Foodventure - Andes BYO (Aman Suria)
Ok so I stepped in with the intent of trying out the pork burger, but other things on the menu struck my fancy so instead, we ended up ordering the items below:
Pork chop (RM15.90) - Comes with coleslaw, black pepper/white sauce and selection of fries/rice/mash/spaghetti. Verdict: Ok ok only la...
Spaghetti Marinara - This was pretty nice when eaten with chilli flakes, and as you can see, there was a satisfactory serving size of seafood as well.
Porky Pork Grill (RM16.90) - The reason I didnt order the pork burger. This was pretty nice, meat was well seasoned and well cooked. My only complaint would be that the black pepper sauce was somehow, kinda bland.
Aussie Bacon Burger (RM15.90) - Looks nice aye? Makes me feel like trying the pork burger next time round. Also comes with coleslaw and choice of fries/rice/mash/spaghetti.
Grilled chicken (RM15.90) - Also pretty nicely done.
To finish off our dinner - Cookies and Cream Cake with Ice-cream! Also ok- ok only la...
Overall quite a delightful dining experience and also cheap. Would definitely pay another visit in the near future.

Foodventure: Ad Hog, Kota Damansara
The shop's hard to spot as well as there isn't a signboard so just look for an orange & black shop with a chalkboard at the front. Lemme just say this before you decide against going on this quest, THE SEARCH IS WORTH IT.
Check out the interior deco:
A simple chandelier lighting up our table.
Their rustic and classic deco, me likey.
3 little piggies on the table :)
As usual, I ordered a coffee and was pleasantly surprised to find that they served lavazza (RM6) !! Awesomes ;)
Ice blended lime juice. Though a tad expensive (RM5.50) it was really refreshing and you can tell that they used none of that cordial crap, this thing here was pure lime juice (hence a little sour too).
Water was complimentary and served in wine bottles. Nice touch!
Then came our appetizer: Gumbo soup (RM 12)
I can't really tell what was inside but it tasted like beefy minestrone soup without the tomato, with fragrant spices and spicy paprika powder. Doesn't sound like much but it was perfect as an appetizer.
And we kicked off our mains with: Pork shoulder steak (RM39). This was totally awesome man. Tender peppered lightly grilled steak served with tangy salad and mash.
Just look at it... So super tender and juicy... *drool*
Whilst we were halfway eating the owner came up to us and asked if we could tolerate spicy-ness. As we nodded our heads in unison he chucked this bowl of red thingy on our table which turned out to be HABANERO sauce. And surprisingly, it was goooood hehe. Went well with most of the meat dishes.
Next, BBQ ribs (RM39) and like all mains, came with tangy salad and mash. Not as mouthwatering as the previous dish but yummy all the same. There wasn't enough meat on the ribs though, as tasty as it was.
Next up, one of their specialties: Chicken Pog (RM49) It's like some chicken and sausage meat thingy wrapped in crispy bacon strips, super sinful but super the yumz. This went really well with the aforementioned habanero sauce :)The side salad was this concoction of fruits and veg and I really can't tell what dressing they used cuz it just made the whole salad so appetizing that my friends and I just loved it.
This... was DA BOMB. Bliss served on a plate. Roast pork (RM39), people, the melt in your mouth kind. XD
Then we saw our neighbouring table having this dish and we found it intriguing so we ordered the Gamberi Vino (RM78) as well. 4 king prawns drizzled with cheese and soaked in red wine sauce. I don't know how they cooked the sauce but the alcohol in the wine was preserved and it went really well with the toasted baguette served.
And then we had to have dessert of course. Brownie with ice-cream (RM12) which would've been nothing special except they used molasses instead of chocolate syrup on the ice-cream.
Introducing the Ice-cream with rum (RM12). We should've ordered two of these instead of the brownie. Vanilla ice-cream on a martini glass with rum and laden with leong fun, atapchee, kidney beans and lychee. *Slurp*

The skin was perfectly crispy and there was a perfect proportion of meat and fat in each piece and the moment you crunch it in your mouth..... wooo..... heaven :)
For those who're not that fond of that porky smell and taste, the sauerkraut when eaten together, masks the porky smell just well. Not too much, not too little.

