Coffee Chemistry @ First Subang Mall

This is the 3rd blog for the past 24 hours!!!

I'm in a blogging spreeee!!!

If you're wondering, no, I'm not overdosed with coffee.

But it has been days that an important piece of technology

called the PC is absent in my home.

And now that I've got my office laptop at home,

I have the luxury of fully utilizing it for my own pleasure and leisure.

And so.. blogging it is!

--------------------------------------------

Few months back I purchased Groupon vouchers for

dinner at Coffee Chemistry, First Subang Mall.

Groupon Deal:-

"[Up to 53% Off] 2-Course Western Meal: Grilled Salmon Steak,

Classic Roasted Lamb Shoulder, OR More + Dessert at Coffee Chemistry Signature, First Subang Mall for 1 (RM22) / 2 (RM40) / 4 (RM76) People."

Coffee Chemistry Signature at First Subang Mall

The purchase is with intention to create an

opportunity to have a nice dinner with my closest friends.

But I was way busy with coping with life till I forgotten about it.

Finally set the dinner on the very last day of redemption period.

Highest gratitude to friends who manage to leave work early and

squeeze some time out of their busy schedule just for me.

Coffee Chemistry cappuccino

Barry ordered a cappuccino which was okay, he said.

Nothing spectacular to my dismay.

Coffee Chemistry rose cappuccino

My eyes was affixed on the coffee section when I saw this.

Rose cappuccino?!!

I gotta try this!!!



Was eager to try but the excitement quickly turned into

disappointment coz it tasted like bandung.

Rose syrup flavor has covered any little possibly imagined

coffee taste in that cup of cappuccino.

Coffee Chemistry chocolate ice blended

Vince with his usual love for chocolate, ordered

ice-blended chocolate with ice cream.

He's not that picky, and he finished the drink.

Good, I guess?

Coffee Chemistry grilled salmon steak

This is my 180g grilled salmon steak served with mashed potato and vegetables.

My salmon was well prepared, but the lemon sauce that comes with

it tasted like an odd pairing.

With the salmon already fresh and nicely grilled, perhaps they need

a more subtle sauce to let the salmon "shine" instead of Mr. Lemon here

taking the credit all by itself with its tingling lemony flavor?

Coffee Chemistry classic roasted lamb shoulder

Vince's 130g classic roasted lamb shoulder served with mashed potato and vegetables.

The lamb is soft and the thick gravy is delicious!

No complaint on this... yum yummm...

Coffee Chemistry seafood pasta

Barry's seafood pasta consist of mussels, prawns, squids and fish.

Aside from the fresh seafood and creamy sauce,

one thing that I'd like to highlight here is that the heavy

usage of capsicum makes it the dominant taste in this pasta.

Lesser or maybe no capsicum at all would be better.

Coffee Chemistry fish & chips

Alicia's Coffee Chemistry Fish & Chips with side salad.

I did not try the fish fillet as I'm trying to avoid fried food for my sorethroat.

Alicia says it's nice. So I'll take her word for it.

Side salad on the other hand was entirely mine.

Finished it, nice light dressing.

Coffee Chemistry affogato

Our Affogato (Espresso topped with vanilla ice-cream)

Concentrated coffee with ice cream - superyummylicious!

I love the dessert and finished it, and with the rose cappuccino I had earlier,

those two kept me awake till 2am that very night!

Coffee Chemistry brownies and ice cream

Brownies and ice-cream

Ain't that good.

Brownies ought to be soft and chocolaty.

Best when it's warm. (personal preference)

These brownies are kinda hard, and I didn't go yuhhmm nor licking my spoon after!

Then... It's photo taking time!!!!

Joyce Yap & Vince Yeoh (didn't look very appiee eh?)

Mr. Barry Yap & Ms. Joyce Yap (no, not siblings)

Mr. Barry Yap & Mrs. Yap
(no, not husband and wife, Alicia is the wife of Mr. Isaac Yap!)

We counted the years of knowing each other, Alicia scored 12 while Barry's 8.

Photo with my future godson (still in mummy's tummy)... :)

Joyce Yap & Alicia Goh

Overall, this is a pretty good deal from Groupon.

The serving is just nice.

None of us were overloaded from the dinner.

yummylicious! ;)

 Oh no.. it's almost 3am!!!

I've got a facial appointment tomorrow, plus cake collection,

plus a wedding dinner and then rush to dad's 71st birthday dinner!!!

Plenty of things to do, so little time to get it done!!!

Tao Authentic Asian Cuisine & Sushi @ Sunway Giza

My dear readers, I would like to declare that I AM OFFICIALLY BROKE! So if any of you want to food-hunt, please do not invite me because I will be very tempted to join! I would need to ikat perut for the rest of the month because of the food spree I had recently. *sigh*

Today we had buffet at Tao Authentic Asian Cuisine & Sushi @ Sunway Giza. This is the meal that have ripped off what is left in my purse.

