Malaysians are getting more creative in terms of their food presentation. My Cookbook‘s food presentation is just so pretty. It is sad that I will have to “destroy” the chef’s effort in placing each and every dishes neatly and carefully on my plate in seconds. Turning through the pages of the menu is like looking through an art book. I do have some doubt as to whether they can recreate the look as represented in their menu. You know, the burgers at McDonald’s doesn’t look the same as represented in their menu. But when they brought my Barley Pandan Rice with Curry Chicken – RM15.90 to my table, my jaw dropped. Wow!

Then I have this thought – usually something that looks good doesn’t always taste good. Sorry for being negative but I was numerously disappointed everytime I see food that look so pretty. Well, My Cookbook did a pretty good job here. The curry was thick and rich with flavour, rice rolled into an “uncutted” sushi rolls, half an egg with it’s middle still watery and warm, delicious smash potatoes and a fully packed prawn wanton. It tastes amazingly good.

My Cookbook’s Chicken Rice is one of the best selling item on the menu. Priced at RM15.90, this plate of chicken rice comes with 3 neatly rolled ingredients. Yes, the 2 ingredients are rice rolls, chicken rolls and Japanese cucumber. This plate of chicken rice comes with a bowl of chicken soup.

I’ve got to say, not everything was good. I felt that the Mozarella Balls served in TGI Fridays are much better than the ones offerred here – RM8.90. It is not cheap either. Given the second chance, I won’t order this.

There are far too many steamboat restaurants around Kepong. Not that I am complaining, but we are afraid that we would be taken on a joy ride. One of our main concerns is the ingredients that they provide. If I am not mistaken, there are two steamboat restaurants who claims to stock up their seafood ingredients from Pulau Ketam aka Crab Island. One in Bandar Menjalara, and another one in Desa Park City. Which one is better? I don’t really know yet. (Maybe I’ll go to the one in Desa Park City someday, but definitely not for this coming few weeks because I am taking a short break on steamboat.)

We tried Ho Ho’s Steamboat Restaurant in Bandar Menjalara last week. They have a minimum order for their set meals – two sets. And a set is priced at RM15.50 each so if you are dining with another person, it is only RM31.00. No service charge or government charge.

Their set meal comes with two really fresh prawns, some slices of fish, yam, chinese cabbage, wanton, fish balls, dried rolled beancurd, siakap fish flesh, fish noodles, fish fillets, vegetable rolls, two chicken eggs, two quail eggs, yee mee and mee hoon.

You may add more ingredients if you needed more variety for your meal. Additional fish and meat slices costs RM6/RM12, vegetables-RM8, beancurd-RM6/RM12, prawns, depending on weight is about RM16 to RM40 and etc…
