Sakae Sushi, Subang Parade

MSF called for dinner tonight. If it wasn’t for her, I would’ve ended up with Maggi instant noodle. I told her that I wanted and had to take sushi only. She was surpried that my diet doesn’t allow sushi. Then I explained to her that sushi is actually very healthy, provided that I don’t take anything with meat on it. She agreed on it on a win-win situtation, where I get my balanced diet and she get her luxurious dinner. So I gathered the usual people, but only KUMA and WWS able to make it. Then EL joined us later after we started eating.

... the secret to my appetizing dinner today would be the wasabi mix.

... I can't take tea, hence I get a fruit drink.

... the colour of the drink.

... close up, you could see Nata de Coco in it. It claims to have 25% Nata de Coco and 25% grape juice. The rest are flavouring, sweetener and stuff.

... first order of the dinner. Fortunately, tofu is allowable in my diet.

... hopefully this doesn't bring any ill effect. I supposed it's alright, since it doesn't contain any meat.

... the egg mayo has got pinch of fish roe on top of it.

... the other piece of egg mayo, which is just rice with the sweet tofu skin.

... I can eat this peacefully because it has no meat in it and the vegetables used were safe for my diet.

... this is Potato Salad... err... not sushi. Because it has no rice in it.

... another vegetarian dish. The only thing I can't eat here is the mushroom.

... gotta try the garlic fried rice. Unfortunately, not that tasty. The salt was not even, some piece of the rice was extra salty.

... I almost forgotten that I can't consume beans. So I had only 1 mouthful of this teppanyaki beansprouts.

... MSF's Kaisen Kamameshi, which she wanted the Chicken Kamameshi at first.

... the content of the Kaisen Kamameshi. It's seafood.

Rating: 6/10

The dinner was pretty good, despite I wasn’t having any meat, or close to meatless. I could take this opportunity to try those drink and dishes that I usually wouldn’t order, such as the Mogu Mogu Grape, Kakiage, Egg Mayo Inari, Potato Salad and Yasai Tempura.

The Mogu Mogu Grape tasted pretty good. Them small bottle was nicely fit into the cup including the ice. Unfortunately, they should have given a fatter straw because there were pieces of Nata de Coco inside the drink, making all the sucking a tough job. In the end, I had to take off all the ice cubes and drink the rest off the cup.

The Kakiage was pretty good with the teriyaki sauce. We ordered 3 of it because KUMA can’t have enough of it, while I alone hid 1 plate away from the rest. Hey, I’m on strict diet after all, so I’m eligible to do that. The miso soup was nice, though a bit too salty, but better than tasteless.

The rest were acceptable because I made a good wasabi, salty and sweet soya sauce mix. The only complain I had was that the egg mayo inari was quite cheating. I would expect both pieces of sushi having the same content, but instead, only the front piece has the egg mayo. While the 2nd piece, which was hidden behind has only the rice, wrapped in the sweet tofu skin. CHEAT! Anyway, I had 2 dishes of it because I wanted to taste my wasabi mix.

Meanwhile, MSF’s Kaisen Kamameshi was pretty nice, though it was quite costly at RM17.90 each. Fortunately, I wasn’t tempted at all by their orders because KUMA had the Beef Tamago Toji while WWS had Unagi Tamago Toji. EL was there to be DBKL, sapu (sweep) all the leftovers we have for him.

Kar Heong Restaurant, SS14

First day of my lunch on strict diet. Ask PCL out for lunch and asked her to make decision. She wanted it to be quick, hence she decided on Kar Heong Restaurant.

... siraitia grosvenorii (羅漢果) which doesn't taste like one at all.

... strict diet, a bowl of flat noodles (河粉) soup would be fine, I guess.

Rating: 6/10

My flat noodles soup with chicken strips was quite tasty actually, though I can’t eat all the meat there. Since PCL was not in the mood, so less talk for us and more chicken for her. I stuffed all my prawns and chickens into her mouth instead. The cup of lo hon ko was not that nice. It doesn’t taste like lo hon ko at all, which I find it really weird.

That’s the end of my 1st lunch on strict diet. Still surviving, the food was pretty good actually.

CS Restaurant, SS4

Today is the start of my somewhat healthy diet. I’ve been thinking, whether roti telur with onion would be a suitable diet. Come to think of it, they are considered acceptable based on the reference list I got from my doctor. Besides, it’s been weeks since my last visit to CS Restaurant.

... ordered iced lime insted of iced tea.

