Hello all on a lazy Saturday.

Due to work arrangement I come back every fortnight. For sure back in maalaysia I like to spend time with my family. We like nice unique food/resturrant.

This few months,

I have tried Greek, Spanish, Argentinian.


Can share your secret resturant hideout? Thanks.

Find that good one either has a long queue or long drive
Nowadays I find it better to learn recipes while far2 away
Then come back home to cook/bake

Do u eat pork? How about butcher table?

These days I value my time more than money.

When my family is with me I cook. Now my time is limited rather go out eat.. like my dad before he retire he doesn't cook. After retire he learnt all the recipes from YouTube. Now I think he is a better cook than my mom. He bakes cheese cake , salted egg fried chicken etc.

Maybe when I retire.

I eat everything except raw oyster. Foie gras, escargot etc. Old already want to try everything. Lol. This one is ss2? OK will give it a try albeit a little far for me.

while waiting for recommendation, can you share your place for Greek, Spanish, Argentinian ?

can try vegetable dishes at Table and Apron at Damansara Kim. They have their bakery shop next door too.
some their iconic is eggplant with scallion pesto, tempura sweet potatoes with ricotta or Roasted Cauliflower with Ricotta Spread
Their bakery shop is good for breakfast too with fresh bakes and sweet desserts. seats are very limited, so please go early in weekend. No joke when you seeing old couple queening up outside the shop

Today having Hakka food

Greek- I tried at Mazi. Quite good. price was reasonable as well at Bukit tunku

Spanish - Poblano lorong Chulan


Ori Atlas - Cheras - food was nice but I think a tad pricey

lui cha ahh??? I cannot eat lehhh too green

vegetable food...cannot la.. I ok.. but my kids will scream murder

Nope ,is black fungus pork

Either u want to cook or don't want je , don't use retire card.

TS come Serious K to get proper answer, still got reply like this to insist self cook.

KEK

Yes nice. Iberico is nice.
Their steak is nicely done too- not the best quality but cook well.

Down side. Not much beer choice. And the sitting not too comfy.

Also fan of good beef? Wagyu Tavern is decent. 400 per pax. Buffet. Spurge once in a while la

big fan... but realize one thing..
my son cannot eat too much wagyu .. too fatty for him a night after that he will have tummy upset and lao sai.

I know because last time use to do bbq with wagyu.

thanks for the recommendation though...

hon po, maluri. hongkie style

Auntie Gaik Lean's Old School Eatery

You're quite adventurous in trying cuisines from lesser known countries.

I've been eating a variety of unique cuisines too;

- Northern Indian
- Pakistani
- Sri Lankan
- Yemeni
- Turkish
- Syrian
- Philippines
- Vietnamese
- Northern China
- Central China

Of course, I also go for the more common ones e.g. Thai, Japanese, masakan Melayu, Nyonya, Southern Indian, Indon etc

Not sure how to recommend.

What's your goal or priority? Ambiance, distance, uniqueness?

talked about HK style . today ended up at Lamp Hot pot. I assume it's HK style because its wallpaper deco has honkie flare.

not bad 8/10 but very bad for health.

bad news is my boy dropped my phone and now screen crack

wow nice.

Northern - tried many times- its more creamy and less spicy than southern
Vietnamese - been there many time so not really my favorite
Central CHina - been to Beijing and Shanghai- so I assume the taste are similar

This would be interesting. please recommend

- Pakistani
- Sri Lankan
- Yemeni
- Turkish (been to Turkey for a layover, didn't't really try much of their food but I would assume pretty much mediterranean style)
- Syrian
- Philippines


for me for sure distance>uniqueness . within KL would be nice.

once a fortnite ok laa. try this lamb rack too @bukit tinggi bentong

What u work as?
Sound like a good job..

wow looks good let. the fish, lamb rack, Lala... will set POI in my map


not really. I miss my kids

forget bout d seafood. try their porridge, chicken, rice, green chilli, okra

benihana and get the chef's table

seriously?? well, in that case i dont mind take over your job role as long as pay is good... desperate for a job here...

yes- it could be too oily for some.

