KK Food Reviews

It’s been a while since I’ve had western food, so my partner-in-crime and I went over to Restoran Eddie over at Heritage Plaze in Lintas for our chicken chop and lambchop!

Now this shop is quite confusing, as the shop’s name is Restoran Eddie, but the stall’s (?) name is is Harris D’ Corner. I noticed that they have a new menu now, too: Sirloin & Tenderloin Black Pepper Steak, and Grill Salmon.

Menu on the wall

This is my chicken chop. It’s 2 pieces of deep-fried chicken thighs. It’s a LOT, I tell you! Only eat this when you’re very hungry! Or have a big appetite.

BF’s classic lambchop with peppermint sauce. Now I don’t know if it’s just me or what, but almost every western food outlet I go to, there would have some smell on the lambchop, and it’s quite a turnoff for me. And this time around, BF said there were slight smell, too. But he finished the food anyway.

Do any of you experience this strange smell when eating lambchops? It can’t be just me, right…?

Thank you so much everyone for linking to this blog and checking it out from time to time. To tell you all the truth, I didn’t think there would be so many people who would check out this blog, but boy, was I surprised when people actually comes up to me and asks whether I am the author of this KKFood blog. And then they would proceed on saying that whenever they have a mindblock on where to eat, they would always check out this blog!

Well, I’m glad that I could be of help to you all. But of course, doing this blog do take some of my time; not the photo taking part during meal, but the cropping and editing of the pictures, and thinking of what to say were the problems I usually encounter when doing food reviews.

But hey, this blog is a PR3 now, and has been for a few months now. Thank you so much again for linking back this site to your blogs and spreading the word.

Now I’m off to submit this blog to a new blog directory. I need to spread the news more about the delicious food here in the city! Stay tuned for more reviews soon!

Eatery: Borneo Tribes Kafe

Location: Damai Point, Damai.

Finally get to sample the food here at Borneo Tribes Kafe, and for the first time, BF and I sat on the inside too!

My siblings and BF would always come here four our happy hour session whenever we needed to do some drinking and some chit-chatting. But previously, we would often just outside and have never experienced the inside yet..

Until now.

The inside is beautifully decorated with a touch of Borneo to it. We like!

This red couch looks really comfy, too!

They also have signatures of Acha and Irwansyah (stars of the Indon movie Heart) who also loved the oxtail dish!

Even the lights are not spared from being unique

And the tablemat too!

Only RM18++

So this is the famous dish, the Oxtail Assam Pedas. The kafe’s signature dish, and rumoured to be even better than the oxtail dish in Hyatt? I’ve never tried the oxtail in Hyatt, so I have no say in this.

But seriously, the Borneo Tribes Kafe’s Oxtail Assam Pedas is to die for! No joke! It tasted so delicious, even though on the spicy side, and me, someone who doesn’ t really know how to eat spicy food, was literally crying while trying to finish my food (which I ate together with the sambal belacan)! But hey, I did finish it, with tears running down and all; it was THAT good!

BF had this dish (I think it’s the Mixed Grill). Not as delicious as mine, and the meat was quite hard.

So, all in all, I truly enjoyed my Oxtail dish, and can’t wait to have it again! I recommend all of you who can eat spicy food to try this dish as well, and to enjoy the calm and relaxing environment of Borneo Tribes Kafe.

I have just found another favourite coffeeshop to go to: Kedai Kopi Dat Seng over at Inanam Business Centre!

Here, they serve a variety of food, e.g. Kon Lo Mee, but the main specialties of this coffeeshop would have to be their fish head meehoon, and tom yam mee!

For this fish head meehoon, you can have a choice on whether you want the fish to be fried or steamed, and with the salted veggie, ham choy or not. I always get the one with ham choy, and my fish to be fried. Delicious! Portion is not bad, too!

If you want some cilantro on your dish, you can just ask from them, and same goes to the tom yam mee.

BF always orders the tom yam kueh teow, and I must admit, the soup base for the tom yam is quite delicious! If I wasn’t a fan of fish head meehoon, then I would definitely order this everytime! (Pay no attention to the mess on the sides of the bowl; the staff would quickly bring the food over that it often spills out on the way..)

For this dish, you can order either fish (fried or steamed), or prawns to be mixed into your tom yam mee.

This is their kaki ayam dish. Interesting, huh? It’s not the normal kai-kiok dish with the soya sauce, this one is without the bones, and made into sort of a sambal dish, and it’s quite sour. If you’ve got gastric, better don’t order this!

So, who wants to join me to go eat there the next time?

Tried out the unique Spanish restaurant called Barcelona Tapas Y Cava at Warisan Square a few days ago.

