Lonesome Dinner

On certain days, my partner-in-crime went home leaving me alone for dinner @ ofis.

It was a Ramadan month then...and i got myself bubur lambuk...yea, it's free!

I reheated the porridge and made some guava cordial drink to go with it....

there goes my lonesome meal...

on other days...i would munched on buns/breads

i like these economical breads from Tesco...RM2.50 that can stuffed u til full!

the 'coloring' is scary...but i only hav these once in a while...

Tuesday Lunch - Shogun2U

This is one of the lunchbox (bento) order from Shogun2U. It was on 50% discount with online order using Citibank credit card.

The below is sweet & sour fish rice set which comes with potato wedges in mixed beans... 

nothing to shout about....the fish chunks are overly 'floured' and i felt like eating fried flour. Not gonna order this next time.

Old Town White Coffee, Sri Petaling

It has been a year since i last dined in Old Town...and i missed their ais kacang.

So this time i purposely drop by to savor my fav ais kacang...just for RM3!

well, the usual price is RM5 something, but if you order a main meal, u r eligible to top-up RM3 for ais kacang...so there goes our main meal...

Hainanese fish rice
that piece of dory fish is without bones

i wonder which part of this is Hainanese?

Below: Steam mushroom chicken rice

it was served with blanched bok choy...

the chicken pieces were great...there were no bones in them. Marinated well and tender...I will definitely order these again.

BON APPETIT!

Buddies Bistro, IOI City Mall

This place looks kinda dark...and secluded

it is facing the stretch of alfresco style dining area in IOI city mall...

And is obviously a pub/bistro

 quiet during daytime....

but it has set lunch offer on its menu with reasonable price!

 u can order beer to go with ur meal...but well, it's just too early for a beer session at noon!

we ordered the set meal - RM16.80 (excludes service charges + GST)

for starter u can have either salads...

 or soup of the day

 i ordered soup of the day + iced lemon tea

 as for the mains - here's my smoked duck with pilaf rice

the smoked duck was very well marinated and flavorful but oily...

tender and succulent duck meat....superbly delicious!
BON APPETIT!

Banana Leaf Rice @ Legend's Claypot Briyani House

A colleague brought us to this place in Serdang. The restaurant is air-conditioned and unlike any typical banana leaf rice place where the waiter would serve the dishes from the pot. This is more like a modern fast-food concept where all the side dishes are pre-cooked and ready in small metal tray with fixed amount. Each combo has its own classification such as Briyani Rice special, ordinary, etc (depending on selection of vegetarian/chicken/mutton/fish/combination of different selection etc).

I ordered a 'default' Briyani Rice on banana leaves, which is almost vegetarian that comes with a bowl of dhal gravy on the side. That gravy has chunks of meat (I tink is chicken) but is very minimal.

pricewise is considered cheap for a banana leaf meal as this is not a typical banana leaf restaurant where u can request for various types of curry gravy or veggies toppings. Despite being a fully Indian restaurant, it lacks the ambience due to its modernized concept (where u order from menu) and the staffs are not the typical friendly 'ah neh' that scoops the dishes to ur 'plate'. Anyhow, i'd say this place is sort of 'beginners ground' or 'introduction' place if u wanna taste the Indian cuisine for the first time coz the menu has an elaborated description and pictures of the dishes.

Black Canyon, IOI City Mall

 We were indecisive this time....My colleague wanted to have soupy meal meanwhile i opted for rice...hence we went to this place as it seems to be serving Asian food - well, it's Thai.

 we went searching around and passed-by a pool in IOI city....most of the eatery/restaurants were still crowded despite almost 2pm...

 we quickly grab a table and start ordering...service was darn slow due to shortage of staffs.

 the menu looks good....

 and promising....

 i ordered Set A which is RM12.90 (exclude service charges + GST). The set meal comes with a mini Tom Yum soup...

Can you guess what is this?

it's green curry chicken rice set...

well, it doesn't look 'green' at all!

Tastewise, so-so only. I would rather order the green curry rice set from the nearby foodcourt.
