You can click the picture above of the menu to see the pricing and stuff.

So now onto the food!

^ another special type of fish but i can’t remember the name XD

^ the fish that was brought to our table earlier made into sashimi

^ Cod fish bento

Looks mouth watery isn’t it? haha

Honestly, i really really loved the restaurant cause the food is really really segar. In one of the pictures there is a tray of fish, the lady came up to my table and asked us to choose which one we wanted for our sashimi. The fish just flew in that morning itself so the meat was very very fresh.

Theres also this special sauce that is supposed to go with that fish that we choose.

I think they call it “po doi” or something like that. Its my first time trying it . Syiok!

The soup that you see in the 2nd last photo is a special type of miso soup. They boil it with some expensive fish. It tastes sweet and has a very strong taste. Gila SYIOK!

The fish that i can’t remember the name to was very well cooked. It is really pricey btw. Half the fish costs RM160 WAHLIAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO . So the whole fish, which wasn’t very huge, was RM320. The meat is very tasty but you must be careful not to eat the belly portion cause it tastes bitter, which i kena’ed on the first bite XD.

Then lastly, there is the tempura which I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE <3 <3 <3.

The coating is crispy and fragrant. Very enjoyable biting into the soft shell crab and prawn. Plus the prawn is quite huge…… so it’s not a rip off.

So overall, we give:

Well done chefs!

It is a burnt note because the whole meal for 4 of us cost RM749 !!!!!!! However you do get what you paid for which is good food and quality service.

K-lunch

The title of this review should be familiar to those who recently or used to party at Redbox before.

It is one of their promo for karaoke from 11pm to 3pm daily.

Of course, lunch and a drink is included from RM10.99. The price range is between RM10.99 to 19.99 depending on your food selection.

During my visit, I went for the cheapest set on the list due to tight budget which gave me 2 options:

Either:

1) Salad

2) Fried rice

Knowing it was lunch time, I opted for the fried rice, with a glass of lychee drink to accompany during this 4 hours of karaoke-ing.

Let me remind you,

The K-lunch includes:

1) Your choice of meal

2) Your choice of drink

3) 4 hours of non-stop karaoke with or without your mates.

4) A private room for you or with your friends for 4 hours.

And this is the fried rice I chose:

RM 10.99 for this. Together with the drink and the 4 hours of karaoke.

Close up!

Lychee drink cause it is rather refreshing!

Overall the fried rice was not really oily and the portion was very big! Nothing much about it as it was rather simple, just rice fried with egg and some beans with some crispy crackers as toppings. Thumbs up for the portion. ^^ Quite tasty too! Not over tasty!

6 Nuggets for this.

It is absolutely reasonable!

Take this if you’re tight in budget!
It is worth every penny! :)

Have fun Karaoke-ing!

Restoran Suang Le River

TheNuggetScale is on the road again, this time to the country side not far for people in Selangor. It is located at Bagan Pasir , on the way to Tanjung Karang. It is a small fishing village and when i mean village, it really is, wooden houses on stilts, fishermen playing mahjong , the river in sight.

So here we are on our search to find good food in remote places!

^ Steamed crab <3

  ^ Lala (clams) cooked in rice wine

^Sotong in marmite sauce

^ Kung Po Lai Liu Har (Prawns)

^2kgs of steam Pak Chou <3

One thing you notice when you step into this simple house cum restaurant is that there are tanks of water filled with live fish for you to choose ( not to make your pets lahhhhhh ) for you to enjoy at your table. HAHA

Guarenteed fresh. I saw the uncle scoop up an old and dying crab and tossing him out the window XD.

The food was quite good. I think the dishes that i liked alot were the Pak Chou fish which was hugeeeeeeeeee and the crabs too. The Pak Chou was 2kgs! It seems the fella didn’t understand when we said we only want HALF the fish. Instead he cut it into half =.= . Luckily there was 6 men at the table , boleh sapu everything and one of them was rather big XD .

The crab from the photo you can see its quite fresh. The shell is just so cute, got white spots on it (no it isn’t sick) . I think the way they cooked this dish was rather simple, pretty much just steaming with minimal additives. However the meat was naturally “tim” (in cantonese) , sweet. That shows how freshness really makes a difference.

The others were just okayyyyy….. The Kung Po lai liu har wasn’t that good cause the skin was not crunchy enough. Bo Song mannnnnn.

I think this place is cool because the food is fresh but maybe the chef better work on his kung fu if he mau orang mari.

