I’m sure T.G.I Friday is no stranger to many of you. It’s famous for fresh food and mouthwatering American classics, from appetizers perfect for sharing, to memorable burgers and delicious desserts. Always wanted to try out this place in KL or in Penang but never got the chance.

Finally had the chance to dine in T.G.I Friday during my previous trip. Saw it at 1 Utama and decided to have dinner there.

Green Apple Slush(RM8.90), mixture of green apple and lemon-lime soda.

Texas Ribeye and Cajun Fried Shrimp(RM54.90), generous 10 oz. Australian chilled air flown grain-fed ribeye topped with a fresh spicy tomato pico de gallo paired with crispy Cajun fried shrimp served with BBQ sauce, Cheedar mashed potatoes and grilled corn on the cob.

The food portion was quite big. It’s better to share with a friend or two if you are an average or small eater.

Check out the official site of T.G.I Friday(http://www.fridays.com.my/)

Heard of Mr. Baoz! before? I got to know about it few years back but only had the opportunity to try it out during my previous trip to KL. Found the outlet at Food Republic, Pavilion. Immediately we bought some to try.

Since there was promotion that time and we bought the promo set, 4 baby Mr. Baoz for RM1.70/each. Original price was RM1.80/each.

Forgot what we had tried though, I might get the names wrong and the names are not in order:

We had BBQ Chicken(from Royal Delicacy series), Winter Romance(from Chocolate Serise), Chicken Sate Baoz(from Royal Delicacy series), and Snowflake Taro Baoz(from snowflake series).

Wonder will this franchise come to Kuching in near future. Do you think people here will accept it or not? A simple normal bao can also be so cute!

You can check out their website if you want to http://www.mrbaoz.com.my/

It was a crazy day, got lost in KL, too tired from walking around so simply settled our dinner at BB Plaza.

Some how when we tried to look for a decent eatery we couldn’t find it and got fed up. We saw BB Plaza Food Court after going down down down the building and we just settled for it. No more energy or mood anymore.

Couldn’t decided what to order, settled for fried rice.  I don’t remember what this is!

This is salted fish fried rice.

Total bill… RM10.80.

All I can say is our food court in Kuching is way better than this.

I know many Kuchingites are hoping that Burger King to come to Kuching but sadly they are not coming and I don’t think you will see Burger King here in Kuching any sooner.

My first encounter with Burger King was in Singapore and I had it almost everyday when I was there! Got hooked on it. The burgers were really nice. My second encounter with Burger King was in Genting Highlands, was thrilled when I saw that it’s there because it had been more than 5 years since my last feast at Burger King.

When we saw Burger King at KL Sentral, we were thrilled. Finally got to have it again. McD was packed to the max because of its value meals so for those who didn’t want to wait would go over to Burger King for their fast food fix. Burger King specialized in burgers rather than fried chicken, so this makes it different from McD or KFC.

Ordered 2 burgers(don’t remember what they were, it’s been 4 months ago) and a Whooper Jr. set(RM11.49) that came with a drink and fries.

Do you want Burger King to come here? Do you think it will affect other fast food outlets greatly if they do come? I guess it definitely will especially in the beginning of operation.

I’m sure Hot Pot a Genting Highlands is no stranger to those that had been there.

The big pot with fire woods and fire is the signature of the place. With the cook weather in Genting Highlands, having steamboat would be nice.

While we were there, we saw that they were having steamboat promotion(RM19.90++/pax), all you can eat and free flow tea. Not sure whether there’s still such offer now. This happened way back in January.

The seafood section. The choice was quite limited and the hot item in this section was the prawns.

The vegetables section.

Various sauces/condiments for you to choose.

Feast!

Going to share some eateries that I’ve been to during my KL and Genting trip few months back. Expect to see some eateries from out of Kuching.

Stayed at Theme Park Hotel, Genting Highlands and the room came with complimentary breakfast for 2. The breakfast was at Restoran Happy Valley Seafood. If I’m not mistaken, they are famous for their chili crab. Too bad we didn’t get the chance to dine there for dinner.

Just showing you some of the food available for the breakfast buffet.

There were quite a variety. If you prefer continental breakfast, you can get it here.

Even Chinese, Indian, and Malay style breakfast too.

Which one do you prefer?

The also have a variety of drinks for you to choose.

Go. Fun Kee Cafe is already operating for 6 years. Currently they have 6 outlets. There are 5 in Sarawak and the one in Taman Bukit Serdang is the 6th branch.

