Teeramisu Cake House

Teeramisu is a new cake house found at D'Piazza Mall. Shop opened back in Dec 2009 and I only got to know about this place two weeks ago. Their hottest selling item is their chilled fruit cheesecakes and Tiramisu cakes. They also sell other items such as buns/ bread and cookies. You can visit the below link which would lead you to their website.

Shop is located just behind Home's Cafe. It's the only shop opened there. Quite miserable how this Mall turned out to be. It is a huge mall but only a hand-full of shops opened. What a waste.

Anyways just today I bought myself back 5 slices of cake here. Before this I had bought a whole Apple Cheesecake for a colleagues Birthday. Sorry I do not have a picture of the Apple Cheesecake but let me copy a picture of it from the website (see below). It had a nice sweet and sour taste to it and had bits of apple pieces in the cake. Pretty unique way of making a cheesecake. Usually the fruits would be placed on the cake. Some colleagues said it was good, some said sweet and some said nice as it had a sour taste to it.

So back to the 5 slices of cake I bought. First slice was the Mango Cheesecake. The same concept as to the Apple Cheesecake, it had pieces of Mango in the cheesecake. Mango taste was not so intense though, which probably they could improve on.

Second slice was the Strawberry Cheesecake. Not so nice as it sort of had a slight salty taste to it.

Third slice was their TiraBerry cake. Well its a Berry flavoured Tiramisu cake. It was very good. It was fresh, moist, berry flavour was there, and you can get a slight taste of the alcohol. Loved it. Thumbs up. Would be back for this again.

Fourth and Fifth slice...I was being greedy that I ordered 2 slices of Tiramisu since the owner recommended to me to try it out. Said it was one of their hot items. It was good too. Same texture as to the Tiraberry cake. But if you would ask me.....I would say TiraBerry still da best for me.

For all 5 slices it cost me RM 20.90. Pretty alright, but don't expect the cake slices to be as big as Secret Recipe sizes.

Lastly, this place does cake delivery. So its good for me as every month I would be scratching my head on what cakes to order which can deliver to my office. Always have a Birthday party thingy for my colleagues. So I shall be ordering their cakes for a while till we all get jelak of it.

Curry Prawns at Lim Aik Chew- Nibong Tebal

A friend brought me to this place on Monday for lunch. We were on the way back from Damai Laut Resort and we stopped by at Nibong Tebal for some curry prawn feast.

I can't explain how to get there but I have the address as below at the end of this post. All I know is that the shop is located at a row of shop lots (papan houses) type near to a river.

My friend recommended their dried curry prawns to try. He wanted to order the Udang Galah ones (big head prawns) but the shop was out of it (apparently these prawns are less when it does not rain). So we had another type of prawns which were also huge in size. Ordered 1/2 a kilo of it and it costs us RM 35. Pretty alright in price.



Prawns came cooked in their signature dried curry style. Although the curry had a layer of red oil, the taste of the curry was intense and spicy. Quite good.

Since there's a lot of curry gravy you cannot waste on, you can also order some bread to dip together with the curry gravy. Bread was served all soft and hot (just steamed). Yummy yummy.



Besides prawns, they also have fish to serve. We ordered a Red Snapper steamed with garlic, soy sauce, tau chiong, and other goodies in it. It was good. Fish was very fresh.


Then we had also had some vegetable to complete our meal. They had only two choices of vegetable available that day, so we ordered the cabbage vegetable. When served, it did not look appetizing and as guessed it was not tasty at all.


I shall be back here again. Bought back a curry prawn dish for my parents to try out and they loved it. Well mum was suffering away as it was too spicy for her. But they enjoyed it. The left over of curry gravy, mum cooked up a fish curry dish. Guess nothing was wasted.

Ah Basri Satay At D'Piazza

A new satay place which is found in the D'Piazza complex in Bayan Baru. The shop is just after Home's Cafe. I have been here twice and so far, I leave feeling all satisfied.

The shop is a two-storey air conditioned place. So don't worry as the place is not stuffy/ hot, smokey or smelly. You have to order your meal first at the counter before you find a place to sit. Sort of a fast food type of concept.

There's many meat choices to choose from. See if I can name all of it.

Lamb
Beef
Ostrich
Calamari
Chicken
Prawn
Deer

You can order as how many sticks you want. The satay is charged per stick. Prices are around RM 1.40 to 2.50 each. But each stick is big and meaty. So no worries. Value for your money.

In my last visit I shared with my colleague 15 satay sticks. We had Original Chicken, Tom Yam Chicken, Deer, Ostrich, Calamari & Deer. All were good. meats were soft and tender especially the Ostrich meat stick.

All this for about RM 30++

Satay sauce is like how the Kajang Satay serves their sauces. Loved it.

