Phad Thai, Taipan USJ

Suka tomyam pekat bersantan bersusu sikit tak?..Haa meh nak rekomen 1 spot baekk punya nih..Phad Thai..Penah terbaca psl tempat ni kat paper, surfing tgk bloggers promo so satu hari tu pegi try tgk sendiri..Sudah sgt teringin.. Pure Thai restaurant whose workers are mainly Siamese.. Even the owner is Siamese..The place is named after a signature dish of Thailand called "Phad Thai", which is kinda kuey teow goreng in Malaysia.. Main attraction to me mestila tomyam die..Layan pic kat bwh dulu..

Entered the place, I already had in mind what to have for dining..Yet I still went thru the menu..So many to choose from and the price is yet still affordable though..

Menu that would tempting you straight away...

Done with browsing the menu, I chose what I had in mind earlier but added with a dessert..It seems only me chose to have dessert than others.. Hehehe..Tamak haloba nak mkn..Foods that have been ordered were as follows..

The top pic is ommelete yet not a typical one..The actual name in the menu is Bangkok bla bla..Ooohh I can't recall the name..Sedap gile kut.. Telur dadar ni ade inti udg dlm die..Sgt gebu, rangup sikit2 tapi a bit oily..Boleh mkn 2-3 org...Price at RM7.90 if not mistaken..

Yg kat atas tu sotong goreng..Big size of squid, batter die rangup and the squid itself is light n tender..Aku x suka jenis sotong goreng tepung sampai kecut n kering air dlm sotong tu..Liat..Yg ni perfect..Rubbery enough..Cicah dgn ori Thai chilly sauce..Harga RM9.90..

 

Here come the signature dish..Tomyam seafood..Don't get confused with the one of clear soup..You can check in the menu..This is of code T5..Tomyam nye bersantan sikit, pekat, pedas n cukup rasa..Seafoodnye agak byk..Udang, sotong, ketam, isi ikan siakap n kulat (mushrooms)..I so love the taste!!..Yg penting x bersampah-sarap dgn serai, lengkuas halia segala bagai..4/5 aku bg..Harga RM15.90..

 

Finally my dessert..It's called Tub Tim Krob..Kat bahagian bawah tu ice yg dah hancur, tuang air santan atas die..And topped with water chestnut (sengkuang cina) dgn hirisan nangka..1st time mkn water chestnut tu.. Not bad la..Bende ni sedap but unfortunatle I had it after my stomach is full with those lauk-pauk n nasi..Price at RM3.90..

I didn't order any special drink..Based on reviews of others, quite some of the drinks that customers are so recommended to try..Next time perhaps.. Overall, this place is satisfying enough for an almost-pure-and-authentic-yet-so-affordable Thai foodplace..You can simply have the taste of Chakri Express, Sri Ayuthaya or other high-end Thai restaurant, here at cheaper price..Portion of food here is generally for 2-3 persons..Except for those nasi goreng n noodles..

Mcm mana nak pegi kan?..It is located mainly in the Taipan USJ area, opposite to the multilevel parking at the heart of Taipan..If you are coming from the MPSJ junction with MPSJ on your left side, go straight and you'll come to a small right turn going into Taipan..Take the turn, go straight a bit and you'll see McD on your right side..There's a right turn junction exactly near to the mcD..Take the right turn, then a left turn (with Station One cafe being at the corner) and you'll come to the small road where Phad Thai is located..It should be on your left..Refer to the map below..

.: SATAY MADURA NYUMMEHHH:.

Tengok kat 8TV Best of The World tu terus blog pasal kedai ni and semalam pegi usha n MAKAN!!..Nama tempat ni mmg Satay Madura..Penah msk JJCM juga...

                           Banner depan kedai..Xde signboard..

Tempat ni warung je and FYI, Kayu Ara ni area Melayu tapi ramai mendatang.. The owner is originally from Madura..Husband n wife..They rent the place at night to sell the satay..This place sells specific dish only (as displayed on the banner)..But more choices for drinks (typical warung drinks).. So went with a friend and we ordered the satay and bakso.. Chicken and beef..

           

 Bakso with red sauce (right) and without (left)..My friend  wanna taste the soup solely without any sauce but with the ra w chilli..Heh2..  

