Ninja Meal @ Ninja Joe Tropicana City Mall

Ninja Joe (founded in 1999) is a fast food chain which specialises in pork burgers according to the Japanese concept. Currently, they have outlets in The Gardens Mall (Mid Valley), 1 Utama Shopping Mall, Sunway Pyramid (Next to TGIF), Setia City Mall and Tropicana City Mall. I got the following from their Tropicana outlet to eat as my supper:

Cute little container to fill up the Shuriken (RM 4.90)
Food Photo
The Shuriken is 4 sided star shaped resembling the little weapon used by ninjas. A total of 5 pieces of Shuriken were given, about RM 1 each piece.
Food Photo
Shuriken is actually pork nuggets with mashed potatoes. Basically, the nugget consisted very little pork meat as it is mainly made of potato and tasted more like french fries. It is best to eat it while it is hot because after leaving it cold, the batter will be soften, not crispy anymore.

I also had their Super Ninja Burger (RM 6.90)
The Super Ninja has a piece of grilled pork patty, a fried egg, cheese, lettuce and tomato slice in between 2 pieces of buns.

GoodGreat!
Patrons are given a choice of 6 different flavors to choose from: Original, Oriental, Sweet & Sour, Teriyaki, Black Pepper and Spicy. I tried the burger with black pepper sauce. The black pepper sauce is just slightly spicy, just right for my liking.

Just as the name suggest, Just Pie is a place which sells a variety of pies. Among the pies available are Chicken Slice 'N' Mash, Chicken 'N' Mushroom, Black Pepper Chicken, Beef Steak 'N' Cheese, Lamb Parmesan and Curry Lamb pie. Previously, I have tried their lamb parmesan pie which is quite good. The meat was juicy covered in parmesan cheese.

As for this round, I tried their Chicken Cheddar Cheese pie at RM 7.00 per piece.

Beautifully baked chicken pie....

The inside of the pie which is filled with loads of chicken meat cubes and cheddar cheese. Although the chicken meat taste good, but it is not cheesy as there isn't much cheese in it. Would be better if they have added in more cheese. Having said that, the pie's pastry skin is quite tasty with a slight sweet taste. But I find the skin is too thick.

The sweetness from the chocolate cream manage to cover the slight sour taste of the strawberry. Overall, I quite like this dessert as the sweet taste is not too strong.

Bourbon dishes @ Bubba Gump The Curve

Food Photo
Run Forest Run, sounds familiar? Yes, Bubba Gump is a restaurant inspired by the movie Forest Gump which has that famous line in it. Both Gene and I ordered two different types of Bourbon sauce dishes. I had the Bourbon Street Barramundi which was highly recommended by the waitress, while Gene had the Bourbon Street Chicken.

Bourbon Street Baramundi (RM 29.90)
Bourbon Street Baramundi is actually a dish consisted of two big piece of charbroiled Cajun-spiced fish with Bourbon Street Sauce served over mash potatoes. Luckily, the grilled fish doens't have fishy taste. Besides, there were also lots of fresh peeled prawns and crispy tortilla chip strips being given. The mashed potato taste good when eaten with the sauce because it absorbed the rich and creamy Bourbon street sauce. A very satisfying and comforting dish. For those who are watching his/her weight, skip this dish as it is quite fattening...hehe.......

Bourbon Street Chicken
The ingredients found in Bourbon Street Chicken is exactly the same with Boubon Street Baramundi, except for the fish being substituted with grilled chicken. The chicken is tender with a slightly grilled aroma.

Marinated Chicken Feet @ Big Mouth Bak Kut Teh Old Klang Road

Besides selling Bak Kut Teh, Big Mouth in Old Klang Road also sells other dishes such as steamed fish head, pork knuckle in vinegar, claypot chicken and steamed eggs. I found one interesting dish in the menu which is the marinated chicken feet. Thus, mum and I ordered a serving of the chicken feet (served in a claypot to make sure the food is kept warm longer) and was charged RM 8.
Food Photo
Good
There were a total of 7 pieces of chicken feet being given. I managed to satisfy my craving for chicken feet because out of the seven, I had four pieces....hehe.....The chicken feet were marinated and cooked nicely as the chicken feet's flesh came off easily from the bone and was soft to eat. Just the way I liked chicken feet. I think the chicken feet must have being cooked for quite sometime in the gravy as the gelatinous part has seeped into the gravy, making it thick and gooey. Although the gravy and chicken feet were on the salty side, I still liked them when eaten together with plain rice. Besides, celery were added on top of the chicken feet to make the dish more fragrant....thumbs up.....

Big Mouth Claypot Bak Kut Teh @ Old Klang Road

Big Mouth Bak Kut Teh at Jalan Klang Lama, next to the post office is actually a branch of the original/main branch located at Jalan Tun HS Lee in Chinatown. The main branch has been operating since 1988. While the Jalan Klang Lama Branch has just begun operating this year. Few days ago, mum and I tried their Bak Kut Teh at their Jalan Klang Lama branch.
Food Photo
GoodGreat!
We ordered a serving of claypot bak kut teh with a price of RM 11. Instead of claypot, one can also opt for bowl bak kut teh with a price of RM 9 per bowl.
Food Photo
GoodGreat!
I think at just RM 11, the price is quite affordable because there were lots of ingredients being given. The ingredients found in this claypot include button mushrooms, golden-needle mushrooms, Chinese white cabbage and dried beancurd sheets. As for the pig parts, the ingredients are pork ribs, slices of pig's stomach and fatty pork belly. The soup was tasty but without much herbal taste. I prefer soup with stronger herbal taste. Nevertheless, the soup is still good to eat with rice.
Food Photo
GoodGreat!
Soft ribs.....the meat came off easily from the soft bone of the ribs....very tender, no need to use force to get the meat out off the bone.......
Food Photo
GoodGreat!
The very fatty part of the pig near the pig's leg...Though fattening, I can't resist from eating this tender part of the pig. The fat layer melts in my mouth....yummy yummy.........
