La Risata Bar Pizzeria Ristorante @ Medan Damansara

Hubby & Bro celebrated me birthday at La Risata, an Italian restaurant, last week. I've not been to the restaurant for almost 2 years. It's changed so much. From a single shoplot now they expanded to 2 shoplots. The feeling is still the same. Cozy, homey feeling. But I find it a bit dim compared to before. Most of the staff there were still the same and friendly. Speaking of friendliness, the mosquitos there were extremely friendly with me that night :p As I was enjoying my meal, they were enjoying my legs :p LOL...




Warm bread is served with tapenade.


Carpaccio di Manzo


Gnocchi ai Peperonchini Grillia e Chorizo


Pizza Quatrro Formaggi


Pizza Chorizo


Chocolate Fudge from BreadStory
Nothing much to comment on La Risata except it always make me feel at home. And the food... what can I say. So far it hasn't disappoint me yet :)

Bei King Restaurant @ Sitiawan Part 2

After the disappointing lunch at Restoran Tien & Tien last month, we decided to go back to our regular join Bei King Restaurant to have lunch over the weekends. It was Dad's treat :)


Tofu Soup

Verdicts:

• Was disappointed with the soup as the taste was not the usual traditional Foochow Tofu Soup tasting.
• Was a wee bit salty for everyone's liking.

Stir Fried Dou Miew

Verdicts:

• It has the "wok hei" in this stir fried.
• Simple yet delicious.

Sweet & Sour Fish Fillet

Verdicts:

• Don't know why these days they put in the french fries in this dish. I preferred the one without french fries. It sorta killed the taste a little. French fries just has to go on it's own with a dash of salt as snack NOT cook in/with other dishes.
• Other than the french fries, the fish fillet was juicy.

Oyster Omelet

Verdicts:

• It has lots of small to medium size oysters. In each bite, you get oysters.
• It wasn't fluffy. You get the taste of the egg with scallion.

Mom's recommendation : Prawns wrap in Beancurd Sheet Roll

Verdicts:

• Yummilicious!
• Prawns were fresh and succulent.
• Rolls were fried just nicely - crispy on the outside and juicy sweet in the inside.
• The chili sauce adds a little punch to it.

Total bill came up to RM61.00 for 4 pax with a pot of chrysanthemum tea (free refill).

Medan Ikan Bakar Teluk Muroh @ Lumut

Midnight supper.




Ikan Bakar Pari

Verdicts:

• Typical home BBQ squid. Marinate only with salt.
• Marinated with only salt.
• Sambal was exceptionally spicy. It has belacan, chili padi and tamarin. However, the sambal tasted a bit of overstuffed refrigerator.

Sotong Bakar

Verdicts:

• The inner was not thoroughly cleaned.
• Typical home BBQ squid. Marinate only with salt.
• Chili sauce was not a good combination to go with the squid.

Total cost us RM20.00 for 2 person. We had 500gm Pari, 100gm Sotong, 2 Teh O Ais Limau.

Breakfast @ Kg. Sitiawan

Was back in Sitiawan over the weekends. Decided to explore new place to have our breakfast. We've seen this hut along Jalan Besar, Kg. Sitiawan a few times but never did give it a try until now.

This little hut is always crowded during the breakfast rush. Cars will be parking along the road.



The back portion of the hut is facing a river.


See the amount of roti canai? First thing the patrons order is the roti canai, next nasi lemak.


Variety kuih-muih, nasi lemak, mee goreng and bihun goreng.


Nasi Lemak Ikan (see the tiny piece of fish?)

Verdicts:

• Rice has very little santan fragrantness.
• Sambal was spicy and has a tinge of sweetness to it.
• Very basic nasi lemak like I used to have in school days.

Roti Canai comes with only single type of gravy

Verdicts:

• Roti canai buttery tasting.
• Doesn't have the typical Indian-style roti canai texture.
• Comes with only single curry gravy.

Cost us RM5.90. We had 1 Teh O Ais, 1 Kopi Ais, 2 Roti Canai and 2 Nasi Lemak Ikan.

Prosperity Burger @ McDonald

Once a year burger. However, the size seems getting smaller each year. How to be prosperous lah...???
