Mom's Laksa

Mom's Laksa! Well.. This doesn't mean my mum prepared laksa. It's the name of the shop. Located at Matang area, the coffee shop started off from a small business stall at home. Due to its popularity and good business, it grew BIGGER. Claimed to be Sarawak's No.1 Laksa in some people's list especially for Halal eaters, we must give it a try! When we got there, I still find the original stall there, but we still get to their new shop which is located at the shoplot just opposite the road.

Laksa! Not bad.. Thick gravy.

They also served Mee Jawa there, but we only ordered the Satays as we had a bowl of Laksa respectively.

Delicious satays which took them some time to grill them.

KL Food Hunt #12: Nirwana Maju

Yo! It had been ages since I blogged. Too busy lately. Hopefully I will get into pace soon. Continuing with our food hunt in our June's West Malaysia short trip, our next station was also at a Malay Restaurant at Bangsar Village. This was suggested by Ivy where we had our dishes served on a banana leaf.

This was the assorted sides served along with the rice for everyone of us.

Apart from this, we ordered some Malay dishes to be shared too.

Ayam Masak Merah I think.

Sambal Sotong.

Chili paste Fish.

Yummeh~~ Terribly full! Foods here were rather spicy, but appetizing!

Had a short walk at the mall~~ :)

Melaka Food Hunt #1: Klebang Coconut Shake

It's a hot afternoon, so the 1st place in Melaka we hunt for was the famous Klebang Coconut Shake. It was also recommended by Kevin's Melaka friend. With Waze and the vision of the long queue, the place was easily spotted.  

The queue was no joke.

Lots of shakes in process~

After queuing for some time, just realize that they also have a dine-in section. Outside is only for take-away.

A short walking distance into the dine-in area.

Shorter queues inside, but also as crowded, we got ourselves a table and were served with Nasi Lemak immediately. Just joking.. Gary and Ivy who went inside earlier grabbed us packets of Nasi Lemak as almost all people around were seen indulging in it.

Nice little packet of Nasi Lemak which consisted of the fragrantly sweet and spicy Belacan, quartered hard-boiled egg and some ikan bilis. Yummy! 

Okay~ So after some waiting, here came our Coconut Shakes!

Blended Ice and Coconut, topped with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream. Good and cheap (RM2). 

HAHA!

Astana Grilled Burger & Satay

Astana Grilled Burger is one of the famous burger stalls in Kuching. It is operated by Malays, so it's Halal. Operating the business at their house along Jalan Astana, they allocated a little outdoor dining area for customers to enjoy their homemade grilled burgers. Selling a couple of different types of burgers, we opt for the Overload Chicken Grilled Burger (RM 7.50). As I had some difficulties in biting, so I only had the chicken meat and had it like having western cuisine. >.<

Chicken meat with an extra slice of pineapple added with extra charge. Quite nice. :)

Our main purpose here was actually to have the satays from the neighbors as our friends said it was good. Like Astana Grilled Burger, they also set up dining spot at their garden, so we just walked over to grab some satays!

Got ourselves Lamb, Beef and Chicken!

Huge lamb chunks on the skewer (RM1.00 each). Delicious, but have a definite amount of fats.

Chicken Satay (RM0.50 each). Nice too!

Beef Satay (RM0.50 each). Love this the most. The meat was tender, not too chewy for me to munch.

Mag's Brithday @ Cafe Cafe

It was Magdalene's birthday eve. All of our former course mates decided to gather to celebrate her birthday. It was long since all of us can manage to spare some time to sit together and talk. All busy with our own stuffs. This time round, they planned to have a lunch gathering and celebration at Cafe Cafe. From the fusion menu offered, we also had a fusion of asian and western cuisines depending on what we preferred to eat.

Broccoli with Prawns and Mushrooms (RM22). 

Turkey Ham Salad with Apple Cider Vinegar (RM15). Topped with lots of grated parmesan cheese, the salad served in the apple cider vinegar was good except for the onions which I dislike. :P

Spaghetti Bolognese (RM16). Huge portion for this price.

Nyonya Kapitan Chicken Rice Set (RM16)

Beef Masak Hitam Rice Set (RM17). All the rice sets come with side dishes of keropok, fried okra and achar. Looking so yummy!

