Malaysia Food Blog - Apple Foodees

Everyone loves Haagen-Dazs. Out of curiosity I’ve decided to try their ice cream buffet. Every fondue comes with 4 mini scoops for each of their flavours; i.e. Belgian Chocolate, Strawberry, Cookies & Cream and Vanilla flavour.

Besides that, some fresh seasonal fruits like apple, strawberry and etc. were served alongside the ice cream fondue.

Pieces of chocolate chip cookies were served too. Just dip it into the melted chocolate and you will have chocolate chip cookies coated with chocolate. lol. Lots of chocolate!

After fasting the whole day, I am sure many of you out there will be looking for a place to break fast. This year, JW Marriott Hotel in Kuala Lumpur offers their Ramadhan Buffet 2009 with 108 different tradisional foods from Malaysia. It is only RM54++ per person. Well, after scouting around, JW Marriott Hotel Kuala Lumpur offers the cheapest Ramadhan Buffet I could find as compared to the other hotel buffets in Kuala Lumpur.

The first thing that caught our attention was their roasted lamb. The chef slices piece by piece while it was still being barbequed.

The meat was a little bit tough though but it was good overall.

Everyone is looking for an affordable and “worth-every-sen” buffet. But in Kuala Lumpur, almost every buffet cost a bomb. If you are looking for a Japanese buffet, I would strongly recommend you to try the Japanese buffet offered by Sango which is located on the 2nd floor of the Crystal Crown Hotel in Petaling Jaya. This is also a good option of a Japanese style of Ramadan Buffet which is cheap!

Previously, this place was ran by a Japanese. Hence, it became very popular for the Japanese visitors visiting Malaysia but not to our Malaysian. I’m sure many of you out there didn’t know about this place.

The food here was not laid out as seen in other buffets. All you need to do is to order from the menu and the chefs will head on and start preparing your orders on the spot. Their main specialty here is their Yakitori menu. All Yakitori here will be seasoned with sea salt and sometimes pepper.

Well, lets start of with the food. First to arrive was the Chicken Wings. First impression = ICHIBAN! Awesome! This yakitori is a must-order here.

They have some special type of yakitori here. This yakitori are garlics wrapped with chicken skins. I am not really a fan of this as the garlic smell was too strong.

They also have Soft Bones in their yakitori menu. Well, I do wonder how they extract the meat out from the soft bones. Hopefully not in a way that I am thinking of right now. lol.

I had seen this restaurant, Rajah Brooke Cafe being featured in the famous 8TV television programme Ho Chiak, so I decided to try the food out. As I had visited Sarawak just recently, my expectation for the 3-Layered Tea, Sarawak Laksa and the Sarawak Kolo Mee is very high. It will be desirable if they are able to bring the true authentic taste for both the Sarawak Laksa and Kolo Mee to the Peninsula of Malaysia.

Our drinks came first; 3-Layered Tea and 3-Layered Coffee. Both look great. Tea right on top, followed by milk and lastly gula melaka (if I am not wrong). I personally think that they did a better job than SS2 Murni Restaurant which I had blog just before this post. LOL. With regards to the taste, I feel that the milk was a little bit too much. Other than that, it was good.

Next, came our most awaited Sarawak Kolo Mee. First impression, it does not look the same, but it does taste the same. Sarawak Kolo Mee are mostly red in colour. Price for this Sarawak Kolo Mee with additional prawns is RM8.90.

Sarawak Laksa was served next. As they gave a lot of “kuah” we had to dig into the mee just to take some nice shots of the laksa. If you do not know already, Sarawak Laksa is entirely not the same with the laksa we have in Kuala Lumpur or Penang. Theirs looks more like our curry mee actually. However, they do taste different from our curry mee. This item is priced at RM8.90 too.

This is another angle of the Sarawak Laksa. If you notice, they do not use the same “white” mee and yes they do not have mint or sardines too.

If you fancy some food from the East of Malaysia, I do recommend you to try this restaurant out. According to the article from the newspaper they pasted in front of their restaurant, the owner is from the East of Malaysia. Well, I assume, he must be from Sarawak then.

The most important question of all. How to get there?

SS2 Murni Restaurant is one of the favourite hang out place for the University Malaya students. I often patronise this place during my university time a few years back as this is one of the most happening spot for uni students. The restaurant owner is a Bumiputra so don’t be surprise as he looks like a Chinese man.

They have a very extensive menu ranging from mamak style to western style. Some of their famous menus are their Roti Hawaii, Nasi Lemak, Claypot Lou Shu Fun, Seafood Spaghetti and many more. I guess this should be a great place for those who needs to break fast in the month of the coming Ramadan next week. Its cheaper than any hotel offering Buffet style of break fasting.

I gotta say that SS2 Murni’s Nasi Lemak is very worth ordering. Not only their portion is huge, the price is also considerably cheap. It is priced at RM6 per plate. Look at the generous portion of chicken they serve! You can either order with or without the chicken.

One of the thing that I notice here is that they are not petty in their ingredients. I had nine prawns, three scallops and some deep fried squids in my Seafood Spaghetti. For those who are not a fan of black pepper, I would strongly recommend you NOT to try this as they actually uses quite a lot of pepper. Those green ingredients you see are not green vegetables but “cili padi”. Hence this Seafood Spaghetti is in fact quite spicy. The Spaghetti was priced at RM10 per plate.

To quench our thirst, we ordered their “teh si peng”, a three layered drink famously known from Sarawak. The three layers are tea (finger pointing at tea), milk and followed by brown sugar. This drink is priced at RM2.50 per glass.

And lastly, how to get there?

(Look for a restaurant with lots of people especially when you are going there at night. The crowd does sometimes stretches from their shop to a few shops away. It is located just behind KFC.)