About Tao, we had buffet lunch which is from 11am - 4pm, but we arrived late because buddies are working half day. As this is a buffet lunch, the food displayed outside is self service. But what attracted me the most is that we are free to order as many dishes / plates we want from the ala carte menu which offers alot of varieties!

The waitress is kind enough to introduce us the TOP TEN dishes in the ala carte menu. In total we had about 20 different dishes including ala carte and from buffet line.

I took tons of photos but had just uploaded a few photos featuring either the best or worst dishes we had. Fair rite?



Buddy Chew ET came back from Doha and we bring him around to fulfill his craving for food! It is actually because of him that we went to Tao..

Sashimi - Chew ET said the scallop is not so fresh but the rest is okay.



Abalone - In my opinion, the slices of abalone is thick and juicy, accompanied with the sauce that makes it so flavourful till the last bite! This is actually my favourite dish and we had two plates of it.


Grilled oyster with cheese. For those who love oyster, I bet you would like this dish! The cheese is very creamy and thick. And guess there is some salad underneath the layer of cheese too.



Salad cheese prawn which is another favourite of mine. The prawn is big and crunchy. If there is just a littleeee bittttt moooore spaaaace in my tummy, I would have order another plate of this dish.



Grilled scallop. I'm not very sure what is the topping but it sure taste like a combination of cheese and otak-otak! Although the topping is delicious, I have trouble tasting the scallop because it was overcooked and thus shrink into a tiny miny 'something' (because it does not taste like scallop).



Self-picked teppanyaki ingredients and cooked on the spot by the chef. Barry and Alicia picked the ingredients and I think this is actually not bad!



Tako - big disappointment to me because the crust was so hard that when I tried to cut it, it rolled from the table to my bag on my lap! Creating a messy stain on my Longchamp! I seriously would prefer the tako kiosk in Jaya Jusco or wherever it may be. There is no filing inside this tako too. Not even a small tentacles of a octopus!



One of the top ten ala carte dish! This lamp chop is yummy and I just hope there is more flesh than the bones.



Self-picked assorted seafood. I love the grilled prawns. The teriyaki chicken is not bad too. The rest is just so-so.


My choice of soup ended up to be another disappointment. Abalone soup as claimed, but abalone is no where to be seen. Instead, there are chunks of chicken and a quail egg. The soup does not taste like it have been boiled with an abalone... :(



Steamed lala - my choice too. I am not very good at locating good food because this dish proves that I have failed in ordering food. First of all, a steam lala should have lala. This plate of lala is so tiny meanie that I could not taste the supposedly-fresh-seafood. It was cooked with too much chilli making the gravy very hard for us to telan.



A bowl of fruits to call it a day.
And not to mention, Joyce self-proclaimed "JY's tomato choco fondue!!!". I saw the chocolate fondue mountain and could not stop myself from looking for something to dump inside the mountain! Look left, look right, nothing... nothing... (talking like Russell Peters and his Indian accent)... yeah nothing... No strawberry, marshmallow or whatsoever.. so I find whatever I could at the salad bar which is the baby tomatoes! Cucuk everything in the satay stick and yessshhhh there it goes inside the mountain of slurp slurrpyyy!!!

Well now I am broke because we spent RM70 p/pax... but I have got a very satisfied tummy! If there is gonna be a next trip to Tao, I will fill my stomach with the abalone slices, grilled prawns, ebi tempura, lamp chop and the cheese shrimp!

Yuuummmmmylicious! :)

Hing Ket Grill House, Kampung Jawa, Klang

Today there were a total of 10 of us hunting for food, in conjunction with a birthday celebration.. well, without a cake.

We went to Hing Ket Grill House at Kampung Jawa. This place is very popular not only among Klang people, but also food hunters from KL and other places. I have just found out that my food idol KY came all the way from PJ to this restaurant too! ;)

Since there were so many of us, we ordered a total of 9 dishes...

1) Grilled crab
2) Grilled prawns
3) Grilled squids
4) Grilled sting ray
5) Grilled lamb chop
6) Steamed lala
7) Vegetables
8) Fried glass noodles
9) Fried mee suah

The crab was grilled to perfection, and what I love most is the egg... I don't really know how to describe that type of egg where it is kinda soft and bitter. Just love it! All these grilled seafood does not need any salt or flavoring because it is so fresh! I love the prawn and string ray too!

The grilled squids and steamed lala on the other hand is just okay for me.

The grilled lamb chop is however, is a MUST if you come to Hing Ket Grill House! It is very tender and juicy, and is best accompanied with the mint sauce. Love love love it!!!

This dinner is one of the most enjoyable meal I had for the past 1 month. The only thing I regret though, is that I did not bring my camera along!!!

Anyhow, try Google Hing Ket and you can see plenty of people talking about it and photos of the food is widely accessible!

Yummylicious!!! ;)
