Geng's Corner (Upin Ipin) Seksyen 13 Shah Alam

My son was the one requested me to come here since the first day we moved to shah alam and discovered this makan spot, which was adjacent to the Les Copaque (Upin Ipin cartoon series) building.. So I pun layaaaaaannnnnnn

Front view. They are operating in a corner lot unit hence it was quite big. This restaurant is owned and operated by Les Copaque themselves

Environment: cozy. Nice with lots of Upin Ipin posters around. Cleanliness is perfecto

Dalam menu pun ada banyak gambar Upin Ipin and other characters in the cartoon series.

This chap in yellow decided to take the "Kwayteow goreng Upin"

What we ordered that night. Nasi Goreng USA, the so-called "Kwayteow goreng Upin",  Mee goreng singapore, sate ayam... Ermm mind me, I ate almost 3/4 of the Nasi Goreng USA then I realized the "obligation and responsibility" to take pictures for you guys to enjoy..hehe

The taste of the  nasi goreng USA is not that good. The beef gravvy was S.W.E.E.T! however the beef was cooked perfectly, soft and tender. The fried rice is so-so and could have been better. Overall not up to my expectation! However since it was sweet my 2-year old son loves it!

"Kwayteow goreng Upin".. Actually it is a normal kwayteow goreng but since there was this Upin character by the side of the picture in the menu book, my son called it by that name... layannnn

The taste? Also not up to my expectation. The dish was soo oily and the taste was quite awkward. Cant really describe the taste but it definitely failed my tastebuds!



Mee goreng singapore and satey ayam

The taste? imagine eating a noodle (mee kuning) mixed with some cooking oil, pepper, veges and some chicken and seafood, mix it and eat (without frying).. Sooooo mee!

The chicken satay is again S.W.E.E.E.E.E.T. luckily we only ordered 5 sticks, which we could not finish!!

So, FVR:

This restaurant really failed my tastebuds! Luckily it was not that far from our house...

It was such a waste... The environment was perfect, cosy, nice but the food is not up to par.... better luck next time ya!



Restoran Paksu Corner Seksyen 16 Shah Alam

As usual, I continue the journey to conquer my tastebuds....

Now it's the turn of a quite famous restaurant in Shah Alam, the Paksu Corner....

I've been there twice, once for lunch (pity much I didnt take pictures) and dinner. The review today is for the dinner service I had with my family some few days back...

Front View - I took this from their Facebook page.

Very cosy indeed!

The restaurant is HUGE. According to the website it can cater for a total of 350 people at one time

The (very long) place where they serve their lauk tengahari. They claimed to serve no less than 100 dishes, which I am confident it is true.. See the chap in green t shirt running tapi tak sampai sampai?

Okay, enough of  the place pics. Let's get down to business... Here are the dinner that we had that night:

Blackpepper grilled sirloin steak for me

The blackpepper sauce is superb. One of the best blackpepper sauce I've ever tasted. However the meat was a little bit overdone. The others was superb. Portion wise is more than enough for the price of RM13.90. OK what?

Blackpepper grilled chicken for wifey

The chicke is superb, moist and tender. Mixed with the superb blackpepper gravvy sauce, for me the dish was perfect! Even my 2 year old son loves this!

This chap has been longing for fried kwayteow since we moved to Shah Alam (I dunno how and why)...And he finished the whole plate by himself!

The fried kwayteow is so-so only. It's a bit spicy and overcooked but still is not bad at all...

On and all, the FVR I can give is:

A Full 5-star!

Another tastebuds conqueror indeed!!















Restoran Mohd Chan Abdullah (Muslim Chinese Food)

I have been here quite a time before but did not have the opportunity to provide review (well, blog ni pun baru lagi kan?)..

My interest in Chinese Food, especially Muslim Chinese food has been in me I think since I know what chinese food is..hehe. And having to move to Shah Alam provides me with the biggest opportunity to conquer my tastebuds with lots of chinese muslim food around... One of them is Restoran Mohd Chan Abdullah

Restoran Mohd Chan Abdullah Seksyen 15 Shah Alam

According to the website, there are 6 branches of the restaurant altogether. However the one that I went in Seksyen 15 Shah Alam was not included hence I would say there so far 7 branches in Klang Valley.

Enough of the talking..Let's get down to business...

Last night we went and decided to do some serious eating and ordered some 'serious dishes' as well hehehe


1) Dim Sum - This is a MUST order if you come here. For me the best dim sum so far! I would usually order 2 sets of dimsum for individual consumption! Hehe

Dim sum (circled in blue). I have to take the picture from their website as it was hard for me to even take out the camera to snap pics when the dimsum was served!

I only snapped the pictures after most of the dim sum was eaten up... Bad me!

2) Ikan Siakap (Barramundi) Sweet Sour





The fish is HUGE, which definitely can feed up to 4 people! The taste? Oklah since the name itself is sweet and sour so definitely it is sweet and sour.. My kids love them very much

I just have a big problem with calibrating my tastebuds towards any dishes that is red in colour. Currently my brain sends the signal to my tastebuds that all dishes with red colour would mean at least a pinch of hot and spicy taste... But sadly that may only apply in Johor, not in Shah Alam..??



3) Butter Prawn

This is definitely one of the best butter prawns I've ever had. Eventhough there were only 6 pcs of XL sized prawns for a plate of RM22, the taste kills all the frustrations. I just LLLOOVVE the net-like butter on top of the prawns (Yes, the yellow thingy you see in the picture above is NOT the prawns).


Some of the pictures of the whole story:

Nice cozy environment

The Start



The ultimate end...





1 guy anxiously waiting for food....



1 good thing is they have a very nice surau for prayers...makan2 jugak, solat jangan lupa bro!

The price... quite pricey but still reasonable considering the taste

FVR:

 

I am giving full marks to this makan place since they have never failed my high demand tastebuds even after trying almost all of their dishes! Cant stop dreaming to return! Seriously!!
