Triple Decker Cheese Cake

I had a slice of Triple Decker Cheese Cake from Coffee Bean yesterday. One slice of it cost me RM 10.05 (included 6 % government tax). For those who are interested in getting the whole cake, one cake is RM 85.

Great!

The cake is super sinful as it is topped with crushed Oreo cookies and consisted of three layers of different cheese type, made up of cream cheese, mocha and oreo cheese. I get to taste 3 different flavors in one bite. The oreo taste in the oreo layer doesn't have storng oreo taste, just a hint of it. My favourite is the cream cheese layer as the cheese flavor is strong and rich. Not only the cheese layers are good but the crumb layer supporting the cake is also good with buttery taste. It is dense and moist. I think cheese cakes lovers out there will fall in love with this cake....yummy yummy......

Great!

The cake looks so tempting and appetizing........

Besides the cheesecake, I also had the above Esprit Raspberry sparkling water from Coffee Bean at RM 7.50. I quite like this carbonated refreshing drink because it is not really sweet and filled with raspberry and apple flavor. It tastes better when served cold. The drink is consisted of contains 5 % fruit juice from concentrates of raspberry (4 %) and apple juice (1 %). Other ingredients in this drink included carbonated water, sugar, citric acid, natural flavors, natural color and preservatives. This bottle of drink is actually made in Australia by Bickford's Australia PTY LTD.

Double boiled papaya with snow fungus@ Tong Pak Fu

Just like Hui Lau Shan, Tong Pak Fu is another popular dessert store from Hong Kong which have opened a few outlets in Malaysia. Two days ago, I tried their one of their hot dessert, double boiled papaya with snow fungus (RM 8.80, after 11% tax was RM 9.75) in the Mid Valley outlet.

The double boiled papaya with snow fungus tong sui came with two big cubes of papya, some red dates and of course plenty of snow fungus (crunchy when chewed). The taste of the tong sui was pretty good. Not too sweet, just nice for my liking. I also like the soft texture of the papaya after being boiled.

According to them, this dessert has many health benefits. The snow fungua is rich in protein and gelatin which can improve blood circulation, increase metabolism, whiten and moisturise the skin. Papaya too has many health benefits as it is rich in Vitamin C which can help in boosting the body's immune system.

For your information, Tong Pak Fu currently is having their today's special promotion. On different days, there is one type of shaved ice dessert available at RM 5 instead of RM 7.80. Monday = milk snow ice, Tuesday = ginger snow ice, Wednesday = coffee snow ice, Thursday = horlick snow ice and Friday = soya snow ice. Probably I'll drop by next time for their shaved ice dessert.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. is a restaurant inspired by the movie Forest Gump. The first restaurant was opened in 1996 on Cannery Row in Monterey, California. And now, they have many outlets in the US as well as internationally. In Malaysia, they have outlets in The Curve, Sunway Pyramid and Citta Mall in Ara Damansara. Their signature dishes mainly consisted of shrimps as their main ingredients such as Cajun Shrimp and Shrimper's Net Catch.

One of my friends, Elaine ordered the following fish and chips as her dinner meal. And of course I steal some of the fish and chips from her to taste...hehe..........

Captain's Fish and Chips (RM 25.90)

Three big pieces of fish were battered and deep fried till golden brown. The fish were pretty good because the fish's outside were really crispy and the fish meat was fresh without the fishy taste. Aside from the fish, many fries and a small bowl of salad were given. A small bowl of dipping sauce (mayonnaise/tartar) were also included. They should give more of the sauce because the amount is too little, not enough to dip with everything. The fries were also quite good because they remained crispy and not soggy even after cooled down.

Mango & Curry Meal @ Hui Lau Shan

I finally managed to try out Hui Lau Shan's famous mango desserts in their Pavilion outlet on Monday with Ester during our lunch break. After browsing thru the menu of Hui Lau Shan, Ester and I only managed to find one non-dessert dish which is the following Signature Curry Combo set. Thus, we ordered it because we scared we won't be full by just eating desserts for lunch.

Signature Curry Combo set (RM 7.90)

The ingredients in this curry combo are cuttlefish, tofu pok and fishballs. They are not stingy in giving the ingredients as the ingredients given were quite many. I find it rather interesting because instead of potatoes, they used white radish. I actually prefer white radish more than potatoes because the radish is sweet and able to absorb the curry more. And, it is healthier too as the carb amount is lower in radish than in potatoes. The curry gravy is not bad too. It is not oily and not spicy at all and is rich in flavour. I think they put in a lot of coconut milk to cook the curry.


And now to the desserts:

I chose Hui Lau Shan's Mango Romance set which consisted of three types of mango desserts. This is a good way to taste more variety of desserts without needing to order separate individual desserts. The set consisted of mango mochi, mango icy crystal icy jelly and lastly, mango pieces and glutinous rice ball.

Mango Romance (RM 12.90)


The mango mochi is accompanied with a few slices of mango and was coated with coconut shreds. The mochi skin is made of mango and mango flesh were inside of the mochi. I don't really like the mochi because the skin is quite sticky and the coated with too much coconut shreds. This makes the mochi covered with coconut taste instead of mango.


Next, the mango icy crystal jelly consisted of one scoop of mango ice cream, mango flesh and jelly underneath of the ice cream. The ice cream taste not bad but make sure you eat it when it is still frozen to have the best of it. The jelly is actually tasteless, therefore, eat it with the mango to have some taste.


