Food Review @ Flamenco

Just got back from Flamenco… Won a RM50.00 voucher to dine there and here we come to invade the restaurant!!! Indeed it’s one of the recommended restaurants in the country by Tatler’s. The food there is delicious and it has all it takes to become one of the best restaurants in Malaysia – the environment, the service and the “PRICE”…

There was a table across our table with middle-aged uncles and aunties, talking about their experiences in London, Melbourne & where ever they’ve been to… Mein & I were there enjoying listening to their conversation. How I wish to become one of them in the coming future – enjoying life with a group of close friends in a good environment with good food and drink.

Anyhow, Mein & I ordered our food, drink and dessert. Mein ordered Fettuccini with Lamb Tenderloin in Black Pepper while I had Linguini with Scallops & Salmon Slices. We ordered just one drink, Snowy Mango and a dessert, Chocolate Indulgence.

What I liked about my dish is the sauce. It was extremely rich with cheese taste and creamy. Yum! Yum! What I didn’t like about it was the salmon. They were not really cooked. They still have the fishy taste. Overall, the dish was good but could be better if the fish were more cooked.

For Mein’s dish, what she liked about it was the lamb was tasty and not too hard to bite. The meat were marinated long enough but they still has the mutton taste in them. What she sis not like about the dish was the pasta was too thick and its got a heavy floury taste. The black pepper taste was strong too!

The drink, Snowy Mango was nice. The ice was shaved tiny enough that it melts right after being put in the mouth. As for the dessert, it’s one of the best dessert we’ve ever tasted before. The taste and excitement of the dish are indescribable in words. A recommended dessert indeed!

Food @ Gasoline

Tried food & drinks in Gasoline on the 6th Floor of Sg Wang after months listening to a suggestion of a friend. Well, looking at the menu itself, they have a lot of choices and they are all rather fresh ideas of food unlike Kim Gary to Food & Tea. The variety of food & drinks here are really wide and refreshing. I had chicken chop and ice-blended rum & raisins mocha. Taste good and I liked the drink! The price was rather reasonable & affordable for young adults like me – who are not earning as much… Mein had chicken pie on mushroom soup & a cup of hot chocolate. Not new enough for me but still taste good. Share some photos of the food we ordered.

Home-made Fruit Wine

Got to know from a colleague of Mein this way to produce wine. Simple & easy.
 
1. Prepare grapes, lemon & blocked brown sugar and also a jar which can be closed air-tight.
2. Cut the items into small pieces.
3. Put a layer of grapes in the jar.
4. Followed by a layer of slices of lemons.
5. Followed by a layer of cut blocked brown sugar.
6. Repeat Step 3-5 until the jar is full.
7. Close the jar air-tight and leave it for 20 days.
8. After 20 days, pour the liquid out into a cup & drink.
 
According to Mein’s colleague, this wine is good for health as it contains fruit enzyme & vitamins. Please also note that grapes and be subsituted with any other fruits like apple, pear, cucumber, or even mango! They will give you different taste. Pictures will be uploaded soon…

Mushroom Soup

I would like to share with u a kind of fungi soup which I’ve tried in Shanghai. The first sip, I’ve already fall in love with this soup. I learned to cook it when I came back to Malaysia. Indeed it’s easy to make.
 
Prepare 5 types of different fungi; white oyster mushroom, grey oyster mushroom, shiitake, golden mushroom and straw mushroom. Boil a pot of water and add in all those fungi into the hot water. Boil until the taste is right (approximately about 20 – 30 minutes). Add salt to taste.
 
Serve when it’s hot.

Cheese Cake…

..:: CHEESE CAKE D’ CHOCOLATe ::..
 
I would like to share my favourite cake with you – Chocolate Cheese Cake. The ingredients that are needed : 10 pieces (or more) of Marie biscuits, a cup of butter/ marjerin, a brick of cheese (the best is the one in silver box sold in any aupermart in M’sia) and also a cup chocolate.
 
First, break the Marie biscuits into tiny pieces or press them into powder-like condition. Melt the butter and pour the melted butter to the biscuit powder. Mix well. Press hard the biscuit powder to the lower part of the bowl. Here, I used a square shaped mixing bowl. This is to form the hard layer of the cake. Put the hard pressed biscuit powder into the fridge for a few hours.
 
Stir the cheese well. Melt the chocolate. The best way to melt chocolate is to put the chocolate in a stainless steel plate. Put the plate on a boiling water without touch the water. The heat will melt the chocolate. Mix the melted chocolate to the cheese and stir well. Pour the mixture onto the biscuit layer. Lastly, put the whole thing into the fridge and leave overnight.
 
Here are some photos of the cheese cake producing process…
