Tutti Frutti: Bandar Baru Uda

Front view of Tutti Frutti BBU.

I’ve been to Tutti Frutti a few times at Taman Molek but this was the first time I went to one in BBU with Mr S-I-C. I still remembered the first time I went to Tutti Frutti. I was feeling quite lost because I didn’t know ‘how’ and ‘what’ I’m supposed to do. So, here are a few basic steps before you get to enjoy the ‘froyo’ a.k.a ‘fresh yogurt’.

Inside Tutti Frutti - comfy and soothing.

First, you have to decide the size of the cup – small, medium and large. Second, choose flavours of yogurt that you like by pressing the handle. Third, choose toppings to go with the yogurt. There were quite huge selections of toppings such as fresh fruits, marshmallows, candies, gummies, cereals, chocolate syrup, etc. Once you are satisfied with your ‘creation’, you can bring the cup to the counter and pay. If I’m not mistaken, the price is about RM 5.30 per 100 gram. So, don’t get over-excited and piled the yogurt and toppings in your cup, unless you are willing to pay quite a hefty amount to enjoy it :). 

Small, medium and large.

Choose the flavour that you like.

Mr S-I-C's and mine.

Overall, both of us enjoyed eating the yogurt. Mr S-I-C nearly got a ‘brain-freeze’ eating it because it was cold and we were sitting right under the aircond! =). I was having problem concentrating on the taste of the yogurt because I was shivering =P. But we like it enough to come again, next time. I forgot the exact amount of the price, but it was below RM 30.

Restoran Johan: Perling

Kali ni kami berubah arah ke Perling. Kami ke Taman Perling dan di sana kami temui Restoran Johan yang terletak di tepi highway ke Nusa Jaya.

Kami duduk di meja luar ja. Melihatkan suasana di dalam restoran, nampak cantik juga dengan interior kayuan.

Meja makan di bahagian luar restoran.

 

Baru saja duduk, belum pun order makanan dan minuman, Otak-Otak Ayam dah dihidang. Sedap juga rasanya. Ada 5 ketul berharga RM 3. Terlupa nak ambil gambar maka saya letakkan gambar hasil dari google.

Miss S-I-B order Nasi Goreng Padprik dan saya pula Nasi Goreng Ikan Masin manakala minuman kami berdua adalah air Laici. Kami turut order Telur Bistik.

Kami lepak berbual sambil menunggu order yang lambat juga nak sampai. Nasib baik suasana di situ agak nyaman dan pelanggan pun belum ramai lagi.

Minuman sampai dulu macam biasa. Ok sedap puas. Kemudian makanan kami sampai. Order Miss S-I-B dah silap. Yang dipesan Nasi Goreng Padprik tapi yang sampai Nasi Putih Padprik tapi Miss S-I-B ok ja relax :) Saya tak tau la kat mana yang tak kena, nasi goreng saya tak rasa masin pun padahal saya order Nasi Goreng Ikan Masin. Dok perati, tak nampak pun cebisan ikan masin. Dalam hati mungkin dah dicincang lumat kot. Yang peliknya, dalam nasi goreng saya ada cebisan ayam. Haish saya order yang berintikan ikan masin tapi celah mana pula datangnya inti ayam ni. Sekali lagi, pelik tapi benar. Namun saya tiru aksi Miss S-I-B, saya jadi ok relax jugak :)

Telur Bistik sekadar telur dadar yang dicurah kuah bersos tomato. Juadah kami diiringi bersama sambal belacan, timun dan sepotong dua tembikai.

Untuk makluman, ini adalah kali kedua saya ke Restoran Johan dan kali pertama bagi Miss S-I-B. Awal tahun haritu saya datang dengan kawan bersama keluarganya dan kesimpulannya agak mengecewakan. Saya cakap kat Miss S-I-B, kali ni mungkin sedap sebab mungkin orang lain pula yang masakkan. Namun telahan saya silap. Makanan masih “gagal” sekali lagi. Jumlah tepat kos malam tersebut pun saya dah lupa. Mungkin RM 17.50 kalau tak silap.

Opps Cheese Tart: Jusco Bukit Indah

Opps Cheese Tart

Mr S.I.C suggested trying this cheese tart. It was no surprise since he is a ‘cheese junky’ =). There were 12 different flavors to choose from such as almond, charcoal, strawberry, blueberry, pumpkin, marble, lemon and many manyyy more! The different array of flavors makes us spoilt for choice.

Since both of us were not that hungry, we ordered only two cheese tarts. Mine was strawBERRY whilst he chose blueBERRY. We ate the cheese tart at the shop itself and both of us enjoyed it BERRY much! =)

Mine & His  =)

I like the fact that the cheese tart was pretty to look at and the shop was quite cozy. The woman behind the counter was very nice, attentive and she smiled a lot, which is a plus point.

Each cheese tart costs about RM3.80. However, if you buy more, you’ll get a special price. A box of 6 cheese tarts costs around RM21 and 12 for RM38. Frankly, one is enough for me because the cheesy and creamy taste was quite filling. However, I think Mr S.I.C could eat more than two at one go :)

Nasi Ayam Baser: Kota Tinggi

I heard about this place quite a few times from those whose hometown located in Kota Tinggi. Since this chicken rice was supposed to be so ‘famous’, Mr S.I.C and I were both keen to have a try. So, off we go to Kota Tinggi :)

It turned out that Nasi Ayam Baser has three other franchise, which are located not too far away from each other. It was quite easy to find it because of the big red sign and it is located strategically. However, if you have problems finding it, you can always ask, as locals would definitely know.

