G & W Burger

On a mellow Wednesday evening, me and my little sister went about to hunt for food, and it just struck me that I happen to pass by this humble little burger stall every working day and I finally decided to stop by. By the way, this stall is located right before the Happy Star Home Deco shop in Berakas.

The owner himself was a humble guy and also friendly which makes the experience very pleasant, especially for a first timer to the burger. Little did I know later on, that the G & W can also be found on facebook. The owner then later explained, he does not use any ketchup, chilli sauce or even mayo on his masterpieces, which I somewhat agreed later on due to the fact that sometimes, too much ketchup or chilli or mayo can overpower the real taste of the burger. 

As for my first order, I tried the Royale Beef burger. The Royale beef burger is a beef patty (made from minced beef with spices) and then in the core of the patty, is cheese (I'm not sure what cheese but it is intriguing! I am guessing it is Philadelphia!) I am a BIG FAN OF CHEESE too, so I am very sure of my choice! Since they do not use any ketchup or chilli or mayo, I requested for mustard since I am a BIG fan of mustard too and it turned out that the burger complements the mustard afterall!!! 

My rating, out of 5, I'd give it a 4, based on the service, the friendliness and the experience, a very good one. You should give this burger a try!I promise you, it won't fail you. Price wise, its not too cheap or too stiff for the pocket :D

P.s : Warning, this burger is NOT for people who adores Ketchup, Chilli Sauce or Mayo. Don't say I didn't warn you.

The Packaging of my burger, it says Royale Beef :D

 

One bite and you'll be in love!!! I know it doesn't look enticing, but I reckon you try it! Nyamannnnnnnnn berabis!!!!!

Buttermilk Chicken

One fateful fine day, me and my friends decided to do a pot-luck since we wanted to try out each other's cooking and one of them happened to bring the buttermilk chicken. I immediately fell in love after eating it, mind you, I wasn't a fan before. And i put my standard to labelling how the buttermilk chicken should taste. To me, the buttermilk chicken should taste a bit creamy and not too sweet and a bit spicy. There's a slight curry-ish taste since it is cooked using curry leaves. The texture of the chicken shouldn't be too soft or too tough to bite for it should be seasoned and fried to a certain point.

So I decided to go hunting for the best buttermilk chicken, up and down, to and fro, to confirm until I've reached my decision. Below are the results, rated out of 5 :

1. Nyonya Restaurant : 4.5, they also give extra buttermilk gravy to go with it in a separate bowl!

2. Usaha Sitty Delima : 4.5, its just the ambiance that doesn't do the mercy but overall, the place is clean and quiet and the portion is quite generous!

3. Harini Restaurant : 4.5, one of my favourite eateries since its the nearest place to my workplace and also gives a generous portion.

So there you go, the best buttermilk chicken in town! :D Do leave me comments here or on the chatbox by the side if you want me to try anything else.

Singgah D'Ayer Mulih

Okay, so the name is very Bruneian ethnic based on the Ayer Mulih ending. Ayer Mulih is a traditional Brunei design of inter-twined branches and leaves, in a circle which has no ending. 

Anyhow, back to my review. 

This restaurant to my best knowledge, recently opened its doors to the public somewhat back in April this year since I drive past it every working day :P Never did it dawned to me that I'd set foot into this eatery. I know the highlight of this place is Ambuyat. The ambiance is somewhat nice only then there's no ample lighting, I'd say, which didn't manage to impress me at all (afterall, it's Daddy who really wanted to try this place out). 

I was pretty ecstatic when I see the Cicah Pidada in the menu (p.s I got excited due to the fact that I watched how it was made on Rampai Pagi). The service is so-so, but the food, oh god! Seriously, failed to impress me, what more my picky father! The food came almost an hour after ordering, which left us really frustrated. And the Cicah Pidada was tasteless! FAIL!!!

 Overall, out of 5, I'd rate this place a 1.5. The owner really need to do some homework on how to cook Brunei traditional food and sit down with the senior citizens. 

The Menu, photocopied *yawn*

The Ceiling is the only thing that impressed me, they used kain songket.

I wonder is it plainly kain songket that you get elsewhere or the Jong Sarat? If its the Jong Sarat, it must be really expensive to put this place together!

Daging urat tumis, it's spicy and salty but the overall taste, it's plain bland.

The Cicah Pidada, tasteless!

This sayur pakis tumis failed to impress both mom and dad

The ambuyat and the cicah, the ambuyat for your information was runny and it managed to burn my esophagus! The only this that was yummy was the cicah binjai plus tempoyak. 

The banner by the entrance. I'd think twice before I set foot into this place again.

Sundays are fun days

Yes, Sundays are supposedly to be fun days, especially when I don't have to be roused early just to have breakfast! LOL! I am not a morning person, hence, I care less about getting all dolled up.

