Kashmir Cafe Review

June 4th, 2010, posted in Food, Random rants, Shennanigans

I LOVE INDIAN FOOD! It doesn’t bother me whether its NORTH Indian or SOUTH. What’s most important is this 3 : CURRY, SPICES and MUTTON! And yes, if possible make the curry as SPICY as possible. I am dying for that!

Isn’t it obvious what i am gonna blog about now? =p Well, Marc_ky invited us bloggers to a food tasting session in Kashmir Cafe SS3. As soon as he mention about it being Indian food, i couldn’t resist and immediately jump into the bandwagon. Told you i love Indian food. haha.

Kashmir Cafes is well known to be serving delicious Indian food since 1979.The shop close down a few years back as there is some problem with its management/family. After a few years, the family members then revived it to continue its legacy of serving people of SS3 and its surrounding area with what i shall call GIF. Good Indian food. lol

OK LA, i know you guys wanna look at the food.. So here it comes for their specialty.

The BRIYANI!

Mutton Briyani

Kashmir serves 3 different types or briyani ; Mutton (Rm12), Chicken (RM10) and Veg (RM8). I personally feel that the mutton briyani is the bomb. Ok la, you cant really take my words for it as i have a fetish for mutton. But then again, i can guarantee you that this mutton is different from other briyani mutton out there. I don’t know about others but when i munch the mutton, certain part of it felt crispy and that itself got me addicted to it. You must try it to really know how it taste like!

According to Sashi (the owner) all the briyani rice is cooked together and then cooked again with mutton or chicken to prevent the oil from the meat from mixing with the rice.

Another thing worth mentioning here, everything here is served with banana leaf. NO PLATES. Nothing! Awesome right? And the side dishes of the briyani (look at the picture), ITS DA BOMB ALSO! The pickle veg is really nice. Too bad most bloggers there doesn’t know how to savor the best. WASTED =p To really enjoy Indian food, mutton, spices, pickled veg (acar) and etc is A MUST TRY!

This,my friend is not DA BOMB, but its NUCLEAR BOMB! This is mutton bone curry! Right, MUTTON BONE CURRY! Its uber delicious, spicy and blend to perfection. Bone marrows, mutton and potato all mashed up in this one perfect curry = SATISFACTION. Too bad its only available from Fri to Sun. So better head there to try this curry. You really wont regret.

Fiery Crab Rasam. (Rm1.60) This rasam taste bad and good at the same time. Maybe cuz im not used to it. It smells umm.. horrible (probably due to the spices) but at the same time it taste so good that you’ll keep drinking it despite the smell. It has this fiery peppery tatse and a hint of crab in it. Nice! =)

This thosai made my day. It feels so good that i sang Tonights gonna be a good good night! This dish is called the Kashmir Special Masala Thosai and served in two choices :

Kashmir Special Chicken Masala Thosai/Rava Thosai
Kashmir Special Mutton Masala Thosai/Rava Thosai

Rm5.90

This seriously is the highlight of the day. Its not da bomb or da nuclear bomb but its the end of the world. I took a bite and immediately i was in cloud 9. I’m not exaggerating but it is that good. You can view other blogger’s opinion about it if you want, you’ll get the same answer. Thanks to Marc_ky for recommending this dish, now you are making me go crazy. T.T

I even ta pau 2 piece of this scrumptilicious thosai and savor it at home. The secret lies in the masala itself. The masala is really nice. And of course the thosai too. Most thosai ive tried is very sour but Kashmir’s is not. According to Sashi, sour thosai indicates that it has been kept overnight. But for Kashmir’s, the thosai are always fresh! Left over thosai wont be re-used again and served to the customer. THUMBS UP! They served the best thosai ever~!

Spicy Masala Tea. Nothing to rave about but its as good as the original. Its best to cool down yourself after an afternoon of superb spicy indian dishes.

IMG_1938

Kesari and Wajik for the desert! Its perfect. Not that sweet but not tasteless either. Better than some of other shop that serves this.

Sashie’s sister previously was in the same team as when coffee bean first came to Malaysia. So in her blood, she has this cleanliness comes first concept and Sashie explains that her sister always stressed that in her kitchen and wants only the BEST food stock.

So rest assured that Kashmir serves the best and has a very conducive and clean environment.

Sashie’s sis even bake us this cute cake as a token of appreciation. NICE <3

After all the talking, what i wanna say is…. Kashmir is my new favourite new Indian Foodjoint after Indian’s Kirchen. Seriously good especially if you are a lover of GIF! Good Indian Food =p.

GLUTTON JAMIE DAY!

June 4th, 2010, posted in Events, Food, Random rants, Shennanigans, ©FoodStuff

WOW! Omgod its been long since I’ve updated my post. Tsk tsk, this is a sign of me being REAL busy. I mean how often you see i DONT update my blog or NEGLECT it? NONE! =p

Ok, so like I’ve said, my mission to bring the lifeless Jamie down is to EAT! and make her FAT! After the Freedom event, we bunked and the next morning, i began my mission to glutton her. Here’s what we ate for breakfast. =)

IMG_1799

Yup! We had hakka food somewhere near Mutiara Hotel. Its down the road towards the traffic light. Go straight and you’ll see that Hakka restaurant on your right. The Yam Abacus is very delicious. I’ve tried this dish a few times in KL but this was the best so far. Not to say that it gives you the ‘boom boom paw’ feeling but at least it brightens up the gloomy morning. (It’s raining). Don’t believe? See below >>

IMG_1802

Look at her orgasmic face. That’s her when you shove her with food. GOOD FOOD to be exact. To bad the BG is overexposed. You’ll see its raining rather heavy that morning.

