Q Wok Nyonya Curry House @ Taman Bayu Mutiara, BM
Jul 14th
A recent visit to Q Wok Nyonya Curry House at Taman Bayu Mutiara near Autocity had us delighted over the good and affordable home cooked traditional Nyona dishes. Most of the dishes have three sizes from small to medium to large and the pricing is justified for the clean environment as well as an efficient service (no service charge here!).
Kapitan Chicken (whole leg portion) @ RM7.50 was meaty and tender. Liberal use of coconut milk, belacan and lemongrass made the gravy really thick and flavorful.
One of my personal favorite – Curry Lamb @ RM7 for a small portion. Depending on your luck, you may get either meat or ribs. I guess we were lucky that day as we got two strips of lamb ribs. And better still, they were the soft ones, which you can easily suck out the juicy, tender meat attached. Tasted a little gamey just like it should, delicious.
If you’re having rice then Q Wok’s Sambal Udang (S) @ RM10 is very recommended for its appetizing flavor – the gravy goes very well with rice! I have to admit I was disappointed when the prawns arrived looking miserably small and different from what was shown in the menu. But then we were satisfied with the freshness and taste.
Ngor Hiang, or what we usually refer to as Loh Bak in terms of hawker food was a fair affair. Two rolls cut into eight pieces @ RM3 only.
Banana Leaf Rice @ Restoran Kanna Curry House, PJ Sec 17
Mar 1st
Kanna Curry House at PJ Section 17 is one of the famous Indian restaurants to go for Banana Leaf Rice. I was introduced to Kanna by a close friend of mine who rates it as one of his favorite places to go for Banana Leaf Rice. And I trusted him because we share a similar opinion when it comes to food.
The restaurant is huge, occupying two shop lots and you can also opt to sit at the outdoor area that is nicely shaded with mature trees. Trays of marinated seafood is the first thing that greet customers who enter Kanna Curry House.
The marinated seafood is freshly prepared upon order by deep frying them. The fragrance emitted when the seafood was deep fried was really alluring and we couldn’t resist ordering a portion of squid.
Pasta Zanmai @ 1 Utama – Great Unagi set meal
Mar 7th
Many moons ago, while doing some window shopping at 1 Utama, we walked past a very nice looking Japanese restaurant called Pasta Zanmai. It was certainly new to me at that time because I was hiatus from KL for a very long time. Looking at the menu alone was enough to convince me to try, for the wide selection of Japanese food Pasta Zanmai had to offer looked amazingly delectable.
While we thought Japanese pasta should be Pasta Zanmai’s main attraction, we didn’t order any. SL had the Unagi Kabayaki set meal @ RM20, which was Roasted Eel with Kabayaki Sauce served with rice, salad and miso soup. One of the reasons we ordered this was because the huge amount of Unagi displayed in the menu, it seemed like a very good deal. Besides, Unagi is one of my favorite in Japanese food!
The generous amount of delicious Unagi, packed with full of flavor. Because the portion was big, we could afford to have big mouthfuls of Unagi instead of small bites. The satisfaction was simply indescribable!
