Today I'm going to cut short the whole "storytelling" process, and get straight to the point. Skipping all the blah-blah-blah thingy ;) I reckon people would be more keen on the food review rather than what is going on with my personal life, AND since this is a food blog and not my diary.

All right, let's head down straight to the food :D

Decided to have Korean BBQ today as the weather is rather good after a downpour in the late afternoon. It has been a while since I've come back to this place as I prefer the other Korean BBQ outlet at Taman Pelangi. Food here is more expensive comparatively but ambience wise, this place is excellent for hanging out with colleagues after work or with a group of friends. You sit atop a hill, enjoying the breeze from the sea, alfresco style under a hut and beside a colonial house. A wonderful setting to let time creeps away, as you enjoy the food and company.

Anyway, let's get back to the food. They have lesser varieties on the menu as compared to some of the other Korean BBQ outlets around and they are priced more towards the premium end. In my opinion, the food are relatively ok, not something that will make you go "Wow" or go "Ewwww". It's just in between, neither good nor bad. This being the case, but on weekends you will see alot of Korean expats from our neighbouring country, Singapore dropping by for their dinner, either after a day of swing or shopping.

My uncle is giving the family a Chinese New Year treat. The norm for every year during CNY is the visit to Restaurant Peikin for a pig-out session. It has been going on for many years, something like paying a pilgrimage thingy. His preferred choice is Peikin, can't recall a year which goes by that we didn't go there, not that I am complaining since I love the food over there as well, coupled with reasonable pricing.

This shop located at the intersection between Jalan Chengal and Jalan Meranti @ Taman Melodies, serves excellent Teochew style kuey tiao soup. The fish slices are fresh and so are the pig innards (which I'm not a fan of it). Usually my order would be dry mee (extra chilli sauce) with pork and fish slices. People who are a fan of spicy stuffs, should really ask them to provide you with more of the chilli sauce. It goes well with the noodles.

Just be prepared to wait up to 20 minutes during peak hours (breakfast/lunch hour), and they don't serve dinner. They are closed after 4pm, and sometimes earlier.

Today is the 1st day of the lunar new year. Due to the special occasion and to some extent, repeated servings of the same dishes for our past 2 meals, my Dad suggested going to Gianni for dinner tonight. I made a reservation for 5 in the afternoon, just to be safe. Was glad we made the reservation, as it was fully booked on both floors. I know it sounds weird to have Italian cuisine on the first day of Chinese New Year, but well our family is kinda different from the norm :P
