Gold Coast Restaurant (金海岸餐館) 值得一試!

Gold Coast Restaurant @ Island Park (青草巷).


On the way down to Dewan Sri for PFS concert, BZ who likes to eat chu char brought us to Gold Coast for dinner.


We didn't realize there are actually set meals offered here until ...


"Jup! Aunty! We want to change, ei sai boh?" *Grin~~Luckily boleh!*

Value Set Meals

We changed to order value set (RM28 set) and top up with additional fish dish.

Soup of the day is Shanghai Chai Chicken Soup. We love the milky soup, not too sour, ngam ngam hoe!

Beancurd with Abalone Sauce. We finished this dish the fastest!

Pai Kut Ong. Seriously, I under-estimated this value set. MHBP leh, frankly.

Potato leaves fried with sambal (we changed to garlic instead). Hmm...of course garlic can't beat sambal loh, less kick loh!

Siakap (fried style : we chose 'sa bee' (three taste)) - RM20

All of us thought it is three ways of cooking, but ended up it actually meant three types of ingredients that made up the taste. Good and cheap!

Lucky Course RM188

Birthday Course RM288

Monk Jump Over the Wall RM680

Poon Choy RM280

Why my Ice Ice Noodle like this one leh?!

Ice Ice Noodle is an icy noodle with crab sticks, cucumber, sausage and egg - one of the signature dishes at Tutti Frutti .

In the past I have always been impressed by the dish presentation of this Ice Ice Noodle until recently....

I was SHOCKED when seeing this dish, nearly heart-attacked(!) oh. *I am comparing this with the one back in ancient time @ BJ*

This is the original photo shot used in the menu , the restaurant's wallpaper and website.



This is the dish being served in front of me. LOL!

After 'cultivating' the hairy cabbages....this is the interior look! WALAO EI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I am sort of a person who is forgetful. I couldn't recall the actual reason I stopped ordering this dish for such a long time until I had it (again) the other day. It's too sourish lah!


On the other hand, I was deeply impressed with this combination of green tea ice cream with white fungus in syrup. This is equally good if compared to the red beans.



I will order this again but definitely not ice ice noodle anymore loh..... haha!

Soba Yoshi new menu looks KENG!

Soba Yoshi @ Krystal Point

It's been ages since I last stepped into Soba Yoshi. I couldn't recall what are the reasons (until reaching end of the meal here).

I had a high-schoolmate-gathering with three ladies recently and guess what?! What impressed me the most is its new menu.

Two of us who arrived early flipping the menu from front till back, back till front..... repeatedly for more than 15 minutes and still we were indecisive of which to order. The menu is simply too attractive with great photos illustration, it has far more choices if compared to last time! MORE affordable price for set too (yeah, last time NOT)!

Appetizer served is s-a-u-s-a-g-e-s?! What?! Ahem.... *shrugged*


Chawan Mushi served in bento set. Good texture with big slices of mushrooms.


Tempura Soba & Temaki - hot noodles with mix tempura & handroll (RM18.00+)

Temaki.

Soba Yoshi Bento - its signature bento! (RM58.00+). I believe this worths the price if being compared to that pathetic EQ bento set. :)

Soba Yoshi Bento consists of : tempura, unagi, shitake yasai itame, assorted sashimi & sushi, inari or cold soba, served with chawan mushi, miso shiru and dessert.


Succulent shitake mushroom!

Crunchy Tempura!

L size of Unagi !

Fresh Sashimi!

Assorted Sushi!

Cold Soba!

Momiji Bento (RM38.00+) comes with assorted sashimi, salmon in butter sauce, vegetable salad and chicken in ginger sauce, rice, with chawan mushi, miso shiru and dessert.

Unatamadon & Wan Soba (RM26.00+) - Eel with egg topped on rice & cold buckwheat noodles
I believe the Donburi set is the most worth and filling one as it got one big bowl of rice + a small bowl of soba (size exactly like the one shown in bento set above).

One of the reasons is - Whole body and hair very smelly lah after dining here.

Dave's Deli 30% off with disappointment

Dave's Deli @ Queensbay

The banner said "30% OFF for Mon-Thu only, ALL DAY LONG".

I have had lunch at Dave Deli for several times before and I found it pretty ok, MHBP lah since it's far cheaper compared to Kenny Rogers and Nandos nearby.

This time, somemore ALL DAY LONG. Dinner also can get 30% woh!


Quarter roasted chicken is normally @ RM13.90. With 30% off, it only costs you RM9.73 nett.


BUT......What I got from this 30% off is DISAPPOINTMENT.

Chicken is CHICKEN. Gravy is GRAVY. Kao hmm mai loh!

Whenever ordering more than 1 plate, there bound to have some gonna take the chicken wing with whole chunk of breast part. (not shown in this pic though) :(

The gravy is no longer tasted like last time. It's watery and less flavourful.

Mushroom Soup (RM6) - this one is entitled for 30% off discount too.
French Fries (RM4 nett)

Japin Set Meal

Japin @ Queensbay Mall

Japin evolves from a restaurant having lots of tong shui (here ) when it first opened, became more expensive with less tong shui variety, and now, perhaps it's the third generation of menu?! with more reasonably-priced set meals offered.

My last visit to Japin was actually 2 yrs ago at Japin (again?) , a rather disappointing one.


Hancha Setto (Fried Rice & Syoyu Ramen Set) RM16.80+


Kimchi, mashed potato, soup ramen, fried rice, salad and fruit. Rate ? SO SO.



Kimuchi Cyahan Bento (Kimuchi Fried Rice Set) (RM13.80+) . This set comes with gyozo (fried dumpling). Again, SO SO neh!


