S’Mores, Bangsar South

Posted on August 22, 2013 by greaterdiningclub

We bought: 1 dining voucher from Groupon for a large pork platter (feeds up to 8 persons) & 4 Tiger beers for RM 130.

We got: 1 pork platter enough to comfortably feed 6 hungry mouths & requested to swap the beers to fruit juice.

We say: The food and the company was worth the horrendous jam all of us had to battle to get to the restaurant.

Where: The Sphere – Bangsar South
Unit G2, Jalan Kerinchi,
59200 Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia. (Reservations: 03- 2240 0069)

Drinks. Everyone drinking healthy tonight. Pineapple, orange, lime & watermelon.

The porky platter. Includes German sausages, roast pork, ribs, potatoes & salad. That’s quite a lot of pig.

Another angle of the pork platter. It was H-U-G-E.

Dissecting the huge chunk of pork.

The aftermath.

Clean to the bone.

Capital Nasi Dagang Kelantan, Damansara Uptown

Posted on August 20, 2013 by greaterdiningclub

President is in town so we met up for a Kelantan-style breakfast.

We had: Nasi kahwin ikan tongkol, nasi dagang curry chicken, milo ais, teh tarik & kopi o.

President asked for extra sambal 😀

Where: Capital Nasi Dagang Kelantan
29 Jalan 21/1A
Damansara Uptown
47400 Petaling Jaya (Tel: 012-921 5200)

Drinks.

Our breakfast.

Nasi dagang curry chicken with extra sambal on the side.

Nasi kahwin ikan tongkol.

In case anyone is wondering, nasi kahwin is just a combo of white rice & the red-grained nasi dagang that makes the Kelantan-style nasi dagang stand out from the Terengganu version. I’m a hard-core Kelantanese at heart, I always go for the red-grain version 😛

Belanga, Empire

Impromptu makan session after the cherries handover.

Hey, perhaps the fruits should also feature as a group activity!!

We had: Roti jala curry chicken, lompat tikam, sirap selasih & lemongrass drinks.

Asia Cafe, SS15

Posted on August 15, 2013 by greaterdiningclub

Impromptu supper session at Asia Cafe, SS15.

We had: 1 teh tarik, 1 watermelon juice (how come the juice cup doesn’t have Asia Cafe words on it???), some Chinese dumplings, and a lot of stories to go with the food and drinks 😀

I now smell of ikan bakar, or whatever it was that was frying all night long there..:))
