Edo Ichi

Irasshaimase!!

That means welcome in Japanese!

So I went for a very very very lavish dinner with a bunch of good friends and I think I didn't do it justice if I don't blog it out. I'm very uninspired today so it may just be a picture spam kinda post. But warning it's absolutely mouth watering!

Hello Sake! 

Never have this before so I had try it out! If you ask me, it taste very different from the other alcohol. A little sniff and I can feel alcohol vapour running up my nose. The good thing is that it doesn't burn my throat at all. So it's much smoother compared to other alcohol.

Apparently very disgusting if served cold so it's kept warm all the time.

READY FOR THE STAR OF THE SHOW?

This sinful giant pot of freshly cut sashimi! This thing cost like RM 400! I was feeling quite sad cause I don't like raw stuff. But I tried the prawn anyway. It was super sweet! Eating it with the wasabi makes it double awesome! The wasabi there is freshly ground so it put those normal prepacked wasabi to shame!

Totally irrelevant but here is me showing off my chopstick skills!

But look at that huge ass fish egg! Not one bit of funny taste! So fresh it's like explosion my freshness in your mouth!

Plate of sea urchin

Put some in the seaweed and roll it up.

First time having this and I totally understand why this is considered one of the finest food! It's creamy and fresh. This is a must eat!

More sashimi! So freaking THICK! Thicker than my face!

Soft shell crab roll

Fried fishes

Fried soft shell crab. This is a bit too salty for my liking

Unknown fried stuff

This is what I got for craving for Boston steam lala! But this one is way more alcoholic than the one from Boston. However, fragrance- wise I think Boston still wins! 

Teppanyaki scallop.

Enough said. Look at the sheer size of the scallop. So yummy!

Cod fish with mentai I think. This was so good that we actually ordered two! If you came here and did not order this then might as well go eat at Sushi King la! Trust me, it's THAT good

Garlic fried rice

Japanese are like some magical unicorn like creature that can make yummy garlic fried rice. It's generally yummy regardless where you have it.

Sour plum onigirii

Wanted to try the authentic sour plum onigirii so ordered one even though it's gonna be super filling. Sigh~ I sometimes wish I stay in Japan. Peasant food also super yummy

Tempura!!

Do not underestimate the size of the prawn because the lower end of the prawn is hidden under the stash. I had to cut it in half or else it's too heavy for my chopsticks.

Ice cream!

The Yuzu ice cream is good. Apparently Yuzu is like Pamelo or something along the family of orange. So it's like sweet and sour in every bite! Yummy! The black sesame is good too. I don't like green tea cause it tastes like perfume. But seriously, do not order chocolate unless you're 10 and below.

Here's the receipt just in case if anyone wanna know the price breakdown. 

Okay really super uninspired to write cause it's raining outside. Wanna nap so badly. 

But MUST SHARE GOOD FOOD EVEN IT'S ONLY PICTURESSSS!

Okie doke

NAP TIME~

Zab Zab Boat Noodle

Hi! 

Hope everyone reading this is doing well! Figured that when we were in primary school and that's how teachers will force us to start an essay.

Anyway, not writing here today to reminiscence the good ol' days back when we're 12! Remember a while ago I wrote a review on Boat Noodle? Since then, I realized many boat noodle places popping out here and there like zits when I'm PMS-ing! 

So I thought like why not try out other places? I mean I do enjoy the taste of the noodle! More adventure for my tongue is goooood! Ended up going on on a new voyage to Zab Zab Boat Noodle!

A little ass OOTD cause I look kinda ugly that day i.e. no makeup!

Zab Zab is located in Kuchai Lama. Gotta admit! That place is actually quite hard to find if you're not familiar with that area. The good thing is that I know the owner of the shop so a clear direction is just one call away! (by the way! Not doing advertorial because I know the owner ah! I didn't get discounts or whatever for blogging) And the traffic is HOR-RI-BLE! Encountered like 2 road bullies while I'm in that area. Ranted in my Dayre a while ago so haha.. my blog post is actually super back logged! 

To give everyone a clear direction, if you can find Chatime, Zab Zab is just to the left of Chatime.

