Satay Boy - SB Mee Rebus and Tahu Goreng

So you all remember our first visit to Satay Boy right?
That's right. This is the place with the #KTTF Wings! Well, we've got something else this time.
And believe it or not - Satay Boy is actually really famous for this dish!

Mee Rebus Paru ($4.00)

Satay Boy's mum actually handles this end of the stall and we are talking about some really old school Mee Rebus here. And you can really make it a full meal if you're up for it!

I guess for Mee Rebus the most important part is the kuah.
Noodles and garnishing is not too complicated but getting the taste and consistency of the kuah is the toughest part of a good serving of Mee Rebus.

I'm glad to say that the Mee Rebus here definitely passes the test! The kuah is tasty and just the right consistency. It's not super thick and it doesn't get too watery too quickly even if you take your time to savour the dish.

The serving of noodles is really generous and to top if off, some Paru aka Beef Lung really hits the spot if you're looking for some extra bite in your Mee Rebus.

But that's not all! They actually have more Mee Rebus Combos for you if you're up for it!
Tetel, Ayam, Hati Ayam, Tongkeng Ayam, Kaki Ayam and even Babat can be added to your Mee Rebus!! Feeling super hungry? Then go for the MEE REBUS ALL OUT which includes everything you see above! LOL paradise for some I'm sure!!

Tahu Goreng ($3.00)

Never realized until today that Mein Brudder is actually the Tahu Goreng guy.
Apparently, he gives this his seal of approval too.

Pretty standard dish of tahu with some peanut gravy which was actually pretty tasty. Generous serving of cucumber and bean sprouts too. I didn't really have much because I was stuffed with the Tahu Goreng but I know the gravy was definitely tasty.

Adam's Verdict:
Mee Rebus Paru 4/5 -- Tahu Goreng 2.5/5

Azlan's Verdict:
Tahu Goreng 3/5

So when you visit Satay Boy, you actually have quite a wide array of choices to choose from.
Besides the #KTTF wings, got Mee Rebus, Soto and even Tahu Goreng. I'll bet you have a hard time choosing when you get there because confirmed wanna makan all LOL.

And don't forget to check out updates on the Satay Boy Instagram page to check if they are open/closed.

Saffrons Cafeteria - Appam

Appam ($2.00)

The first time I visited Saffron in the morning (AGES AGO!!), I saw people eating this. I didn't know what it is because I'm actually quite a jakun sometimes but it did look quite appealing albeit not-so-filling. I found out it was called Appam but I didn't order it.

Over the years, I never really got around to ordering it for 2 reasons...
#1 - I seldom went to Saffron in the mornings and when I did, it was already sold out.
#2 - Even if I did go in the mornings, I would probably have the Roti Prata.

And finally, one fine day when we went down to Saffron for breakfast, my darling wife ordered it!

The Appam itself is actually made from rice flour (which been mixed in with some yeast so it ferments a little bit) and also coconut milk to give it that yummy rich coconut-y flavour. This is similar to the batter they use to make Kuih Makokeh!

The Appam batter is then cooked in a tiny bowl-shaped pan til the sides are crispy. I've read some recipes where they will add an extra dollop of coconut milk in the middle just before they get the Appam out of the pan. I'm not sure if they do this at Saffron but I suspect that they do!! The guy cooks the Appam outside of their normal kitchen so I must be sure to watch him closely the next time....

Well, whether he does this or not, the Appam is delicious.
It has a nice rich flavour and I absolutely love the crispy edges which make this a great breakfast item. I'm not sure if this is how they do it everywhere but Saffron's is a winner.

The 'Orange' Sugar

I know I know there's gonna be some debate about what this is actually called.
My Mother-In-Law (whom I go to when I need to check on Malay stuff most of the time) says it's called Gula Tanjung. Online, I've read online that it is called Gula Merah but who knows. I guess everyone calls it something. I'm gonna refer to it as The 'Orange Sugar'.

This is one of the preferred condiments when eating Appam because it gives a nice sweet contrast to the coconut-y flavour of the Appam. But you can always have it with some curry or Dhal instead and it will be just as delicious.

Adam's Verdict:
Appam 3.5/5

Maryah's Verdict:
Appam 4/5

This is a breakfast item you should try at least once so you know if you like it or not. And please don't wait like years upon years like me!! Prata anytime also can have... try the Appam!!

PS you can add on additional Appam at $1.00 each for all you fellow gluttons out there :D
Snd be sure to go early because it sells out fast!

Burger King - King Dogs

When I first heard my Brother tell me that he ad hotdogs from BK, I thought to myself "No lah cannot be... their current promo is the Rendang Burger what..."

And then I realized why there was no fanfare and no ads about the new BK King Dogs. That's because they are not really a promo item but actually part of BK's Star Buys line-up. And that also means they should be really cheap am I right???

King Dogs ($2.00 each)

So Burger King branch out a little further than burgers and came up with a close relative - the hotdog.
I know our first reaction will be "Burger King should be burgers what right..." but wait wait let's see what they have to offer before we jump to any conclusions.