Tomato & Cincalok Omelette Fried Rice (RM15). Contained within the omelette, the fried rice portion was huge. Samson seemed to be enjoying his plate of fried rice a lot. 

Grilled Norwegian Salmon (RM28).

Deep Fried Breaded Chicken with Spicy Prawn Sauce (RM22). 

The long awaited Creamy Baked Chicken Chop Rice (RM19). Topped with cream sauce and cheese on top of the chicken chop, the buttery fragrant chicken rice was baked for quite some time before served. Although fragrant, it was kinda oily just like chicken rice.

Tuna Toast (RM13). Although it was stated as a side dish. this dish looked like a main course to me. Big big size and it looked so deliciously great with the creamy tuna and cheese on top of the toast! 

Finally with our lunch done, it's time for cake presentation session! Chocolate Coffee Cake from Mickey Cake House. Not bad. Not that sweet.

:D

Dinner @ Cafe Cafe

After being much raved by bloggers and also me, my mum was eager to try out the foods at Cafe Cafe, so I took her here for dinner! As usual, the place was so packed despite it's a Wednesday night.

Chicken Salad (RM12). As I was on clean food normally on weekends, I did not want to go for too fattening dishes, so got myself the chicken salad in which I requested my sauce to be served separately. It was kinda huge in portion with the Chicken cooked in their special sauce which somehow looked like Rendang, but not. Good.

Mee Mamak (RM12). My mum saw some people recommending this dish, so she gave it a try. Big dish again! I think I took quite a lot. =.= Slightly spicy and sweet. Tasted quite good, but a little bit over-mushy. Would be better if it's drier. 

"Unknown name" Malay Coffee Shop, Satok

Ok. So there's this unknown Malay coffee shop which we happened to drop by after our visit to Dr. Liew's Dental Clinic at Satok area. We were driving around Satok area in search for good breakfast options and saw this crowded place. Packed with Malays, so we were expecting delicious Malay foods for our empty tummies. All the stalls inside were operated by Malays, but the coffee shop was actually run by Chinese. 

Laksa!

Mee Jawa with Satay

Mee Daging. Delicious bowl of Mee Daging!

All the foods were not bad, thou not the best in my list la.. Hehe..

Nasi Briyani @ Buhari Cafe

According to George, this Buhari Cafe serves the best Nasi Briyani n Kuching, whether it's Ayam, Kambing or Lembu. It's located at the busy Satok area, along with the stretch of shop lots with KFC, facing the flyover. They really prepared tongs of nasi briyani. Business must be really good. 

Nasi Briyani Ayam (RM8). It was really quite good. Tender chicken meat with the fragrantly cooked rice.

Roti Canai (RM1.20). Their roti canai was good too! Crispy texture and goes best with their Dhal. 

They have other Mamak food choices like Mee Kari, Rojak, Nasi Campur with a few choices to select from, Murtabak and so on. All their foods have reasonable quality and taste, but as usual, Mamak or Malay foods are usually more pricey.

Variety Food Cafe

Not sure whether many are aware of this Variety Food Cafe or not, but it is always quite packed. It's located at the corner shoplot, just opposite The Spring Shopping Mall, next to ST3 Shopping Mall. This cafe might not gain its popularity yet, but there's one Chicken Rice shop named Alex's Chicken Rice surely did. Selling chicken rice for the whole day, Alex, the owner, definitely stock lots and lots of chicken, both fried and steamed. For his fried chicken rice, it's not just plain Fried Chicken, but Alex prepares a variety of sauces - Thai, Salad and Honey Lemon to go along with his crispy chicken.

Fried Chicken Rice (RM5). For just RM5, this was really a generous amount. Not to mention his crispy and tasty chicken meat, nicely covered with the sweet and spicy Thai sauce I opt for.

In Variety Food Cafe, not only chicken rice was sold of cos. As the name goes, "Variety" means having choices. There are also Malay Cuisines, Toast Sets and so on.

Cheese, Egg and Ham Bun. Looks good.

Minced Meat on Tortilla (forgotten the price).

 

There are a lot more of great food, but this stall has moved to the Shanizam's Kafeteria just next door to the other side of Spoon Cafe.
