Dinner for Two @ Secret Recipe

0 comments Posted by Angeline at 10:00 PM

It was only Me and Mum for dinner on certain nights...And we did not know where to head until we walked by Secret Recipe..and Mum said that it has been quite some time since we last had a meal at Secret Recipe..So I agreed that we should have something different too after a long time..

It's only the two of us..so there is not much to introduce here..I would just like the others to know that we should spend more time with our family..as much as possible..! =) So lets start off with the appetizers..

Carrot and Ginger Soup

Although it sounds weird to have Ginger and Carrot together..it actually tasted good..and Mum said this is something different from all the other soups..such as Pumpkin Soup and Mushroom Soup..

A bowl of the Carrot and Ginger Soup will cost only RM5.50 

Fish and Chips

Fish and Chips ( Up Closed )

I decided to go for the Fish and Chips for my main course..It has been quite some time since I had Fish and Chips..and I love the taste of the batter..as it is crispy and not too salty..

The Fish and Chips are served with a bowl of Tartar Sauce and it will only cost RM 16.00..

Cheese Baked Fish

Cheese Baked Fish ( Up Closed )

Mum ordered the Cheese Baked Fish as she was craving for some cheese on that day..LOLx..

The Fish is wrapped in Cheese with Tomatoes and Baked to perfection..and baked fish is always healthier than Deep Fried..( Unlike my fish and chips..haha )..It comes with baked asparagus and Baked Potatoes..and I love the Potatoes..Yummy..

I did not have a chance to get the price of this Dish..My apologies.. 

Green Tea Ice Blended

Green Tea Ice Blended ( Closed Up )

Me and Mum ordered the same beverage..The Green Tea Ice Blended..which is my favourite..!!

It doesn't taste too sweet and not too bitter as well..the taste of green tea is strong..and it smells good too..Stir it well with the Whipped Cream and it will be perfect..! =)

A glass of the Green Tea Ice Blended will cost only RM 7.00..

I had a great dinner with Mum..its been a long time since we talked about so many things..and also a great way to relax since classes started.. ♥

Father's Day @ Miraku Japanese Restaurant - G Hotel

2 comments Posted by Angeline at 12:00 AM

Last Sunday was Father's Day ( 20th June 2010 )..So me and brother went to meet my Dad for dinner at Miraku Japanese Restaurant at G Hotel..It was my second time visiting the restaurant as during my first visit..the menu did not offer many choices for a meal..until Dad suggested to go there..then it was my second visit..=)

Besides, Japanese Food is one of Dad's favourite food..!

Miraku Signboard

So here we are at Miraku..I was late for dinner..as I went for a movie with Mum...LOLx..
Lucky Dad and brother waited for me before ordering..=)

Miraku Corridor and Entrance

The picture of the scenery looks so captivating..and it was supposed to be darker actually..but somehow it came out different when I took a shot..funny..

Private Rooms

We are seated at the Private Room as Dad already reserved one earlier on during the day..It was difficult to tell which one are the doors to the room..and which one is the wall..LOLx..Its complicated..


Condiments

The Condiments consist of Shouyu ( Japanese Soy Sauce ), Spices in the small bowl, Pepper on the left and toothpicks on the right.. 

Miraku's Menu

No it wasn't the lighting which made it look yellowish..It's the real colour you are looking at..and it's huge..I find it funny that Japanese Restaurant likes huge size Menus..I wonder why..

Table Settings

Somehow I like the Colour of this picture..Perhaps because of the green saucer plate ( Do you know that green is soothing to the eyes? ).. For appetizers..we were served the Natto which is a Japanese fermented beans and it tasted good..!! I finished two bowls as brother doesn't like it..and I was so hungry too..


And before eating..you can clean your hands with the cold towel provided..

Today's Local Assorted Sashimi

Today's Local Assorted Sashimi ( Closed Up )

Dad loves Sashimi..So whenever we go for Japanese..we will order a plate of Sashimi..
Today's Local Assorted Sashimi is the Chef's Daily Selection of Local Seasonal Fish..

I do not really know the names of those fishes above..But what I do know is..the one which is in the middle is the Salmon or Sakae Sashimi and the one which is at the bottom is the Red Tuna or Maguro...If I'm not wrong the one top right is the Kampachi..but this one..I'm just guessing..Sorry..=)


A plate of this will only cost RM48.00

Nabeyaki Udon

Nabeyaki Udon ( Closed Up )

Dad ordered the Nabeyaki Udon for his main course..
Udon is a Thicked white wheat noodle and it is cooked in hot fish stock with vegetables, prawn tempura and egg..and there you go the Nabeyaki Udon..