When this set was served, the gyozos were actually served 'upside down' one. I got to flip them by myself.

Shiratama pinatsu-kake (Dry Rice Balls -peanut) RM6.80+ . I like this dessert, cute small rice balls with peanut fillings.



Peanut paste inside.

Green tea still remains the same, charged @ RM1 each, not refillable.

I am impressed with the box of tissue. It seems like very long already since I last saw a restaurant serving big box of 'normal' tissue for customers' use.

Tutti Frutti Set Lunch (Weekdays)

Tutti Frutti Set Lunch Meal (Weekdays only) @ Tesco Extra , Sungai Dua.

Oh....Now only I realized the Set Lunch here is actually a separate menu from Set Dinner /Weekend Set Lunch (which you could find here at Tutti Frutti Drunken Chicken is still very trademark-ed! )

No additional service charges nor government tax.

This price is for WEEKDAYS only.
Set Lunch + Drink of your choice : coke, tea, coffee, fruit juice of the day.
Set A : Le Chic Noodle + Drink = RM9.80
Set B : Nutty Noodle + Drink = RM9.80
Set C : Drunken Chicken Rice + Soup + Drink = RM11.90
Set D : Drunken Chicken Noodle + Soup + Drink = RM11.90
Set E : Black Pepper Spaghetti + Soup + Drink = RM12.90
Set F : Sizzling Lemon Chicken + Soup + Drink = RM12.90
Set G : Cafe De Tutti Spaghetti + Soup + Drink = RM13.50
Set H : Seafood Cheese Bake Rice + Soup + Drink RM13.50
Set I : Mexi Chicken Ham Spaghetti + Soup + Drink = RM13.90







Soup - No, this is not what we expected but we won't be surprised it's being served so since this is a value meal. The soup is 'instant' type, got it?!


Set I = Mexi Chicken Ham Spaghetti

Set D = Drunken Chicken Noodle. Yup, it's instant noodle. Again, like the rice set, the noodle serving is small if compared to the drunken chicken.

Set C = Drunken Chicken Rice . This time we 'seng muk' already, ADD RICE! Additional bowl rice is charged at RM1 each. Six of us sharing three bowls. "Hmm.......macam ini lah baru FULL...." :)

This handmade T is matching the colour of Tutti Frutti deco! Chio boh?!

Haven Delights Buffet

Haven Delights Buffet @ Times Square

The ambience is cozy and cool.




This corner (counter items) is a little bit beh khi.


Winter melon soup, pretty oily. Why not serving some lou for tong uh? :)

GREEN TEA is totally beh khi. Not only the colour is out, it has no green tea taste at all.

This is the ONE! :) This has been served as my drink instead. I had a few bowls of this.

Cold Cut (冷盤) - all the cold dishes tasted good!

Tako Sunomono (章魚醋物) [1 serving]

Eel Tofu (鳗魚豆腐) [1 serving]

Higawari Chukamono (每日醋物) & Hijiki (日式海帶絲) [1 serving]

Sashimi Karapachio (西日刺身) [2 servings]

Hotzz Abalone (熱熱鲍魚片) [this is for 3 servings]. We ordered 12 servings in total. :)



Sashimi (刺身)

Shichiten Sashimi -3 kind 7 pcs (七) 刺身 - Very fresh.

[for 2 servings]

[for 1 serving]

Chuan Hua Fish (川花魚) -forgot to take photo! This one tasted very good! Recommended!

The main dishes of can cater for 3-4 persons therefore it's recommended to order ONE serving only to test the taste.

Orange Pork Chop (橙汁豬排) [1 serving] - So So ONLY! Avoid ordering this lah.

Hong Xiang Spicy Lamb (紅香辣味羊) [1 serving]- This one also not bad.

Japanese Yaki Udon ( 日式烏冬麵) [1 serving] - This one VERY beh khi! From this dish alone, I know it's not that en tao chef who cooked one! Hmm! No Jap feel and very salty.

Chawan Mushi ( 茶碗蒸) [1 serving is 1 cup]- SO SO only. Why? The steamed egg texture is a tad solid. Waiting time long though.

Daily Steamed Fish ( 每日蒸魚) [for 1 serving] - So So only.

So small serving leh! I expected the whole tail of fish with head one! : )

Unagi Mushi ( 酒香鰻魚蒸) [for 1 serving] -This one is really good!

Due to the waiting time is too long for this dish, we ended up had multiple orders.

Salmon Teriyaki (照燒鮭魚) [1 serving] - Pretty good.

Salmon No.1 (鮭魚第一號) [1 serving] - Pretty good too. Fresh salmon.

Motoyaki Scallop ( 辣味扇貝) - How can we skip ordering this?! :) Juicy medium size.

[2 servings]

[2 servings]

Mix Tempura ( 盛合天婦羅) [1 serving] - Not bad at all.

Red Dragon Golden Squid & Prawn (火龍雙鮮) [1 serving] - so so only. Too sweet.

Agedashi Tofu (日式炸豆腐) [1 serving] - Pretty good!

Sawa Kani Tempura (炸小蟹) [1 serving] - No good. The flour is too thick OH NO!

In overall it's an enjoyable meal! Since there are only four of us AND none of us are buffet-stomached, we couldn't afford to eat a lot actually.

The buffet concept is same like TAO Japanese Restaurant. We had the same THIRSTY experience here, just like what we had after eating at TAO. Perhaps we ate too much of Hotzz Abalone (熱熱鲍魚片) and Motoyaki Scallop ( 辣味扇貝)?!
