Wendy’s!

Fast food is something that is so happening in today’s time especially to youngsters when we lepak with our friends. Its much much easier to visit a fast food place than a normal sit-down-and-eat-restaurant (i don’t mean fast food makes you stand, you get the point XD )

Nuggetscale presents you with a good place to lepak if you happen to be in IOI Mall. It is called Wendy’s. Its pretty much like Macdonalds if you ask me. Easily recognisable as the mascot is a girl with red hair.

I ate a “1/2 Pounder Double With Cheese” (Sounds really long and yummy)

Now here is what you need to understand, the large in wendy’s is SUPER Large in comparison to Macdonald’s so don’t bother taking that unless you are prepared to have a huge cup of coke and a big pack of fries.

I took the medium set which cost me around RM16

So this is the french fries which taste OKAY but it is nothing in comparison to Macdonald’s which has been awarded “The Best Fries of the Year” award annually.

On to the main thing: The 1/2 Pounder Double with Cheese

IMG_4923

 

Just check out how greesy that bugger (opppps i mean burger) is. It has 2 patties and it is bigger than the patties at MacDs

Plus you get some veges and other stuff under that delightful sesame bun

Notice also that the patty is squared. Kononnya because their slogan is “Because we don’t cut corners”.

IMG_4922

 

This is just to show you how big the burger is. Sorta like the GCB size but alittle bit taller.

 

 

On to the taste, I totally love the burger cause when you bite into it you can really taste the beef patty. It is like the main event. The mixture of sauces also go quite well with it.

IMG_4925

Looks good doesn’t it?

Totally something that you have to try at IOI mall or Sunway Pyramid.

I can’t really recommend anything else that is nice there cause nothing else there is fabulous. Beef pounders are their main business

Overall:

 

Kinda expensive honestly…..i mean RM16 for a burger? But well if you consider the goodness of it I guess its a reasonable price to pay.

PASTA de GOHAN!

P1170008

Rawr! The second 9 nuggets review had arrived. I wanted to give 10 Nuggets because it is the best! And I really mean the BEST! Best pasta I’ve ever ate!

But then, I thought that nothing is perfect. So, 9 nuggets will be fine.

:)

Introducing the second 9 Nuggets review! (A must try before you die dish!)

Brief intro of this restaurant:

Located in Sunway Pyramid. They have other branches too. Google it for more info!

I just love those display/sample pastas they put on display!

P1170013

So tempting!

Oh ya, before carrying on to the review, there is 2 things you guys must add in to what you order if you dine here! Except the drinks. :P

P1170012

They are the Chilli Flake and the Parmesan Cheese! To add some oomph to the food!

And now, presenting the superb pasta!

P1170006

Wafu Healthy Pasta! EEL AND EGG BABEH!(Taken from menu)

P1170022

AWESOMENESS! (Taken when served)

As I said, you must add in the 2 things I mentioned earlier. It looks like this after adding them in:

P1170023

It make look weird or gross but I love them! It will surely trigger your taste buds.

P1170027

This is how it looks like after you mix them up!

What made this deserved a 9 Nuggets scale?!

1) The awesome pasta (Choice of spaghetti or fettuccini is given)

The portion in large! You get what you pay for!

2) The WAFU sauce

The special sauce that I simply love since my first try! I love the smell every time I burp after eating it!

3) The EELs!

I love fish! Especially eels! Wow! The eels are so thick and so much!!

OMG! It is not too sweet and just nice!!!! LOVE THEM x10000000000000000000000

4) The seaweed

To add some crunch

5) The cheese and chilli flakes!

Makes this whole plate of pasta perfect!

RM 24.80 for this.

Certainly worth paying so much for such an awesome, tasty, delicious pasta !

9 Nuggets!

It is worth paying so much!

The next item you all should try on your visit is:

P1170007

The WAFU pizza! Carbonara!

P1170030

Very crispy and crunchy flat pizza with various types to choose from.

Again, they put wafu sauce in it!

I just love the sauce! So tempting!

8 Nuggets for this pizza!

P1170031

At RM 18.80 per pizza, I think it can be much lower.

A half burnt note!

If you’re a pasta craze like me! You may be a member and enjoy the many privileges that includes 15% off your total bill amount! :)

P1170010

Pay RM30 and you get a RM 50 dining voucher on your next visit?!

Do the math! You earn RM 20!

I <3 PDG!

GCB ( ??? Chicken Burger )

Macdonalds has been doing a fabulous job making the GCB burger the hippest thing you can eat right now. Posters of this famous burger now spread across the city, newspapers and tv. They even have a contest for you guys to give suggestions what could G mean and you stand a chance to win tons of prizes!

So now the nuggetscale is on a fact finding mission to find if it should be named “Goodest Chicken burger” or……… “ Ghastly Chicken Burger”

A large set of GCB will cost around RM13 and there also is a DOUBLE GCB which would cost around RM17 for a large set as well. Kinda expensive to pay for a burger if you ask me as it is just “Grilled whole chicken thigh, Gorgeous iceberg lettuce and Glorious Char grilled sauce”

IMG_4913 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMG_4908

 

That is the size of a GCB burger in comparison with a Mcd ketchup packet.

 

 

 

 

IMG_4907

This is the grilled chicken whole thigh.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The taste is sort of like the McChicken burger just with a grilled chicken thigh. Quite tasty but it feels as though Mcd’s needed to find a new way to make some money and came up with the brilliant idea of creating a new chicken burger by just swapping the patty and doing heavy advertising that will brainwash people to try it.

If i were to enter the contest, i would just call it “Good Chicken burger” cause it tastes GOOD but not extraordinary as what the commercials are telling us.

Wonder if this is healthy because it is grilled and has veges? Can’t seem to find any nutritional information anywhere.

7 nuggets!

