Western breakfast @ Moon De Moon, Ipoh

Not too bad - for the price! It comes with bacon!!!

Tony Roma's @ Suntec City Mall (Revisited)

The appetizers - yummy!

Yup, bacon bits!!!

The ribs - still as good!!!

Mushroom chicken mushroom burger @ TGI Friday's

The wife had this. It was not too bad - she said. I ate some of the fries - nice - and took the bun too which was quite light and a bit crunchy on the bottom.

But halfway thru the burger, she noted that the chicken wasn't cooked fully!!! It was returned and they offered to make a new one for us. Since she was already halfway thru it, we opted to have a desert instead.

Cajun chicken and shrimp pasta @ TGI Friday's

I had this the other day and i really liked it! It was creamy and a hint of spiciness together with tender pieces of chicken and shrimps. Satisfying!

Burgers @ The Handburger, Singapore

 

 

English breakfast in Northern Scotland

OK - sorry but i cannot remember where is this place!!!! I only know it is in the northern part of Scotland, after Ullapool.

We were driving along the coastal road when we came across this little place serving food - so we stopped there for lunch. It was a 'strange' lunch!!!! We had English breakfast at Scotland for lunch! But is was so so good!

Typical English breakfast - bacon, egg, fried bread, sausages, a fried tomato and black pudding! Black pudding? We din know wat it was when we ate it but we loved it, being typical Chinese! If you dun know wat it is, check it out here.

Bacon Cheeseburger @ Botak Jones, Singapore

I was told to try out this place when down in S'pore - Botak Jones. Apparently, very nice burgers but at food court prices. Why? The joints are located at food courts!!!!

Yup, no aircond. But it was alright. Here is the burger i had - bacon cheeseburger:-



The fork there is just to give you an idea how big it was.

The verdict? Nice. Not great but nice. Check out their menu and outlets here at their website.

Burger @ Carl's Junior, Midvalley

Have a big craving for burgers? Well, u may want to try out Carl's Jr!

Take a look - the finger is in the pic to give an idea of how big the burger is - compared to those from fast food restaurants.

So yes, the plus point is the size! It doesn't disappoint! A look at the pic above also assures u it is not dry!

Another plus point are their fries - you can actually taste the potato and bits of skins still on the fires - not processed stuffs!

And you can help yrself to as much relish as u like!

The downside? Well, the taste just wasn't there for me. And the price is a huge put-off. I might as well go to places like Chile's and eat their burgers there - and request that it's medium rare.

Blue cheese burger @ Tony Romas, Sunway Pyramid

We went there as a farewell for some of the students opting to go to the UK for 2nd year. Initially we were supposed to go to Fridays but it was full. So we ended up here - quite reluctantly for me! The only thing good about Tony Romas (i've been told) is it's pork ribs. But they dun have that in the local outlets here.

So i settled for this burger. Wasn't that bad. For one, it was big enuf to satisfy me! Almost had difficulties biting into it. Secondly, i loved the cheese. Nice!

But with almost every other gourmet burger that i have eaten in M'sia, it was just too well done - and ended up being rather dry. This was even when i specified i wanted it medium. Maybe i should ask for medium rare next time?

Baby back pork ribs @ Tony Romas

One of the places i had to eat at when in S'pore recently was Tony Romas. Now some may ask why go there when we have so many TR outlets here in M'sia, the prices being cheaper compared to the higher exchange rate across the causeway.

The reason is simple - PORK!

The local TR outlets do not serve pork! And TR is famous for its pork ribs. I love pork ribs. I love pork! The best pork ribs i've had was at some restaurant at near the border of Austria and Germany at Fusen. It was huge, tender and so delicous! But i digress.

So off i went to the TR at Suntec City. I was early to beat the dinner crowd and also, i had a concert to go to after dinner.

No hessitation - i went for the Original Baby Back Ribs. I went for the smallest portion - so that the hole burnt in me wallet is just as small!

It came with jacket potatoes and corn. The jacket potatoes were wonderful! It must be the bacon bits! It's exactly like how the jacket potatoes taste like in the UK. Lovely! The corn was really juicy and sweet. I left it to the end so it was almost like a dessert.

OK - the ribs. It was good! The portion was small compared to the one i had in Germany. The meat was tendr and came off the bone easily. The sauce was a little on the sweet side but there wasn't too much of it to overpower the ribs.

It was a satisfying meal! I topped it off with a cup of coffee.

The service was pretty good too - nice sweet waitresses. Only complaint? They stole S$0.50 from me!!!! After paying the bill, they brought back the bill wallet with my change and i left it there until i was ready to go. I opened it and found only the bill! No change!!!! Oh well...

Cirspy Jumbo Combo @ Cafe' Cartel, Singapore

We were starving after the run and just wanted to stuff our faces.

WS and i remembered that Cafe' Cartel (yes, the "Cafe'" is written that way) serves free flow bread!!! So off we went, to the branch at Raffles City.

Upon perusing the menu, i suggested the Crispy Combo which was meant for 3 people. Then i looked below it on the menu and saw that they also had a Crispy Jumbo Combo for 5 people!!!! Yes, we had that! The 3 of us.

Here it is - it was amusing as the girl at the next table could not stop staring at it when it came. And she kept on throwing glances at our table!

It consisted of fried chicken, fish fillet, rodeo wings, mixed vege, wedges. It was also suppose to have prawn dippers but they ran out and replaced it with calamari (i found a 'lost' scallop in the midst of the calamari!).

The fried chicken was really good. Skin was crispy but not too much flour. Meat was juicy and tasty. Huge portion. Boneless. Went really well with the BBQ sauce.

The calamari was alrite. The wedges - well, they weren't our priority. The vege was quite miserable - just the baby carrots and a few pieces of cucumber.

Very satisfying! less than RM40 per person.

The rodeo wings were nice - i love wings so it was hard to get it wrong.

The fish fillet was pretty good too! The fish was fresh and the batter again not too thick.