... I guess roti telur with egg and onion should be a permissable diet.

Rating: 6/10

Instead of my usual iced tea, I had to order iced lime. Coffee, tea and cocoa are not permitted in my diet. Say bye bye to my chocolates for a month! For my roti telur banjir, which I asked for curry, he go and mixed it with a little bit of dhal and sambal ikan bilis (anchovy).

Dinner @ Office

The pain was quite unbearable already, fortunately it was close to dinner time. I was thinking of just taking the pills without having anything at first because I was still quite full from my lunch. But I do not want to take the risk of vomiting everything out later. Fortunately, there were some leftover toasts from lunch earlier. 2 pieces of LGFL’s corn & tuna toasts and 1 piece of KUMA’s potato salad toast. I picked the potato salad toast instead because of the strict diet that I had to observe from now onward…

... KUMA's potato salad toast leftover from today's lunch.

Rating: 5.5/10

When I opened the container, I could only smell durian-like smell. I thought the toast was a goner. Anyway, I had to get something in first so I just chomped it down. The toast itself has turned soggy, rather soft, but no complain there. The potato salad was quite amazing actually. Some potatoes were seriously hurt when this was made. It has really genuine potato taste in it. Not too much on the egg or mayo, it was just right (I can assure you I wasn’t too hungry to have misjudge it). Despite being soggy on the bread itself, it was still pretty cold. The salad itself was already cold to begin with.

Do not proceed if you are against drugs consumption…

Pasta de Gohan, Sunway Pyramid

Today, the ladies said gotta go somewhere nice to celebrate NAP’s farewell. At first I suggested either Dragon-i or Canton-i, but NAP (no, he has got nothing to do with slumber) just had them like a couple of days ago straight. When we were on the way there, TSL suddenly thought of the Pasta de Gohan’s clam soup pasta she saw in a food magazine in my car. Then we decided to give Pasts de Gohan a try.

... Pasta de Gohan, if I'm not mistaken, it means pasta and rice.

... this scallop & prawn pizza was my idea. Abundance of cheese.

... this complimentary soup was for TSL's clam soup pasta.

... delicious looking clam soup pasta.

... NAP's Prawn Pilaf.

... NAP's Wafu Chicken & Mushroom. Very oily stuff, another lip gloss incident.

... KUMA's Potato Salad Toast.

... KUMA's Potato & Bacon Cream fettucine.

... a good thirst quencher?

... decided to give the curry chicken rice a try.

... my Wafu Al Aglio Olio. I still can't figure out what does "wafu" means, even after the meal.

... my aglio olio with extra ingredients.

... someone left this Neapolitan spaghetti on my side of the table.

Rating: 6/10

I start off with the clam and prawn pizza. It was pretty nice actually with super thin crust with good fragrance from the cheese. The prawns was fresh and crunchy while the scallops were big. I could eat it plainly with only cheese on top of it. But this piece of UFO cost RM28.80.

I had a sipped of TSL’s clam soup pasta, it was quite nice, a little bit of sweetness of the clams. It’s kinda special too, one of its kind. The last time I tried vongole spaghetti was more than 6 months ago. That vongole spaghetti was very different from this 1 though. This also came with a complimentary soup, which tasted a little like miso soup with plenty of seaweed in it. But for RM24.80 for plain spaghetti and clams, that’s very expensive.

Then I had a bite on NAP’s Wafu Chicken & Mushroom. It was pretty ok, just a tad too oily. I wondered whether those was from the olive oil or some other stuff. It sorta made me feel a bit full though. Never had a chance to try his prawn pilaf though, cause it was like chaos there, for 7 people to sit in a long table having plates flying here and there where hygiene was placed at lowest priority.

Then there’s KUMA’s potato salad toast, which looked really nice and her Potato & Bacon cream. Unfortunately, those bacons weren’t pork, they were beef. So I didn’t bother to give it a try. Suddenly, I missed my Popai the Potato so much.

Finally, on the stuff that I ordered. The RM4.80 canned ginger ale was very costly. The lunch set chicken curry rice with wafu al aglio olio cost me RM18.80. It sounded a lot cheaper than TSL’s clam soup spaghetti. I guess reason being this is the kind of items that rarely interest the patrons, so they decided to put them up for promotion. Fortunately, despite being a plain spaghetti, the taste was still acceptable. But it tasted much better after I put in extra chili powder and grind the pepper in. The curry was sweet as expected, nothing to shout about. The rice used was genuine Japanese rice that I had from ordering curry chicken rice from Japanese restaurant. So, no lacking of ingredients here.

