TGI Fridays: Thank Good food Is Fridays

Halloween again….. Thank Good food Is Friday, lol. I was walking along Queen’s Bay looking for food on a lovely but tired Friday. Queen’s Bay have many food outlets but some are too boring to walk in or a bit pricey on the style of the meal. I swear to God that for my entire life I haven’t walk into TGI Fridays before, ever since it’s open. So there was a 2 course meal set, any 1 appetizer and 1 entree @ RM 29.90 ++..
For appetizers, I got a plate of Boneless Wings. It was nice and tender as i give it a bite in. come by the side is some sort of Tartar sauce. Don’t really like the sauce.
2nd appetizer, Mac & Cheese. Very hot and crispy this was better then the Boneless Wings. It was quite nice with the hot cheesy cheese melts in your mouth. To my amazed it was cold or warn outside the crispy surface but when u cut open inside it ‘s reveal it’s nice smell of melt cheese.


I order the Southwest Adobo Chicken, according to the menu that this was stated: “Roasted half-chicken seasoned with lemon,garlic,cilantro and herb rub.” It was well season and balance. “Roasted half-chicken” !, my God! and you won’t believe their half-chicken like. It’s huge, really it’s big. after trying my best to finish the half-chicken I was totally full and can’t go for others anymore. the sweet potatoes was the turn down of this dish due to it’s kinda cold on the plate.
This is the famous Shanghai Chicken Salad, nice vibrant color to it’s food to make it quiet appetizing. I had some and felt it’s kinda fresh for the vegetables when it’s in my mouth. The chicken was a bit dry but lucky it was not burn. With some nice tangerine syrup mix with it, you get the feel of sweetness. The funny thing was it’s missing 1 key ingredient, ITALIAN DRESSING and you change this dish to Caesar’s Salad. lol
Well, you guys can get your self to TGI Fridays and enjoy a nice moments there. For any more info can access to this site.

Gelato @ Maxim

Gelato, or the plural gelati, is Italy’s regional variant of ice cream. As such, gelato is made with some of the same ingredients as most ice-creams around the world; milk (and cream), sugar (and other sweeteners), flavorings (fruits, nuts, essences, etc.) and air are the main ingredients. Unlike many types of ice cream, gelato often does not contain eggs. Other ingredients that stabilize or emulsify may be used to improve the shelf life of the product. Gelato can be made using the hot process, which includes pasteurization, or the cold process, which doesn’t require pasteurization. Both processes require a gelato batch freezer, which makes the end product by mixing the ingredients and incorporating air. Like high-end ice cream, gelato generally has less than 55% air, resulting in a denser product. – Wikipedia 2009

Came across the area of Pulau Tikus, just passing around for some craving for some light food. So I saw a Maxim Bakery, thought of some bread or something but went inside and found gelato which have many various flavour to choose from. quiet a reasonable price and it have a very chilly aroma taste. Quiet nice and many flavour to choose, some are not for small kids.
Well, for those who like ice creme can go try this new gelato for an experience you never tasted before.

 

17thOct: Travel & Food >> Ipoh, Perak

Taking a break time from my stress time and head out of Penang for some food. Best next door neighbor to Penang is Perak, well know for their Chinese tradition biscuits, white coffee, Steam White Chicken, Salted Chicken and many more.
But when I arrived there, I was introduce to this mee. It’s called PAN MEE, you can order it dry or with soup. The dry Pan Mee was up to my liking compare to the soup one. Nice texture, smell appetizing and for the price you pay for is very worth it. Into the taste, very nice favourable taste, not so top notch but it’s good. Not over salty among other flavour. The Pan Mee also have those crunchy feel of one kind ingredients that like crackers in it. Not so oily also.

The next one I order by accident cause I though their spring roll will be like very small/medium size but it look to me that I was wrong about it. I order 2 rolls and to my surprise it was kinda big and quiet value for you $$.

Nice smell of the fresh vegetables inside the spring rolls, Was quiet hot when I have it in my mouth and the aroma was appetizing with the many flavour bursting inside my mouth. The ingredients were well balance and it was a nice feeling eating it. Shockingly, inside the spring rolls have those crunchy crackers also. It’s kinda nice, you need try it for your self.

I also order some local Ipoh kuih–muih for desserts. There’s the black sesame seed kuih which is nice but a bit sweet for me. The noodle cake that looks like the Yam Rice cake, which is a bit disappointing due to it’s really tasteless. As for the pastery you see there in the picture, it is a compact chicken pie which have quiet many flavour taste out from the inside ingredients. The chicken pie is the most tasty item among all and it’s kinda very full after eating it by it self .
Well the journey for food in Ipoh was a rush and it is all done within 1 day. Oh..the place to try out this delight is just directly off the Highway, you need to cut into Ipoh throught the way to Jusco and Tesco. The kopitiam is located at teh row of shop lots directly behind Petronas station.

 

Long long wait…

July till October were the most down time for me, time was hard and didn’t had enough time to accomplish everything that I have in mind.

I’m at a well condition at the moment, not really good yet. Lucky for new people I meet have enlighten me more on whats to learn out from. Well, enough of me..lets get back to “FOOD!!” ..
Here’s a catch, this happen during my work at my previous place where there no right time for lunch. So as my co-worker wanted to go out and “tah pau” some food back, I have requested for the same Mee Goreng that he had yesterday and it seems quiet appetizing to me.

The wait was on while the clock past 30 min after he left the company area to go buy the food.
After 45 min, he came back with both hands carrying full of baggage of foods and drinks. Well, it was nice of him to “tah pau” for us all.
When I got my Mee Goreng, it was a shock to every one that the size and portion was amazing huge for 1 person like me to eat it all even if I’m starving to death, I wont be able to finish. So I share with my another friend. To my amazed sometime if the portion at that size wont be able to taste any good or tasteless to me cause expected it will be simply done without any care to the indigents.
It was just nice as the taste was spread through out the portions. Nice light and not too over powering taste. The chillies was just at the right spiciness to my liking.
Well, that was the one and only odd but nice taste Mee Goreng I came across to. The nasi kandar shop that sell this Mee Goreng is located at Bukit Jambul Complex area, direct opposite the main doors of Bukit Jambul Complex at Bayan Baru.
