Simple Paratha Wrap

Saturday morning and I woke up hell'a early just because I couldn't sleep in any later. Damn... I think I am aging. Since I woke up so early in the morning, I figured I probably should fix a good breakfast for myself. I probably hadn't make a nice breakfast for myself in months just because weekday mornings are too much of a rush and I like to have noodles from the hawker stalls on weekend mornings. Few weeks back, I bought frozen paratha's from Tesco because they were finally on promotion! Still, they cost RM 5 per package and that's equivalent to RM 1 just for a plain piece of paratha. Hence, I still think they are pricey despite being on sale. (heh! me trying to be frugal :P) Initially, I wanted to make it into a paratha roll and slice it up so that I get two pretty rolls for breakfast. Unfortunately, as always, I overestimated my ingredients and I was not able to roll it up. Well, that's okay since I decided to just fold it into two and call it a wrap ☺☺☺

Ingredients:

1 plain paratha

1 small tomato (sliced)

2-3 leaves from butterhead lettuce

1 frankfurter sausage

1 egg (beaten and seasoned with salt and pepper)

Sriracha sauce

The Cafe BBQ Chicken [One City Mall, Subang Jaya]

Around 3 months ago, I celebrated my Yeobo's 21st birthday with her at One City Mall. Of course, dinner was my treat. We had a good time, talking about her job, her work relationships, her love life etc. Oh, she even brought me up all the way to the 10th floor of One City Mall which is where the SkyPark is located. It was a place so high up, you can practically see most of USJ, Subang Jaya :D I totally loved it.

So, for dinner, we went to this place called The Cafe BBQ Chicken which I can't really tell what it specializes in. My guess is it specializes in some Korean flavour chicken thing, so we went in and tried it anyway. 

So, we started by taking a veryyy long look through the menu.
Sometimes, the hardest decision is to decide what to eat.

After I decided what I would eat, she was still deciding what to eat.
So, I used the free time to take pictures of the interior of the restaurant.
This picture is the section deeper into the restaurant. The glass door at
the other end opens to the exterior of the mall. 

Well, you also have a stairs which leads to the upstairs dining area.

But, it was not open for seating that day.

We were seated right next to the counter. It makes calling for service easier :)

So, after we ordered and stuff, it took about maybe 15-20 minutes at least for our food to come. The drinks came before that of course, so no complains about that.

Dear Yeobo had this nice little mug of Caffe Mocha ♥ RM 8.90 

and I, well... I like cold drinks so I chose Pineapple Mint ♥ RM 8.90

Next up, Yeobo's Korean Charbroiled chicken meal that comes with 2 or 3
side dishes ♥ RM 17.90

This was my Original Barbeque meal that comes with 2 side dishes ♥ RM 18.90

To be honest, I personally think this cafe is charging an above average price for the portion of food that they're serving. No doubt, their food tasted okay. Oh wells :)

Location of the store:

One City Mall,

A-GF-03, Jalan USJ 21/10,

Subang Jaya, Selangor.

Happy eatin' ☺

Sushi Cake [Rice Cooker Recipe]

Today is the 20th of March! Today is his 21st birthday! Hurray!!! *partypoppers*

To mark this special birthday, I planned ahead and made a special cake for him. Yup, it is the sushi cake. The reason why I thought of making a sushi cake is that: he has this constant craving for sushi. Every 2 or 3 days, he will be whining about wanting to eat sushi, pleading me to just give him some sushi rice and seaweed so that he can satisfy his weird cravings! Therefore, I just thought like, "Hey, maybe I can do a fusion of something like a cake and also like sushi?" I did try to Google for sushi cakes but all I get are pictures of sponge cakes decorated with fondant sushi. That's not what I am trying to look for, and I couldn't find a recipe and tutorial available online. In the end, I just decided to create my own version of a sushi cake. 

Tadaaa! This is my sushi cake! ♥♥♥

Ingredients:

2.5 cups of raw Japanese rice

1 cup of sushi vinegar

Mayonnaise

1 can of tuna in brine

1 small avocado

Several cherry tomatoes

21 medium-sized prawns

1 packet(box) of Korean roasted seaweed

Salt

Burger Bakar Abang Burn [Alor Setar]

About a month ago, I went to Alor Setar again with my friends to have a day trip for them to settle some stuff. Once we reach there, we had Nasi Lemak Ong. To my friends, it was their first time having Nasi Lemak Ong and they were all very excited about it. Obviously, they loved it very much too, despite the fact they had to queue very long. At night, before heading back to campus, all of us decided to have burger bakar for dinner. If you're Malaysian, I'm sure you know burger bakar is the 'in' thing now! There is burger bakar everywhere!

So, the one we went to was Burger Bakar Abang Burn. This one is quite famous and I guess many people have been talking about it. When we finally reach there on that fateful night, it was raining cats and dogs. Thank goodness there was a huge umbrella in the car to at least give us some cover but our sandals were totally soaked through. The only parking was at the roadside in front of the shop so I guess there isn't much we can do to avoid the rain.

So this is the exterior of the shop. It was raining heavily so it is unavailable
for seating.

