Nasi Arab + Ayam Golek, Ibrahim Al Khaleel street

Hubs is the kinda person who loves to jalan-jalan. As i mentioned on my previous post that we stayed at Haneen Al Firdous Hotel which happens to be a busy street of Ibrahim Al Khalil, he found so many interesting places.. Especially when makan-makan is concerned. It was such as Nasi Arab, Ice cream, mango juice, etc.. Air tebu pun ada ok...

Amongst, I'd like to share this one restaurant of Nasi Arab + Ayam Golek nearby our hotel.. Dokek yo.. juz few doors away... The Ustaz said that this place is belonged to Pakistani.. Patutla sedap...

 

Firstly, order & payment needs to be made at the counter where this humongous guy with large wrist seats. Believed he's the owner.. The chicken is SR15 n rice is SR5. The bread is given free. Btw, it's spring chicken.

 

Then, receipt need to be passed to the guy at the processing area. 

Ayam Golek

(the one we had)

Ayam Bakar

Roti Arab

 Nasi Arab - 1 portion is SR5..

so banyak..
but their people can finish alone...

Phad ThaiPAN

Phad Thai is a Thai-Muslim Restaurant... Despite being located next to a Chinese Restaurant.. The location is rather secluded.. but it is located next to the multi level parking.. Behind Hong Leong Bank..

The address :
21, USJ 10/1C,
Subang Taipan,
Subang Jaya, Selagor.
(monday- close, Tues - Sun - 10am-10pm)

  The yellow signage really stand out especially at night

 First thing first... Lets look at the Halal Certificate.... Yes! it's valid n not expired...

This place uses stool... Therefore, it's not suitable to lepak here... Have your meal and get going... lol... Hanging out may not be a problem.. As most most kopitiam (Pak Li precisely) uses stool.

 The cutleries are placed here.. Practical and neat...

 Lets have a look at the cuisine... This time around, we didn't order much.. We had fish n fish... 

As in Fish Tom Yam Kampung and Steam Fish with lime...

 

 The rice uses Beras Siam.. It's definitely delicious n smells great...

The thing i like most I the squarish presentation... Comelll

 

 We had Kampung Tom Yam.. Kampung means clear Tomyam while the other is red tomyam..

I prefer clear as it is mild and not too heavy..

 The taste is really great and the amount of fish is generous.. Puas makan..

 We ordered Large Siakap Steam Limau..

Sedappp... Not too sour nor too sweet...

 Just nice...

ps : Writing about it makes me drool :p

  

Our favorite drink - me hot pandan tea n hubs loves the Thai syrup..

Feeling fresh after having both as the flavors are really deep..

 

 The syrup are even for sale.. The blue is for green syrup...

 Thab Thin Krob for dessert... It is one of the signature dish here..

The pink seeds are water chestnut wrapped with some kinda tepung pulut.. The yellow strips are jackfruit... 

Do ask for less sweet.. as the kurang manis version is still sweet.. Imagine the normal sugar content.

remark : This is a complete no no for diabetic n someone undergoing a diet.. It's sweet.. It has santan.. n carbs.. n all ;)

There's a section of the restaurant that displays lotsa items from Thailand for sale.. There are syrup, cashewnuts. instant noodle, Thai Sauce (nam pla), Thai Mihun and lots of other Thai goodies..

My favorite is Kacang Koh Kae.. As for me, the best is chicken, original n coffee. Heard it came out with other new flavour.. Eventhough it sells at a higher price, at lest we know where to get those stuff in town...

 M so gonna check out again and try the Bangkok Omelet. Do check it out!!!

Giantic Ketupat & such

Hope it's not too late to wish everyone 'Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha'..

Went back to my in law's and saw this humongous ketupat.. It was as big as the plate! My my my... Ada yang kata, macam orang je yg anyam ketupat.. lol

Mum in law bought the sarung ketupat from Balikpapan, Indonesia... Unlike our daun ketupat, the leave was a bit dried up thus it last a few month.. The rice was not pre-filled. It is to be filled before boiling, unlike our nasi himpit segera...

As for the taste, it is slightly different from our typical ketupat.. It has a different aroma came from the leaf...

 

Beside the giant ketupat.. I'd just like to share what we had for Aidil Adha :

Learned how to make ketupat satay from Mum. The only ketupat i can make is ketupat satay which i learned from Dad.. It is the simplest.. After several tried, i still didn't succeed in producing a single ketupat bawang :( But not giving up trying...

the result - a bit dried up as it has been donkey since we make ketupat..

goodies from neighbour - lontong n ketupat palas...

imported lemang Terengganu - lemak berkrim disukai ramai...

(should one goes to Terengganu, will see gerai jual lemang by the roadside at the area of Kemaman / Kijal - RM 10 for 3)

 Ayam masak kicap & halia

 Ayam Masak Kari Kering Mamak Style...

 

 the common masak lodeh - 

just to balance up the menu so it won't be too dry & for some vegetable sake 

(despite the santan)
