Outdoor Adventure, Kuchai Entrepreneurs Park

Why hello and greetings on a sunny month of May day! Just a matter of time the weather decides to change and rains heavily. *shrugs*
I know I have not been blogging for months now (please don't slaughter me) due to previous semester's heavy workload of staying back to complete sewing my garments (yes, I'm le fashion student kononnya muahaha) but now I'm here to re-pay my debt to all of you!
And I promise on a good post on foooood. :D
That means true comments on the food, be it good or bad.
However, this post from me won't suit to all readers because it is a non-halal restaurant that me and my friends went but if you are interested, do read it with an open mind. :)

As the title goes, the restaurant's name is called Outdoor Adventure (but I kept dismissing the word 'Outdoor to Outback' which has a similar westernized restaurant down in Bukit Bintang area). This restaurant cum bistro is located in Kuchai Entrepreneurs Park, along the corner lot of Star Village. Apparently Outdoor Adventure is a sub-restaurant family by Star Village. This is not only Outdoor Adventure is owned by the same company, but the interior and the feel of the overall restaurant is very similar to Star Village. And the funny thing is, these two restaurants are just side by side. What a weird location decision done. I'm not sure if Outdoor Adventure is a new alternative to change Star Village's name and concept but they're not exactly doing it right. (just saying)

Anyway, we got to know of this restaurant through Groupon deals where one of my friends spotted its affordable pork platter+beer set and its strategic location to most of us. It costs RM138 for 6 people and it comes with various choices of pork assortments from pork knuckle, smoked pork bacon, foot-long frankfurters, roasted ham, roast pork, cocktail sausages, and cheese pork sausages. They even have mango salad and mixed salad to flush down those fatsss. :P

We had a choice between Asahi or Calsberg beer which I immediately say yes to Asahi because I really dislike how Calsberg tastes. Since I have not tried Asahi (they have sponsored numerous events and raves these days so it makes them quite in demand now) so me and a few more who are more beer-pro (cheh wah) decides that Asahi is the ideal beer to drink for the night!

Size of the Asahi beer comes in about 2litres. At first we thought it wouldn't be enough to fit all 6 of us but we ended up playing beer games and finished it just enough.

The taste reminds me a little of Hoegaarden and Tiger beer infused in it. It has a rich taste to it and unlike Heineken, which I can literally drink as water. Lolol

The pork platter and the salads

The pork bacon here has a rather nice fatty taste to it but too bad it was just enough for one slice for each person. :(

The roast pork and the frankfurters platter. To me, the frankfurters were very normal, nothing great or unique to it really. The ham was okay, well seasoned and not too dry. The roast pork has a lot of white pepper in it, be it ground or crushed ones. The fat content of the roast pork is also very heavy which I am not into it.

The pork knuckle. Seriously, my friend struggled to cut this pork knuckle into pieces and there were way too many parts that were overcooked. Or I am thinking that this pork is very old, thus the hardened fats and muscles. Not really a good impression of a pork knuckle to me. :/

Upclose on the frankfurters platter. Apologies for the blur, pixalted pictures. All of the pictures are taken through iPhone (not mine) and I didn't bring my handy ol' DSLR for this round's post. :(

Mango Salad. Served with mango( of course), raisins, cucumber, turnip, pineapple, lettuce, purple cabbage, tomatoes with thousand island

Another round of salad but this is not as sweet as the mango salad. Served with cherry tomatoes, turnip, big onion, purple cabbage, lettuce, green pepper, pineapple, cucumber and raisins with thousand island sauce.

Despite the lack of spark in the food we ate, there are some good pointers I managed to find out. For one, I have noticed is that the waiters serving there are rather friendly and mostly done by non-local waiters (something hard to find). One of them are even so fluent in Cantonese! And since one of my friend had just passed her birthday, some of us decided to buy a slice of cake for her. The staffs from the Outdoor Adventure dimmed the lights and played a birthday song for my friend. Lucky her. And they have a really nice candle that looks like a flower that blooms with candle lights and even played song in it! But Tyng said that the candle was originated from Star Village, which I have no clue of. Maybe they're just reusing it I suppose. But the epic part hasn't come just yet. One of the waiters actually brought two Afro wigs for the birthday girl to wear! Hahaha. Indeed it was a memorable one. I'd post a picture of her and me (yes, I wore the other Afro hair, rainbow colored!!) but then I don't want to embarrass her.XD

Although there is oneee thing I'd like to point out; despite the friendly customer service they have, one of the waiters had a bad body odor which I can't seem to avoid to notice. In my opinion, overall appearance is very important in sustaining a good customer service.