As alternative- i do purchase online- approx Rm 600/kg/ either steak cut or yakiniku cut.
recently also going to WMArt - they have nice selection

> Aust wagyu around rm 450-500 /kg
> Japanese Wagyu around RM 850 /kg
and 20% discout if purchase in a block. very much worth it.


another choice is Jyu Jyu yakiniku..... Just rm 200 per pax, buffet with 300g of Aust wagyu+ various dessert. and other beef cutting as well. Free flow

Share pics too.

can share the location?

pakistani a lot these days, they are gaining traction

khan saab in wangsa maju, or khan in near HKL monorel there.

the taste ok for me , do try their palau briyani , couldn't get it anywhere, others maybe a bit similar to mamak stalls, as india pakistan cuisine for me is related , just subtle variance only

I'd say i'd prefer pakistani more than the common arabic foods these days . even yemen / syrian food they taste the same within arabic shops.

another one I would recommend is china muslim . try the xinjiang variants, their kebabs is to die for .

Please make appointment before go:

I just went last night

My fav le .. raw oyster, Foie gras, escargot .. enjoy much in France .. hehe

I'm not sure if I'm too picky but other than sausage, the rest not interest me at all =.=!!

I think the pasta is nice. Better than natalina

valentina cucina also quite good

for me i go this branch tmn desa used to be meat attic, same family

My son had a very good pasta(crab meat pasta) at Mazi. Very reasonable price too. Around rm30


Didn't take photo of the pasta coz it's rather normal looking.

Below here are some other foods we ordered.

want unique ah? Dine In The Dark comes to mind

Cannot. Got kids

Never been to France. But wife been there like foie gras but not too much. Similar to wagyu can be too fatty.

Of all the raw oyster my wife will harp about the bluff oyster in NZ ..even after 10 years plus.

When I first started makan Japanese wagyu. I saw rm699/kg wah so cheap. Turns out its not the choice cut. Basically the oyster blade or the rump.

Your Japanese rm850 is what cut ? Sirloin? Usually those not in block is around rm1299-1599/kg for sirloin

Anyway. I think these days I prefer Aust wagyu. Not too fatty and you csn sear it. With Japanese wagyu Hardy can have charred surface.

Can try Sushi Taka / Ushi / Tenshin at St Regis KL

I've made reservation for the Sushi Taka Omakase this week. It's my 2nd time experiencing the omakase and I'm so excited

How much?

If you like fine dining. Can try Sabayon at equatorial plaza.


I like it. But for sure it's not a daily, maybe once a year thing.

I use to enjoy such food when I'm younger .. I stil remember my dad bring back one whole block of cheese and I finished it almost 90% within 1 month just with baguette .. day and night just bread and cheese ..

Sadly what I like is not what most of my other family member likes .. so I get to enjoy most of it in a bigger portion ..

I can whack min 10 raw oysters just with Tabasco and lemon juice .. now cannot as you get older.

As for foie gras, I stop due to "ethical" issue in due to how it's being "produce" .. but cant resist. Use to sip wine, cheese or foie gras after every dinner .. not in Malaysia though ..

Try Steak Tartare if you can .. pls be cautious though .. and make sure mix mustard, crackec peppers and tomatoes sauce to enjoy ya (french way)

Taka Omakase is RM 1.6k++ per person

Fulamak. This one Michelin 3 star already.

ate spanish food that day quite nice, Marta's Kitchen @ Hartamas

if u like HK style wan tan mee, can try the one in kepong, Restoran Man Kee, boss is from HK, he is always in the shop, better than that commercialized mak kee to me

yes it is sirloin- i recall 650/kg per block. Each block 1.5 kg above
Australia not bad too... but block price is Rm 450... each block like 3kg or so....

Looking back....

1kg will give 4 piece of decent size steak. So about Rm 110 each for Aus wagyu and RM 150 each for JAp Wagyu
just need to cook- and it is actually not hard once you try it a few time.

a lot cheaper and nicer that eating outside.

Hokkaido Table Trx

Food quite good. Despite the empty tables. But portion very small







The bad is they don't serve tap water.