The rest of the stuff I didn’t bother to snap because our table has no more space to sort stuff around. But I was given a plate of Neopolitan to try. It was… not that good. That’s why I never like ordering spaghetti in tomato sauce.

The bill for the lunch cost us RM230.10 for 7 pax. Averaging at around RM33 per pax. Overall, lunch was pretty nice, but the pricing was crazy. The food weren’t exactly Japanese except for a few items as pasta is western while most of the stuff on their menu was consists of pasta. There were many other stuff on the menu as well, such as parfait. It’s another place which is common like PHOP, where you’d need months to try out everything on the menu.

The place was not exactly comfortable and the lighting was pretty bad too. The shop was quite small and the air conditioning was bad. TSL was practically sweating throughout the time, for a person that rarely sweat even if we eat under hot roof. Go figure…

BnY Restaurant, SS18

Went for dinner with TSL and WWS. TSL can’t decide on what to eat when I showed her a blog categorized with Subang & Sunway eateries. In the end, I decided to crash into SS18 area and see for ourself what to eat. If we can’t find anything there, then it will be TJ Haus.

Fortunately, TSL spotted the Shanghai food. So without further ado, I parked my car nearest to the restaurant. It was just a few shops away from TJ Haus itself. I wonder do they serve Shanghai dumpling (上海小籠包)?

The lady boss that took our order, her Mandarin dialect was different. I supposed she’s from Shanghai, being that it’s Shanghai home cooked food. I couldn’t tell if it’s really genuine Shanghai style but all I could do was imagined that I was at Shanghai having some home cooked food because the ugly truth is, I’ve never been to Shanghai.

... the restaurant's name was so small, all I noticed was the word "Shanghai".

... I chose this 香辣豆腐 over the usual 麻辣豆腐 (malat beancurd) to try out the differences.

... plain stir fried siu pak choi.

... this spicy sour soup (酸辣湯) was a decision made based on coin flip, between this and stir fried nian gao (Chinese cake).

... this golden phoenix fish (金鳳魚) in sour spicy sauce was recommended by the lady boss.

... the boss asked if I was a journalist before giving this card to me.

... get a stamp for every RM45 and above. Collect 8 stamps and receive a free seafood dish valued RM30 or above.

Rating: 6.4/10

Our dinner tonight was full of spicy stuff. I hope WWS didn’t have to have war with her WC after the dinner. Fortunately, Shanghainese’s spiciness ain’t anywhere near what I couldn’t withstand, so I guess it’s fine for her. The spicy beancurd was served in a clay pot. I was glad the portion was moderately enough for the 3 of us, not too much. It as a little sour but I couldn’t recall if I ever felt spicy in it. I guess I should have opted for malat beancurd. Anyway, a lesson learnt today. Then came the vegetable. It tasted rather bland but I guess there’s a very good reason for it. You’ll find out later.

Halfway through, TSL tossed coin to decide on adding on spicy soup or stir fry nian gao. The coin says spicy soup. While I was eagerly anticipating for the fish after ordering the spicy soup, the soup came first. I was shocked at the size of it. It could easily fit 10 people. The soup looked very much like beancurd soup (豆腐羹), except it’s spicy. The soup was quite diluted and pretty tasteless except sourness. We were offered vinegar for those that prefer more sour than it is.

Finally, when the fish came, it was soaking sauce. After a couple of pretty bland tasting dishes, I was expecting too much of the fish. I guess I was a little disappointed on the sauce. The fried fish itself was quite tasty actually but it should have been fried a little longer so that the crispiness stays longer before getting soggy. Finally, I’ve had 3 bowl full of the soup, while TSL had 2.5 bowl and WWS chickened out, she had only 2 bowl full. I’ve estimated the leftovers and it does really serves up to 10 pax or bowls.

I keep asking them to order what they wanted to eat because I intend to claim the bills until I suddenly thought of what if the place doesn’t accept credit cards? Then I notice the flyer holder has American Express printed on it. It lessen my worries until TSL assured me that she has the money to pay. Fortunately, the place does accept cards. Then later we were presented with the promo card by the boss himself. He was asking if I was a journalist. He should have treated me the dinner then I would’ve told him what he wanted to hear.