IMG_1794

The Yong tau fu was nice. But nah, ill skip it. The soup that comes with it is awesome. Ok la, i know… they shove us with tons and tons of MSG right? No wonder im bald right… :X

Haha, i know its crazy, but after this meal, we straight race down to Muar to have our fix of Johor’s authentic otak-otak. With the help of some food bloggers who have included the coordinate in their blog post, and with the help of Google Map Navigator.. I present to you… >>

IMG_1804

IMG_1811

Seriously, if you are an otak otak lover, this shop is da bomb. I know of places that claimed to serve the best otak otak around but nothing beats the original from Glutton Street. Despite all that, my grandma STILL makes the BEST otak otak hands down period! If you wanna try, make an appointment. LOL

This otak otak is fresh and well, it doesn’t have that fishy smell that turns me off! You see, i hate eating fish, but otak otak is an exception and this shop makes it to perfection.

IMG_1807

Pork Satay. Sadly, because of this satay, Kajang no long is THE BEST. Once you try this, you’ll beg for more. No i am not saying the satay sold by this particular shop in Muar, I was refering to the satay shop in Taman Bachang, Melaka!

The secret ingredient to what makes the best pork satay is of course the uniqueness of the gravy or some shall call it Kuah Kacang. Some stalls just use the normal kuah and some adds a lil hint of pineapple in it. Well for this shop is Muar, the pineapple is not blend in the kuah itself, but was served together with the cucumber. Like this >> IMG_1810

The satay in Bachang blend’s the kuah with the pineapple and ITS THE BOMB!. But that is for next post. In this post, this satay was alright. Its nice but does not beat MINE! =p

I was full but Jamie ( as usual ) INSISTED to get the hor jian. Seriously… my expression > :) to =.=’

IMG_1814

If you were to try any hor jian from any shop around KL, most of it serves you with a tiny bit of hor jian. What’s worse, the hor jian is so small that by the time you eat half, you are only eating the egg.

But this shop has the biggest hor jian ive ever seen. LOL. Its so big that for every piece of egg served, there are at least 4-5 juicy hor jian. That’s how awesome Muar hor jian is. <3

IMG_1812

IMG_1821

Me, in Glutton Street. LOL

GUESS WHAT?! haha YES after all this fattening but delicious delicacy of Muar, I THEN RACE DOWN to MELAKA for the FOOODDDZZZZ.

I was suppose to bring Jamie to a cendol stall just outside Jonker Street but sadly, its close. And the reclamation of land just outside Jonker is AN EYE SORE. F.U Melaka Gov.

IMG_1832

So i brought her to the next best thing, but its packed. Seriously, this particular Asam Laksa and ABC stall is overrated. Not to say its not nice, but well its just overrated. Its nice but other shop that serves cendol within 1km radius of Jonker Street taste as good as this. So why the overcrowding of this place? tsk tsk. Only Melaka people know the best cendol around. =p

IMG_1853

Durian Cendol

IMG_1851

Durian ABC

I HATE DURIAN. period. But i was forced to indulge the most hated food of all time. ARGH. Ok fine, the cendol and ABC is nice. But not the durian. LOL

IMG_1859

Look at that happy face lah… tsk tsk. I hate durian okay!

 

IMG_1880

Ok then we had Laksa just across the street. FULL. Orgasmic.

IMG_1881 

Ze stall.

Durian cream puff Jamie claim to be delicious. Ill never try in a million years. Nuff said. LOL

OK SERIOUSLY I NEED ANOTHER FOOD CRAWL! WHO WANNA COME? Just LOOK at the delicious food above. How can you EVER RESIST it? hehe. =p Lets go crawl for food and make ourselves FAT! YAY FAT FTW! and JOIN BIGGEST LOSER ASIA!

out.

Rants?

May 26th, 2010, posted in Events, Food, Random rants, Shennanigans

I know right, my blog is getting lesser and lesser of my personal life despite me saying that more of it will come. Cant blame me lah, i seriously don’t even have time to blog about things i am asked to, what more about myself?

I promised to blog about my Langkawi trip but until now its no where to be seen. Sigh. You know what, how bout i just give a brief update on what’s going on with me and of course I’ll just put some teaser shots of moarrr personal post that are coming soon. Well coming soon is not anywhere now. haha.

You see, i #phailed my maths and did badly in my last semester. This semester is my finals and i cant afford to fail anymore. I don’t want to get anything lesser than a distinction in my Diploma’s cert. Omgod. I now have extra class every Monday and Wednesday night. That lecturer is tutoring me on my Maths and some programming language. Seriously Nigel, You fucking need to buck up.

Parents are really disappointed at me. Well, heck i am disappointed at myself too. Should have been more responsible and attend class more often instead of skipping it. Oh wells.

OH GUESS WHAT?! I am moving to motion instead of still photos. The only thing holding me back now is EDITING. I hate that part the most. I’ve been trying to edit 3 freaking videos and none of it is even half done. Really, video gurus, help me. =(

Ok that was Jamie and I at Freedom 360 in JB. 2 Post below this. Of course that’s not the main highlight! The main highlight is the FOOD HUNT that we went after the event. JB,MUAR,MELAKA!

Awesome can! Wait up for the glutton post!!! The next Freedom at Penang i AM GOING DOWN for the food! My hometown yo! =-)

And so there, I’ve spilled most of my stuff. Maybe not those personal ones but yea….. xOxO lol!