 

Slightly pricey but thats normal because you are paying for the advertising :P

House Of fish ball

This post is somehow related to the previous review.

After RE:LAX-ing at RE:LAX, you may proceed to this restaurant, which is a stone’s throw away from the Empire Shopping Gallery!

P1160503

The Tang House Of Fish Ball.

Yes. Almost everything or I can say everything sold here has fish in it.

P1160467

So, what’s famous here?!

Famous = Must try if you visit.

1) Homemade Fish Ball Noodles.

P1160491

Simple and tasty. :) RM 5 for this.

It is very obvious this noodles are made up of 3 main ingredients:

a) The special homemade noodles.

b) “Zu Yok Sui” (In Cantonese) :) Shredded pork

c) Fish balls (BALLS?! :P)

Even though it is a dry noodle, they did not use the black soy sauce in the noodles. However, they used some other white sauce which I thought was more healthy and tasty.

Conclusion: The noodles were non-sticky, the shredded pork blended perfectly with the noodles and the fish balls are the bomb. :)

Ooops..I almost forgot. The noodles will not be perfect without the special chilli sauce below. :P

P1160472

The official scale for this Homemade Dry Fish Ball Noodles:

2) The fishcakes/fish rolls/fish wan tans!

P1160492

On the left: Fish Cakes (RM0.80per) On the right: Fish wan tans (RM0.80per)

P1160496

Fish rolls (RM 1.20 per)

I love the fish wan tans the most because the fish meat inside are so compact! :)

As you guys know I’m a fish lover/ I <3 Fish, that is why I love this restaurant so much! Everything's’ fish!

Once more, these fried stuffs aren’t perfect without that very special homemade chilli sauce!

:)

Ratings:

Overall, this restaurant has a large variety of types of noodles (eg: Curry noodles, Hor Fun, etc) which you may choose according to your taste buds. But, 1 thing is for sure, they all contain fish balls/cakes/meats.

^^

Another reason why I love this restaurant so much,

P1160473

If you happen to visit this restaurant. :) Add noodles lah!

RE:LEX

It has been a very hectic week for me, and for some of you guys im sure! So now its time to RE:LEX during the weekend!

What am i talking about??? There’s a new shopping mall opened in Subang Jaya, just behind the Subang Parade mall, which is called the Empire Shopping Gallery. Its a more high class mall compared to IOI mall or Subang Parade. Lots of upmarket shops there and also a good place to lepak!

In this mall, there is a brand new IT centre called LEX ( Lifestyle Electronics eXperiencial centre). Can you really find good food amongst a bunch of plastic and metal objects? Well you can!

IMAG0169

The cafe in the store is called RE:LEX. Suitable name right?

The cafe just takes up a small portion of the area. It serves western and local food as well. There is plenty of room to kick back and relax in this gadget jungle. The owner of a cafe is a friend of mine who has went to Europe to study culinary arts so I expect the western food to be the BOMB.

Just a foot note, I will not be biased in the review and will be 100% objective in reviewing this place. Ill also be abit long winded in this review today cause there is just so much to say :D.

IMAG0148 IMAG0149

Firstly, lets take a look around, the ambience. There is a huge huge amount of room to roam about and mess around. There are 3 little rooms where you can just place console games for free! Also there is an empty space above that is suitable for group discussions and cell group meetings! Surround you is a beautiful scenery through the huge glass windows, and also a Mac, HP , Nokia and computer store!

Moment of truth , the food!

1. Lamb Chops with Fries for RM16.90.

IMAG0157 IMAG0155 IMAG0156

Honestly, its abit pricey but the portion you get is huge! Worth your while. 3 pieces of lamb :D

The lamb is cooked well, not tough, falls off the bone well, and it is served with mint sauce!

Fries today was abit salty but I think it might just be the chef’s mood today? Anyhow the fries are really really good, sorta like TGI Fridays kinda fries.

2. Roast Chicken @  RM13.90

IMAG0158 IMAG0159

You get half a chicken for RM13.90 , reasonable .

The chicken is cooked with rosemary and other herbs, the meat is tender, the herb taste is well done.

Served with a side of mash potato dressed in a mushroom type of sauce

3. Mushroom soup @ RM4.90

IMAG0147 

I <3 MUSHROOM SOUP. PERIOD.

This soup is totally awesome! It ain’t like the pizza hut or campbells soup where it is powdered form and they just add water. It is boiled from scratch and it taste totally better. It has a rich and creamy texture. Not too dilute or too thick, just nice. If you have tasted TGI Friday’s mushroom soup, this is better!

Kudos!

4. Hainanese Chicken Rice Balls @ RM8.90

IMAG0152

This is what everyone goes to Melaka for. Why go so far when you can get it right here at LEX. The chicken is good and tender. The rice is oily rice rolled into a ball just the way Melaka people like it :D

Time for the desserts. Now I was told that the desserts are made by mothers of his teens from church. So its 100% home cooked cakes!

1. Durian cake @ RM10.90

IMAG0164

Durian lovers will love this! As i write this now, the durian taste is still on my tongue. Very strong durian taste. Abit pricey, but i guess its the durian.

2. Choc Cheese Brownie @RM6.90

IMAG0167

Hmmmmmmm, its quite ordinary. Couldn’t really taste the cheese. The brownie taste is still there though.

3. Chocolate cake @ RM4.50

IMAG0168

This also was quite ordinary. Not very chocolaty but brownieee. lol

Just to prove i’m not biased, i tried finding fault with what i could find, so the only thing that was wrong was the Herbal tea, quite tasteless and also the service was abit slow cause of new staff.

Overall, this is a MUST VISIT place. Perfect place to RE:LEX and hang out if you are a teen!

They are also gonna have a concert on the 28th of August, good time to check the place out and at the same time have some fun!