Go. Fun Kee recommended that you try only 2-4 types of food at a time, this will ensure that you get to taste the unique taste of the food and your taste buds won’t be overloaded by taste.

Let’s see their most ordered food in Kuching:

Dry Bak Kut Teh（招牌乾肉骨茶） - Pork ribs, 3-layer meat, lean meat, meatball, and lady’s fingers that are braised long enough to seal in the flavour. It’s great to pair it with rice.

Fu Zhou Chicken With Red Wine（福州红糟酒鸡） - Delicacy of the Foochow. It has distinct taste and fragrance. The chicken meat is cooked with Fu Zhou red wine lees. They only cook it when you order it.

Chicken Mushroom（蘑菇花雕鸡） - Most children will love this. The chicken meat is braised with Huadiao Wine.

Foo Chow Mee Sua（福州鸡汤面线） is one of their signature dishes. As the name suggested it, the ingredients for this dish are the famous mee sua by the Foochow and red or yellow Chinese wine for the broth.

Perserved Egg with Tau Fu（皮蛋冻豆腐）

Black Venegar Prok Leg（正宗猪脚醋）

Big/Small Bone（大骨／小骨）

Vegetable Claypot（蔬菜生褒）

Plum Cucumber Juice（冰镇酸梅青瓜汁） - Made from freshly blend cucumber and added with some plums for that special taste. It doesn’t only quench your thirst but also good for your health.

Black Crystal（黑砖奶茶） - This special milk tea is not only refreshing but also rich in flavour. If you like milk tea, you should try this out.

Three Colour Pudding（三色鲜奶布丁） - You can only find this in Go. Fun Kee. The bowl of pudding comes in a combination of 3 different pudding flavours. The pudding texture is smooth and soft. You can also opt for a single flavour. The flavours available are mango, honey dew, strawberry, yam, chocolate, and passion fruit.

2 Colour Shian Chao（招牌双色凉粉） - A combination of two different tastes of shian chao. Something special that you should try.

This is the last post of Singapore eateries that I’ve been to during my previous Singapore trip.

If you’re in Vivo City, Singapore, I’m sure you will not miss the food court, Food Republic.

The design of the place is very unique. It felt like as if you gone into a different era.

We’ll just let the photo do the talking.

As usual, we all know food court serves a variety of food. You can get that here for sure.

We managed to order some food for our dinner:

Fast food from the fast food stall. This plate of rice cost SGD4.70

It came with a bowl of seaweed soup.

Mixed meat claypot rice(SGD6.80) from Fortune Restaurant stall.

If you’re wondering, Food Republic at Pavilion, KL actually belongs to the same company(BreadTalk Group) that owns several Food Republic food courts in Singapore.

Kowloonn Food Express is one of the eateries you can find in Sentosa, Singapore. It’s located at near the Underwater World at Siloso.

We had our lunch here. Let’s see what we had:

Ordered Chicken Rice Set(SGD8), this stall is self-service.

Singapore Style Fried Bee Hoon(SGD6).

What you see here are just some of the food available. They have wide range food for your to choose. It was so packed when we were there since it’s lunch time.

This is the only eatery we had our meal at Sentosa. Would love to try out more places but time wasn’t at our side. Maybe next time.

Red House Seafood Restaurant is located a Robertson Quay, Singapore. This is one of them, another one located at East Coast Seafood Centre, Singapore.

Red House Seafood Restaurant at Robertson Quay has a cosmopolitan feel to the interior.

The modern interior designed by the acclaimed architects of GreenhilLi.

There’s a very huge ceiling fan called the ‘Big Ass’ fans measuring 7 metres in diameter. Not in the photo though.

Even the menu is red.

This peanut was given to us while we wait for our food. It’s not FOC. It’s charged along with the wet towel. It’s automatically charged to your bill so don’t be surprised about it.

We ordered Chinese tea to go with our dinner. The tea was free flow but I don’t have the price with me.

Let’s see what we had for our dinner:

Signature Creamy Custard Prawn(SGD7 for 100gm)

Braised Spinach Tofu & Honshimeji Mushroom topped with Crisp Conpoy (small, SGD14)

New Zealand Tender Venison on Sizzling Hot Plate(medium, SGD27)

Red House Mee Goreng(small, SGD12)

Braised Ee Fu Noodle with Assorted Mushroom and Chives(small, SGD10)

Sambal Kang Kong(small, SGD10)

Don’t you think the prices were a bit steep? It’s OK to indulge once in a while and the food were pretty good.
