hassan - Nasi Ayam Kampung

Location kat food court Veledrom KL, Cheras. Last time kedai ni kat food court tu, now dah pindah kat shoplot sebelah tu, occupying 3 storreys..wow...
Ada few other branches Restoran Hassan ni, kat Taipan USJ, R&R Awan Besar, so pilihalah mana yang dekat dgn korang ok..
Food sini is purely Kelantanese..ala2 Rest Hover kat KB..
As with Kelantanaese food & drink, semua manis sikit, so you've been warned..





Nasi Ayam Kampung, so menu wajib Ayam Kampung la..


Sambal yang merah tu wajib ambik, sedikit manis so campur dgn sambal belacan..mantap!!!


Choices of Ulam




Gulai daging - its Kelantanese at its best..




Sambal belacan pedas & terangkat..


As a cautionary sambal kacang ikan bilis manis skit.




Kedai tiga tingkat...

Satay Sri Melaka & Bakso

Satay Hj Samuri is so overrated, so siapa yg tgh mencari alternatif lain, bolehlah try kat Satay Sri Melaka.
Location kat food court AU5 Lembah Keramat.
Stall yang hujung sekali, senang citer yg paling ramai orang la..:)
Price still reasonable at 80sen secucuk..kuah pun sedap and satay well marinated and cooked to perfection.
Aside from that, my fav here is the bakso..kat KL ni memang payah sikit nak carik bakso orang Melayu so bila dah tau memang jadi hot spot la..
bihun sup & soto pun ada jugak..




Bakso bebola daging dia banyak! tak kedekut..  :)
