Tanjung Bungah at SS2
Ok, ok. I know. We've done a review on a curry fish head restaurant (Assam Fish Head at Long Khee) in Subang not too long ago. But the reason for this review was more because of the coffee spareribs. Initially when I heard Marianne mentioned about their coffee spareribs I was like "Wah seh, sounds like a very exotic dish hor. Never heard before leh." And later I found out from friends that this dish is not that uncommon. Thus I suddenly felt like I'm so 'sua ku'.
Assam Fish Head at Long Khee
After spending half a day working on C&P *pat on back*, we headed to a nearby restaurant in the vicinity of Subang Jaya for a well deserved dinner. This restaurant suggested by Chloe, specialises in assam fish head as evident by the picture of a fish head nestled snugly in a sea of reddish gravy in a claypot on its signboard (do they have a standard signboard for all restaurants that serve assam/curry fish head??).
We reached there a little after 7 and it was already quite packed with families having their Sunday night dinner. Although there were several other restaurants along the same row also packed with patrons, finding a parking space was a breeze.
Chicken Rice Balls in Malacca
Besides the famous ruins of what is remained of the A'Famosa Fort, Malacca is also famous for its chicken rice balls. Ask around any of your friends who originates from Malacca and I am sure that they would be able to name their favourite chicken rice balls stall. This one I had was near the town centre and it's along Jonker Street (or maybe a street or two away from it but it's around there). It is a restaurant at the corner of the street that specialises in chicken rice balls as evident by the huge cloth banner that screams "Malacca most famous chicken rice balls" *eyes rolling*. Yea yea yea, I know what some of you may be thinking right now: anything that advertises that outrightly is covering up for some inadequacies in their food. But heck, there was a queue of people lining up outside the shop waiting to get in, so how bad can it be right? So we wouldn't be the only gullible ones tricked by the banner.
Thai Express at The Curve
As usual, the get together started off late (about 1 hour 30 minutes late :wall: ) we were supposed to meet at 11am in front of starbucks. Unfortunately Marianne (writer chick) had to go to the bank to settle some stuff first. Coincidentally, Chloe (manager chick) was waiting for Marianne to pick her up which left me (Wilfred : the pea) to sit at starbucks and update my blog regarding some interesting fact about starbucks.
The whole plan for today was supposed to take an hour or so to browse around The Curve (warning: lousy website ahead) and document their food offerings there, and then head of to a few of the choice restaurants and cafes to try out thier food and take a ton of pictures. Which leads me to the next problem... Chloe's camera (the only camera there :wall: ) was having some vision problems, something about the CCD konk-ing out.
With little time left and a 0.3 megapixel camera phone (courtesy of me) we set off to just go for food and see what happens from there.