Some brief Spanish lesson for the title of this restaurant:

The inside decor..

After ordering, we received our first complimentary dishes, the Today’s Special, Sangria ‘D’ Most. It’s actually a bunch of fruits blended into this interesting drink..

The BF ordered Virgin Mary just to see what it tastes like, and I ordered Lime Colada

This is our second complimentary dish, Cheese Nuggets. The cheese is imported all the way from Spain, and in fact, we were told that all of their ingredients are imported from Spain!

This is Perinyaca, a mix of potato, tuna chunks, eggs, onion, as well as tomato in olive oil. Simple and yet, delicious dish!

Next dish that arrived is this: Gambas al Ajillo. It is basically prawn cooked in garlic oil and dried chilli. Since I love prawns, this is one of my favourite dishes!

Our main dish is this: Paella Mixta. This dish is made of the traditional Spanish yellow rice, cooked with seafood, beef, chicken, and of course, some vegetables. Delicious!

After we were all done, we got another surprise from the chef, another complimentary dessert. I had forgotten the name of it, but this is cream with sugar. Very simple dish, and yet, tasted excellent.

I was also told that a new chef will be a different one every 3 months, so you can be assured that the menu and the food preparation will surely be fresh and different! I would surely come back to this restaurant again, especially on the Opening Day!

If any of you would like to have a meal that is authentic and unique cuisine, then you should definitely try out this restaurant! The food is excellent, the decor is very apt, and Spanish music playing in the background while you dine.

Passed by Emperor’s Delight several times and saw that it was always full of people. So curious as to what kind of food they sell, I too went there recently..

The entrance (it’s located opposite of Esso Station downtown)

What the inside looks like without most of the customers

Some of their signature dishes

Their cooks busy preparing the food, especially La Main (spelt by them, but shouldn’t it be La Mien? Hmm..) It’s their special mee, by the way..

The first dish that arrived. Presentation skill is certainly not there, as the veggies were hanging out of the plate!

This is Shanghai Bun, a dim sum dish..

This is the inside.. filled with the soup and meat. You have to drink the soup first before eating the meat. But be careful though, the soup is scorching hot!

A dish that looks (and tastes) just like Murtabak. It’s a Meat Pancake, as they call it..

Their signature dish, the La Main. But unfortunately, I just don’t see what the fuss is about on this mee, tasted quite plain..

Out of all the dishes that were ordered, I only like the Shanghai Bun, and the veggies, despite its leaves were hanging onto the four corners of the plate.

Guess some people would like this place, but to me, it’s just another coffeeshop, with aicon.

Quite a lot of people have told me that the best fish and chips in KK would have to be at Fish & Co. in Warisan Square. The place have been opened for quite some time now, but it was only recently that I had several chances to try it out..

Just a short detail of Fish & Co.: todate, they have 13 restaurants in Singapore, 4 in Malaysia, and 9 other franchise outlets in countries like Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, Dubai, and as well as Hong Kong.

Location of Fish & Co. in KK is difficult to miss; it’s located on the Ground Floor of Warisan Square beside another eatery called La Manila.

The front of the eatery..

The inside decor..

Each person is served with these..

For starters, we ordered the Fried Calamari. Delicious!

I asked BF to have this dish. It’s actually called “The Best Fish & Chips In Town!”. That’s not too difficult to remember, is it? Check out the fries; they’re chunky and quite a generous portion of it!

Since I had what BF had the first time I came here, I had this particular dish this time around: New York Fish & Chips.

The first time I was here, a friend of mine tried this: Wrasse Piccata. Looks good, doesn’t it? Think I’ll have to try it out the next time I’m here!

The prices of the food there are very reasonable, despite the nice decor and the ‘expensive’ ambience. The place can seat up to 100 pax, but you will find the place full of people on most days. And when we went there for dinner just now, there were no seating, so we just left our phone number with the waiter, so he could just ring us when a table becomes available. And true enough, they rang us within 5 minutes!

I was also told about the energised staff singing the birthday song for the birthday boy/girl, and I witnessed it myself just now; it was really interesting as all the staff there all stopped what they were doing and gathered around the birthday person and gave her a hyped-up, toe-taping, hand-clapping rendition of the Birthday song in 3 different languages (Malay, English, and Chinese)!

So the next time you want to bring your friends or family to dine out, you should really consider going to Fish & Co. You won’t regret it! That place is yummy yummy!

Yup, it’s the Durian season again! You can find them at several places here in KK, at Jalan Segama, underneath the pedestrian bridge, at Tanjung Aru first beach, and also at Jalan Sulaman, near the roundabout at Jalan Sulaman/Kingfisher roundabout.
