Revive

Well, this blog has been kind of "dead" for a while due to the much changes in Twinz 1 and 2 lives. We each got new responsibilities and new job and so really didn't have time to blog and update this place but hopefully, I will try to get all the past foodie posts up first and then thereafter bring back some life to this little place.

Margaret Drive

Margaret Drive Food Centre is a haven of good food from Char Kway Teow, fried carrot cake, white coffee, chicken rice and popiah. Dropped by the other day wanting to try the Char Kway Teow but it was not open so settled for the fried carrot cake, popiah and white coffee instead. YUMMY!

Ye Lai Xiang

Ye Lai Xiang has been around since 1939 and supposedly sell delicious Cheng Tng and Dried Squid. Once it's opened, you can see customers of all races (including Malay) savouring a bowl of either the hot or cold Cheng Tng. Other than being generous with their ingredients, another unique feature of their cold Cheng Tng is use of ice tiny balls instead of crushed ice so you won't feel you are eating chunks of ice instead of the real thing. It serves really nice dessert and I believe Mummy, dearest would love their Cheng Tng.

Thanying Restaurant

In celebration of moi's new job, Moi bought mom and twinny here to celebrate. It reminds us of our childhood days where daddy bought us here once every year whenever it's bonus time. The atmosphere remains the same, the staff still wore the traditional Thai costume and the food still as superbly yummy! Except for the traditional thai platter which we didn't fancy too much, the rest was just fingers licking.

In clockwise starting Top left corner : (1) Mango salad (2) Pomelo salad (3)Fried fish - appetizer (4) Traditional thai platter (5) stir fried kang kong (6) Red ruby - dessert (7) Mango with sticky rice - dessert (8) Green curry (9) Fried garoupa with thai sweet & sour sauce (10) Tom yam soup

With a Pinch of Salt

Someone recommended this place that was featured on TV and was very much similar to a restaurant in Thai with similar theme. So Moi went there not once but twice. First time with SuSe and second time with twinny and family. Little Aka went "wild" in such a decorated cafe. She kept us so busy, climbing up and down the platform and trying to pull down the cloth cover of the piano. Phew!! She was such a rascal.

We loved the banana with bacon. It's really a very unique way of combining fried bacon with banana. Sweet and crispy taste. Portion was rather BIG here so if you are a small eater, you can consider sharing with another. An example is "Mr MacDonald". SuSe could finish his.

Mr MacDonald

It tasted ok when I ate it for the first time but when Twin's hubs tried it (after my recommendation), we found the meat having a strong uncomfortable smell. We fedback to the management and they asked us to select another dish to replace instead. So the man ordered "Mr Dory Pan - Seared" instead. I would say they are better with fish than meat. The 2 fish dishes with and without sambal tasted quite well.

Hongkong Streets

For a restaurant in town area, the price is rather reasonable and cheap. Moi found the cooking a little oily but overall, still very platable. It seems more like some local Chinese cuisine rather than Hongkong streets food and it might be a much pleasant place to stay around if not for the blasting MTV...
