Its a new place to us. Though we walked passed this place several times. Then an opportunity came. The discounted deal. We thought this could be a good chance for us to try the food here.

With groupon’s deal of just RM19… What am I getting here?

Zouk Cafe Bar Burger or Spaghetti Bolognese + Free Flow Soft Drink.

We are the Burger Aunties Ladies!! All 3 of us chose burger instead of pasta :-p

 The modern yet sophisticated design gave me the urge to try the food.

We made ourselves comfortable. The environment plus the ambiance here is good. Nice place to catch up with friends. Erm…but not a romantic place lar…

 Good hospitality during our visit. Our drinks were refilled constantly without any reminder. **and that ‘somebody’ was so thirsty lo…**

 I’ve read some blogs mentioned that the service here is VERY SLOW & Inefficient. However during our visit, it was fine. Food served pretty quick and quite efficient too.

Assorted cakes are served here. Hope to return for their cakes ^^

 

Wanyi’s choice of Beef Burger

Zouk Cafe Bar Burger served together with coleslaw and french fries. Looks good…too bad, the beef patty was quite dry.

Ashley and I chose Chicken Burger. Apart from the french fries and coleslaw…the burger was so so only.  I felt the lack of juiciness on the meat patties.

 The collapsing burger tower.

 Ashley had a tough time handling the ‘tower’.

 We thought it wouldn’t be enough….so, we ordered an additional plate of Fish Fingers from the menu for RM15++. The fried fish fingers were good. Crispy batter and not too oily.

The potential Zouk Ambassador??? LMAO!!

I’m Popeye the Sailor Man, (poot poot)

I’m strong to the finich
Cause I eats me spinach.
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man.
CUT!!! Nahh….Not that Popeye, the sailor man. This is Popeyes *Louisiana Kitchen*, the well known franchise fast food restaurant. Serving its best Fried Chicken. Ashley been telling me how good about the food. Till 1 day, after so long…I finally got the chance to try. Some even said it tasted better than the well known Fried Chicken in Malaysia.
Lets see if that proven right.
A set of Chicken Meal consist of 2 pcs Spicy Fried Chicken with coleslaw, biscuit with jam and a regular size soft drink for RM10.90. Not really spicy though. But it was crispy, tasty and the meat is tender. Yet its not too oily. While, the biscuit is quite special and rare to see it in other fast food outlet. It has the texture quite similar to scone.
Chicken Sandwich (with Regular Size Soft Drink) – RM8.20. Me likey very much! The fluffy bun sandwiched together with juicy fried chicken patty and fresh lettuce.  Simple yet delicious.
Chicken Rice Bowl (with Regular Size Soft Drink) – RM9.55.
Must have rice in your meal? Here, they may able to satisfy you. A bowl of perfectly cooked rice topped with chicken meat in tasty brown gravy.
Fish Bites – RM4.80
Nicely battered bite sizes of fish. So crispy and no fishy taste….
NOM NOM NOM…
4 pcs Wings – RM6.25
You don’t like the battered version? This is another alternative choice. Which is also a good one. Its tasty and its not dry.
Cajun Fries, the crispy fries with Cajun seasoning is simply irresistible!(texture is quite similar to curly fries)
Mashed Potato (Large) – RM5.20.
One should never miss ordering this mashed potato! Once eaten you’ll definitely falling in love (just like myself). I couldn’t resist the rich brown gravy filled with minced chicken while the mashed potato is so smooth.
Chocolate Surprise – RM4.25.
Sorry, don’t really like the dessert. There were 3 different flavors. All in a small cup. The other 2 flavors are Tiramisu & Strawberry Cheesecake.
So, lets head on to the nearest Popeyes to experience it yourself 😉

Lunch @ Goku Raku Ramen, Midvalley

9 Comments

Cracking our heads to choose an eating place for our lunch seems tough. There are so many choices when you are at a shopping mall. I must admit that Malaysians are spoil with tonnes of food choices. Therefore to make it quick, we look through the ‘list of restaurants’ of Midvalley and finally we decided to choose Goku Raku Ramen. I’ve read several positive reviews from food bloggers whom wrote about this place. No doubt, its indeed a choice and you should try it yourself.

At Goku Raku Ramen, the Ramen Haven serving you authentic Japanese Ramen. The ramen here are made fresh everyday, using the ramen machine. While broth are simmered to perfection for 48 hours to bring out its exquisite taste. If you dislike ramen, well you can still have another choice. You may choose to have rice.

An informative menu…provides simple description on each dish.

Never knew that there are steps to enjoy a bowl of ramen. All I know is just pick up a pair of chopstick and makan! ^^

Hhmm….looks like Wanyi is studying really hard….on the menu.

