Hadramawt Kitchen

Located at 13 Jalan Penguasa B U1/53B, Section U1, Temasya Square Glenmarie, 40150 Shah Alam, Selangor. Tel 012 371 1374. The reason a mobile number is provided is due to the fact that this place is relatively new, not even 2 months old, hence, there is no telephone lines or even internet line. Why I mention this? Credit Cards cannot be used. Cash only. Well as they say, cash is king. Went here during lunch time, seating was still available. Service was prompt and we got our food fast and it was freshly cooked.

If you know where VW, Volvo, Euromobile, Lambroghini and Perodua is in Glenmarie then you will be able to find it. This joint is on the opposite site of the main road from these car giants.

Ordered the set menu. Kabsha Chicken Set RM11.00. The rice was fluffy, soft and tasty. It can be eaten even without any sauce. Drinking water / Air suam is on the house 

Lamb Kebasa RM19.00 including Ice Lemon Tea. The lamb is so soft that it can be peeled with your fingers. Very tasty. My only complaint was that the quantity lamb was not sufficient to clamp my appetite.   

The sauces that came with the dishes, all were nice and not spicy at all, hence, if you bring your family of kids, they would not have problems eating the food here

The best part No Service and Gov Tax

Bumbu Bali

Bumbu Bali, lacated at 18 Jalan Persiaran Puteri, Bandar Puteri, 47100 Puchong, Selangor. If you're not sure where it is on your right is Giant Bandar Puteri, on the opposite left of the main road is KPMS Puchong Specialist Centre, behind this is facing the main road is this joint along with Bake with Yen. 

Ambiance is very Balinese. They also sell merchandise from Bali, wooden animals, umbrellas, cloth, costume jewelry and etc.

The Dinning area

Bali Trio RM49.00, the chicken skewers were soft, succulent and tasted very nice wrapped round the Serai stalks. One may compare this to the local satay but this is entirely different. Its in a class of its own. I would describe it as minced chicken mixed with well balanced spices and grilled to perfection.  Even on the next day after reheating it in the microwave, it still tasted juicy and tender

Burger RM29.00, very soft, tender and meaty. The burger I requested to be medium done. In this price range, it would go head on with other western grilled burgers and would or even may triumph on the top 

Pisang Bakar RM13.00, no cheap nestle vanilla is cream is used. This is the real deal. Imported vanilla ice cream is used with a concoction of something similar to butterscotch or caramel cream and coconut candy strips thrown into the mixture 

There is Government Tax charged. No charges for drinking water or air suam

Coke

Coca Cola or Coke, What can I say that others don't already know???

Nothing much.

Well, just to share my thoughts. Who doesn't like Coke? I started off as a Pepsi Cola lover through my teenage years and only in my 30's did I find that I no longer had a liking for Pepsi and begin drifting towards Coke and it has been like that ever since.

Colonel John Pemberton was wounded in the Civil War and became addicted to morphine. And his begin to find a substitute less dangerous opiate. Coca Cola was invented. 

The first sales were at Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia, on May 8, 1886.It was initially sold as a patent medicine for five cents a glass at sofa fountains. 

The rest as you say is history.

Al Daifah

I did not stumble into this joint by accident, it was recommended to me by a comrade in arms. Ha ha ha. This eatery is indeed a hidden treasure. Located at 43 & 45 Jalan Radin Anum, Seri Petaling, 57000 Kuala Lumpur. If you are unsure where it is, locate Seri Petaling Hotel on your left, go straight about 100 meters, this joint is on your right.Its located in  one of the terrace shop lots. The exterior is very unassuming and plain, their surrounding neighbors unattractive, tire shops, video shops, hair saloon and etc. But once you step your right foot inside prepared to be utterly amazed. You will be transported to the middle east with its stupendous ambiance.  

Opening hours are from 12pm to 12am daily, with the exception of Fridays closing from 12.30pm to 2.30pm for Friday Prayers. It is advisable to make reservations - 03 9059 6237/9.

This was where I celebrated my wife's birthday and also Valentines day. Yup, not many guys out there have their wife's birthday that also falls on as valentines day.

See what I mean. Very luxurious. And this is just the entrance. Dinning is on the first floor.