A bowl of this will cost only RM 20.00 which is the average price for Nabeyaki Udon..

Spider Roll

Spider Roll ( Closed Up )


Honestly..I do not know why this is called the Spider Roll..It doesn't look like a Spider to me..LOLx..

The Spider Roll..consists of scrambled eggs, cucumbers, seaweed and Soft Shell Crab ( which is the main ingredient for this dish )..It is then topped of with sprinkles of fish roes..To be honest..I'm not a big fan of Sushi Rolls..but somehow this one looks different and it caught my attention..

And I did not regret ordering it..!! It was introduced by Jeanie..It tasted good..and I love the big piece of Soft Shell Crab..! Yummy..Just cant get enough of it..

One serving will cost only RM 22.00

Gyu Toubanyaki Zen

Here comes brother's main course..which tasted the best among all our main courses..

Chawan-Mushi

The Gyu Toubanyaki Zen Set comes with Chawan-Mushi, Kobachi, Zensai, Salad, Sahimi including Salmon, Touban Yaki, Nimono, A bowl of Rice and Soup, Pickles, and Two Slices of Watermelons..

Sliced beef

The beef comes with the Gyu Toubanyaki Zen Set

Touban Yaki

If I'm not wrong..this is called the Touban Yaki which is used to cook the sliced beef..Earlier on I mentioned that Brother's main course is the best among all our main courses..and the Sliced beef is the reason why it is the best..It tasted so good that I wanted to order a Set for myself..

Tip : If you plan to order the Gyu Toubanyaki Zen, be sure to order a one Sake Serving to cook with the beef..It tasted so much better together..! *Slurp*  


Green Tea Ice Cream

Last but not the least..The Green Tea Ice Cream which comes along with most of the Sets..Don't you just love the seashell teaspoon?? And the green tea ice cream tasted good too..makes you feel fresh after all the hot sizzling from the beef..

The Gyu Toubanyaki Zen will only cost RM 42.00..Definitely worth it to me.. 

Unadon

Unadon ( Closed Up )

Well..at last here comes my main course..Unadon which is Japanese Grilled Eel on top of White Rice..I did not know what to order..the choices were too many..and I was hungry..So I ordered the first thing I saw on the menu..The Unadon comes with a bowl of Miso Soup..

A bowl of this will costs only RM 26.00

Sake ( Japanese Wine )

Here's the Sake which I mentioned earlier on..brother ordered this to go with his main course..but Dad's doesn't like the taste of this Sake ( Don't really know the name of the Sake ), as it tasted too sweet..and its not bitter enough..

As for me..I just drink it..=) However I strongly agree that it goes well with the beef... 

Hot Ocha ( Green Tea )

I like the engravings on the cups..looks very classy..hehe..and for your information..drinking Green Tea is good for health..especially when you are having oily food..!

I was expecting dinner to be expensive..but it costs only RM181.70..well..can't say that it is cheap..but it is not too expensive too..=) 

Brother and Me!

Hehe..After dinner..I took some pictures with my brother and dad..! He looks weird thou..

Me and Daddy ♥

Finally after so long..I took a picture with Dad..its been so many years...miss my daddy lots..He's getting older..Sigh..but its ok..I still love him lots..♥

Me!

Now its my turn..took it outside of the restaurant with the Miraku Signboard..! =)

Hainanese Delights @ Heritage Hotel 1926

0 comments Posted by Angeline at 1:02 AM

Feel like having some Hainan Food..? Head on to Hainanese Delights..! I recently found out about this restaurant..and finally got the chance to visit..When we first arrived, there were so many people and it was almost full house..!! Business is good during the dinner time..and even during lunch time ( that's what I heard from Mum )..

Back Entrance

We took the Back Entrance as the Car Park is located behind the Hotel and the Restaurant..There are free car parks provided, so you need not worry about any parking fees..There is also a front entrance of the Restaurant which is located on the inside of the Hotel..

Anyway lets look at those mouth watering food..!! *Yummy* 

Spring Roll ( Choon Piah )

For appetizers/starters we ordered a plate of Spring Roll which is also known as Choon Piah in Hokkien, The Spring Roll served at Hainanese Delights are homemade..the ingredients in the Rolls are vegetables ( mainly turnips and carrots ) and crab meat, and it will cost RM6.00 per roll..

