Western & Local Food @ Table No.1 - Tanjung Aru


Another great new restaurant, Table No.1 At Tanjung Aru. We kept a close eye on this place when it was being renovated from a bright yellow house to what you see today, a brilliant, bright white restaurant! I also wondered, what kind of food would it serve? I must say that from the sign outside it seems quite confused, pasta, nasi lemak and grills?!? But from looking at the menu, seeing other peoples food come out and finally eating the food, there's nothing confusing about it at all! With local and western food on offer there's plenty of choice but not so much that it's overwhelming and leaves you wondering how on earth could they cook so many dishes and do them justice too!
There were quite a few dishes that caught my eye, I now have at least five reasons to go back, but it was the Rendang Oxtail Platter that got my vote. A fantastic tasting, spicy rendang with a generous portion of oxtail that just fell off the bone, this was served with rice, egg omelette, a spicy almost pickled salad of vegetables and crackers, simply delicious!


The Little Nibbler went western choosing Crispy Skin Salmon with Pesto. Perfectly cooked salmon on top of an assortment of sauteed vegetables with a creamy pesto sauce. Yummy! Thumbs up all round! Its well worth mentioning that the dishes are presented really nicely too, good job Table No.1!


Table No.1 is located at Tanjung Aru, heading down to First Beach and next door to Perdana Park.

As we didn't feel dressed for the occasion we decided to sit outside at one of their candlelit tables. The inside dining area looks lovely with bright white interiors and soft furnishings with different seating arrangements, really quite stylish!


The Bill : 1x Rendang Oxtail, 1x Salmon, 1x Coke Light, 1x Ice Lemon Tea = 84.70 MYR

See you in the not so distant future, Table No.1!

Chinese Food @ Restaurant Beaufort 88 - Marketplace 88


I love it when we find a great new restaurant, well, new to us anyway. This was definitely the case with Restaurant Beaufort 88. We've been past it a few times before and it always looked busy, so tonight The Little Nibbler suggested we should give it a go. Good work Nibbler!!! With a friendly waitress highlighting a few items, I went for one of her suggestions of fried choy sum with pork. This was simple and delicious, healthy greens stir fried with tender pork.


The Nibbler wanted to try an omelette so we opted for the prawn with fried egg, juicy prawns with fluffy eggs. Yum!

Another pick by The Nibbler of kon lau mee with char siu. Another great choice! This was really quite different to any other kon lau mee we've eaten before, the sauce was quite herbal in taste and the char siu was extremely lean, a great dish!

Restaurant Beaufort 88 is located at Marketplace 88, just off Jalan Pintas.



The Bill : 1x Fried Choy Sum, 1x Prawn Omelette, 1x Kon Lau Mee, 2x Nasi Putih, 1x Teh C Ping, 1x Chinese Teh Ping = 26.70 MYR

Looking forward to my return visit already!
