Takeaway/Delivery meals in Barbados

[Throwback November 2023]

(Below) This was from a food truck nearby Rockley beach...some sort of Caribbean style rice with corns, beans, chicken cutlets (if I remember correctly) with some ranch sauce. 

Then during the workday, a local colleague offered to order us lunch - jerk chicken which came with fries.

Jerk chicken is actually grilled chicken...it would taste better if there's some salads or greens to go with it. I believe the restaurant has ala-carte salads, but it wasn't me who do the ordering, so I shall not ask too much😂

On another day, I had the food delivery via HopScotch.

Ordered a kimchi with chicken teriyaki rice from a Korean restaurant.

Taste OK, like those dosirak/bento dish that you can get in KL.

TK Bakery 20% Off

After reading Mun's post about TK Bakery 20% discount, i went there to get some egg tarts and a walnut cake.

My purchase: 2 lard egg tarts, 1 butter egg tart, 1 walnut choc chip cake.

*the onigiri is bought from next door 7-11 store

yay....another 20% off if you keep the receipt for the next purchase! Valid till next month.

They usually provide plastic bag but on this special promotion day they gave this paper bag instead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

McD green curry fish burger set meal with add on 3 pieces of chicken tenders (add on RM 9.90), hence total bill is RM26.85nett

Trying this out of curiousity....tastes so-so only with very mild green curry taste.

Hakshan

Went to try out Hakshan, a newly opened Hakka food restaurant in the neighbourhood.

During the first few weeks of opening, this place was mostly occupied during the weekend lunch and evening.

On my first visit, I went in the evening, and their Hakka luicha (thunder tea rice) was sold out, hence I had Hakka braised pork rice. The pork was quite fatty....it was just so-so....

I try my luck on the next day, this time I went earlier....and the luicha was available....yay!

The rice was served in a tray with the luicha soup and a small saucer of anchovies...

Despite the variety of ingredients on the plate...I still find it lacking 'ummpphh'.

The Foloso's luicha tastes better than them coz it has cashew nuts instead of peanuts and the soup is thicker.

Sadly Foloso has closed down, and the premise is now replaced with a hotpot restaurant.

The bill came to RM19.80nett after deduction discount from membership.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The so-called Hainanese chicken chop from BrewMaster....

I like their Bolognaise sauce, it feels like eating Bolognaise pasta without the pasta. I dip the fries on the sauce instead.

RM19.50nett with ice lemon tea.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bulgogi jjungsik from Midam Korean BBQ restaurant. It was served with 6 banchans and a jar of barley tea. Quite worth it for RM24.20nett.

Quiet Weekend in Panama

While in Panama, there was one long weekend with off days on Monday & Tuesday, hence I don't get to go to the office (public holiday, all offices closed) but I was still working from the hotel.

Hence, in the morning I took my sweet time to have a heavy breakfast so that I could skip lunch....

My second plate is full of raw stuffs....salmon, ham, fruits and some green leafy.

Then I also had omelette....

Flush down with 2 glasses of juices and 1 glass of plain water.

3 plates in total.....my extravagant breakfast!

When evening comes, I went to the gym.

There's no one there, just me.

The sunset view from the gym.

A fully equipped gym.

I don't usually do weightlifting....mostly focus on the treadmill.

A water dispenser with paper cups is provided.

Next to the gym is the hotel pool.

Not a huge one, just moderate size.

You can have a view of the surrounding commercial buildings while hanging out at the pool area.

1.46 m depth

From afar, the Pacific Ocean.

Pho Vietz

Kek Lapis sold in AEON Mid Valley.

It is available in original and pandan flavors. I bought the pandan one.

Very light pandan taste....but the cake is sweet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pho Vietz

Tried the lemongrass grilled chicken rice vermicelli 'bun cha'.

It was served in a bowl with lotsa shredded cucumbers, some basils, mint leaves, beansprout, pounded peanuts, lettuces and the grilled chicken chop (which was cut into pieces). Fish sauce with bird eye chili was served separately.

The restaurant interior....

AMAH

I also went to "Ali, Muthu, Ah Hock" restaurant for their nasi lemak promo. It was during the Merdeka month back then.

Below is the shop name in Chinese character.

The shop logo.

The picture below evokes memories of a time when people of all races lived together in harmony.

The restaurant is quite empty in the evening.

Also, partly because the fried chicken leg (ayam berempah) was sold out and only has curry chicken available for the RM6.80 promo.

Their nasi lemak taste OK....moderate. The chicken curry has the frozen chicken taste.

AMAH is located at the corner end, with entrance outside the mall.

Bill is RM7.20 after tax and service charge.

Sun Thai Restaurant (Halal Thai Food)

Went to try other dishes in Sun Thai restaurant. The first time I went there was in April last year.

So far, I've tried their Pad Kra Pow (with minced chicken basil instead of pork basil, coz it is a halal restaurant), Thai fish cakes and pineapple fried rice.

This time I'm trying their Thai-style tofu (RM11.90+)

The tofu is coated with flour before deep fried, hence it has a crispy skin. Served with shredded carrots, cucumbers, purple cabbages, onions, chili and crushed peanuts...the gravy taste sourish & spicy. The combination of the ingredients is like acar. That's my 'side dish'....now for the mains....

If something tastes good, I usually stick with it - so Pad Kra Pow it is!

the Pad Kra Pow costs RM14.90+

Overall, a satisfying meal, the bill came to RM31.10 nett after service charge and tax.

The restaurant has a colorful interior, bright and spacious for family dining.

After the heavy meal, went for a walk at nearby The Store...

This so-called largest claw machine park has an outlet in Sunway Pyramid too.

Some of the odd items you can find in the claw machine....

coconuts....

shampoos....

RM1 per token. I think minimum has to buy 10 tokens.

I have played claw machine before, previously in some sort of event. Definitely not easy.

Nando's Peri-peri Sauce Chicken

It has been years since I last had Nando's. I miss their peri-peri sauce!

So, I made a visit to the branch in Pavilion BJ, browsed thru the menu to see what's new....

Seems like nothing much has changed since the last few years.

Ordered and paid via the link from the QR code. Yes, gotta pay first....

I had a quarter chicken with coleslaw and potato wedges as sides.

The set meal came with a mushroom soup....

and a refillable drink.

My stomach was full of liquid after having the soup and soft drink😂

Nevertheless, it was a good meal. I will come back again!
