Tien Tien (Seafood Restaurant)

Been to Tien Tien a few times. Finally I managed to take some pic and post this up

Ambience : Comfortable, the only seafood restaurant that is quiet and look classy. (not many people at night)
Food Taste :7.5 / 10
Waiting Time : Fast
Price : reasonable for seafood in kk and for such environment

The dinner was not paid by us, therefore, I could not publish any price.

The tauhu was silky soft and I just love the mushroom. This is a must dish for me. Taste better than tauhu with meat.

The prawn were fresh and were at medium size. Nothing to shout about.

The vegetable tasted so so.

The fish was very good. Fresh, the steaming time was just nice. The soy sauce gravy was tasty.

This is super delicious. Herbal Chicken. The restaurant used kampung chicken I guess. The soup / gravy tasted so good that I could eat that with plain white rice. The chicken meat was tender and succulent.

I definitely coming back for more!

Patrick's Signature

We bought a groupon coupon which give discounted meal at Patrick's Signature. It seems to be a good deal according to my mom. We went there weeks ago (only now I have the chance to upload this, sorry for the delay).

First dish out was the salmon. It was sashimi kind, mixed with lemon or "kit chai", chillies and basil leave. It was very refreshing and tasty. This was a very very good dish. Next was the pork belly (it was stewed). It tasted just like a home cooked dish that my mom always made. however, the meat was quite fat to my liking. Another dish that was served was the snapper. I forgot the name of the dish however the gravy was very delicious and spicy. My brother like it though.

The vegetable that was served was the kailan with oyster sauce and there is nothing to shout about. Our Next favourite was the steamed chicken. It was very good. The meat was succulent. The timing of the steamed chicken was just right.

We shall be coming back for more. :)

Lido Food Court

I miss eating at Lido market so much. I heard there are a lot of new stalls being set up, thus, decided to eat there tonight. I saw the famous Sandakan UFO Tart. I bought a packet to try it out. It was slightly different from the normal tart. I dun really like it as it is very sweet, however, a good try though.

I also give a try on its dumpling and it is not bad. I still prefer the one in Damai
.

I saw a lot of people ordering the bak kut teh. Can't help myself ordering it. It was not as good as I expected. The peppery taste is not that strong.

The only food that will attract me back to Lido Market is the bbq Lamb. I got the rib part. The meat was moist and juicy. Even the gravy goes so well with the meat. I bought it again right after finishing the first purchase. It is the best ever Lamb!!!

Dinner at Din Tai Fung, The Gardens Mall

My Boss brought me to Din Tai Fung for a dinner. It was located at The Gardens Mall Mid Valley City, Kuala Lumpur. It is originated from Taiwan. When we reached, the place was nearly full. I saw that the tables are arranged close to each other maximising the space. The food looked delicious through the pictures with pricing that is reasonable according to the location of the shop.

Condiments

We ordered a cold dish, Shanghainese Drunken Chicken. This is cooked with Chinese wine, and the meat is tender. I even drink up the gravy. Way too good, definitely will recommend to others. We also ordered the prawn cake. I felt slightly oily after eating the whole lot, however, it is a delicious dish.

 

 

 

 Although only two of us, we decided to order more as the food look too tasty. We heard that this shop is famous for its dumpling, thus we ordered the basket of Xiao Long Bao. It is nothing to shout about as I tried a better one in Shanghai before.

The other dish that I recommend a must to try is the pumpkin cooked with salted egg yolk. Wow... it is so delicious that I stop talking just to enjoy this dish. The outer part is crispy and courted with salted egg yolk. Inner side which is pumpkin strip is soft and sweet.

I shall be visiting this shop everytime I go KL!!!!

Salmon Fish Head at EWest Cafe

A friend has been pestering us to try the Salmon Fish Head Noodle Soup in E-west. We decided to give it a try then. The service were quite fast and not long, we were served with the noodles. Seriously, YUMMY!!!
They served with at least 3 pieces of Salmon fish head which was deep fried. The broth was mix ginger, tomatoes, tauhu and generous amount of salted veggie (I specially requested for it). I definitely coming here for more.

 

We also ordered the garlic fried rice. This dish was good too. It was paired with deep fried chicken cutlet (cooked with tangy sauce), a sausage, an egg and cucumber. The rice was very fragrant and tasty. The rice textures was just right where it was not too soggy nor hard.

My brother ordered Thai Style Mango Fish. It was a set meal where it consists of the fish slices, long beans, rice, soup and coffee/tea. I do not know the taste, however, my brother loves this a lot.

GOOD ONE!!!!

Stuffed Egg Tofu

Mom bought 3 packs of Egg Tofu(Here, we called it Japanese Tauhu). We wanted to make the pan fried tofu but I got another idea, make "stuffed" tofu. However, due to its softness, we are unable to "stuffed" it, so it is being topped on the tofu.

some water
Garlic
2 Shiitake Mushroom
An inch of ginger.

1) minced the pork. I like to mince it using knife, to control the sizes of the meat.
2) minced the fish by mixing some salt n corn flour. This one I used my hand. After it is minced, I 'throw' the fish paste a few times into the bowl to make it springy.
3) minced both pork n fish using knife.
4) put it into a bowl and add in some salt, pepper, Chinese wine. Put into the fridge.
5) cut onion and deep fried it using low fire (keep the oil). Diced one mushroom and spring onion.
6) mix deep fried onion, mushroom, spring onion, egg and sesame oil to the meat mixture. Marinate it in the fridge for at least four hours.
7) After four hours, cute the tofu  to at least one to one n half inch in height. Arrange nicely on a steaming pan.
8) take out the meat from the fridge. Arrange the meat unto the tofu. I used tea spoons to scoop and arranged on the tofu.
9) steam them between 18 to 20 mins.
10)minced the garlic and ginger. sliced the mushroom. Prepare the sauce in a bowl by mixing hoisin sauce, soy sauce, wine, sesame oil. Add in water n check the taste. Put in more sauce if you think it is insufficient.
11) for the tofu and meat, throw out the water from the pan after steaming, be careful not to drop the tofu n meat.
12) Heat up the wok, using the onion oil, fried garlic, put in ginger after the garlic aroma is out. Then mushroom. Once the good aroma can be smelled, put in all the sauce. After a few stirs, put in some corn flour to thicken it.
13) after cooked, pour it unto the steamed tofu and meat. Served.
