Keow Teow Goreng @ Borneo Treasure Restaurant - Marketplace 88

Another first for us, here at Borneo Treasure Restaurant and it's fair to say we definitely will be returning! Strangely enough we both ordered Keow Teow Goreng tonight, mine with salted bean and chilli with seafood. Salted bean it turns out is in fact black bean and very tasty it was too, though for me possibly a bit more chilli was needed! Fish and prawns were fried along with peppers and onions then doused on top of keow teow noodles.
 

The Little Nibbler ordered chicken and egg with the noodles, this turned out to be wantan ho, one of my favourite dishes with lovely eggy gravy. It's worth noting that both dishes were quite large with plentiful ingredients. Pretty tasty too!

 

Borneo Treasure Restaurant is located at Marketplace 88.

 

The Bill: 2x Keow Teow Goreng, 1x Teh C Ping, 1x Kopi C Ping = 19.40 MYR

There's treasure to be had @ Borneo Treasure Restaurant!

Western Food @ Aubergine - Marketplace 88

This was our first outing to Aubergine, I doubt it will be our last! We decided to begin with a starter and shared the Aubergine Bruschetta, 4 slices of crispy french bread spread with olive tapenade, each topped with a slice of baked aubergine with lots of goey melted cheese, and finally sprinkled with paprika and parmesan. A really great start to our meal!

For the main event I chose the 'Say Cheese' Burger. A homemade burger loaded with cheese, salad, sauces and topped with fried, tempura style sliced onions. The overall taste was pretty good, though for me I prefer a meatier texture burger and found Aubergine's a bit too soft. The crispy, spicy fries were excellent dunked in the mustard mayo.
 

The Little Nibbler bit off more than she could chew with Aubergine's grilled Lamb, lucky old me! hehe. This one's definitely for the carnivore, 3 grilled lamb shoulders smothered in mild harissa and served with a choice of two sides. The Nibbler opted for sweet purple puree and cafe de Paris butter. The harissa adds a nice twist to the lamb.

 

Aubergine is located at Marketplace 88, on the first block as you head in from Jalan Pintas.

 

The Bill : 1x Bruschetta, 1x Burger, 1x Lamb Shoulder, 1x Coke, 1x Ice Lemon Tea = 64.10 MYR

Aubergine......A not too shabby bistro! 
So say all of us!!!

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!

Curry & Subs @ Seven Sea - Marketplace 88

This was our first visit to Seven Sea, a justifiably popular restaurant, it won't be our last! With my first choice regrettably not available I opted for the Yoghurt Curry Chicken with buttered rice.   A generous portion of boneless chicken, a rarity in KK, in a mildly spiced, creamy, curry sauce along with some chunks of potato. This was a tasty dish, maybe a little oily, but this didn't effect my overall enjoyment.

I have to say, I was a little envious when The Nibbler's Philly Cheese Steak arrived, it was huge!!! Tender strips of steak with fried onion and green pepper inside a massive wholemeal submarine roll, lettuce, mustard and of course Philly cheese was also in the mix. This is definitely a sandwich lovers sandwich!

I fancy one right now!!!

Seven Sea occupies a corner lot at Marketplace 88.

The Bill : 1x Chicken Curry, 1x Philly Cheese Steak, 1x Ice Lemon Tea, 1x Ice Coffee = 43.80 MYR

I can't wait for our next visit!!!
