Macaron: JP Perdana

When I first saw macarons, it reminded me of soft tiny colourful clouds. It was such a pretty sight that I craved for it ever since. I even managed to drag Mr S.I.C along the ‘journey’ of hunting for macarons in JB :)

Isn't it pretty? :)

We ended up with a box of macarons of different flavours (peanut butter, milo & strawberry). You can order it from Sweet N Delights and choose the available flavours offered.

Our box of macarons was similar like this one. 12 pieces cost RM 25.

                                      

I’m not a sweet-tooth person, so I can’t eat more than two macarons at a time. It is sweet and has soft texture when you take a bite. Those who love anything sweets would enjoy it. But I love it nonetheless and so does Mr S.I.C. Pretty, sweet & classy in one bite  =)

House of Chicken Rice: Bandar Baru Uda

Semalam Miss S-I-B dan saya singgah di House of Chicken Rice di Bandar Baru Uda. Sebenarnya kami bukanlah berniat menuju ke sana pun namun setelah jalan-jalan pusing-pusing kawasan tersebut, kami kata apa salah singgah dan cuba kan  :)

Tempatnya elok, bersih dan kemas seperti baru dibuka namun menurut pekerja di situ, ia telah beroperasi selama 4 tahun dah. Dia siap tanya, "baru kali pertama datang ke ?" hehe ketawa kami.

Ruang makan di dalam restoran yang selesa berhawa dingin.

Menu untuk Value Meals. Di belakang pula ada ala carte seperti biasa.

Kami sepakat nak Set B dengan pilihan ayam panggang (roast) dan sayur taugeh (bean sprout). Manakala minuman ringan bergas kami tukar dengan air jus oren.

Sekilas pandang menu tersebut kami terus teringatkan restoran makanan segera terkenal yakni The Chicken Rice Shop. Ini adalah kerana menu yang disediakan seakan hampir sama dengan TCRS. Cumanya di HOCR ni terdapat juga pilihan makanan sampingan di dalam menu yang berbeza seperti makanan bergoreng tempatan (nasi, mi dll), mungkin sebagai strategi bijak untuk menarik lebih ramai pelanggan datang menjamu selera.

Tudiaa nasi ayam kami dah sampai. Perhatikan Pai Tee di sebelah kiri gambar, Di asingkan bahan isi dia. Miss S-I-B kata mungkin untuk mengekalkan kesegarannya dan mengelakkan ia dari lembab/lembik sekiranya sedari awal dah siap isiannya. Angguk saya setuju hehe. Bebola ikan Sai To belum sampai maka tak kelihatan dalam gambar.

Apabila dikira pelbagai aspek seperti restoran yang elok-kemas-bersih-selesa-nyaman, pelayan yang attentive dan mesra, makanan cepat sampai dan harga yang berpatutan dengan service yang diberikan, kami berdua sebulat suara setuju puas hati dengan HOCR tu. Perbelanjaan penuh kami adalah RM 26.15 termasuk cukai 5 % maka sila la singgah ya  =)

El Migos: Sutera Mall

            One day, Mr S-I.C and I were talking and chatting like usual, when out of the sudden he mentioned about ‘fondue’. I’m not sure how the ‘fondue’ subject submerge, but minutes later both of us are keen to have a try of it :)

            My idea of fondue involves dipping fruits, biscuits or crackers in a pool of hot melting chocolate. However, later I learnt that fondue can either be in a form of melted cheese, chocolates and oil. Since El Migos offered fondue in its menu, so both of us decided to give it a try. We ordered cheese fondue.

The hot melted cheese waiting to be dipped with pieces of fresh celeries, carrots, toasted crunchy bread and fish. (Note: The actual menu was chicken, but we asked for fish). 

Cheese Fondue

                                                                     

The cheese fondue was not that bad. Mr S-I-C loves cheese, so he likes it a lot.  In my opinion, this dish is not meant to be the main course but more to finger food. Since both of us didn’t have our lunch and eating fondue was not satisfying enough, we ordered other dishes as well. I ordered battered fish while Mr S-I-C ordered breaded fish. These dishes were served with chips and fresh garden salad.

Battered Fish & Chips

Warm & Cosy

El Migos restaurant has a nice decoration and ambiance related to 'Mexico'. Personally, I have no idea what Mexican environment should look like, but the deco was quite nice and cosy with warm colours dominating the restaurant. The background music of 70s – 80s love songs adds a plus point for this restaurant though the food was just on the ‘OK’ level  =)

I think you will enjoy eating fondue with your loved ones or close friends as the dish is served in a plate where you have to share it with others. It will be an excellent dish during small social gatherings or for couples. The fondue costs about RM29.90 without the 10% service charge.

JDM Mee Bandung: Kampung Pasir

This place has always been one of my favourites. It is located in Kampung Pasir, not too far away from Plaza Angsana. Even though there are other selections in the menu, I usually ordered the same thing each time. It’s either ‘mi bandung’ or ‘mi goreng basah’. As the name of the place suggests, those who eat here should order ‘mi bandung’ :) (refer pic below) :

Do not be fooled when you read the signboard. It is not open 24 hours. Both of us are not sure at what time it opens, but you have to come at night during weekdays or you'll end up disappointed.

Mr S-I-C and I ordered the same dish - Mi goreng basah which cost about RM3.50 per plate =)

                                                                            Before

                                                                             After

The verdict : We LOVE the taste. The fried noodles are simple yet tasty, not too overwhelming with flavours and the quantity is just nice.

Warning : If you are a BIG eater with a BIG appetite, you should order two plates instead of one =)

Romance Delicacy: KSL City Mall

 Semalam kami singgah di Romance Delicacy di KSL City Mall, Johor Bahru. Asalnya sekadar melihat-lihat apa yang dijual tapi akhirnya kami duduk sambil menikmati juadah masing-masing.

 Jika dilihat sekilas pandang, saya langsung tak sangka yang kiosk jualan pelbagai jenis kek tu adalah merupakan sebuah restoran makanan berasaskan kek. Saya kata camtu sebab semua kek yang dijual diletakkan di luar restoran di dalam kiosk bercermin kaca. Ingatkan sekadar beli dan bungkus bawa balik tetapi sebenarnya di dalam sedikit disediakan ruang makan yang agak selesa. Ada kerusi single dan ada kerusi panjang. Hiasan restoran cantik juga.

Ini ruang makan di luar restoran manakala di dalam pula disediakan kerusi kusyen panjang.
 

 Saya order Tiramisu dan si dia order Chocolate Cream kek. Kek tersebut djual dalam bekas plastik keras seperti gambar di bawah. Order dulu nanti pekerjanya akan hantar ke meja pelanggan termasuk minuman ringan yang bole juga diorder di kiosk yang sama.

Saya punya ni Tiramisu.

Si dia punya Chocolate Cream  =)

View dari luar cermin kaca.

           Bagi saya nak kata sedap sangat tu tak la jugak. Sebab tahap moistnya kurang. Tapi dari segi presentation kek, saya bagi markah tinggi la  :)  senang nak makan, sudukan ja ke dalam mulut. 1 kek tersebut berharga RM 5.50. Saya terlupa dah restoran tersebut terletak di aras mana. Yang saya ingat, ia 1 aras dengan MBO Cinema dan rasanya bersebelahan ja dengan MBO Cinema tu. At least cuba dulu.
