Gourmet Garden

Way back from KL, we dropped by tambum for our dinner. This time we decided to explore a new seafood restaurant in Tambun.

Crossing by those seafood restaurant, several of them were holding wedding functions. Probably is a good wedding month, day?! “ding dong tiang”…at the end, we choose this Restoran Floating.

At first we just thought that Restoran Floating is just only a name, but when we stepped on it, we only realise the whole restaurant its really floating on the big fish pound! We couldn’t see much what was surrounding the restaurant, cause it already dark on the night.

炸苏东 Deep Fried Sotong in crispy batter
Crispy Crispy Crispy…everything is fine for me, but sotong were too small. i kinda prefer bigger sotong, so you wouldn’t feel like eating batter only….haa

Dear Floggers, i am going to post everything related to food, cooking & travel story in this blog from now on, rather then separate into 2 blogs (my second blog is feelthefood.blogspot.com). Heee…..have more topics to post mah…..lol

i will try to copy feelthefood.blogspot.com posted content to here. Stay tune!

This time im going to share Raw Ingredient with you. Have you seen “Perut Ikan” in raw before? Is not the fresh fish stomach digged out from the fish im going to share, but is Fish Stomach pickled in salt. Usually the perut ikan should cleanly wash and soak with salt for preservation, and kept it in a glass container. And rinse the salt before cooking.

The Fish Stomach is commonly found in one of the famous Nyonya Dish, called “Perut Ikan“.

Perut Ikan just spooned out from the glass container….not wash yet….kinda smelly

Have to soak in the water and wash for several times…..

Never discovered they has beautiful visual marking! Did you see the white dots? is salt…

Oh….its transparent too

After many times of washing and cleaning process…..
See….like a cloth floating in the water…haa

Its string after cooked! No wonder we barely find Fish Stomach in the Perut Ikan dish!

This is my second trip to Pangkor, not for holiday, but is to attend Jason’s relative wedding ceremony instead. We decided to visit our friend in Ipoh, when on the way down to Pangkor. So I’ve done my homework – to hunt for ipoh food among the food blogs, or else we will miss ipoh food again!…heee.

Hurray! I’ve finally found one interesting & mouthwatering food, is “Sar Keong Chicken” from Hoy Tin Lau were posted by Motormouth – Ipoh food blogger (j2kfm.blogspot.com). The chicken looks delicious, and we both agreed to go for it! So we contacted our local friend and ask for direction.

We nearly lost the opportunity, because we arrived ipoh were almost 2pm – noon session is going to close soon. We faster called up our friend and asked her go to “Hoy Tin Lau” and checked were they still open at that time.

Lucky! We were the second last table before the kitchen close. After the “Rush Hour”, is time to enjoy the food!

Before we start to the food topic, I have to mentioned about the waitress (probably is the ladyboss) was not friendly, black face indeed. Little rude in the way asking for the order. When ever we faced this situation…we will show our black face too… In Chinese called ” 以牙还牙”… lol

Hello, we pay for the food ok?! We are not begging you! Just wondering why, do they really understand how to operate a food business? How would your customer feels, and will they come back again? At the end, who loss?

Anyway, don’t care la…just enjoy the food to release our tention. Let see, what we’ve ordered…

Sar Keong Chicken “沙姜鸡”
The chicken lightly roasted in golden color, served with churchy jelly fish and a plate of finely chopped Sar Keong (a type of ginger). The meat is tender but its abit salty. Remember to eat it with the Sar Keong, or else you won’t taste the different with other roasted chicken….lol. And I don’t feel the jelly fish is a good combination for this dish. The soury covered the chicken taste. Although is special, but the Jellyfish is not a necessary item to put into it. I personally would prefer how would the Sar Keong taste better for the chicken. The Sar Keong couldn’t plays the part, its because it was finely chopped only. I would suggest the best way to prepare the Sar Keong is to finely chop and mash, marinate in oil OR lightly sauté in oil to bring the sar keong flavour out. From there you can get the strongger Sar Keong taste.

Food Taste: 6.5

3 Yolks Steam Egg “三黄蛋”
A normal plate of steam egg….and was below par! Their eggs is over cooked and tasteless.
Food Taste: 4

Stir Fry Mixed Vege “清炒杂菜”
Oh, their vege has mixed with asparagus and celery, can taste Chinese wine and wok hei. Not bad.
Food Taste: 6

Claypot Goose Feet cook with Salted Fish “咸鱼鹅掌煲”
I doubt that was goose feet, i’d rather believe it is duck feet instead. The sauce is quite alright, but there is nothing you can suck from the feet! Did you see the picture? All is TULANG! Pretty tought and hard to pulled the skin out from the feet, at the end, we surrendered! just to suck the sauce from the feet!!!! It was damn expensive (RM20+) and ate nothing…$#%$%&^ pretty unhappy with this dish.
Food Taste: 4

Shops located in the middle of Ipoh Garden East-Bercham.

This is the REAL BURGER that we are looking for. We found the Carls Junior Burger in the Sunway Pyramid new wing. This shop is located in a quite deep in, and you would easily miss out this place.

Carls Junior is a fast food franchise, originate from USA (i think they were new in M’sia, if I’m not mistaken). All their Burgers are in XXL sizes. McD, Burger King? NO WAY, this is triple the size!!! My little small mouth was hardly gave it a full munch for the first bite. Its too huge…

How every, although their size is big, but their price are a bit over for a chain store concept. It is almost the same price of a plate of restaurant food.
