Food Review : Pla Dip

07Feb10

Thanks to Stef, I was invited to for a food testing at a newly open restaurant at Sri Kembangan. Its call Pla Dib which means raw in Thai.

Its a Thai based restaurant with fusion dishes, something very new, yet close to heart. They are familiar to us, yet its innovative and they taste really good too!

Must try items:

- Appetizer : Tofu Avocado Salad

- Main : Creamy pasta with ebiko (similiar to Mentaiko pasta)

- Main : Rainbow Trout (very fresh and fragrant from the baking process)

- Main : Linguini with Thai Anchovies (if you like anchovies “salted fish” and also if you have not tried fresh pepper before, this would be a great dish to try)

- Main : Black Fried Rice, the black colour comes from squid ink, its not toxic, dont worry Serves with raw egg, you pour it over, mix it and serve. Something different and a must try for sure

I take my desserts seriously, specially when it comes to a restaurant, a bad dessert just kills the night. The red rubies here did a very good job, unlike many other red rubies I’ve had, this one does not come with shaved ice, but shaved coconut milk instead! oh what joy ~ creamy but light enough to finish it all by yourself. You will also be surprised with some berries and lemongrass hidden inside. Excellent!

Dinner @ Boathouse Review

25Dec09

Boathouse situated at TTDI, Kuala Lumpur has been around for some time now , we hang around this place usually after dinner and with our pets too, yes, this is the one few places which are pet-friendly. KUDOS!

Anyways, the last time i had dinner at Boathouse was really quite some time ago and frankly i didnt really enjoy it that much. HOWEVER, we decided to have our Xmas Eve dinner there last night and whoa….I’m impress at the improvement of their food.

We had the Pumpkin Soup & Beef Carpacio with rockets for starters, both excellent! The Pumpkin soup had bacon bits, and as you know,….anything with bacon tastes good! haha

For the mains, we had the….flaming beef steak (very juicy, tender and cooked to perfection), deconstructed lamb cutlets was also very good and we ordered two other poultry dishes and thats the chicken with mustard seeds (the chicken was soft and not dry at all) and I had the Duck Breast which turned out better than expected! It wasnt heavy, had heaps of grilled veges and potatoes and it had a slight tinge of citrus in the sauce. Very nice.

As for the sweets, we had mango and peach pie ice cream and the banana and bread pudding baked to order! Although the waiting time for the pudding was rather long, but the wait was well worth it!
