Good Name for a Foodcourt?

When things come to a critical point to be settled, they come with friends, family members, peers, colleagues well almost every Ah Kow, Arumugam and Ali (together with their wives, no doubt) one least expected.

Yes, being bogged down with deadlines from all corners of my life. The unmistaken fruit from my massive Procastination Tree.

Pepper Lunch, Plaza Indonesia, Jakarta Indonesia

Drats. It's already here in KL and blogged about. Thot it'll be my special discovery. =,(

We were on our own last day in Jakarta. Before time for our evening flight, we went loitering around Plaza Indonesia, one of the major shopping complexes in Jakarta. The night before, gracious Datuk K had recommended we do this for lunch.

It's self service. We were a tad earlier than the lunch crowd (it was a work day but we were on holiday. Yay-yay-yay!) so the counter where orders are placed was empty.

There were screens placed strategically around the outlet demonstrating the self cook method. Otherwise, just refer to the slip of paper around one's hot pan.

Salmon

Pork Chop

Both were equally delicious. In the event taste is to not to par, fear not. A range of sauces is available for your personal concoction.

Can't wait to try out and compare the new outlet at our shores.

Located in KL: Pavilion
Located in Indonesia: Plaza Indonesia

Caution: Keep itchy fingers (especially kids') at a safe distance from the dishes. The super hot pans are not friendly to human flesh.

Hope Ming Tien Will Be Better

Reads as Hope 'Tomorrow' Will Be Better.

‘This is a celebration not to be missed. With your 9 to 5 desk job, where got chance to be part of history? Oi, come-la. In case it’s boring, I have someone to talk to-ma.’ A friend nagged minus the shirt pulling.

Look, the evening weather has been temperamental and the unrelenting traffic woes on the roads has been (everybody together now) unrelenting. But can be part of ‘Sejarah Hari Ini’, okay, let’s burn some gas.

No time to grab a buka puasa feast so to a foodcourt we went.

I had Sarawak Handmade Noodle.

Kok, this is Kolo Mee, right? If yes, I just have trust you that those over in Kuching taste good. Simple dish, no? RM4 is pricey, no?

Friend had Lui-Cha-Fan aka Ho Po Hakka Rice aka Thunder Tea Rice aka Grind Tea Rice. RM5 for a healthy meal.

The fan of green gruel didn't give it a thumbs up but still worth the price as quite a lot of work goes into this bowl of herbivor feed. IF it's done the authentic way. Do check out the manual grinding action here.

Location:- Ming Tien Foodcourt with its own website.

Ahem. Our historical moment. Here’s a preview of the new addition into our next generation’s Buku Sejarah (no?):-

Oh look, door gifts.

Carl's Jr!!!!!!

While we await Tummythoz's pictures, allow me to post a short one... CARL'S JR.!!!!

Yeah, it’s here at last. Been waiting a long time for this outlet to be opened in Mid Valley. While I was doing some shopping with my cousin during Deepavali week, we were coming up the escalator hoping to get some tickets for a movie. Guess it wasn’t meant to be when we saw Carl’s Jr., fully opened.

Without hesitation, we went in and grabbed 2 combo meals of the same, the Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger with drinks and fries. Instead of having 2 packs of normal fries, we decided to upgrade one of our serving to the Chilli Cheese Beef Fries.

Sadly, this was s shopping trip and hence my camera was left at home while my trusty Samsung D600 phone ran out of battery. Hence, pictures were taken using a Nokia 6300 phone. I like the phone but the camera’s way off. Sorry for these lifeless pictures......

The Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger (what a mouthful!) was really filling. 2 burger patties, chicken bacon (not motivating) and cheese make up this famous burger. I had extra pickles on it from the bar which is free for all and my next 15 minutes were spent enjoying every single bite of this burger, savouring its strong ‘western’ flavour.

The fries were pretty regular though my cousin would have preferred more salt on it. The upgraded Chilli Cheese Beef Fries were a bit too soggy coz when you have corned beef and cheese over it, this is the end result. I would have preferred wedges instead just like KFC’s.
All in, the price was approx RM 53 and my tummy rating had to come a few hours after the meal as the analytical side of my brain was temporarily shut off for this meal……

My tummy rating: 8.5/10

McDonald's Breakfast set

Only a simple sentence should sum up this breakfast - Next time, I'll stick to my favourite. Oh, the muffin was dry and tough. Same goes for the sausage patty. Had to soak it thoroughly with chilli sauce which luckily I like.

Spy the time, date and location of this meal? My holiday destination requires a Visa to be issued at the Embassy nearby. I am flying off shortly (taxi picking me up at 3.45am *gulp*!). Wanna make a guess to which country? I'll be back in a week's time and hopefully I'll bring back good food pictures to share. In the meantime, Fezzaboy, eat all the muruku on my behalf, ok!