They have 2 types to offer us - Honey Mustard & Ketchup and BBQ & Mayo.
Of course the sauces are doused over a chicken sausage which lies in between a hotdog bun.
Sounds like a relatively simple idea right?

Well, let me tell you something - these King Dogs rock!!

Honey Mustard

BBQ & Mayo

The one thing I simply must rave about is the actual sausage itself. It's a chicken sausage and it's definitely of a good quality. Besides having a nice bite to it, it's actually pretty tasty too! I was not expecting much for the price I was paying but I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised and the sausage is definitely the main draw here.

My Brother said that the buns were really soft too and I guess he was right they were not bad.  But I do note that if you order takeaway and end up in an air-conditioned area, the buns tend to dry up or harden up a little so best to eat it while it's fresh and hot.

Sauce-wise I guess it's really up to your preference.
The Honey Mustard is our weapon of choice here. I guess the traditional notion is to have mustard and ketchup on your hotdog. I actually found the BBQ & Mayo quite mundane to be honest.

Adam's Verdict:
Honey Mustard & Ketchup King Dog 4.5/5 -- BBQ & Mayo King Dog 2.5/5

Azlan's Verdict:
Honey Mustard & Ketchup King Dog 4/5 -- BBQ & Mayo King Dog 3/5

The place that we are most likely to have a hotdog nowadays is when we watch a movie at the cinema. Well, I think it might slowly change to BK from now on because these King Dogs are actually really something. After a few disappointing products from BK, I have to say this is a step in the right direction.

And the low price of $2.00 makes it a very very good snack on the go. And they even have it available for breakfast too! You can have a King Dog, Cheese Fries and Coke Float and you'll still spend less than $5.00 for a whole meal!!

If Burger King might consider some feedback - maybe they should also have a 3rd flavour...
CHEESE AND CHILLI KING DOG!!!! #justsaying

Haji Daliman Korner - Mee Rebus

So it was one of those days where we happened to wander a little further than usual...
Found ourselves in the area of Vivo City and Harbourfront when hunger pangs suddenly struck and boy were we ready for a big ol' meal!

But what to eat?! So many choices?
Vivo? Harbourfront? Wait, let's go across to Seah Im!

So I go off to find my food and my darling wife returns with a right grin on her face...
Hmmmm....

Mee Rebus ($3.00)

No wonder she was grinning... One of her faves!

So the Mee Rebus actually comes on its own by the way... Adding on the Bagedil and keropok brought it up to $3.00 for the whole bowl. The Mee Rebus alone was $2.50. I'm not really sure how they counted but this was a very good price for all the goodies we got!

The Mee Rebus was apparently excellent. The kuah was tasty and a nice consistency. Not at all watery. "Very sedap!!" says my darling wife.

I guess Mee Rebus is one of those dishes that can be either really good or really bad.
Taste is one thing but consistency of the gravy is also an important factor and Haji Daliman seems to pass the test.

Maryah's Verdict:
Mee Rebus 4/5

So many goodies at Seah Im and apparently Mee Rebus is one of them.
I would never have thought to buy it and it's a good thing my wife bought or we would have missed out!!

Prima Deli: Mother's Day Special 2014

Advertorial

Abundant Love (back) & Pink of Roses (front)

PrimaDeli is back again with some great cakes to celebrate with someone who definitely deserves some cake and so much more - MOTHERS!!

That's right! Mother's day is back again (11th May 2014 for those who were wondering) and mums definitely deserve to sit back and relax. The least we can do to reward them is spend some time with them and celebrate with some cake!

If you remember, we celebrated Mother's Day last year with PrimaDeli (read HERE)
PrimaDeli offers us 2 fine cake creations this year to satisfy varying tastes. One to satisfy any chocolate lover and one for those who prefer something a little bit more light on the palate but no less decadent.
 

Pink Of Roses ($26.00)

The Pink Of Roses cakes is a definite choice for mums who LOVE CHOCOLATE!!
It looks pink on the outside but underneath the fresh cream roses, you'll find a luscious chocolate sponge cake covered with a rich chocolate ganache.

Mouth watering yet? (Cos mine is!)
Cake weighs approximately 600g by the way.

Abundance of Love ($48.40)

The one got to personally try is called Abundance of Love and I think you can see why!
This cake is packo full of goodies and a little of bit of something for everyone to enjoy!
Let me give you a better view...

Whoa! Take a look at that!

Peach slices, Strawberries, Kiwi, Gooseberries and white chocolate flowers on top!
The sides of the cakes are lined with white chocolate 'wooden planks' so it looks like you're delivering a box of flowers and fruits to mum! Creative or what!

The cake itself is a moist Vanilla sponge with Salted Caramel Cream, almond flakes and chocolate pearls to give it a little bit more bite. This one weighs about 1.2kg.

I quite actually enjoyed the cake. I guess it's a break from the usual chocolate cakes we normally have so it's nice to have a bit of variety. Lots of new and unique cakes out there nowadays and this is definitely one of them!

Both Pink of Roses and Abundance of Love cakes will be available from 17th April (NOW) til 11th May 2014 (Mother's Day itself) so plenty of time but don't wait til the last minute! Sekali sold out how!!
