Kenny Rogers (Groupon) at One Borneo

My brother bought 2 coupons from Groupon on Kenny Rogers's offer. It is only available in One Borneo, so we headed there during the holidays for a dinner.

Ambience : hectic and noisy (they don't seem to have enough staffs during that night)
Food Taste : so so (muffin were good, Mac and cheese was bad) 6/10
Price : cheap as we bought from Groupon (RM 88 for 4 ppl)
Waiting time : fast

We ordered our muffin, five type of flavours, banana, vanilla, mocha, pandan and orange. They were good, very aromatic, slightly crunchy on the top and moist inside. You can taste the exact flavour at every bite of the muffin, in which,the flavour getting stronger towards the bottom of the muffin.

Next, we were served with mushroom soup. To me, It tasted better than Pizza Hut as it was thicker, creamier and I can still bite some big mushroom. The presentation of the soup was also way better. We had eight bowls of it as we were using 2 coupons at one go.

I guess the restaurant having limited staffs as our drink came only after the soup and so as the utensil.

We were then served with two birds with two kind of gravy that we requested, black pepper and mushroom sauce. The sauce was a good compliment to the chicken which to me, not so juicy. I love mushroom sauce, I got a few pieces of mushroom here n there :)

They continue to serve us our dishes which my brother had paid earlier. Came were the sausages and fish balls (2 bowls each) and our side dishes. The cocktail sausages were mixed with tomato paste, while the not so springy ball, tasted good when I mix it with my mushroom sauce (they were mixed with tomato paste too but not as much as the sausages.)

We ordered 3 bowls of rice, at first my brother though it was a small size. It came out to be a medium size,way too much for us. However, the fragrant rice were delicious. Tasted like the chicken rice, very butter-ry too. 

We also had two bowls of coleslaw. It was quite creamy n and slight sweetness in the sauce. I preferred this coleslaw compared to KFC. I could chew the creamy crunchy cabbages.
 

We ordered corn and carrot for my dad. He loves it as it was not a heavy dish. Next came our two bowls of macaroni and cheese. Was a Big Dissappointment. Years ago, Kenny's Roger served one of the best Mac and cheese. However, this time round, it was tasteless. To me, the cheese seems to be mixed with too much water. No butter taste. One bite, turn all of us off. We decided to take away the dish and add more cheese into it.

We end our meals with 8 bowls of ice creams. They gave us only vanilla flavour. The ice cream were too sweet, anyway, we were too full to enjoy the dessert.

Overall, it was a good meal. Will come back for more but definitely not the Mac and cheese.

Soy, Honey and Ginger Roast Chicken

Today's cooking shall be Soy, Honey and Ginger Roast Chicken. I love to use thigh and drumstick. The recipe shall be:-

Ingrediants:-
1/3 cup soy sauce (I used light soy sauce)
1/4 cup honey (I used the local Sabah honey)
3cm  piece fresh ginger, peeled, finely grated (however, I used 6 tablespoons of ginger juice)
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (I used 2 teaspoons; one during marinate, one during roasting session)
4 pieces of chicken maryland pieces (thigh and drumstick)

Combine all the soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, sesame seeds (only one teaspoon) in a bowl.

Add in chicken and coat it with the above sauce. I refrigerate it for 6 hours. During the marinate session, turn and massage the chicken at every 3 hours.

Preheat oven to 180 degree. Bake the chicken for 50 min / until chicken is cooked or turned golden. Turn the chicken at every 15 minutes during the roasting session and brush the marinate sauce over it.

Ensure that the last 15 minutes or so, the skin is side up so that it will be crispy and spread some sesame seed on top of it.

YUMMY!!!

Do enjoy the food!