I might come again to try out other because the price was quite reasonable. The fish for RM25, spicy beancurd for RM12, vege for RM9, pretty standard price, though it could hardly beat Canton Fare‘s. RM10 for that soup, averaging RM1 per pax if it serves 10 pax. The rice were RM3.90 for 3 pax and Chinese tea was a measly RM3.50. No wonder the tea was so tasteless too.

I still can’t make out what does BnY mean.

Snacks

Went to Cold Storage today. I was curious as in what new stock did they bring in. Bought back 3 items from there, 2 chocolates and 1 biscuits.

... the 72% dark chocolate got my attention. Didn't find any "imported by" sticker on it, could be locally made. Further proven with the "Halal" logo printed on top.

... came with quality seal. A way to increase the price of your chocolate despite being locally manufactured.

... the content was rather, unappealing.

... 17 gold bars, total up to 100gm. How does that get divided into 17 bars?

... unfortunately, they seriously need to pay more attention on the quality assurance department. Chocolate leakage, a big NO NO!

... pretty plain printing, very unappealing indeed.

Rating: 6/10

This locally manufactured 72% dark chocolate was a little sweeter than I expected. It was also the 1st time I see a locally made dark chocolate that labels it 72%. I don’t recall if Beryl’s labeled their products with the percentage of cocoa though. I thought it would be bitter as 70% from other brands were pretty bitter already. When I had the first 1, it actually tasted pretty nice, sweetened black, with minimal milk. For 100g of cocoa at RM13.99, I’d expect it to be better. The aftertaste was a bit overkilling. It sorta made my throat a little sore. This is what I call a “bitter aftertaste relationship”. Back to imported goods.

... packaging looks rather different. Probably because inside contains pastilles form chocolates.

... bottom was printed as well. The part where most manufacturer would save cost from printing anything. Pretty neat!

... unfortunately, the chocolate's printing itself wan't as pretty as the display.

... only melts in your mouth, not in your hand. Unfortunately, this doesn't work like M&Ms.

... give it a bit and the inside looked like truffles's content.

... don't just discard the wrapper. You might find some random phrases on different wrappers.

Rating: 6/10

On the other hand, the Dove devilishly dark chocolate hasn’t any percentage label on it. For 150g at RM21.99 of imported goods, it doesn’t really cost that much more as compared to ORVIeN. Probably because this 1 has lesser percentage of cocoa in it. In fact, it was pretty sweet. The content was very truffles-like, which I kinda like. Sweet, soft and powdery cocoa content. If only it has less sugar in it and contains alcohol. It would be really nice!

Here’s another one:

... "Chocolate doesn't make the world go around but it makes the trip worthwhile."

Lastly, the drink…

... tong sui courtesy of HL. It has snow fungus, I like it.

Rating: 7.5/10

This tong sui that HL brought back was pretty nice. In fact, it was comparable to the one I had in Canton Fare, which was a similar kind of tong sui. The only set back was, this tong sui was not cold. I didn’t get to ask him where he bought it and for how much. Last I heard he said he was in PJ Old Town.

Nando’s Chickenland, Subang Parade

Went to Subang Parade for lunch with TSL and WWS today. Fortunately, I remembered reading my credit card statement that Nando’s is having promotion with Maybank’s credit card. I asked the waiter there to double confirm it as I don’t recall exactly when’s the expiry date. All I remembered was that I had to show my card to them before ordering.

Soon, he came back saying that we could get the 2nd 1/4 chicken with 2 sidelines at 50% off. Anyway, with or without the promotion, we were still gonna be ordering 1/4 chicken with 2 sidelines each.

... first time I see from Nando's Chickenland.

... will they ever call me if my commented badly on their food?

... I've forgotten that I should have ordered the sparkling apple instead of bottomless iced lemon tea.

... my hot peri-peri 1/4 chicken with 2 sidelines.

... all that's left were the bones.

Rating: 4.5/10

I guess this was probably the lowest rating I’ve ever given to Nando’s. What happened dude (or dudette if Nando’s was a chick)? I get pretty charred chicken. I don’t mind a little charred, but my chicken was practically dried up, it sorta shrank. The meat was harder than usual and pretty tasteless too. I had the chicken breast though, but I did have better ones in Nando’s before. So it’s definitely not my problem for choosing the breast part. I’ve always prefer the breast. I know it was pretty crowded today in Nando’s, but that’s not an excuse for the drop in quality.