The interior of the shop is brightly lit and clean. Thank goodness, this is
a burger bakar shop rather than a stall only.

So, we took turns to order at the counter. The moment we enter the shop, we will see the grill and cashier anyway, so you can make your order there. 

This is the menu if you guys want to know the items and also the price.

Yup, this is where you order it. 

If they have a few patties already grilled before you arrive, then you need not wait long before your burger is served. If what you order is not yet cooked, then it does take some time for the burger to be ready. So, if you're hungry, ask them which burger can be served up the fastest! :D

This is my friend's burger. I guess it must be one of the Supremo's that comes
with three sausages and also cheese. But I don't remember how much he paid for it!

This is my Burn Cheesy Lamb ♥ RM 11.50
PS: The onion rings on top were pretty much cold, though.

Happy eatin' ☺

Hotmas Restaurant - SUPER BIG PORTION!

So two days ago, boyfie suddenly woke me up from my evening nap and told me we are going to dinner outside of campus. Like, the word 'food' itself led me to an immediate wake up, two splashes of water on my face, a few combs down my tangled hair and I'm ready to go. Yes, the power of food... especially non-campus food. He said we are going to go try Hotmas, which he heard about from some of his friends and he knows the restaurant sells a local kind of Western food. So, we set off and headed towards town again.

FYI, this isn't my photo, I found it in Google and used it here.
I arrived around 7PM at night, so it was darker and the sign board was lighted up.

We parked the car slightly before the restaurant and walked towards it. Most of the time, we find these places with the help of Waze (an app in my iPhone which is too damn useful ) and go around trying new places for food.

This is the interior of the restaurant. It is neat and tidy. Good enough for a
comfortable dinner!

It is a combination of two shops so there are two sides of the restaurant.
Still, it is always almost full during dinner time! The crowd is really satisfying!

While waiting for our food to come, I found out they even have their own
chilli sauce. Taste like McD's chilli sauce to me :P

After about less than 10 minutes wait, my order came first! It was super quick service!

This is the dish I ordered.
Grilled Chicken with Black Pepper Sauce ♥ RM 10

annnd then, his gigantic order came! Look at the size of the chicken.
Chicken Chop with Oriental Sauce ♥ RM 10

As we finished our main course, suddenly boyfie said he feels like trying the fried rice here. Although I was already super full even before I actually finished my chicken and he was also quite full already, I decided to share a plate of fried rice with him. So, I went over to the counter and add on an order.

I ordered Nasi Goreng Paprik ♥ RM 5
and this gigantic plate of rice came to us! :O
We finished it anyway, haha!

To us, we think this place is really good. The place serves good food which are gigantic in portion. What else can a hungry student with a frequent tight budget ask for? For God's sake, even the drinks here come in bigger sizes. While we were eating, we saw a waitress carry a glass of water which is about the size of jug to a nearby customer. The table next to us had like plates of lamb chops/steak which are as big as the size of the plate itself. I am definitely, definitely, definitely coming back to try that.

Location of the shop:

27&26, Jln Pahlawan, 

Taman Lagenda Indah,

Sungai Petani, Kedah

Opening hours: Dinner time.

Happy eatin' ☺

The Dining Cafe - p.a.t.h.

Guess what guys, today I received a sweet surprise from my partner and we went out for our first date :)

Therefore, I am going to share about the cafe that we went to for our dinner date. The cafe has great ambience, beautiful modern woodwork and also very tasty food! I have never been to a fusion-kind of cafe like this and still taste great food! Awwww, I still feel so yums to the tums now! I wish I was still there now, enjoying my meal! 

So, tonight we both had set meals which are pretty worth the deal (in my opinion, of course).

First, I'll show you my set meal. It is called the Teriyaki Salmon with Rice meal which comes with the main course, one slice of cake of your choice and also a glass of drink! All these for RM20+ (couldn't remember the exact figure).

This was the superb teriyaki salmon. It came with a bowl of rice which
I did not capture in this picture. Even after it has turned slightly cold,
the salmon was still very tasty. Plus, even the sweetcorn tasted yummy!

This is their homemade pumpkin cake. I doubt many people had tried such
a cake before. It has a really special texture, but it was just okay for me.
Don't be fooled by the picture though, it really isn't too big in size.

Next, I'll show you his set meal. It is called the Homemade Hamburger Steak which is basically made up of pork. It comes with the main course, a bowl of homemade mushroom soup which is super creamy and delicious, plus a glass of drink. This set cost RM 16.90, this I am sure :P

The pork patty was soft and succulent with the barbeque sauce all over it!
The patty was thick too, so it is filling enough for dinner :)

We also ordered an ala carte which are these pork meatballs. God, this is by far the bomb of the night. Have you ever tasted anything so crispy on the outside but soft and succulent on the inside? No? Man, try this!

This p.a.t.h. cafe is by far the most interesting cafe I've ever dined in, in Sungai Petani. I never thought such place even existed in such a small town! All thanks to my sayang who asked the local students and found out about this place through them! Since this cafe is really modern and stuff, they have their own Facebook page and also their very own blog! Check them out to get the latest info about promotions from this cafe :)
