kuantan and it's food

i've been so busy with my Malaysian Girls rehearsals nowadays. Its like practice practice practice everyday except for friday and sunday. So you know the drill, in order for me to give full commitment and concentration to the musical i have to sacrifice my social life, date with boyfriend, fun time with girlfriends and of course my weekends in kuantan.

Apart from my family and my boyfriend, what i missed most about kuantan is the FOOD. yes food! So this post is dedicated to all the yummy food that you can only get in kuantan. *salivarunningdownmymouth*

Nasi Beriani Hj Kamarudin

Tan Jung Fish Curry Claypot

Kerang Bakar

Thai Styled Chicken

Ikan Pari Bakar Petai

Sotong Telur Masin

Tan Jung Seafood Restaurant. One of my favorite seafood place. So good you just want more!

Pak Akop's Tempoyak and Sambal Tempoyak on the side

Ikan Pating Goreng

If you don't eat or dislike tempoyak then there is something wrong with. Tempoyak is so good!

Hopefully with all the dance practice minus weekend food galore in kuantan will make me shed a few kilos. Just hope for the best folks, hope for the best :)

last weekend : food odyssey

hello peeps! last weekend my boyfie came to kl for some getaway with me :) well if it involves me it involves a whole lotta food. so here goes our food chronicles. haha. enjoy!

1. Belanga, The Gardens Mall

i was fasting and we were in a rush to catch harry potter at 8. chose the simplest and fastest place to eat. so wander around the food court and found belanga. they offer mainly local cuisine food.

sirap selasih ais

nasi lemak pandan served with ayam goreng berempah

nasi goreng belacan served with chicken wings

2. Fat Spoon, Damansara Uptown

i've been wanting to go to this place in ages but just never have the chance to. you know the deal to park in uptown. the place is super busy. well a very very cosy restaurant. love the decor. whimsical vintage style. the food range is great too. local with a little western hint. highly recommended.

remember this? they recycled the ladybird book for their menu. how cute!

the inside look of the menu

all the food/beverage menu are written on the huge blackboard

one corner that is decorated with old chinese painting

frozen lemon. so cooling. so refreshing

one of the recommended dishes. clay pot lou shu fun. super nice.

i forgot what its called. but its white rice with curry chicken, grill prawns and telur masin

assam pedas. the gravy was good. just the fish was not as fresh. how i wish it was stingray!

3. Wondermilk, Damansara Uptown

wondermilk as you know it is in the same row as fat spoon. so i decided to get myself some dessert. you can never go wrong with their cuppies!

classic!

vanilla mini cupcakes

4. Dome, KLCC

chicken and mushroom pie

our satisfied faces :p

Ramadan Kareem. May Allah blessed you with Barakah in this holy month. Happy Fasting Everybody!

food fest weekend

whew! the title says it all. had a good + sinful weekend with my girl syafz two weeks ago. enjoy my food journey.

notice : reading this entry in the middle of the night is not advisable. trust me, you'll end up opening the kitchen fridge.thank you.

kick start our friday with a late lunch in nirwana nasi kandar bangsar. love the fried "peria" and pappadom, but the rest was average. as long as i had live, nilai negeri sembilan have the best nasi kandar. no joke.

late supper in sahara tent bukit bintang. one of the best arab food in kl. love the sahara chicken and the fresh baked arab bread. but what am i thinking? supper? definitely guilty as charged.

the signature sahara chicken

shish kebab

freshly baked arab bread. you'll ask for more

mahalabia and bakhlava for dessert. a bit dissapointed. doesn't taste good as the presentation.

the next day, went to tgi's for a birthday party. so this is what we ate.

syafz had tennessee grilled chicken

i had tennesse steak and shrimp. love the battered shrimp and tennesse sauce.

went back home and opened up a new box of bakhlava that my mom bought from her syria trip. and the bakhlava is way better than the one in sahara tent. bakhlava is definitely my dessert of the moment. loves it.

the next day, went for some dessert in baskin robbins. we opt for ice cream fondue. sooo sooo good. imagine ice cold ice cream ball dipped in hot chocolate sauce. its just heaven. wish they have this in kuantan branch. wouldn't mind this in any other day.

happy faces

all ready to fork it up

and we had our dinner in this chinese seafood restaurant, hokkaido. its located opposite vistana hotel. the place is always packed and full and its halal. very rare to find a good chinese halal restaurant in kl with affordable price. you guys should try it out.

first up, bowl of shark's fin soup

pineapple chicken

the moment of truth

my favourite sizzling tofu

salted khailan

man tao, best to be eaten with the crab

chilly sweet sour crab. nyumsss!

butter prawns

the queen of crab

the queen of soups and vege

i seriously ate everything

no turning back

damage is done

beard papa for dessert. tried durian puff and its yummy.

before the girls return back to kuantan the next day, we went to madam's kwan for lunch. the same old menu everytime. but good food overall.

chicken rice

nasi bojari

penang char kuey teow

sago gula melaka to round things up.

and ate this sesame ice cream with azuki beans for dinner with the family. yummss!

what do you think? food overload enough? it's time to detoxxxxxx. arggghhh!