Aside from that, I asked for Peri Chips and coleslaws, but I was presented with Old Style Chips instead. I told the waiter, “I asked for Peri Chips.” Guess what’s his response? “This is Peri Chips.” I can’t believe it, he must be new there. Then I told him, “No, this is not Peri Chips.” He was a bit dumbfounded, but still insisted on that was Peri Chips. I can’t believe it, doesn’t he understand the phrase, “customer always right?” Then I was too tired to explain further, I told him straight in the face, “go over there and sprinkle the POWDER!” And he skedaddled over to the kitchen counter to get my chips powdered. Finally, he’s able to understand what I meant by Peri Chips. Nando’s Chickenland should have paid me for giving trainings the staff.

Gee, what’s eating you Nando’s?

Häagen-Dazs, Solaris Mont Kiara

After our fights during lunch, we adjourned to Haagen-Dazs lunch. This time, I’ll be the 1 paying the bill, since he got the earlier bill in Canton Fare. It’s so unfair! He suggested to go Baskin-Robbins at first but I told him why not we go Haagen-Dazs instead? I heard from AC that there’s a HD in Solaris too. DL said it’s just across the street. It was good too because I’m not a fan of Baskin-Robbins.

The store was just across the street, about 50 metres from our location. Haagen-Dazs is currently having buffet promotion at RM33.90++ per pax. I tempted DL to go for it. He was worried that he couldn’t wallop that much.

Oh well, next times perhaps. I proceed to check out the new menu on the pedestal. First thing I spotted was the Chocoholic. I pointed to him that I found his favourite. Then I saw the fruit ice-cream. DL said it was passion fruit being used as garnish as show on the menu. Since I’ve never actually had the fruit itself, I thought I’d wanna try it.

... this Chocoholic contains Haagen-Dazs' chocolate chips and Belgian chocolate scoops.

... I can't dance, so I thought I'd get the Mango Tango to help improves my Limbo Rock skills.

Rating: 8/10

I’ve got no idea how would the deco on our ice-creams turn out to be, because the photos on the menu were rather… abstract. But for certain, you’d get what’s describe on the menu. So, do read the text. DL being a chocolate lover, he was super satisfied with his Chocoholic which came with a cone as well. I was glad he does because it’s my treat.

While I sacrificed my Macadamia Nuts over Mango Tango, hoping to get some passion fruits as garnish, I was fairly disappointed. All I got was sliced strawberry and banana! Gosh! And I had to go through the 3-year-old-kid-pointing-at-the-menu-to-order ordeal hoping to get some passion fruits on my plate and all I got was… banana! The staff nodded that I’d get what’s (I swear I was pointing very clearly on the cut up passion fruit) on the menu. Perhaps what he meant was that I could have the menu.

Anyhow, my mango ice-cream wasn’t all bad. It has passion fruits flavour in it. It tasted better than the ordinary mango. The other scoop that I get was chocolate. Plain chocolate without chips in it. Since when did Haagen-Dazs provides plain chocolate ice-cream?

Anyway, the bill came up to RM62+, around the same figure as our lunch’s bill. A decent dessert? Yes! A big YES indeed.

I know this probably sounds gay, anyway…

... I love Häagen-Dazs.

Say NO to Baskin-Robbins. They are too sweeeeeeeet!

Restoran Canton Fare, Solaris Mont Kiara

My ex-colleague, HGY, showed me this place the night before. She said the place has very very very nice fried siew yuk (roasted pork), and some other varieties too. Later, I showed it to DL and asked if he’s been there. Since he stayed nearby, I thought he would’ve know the place quite well.

Turns out he hasn’t heard of the place. So we decided to gate crash the place and hopefully get some good tasting Chinese style stir fry food. My first and last fried siew yuk was a couple of years back in Taman Tun, which was recommended by KC. It was really nice too, served with wanton noodle. The meat was basically coated in sauce like those on BBQ pork.

Anyway, when were were there, the place was closed. I guess it opens for the industrial workers whom work around that area. Then DL recommended Canton Fare as contingency plan, in case the place not opened. He said he saw the place the week before and been wanting to try it out. Hence we headed straight to Solaris Mont Kiara. It was my first time here as well. Been hearing about it since the spawn of Tenji, yet I haven’t the initiative to go check it out. I wonder how it fares against Canton-i.

... hidden inside Solaris Mont Kiara. That's DL for showing his satisfaction for finally finding the place.

... red theme, just like how Dragon-i looked like. I thought this was probably related to Canton-i.

... the place wasn't really that big as can be seen. I believe there was a staircase somewhere.

... nice menu wrapped in cushioned canvas.

... boost with self confidence, it said "King of Roast". Move aside, Kenny Rogers.

