Sloppy Chic

Hello Friday everyone! Have planned your weekend already? If you haven’t and if you are a mall-person, I have 2 places to recommend:

The Curve Shopping Mall

If Ikea is your favorite place to hang out, swing by Bubba Gump for a dose of shrimps!

The staff gets really excited when you flick the sign to : STOP FOREST STOP

Scampi @ RM31.90.

Linguini resting on a bed of shrimps. The pasta was yummy with the rather fresh shrimps + a piece of toasted garlic butter bread.

And I think there were like 15 shrimps in the dish!

Chicken Fingers @ RM23.90.

If you have been to Chilis/TGI’s for this dish, you MUST try this at Bubba Gump. The chicken fillets were still tender wrapped in the crispy and tasty batter. The batter is not like other flours, they have seasoned the batter too! And there were also 2 onion rings on top of the bed of fries.

Mojo Cafe & Kitchen has recently been opened in SS2 in a row with Station Cafe. Located on the 2nd floor, it is not hard to miss the big red Mojo Upstairs sign above a new 7-11, which is in the same row as MacDonald’s SS2.

The restaurant has a classic and antique feeling that makes you feel like home.

The cabinets display the old-time household items that we used to see.

Old school iron anyone?

Soon, our appetizers were served.

Bruschetta RM7.90

Sliced Baguette  toasted with tomato, cheese and herb salsa, it makes a delicious bite before dinner.

Garlic Bread – RM5.90

This is my personal favorite as the fragrance of garlic complimented the crusty and crispy bread really well. Thumbs up!

Kaya Toast RM3.90

For the old school, you have a choice of homemade kaya toast. Absolutely loved the homemade kaya!

Moving on to the dinner, the main course selections are not exactly large, but it helps our mind to decide faster. We had the pleasure of sampling most of the hit items, but I shall rank the top 3 among all the dishes.

Crowd’s Top 3 Favorites:

#1 – Linguini Duck Aglio Olio RM18

Firstly, we don’t always get to see Aglio Olio with duck meat, secondly, this is really good!

Crispy duck skin and meat with linguini, (which you might think its bacon), tossed  in olive oil and chili flakes, it was so savory you can’t help but keep digging in.

#2 – Classic Chicken Chop RM13

Apparently, chicken chop is the top seller since launching. True enough, the chicken was pan-fried while retaining the juice and tenderness of the meat. Then served with fries and coleslaw. Yum!

#3 – Lamb Shank RM28

If you look close enough, you will find a bulb of garlic on the plate. The lamb shank was stewed till soft and tender, you can easily put your fork to rip the meat without struggling with knife.

For all the news about Japan that we have been reading and watching, why not step out to help instead of just sighing in front of the media?

Sushi Tei steps forward to help Japan’s disaster victims

Kuala Lumpur, 18 March 2011 – Sushi Tei Malaysia www.sushitei.com today announced that it will be doing its part for the Japanese community by raising funds for the tsunami and earthquake victims in Japan.

The money from this charity drive will be used to provide immediate relief efforts and support for victims of the recent disaster.

Sushi Tei is located at:

• Pavilion KL

Looking for a place to chill out with friends after work on a Friday night? Perhaps The Daily Grind Gourmet Burgers at Bangsar Village I is a good place to go other than the same old Chilis and TGI’s.

At the first glance of The Daily Grind menu, you might think that it is similar to Chilis/TGIF, but soon you will notice their menu is actually way more extensive.

On a Friday night, we had a fun double date with witch couple since we have not hung out for quite a while.

The Daily Grind Gourmet Burgers @ Bangsar Village I is located at a secluded corner at LG (next to electrical shop), it is easy to miss if you don’t usually walk to that side of the world.

There’s also a smoking/bar section.

The interior of the restaurant is feeling quite the 60′s, it is not noisy and will be a perfect place for a good talking/catching up session.

TDG Crabby Caesar Salad RM25

As a starter, I really love the soft shell crabs in the greens! It adds colors to the healthy stuff, and the crisp and saltiness really spice up the leafs especially if you are not a salad person.

Nanchos with Cheese RM12

On the other hand, I think the nanchos is just alright.

Slow-cooked Lamb Stew RM28

The lamb stew is also a crowd’s favorite, the lamb cubes are flavorful and tender, wish we could have more!

TDG Dynamite Wings RM18

If you are a fan of buffalo wings, here is another type called the Dynamite Wings. It is hot! And the spiciness is not the immediate type, it will slowly explode in your taste bud after you swallow it. Nonetheless, I love it!
