Mixed Fish Noodle Soup @ Madam Ing Fish Noodle - Towering


My second visit today to Madam Ing's, I had noticed on my last visit that a curry based soup was available, unfortunately not today! Oh well another excuse for a return visit, not that I, or you should need one! I opted for the milk base soup but I think I got the regular hamchoi with tomato and tofu, not that this was a real problem, I just fancied a different taste. Fresh fish slice and yi fu were my ingredients along with meehoon. The fish is very tasty here and most definitely fresh, I also love the yi fu or fried fish paste fritters, both are really delicious. The chilli sambal is worth a mention too as it's super fiery with a hint of citrus, handle with care!
 

Madam Ing's is located at Towering.
 


The Bill : 1x Mixed Fish Noodle Soup, 1x Teh C Ping = 11.50 MYR

A perfect start to the day @ Madam Ing's !

Banana Leaf Meal @ K.Sanba's Curry Specials - Alamesra


I had a fantastic Banana Leaf Meal today at K.Sanba's Curry Specials. I opted for the chicken curry meal and everything tasted great, from the vegetable sides to the dhal and of course the curry itself. Portions were plentiful and staff were friendly and helpful, there's also the option of extra rice and sides!
 

K.Sanba's is located at Alamesra, on the way out to 1Borneo Hypermall.
 


The Bill : 1x Banana Leaf Meal, 1x Teh Tarik Ping = 13 MYR

They even ask if you want more @ K.Sanba's Curry Specials!

Local Food @ Ethnic Sabah - Grace Point Food Court


Dinner tonight was at a well visited destination for us, Grace Point Food Court, though it has to be said we feel the food quality has been a bit lacking lately and lets face it the drinks could be a whole lot better. Luckily tonight there were no such concerns as the Ethnic Sabah stall did us proud! I opted for the tried and tested Fried Fish Set, that now comes with a savoury sauce along with green beans fried with egg and what is possibly called nasi merah, a red coloured nutty rice. I believe this is quite a popular pick here.

 
The Little Nibbler plumped for the Ginger Chicken Set, plump being a good word to describe the chicken leg smothered in a ginger sauce accompanied with the same sides as the fish.


A dish of grilled aubergine with egg caught our eye, and this turned out to be a highlight and I'm sure a repeat order! I'm not exactly sure how it's made or how to describe it but it tasted wonderful and smoky, delicious!


Grace Point Food Court is located at Grace Garden.




The Bill : 1x Fried Fish Set, 1x Ginger Chicken Set, 1x Grilled Aubergine, 2x Ice Milo = 25 MYR

I can highly recommend Ethnic Sabah @ Grace Point Food Court!

Gun Ba @ Peppermint - Jalan Gaya


I think the Peppermint chain is now the only Vietnamese food outlet in KK, which is a shame, but on the plus side the food is very good! It was a hot day in the city today and I was contemplating sweating over my regular pick of raw beef pho when Gun Ba caught my eye. Gun Ba or cold chicken noodles is basically a kind of Vietnamese salad. Cold rice noodles topped with shredded carrot, cucumber and beansprouts, a piece of marinated, fried, boneless chicken with hints of lovely lemongrass and a tasty spring roll. This comes with a dressing of sweet chilli sauce mixed with fish sauce, I added some of this along with some extra soy and chilli sauce. In my opinion some lime juice and fresh herbs would have made this so much better, none the less it was still pretty good and a perfect light lunch on a very hot day!


Peppermint is easily located along Jalan Gaya. It's also a great place to sit and watch the world go by!

 


The Bill : 1x Gun Ba, 1x Ice Lemon Tea = 12 MYR

For a taste of Vietnam in Borneo, head to Peppermint!

Tom Yam @ Top 1 - HSK Industrial Centre


 I'm always on the look out for new places and areas to eat, on one of my search missions recently I came across Top 1 which at the time was very busy indeed, I vowed to return, so here I am, breakfasting on spicy Tom Yam. It's a very tasty Tom Yam @ Top 1 and the seafood, fish and prawns were very fresh and delicious, as I'm a lover of spicy food I'll most definitely be returning to sample their seafood curry mee! As well as mee hoon soups, which are numerous there's also a wide range of other dishes to choose from.
 

Top 1 is located at HSK Industrial Centre just off the Bundusan Road, it has some very eye catching signs above the entrances so it's very easy to find.
 


The Bill : 1x Tom Yam, 1x Teh C Ping = 10 MYR

I'm very impressed with Top 1, I'll be returning with The Nibbler!

Burgers @ BURGERBAR.co - Lintas Plaza


There's been some changes down at Party Play @ Lintas with the opening up of 2 new ventures, tonight's venue, BURGERBAR.co and the soon to be visited Signature. KK's burger scene has just got considerably bigger and dare I say it better! Quality out ways quantity here and all ingredients were top notch in the two burgers we tasted. My pick was the restaurants recommended 'must try' Swiss Mushroom, Mmmm reminds me of a burger available from a well known chain, I know where I prefer to eat! Firstly the beef patty was meaty, tasty and juicy, just how a well cooked burger should be, topped with fried mushrooms and onions and of course Swiss cheese, and let's not forget salad and mayo - take that Burglar King!!!


