No Eye Deer Restaurant (Invited Review)

No Eye Deer Restaurant @ Prima Tanjung

I was impressed since my first visit to NO EYE DEER a few years ago. I still remember how my Spaghetti Marinara tasted like at here.

Top left where you can see watermelon cubes : Wacky Wizard (RM8.80) Delicious & wacky smoothie of mango yoghurt & pineapple. I dislike the taste of this smoothie as it's sourish + sweet at the same time. I believe it's very much dependent upon the fruit source of that day.

Top right where you can see the one with green apple cubes : Drama Queen (RM8.80) Glamarous smoothie of pink guava & pineapple with sour plum. Sourish taste all along.

Bottom : Chunky Monkey (RM8.80) : A rich and delicious banana smoothie with ice cream & chunky peanuts. Out of the three smoothies, I favoured this Chunky Monkey the most! I could taste a good combination of banana + peanuts blended with frangance.

Wacky Wizard & Pink guava juice (RM4.20) . There are also Lassi available which are priced at RM4.80 each.

Laotian Laksa (Beef or Chicken) RM12.80 [My rating : 9/10]
NoEyeDeer famous signature dish of rice noodle in a spicy & piquant soup with tender beef or chicken, bean sprouts and basil. This is my favourite dish of that night! I seriously fell in love with this dish. I particularly liked the beef version. The beef was tenderly-cooked. Slurping the soup, topped with rice noodle plus that aromatic basil all in one scoop was simply awesome! I couldn't stop but scooping more and more for that appetizing soup !

Chicken Parmigiana (RM18.80) [My rating : 6/10]
Italian styled chicken fillet with stewed tomato and Mozarella cheese. Served with mash potato and salad. This is best eaten when it's served hot. The chicken was a bit dried, not that up to my expectation; perhaps due to our long photoshooting time. I was impressed last time when we had it here .

Today Special : Meaty Beef Pie (RM16.80) [My rating : 5/10]

Served with golden french fries & fresh crisp cos lettuce. The beef stuffed inside was a lil bit too sweet to my liking though. I prefer to have some other side dishes to balance up my tastebuds after each sweet bite of that beef.

Pan grilled Sea Bass with white sauce (RM19.80) [ My rating : 7/10]

Pan-grilled white fish fillet with a tangy white sauce and served with fresh crisp salad & mashed potato. I dislike thick creamy sauce but this white sauce version seemed to be OK for me. However, I still prefer their Chilli Lime Sea Bass more (click here ) as it's more refreshing and appetizing, just like the Laotian Laksa.

Chicken Cheddar Sausage (RM15.80) [My rating : 8/10]

Smoked chicken sausages served with mashed potato and salad. I liked this one too! Their sausages have never failed to please me, frankly. It's a safe-to-order dish as it still tasted good even after long exposure time! (photoshooting lah, what else uh?! :p)

Not too sourish, dipped with the special sauce made me a happy lady!

Traditional Grilled Steak (RM29.80) [My rating : 8/10]

Char-grilled tender beef steak with traditional rich brown gravy and served with homemade mashed potato, broccoli & carrots. The look from my photo here may be ugly but please dear, this is a dish which you could never judge by its look. It was juicy and tender, I would say it matched well with the brown gravy.

Caveman Platter (for 3-5 pax) RM68.00 [ My rating : 6/10]

Mixed platter of char-grilled lamb, chicken kebabs, chicken sausages, chicken wings & pepper lamb sausages. Wow! This came as our very last dish as a CARNIVOROUS feast! :) OH NO, soooo BIG SERVING ah? I had difficulty capturing the best shot for this dish as it's ALL black, gosh! :p

The grilled lamb was OK in overall although some parts were over-grilled. I found that the chicken wings were a lil' bit too dry. The sausages were like what I expected, a 'safe' item to consume despite some charred area. The chicken kebab was surprisingly succulent and I like it when it's balanced up with some green sweet pepper/ capsicum annum.

Coffee Jelly (RM5.80) [ My rating : 7/10]

'Frantastically refreshing" Japanese Jelly dessert served with silky fresh cream and syrup (voted Best Jelly in Malaysia by readers of 'The Star' Newspaper 23rd March 2008)

I was a bit doubtful "The best jelly in Malaysia huh?" at my first scoop. But then after having more scoops I started to like it! It's a creative recipe indeed to come out with such coffee-taste jelly and not the usual pudding that we used to eat. It's a healthy LIGHT dessert.

Upside Down Ice Cream (RM4.80) [ My rating : 6/10]

Double scoop of vanilla ice cream drizzled with melted chocolate and roasted nuts served with a wafer cone in an ingenuous way.

This is the first invited review that I have ever had whereby we were given freedom to choose whatever dishes we want from the menu. I 'salute' to the boss, Mr Ken Low for his generosity, courage and also confidence. Also thanks Steven for the organization.
