Malaysia Food Blog – Apple Foodees

I was having my exam last month and like everyone else, I didn’t have the mood to eat. All I can think of is to get my stomach filled and to continue studying until the day of my exam. But VK told me that if I want to do well in my exams, one of the most important thing I have to do is to make my stomach happy. “What will make your stomach happy if not for good food”, he says. And so, very reluctantly, I grab my gears and we head on to Thai Garden Village.

As it was the first time we were at Thai Garden Village, we ordered their restaurant favourites – steamed lala. The lalas were imported from the Phillipines, and I got to say that this is the best steamed lala I’ve ever tasted. It was really fresh and tasty. Thai Garden Village is very generous with their ingredients, look at the amount of garlics and gingers on our lalas.

Claypot Crab with Vermicille is one their recommended dish too. The crab is so huge that it was crammed to fit the claypot. This is the biggest crab that I’ve eaten. It was really meaty. The only down side to this dish is that the vermicille was a little bit too salty towards the end.

Kang Kung belacan – one of the best that I’ve ever had.

Barbeque Squid was a little bit rubbery. I didn’t really like it because it attracts a lot of flies to our table.

I’ve no idea why it took me so long to visit Silver Spoon Trattoria. Probably its because there were far too many food bloggers who had blogged for Silver Spoon. As most of them were being invited for reviews, this had made me skeptical whether or not to trust their reviews as being honestly written or not. To prevent myself from jumping to conclusion, I decided to try their set lunch first.

Each set comes with a starter, a main meal and dessert. Drinks were not included in the set meals. For starters we ordered the Stuffed Mushrooms and the Crumbed Calamari. Look at these entrees, ain’t it beautiful? I’ve got to give the credit to the chef who made the entrees. They look stunning. Taste wise however was okay -nothing surprising.

The same goes with the Crumbed Calamari. Some other entrees that you may order are their Tomato Bruschetta and the soup of the day.

As for the main meal, I ordered the Fish (Dory Fillet) and Chips. The fish was fresh and it tastes really good. Enough seasoning and it was not oily at all. The only problem with this meal were the fries. I don’t normally waste my food, but the fries was so bad that I ended up throwing a quarter of it away.

The Hawaiian Pizza that VK ordered fare much better than my fish and chips. This 6-inch pizza is not only thin and crispy, but it was prepared with reasonable amount of toppings.

For dessert, I ordered their Banana Crepes. The crepes goes really well with the ice-cream as the crepes was a little bit bitter. I guest they added a little bit of alcohol in it, hence the bitter taste.

Ampang is famous for its Yong Tau Foo (YTF). There are so many YTF restaurants around and some of them are Foong Foong Yong Tau Foo, Restaurant Orchard View Yong Tau Foo and Ampang Homeland Yong Tau Foo. According to a friend of my sister, YY who is a local here, the best YTF restaurant is Foong Foong’s. Relying on this, we drove ourself to Ampang to try out the YTF there.

The restaurant is not visible from the main road, so if you are not a local here, you may have a bit of trouble finding this place. Fortunately, I have a GPS to guide myself here. I have no trouble looking for this place. “PS: GPS is a good investment, do get one if you are adventurest person”.

My favourite would be the stuffed brinjals despite it being oily and white tau foo. The size of the white tau foo is considerably small compared to usual ones I had in Kepong.

As there were only four of us, we ordered 20 random pieces of YTF. Here, each piece are priced at RM0.90. After doing some diggings around, I found out that each piece were priced at RM0.60, 5 years back. The price are more expensive now. It was so much cheaper back then.

I didn’t know about Klasik Satay until recently, a reader suggested me to try out their satays. He claims that Klasik Satay is so good that many influential people actually travels all the way here to have their satays. Curious to know more about this satay stall, we went there one weekend to try them out. And to my surprise, my reader was actually right. I find that Klasik Satay could be only one which serves best satays in the Klang Valley. Much better than the famous Kajang satay, Hj. Samuri.

The first obvious reason why I say they are one of the best is because of the smell of the satay when it was served. We were told by the cook himself that their satays are made in the original way. He claims that most satay stalls actually skips this one crucial ingredient in preparing satay. The secret ingredient in preparing really good satays is the oily baste. I don’t know what is this oily baste, but I can tell you, it really makes a lot of difference.

I have always prefered chicken satays compared to beef satays. But this time, the beef satays got my attention. It was so tender and flavourful. Chicken satays on the other hand was slightly tough.