Location 1

Location 2

Location 3

We tried two out of the three eating outlets and concluded that it was just on the ‘okay’ level. I think I had set high expectation of this place because many of my friends said that it was really good. So, when the taste doesn’t meet up my expectations, I was quite disappointed. Mr S.I.C said that different people have different expectations and preferences, so they might enjoy the food while others don’t. I couldn’t agree more. So, why not give it a try and you be the judge :)

We ordered two plates of chicken rice that comes with a bowl of soup, ‘sambal’ and roasted chicken. For side dish, we ordered ‘capcai’ (fried mix veggies).

The total was about RM18.50.

Restoran Warna: Ulu Tiram

Kami sengaja gerak ke arah Kota Tinggi untuk mencari “makanan baru” kali ni. Kiranya kami akan berhenti singgah di mana-mana lokasi yang dirasakan sesuai. Last-last kami belok ke Ulu Tiram dan terjumpa Restoran Warna di Taman Bukit Tiram.

Restoran ni ok-elok-bersih-macam baru. Kami pilih untuk duduk di meja luar. Berangin sikit. Tengok dari papan tanda restoran ada tertulis menu seperti sup gear box, asam pedas, nasi ayam penyet, makanan barat dan masakan thai. Makanan dalam buku menu pula seperti biasa terdapat pilihan makanan bergoreng tempatan.

Mula-mula kami order minuman. Miss S-I-B order Nescafe Panas manakala saya order Cikong. Kat tempat saya orang panggil Laicikang, bukan Cikong  :)

Minuman favourite Miss S-I-B  :)

Kemudian saya order Nasi Goreng Nanas manakala Miss S-I-B tak order apa-apa, kenyang dah katanya  :)

Melihatkan kepada nasi goreng saya, saya terkejut kecil memandangkan pengusaha restoran takda usaha untuk mempersembahkan makanan mereka bagi nampak cantik sikit. Kot la kan nak selit salad hijau ka atau hirisan nanas ka atau keropok ka atau apa-apa ja sebagai iringan hiasan makanan. Tapi tak apa, saya diam ja. Saya tetap jamah. Namun dalam 3 ke 4 suapan, saya tak boleh teruskan. Saya panggil pelayan, saya order tambahan Telur Dadar. Rasa nasi goreng dia plain. Bukan la langsung takda rasa, ada; tapi tak seperti nama menu yang dalam tu ada nanas.

Apapun tabik saya pada Cikong. Memang sedap. Rasanya memang benar “ada”. Bahkan isi dia pun cukup banyak. Yang ni saya cukup puas hati. Saya rekemen pada semua.

Total perbelanjaan kami pada malam tu adalah RM 9.50.

Odeen Corner: Larkin Jaya

Seperti biasa saya dan Miss S-I-B keluar mencari tempat makan yang baru. Sebelum tu saya ada google dan jumpa kedai makan bernama Odeen Corner di Larkin Jaya. Kami sebenarnya tak tahu lokasinya maka kami main jalan-jalan ja namun tuah menyebelahi kami bila mana dengan 2 3 kali selekoh ja dah jumpa tempatnya  :)

Ia terletak di tepi jalan besar maka mudah untuk pelanggan melihat papan tanda restoran. Tiada tempat khas untuk meletak kereta tapi tak apa. Tak jadi masalah. Boleh parking kereta di sepanjang bahu jalan. Kami datang awal lebih kurang 8.15 malam. Pelanggan masih kurang. Meja dan kerusi keluli seperti gambar di bawah.

Melihatkan kepada buku menu, menampakkan Odeen Corner menekankan kualiti kerana buku menu tersebut menggunakan kertas tebal dan paparan yang cantik serta kemas. Menu yang disediakan berbentuk "Set" sebagai pilihan, makanan bergoreng tempatan, makanan laut dan makanan barat. Mereka juga menyajikan Durian Goreng sebagai tarikan utama. Tanpa berlengah saya order Nasi Goreng Daging Tomato dan air Nescafe Ais manakala Miss S-I-B pula Nasi Goreng Cendawan berserta Fresh Orange.

Kiri bawah: Nasi Goreng Daging Tomato. Kanan atas: Nasi Goreng Cendawan.

Garnish makanan boleh tahan. Air pula dihidang dalam gelas kaca tinggi. Namun bagi kami, kualiti rasa makanan "bole la nak makan". Senang cakap, rasanya ala kadar ja. Kami hairan, kami order nasi goreng yang berbeza tapi nasi goreng kami sama saja. Sama rupa. Sama rasa. Cuma berlainan lauk tambahan yang mana saya daging dan Miss S-I-B cendawan. Pelik tapi benar  :)

Nasi goreng kami masing-masing berharga RM 5 dan jumlah termasuk minuman adalah RM 14.10. Apa yang saya komen ni adalah dari pengalaman kami. Mungkin di masa lain dan orang lain, komennya berbeza. Antara lain Odeen Corner menyediakan kemudahan take away dengan hanya menelefon untuk order dan juga sudah ada cawangan baru iaitu di Taman Setia Indah.