Ashley was busy texting….

Minutes later, these 2 gals were busy cam-whoring….

The refillable Green Tea – RM2

Plain Water with Lemon Slice – RM2

A blogger wrote, “Chef Kanai San explained that the lemon infused water would clear our palettes better than green tea.“

Ultimate Tonkotsu Ramen – RM20.90

Tonkotsu Broth Noodles topped with Char Siew, Flavoured Egg, Black Fungus, Spring Onion, Leek, Bamboo Shoot, Seaweed and Fragrant Garlic Oil.

If you are a first timer to ramen, I would suggest you to choose Ultimate Tonkotsu Ramen. The broth is on mild side yet tasty. While the ramen is springy.

Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen – RM17.90

Spicy Tonkotsu Broth Noodles topped with Char Siew, Black Fungus, Spring Onion, Bamboo Shoot, Bean Sprout and Seaweed.

If you like something spicy, Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen is definitely a good choice! The spicy broth gives you the ‘kick’. Meanwhile, the bamboo shoot is crunchy yet doesn’t have that ‘weird’ taste.

Goku Raku Miso Ramen – RM20.90

Miso in Tonkotsu Broth Noodles topped with Cabbage, Minced Pork and Fragrant Garlic Oil.

Minced pork were delicious and tasty. Miso Ramen has stronger flavor broth…. However, I find it a lil too oily.

Flavored Egg

I almost forgotten about this egg that I’ve ordered, after I place it aside. Then the gals pointed on the egg, only I remembered. What an old lady I am…. ^^

This egg was good. A slight taste of soy sauce on the outer part. Moreover the egg texture was good too…not too hard or overcooked.

getting ready to eat….

Dinner @ Home Made Fish Head Noodle, Midvalley

8 Comments

Together with Alex, we were roaming around in Midvalley Megamall deciding what to have for dinner. While Mummy, Bro and Sis were still in their shopping spree. Wanting to have a meal at food court where one can choose from varieties of food there. Unfortunately, the food court was so crowded. Therefore we dropped the idea of dinnering there.

Then we discovered this restaurant located the same row as Chili’s and just next to Maybank. Thought it was a good choice though since I wanted to eat something soupy.

Fish Head Noodle is the signature dish. Nevertheless they do serve other food too. ie; rice, porridge, fried noodle. But mostly are with fish.

Articles from newspaper printed on the menu.

Honey Lemon Tea

Try opting for less sweet.

Amra Plum – RM3.80 (recommended)

Amra juice together with plum was refreshing. Not too sour or sweet.

Lemon + Lychee + Plum – RM5.50 (recommended)

Deep Fried Fish Head Mee Hoon – RM9.80 (recommended) -with milk

Having a bowl of hot noodle in an air conditioned room was great. I will not be sweating all over. hahaha…. This bowl of noodle filled with rich flavor broth, tomato, salted vegetables and not forgetting the fried fish fillets and also served with thick vermicelli (mee hoon). The fish was crispy outside and meat wasn’t fishy though. Moreover the serving was quite big too.

Eaten with sambal belacan (not spicy enough for me ^^)

Deep Fried Fish Head Mee Hoon with X.O Sauce – RM11.80 (recommended)

Wanting to try a different version of fish head noodle? This could be a good choice! Slight spiciness on the broth. Equally rich in flavor.

Wanting to have some Penang food even though you are not in Penang?

Little Penang Cafe would be a good choice. It has outlets over major shopping complexes in KL.

 

The business is quite good. Often sees a lot of patrons dining there.

For sure you can’t compare the price with hawker stalls. Here, you gotto pay a lil bit extra, but you can dine in a cosy environment.

 

The kopitiam concept

 

Vernice was trying to cover her face with the menu

 

A cardboard size menu that fits everything in. Complete with details as well.

 

Assam Laksa (RM10.50) – A mouth watering rice noodle dish in authentic spicy fish gravy, mint & fresh vegetables as garnishing.

 

Penang Hokkien Prawn Mee (RM10.50) – Delicious mee & beehoon in spicy prawn and chicken stock. Topped with prawns, tender chicken strips and fried shallots.

 

Char Koay Teow (RM10.50) – Hot from the kuali(wok) with prawns, crab meat, cockles, egg & taugeh(bean sprout).  <—- MUST TRY!

 

Aromatic Chicken Set (RM14.00) – Chicken cooked in dark soya sauce and mushrooms, sambal petai prawns, ju hu char.

 

Acar Fish Set (RM14.00) – Fish steeped in pickle sauce, garnished with fried garlic and ginger, Lobak and Ju Hu Char.

 

Cendol (RM4.80)

It taste good. Because it has nice gula melaka taste. However mom claimed it to be alil too sweet for her.
