KK Food Reviews

** This cafe serves no pork **

I’ve blogged before on which cafe I always get my dose of juice each week (but if you haven’t read it, it’s HERE). I just LOVE going there and hang out with my fiance (and with friends once in a while), mainly because their juices are really uber delicious, especially my favourite drink, Avocado Juice! Yummy!

And lately, whenever we have cravings for western food, we’d order it here at The Blues (used to be known as Blu Knight Cafe), since they also serve food there as well.

And this is what I always order:

Chicken Chop. There are 3 types of sauces to go with it: Mushroom, Black Pepper, and Mint sauce. I used to get the mushroom sauce, but now I’ve changed it to black pepper. I just think it tastes better with black pepper now.

Also, the chicken does tend to be on the salty side, so make sure you tell them not to put as much salt on it! (or tell them to omit the salt altogether!)

You can also try out their lamb chop here, but the chicken chop is better, IMHO. Sauces available are the same 3 sauces: mushroom, black pepper, and mint sauce.

Give it a try and let me know how it went!

Oh, but take note, if you’re thinking of ordering just water at this cafe, you will still be charged RM1.50, as they only serve mineral waters.

One of my favourite places to eat steak is definitely at JJ Western Food in Damai.

Not only do the food taste delicious (especially with the mushroom sauce), the price is quite reasonable as well.

I had quite a lot of food to eat during tea-time, so by dinnertime, I wasn’t that hungry. So I just ordered the Junior set, the Chicken steak, with the mushroom sauce..

The BF ordered the lambchop, with the mushroom sauce as well. Like me, he really loves the mushroom sauce, too.

My brother came along with us, and he ordered the beef steak, with black pepper sauce. According to him, it was delicious too.

So if you’re in Damai, and would like to have some steak for dinner, then you should definitely eat at JJ Western Food.

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…?

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!

Isn’t that a cool name, Pirates of Borneo?

The steak aroma affected BF and I so much on Saturday night (we even dreamt about it!), that we’ve decided to try it out last night.

So, restaurant name: Pirates Of Borneo.

Location: Waterfront.

This is one of the cool places that you can have your meal right beside the sea, along with a view of the Tunku Abdul Rahman parks. This is also one of the places that you can go to for sunset watching.

So this is the restaurant that we went to. You can have an option of sitting inside the restaurant, or you can sit outside and enjoy the view!

One of the obvious attraction on the sea when you’re here is this cruise boat. It would park right in front of this particular restaurant and play music loud enough to be heard on the mainland.

It’s a beauty, huh!

We then found out that this cruise actually belonged to Pirates of Borneo! We had a chance to chit-chat with the owner about the boat and the cruise packages. To those of you who still doesn’t know, Pirates of Borneo have 2 cruise packages: Fun Cruise (for daytime) and Sunset Cruise (for at night). You can read further on the cruise packages when you come to eat at this restaurant!

This is what it looks like on the middle of the restaurant; you can watch the chef cook up your steak!

This is what we ordered; it’s actually a special promotion listed on the board: steak with side orders, a can of beer, and unlimited salad!

BF had steak with mushroom sauce, and mine was with black pepper sauce. I personally think my black pepper sauce was much better than BF’s sauce!

It’s quite pricey, and the total bill came up to around RM126. The price wasn’t a problem for us though, as long as the food is delicious, which is was!

So if you don’t mind forking out slightly more for your steak, you should definitely try out Pirates of Borneo! Not only will you have a great view of the sea and islands, you’ll also have delicious food!
