Mein and I went to PD on my birthday and had this fantastic Malay food in Jom Makan. We had "telur bistik" and seafood tom yam. Both of these dishes brought me back to Kedah where I used to enjoy Malay food to the max! Great!!! Sedapppp….

Good food… good environment… good service… good companions…Simply marvellous!

Had enough listening to recommendations and comments about this specific restaurant but I have just got the chance to pay them a visit last Friday. Good enough that it came out to be a slightly above average kind of restaurant. You actually need to do reservation first before going there to have dinner – buffet style.

 

I rate the service there good. The waiters there are attentive and patient in explaining the type of food they serve and how they serve. They are prompt as well. Although there was a small misunderstanding there before we can proceed to have our dessert. But that did not spoil my day! So let’s not mention it.

 

Anyhow, my personal favourites are Thai Spicy Lamb, Grilled Lamb Chop & Tako Sunomono (Diced Octopus marinated in Sweet and Sour Sauce). I never regret ordering Thai Spicy Lamb because it is indeed a very authentic dish. I love the aroma and the milky coconut milk taste of the spicy Thai sauce. But my girlfriend does not like it because of the smell. Well, it’s all depending on personal preference.

 

Tako Sunomono is another must try dish. My girlfriend had at least 3 plates of this because it is indeed very appetizing and not very filling. Very suitable to be eaten in between heavy meals as snack. This meal is actually diced octopus marinated in sweet and sour sauce. With a little bit of cucumber and dried fish slices.

 

Motoyaki Scallop is also recommended. But anyhow, according to my girlfriend and his brother, the original great effect is gone and it is lacking. But for me, it is good and a novelty to me. Scallops in thousand island sauce… Yum yum!!!

 

Another dish we ordered more than 3 times is Grilled Lamb Chop. You try it and you’ll love it! Or else, regret it! There are other dishes like Yakitori and Kushi Yaki (both grilled chicken and seafood in stick). Salmon with Papaya is also another special dish to me. It’s strange to mix a tropical fruit with Amazon fish together but this dish actually made it.

 

Besides the food, I also like the environment there. The table that we’ve got is very much secluded and I do feel the personal time there with my girlfriends family members and I do enjoy my time there. The decorations and interior design are giving presenting a calm and peaceful feeling for me.

Penangites may know this place. It’s just located in Jalan Pinang (opposite the police station). The asam laksa stall and cendol stall are even featured in a tv show called "Ho-Chak" which features good local delights. I never fail to drop by for lunch every time I come to the island. Although I did notice that the price for both the cendol & asam laksa have increased lately, but people are still keeping their loyalty to the stalls. Whenever you have time, do drop by and try. Good food are meant to share, ain’t it?!

Su Kian is now managing a restaurant with her cousin sister in Cheras. A small-sized girl coming from a small place in Pahang with a big ambition and resistance. She can develop fast and learn fast coping with the ever-changing environment in a big city like KL. Syabas!

 

Ready 2 Eat is the name of the restaurant and it’s located in Taman Putra. Eye catching billboard with lights blinking around it. It serves French cuisine with fushion.

 

Going there with my close friends from Uni, Samantha and Jia Ming, we ordered a few chef recommended meals and looking at the menu itself has already tempted us to order more. The price is very reasonable and the food looks good! Even in a picture.

 

Samantha ordered cola float, well-known for having a scoop of vanilla-flavoured ice-cream on top of a glass of coke. She also had seafood rice. (Do not know what it’s called according to the menu but it sure taste good). She also ordered mashed potato which is specially topped with tomato puree, mushrooms and cheese. This is the most recommended dish from all of us. Good try!

 

Jia Ming and Mein had chicken chop. The whole presentation of this dish is well-arranged. Chicken, mashed potato, salad, and rice arranged on a long-shaped plate. Good arrangement & easy to maintain.

 

I ordered a plate of Spaghetti "Fruit De Mers" (aka Seafood Spaghetti). I love this one. But the prawn that was given to me was not fresh. Mentioned to Su Kian about this and she’ll highlight to her boss. Overall, the dish is highly recommended. The mussel was very fresh indeed! Feels so tangy with the sweet and sour taste of the specially cooked tomato sauce topping the spaghetti.

 

I had a glass of Chilo Oleo which is actually ice-blended Oreo. YES! Oreo biscuits. I warned that it is going to be very sweet but when I sipped a mouthful of the drink, not so sweet… Just nice. Even my girlfriend said so. Very creative to have this kind of special beverage in the restaurant.

 

A dessert complimented by the chef was the Lemon Soufle. A piece of freshly fried pancake kind of pastry wrapping lemon-flavoured cream and icy cool vanilla flavoured ice-cream on the other side. The hot and cold blend just melts in the mouth in a correct chemistry! Great experience.

 

Just can’t wait to come back again to try other dishes.