Finally found the place! Blood and sweat man!

Hello! Can eww see meee?

Actually went there during tea time well because I can! I mean how often can you crave for noodles and you get small portion right? 

First impression? Clean! Great! Lol

Zab Zab!

Didn't waste time upon arrival and ordered attacked the menu!

Yea saw this and went CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

Pretty simple menu since there's only 4 types of noodles available! You can choose dry or soup and with keuy teow or mee hon! Simple as that. I felt really macho when I ordered cause I just went..

Boss! Give me two of EVERYTHINGGGGGGG!

Like some really rich man ordering every dish on the menu! Double some more! Fuiyohhhh

I have never been to Thailand so I really don't know what to compare the Boat Noodles here against. I mean.. it's not like I know the real real thing from the place of origin! But it seems like this is closest to the real deal all because the chef is imported from Thailand!

Hi Thai Chef! Is there where the magic happens?

Okay! Picture time before the food comes!

Condiments!

This is the face of evil! Damn freaking spicy leh! Chili pan mee also lose to this thing!

If you see this! RUNN! Or try it la if you enjoy spicy food!

This was the coconut jelly ordered by my partner in crime! I usually hate jelly because it feels like you're biting into thin air. This one, I'll make an exception becuase it's super refreshing! Like AmbiPur in the mouth kinda sensation. Maybe I should give all jelly an equal chance from now on! Lol

Leong cha! To cool down my tongue from the chili which I courageously tried by eating it directly in my mouth!

*genius*

NOW!! FOR THE MOMENT OF TRUTH!

Meehon soup!

Dry Keuy Teow

Wet Keuy teow and...

Dry Meehon!

LOOK LOOK! Can tick off my bucket list for wanting to fill my table with food! Haha

My verdict is that OHMYGOSH BOAT NOODLES ARE LIKE MY THING! So yummy! Haven't been to a shop that disappointed me. My personal favorite is the keuy teow soup! The soup is like Tom Yam-ish but not really! It's all sweet and sour. The sour taste just lures you to keep chowing down the noodle and at the end, YOU HAVE TO DRINK THE SOUP AS WELL!

Although, I feel so meh since the sour taste just made me more hungry and ordered more of it! The sour and sweet fragrant in your mouth is something that will definitely make you crave for more! For example, I am starving now at 1am from describing alone! Annoying ah this black hole stomach!

I also realized something... The portion! 

For an equal amount of RM 1.90, Zab Zab offers more in a bowl!

Look! The noodles are way more

There's a WHOLE ball instead of just half

Also super generous with the pork lard please! Oh yea~ It's a non-halal restaurant! 

So mouth watering! The sweet sour and a tinge of spiciness is like the MUST HAVE!

Oh I also had authentic Thai soy milk! So wow.. Much Thai.. Such originality. LOL

Put a lime in a coconut and drink it all up! 

So how much did I eat? Mind you that I went in with a super adventurous mood thinking aiya bite size noodles only ma! GIMME 10!!!! But no lo! The noodles are actually in a pretty decent portion with meat and meatballs. It's actually more filling than you expect! I ended having so little only... According to the chart I am like average! Feel like a loser leh! 

Ate only half of this.. so fail

HERE'S THE GREAT NEWS FOR EVERYONE!!!!

Even I, the super glutton monster had so few bowls, Zab Zab has decided to reward challenger that can beat their current record! Imagine you get to eat all you want and when you reach sensei level, YOU GET 50% OFF YOUR BILL! Imagine eating 100 bowls but only have to pay the price of 50! If you think this is easy peasy then go give i a shot! You'll be surprise how you kinda suck at eating small portion noodles! LOL

THEY ALSO HAVE NEW FLAVOR IN STOREEE! Sea food tom yum! I shall go try again soon and get my 50% off! Wish me luck guys!

The Ship: A Visit To The Classics

Greetings earthlings! I see you guys are all well reading my buhlog~

Weekends are often dedicated to my parents and every weekend, the same question regarding what's for dinner arises. I guess my fat daddy thought about having a good piece of beef after hearing my sister enjoying some Wagyu beef. So we went to The Ship!