... why are English wines being served here?

... this was served after we've placed our order. I guess it's probably pickled papaya.

... longan with snow fungus tong sui. I was given a choice of longan with Chinese herb roots (羊參鬚) or longan with snow fungus. I'm a sucker for snow fungus!

... we were given the choice of white rice or flavoured rice. Of course we picked flavoured rice. I've been having white rice my whole life!

... glimmering BBQ pork found sleeping with roasted duck. Naughty, naughty!

... BBQ pork on the left and roasted duck on the right.

... it was unexpected, DL ordered the belacan style water spinach. I was surprised too.

... what would a roasted meals be if without roasted pork?

Rating: 7.9/10

At first, I thought it was probably related to Canton-i in some way. Aside from the similar name, it was different as DL said the dishes offered were different. We were asked what do we wanted to drink even before we make our order. A choice of 2 tong sui and Chinese tea. I picked the longan snow fungus while DL went with hot Chinese tea.

I let DL made the choice while I was busy setting my WB on my camera. He ordered the roasted duck and BBQ pork with a belacan style water spinach to go with our rice. We were offered white rice or flavoured rice. The choice was simple in fact. We were given chili sauce and sweet sour sauce as condiments for the BBQ pork and roasted duck. When my drink was served, I thought it would be in porcelein bowl, but it was in cup and it was cold. Fortunately, it wasn’t all bad. The content was more than the drink itself, which made it worth the RM6+ (incl tax and all). I’ve got no idea what does the wine menu doing in a Chinese restaurant. I thought they only serve Chinese wines.

We were served a plate of pickled papaya while waiting for our food. DL wasn’t too sure if it was papaya. I guess the colour doesn’t look right. Anyway, after soaking in vinegar for so many weeks, I guess oneself wouldn’t be able to distinguish itself from the rest of the pickled papayas or mangoes. As long as it doesn’t taste bad, it goes into my mouth. Pretty sour and crunchy, unfortunately we can’t finish it. I guess they gave quite a lot.

When the BBQ pork and roasted duck was served, the glimmering BBQ pork looked damn tasty. I could hear them calling to me. Though I noticed some fats on it, which kinda put me off. When I picked the 1st piece, which was mainly covered in red sauce with some fats in it, I would want to take back my words about the unappetizing fats. It was crunchy! It was heavenly! The fats weren’t smelly at all. DL can’t stop praising on the BBQ pork, how great it was and stuff. It tasted even better than the Meng Kee I had in Glenmarie. Just that it wasn’t all 1/2 fat 1/2 lean meat. Basically, that piece of heavenly fat BBQ pork melts in my mouth, with its sweetened sauce… *drooling*

On the other hand, the roasted duck was only so-so. Probably the BBQ pork was too good, it made the duck pales in comparison. The herbs taste was not heavy in the duck, a bit too light though. I didn’t realised it was supposed to have herbs in it until I had my 2nd piece. Then I recalled I have had roasted ducks with heavier herbs taste, which I supposed was better. The belacan style water spinach was pretty good. I never thought places like these would cook such nice homey feel kind of belacan style water spinach. I give it a 9/10 and it only cost RM9 per plate. It was not small portion either!

Later, while we were busy indulging ourselves, we were being pestered on any last order because they were closing the kitchen. They did this 3 times. I asked DL if he has ordered any roasted pork, he said “no” because I’ve just had roasted pork yesterday. Hence I asked him to get a roasted pork. What would it made us for leaving the place without trying out the King of Roast’s roasted pork? Yes, it made us the soggy pigs.

Anyway, the roasted pork was served within minutes after the weird condiments, mustard and sugar. I let DL tastes it first. He was rather disappointing at the roasted pork. Basically, he has already spoiled all the anticipations for me. Skin failed but meat pretty good. So, I could’ve guessed. I’d take the skin from Mooi Mooi‘s roasted pork and fusion it with Canton Fare’s roasted pork meat. It would make a perfect combination. The skin was still crunchy, but it lacked the fragrance I could get from Mooi Mooi’s. Like he said, the meat was nicely seasoned and flavoured though. But it could’ve been better, for something more premium.

We left the place satisfied, with some leftovers though. The lunch was VERY nice. I would’ve rated it higher if the roasted duck and roasted pork weren’t there to spoil the lunch. I could’ve asked for more BBQ pork. To hell with the fats, “Eat First, Die Later,” as Doc always say. I guess the place should change its name to “King of BBQ pork” instead.
