it's still my favourite...

it's cooked with minced pork, chopped chinese mushroom and heaps of shallots..

due to this visit was in last year..
I can't recall what is this dish d...

something like.. Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs...

I supposed this was the first time trying this dish..
it's utterly delicious !!
the pork ribs are so tender and well-flavoured...

Onion Omelette


Hainanese Homemade Spring Roll


Signature Curry Fish Head

their curry is always tasted so Good !!
with heaps of 'laksa-flower' to add on the tasty level...

Farewell with Zoe at Batik Nyonya Cafe, New World Park

In my previous post, I mentioned we had a farewell lunch at Khuntai for Zoe with my family...
a week before that, we actually went for a farewell dinner with the girls...

we made it at Batik Nyonya Cafe, New World Park...


I quite looked forward to try out this Nyonya Restaurant since it has opened for few months...
I supposed they really spent times and ideas on the deco...

sadly to say that, we were kinda disappointed after the dinner...
we don't think we had set any high expectation on the foods..
just not for our liking perhaps...

Nyonya Cuisine always famous with nutmeg drinks...
once we stepped in the restaurant...
I can smell a strong fragrant of Nutmeg.. and I think it's good...
when I was so looking forward to try their traditional nutmeg drinks...
Carene told me... she felt it's rather weird and not nice during her last attempt...

in fact, it's so thick.. but surprisingly, doesn't have the taste that a nutmeg drinks should have...
slightly bitter instead...
I dunno if this is their special home recipe... just not for my liking... :P

Loh Bak

the look not really convincing... the taste.. erm.. OK

Jiu Hoo Char ( Cuttlefish fried Turnip )


Belacan Fried Chicken


Assam Prawn


Chicken Kapitan


Hainanese Spring Roll

it looks bit different from what I had at other places...
the different pastry they used maybe?

the tastiest dish of the nite~

Sambal Kangkung !!!

Stir Fry Egg and Salumi with Sambal

this was the first time most of us tried this veggie...
not for my liking.. it tasted bitter which I dunno why...
Fanne said those that like this veggie.. caused of the bitter taste... @.@

Ayam Ponteh


Linna kept emphasing...
not to order any fish dish...
as she had a bad experience at here before...
however, we still ordered this Nyonya Curry Fish for mummy...

the curry is not bad... but fish ain't that fresh....

Carene insisted us to try this Nyonya dessert...
no doubt.. it's really nice...

Pungat...
slightly taste similar like Bor Bor Cha Cha... but this added the flavour of Banana...
nice try~ :)
*thumbs up

ladies in stripes...



the girls will never talk-enough..
thus, we headed to esplanade for Rojak and la la...
before their babies and hubbies call to chase home... :P

Family Private Dinner at 119

3 weeks ago, daddy brought us for a ‘Private-dinner’…

What is it bout the private dinner?
Uh hmmm… we eat in the owner’s house…
You won’t allow to place order, you will not know what are you going to eat…

A full course dinner with 7 – 8 or 10 dishes..
it depends, as I said, we eat what the chef cooked…
Price Range between Rm420 or Rm 520 for 10 pax…
They use the beautiful antique cutleries when serving...

The owner was supposed to have a shop selling Canto Cuisine situated around Chulia Street…
we used to dine in there very often.. the foods are so nice !!
very sad indeed, they stopped doing business since 3 yrs ago…
reason being they wanted to r-e-t-i-r-e…. what can we say then? *sniff… :’(

We known they’re doing this ‘private-dinner’ thingy for long time, but never make ourselves to there…
And finally, daddy took the initiative to ring them up !

All of us were so looking forward… wondering what we will get to eat…
We were brought to a room with air-cond, huge TV, antiques houseware… There was another table of diners next to us on that nite…
teng teng... 1st dish served...
Owner told us it’s OTAK… based on it’s look, there’s no way to convince me or us that it’s by any chance look like an "OTAK"…

Nonetheless… It tasted Amazing… even the Kerabu Salad below the Satay Prawn is so so Tasty !!

------

2nd dish is Bird Nest Chicken… we thought it’s a soup dish.. in fact, it’s not… just a Chicken & Bacon （金华火腿）dish with some soup…

the Chinese Mushroom cooked till really soft and absorb the flavour of the soup...

-------

here the ‘Real-Soup' comes...

"Shark-Fin"
we will not know it's sharkfin if the boss didn't tell... the way they cooked is totally different from any place...

notwithstanding, it's nice !there're chinese mushroom, sharkfin, egg white, coriander and etc...

it goes well with vinegar...

--------

and my Fav-of-the-nite came..... *weEEee

斋菜
Mixed Veggie of, white cabbage, carrot, beancurd, black fungus, mushroom and etc...

we love their 罗汉斋 very much.. it's a must-order-dish whenever we visit their old shop...

this is the superb of that dish.. added more ingredients and transformed abit...
Home Fried Rice...

simple fried rice with egg and 'Chinese Smoked Sausage'...

we supposed they're using some special 腊肠... as it tasted really yummie... even a small piece of it... brings fastastic taste...

-------

Spare Ribs with special sauce...

no idea how to describe this dish... as dunno what kinda style is this? just know the tastiness is oh hoo ~~~~

the meat is so so so so so tender...

like the softness can get it 'melt' in your mouth... he he

it's so well-flavoured, I guess the chef must have cooked this for really long hours !!!

Very very Delicious !!

--------

Steamed Fish in Miso Recipe
does the name sounds unusual?

the soup-based is very special...

tasted bit sour... but unlike the Teoh Chew Style type..

all of us kept guessing what recipe it is? some rare taste but very Tasty...

until we finished the fish but still failed to guess what type of flavour is it, we decided to ask the boss... and he gave us an unexpected answer which is " MISO "

but it tasted totally different with the miso soup that we can easily get in any Japs Rest....

it's really nice !!

---------

Dessert of the day - Barley, with Wintermelon, waterchestnut & Ginko...

choices of cold or hot...

all of us given them a double-thumbs-up when walking out from their house/shop/restaurant ~ ^^

we will be backed !