Baking Attempt #3 : Rummy Fruit Cake
It's that time of the year again for scrumptious yummy wummy rummy fruit cakes!! Woot
A friend decided to do a fruit cake experiment this year so I just had to join in the fun. =p
Behold the ingredients.
Recipe found online :D
We followed it almost exactly, only left out the golden syrup and vanilla essence, and changed the mixed spice to cinnamon.
Before and after mixing in the brown sugar.
(L)The creamy butter + sugar mixture with 4 eggyolks added in one at a time.
(R) Egg white + baking powder, whisked till stiff.
Flour, salt, cinnamon and egg whites folded in.
In goes the soaked-in-rum-6-months-long fruits (lemon rind, mandarin peel, cherries and raisins).
Then the dough masuks the loaf tins and into the pre-heated oven!
Lookie lookie... Ok experiment not quite successful cuz not enough fruits in the cake. But the flavour was pretty ok. Will carry out experiment no.2 soon and hopefully we'll create fruit cakes good enough to sell =p haha
Fresh outta da oven.

OktoberFest 2010
Month long beer promotions and happy hour prices round the clock, what more can I ask for?? :D
Last year, I went for Eurodeli's Beerfest and spent about RM200 and felt a little cheated after that cuz, seriously, who spends RM200 at one time, on beer, during OKTOBERFEST?
So this year, I smarter a bit liao =p, went for Sid's Pub (Bukit Tunku) Beerfest instead and spent RM25. Only. For more beer than I got at Eurodeli's.
Score.
Sid's offered a wide range of draughts, including Strongbow, Kilkenny, Heineken, Guinness Stout bla bla bla. I personally don't like stout but we just had to take a stout moustache piccie each :D
This was taken right after Tiger beer was opened free flow for all. And an hour after that, ALL beers were FREE FLOW for all. Shucks man, I should've waited then I wouldn't even have needed to spend that RM25.
Smiling satisfied customers of Sid's Pub Bukit Tunku Beerfest 2010.
The two brands of beer we bought that day.
Anyone interested can head on down to One Utama today, event starts 6pm onwards. :)
__________________________________________________________________
And of course, one beerfest is never enough!
Went for another one at Sunway Giza, The Beer Factory :)
This one wasn't as cheap as the one at Sid's BUT they only served imported smooth as butter German butter. RM100 for 5 big bottles, ok what. Right? Came up to only about RM50 per person mah! (Self justification)
The two brands of beer we bought that day.
Beer Factory was having beer drinking competitions half the night as well. Quite funny seeing some people drink like mad then straight away puke into the black dustbin provided.
But really, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter which beerfest you go to... It's the people you go with that matter cuz it's the company that makes it fun. :)
AlrightZ!
It's now 29th Oct so it's time to head to another Beerfest before this glorious month ends. Hehe.
Anyone interested can head on down to One Utama today, event starts 6pm onwards. :)
See you there! Woot!!!

A friend told me about their renowned "P7 - Urban Legend"- a pork burger topped with bacon, melted cheese and a mix of petai and minced pork chilli con carne, and I knew I had to try it.

P3 : P2 + minced pork chilli con carne (RM23.80)
P4 : P3 + petai in patty (RM25.80)
P5 : P4 + cajun grilled prawns (RM28.80)
P6 : P5 + grilled fresh cut pineapples (RM30.80)
P7 : P4 + melted cheese (RM28.80)

No cellotape gathering is complete without dessert :) Shown above is their homemade oreo ice-cream (RM12.80) and [inset] Apple pie a la Mode (RM12.80).
Wasn't a fan of their apple pie but the oreo ice-cream was pretty good :) kinda like oreos Mcflurry except with more oreos.
We only ordered 3 drinks in total. The Black Monkey (L)- Coke + Mango juice , Green Heaven (R) - Apple + Lychee juice and Cristang Special Coffee (not shown in pic) - coffee + sugarcane.
Both mocktails were too sweet and Cristang Special was nothing special. Next time I'm sticking to beer since it'd probably go well with the pork burger =p

Pick of the week - Chilli Pan Mee
Chilli Pan Mee from Super Kitchen Restaurant.
Super yummy and only RM5.50!! First you add the amount of chilli as desired, then you break the runny egg yolk and mix the noodles well. And then, woah... awesome...
This definitely makes it into my list of top 10 local food :) I actually prefer Super Kitchen over Kin Kin mainly due to the service difference. Also because I think the noodle texture at Super Kitchen is nicer, but that's just me =p