Visitors are greeted by the awesome goodies (tea sets/ drinking cups/ serving tray and etc) displayed in the showcase, which is also sold in their gift shop located in the adjacent unit on the ground floor 

All these items can be purchased from their gift shop

How many eateries located in terrace shop lots you know have their very own built in elevator?

If you choose not to take the lift, you can walk up the staircase and be greeted by awesome work of art 

The dinning area located at level one

A different view

Long tables for a group of friends

As you can see, seating is ample and very upscale

Rice with Kebab RM90.00

Arabic Tea RM15.00

The only downside, to me anyway is that when you look out of the window whilst enjoying your scrumptious meal, you see what other Malaysian eat along the road side stalls and it puts you down a little. You wish others could eat in this settings and have a great meal too.

Rare Spiderman

I have in my collection a rare Spiderman. This was purchased about 3 years ago from a collector in Amcorp Mall, back when my son was in his Spiderman phase. 

What makes this rare, is that this Spiderman has 2 right palm and fingers on both hands.It is clearly visible from the picture below. I do not know how this got into the market by the makers but I'm glad to be in possession of such a rare piece. 

French Fries Indian Style

All of us around the world had had french fires, be it home made, supermarket frozen bought or McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, Manhattan Fish Market, Fish & Co and etc. Check our my french fries, Indian Style. Trust me the picture does not do justice. If you would like something different, spicy, aromatic and full of taste in every bite, then give it a try. Remember each persons taste buds are different so express caution with the ingredients. 

This is my twist to the classic french fries, Indian Sytle

If you would like to give it a try, here's the recipe.  Feeds One.

2 Big Russel Potatoes. Leave the skin on. Wash them clean and cut into large strips. I prefer chunky in size.

Place in a large bowl the cut french fries and mix in curry powder and pink sea salt. Use your fingers to mix and ensure that all fries are equally coated.

Thereafter deep fry your french fries in oil.

While it is cooking, cut into slices One Holland onion, One small piece of garlic and fresh rosemary.

Once the fries has been cooked remove it from the oil and stir fry it in a different wok with a little oil together with the cut onion,chopped garlic and fresh rosemary. 

When the aroma of the onion and garlic rises and fills the air, you're done and the fries can be removed from the wok and placed on an paper napkin to remove excess oil, before being consumed.

If your nose is not up to the task, just don't burn the onions. Once the onions and garlic are a tad darker brown, it can be removed from the wok together with the onions.

While its still hot on the plate, sprinkle a little crushed black pepper.

The fries can be eaten dipped with mayonnaise and tomato sauce. Enjoy.

    

Fuza's Briyani

Our outing to Tesco @ Scott Garden , No.289, Jalan Klang Lama, Kuala Lumpur 58100 on 15 April 2014 . 

We found this little joint inside Tesco called Fuza's Briyani. We stumbled in around dinner time and the joint was rather quiet but the food we had was pleasing. Service was fast. As you can see from the photo's below, seating is ample and comfortable. Ambiance is rather cozy since it was almost empty. 

The joint is about 30 meters away from the main entrance of Tesco supermarket. You can even see the cashiers booths from the eatery 

Seating is comfortable. All wooden chairs/tables unlike some joints providing plastic chairs or wood vernier furniture's 

Beverage we ordered Sirap Bandung Special. Consisting of Rose Syrup, Ice Cream Soda, Black and Red Cincau and Water. My verdict, nice, refreshing, but with the small straw provided, the cincau gets stuck disturbing the flow of the drink to quench your thirst. But personally, I think JM Briyani's Sirap Bandung Special is much tastier. This was a tad watery and lacked the extra umphhhh. RM4.00.

Mee Bandung Muar. The dish came in a nice clay pot. Verdict, was tasty, you can smell the belacan and seafood concoction. The soup was not too thick but just nice. The mee was fresh and springy, not soggy. RM6.60. One bowl will not do. They were not stingy with the fillings either, there was ample squid, prawns and beef cubes, considering the price.  

Also has Briyani Gam Ayam. What can I say. It is very different compared to the other briyani I had tasted elsewhere. The rice was fragrant and very fluffy. The chicken melts in your mouth. The aroma of spices emitted from the rice was just mouth watering. At RM11.90 with a free drink of mineral water accompanied, it is indeed money well spent. The chicken is so tender and tasty but a bit small, leaving wanting for more. 

The total bill. Note no tax merely service charge of 10%.
