SF Seafood, Sungai Buloh

I was at the Sungai Buloh Chinese School for an event and decided to pop into the restaurant next door for some food before heading home. You many choose to dine alfresco or dine in the air-

conditioned section. I chose the latter as it was sweltering hot.

We ordered this dish called the green dragon vegetable (RM8)  and salted vegetable soup (RM6).

This is salted eggs with pork (RM16) , a dish that is rather ‘new’ to me. I love the mild saltiness of the morsels of meat.

This is ikan jebong steamed with some ginger and lots of garlic (RM30) – the freshness of the fish made this dish simply heavenly.

Complimentary dessert -sliced watermelon

Grandmama, Pavillion

I like the cover of the menu! Grandmama on a big bike.

Well, well, hopefully service here is fast, just like 

grandmamma zooming away on her bike….and yes, I was impressed by the service. A friendly waitress ushered me to my table and within minutes of placing my order, a piping hot bowl of fish head noodles arrived.

Yummy….the fish was fresh, which was definitely a plus and I love the fact that the soup had lots of evaporated milk in it. Somehow, I always find fish head mee hoon soup more appealing when evaporated milk is incorporated into the soup. Thumbs up!!

Restoran Kepala Ikan Segar

This is the branch of the famous steamed fish head of Jalan Chan Sow Lin. The restaurant is simple and so is the food, simple yet making a lasting impression.

We ordered lotus root soup (RM7) – albeit slightly oily, this soup was packed with flavour.

Bean sprouts with salted fish (RM7)  - bean sprouts , which would otherwise be tasteless has been cleverly paired with  salted fish to give it that extra boost it needed, yet not too pervasive for the bean sprouts to lose it crunchiness.

Sweet sour boneless pork (RM13) – we chose the boneless meat as it was easier to eat. The robust sauce certainly paired well with the pork. Awesome!

Steamed fish head (RM22) – with lots of garlic and garnished with chopped spring onion, the steamed fish was alright and lived up to my expectation in the ‘freshness’ department.

Upin & Ipin, Giant USJ

The entire restaurant is designed based on the truly Malaysian born cartoon series Upin dan Ipin,a pair of orphaned twins who live with their grandma. The television sets place in strategic locations within the restaurant play the Upin & Ipin series all day long. The outlet has also allocated a fair amount of space for the retail of merchandise ranging from toys to tumblers, food containers as well as T-shirts.

We ordered fresh orange  (RM5.90) and a bottled lychee and a bottled blackcurrant juice (RM3 each). I love the tangy refreshing orange juice and was glad to see that the bottled drinks are actually printed with the characters of the twins.

Nasi cencaru sumbat (RM9.90) – with its exquisite flavour, this dish was a combo of sweet and savoury which really tingled my taste bud.

Nasi goreng atok (RM8.90) – I would say the beautiful presentation resembles that of nasi goreng kampung- fried rice with an egg on top, decorated with sliced cucumber and tomatoes along with some fish crackers.

Spaghetti carbonara (RM12.90)-deliciously creamy!

Ayam goreng Upin & Ipin (RM3.80 ) – the fried chicken here is crunchy on the outside yet tasty and moist inside. Love it!

Although the outlet has the Mastercard sign, we were told that they only accept cash.

Cicerello’s, Fremantle

If you are wondering why I have not updated my blog for about a week, thats because I was out of the country.

About half an hour’s drive or so  from Perth is the village …oops CITY of Fremantle. Frankly I find it to be a little too tiny to be a city. Anyway Fremantle is a harbour due to its location which is just at the mouth of the Swan River.

I took a stroll along its streets and got the feeling that I was back in time….many of the streets will give you the feeling that you are somehow lost in the 19th century.

Well, maybe this is what charms most tourist and after an hours' walk I decided it was time to eat.

My choice was none other than Cicerello’s. Established in 1903, it prides itself as ‘Western Australia’s Number 1 Fish n Chips’. The view from the restaurant is simply mesmerising and the atmosphere is relaxing.

I chose to sit right next to the harbour. Many ships are docked there and birds are flying everywhere.

I ordered 2 types of food (yes..because I was starving after all the walking). The lady took my order  and I paid up. I expected to be given my food…but no, she gave me this device and told me to wait for my turn.

I went back to my table and after some time, the device  vibrated . So I  went back to the counter and collected my food.


I really loved the tasting plate. Everything was so fresh...….finished up everything…after all it costs a bomb (after conversion it would be over RM100!)

I didn’t finish the fish and chips (which by the way was ordered because I wanted to find out how WA’s best fish and chips tasted) perhaps because I was too full after eating the tasting plate and also because I am not that crazy for fish and chips.

Dragon One Seafood Restaurant, Kuantan

Along the busy stretch of Jalan Haji Ahmad, Dragon One Seafood offers an escape from the noise produced by cars zooming along the road. Occupying a corner shop lot, this restaurant offers free wifi for its customers.

I was there for dinner recently and I must say the food there is good and the service pretty alright.

These are some of the dishes that I had:-

I must announce to you that the ikan jebong cooked asam style had the right amount of tanginess without being overly fiery. The pleasant savoury taste was definitely great!

London Town, Publika

Today was just another day when I didn’t feel like dining out. So I drove to Publika and packed some food for me and junior.  I noticed that the walls were nicely decorated with iconic landmarks of London as well as funny faces of some famous British celebrities….see how many you can recognise from the photos below!

I can see Mr Bean!

I had the fish and chips…so should I say fish and fries! With some peas to accompany the protein and carbohydrates, I can see that London Town takes great pain to make each meal complete. The fish was crispy and I love it.

My son had chicken served with mashed potatoes, carrots and broccoli.

Tony Roma’s Citta Mall

Tony Roma’s opened a new outlet in Citta Mall a few weeks ago. There are very attractive promotions going on now and when I was there today, there was this promotion called ‘We Pay You To Eat For Free’ meaning that for every RM10 spent, we get an RM10 voucher, which is valid for the entire month of May at the Citta Mall outlet.

We made our orders and were first served with bread. I love the butter which has a strong smell of herbs. For the record, bread is on the house.

Our 3 refreshing drinks – mango juice (RM8.90 for bottomless drink – not bad!), mint and fruit dream as well as cranberry mojito, both priced at RM14.90 each.

This is chicken salad (RM29.90). I love the healthy mix of fresh garden greens and the tender pieces of chicken – easy on the eye & stomach too!

Chicken mojo – served with broccoli and rice (RM34.90) -  2 pieces of boneless chicken served atop fragrant rice – simply awesome.

Fish and chips (RM26.90)  - served with coleslaw, ketchup and some tartar sauce, the huge serving justified the price.

It is highly recommended that you make a reservation to avoid any disappointments as the queue was very long when I was there. Many people left with empty stomachs!