Well, hopefully he notices his own manly smell and change to a more manly fresher, acceptable to everyone's smell. xD

I have looked through their ala-carte menu and the type and food serving served there is very similar to Star Village. An average chicken chop can fetch up to RM23, which I deemed to be quite pricy. But maybe they will have a better taste than other westernized restaurants, I'm not sure.

Will I go back? Only if there is another Groupon deal for their ala-carte menu.

Oh, if it helps, we went at 7pm for dinner and they start their operating hours from 6pm onwards for the 2nd session. But then it merely depends because they insist on calling before coming over.

Wi-Fi: Yes (UniFi)

Operating hours: Monday-Saturday: 5pm – 11pm / Sunday: 12pm – 11pm

Nasi Lemak @ Jalan 223 ,Petaling Jaya

One of my friends brought me here to try nasi lemak at midnight. This will be my second time eating nasi lemak at this hours. I have heard of this nasi lemak for quite some time but never bothered to look for it until my friends brought me here.

There will be a lot people starting to get order from you while you are walking into the food court. I counted at least 4 people ask me what I wanted to eat. This place is like another version of Portuguese Settlement in Malacca because someone will approach you to try their stall.

Nasi lemak packaging in red ink on blue plate and nasi lemak packaging with blue ink on red plate! Messing with your mind when you're hungry!

Why this people put so many nasi lemak on my table? Actually there is another person selling nasi lemak at this place. You can see their company name in different ink colours and plate colours are different also.

Nasi Lemak Panas Yati Gerai (red ink), RM 1.50

My friends and I decided to try the Nasi Lemak Panas Yati Gerai (RM1.50) which is in the red ink colour on the packaging. This nasi lemak tasted normal to me but it's very hot & I can see the steam coming out! One of my friend ate 2 packets of the nasi lemak from different stalls & his feedback to me was Suri Nasi Lemak Panas(RM1.50) is spicy. My friend preferred the spicy version than the normal version nasi lemak.

Otak-otak, RM 0.60

You can order some side foods at this food court also like otak-otak (RM0.60 per piece). This will be my first time to try Malay otak-otak & I still prefer the Chinese version. Not to say Malay version otak-otak is not nice but maybe because it tasted like fish paste to me. Two of my friends also said the taste is like fish paste to them. I did try otak-otak from both stalls but the taste for me were still same.

Taufu bakar (RM3 for 2pcs) was sold here too. Overall, this dish tasted good for me but very little vegetables compared to the Chinese version of taufu bakar.

Klang Curry Mee and Steamed Lala

Mmmh! What better meal for a cold weather like this to sip on hot, hot food? For curry mee lovers, this post I dedicate to you.

The last weekend I managed to go back to Klang (my second home) for a reunion with my good friend's sister. Although the time spent was cut short with me exploring Klang in just one day-one night trip, but I managed to grab the opportunity to see Setia City Mall in Setia Alam for the first time. Gawd, I love that place. it has every damn shops I want to shop. This shopping mall is my most complete sanctuary of shopping haven. Someone please bring me there again!

Aside of my obsession for shopping spree (always in the mood if I see something cheap, good and nice), I had my dinner as suggested by my dear friend to have curry mee and steamed lala.
Now, that is something new I hear for Klang food, aside from seafood and dry bak kut teh.

Situated in the Klang city (I think Klang City is a very busy place, especially in the afternoon, at night only you can see 'worker's roaming around for some extra service in the alleys where I'd make silly jokes with my friend if we'd pop their boobies with needles. Gawd. I know. I'm bad. My bad. :p). What I realised about Klang too is that they may have a street or few streets that remind me of Jalan Ampang and Brickfields. Like Little India. Lotsa stuffs going around. Wonder if they have indian banana leaf rice too? :D

Restoran Tsy. Reminds me of Psy. LOL. Wonder if this shop is managed by him, or his brother. Or if he has a brother :p

Photobomb fingers by my friend.

Curry mee for four! Actually this is a medium. You can call for a large one, which I think can fit for 4-5 people. Medium here looks big but there are three big eaters and one small eater so to me I wasn't feeling all that full that night. xD

You have to try this curry. This curry got me sweat face all over! Its spicy, creamy, powdery, hot and everything curry spicy thing going on! I was not a spicy and hot fan few years ago but I opened up to chillies, tom yam, curry and such in time to build up my spice taste buds for more exciting food tasting. Talk about food adventure! All for you readers! Muahaha! Its hard at first because I'd find spicy food so spicy to the extend that I could not breathe properly and once, I accidentally chewed on chilli padi, boy I could not feel my tongue for a good 30minutes. So numb! But now okay lah. Sweat banyak. I got laughed by my friends whom were half Thai-blooded. They're mocking my noob tolerance to spicy-ness. LOL. Oh well, gotta start somewhere ain't I? The curry mee has quite generous portion in terms of their stuffs added, mainly brinjals, long beans, prawns, tau foo pok, taugeh, pari fish, and onions.