Lastly, the mango pieces and glutinous rice ball is my favourite. The ingredients were served in a bowl containing mango puree/juice. The mango is sweet and I loved the think puree. The chewy glutionous rice balls are also nice to eat with the mango.

The following is Ester's Mango Feast dessert:

Mango Feast (RM 12.90)

The mango feast set consisted of three different types of desserts.

One of the dessert in the set is the mango ice cream cookie cake....

The ice cream is really hard when it arrived at our table. Very hard to eat it, thus we wait for a while for it to defrost. Actually the hard part is the mango. Quite tasteless actually.

 

Next up is a dessert consisted of mango puree, mango cubes and glutinous rice balls. This mango dessert can also be found in the mango romance set (another set of dessert consisting 3 different desserts). I like the soft and chewy texture of the glutinous balls very much. The combination of the 3 ingredients blended very well when eaten in one bite.

Lastly is the mango icy coconut noodle. This dessert consisted of mango cubes, fresh coconut slices and a scoop of mango ice cream. I liked the coconut slices as it is very refreshing to eat together with the tasty mango ice cream. Very nice combination.

Total damage including 16% tax = RM 39.10

Steam Fish Head @ Fatty Frog Porridge Restaurant Ninety Nine

Fatty Frog is a stall at Restaurant Ninety Nine in Taman OUG which sells a variety of porridge, steamed fish head, kung pou frog leg and meat. Among the types of porridge being sold are the Fish Porridge With Century Egg, Century Egg With Pork Porridge, Frog Meat Porridge and mussel porridge. If I am not wrong, the price of the porridge starts from RM 7. Mum and I ordered their chopped garlic and ginger steamed fish head. The fish is of "Soong" fish type. Oh ya, please go there early if you don't want to wait for table because there were already many people over there even as early as 5.30pm.

Great!

Chopped garlic and ginger steamed fish head (RM 24)
Although we ordered a small portion of the fish head, but the fish head arrived is actually quite huge. We had a hard time finishing up the fish head. But we enjoyed the dish very much as the fish was fresh and the flesh was smooth and sweet because the fish was steamed just right, not over steamed. I especially love the flesh of the cheek. It is the best part of the fish. Luckily, the fish doesn't have the fishy or mud taste. I like the accompanying chopped garlic and ginger which gives the fish slightly spicy in taste but it does get spicier with each bite. The gravy is also quite good, not really salty. In my opinion, the fish is charged at a reasonable price because the fish head is actually quite big.

Whole Pork Bone Steamboat @ Coco Steamboat

Coco Steamboat just opened its' branch in Old Klang Road on 23rd July 2012. Its' main branch is located along a row of office shop-lots in Taman Bukit Hijau (nearby Taynton View). The environment of the restaurant is not bad. There is a mini pond and fountain with beautiful big Japanese carp fishes in it. The choices of soup base available there include their signature whole pork bone base (have to add additional RM 17.90), clear soup base and porridge base (only available on weekends). Though pricey, mum and I decided to try their whole pork base steamboat. Yeah, mum was nagging about the price throughout the meal but I enjoyed the steamboat very much.

The big clay pot is used in keeping the whole bone pork steamboat......

Chilli sauce......I don't really liked it because it is too spicy.

Ingredients for one steamboat set (RM 15.80/pax)

I didn't manage to capture all ingredients because mum already throw in some of the ingredients into the pot. Some of the ingredients include vegetables, tofu, fish balls, fish noodles, fish slice, a prawn, dumpling and crabstick.

Yee Mee and Egg for the steamboat

Great!

We ordered an additional plate of mushroom meat balls (RM 8.90).

I quite like the meat balls. There were chuncks of mushrooms mixed with the meat of the meatball. Besides, the meat balls were also very fragrant.......yummy yummy.........

Great!

We also ordered a plate of sliced pork (RM 11.90).

The slice pork were thinly sliced, making them to cook very fast. Each slice of the pork has an oil attached to them, which I don't really fancy. But the meat part is good. Very tender. Just remember don't overcooked them or the meat will become tough to eat. Probably just cooked them in the boiling soup for about 30 seconds and they are ready to be eaten.

Great!

They actually used a big sized pork bone to brew the soup. Can you see the bone in the middle? Mum and I ate the meat attached to the bone and we found that the bone might be off roasted pork because it has some roasted flavor in it......Other ingredients used in brewing the soup include black pepper, chilli, yam and milk. The chilli and black pepper in it makes the soup slightly hot but at an acceptable level. I love the idea of adding milk in it making the soup creamier and tastier. Just like other normal steamboats, the soup gets better after cooking all the ingredients in it. I had 3 bowls of the soup to satisfy my cravings for steamboat soup...The refill for the soup is free....thumbs up...hehe

The total damage for the meal including 2 plain water (RM 1.60) = RM 56.10

Chicken & Char Siew Rice

The following is my mum's lunch. She had the steamed chicken and char siew rice set from the BBQ chicken rice stall in DDP Food Court. The rice set is only RM 6.00. Super cheap because she ordered an additional small rice. I think the operator forget to charge her for the small rice. Good for us because we managed to save $$$$....haha...

One big rice + One small rice + One free clear soup

The soup is clear and tasty to drink; added some parsley into it to make it more fragrant...........

Steamed chicken + BBQ pork aka Char Siew

The steamed chicken is very smooth and the sauce accompanying the chicken is quite tasty. Nice to eat it with rice. But I don't really like the Char Siew because there is a layer of oil accompanying each slice of Char Siew. Too fattening for me. But the Char Siew taste not bad because it was marinated and BBQued nicely to make it more fragrant.
