Jake's Charboil Steaks

This is the main food highlight in our KL trip. Jake's Charbroil Steaks. Thanks to my Uncle and Aunty in KL, this was a very good meal we both had with you guys.

This place is famous as on the walls you would see a lot of celebrity photos and also our ex-Prime Minister dining in this place. Place has a cowboy atmosphere in it with wooden tables and chairs just like those cowboy towns restaurants you see in movies.

What we were both told was that the beef ribs here were to die for...so we both ordered it. I was expecting ribs with meat, but it came differently, the meat was already "out of the bone". It was good because you do not have to go through the hassle of digging the meat out. So anyways how were the beef ribs???? It was SUPERBLY GOOD!!! All thumbs up for this. So much better than Tony Romas or TGIF or Chillis. The trick in eating this, taught by my uncle is to cut the meat in small cubes before you put it in your mouth. This way the meat melts in your mouth when you chew it. Ohhh I am starting to crave it now.

Enough of drooling over the picture, before the beef ribs came, we had some Oxtail Soup, Potato Skins and Garlic Bread. Oxtail soup was good and tasty with a lot of chunky oxtail meat.

Then the Potato skins were stuffed with minced meat, capsicum and onions. Not forgetting the melted cheese on top of it. It was crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. Wonderful.

Potato Skins

Garlic bread was good. It was cripsy and soft in the insides and soaked well with garlic butter. But you do not see any garlic chunks on the bread.

And then here is something that I will not ever forget in my whole entire life. I ate Escargots...well not ate but was forced to try. The gravy where the escargots were baked in was good. It was very garlic-ish in taste. But seeing how it looked like all on the plate, my goosebumps started to stand. And worst off all seeing how it looked like after removing out from the shell was even more disgusting. Why do I say I was forced to try, well my Aunty and Uncle both love eating Escargots and they made me try it that night. Said I cannot leave without trying it...so okla braved myself, took it out from the shell, cut it into half (squishy indeed) and shiveringly put it in my mouth. First few seconds I could get the nice Garlic taste. Then another taste came as I started to chew it. Juices came out...and I just swallowed it all in. Phew....I Did it and never again will I eat it again. I just can't put my mind off the way it looks like. And the funny thing, after I swallowed it, Ed took the other half and swallowed it like a pill instantly. He did it so fast that everyone else was still laughing at my facial expression before they could even concentrate on him eating it. He too would be his first and last eating this.

For dessert we had this caramelized butterscotch cashewnut dish. I forgot what it was called on the menu. It was good. Something unique which I have never had before.

We both enjoyed the dinner that night despite the Escargot scene. Dinner was indeed wonderful. We both shall be back here again for the ribs. Its an all thumbs up for this.
Thanks to my Uncle and Aunty for bringing us here for dinner.

KL Trip March 2009

This was a KL trip back when Jason Mraz came to Stadium Negara to perform. Ed and myself went down to KL for the concert. And as you know where ever we end up, there is sure to be food on our tables. So this is what we ate.

After the concert, we both together with my uncle and cousin took a walk down the street and ended up this place which had really good noodles.
First noodle dish came in a claypot with "bee tai bak" noodles in it with minced pork. It was good.

But what was even better was the second noodle dish. It was superb. It had small bits of pork meat that was crunchy and tasty. A lil bit on the salty side but it was yummylicious.

What's next in our eating spree...well to summarize it I finally had my Kyros Kebab at KLCC.
Damn, why did the outlet in Gurney close down!!!!


For breakfast without fail we MUST always stop by at Pavilion for some Toast Box goodies. Roti Bakar and half boiled eggs!!! and not forgetting their "kao kao" ice coffee.

Then at Pavilion we dropped by this placed called Uhu! Uhu! They had like cute miniature cheese cakes in a cup. Taste wise, boleh-la...pricey though.

Then Ed brought me to this place somewhere in Petaling Street. We took quiet sometime walking around trying to locate it. It was a small kopitiam called Kedai Koon Kee selling really good Wan Tan Mee. First I was a bit skeptical...want tan mee in KL??? Penang should be 100x better. But hhahahah trust me...it was really good!!!I was surprise.

Then just outside, there was this uncle selling pancake in a really old school style way. It was nice and crispy.

Then before we left KL we dropped buy to try out Wendy's. We were both VERY disappointed by it. First of the burger was so tiny! Taste wise, it was that good. Then the major disappointment, Their so called Baked Potato.....my gosh it was horrible. Potato texture felt so grainy and flat in taste...Eeuuwww....

And the last of all for the KL trip, well read it in the next post.

Missing....???

Sorry for those who have been constantly reminding me about my NO blog updates. Been pretty tied up and not in the mood to blog. Guess that blogging mood sort of went on a long vacation. Well my stomach though was still in an eating spree. So I shall try and update as many outdated post I can possible now.

No Boundaries

Seconds, hours, so many days
You know what you want, but how long can you wait?
Every moment last forever.
When you feel you've lost your way.

What if my chances were already gone?
I started believing that I could be wrong.
But you give me one good reason.
To fight and never walk away.

So here I am, still holding on

With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing.

Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries.
There are no boundaries.

I fought to the limit, to stand on the edge
What if today is as good as it gets?
Don't know where the future's heading
But nothing's gonna bring me down
I've jumped every bridge and I've run every line
I risked being safe but I always knew why
I always knew why

So here I am, still holding on

With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing

Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can

You can go higher, you can go deeper
There are no boundaries above and beneath you
Break every rule 'cause there's nothing between you
And your dreams

With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe

Yeah, there are no boundaries
There are no boundaries

With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes

There are no boundaries.
There are no boundaries.
There are no boundaries.