Below is the special chilly sauce for the calamari satay.

Aside from having satay sticks, they also serve wraps and rice. Some colleagues had the rice set person. The wraps I would suggest not to order as I tried before and it was not nice.

Planta rice with Beef Satay

Planta Rice with Original Chicken Satay

Tomato Rice with Tandoori Chicken Satay

Nasi Lemak with Tom Yam Chicken Satay

Also they have ketupat to eat with your satay, It's RM 1 per piece. I totally forgot to order it in my last visit.

So anyone up for some satay feast??

CNY Makan Part 3- Zhong Hua Restaurant

3rd CNY makan this time with the girls. We all wanted some traditional Chinese Dishes like Peking Duck and Suckling Pig...so we picked this place found at Midlands Shopping Mall.

We were not sure how big the portions would be for the Peking duck and suckling pig, so we did not order a lot of dishes.

First main dish was the Yee Sang. It was a must to have it for CNY. But when the yee sang was served, it looked absolutely different to all the other yee sangs I had. See the picture below....


Was filled with a lot of those cripsy things and what more...filled with coriander leaves!!! Now what Yee Sang has Coriander leaves??? Its a big deal for me because I ain't a coriander leaf person. Hate the taste. So had to pick the leaves out. Good thing the whole dish did not have the strong coriander leaf taste. But we enjoyed the "loh yee sang". A huge portion of the yee sang did overflow from the plate...and none of the girls admitted who did it...hahahaha too excited!

Second dish was our Crispy Peking Duck. Served exactly how we wanted it to be with those pancake sheets, cucumber, onion leaves and hoisin sauce. Lovely. However every bite of the duck skin made us all guilty. Taste wise....well I must say, I've had better ones before. This was alright for me. The rest of the duck meat came much much later in a dish which was cooked with black pepper sauce. It was not so wonderful.





Third dish was the Suckling Pig. It looked good, but taste wise, it wasn't that tasty. The skin was crispy and salty a bit, but it did not have any spices taste to it. Meat on the other hand was rather bland I would say. So I was a bit disappointed. It did not have that "Oomph" taste to it.




Fourth Dish we ordered was Broccoli with Mushrooms. It was nice and tasty.


Fifth dish, we ordered an omelet. It had prawns, mushroom, onions and chilly in it.


For dessert we thought they would have the Peanut Soup and Lotus Paste Pancake, when asked, they said they did not have. Then we asked any special dessert, they only had this white fungus and red dates dessert to serve. Bummer, I could not have my fav chinese dessert.


We each paid about RM 40 each for the whole meal. There were 9 of us. Would I come back here again? Well certainly not for the duck and pig though. However my friends were saying that mornings they sell Dim Sum which is quite good. Perhaps I will come try one day.

CNY Makan Part 2- Shang Place

2nd CNY makan was with my colleagues at Shang Place found at Krystal Point. We took the set course menu which was priced 148 nett. The dishes were not of those 8 course type but we had dishes served chu char style (with rice).

First started off with some peanuts...while waiting for my colleagues to arrive.

Dish 1: Yee Sang
Yee Sang was colourful. Can imagine how much colouring were in those RED and GREEN things. But despite the strong colours, taste wise was good. But funny thing, it did not have those "powder spices" to put. hmmm?

Loh Yee Sang!

Dish 2: Schezuan Soup
Soup was an extra order from the set. Instead of the usual Sharks Fin soup we ordered the Schezuan soup instead. Was a good choice. I liked it. It was sour and not spicy. Just good for me.

Dish 3: Fish Curry
This was normal. Nothing wow about it. Fish slices had a strong fishy taste to it which kinda turned me off.

Dish 4: Sweet Sour Prawns
The size of this dish was miserable!!! Taste wise, was good but man, those prawns were so small!! There's more vegetables in it than prawns.


Dish 5: Tofu with Dried Shrimp
Normal common dish which tasted alright.


Dish 6: Spare Ribs in Lotus Leaf
This was something new for me. Meat was nice and tender and tasty. Can't really explain how it tasted like, but it was good.


Dish 7: Broccoli with Mushrooms and Scallops
Tasted like any broccoli dish. Scallops were the main attraction here.


Dish 8: Ostrich in Black Pepper Sauce
This was good. Meat was soft and tender. Black pepper taste was strong and good.


Dessert- Peanut Soup with Lotus Paste Pancake
We extra ordered this. It is my favourite dessert which I like to have in any Chinese Restaurant. So you can guess who influenced the rest of the colleagues to order...hehehe. Peanut soup was nice, not too sweet, just nice and lemak. Pancake on the other hand was good too...oh lovely to have this again...!! Mouth watering now. Does anyone know of any good places that serves this? wouldn't mind some recommendations.