           

                  The satay                            Extra joss (right) and teh o ais

The satay taste not much different from ours except that, it is not much marinated as our typical satay..Eating satay Madura is like eating the pure barbequed chicken and beef..Looking at the raw satay, it isn't look as yellowish as ours..Ayam nampak putih mcm isi asal and daging nampak merah mcm isi asal..Even the owner said that they do not marinate for a long time..Cutting into pieces, put onto stick and straight away go for business (yes indeed the satay taste fresh and tender).. The beef is nice and to be truth, the feeling is simply like eating the typical steak of Western restaurant (am I exaggerating??)..Kuahnye masih kuah kacang (dgn kacang yg lebih halus), but top up with sliced hot chillies and shallots as well as a bit of sweet thick soy sauce..And that combination is.. MARVELLOUS!!..They have kambing but I didn't order..

While the bakso, taste so good and original(as expected)..But I was a bit frustrated with the meatball..Supposedly, the pure Indonesian bakso I always had, comes with tennis-ball size of meatball and the smaller one.. But not for this place..Yet the taste did satisfy me enough to ignore  the meatball issue..Extra joss is sort of energy drink for Indonesians (org Indon keje kat site suka sgt air ni)..The ingredients include some ginseng and royal honey but the taste is simply delicious..A bit gassy yet the rest feel like you are drinking the Vitagen..It comes with various fruit flavors like anggur, epal, jambu..

*note to Shah Alam people..This is the real Extra Joss instead of the one we usually had at the Ayam Penyet Pdg. Jawa..;)*

This place is just a typical local eating area..Nothing so posh but looking at other blogs, the place is visited by all Malays and Chineses (despite the Indonesian themselves)..Parking is a bit difficult, tapi boleh park dekat opposite commercial building within a walking distance..Parking berbayar la tapi..

                                           gambar tuu..Cantik kan)


In summary:
Price: Within budget
Taste: Delicious
Cleanliness: More than average
Parking: Could be worked out  
Overall: Total satisfaction  


This place is located at Jalan Cempaka, Kayu Ara..Talking bout the direction, the simplest is by using the NKVE..Take the Damansara exit.. After the toll, you have come to the Kayu Ara area on your right and left side n the place is on the right side that you need to go into the opposite road.. So, DO NOT, even accidentally take the flyover heading to the SPRINT link but take the left ramp at the flyover and u-turn..After u-turn, straightly take the first left (before the newly built commercial building, I couldn't recall the name)..And just about 100m, you'll see the shop on your left, near to a surau..

~Wadihana Islamic Steakhouse ~

Lama x update blog nih..Pemalas tahap gaban wpun byk bende bermain di fikiran..This time around nak story bab eating places that I've been to.. Well to be frank..I tried those places based on bloggers and recommendation of magazines..So the first and foremost is called Wadihana Islamic Steakhouse, a Western eatery located in Bangi..A 100% Bumiputera operated and I have to say, this place is highly recommended for people looking for real taste of Western but not of too expensive in price as in Tony Roma's, Chillis, bla2..Well yep this outlet is incomparable to the later but of their price range, I'd say the quality and taste is close to those standard western restaurant and SURELY not a typical food-court-Malay-like western food..

Tempat msk pizza..Mcm Italiano tuu..

Dining area

 

Apina ssn pinggan nak makan..Hahaha

The place is kinda nice of ambiance..Not so much of a high class western place tapi x cikai langsung la..I'd say..Suasana Melayu tu terasa lagi..X poyo sgt..Ok2 je..

Now the main story is the food..Dalam konteks Western restaurant operated by Malay n berdasarkan lidah dan tekak aku, I'd give 4/5.. Seriously man..This place is cool..I just hate those places claim to sell western food which at the end you'll get tipikal coleslaw, timun n tomato or baked bean for their side dish.. this place..They give you grill veges (fav gua!)..Lets scroll on the menu k..

Foods that we have ordered..I can't really recall their exact name and generally I've to say..All are worth to have..

                 Creme brulle (kut namanya..haha)

                         Nachos with beef

                          Tuna sandwich

      Arabian Seafood Spaghetti (mcm marinara cuma lebih pedas)

       Grilled chicken chop (siap ade pillaf rice for sides)

                            Air longan

   Black pepper manual (penuh tekun abg ipar guna bende alah tu)


Price range for the food is between RM5-RM35..Again I have to say this place is highly recommended..Lokasi kedai ni di Bandar Baru Bangi..


Basically kalau dari KL,Seremban or Shah Alam, msk je highway Sg.Besi tu n amik exit Kajang..Lps tol straight ikut signboard Bangi sampai la ke simpang T yg last, xde terus2 dah, sama ada knn or kiri je..Korg amik kiri..Nampak deretan rmh kedai sebelah knn, kedai ni kat area tu la..Bwh ni Google map yg korg boleh folo..