We went to this DimSum joint at the Scout's building in, Gadong. My rating was just a plain, 3. I still prefer Szechuan's and Emperor's Court's Dim Sums!

I look ugleh in the morning! Hell I care! LOL!

My sister is a morning person. As you can see, she's all fresh :D

Le Menu

Fried Kuay Teow with beef and bean sprouts

Fried Yam dumplings, I still prefer Emperor's Court and Stadium's

The Malay Kueh - it tasted like... almari - meaning, yucky!

The Karat Cake was not so bad afterall :D

Za'em and his antiques of being naughty! This is his 'smiling face'

The Beancurd Skin rolls - I didn't know how it tastes like, I didn't have any

Chicken Shiew Mai

I liked this one, Sesame Balls with Lotus Paste

From there, off we went to Pasar Jerudong / Jerudong wet fish market - to buy fishies! Yay!

Daddy doing his usual routine rounds looking for the best fresh fishes around

At first, I thought they were selling twisties since the stickers are like, all around, but they were selling fishes! LOL! *bimbo mode*

Vacationing - Day 02

No, there is no Day 01 to this post, its because I didn't post any hehehe, I went to Miri yesterday and it was the same old, same ol'. Hence no posts.

But as for today, I went to eat Kolo Mee at the usual :D and then its off to the movies with the bf and The Mall Gadong. Since he wanted to watch Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa, I was all nods anyways. Aku sakai, because we watched it at this new deluxe screen cinema, was small, but NEW. Hahaha :P

Anyways, the movie was boring, but pretty good for a start la.... *ponders on with a blank look* hahaha :P

After that, on our way back to the car park, we passed by "Beard Papa's" to try the oh-so-famous cream puffs, was ok, its just that they have the crunchy puffs on the outside and the bland cream on the inside, I'd give it a 2 out of 5.

Plus post that again, I've been craving for the Cakoi at Telanai-Beribi junction, near by Maju Motors until, FINALLY, today, I get my hands on 'em babies! Hahaha *evil laugh*
Out of 5, I'd give it a 4. Yes, its yummy, with their own made kaya, which is somewhat not so sweet but a mixture of it will keep you coming back for more.

The Vanilla Cream Puff from Beard Papa's

The yummy cakoi that I've been craving for.

P.s : Looks can be deceiving, but you should try it out yourself!

Popular re-opens

After 5 long months, they are back on business! Finally! Hehehe me and daddy earlier, went to Popular restaurant to have late breakfast. I had a piece of vadai and chicken samosa, and its as yummy as I remembered it. Vadai is an Indian doughnut, crunchy on the outside, and soft with spices inside, and the chicken samosa had a crunchy skin :D perfect! But, it also had a glitch, the chicken dosai, wasn't as yummy as it was before. Call it a win-win situation? Hehehe :P again, rating? I'd give it a 3.5, because this place never failed me :D

Chicken Samosa and Vadai

Peek-a-boo! Hahaha I see chicken inside! This is the Chicken Dosai

Radisson lunching

Today, I had lunch with my sister hehehe and she feels like having roasted potatoes. Well, I then suggested Radisson since I haven't been there in a while, and I feel like having meat, especially after be-ambil darah session in the morning. Chips does not suffice to add up on the blood drawn aaa....3 tubes! Plus, I'm an E-trait, I'm not proud of it either.

Well, We had a hard time deciding whether to eat at Deals or Tasek, and I came up with a brilliant hi-dea! LOL! I told my sister, why not check out the buffet since there's no people there, and lady luck was on my side today. Today's buffet theme was international, and everything was there. From beef salad to beef stew, roasted potatoes, pasta, soup, breads! What more can a person ask for? LOL :P We were both satisfied to the max after that, but what I liked most out of today's layout was the beef stew, I kid you not, its sooo yummy! And the baked cheesecake and chocolate eclair. Overall, out of 5, I'd rate it a 3.5.

Pricing wise, it is quite cheap really, all in all for the lunch buffet at Radissons, costs you about $20. Not bad, try it out! :D

Roasted Chicken, the sauce that goes with it is also yummy!

As for today, me and mummy went to get takeaway for my sister, but eventually, we did order the takeaway and also ended up eating there ourselves hehe :P

I haven't been to this place since quite a while, its been years actually! The place is Seri Damai Restaurant. Met the owner as well, did a bit of catching up and ended up giving me Pakistani Orange :D It was yummy and it was for sale too! The food there is also quite yummy. The naan is fluffy, which is not quite like the typical Indian Naan. The chicken karahi was as yummy like the last time I remembered it to be :D You should check this place out. The location is in Kiulap, at the same block with Chong Hock and Vivid Square Cafe :D My ratings, out of 5, a 3.5. Try it out!
