Ribs @ Oasis

Sorry for the lack of updates in my blog as you all know it's been a long holidays for most of us and we're all busy with our gathering, holidays or work. So here's my first update of the week. I'd got to know about this place from one of the local flogger. It's called Ribs @ Oasis which is located at BU4.

Pork Meatball Pasta - RM15.60

This is one of the recommended dish of the restaurant. Served in a really large bowl but with moderate amount of pasta only. The tomato based sauce was really plain and a bit watery too. The only good thing I could say about this dish is the meatballs. I think there were quite amount of it and the size are large. The meatballs tasted really nice though but even so it can't save the dish.

 

Chicken Mushroom & Olives Pasta - RM15.60

I am not sure why is the pasta looked so wet. I had a hunch that this wouldn't be that tasty at all. And my hunch was right on. Plenty of olives and also chunk of chicken but the taste wasn't that appetizing to say the least. My friend didn't even finished half of the plate. Sadly to say.

 

Hawaiian Pork Burger Delight - RM22.90

This is what I had ordered which is their burger with grilled pineapple and bacon. The patty was really filling and I really enjoy the whole meal. I think I am the only person who enjoyed their meal that afternoon. Totally love the side dishes of french fries. But maybe the price is a bit steep for a burger at the place. But then again, at least this burger save the afternoon or at least my lunch.

 

The ambiance of the restaurant was really good and neat. A good place for a nice lunch with friends or some light dinner with some good company. The location of the place isn't that obvious so for those who are not familiar with the place, it's quite hard to find it or even know bout it. They are having this New Year Eve dinner buffet which any of you could try it out of you're interested. From my experience and feedback, the pasta isn't that interesting but the burgers are something else. Something else in a good way of course. (Rating: 3.8 out of 5.0)

Tien Tien Lai @ Bandar Puteri

It's been week and I finally managed to dine at this restaurant called Tien Tien Lai or Fu Gua Thong (bitter gourd soup) restaurant. Trust me, the place will be pack till the road side after 6pm. So we arrived half pass five that day. It's located at the same row as Teow Chew Moi at Bandar Puteri. The place as the name says, served home cook meal with bitter gourd as the main dish. There are a few signature dish in the restaurant and we ordered a few of them namely the bitter gourd soup and also fried pork.

 Bitter Gourd Soup - RM10

This is their signature dish of the restaurant which is the bitter gourd soup. The soup isn't those that we drink at the normal restaurant. It's really strong and from the soup itself you can see they had added a lot of pork into it. There are plenty of pork and also some other parts in it. I am not into bitter gourd but heck this is one hell of a soup. A must order if you are eating in this place.

 

Bean Curd with Minced Meat - RM8

Wanted something simple hence the dish. If I am not mistaken the bean curd is not steamed or cooked. It's just fresh from the fridge but it's chilled in this case. Top with minced pork and it's ready to go. They also served bean curd with fried onion oil & Thai style bean curd.

Preserved Radish Omelet - RM8

As my brother is going vegetarian nowadays so we decided to ordered this preserved radish rather than the prawn omelet. Again it's crispy and plenty of radish but maybe a bit oily. But then again, it's hot and really nice to go with the other dishes. They have onion, minced meat and bitter gourd omelet to choose from.

Signature Fried Pork Belly - RM4/portion

This had got to be my favorite dish of the place. As you can see, it's pork belly and it's fried. I eat anything fried and in addition it's pork too. Delicious. It's freshly fried and it's half lean half fat and extra crispy. I had ordered two portion or slices for this plate. Trust me, it's juicy and finger licking good. Yummy!!!

 

 

Sweet Potato Leave with Garlic - RM8

This is a normal vegetable but I really like it as it's fresh and not too oily. Most importantly, plenty of garlic. I really like garlic in whatever food I am eating.

We were really full at the end of the meal and I was totally satisfied with the dishes. Even down to the bean curd and vegetable. Maybe it's because of the home style or feel from the dishes which make the place such popular among the residents. I will definitely be going back again for their signature fried pork again maybe for lunch or dinner. (Rating: 4.0 out of 5.0)

Tangkak Beef Noodle @ Jalan Imbi

Sorry for missing for a week (almost) without any updates on my blog but I was really caught up with a lot of stuff both work and outing with friends. So without further a due here's one of the place which I had visited just this weekend with my friends. Me and my friends was looking for a place for lunch around the Pink Triangle and finally we settled down with the famous Tangkak Beef noodle. To be honest I am really into beef noodle but when I realized that they only served soup noodle, I was really disappointed. But anyhow, here's what we all had.

Beef Ball Noodle Noodle - RM7.90 (Regular)

Here's one of the basic type of  beef noodle which one of my friend ordered. He's not really into beef but he like beef balls, so he ordered this bowl of beef ball noodle. As you can see, the portion of beef balls are quite generous (8 pcs) but then again for the price we paid, it's only normal. The soup tasted really like Bak Kut Teh soup to us but it's really refreshing and had a strong scent of beef in them.

Beef Noodle - RM7.90 (Regular)

This is the bowl of beef noodle which I ordered. I am not into tendon and intestines so I go for the plain sliced beef. Again, the portion of beef was really generous. The soup as mentioned earlier was strong but not those which you know was added with a lot of MSG or sort. It's really been cooked for at least 8 hours or so. But again, I am not really into soup type beef noodle. My preference will always be Soong Kee beef noodle at Jalan Tun HS. Lee. The beef is plenty and the noodle was springy and with texture of course.

Stomach + Tendon Beef Noodle - RM11.90 (Large)

Last but not least the mother of all beef noodle, beef noodle with everything. Well almost everything minus the intestines. My friend really like his bowl of noodle. I tried a small piece of tendon and it's really soft. Not bad but again not my bowl of noodle. The bowl of noodle was really large and my friend was all full after finishing.

So what do I think after finishing the bowl of beef noodle?  Sorry to say that I won't return if I have the opportunity but will recommend to my friend though. Don't get me wrong, I was good but as I mentioned a couple of time above that I am not into soup type beef noodle. Price is average and not too pricey and the portion was generous and most important the beef was fresh and don't stick to your teeth after chewing on it. So feel free to come over and have a try and decide for yourself. I think they have more branches else where but not sure where it is. As for the location, it's at the main road along Jalan Imbi same row as Sakura and opposite Foong Lye Taiwan. (Rating: 3.8 out of 5.0)