Inchee Kay Bin ( Overall View )

Inchee Kay Bin 

Inchee Kay Bin is a type of Deep Fried Marinated Chicken with Traditional Sauce which is also known as Worcestershire Sauce - which is commonly known as Lea and Perrins ( or better known as "Amo Tau Eu" in Hokkkien )..
Inchee Kay Bin is typically served in most Nyonya Cuisine as well as Hainanese Cuisine..!

It will cost RM15.00 per portion..

Fried Ma Mee ( Overall View )

Fried Ma Mee


I always thought Fried Ma Mee is Maggi Mee, LOLx..till the owner said..that fried Ma Mee is actually fried yellow noodles..I wasn't in the mood to have noodles that night..So I didnt really tried the Noodles..A plate of this will cost RM7.90..

Asam Fish ( Overall View )

Asam FIsh ( Closed Up )

Yum...personally I like the Asam Fish..it tasted like Asam Laksa and yet its not too sour or spicy..the curry is mild and I like the smell of peppermint..! I remember Mum telling me that they used high quality fish for this dish..but I cant remember the name thou..

A bowl of this will cost RM52.00..

Chicken Pie


Chicken Pie ( What's inside ? ♥ )

MmmMmm..Yes..I love this one..!! Although I'm not able to consume too much creamy or dairy food, I still love it..and this Chicken Pie is so creamy..and its so good..!! The Chicken Pie is prepared in Colonial Style and topped off with Puff Pastry..There are tomatoes, chickens and mushrooms in the pie..and it only costs RM12.00 for the Small portion and RM25.00 for the Large Portion..

Its good to have a mixture of Chinese and Western Cuisine..!

Macaroni Pie ( Overall view )


Macaroni Pie ( What's Inside ? ♥ )

Can't really compare the Macaroni Pie to the Chicken Pie,it tasted unique to me..but good at the same time..It is salty and sour at the same time..The Macaroni Pie is also prepared in a Colonial Style and topped of with Meringue, the Meringue Pastry tasted like milk and it is creamy..

The ingredients consist of Onions, Tomatoes, Mushrooms and of course Macaroni Pasta..
A Small Portion of the Macaroni Pie will cost RM12.00 and for the Large Portion it will be RM25.00..

Hokkien Fried Mee ( Hokkien Char )

Fried Hokkien Mee ( Hokkien Char - Closed Up )


Again another plate of Noodles except this is a mixture of Yellow Noodles and Bee Hoon..in Hokkien, its is called Hokkien Char..it comes with pieces of squids, vegetables, prawns and meat, which will only cost RM7.90..

Braised Lamb with Lady's Finger ( Overall View )

Braised Lamb with Lady's Finger ( Closed Up )

Not Sure if you are drooling now or not when you look at this picture..because you should be..This is the best dish of all..! Its their signature dish too..! Many years ago, Mum told me there was a restaurant named Hollywood which serves Hainanese Cuisine..and now they are the owner of Hainanese Delights and so the Signature dish..is still the same..!

Somehow, words couldn't describe how good the lamb is..the sauce goes so well with the lamb...and its So SO Tender..and I mean it..Honest! I almost finished more than half portion of the dish..and yet..I still want more..! For those who intend to visit this restaurant..I suggest that you order the lamb..No regrets..! And personally I love cutlets..whether its lamb or beef...as long it is thinly sliced!

By the way, The owner said, the Lambs are imported from New Zealand!!

A plate of this will cost only RM18..and its worth it..! Believe me..=) 

Vietnamese Coffee

Rock Sugar

The owner recommended us the Vietnamese Coffee after our dinner..And surprisingly..the Coffee tasted different from our local coffees..as it does not taste sour and not too bitter..It goes well with the biscotti which is homemade by the owner's wife,and Mum even bought a packet of it, Each piece costs RM2.00..However if you order the coffee, it will all costs RM8.00 per cup along with the biscotti..

For those coffee lovers..please do try the coffee and the biscotti, as the biscotti is crispy and delicious..! And look at the rock sugar..its so unique..It looks like some ancient stones..! LOLx.. 

Mixed Fruit Juice and Orange Juice

For drinks..We ordered a glass of Fresh Mixed Fruit Juice and a glass of Orange Juice..Each costs RM4.50..


A View From the Outside

Took this picture for fun before entering the Restaurant..! LOLx..its actually one of the rooms at the Hotel 1926, and this is the balcony area of the room..It sort of gives me the feeling of the olden days where the houses are build with heritage style..perhaps this is why the Hotel is given the name Heritage Hotel..

Overall..it was a  satisfying dinner..!! *Scrumptious*