The Little Nibbler opted for a pork burger with the French Connection, another well cooked, tasty meat patty with added bacon, tomato, caramelized onions and brie cheese again with the added mayo and salad. We exchanged bites and let me tell you this is one tasty burger! We both opted for the added fries and bottomless sot drink option at 7 MYR. With so many tasty looking burger concoctions available it's going to be hard to stay away!


BURGERBAR.co is located on one side of Party Play @ Lintas Plaza.
 

Colourful inside eating area - honestly!
 

Alfresco dining available.
 

The Bill : 2x Burger, 2x Fries/Soft Drink = 44.50 MYR

I'm really looking forward to working my way through the menu @ BURGERBAR.co!

Bella's Breakfast @ Bella - Jalan Gaya


Breakfast @ Bella? Not everyone's first go to breakfast destination, certainly not mine, but if the breakfast set is going to continue then it may well be a regular spot for me. My pick of asam pedas beef mee goreng was top notch! The noodles were cooked perfectly with egg, spring onion and green veggie and the slightly spicy topping of beef  with hints of lemongrass was delicious! I truly enjoyed my breakfast this morning, the set also comes with tea or coffee, a great start to the day! Along with the 6 dollar set menu there's also another menu available with some western breakfasts and yummy looking pancakes.



Bella is a landmark along Jalan Gaya.
 


The Bill : Bella's Breakfast = 6.95 MYR

Breakfast @ Bella's now there's a turn up!

Nasi Ayam @ Singapore Chicken Rice - Api - Api Centre


Restoran Singapore Chicken Rice underwent a major facelift operation a few months ago and turned itself into a nice, bright and clean eating establishment, which includes some booth seating. The name gives it away as to what's in store, as well as some added noodle and vegetable options. I opted for the fried chicken and rice, though I'm sure it's roasted??? Never mind, it's very tasty all the same, rice is pretty good and with ginger and chilli sambals on the table it's a sure fire winner for me!
 

SCR is located in the Api - Api Centre, next door to Mc D's.
 


The Bill : 1x Nasi Ayam, 1x Ice Lemon Tea = 8.30 MYR

Tasty Nasi Ayam @ SCR's bright new restoran!

Noodles @ Boston - Karamunsing Capital


Boston's been around for a while now, we hadn't eaten here for quite a long time, probably before I started blogging, so we thought we'd return and see if it was as good as we remembered. There's quite a large menu to choose from that ranges from noodles and rice dishes to western sizzler plates and snacks, with a large choice of drinks too. I fancied something spicy and filling so the chicken curry noodles caught my attention, looked great in the menu, a little less so in real life but tasted good and hit the spot, the chicken drumstick must have come from some monster chicken, it was huge! Also in the bowl came beancurd puffs, fishcake slices, beansprouts, choy sum, fresh red chilli slices topped with Chinese chives and fried shallots.


Fried keow teow is quite possibly The Little Nibbler's favourite style of noodle, apart from kon lau mee, and here it comes fried with beef tenderloin. The meat was very tasty and not at all chewy, cooked in a hot wok to give that savoury, smoky taste along with noodles, egg, red chilli, beansprouts and a little green veggie. We both had an Ice Chocolate which was ok, nothing special, but we both enjoyed our noodles!

Boston's a fairly large restaurant offering inside and outside tables at Karamunsing Capital.


The Bill : 1x Chicken Curry Noodles, 1x Beef Keow Teow, 2x Ice Chocolate, 1x Iced Water = 37.05 MYR

Good Food Good Surroundings @ Boston!

Pasta @ Pasta Pasta - Jalan Gaya


Yet another new eatery in the heart of KK! With a new eatery comes more choice and as the name 'Pasta Pasta' suggests, you guessed it pasta is most definitely on the menu! Love the concept here, there's several pastas to choose from, choose one then choose a sauce, finally add a topping, simple. All dishes come in at 6.50 MYR, unless of course you want extra topping which costs an extra dollar. The servings are deceptively filling, but I have to say too saucy for our personal taste. We both had linguine, I had the tomato sauce which was very tasty, with meatballs, now I thought they tasted a little weird, The Nibbler loved them - just goes to show how different personal taste can be!
 

The Little Nibbler had the pesto, again very saucy for pesto, with chicken and sausage, again pretty tasty. I don't think Pasta Pasta will rival other restaurants in the area offering pasta but I think for a quick lunch or a quick bite to eat, for price you can't beat it! I'm also enjoying this hole in the wall type establishment along with Chiwawa's in the area offering something different, quick and easy - great for a bite while on a night out on the tiles!
 

Funky food containers with a free recipe!
 


Pasta Pasta is yet another food choice along the changing face of Jalan Gaya.
 


The Bill : 2x Pasta, 1x Extra Topping, 2x Soft Drinks = 18 MYR

Pasta Pasta fits into the multi ethnic eating scene!

Rojak Ayam @ Kak Nong Restaurant - Harbour City


I have a confession, this morning was the very first time I'd eaten rojak, I think I may have just stumbled across another favourite dish! Kak Nong's is pretty busy most times of the day, which for me is a great sign and for my first Rojak Ayam I was highly delighted! Yellow mee, shredded cucumber, beansprouts, fried tofu and boiled egg smothered in a wonderfully spicy peanut sauce, wow, simply awesome!


Kak Nong Restaurant is located at Harbour City.



The Bill : 1x Rojak Ayam, 1x Teh Tarik, 1x 100+ = 11 MYR

Rojak.......Love it!@Kak Nong's!