So overall , the whole meal costs us RM200+ for 9 of us(the 2kg fish was about 100 ringgit) Bolehla, eat this meal in KL will burn your wallet.

6 nuggets because i think the food was moderately good but the food was fresh. Maybe it is a good place to drop by when you’re around! There’s a nearby pasar ikan for all your seafood needs, and i mean all , got shark, stingray etc.

The map ain’t that accurate, but its somewhere there lah! hahah

SOON LOK Charcoal Roasted duck restaurant

What is famous here:

1) Roasted chicken

2) Roasted duck

3) Roasted pork

Basically, everything that is roasted. :)

So if you like roasted stuffs, head to 1 of their branches then!

Both located in Puchong.

During my last visit there, I tried 2 of their roasted dishes.

1) The Roasted Chicken ( 烧鸡）

Price per person. RM４．

The meat is so so tender. I usually hate to eat so much chicken but the chicken here made me wanted more. :) Definitely a must try dish!

Simply tender and smooth!

8 Nuggets for this.

It is definitely reasonable.

2) The Roasted Pork (烧肉）

Price per person. RM ５.

Not much fat and the meat is so soft. Roasted to perfection!

You can feel the crisp when you chew it! :) Simply delicious~

8 Nuggets too for this.

It is quite reasonable.

To make the meal a balanced one, a plate of vegetable is vital.

I called the stir fried lettuce ( 油麦）

Nothing special about this vegetable, just like those normal ones you can find elsewhere.

It is just to balance up your meal!

Of course you need to eat the above dishes with this 2 important items to make your whole lunch/dinner perfect.

1)

The oil/plain rice.

2)

The typical chilli sauce for chicken rice!

With this two and those perfectly roasted dishes. Your meal is now perfect!

:P

Ohh ya, they serve a bowl of soup per person for FOC too!

Enjoy your visit!

XD

Restoran Sin Choy Lee

Holidays are here and TheNuggetScale has also sorta been taking a break over the weekends but now we are back and running. Today we are about to take you to a place that might be unfamiliar to most people living in the Selangor and KL area.

People say that we should not underestimate quiet and small towns cause what actual good can come out of them ? Well , we are taking you today to Raub, Pahang to the most famous Chinese restaurant there that is famous for hosting weddings and special events.

Here we go!

1. Stir-fried Sawi

As usual in a Chinese dinner, vegetables are the first dishes that come out.

Children usually do not like vegetables. However, for some reason, the children at my table totally loved this dish!

I would say that eventhough it is just vegetables, it was quite well cooked.

Therefore:

2. Bentong Famous Taufu

Bentong has a famous taufu factory that produces superior taufu. I got a chance to taste it in action at this place.

This is taufu fried with some vegetables. The taufu has a very nice bite to it and has a very good taste. Lives up to its famous name.

Well done!

3. “Kau Yuk” Stewed belly pork with yam

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It just keeps getting better. My favourite dish finally arrived at my table! It is belly pork that is stewed together with yam. The meat that they served here, looking at the pictures, you can see is not too fat, not too lean. Just nice! Lots of flavour as well.

The yam is soft and flaky. Very well cooked. It does not break into pieces when i poked it with my fork neither is it as hard as stone.

4. Stir Fried Brinjal with dried prawns

I never liked brinjals in my entire life. But this dish really tickled my tastebuds. The brinjal is not too soft nor too hard. Very flavourful and succulent.

5. Watercress Soup

It is made up of watercress vegetables plus also pork meat!

It has a very herbivorous taste. Even the pork tastes like vegetables.

It has a good strong flavour.

 

 

6. Steam Patin Fish.

Patin fish is a very expensive fish and said to be quite abundant in Pahang.

I really enjoyed eating the fish cause the meat is really smooth and succulent. Very good flavour as well. Not many bones too!

 

7. Steam Kampung Chicken with Wolfberries “Kei Zi”

This dish is steam chicken with soy sauce and Kei Zi.

The chicken that they used here is free range “Kampung Chicken”. Therefore, the meat has less fat and a nicer taste to it.

Cooked to perfection.

 

 

Want to know the price for all 8 dishes + free flow rice + tea? Get ready……………..

RM180!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its really true when they say that small doesn't always mean bad. This whole meal would have cost around RM200-300 in KL especially due to the Patin fish.

A very good place to enjoy good food without giving you white hair worrying about your finances ;)
