MUSTAFA JONES BURGER - WORTH A TRY!

The first time I heard about this joint was in Febuary 2013. I was flipping thru the Malay Mail and found an articel about this outlet.

 

So, I decided to find the place, situated at the new Taman Melawati shops.
You will find the place inside Restoran Kayu Manis.
The food:
Since Mustafa Jones is African- American, the cooking is very southern style. Smoked, BBQ, and grilled meat. I tried the BBQ Ribs. Tender, well done and the the smokiness in the sauce made it so special.

The burger was great. Juicy, freshness in the beef and you get a well done meat when you ask one.  EXCELLENT!

During fasting month of Ramadhan 2013, I visited his stall in Wangsa Melawati. The quality was maintained and you just love the burgers! Pricing of Mustafa Burgers are reasonable, comparable to those Burger Bakars!

The man himself: MUSTAFA JONES

RESTORAN HOI YIN - TELUK CEMPEDAK

I have been to Kuantan since 1991 but never had I stepped into this outlet. Then, I saw "Best In the World" ran a review on this restaurant.  I decided to visit the place on the 2nd day Hari Raya Aidil Fitri (9 August 2013).

Surprisingly, the shop was full. Even Malays are there despite having just celebrated Hari Raya a day before. Well, maybe some of us wanted to try something different.

 

Its a typical Chinese food stall. The stools and tables are from yesteryears. The place is so crowded that the owners had no time to entertain any customers. Just leave the food and clean the tables. Can't blame them.

I had Mee Kari. I was hoping that it would something out of this world. Unfortunately, I had my hopes too high. I had tasted better Chinese Mee Kari. Berjaya Restoran in Bangsar, Kedai Mee Goreng Tanglin or Gerai Ah Kow in Kampung Baru may serve different style of Mee Kari but all had their's uummpphhhh! Sorry, its just not there. The mee was overcooked, the curry was just too bland.

But, no harm trying. Maybe someone may find something different from the food in Kuantan

CUPCAKE CHAPTER

This outlet is among the latest western joints invading Hulu Kelang area. Its next to MRR2, opposite the the Zoo Negara.

Worth trying? Yes and No. Have been here few times and the services had spiral down very fast! Food remains good but when waiters keep missing your orders then there is something wrong with the management.

 

The prices here is expensive but the serving is large. Just 5 out of 10.

THAT LITTLE GERAI.... SIMPLY GREAT!

Yes, its a small little gerai in AU5 Keramat. Many will miss this outlet as its situated next to the community centre with so many other small gerais' near it.

I have dined here many times and I enjoyed my food there. There are not many tables, laid back and I believe the owners do not want to spend much moving into a cozier shop.The chef/cook did his time working in the United States.(can read about it later). The guys here know their food as they can explain the us whats in the menu.

The menu is extensive , mainly western in nature.

I have tried a few. Enjoyed the food! The food presentations are better than most restaurants!

    

The portions are Asian, just nice for our tummy! 

The ribs are great! Tender and juicy!.

 Try Puding Raja...much better than the ones from Pahang. 

Overall, the food is better than many established restaurants. I would recommend friends to dine here. Opens after Maghrib. 

GREAT WESTERN STREET FOOD

CHEAPEST MAMAK FOOD IN BANGSAR?

I was feeling cheap. I had to go to this stall. Just ask the guys who have been around for sometime(I mean old!!!). They'll tell you this, " gerai mamak bawah pokok ketapang kat Lucky Garden"

Open air, plastic tables and stools and a long long queue! If you are wearing your pressed Saville Row hand stitched shirt with your Italian designer silk tie, please don't come here! This is no bistro! Its real mamak stall.
I don't know how long have they been here but my guess it has gone through at least 3 economic crisis! The food is simple and the menu is always the same. Kari Kepala ikan, ayam goreng, ikan cincaru goreng, sotong goreng dan taugeh celup! I have eaten more than 100 times and it always been the same.
The great thing about the food:  its hot! Just out of the wok and there'll be everyone clamouring to get the best!

  
Since I had to feed my kids for lunch, I decided to tapau them! Its so cheap that my friends don't believe them! You can feed 6 people for less than RM20.00. Try getting that elsewhere!!!!

IKAN BAKAR - BELAKANG SURAU ISTANA NEGARA (LAMA)

TARIKH : 14 OKTOBER 2013
JAM : 12.20 pm.
sehari sebelum Hari Raya Aidil Adha

Disebabkan ramai yang bercuti, senang sahaja dapat tempat duduk. Tapi orang masih ramai lebih lebih lagi kakitangan kerajaan telah mendapat gaji.

Kena tunggu lama untuk mendapat lauk tapi, ianya berbaloi. Ikannya masih manis dan campuran rempahnya tidaklah terlalu"over".

Geari ni, selalunya penuh dengan orang berbanding dengan gera gerai lain. Apa yang saya dapati pekerja yang membakar ikan tidak "rushing" dalam membakar ikan. Pelbagai ikan ada, kembong, pari, keli, terubuk.  Sotong, kerang juga ada. Mulanya ikan terubuk yang kami order tak berapa masak, tak kami biarkannya balik di kuali bakar agar ianya betul betul masak. 

  

Pencicahnya memang sendap..No denying!!!!

 

Terdapat juga kerabu mangga dan juga sambal belacan untuk ulam..Memang masakannya lazat. 7/10...

 

Harga makanan amat berpatutan. BERBALOI !! WORTH TRYING!!!!

MEE KARI TANGLIN - MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE

My favourite Mee kari stall. I have eaten many but I still prefer this stall. The operators have been in Jalan Tanglin even before the complex was erected. Previously, it was situated in a bungalow house next to this complex with 2 other operators. The bungalow was demolished to make way for...don't know what!!!!!

I have been eating here since the early 1990s.

The mee kari is different from other mee karis' that I have eaten. Its broth is made from shrimp rather than chicken and the other ingredients are just fish cakes, cockles and taugeh. Just that and soooo nice!!!Try it...