Definitely one of the best steamed lalas I have ever tasted. I'm not really good at identifying good seafood because of my unwanted condition of not able to consume seafood, but I made this an exception. The soup/sauce/gravy is amazing. with ginger, garlic, chilli and I think they had some special wine to it and steamed to tender moist and perfection, you can't really stop eating it. The only setback on this dish was my friend's husband complained of the size of the lalas had shrunk tremendously. Also a tip given by him is that lalas must, must be eaten while they are hot and steamy. Sounds sexually explicitly wrong. Hahaha. Oh well, food is something like sex anyway. It is primary, biogenic needs, something that you need to satisfy in order to fulfill the satisfaction, otherwise, may create some uncomfortable tension. LOL. Here I go ranting about the lowest hierarchy of needs in Maslow's Theory. (This is what happens when a fashion student got excited over a marketing subject.)

Both yummy dishes for four that night.

Another shot on the steamed lalas.

They serve very fresh Carrot Milk too! Should try. If there is any sourness to it, insist on changing it immediately as the milk may have turned bad.

All in all, the cost of the overall food is about RM30, which I think was not too bad.

You can find this restaurant at;

Tsy Restaurant, Klang's Claypot Curry Mee
No.16, Jalan Goh Hock Huat, 41400, Klang, Selangor Darul Ehsan.

I think this opens only at night and available till about 12am. I had it around 10pm that night. So much for spiciness late night supper. ;)

P.s: Take note for those afraid of cockroaches, there are some flying ones here, which got me freaked out while eating. I guess it can't be helped with our consistent mates whenever there's good food around. They call it, 'ka liu'. LOL. Just kidd.


Cheers!

Sweet Deli Station

My family and I like this restaurant and we usually come here for dinner.

I brought two friends to this place too and they said it's worth coming from Puchong to eat here in OUG.

The restaurant is called Sweet Deli Station.

It is beside Chatone, or I would say it's opposite The Baker's Cottage.

Sandwiched in between Plaza OUG and Central Market.

Their Benton sets are good.

The main meal comes with a bowl of soup, two watermelons, a small plate of mashed potatoes and eggs and another plate of fried wantan.

The portion was just nice for me. For my two friends, they were very full after that so as usual, it varies for individuals.

I will usually order their Lemon Fish or Marmite Fish.

However, I ordered Herbal Chicken Benton that day and it was good as well :)

Everything was cooked just right. 

It costs RM 10.90

You know sometimes there are shops that overcook their chicken meat but this chef doesn't. XD (the one I had in Station One was a torture, skinny chicken, almost no meat. All tanggal and lost somewhere.)

Ern and Ying, my sisters who are twins, ordered Scrambled Egg Sausage Benton.

It costs RM15.80

When Ern comes here,  she always orders this so it must say something good about this dish eh?

Ying is much more adventurous.

Another dish that  Ying likes and my dad ordered is called Salted Egg Steamed Minced Pork.

It costs RM 9.90

Ying also ordered a different drink this time.

The drink is called Chocolate Explosion.

It costs RM 5.80

We were able to drink from the chocolate wafer :P

It was tasty. Inside the drink, there's chocolate pudding.

For me, it was alright in the beginning but after some time, I just want the pudding to go away.

Too full lah.

A New Look to Maggie Goreng?

Few months ago my house had nothing to eat so usually an emergency meal at my home is to cook two packets of maggie goreng.
No, it's not your typical mamak style maggie goreng alright. If its that normal I will not post this as a random post. Lol.
Its my own version of maggie goreng and I tend to.. overdone things. Slight!
Oh, when I finished cooking, my sister decided to come back and brought back leftovers from Tony Roma's. How delightful!

So, to revamp the whole look, I made two hard boiled eggs as well and here it goes to look after everything is thrown in;

The yellow color sauce on the hard boiled eggs is Tony Roma's mustard sauce. Definitely Yum-yum to go with everything in here.
And it is a complete meal with vegetables, eggs, carbohydrates, and meat. :D

Hope you feel hungry.

P.s: Not everyone can consume this much of food so some may perceive as excessive. :p
