Makan oh Makan...

Makan untuk hidup or hidup untuk makan? Well...both for me...sebab? I eat to gain energy (besides gaining weight, actually...hehehe...) and nutrition for me to move on with life activities and I live to enjoy food as well, right? So, it appears to benefit me both ways...

Since I moved to Frankfurt, ye lah kata orang, sebagai seorang Muslim, makanan di negara luar especially bukan negara Islam, akan menjadi satu cabaran as we feel difficult to find halal food. So, before ordering or buying something to eat, I have to really careful on the ingredients or what mentioned in the menu...Jadi, pilihan adalah amat terhad...itu lah hakikatnya and it seems that I am totally ok with it...tapi di sini, ada banyak Turkish restaurants...and they offer halal food...ada jugak fish restaurants...so, tidak menjadi masalah tapi kena control la sikit...at the end of the day, it's better to cook at home...kan? Hmmm...I really miss my mom's cooking: nasi ayam...ayam masak hitam...gulai ikan nyoq2...everything...

So...these are amongst my lunch menu besides Maggi bila berada di perantauan...hehehe...

shrimp salad...kenyang rupanya kalau makan benda ni saja...

sweet yogurt with berries...fresh berries...

shrimp flammkuchen...French version of pizza...very crispy...

one of my favorites: grill salmon with saute potato...

Till then, XOXO...

Asam Pedas @ Bukit Jelutong

Errrr...aku macam suka sangat tulis pasal food kan? Ye lah...sebab kita makan lagi kerap daripada kita tukar baju...and bagi yang slalu bz dengan keja or aktiviti2 bebas, mesti slalu jugak lepak makan kat luar...lagipun, sharing is caring...so kalo sedap kita bagitau...kalo tak best pon kita bagitau...apa-apa pon terpulang pada selera sendiri...lain tekak lain rasa nyer yer tak?

Aku ni keja...so kalo weekdays memang konfem tak masak lah sebab sampai umah pon paling awal kul 7 petang or paling lambat kul 9 malam...penat la nak masak...baik singgah makan jer...by the time sampai umah, rest and tengok tv ajer...

Anyway, last Friday, aku pusing2 kat Bukit Jelutong carik restoran mana yang tak penah aku try makan lagi...so dah banyak sangat pusing, we decided to makan kat Asam Pedas...dari luar restoran ni nampak biasa ajer tapi nak jugak cuba...

By the time we arrived and duduk, we waited for lie 5 minutes for them to notice us...so we were like kalau 5 minit lagi korang tak sampai ambik order, we blah ler...so finally nampak jugak kelibat kitaorang duduk kat meja...we ordered mee kari, mee goreng mamak, ais kacang and cucur udang...hmmm...servis sangat lambat...nak kata orang ramai, aku tengok ada satu meja jer yang occupied selain we all...itu pon rasanya diaorang dah lepak lama...ok fine...we all pasrah jer...then bila food sampai...we all pon start la makan...cett...rasa tak best langsung...mee goreng mamak tu masin + hitam...too many black pepper...mee kari lak nampak best tapi taste wise...sangat average...the worst part was their ABC...pucat lesu...dull...tak der mender except for kacang, kacang merah and jagung...rasanyer pon macam ais cicah sirap jer...bila time nak bayar...mak aiiii mahal lak rasanya...paling mahal mee goreng mamak tu lah...RM 6.50 beb...lagi mahal daripada mee kari...yang boleh aku puji was cucur udang dia la...goreng time2 tu jugak...so stil panas...crispy...yang tu jer lah yang aku puas hati pon...

Anyway, that will be our first and last visit to Asam Pedas lah...yang kat Bukit Jelutong tu la...hehehe...tapi kalo ada orang yang nak try, silakannnn...

Till then, XOXO...

Pizza San Francisco

the pizza...

We had a quite early dinner this evening...sejak awal petang we were wondering what to eat for dinner as we wanted to reduce our rice intake...hehehe...konon nak diet kan...tekak tetiber jadik tak lalu nak makan nasik...so as we approached tol Bukit Jelutong, we decided (my decision, actually...hehehe) to have dinner at Bukit Jelutong...nak makan western katanyer...so we went to Pizza San Francisco...next to Petronas station...biasala perut tengah lapar macam2 nak makan...so hubby ordered fish & chips while for me...errr...mushroom soup and garlic bread for starter (kelasss...siap ada starter lagi) and a regular sized pizza...ntah aper nama nyer but it started with c...sangat susah lidah Melayu nak menyebut nyer...with beef pepperoni, mushroom, cheese and the best part was...ada cili padi...terbakar lidah aku makan...

Anyway, the food was not that bad...all i could say...they were average but i enjoyed the ambience...very shady...cool and tak crowded...so you can actually enjoy your food while reading, chatting with friends or even with your loved ones...staff dia pun quite ok...not to say excellent but at least they were not rude when i was there...i was not offended...

Anyone yang nak try the food or need some personal space, you can go to San Francisco Bukit Jelutong which is next to Petronas station...but my experience could be different from others, this is only my personal view...

Till then, XOXO...