Yes you've heard it right! THE SHIP!

I guess this is where generation gap appears. When we feel like western, we'll opt for a 'fresh' place. In a cool location and it seems like the prefect place to chill. Like we would go Tappers, S'mores or some high end restaurant in KL which sells food that are overly priced (I seriously like value for money places! KiamSiap Chinese again -_-). For my parents, they go to places which I call..

The Classics

These are restaurants like The Ship, Victoria Station or Federal Hotel.

Of course who am I to complain? But personally I wouldn't go there cause of price and inconsistent quality.

But here I am anyway! Back to the classics

Randomly, my fat daddy just drove to The Ship and I am in the most HIDEOUS outfit! That's basically me on weekends. If one day my blog did get famous, I will be in incognito mode on weekends because I'm severely unkempt! Shenyin looked at me in disgust almost every week! Haha.. I don't even wear contacts or put on foundation! HAHAHA! Severely ugly! My weekend outfit and face going to eat at The Ship and I'll probably get judged please! Thankfully my parents are dressed nicely so I can pull off looking like their maid or ugly teenage daughter since I don't think maids are allowed to play Metal Slug on iPad! Lol...

The not so surprising part is when I push open the door and was greeted by the scent of sizzling beef. The surprise part is when I open the door and I hear loud chattering coming from inside. The last time I went to The Ship is about 2-3 years back and it was so quiet. I vaguely remember that we were the only customers of the night; as if we bought the entire place. Some improvement must have happened in this period so it definitely hyped up my expectations.

[SORRY FOR THE BLURRY PICTURES! I RECENTLY DISCOVERED NIGHT MODE ON MY PHONE CAMERA! IT BRIGHTENS THINGS UP BUT IT TURNS OUT BLUR IF ANYTHING MOVED! SOWIE]

Humans

Humans inside

More humans!

Told cha it was packed! Better make a reservation next time!

Food time! Open menu.. *GASP* I can't afford.. Since I am still unemployed *throws confetti and weep*

I do admire how they changed their menu. It looks kinda new.

Food picture time! I guess in the classic western restaurants, you always get the full course meal... #fatdiebutsogood

Blurry bread. Thank night mode

Okay I don't know how they make these but it is soooooooo good. Actual garlic taste busting in my mouth! Yummy!

Skinny mommy's fav! Salad.

My mortal enemy so yea I have no idea how it tastes like.

Main course time!

Fat daddy always order the right stuff

Sizzling Shirlion Steak! It was crazy delicious. The meat is so tender like an M&M melting in your mouth, no in your hands! I also feel proud I made my fat daddy order medium well cause he wanted well done (another classic option). So it turned out perfectly fine! The portion is just right for a person and it cost around RM 50-60. Haha. Sorry I didn't think I would be blogging about The Ship so I didn't pay much attention to the details.

MY ORDER!

I thought I'll be sharing this but the sister wanted the dish below so yea... fats. Thanks.. Anyway, this is the mixed platter with beef, lamb, chicken, chicken bacon, sausage and fried eggs. Needless to say I struggled with it. But the lamb and chicken is really really good and juicy despite being grilled. The chicken should be chicken thigh so it's quite soft! I was expecting dry and disgusting but no! Perfect! Just the beef is subpar.. I guess my fat daddy's beef steak made my beef look bad. lol.

This dish is around RM 43. Please share this dish for your stomach's sake.

Classic again! Chicken Maryland!

My only attempt to be artsy but it doesn't look very flattering though.

At least this picture is not blurry sigh..

It's a really yummy, up to standard Chicken Maryland. Enough said! The portion can be shared too but I think a guy can finish up a plate on their own. This costs around RM 25.

Oh we also ordered 2 very ordinary drinks. The cocktails look good but I'm with parents so yea.. Ice lemon tea please!

The bill came to RM 170 which is not the price of my average meal but once in a blue moon is okay! I would say I am very pleased with how The Ship has improved in terms of food quality, ambiance and the overall experience. Though one of the waitress kept wanting to keep our plates because she wants to shoo us off ASAP and clear the table for the next customers. Not exactly the level of service I expected from a well known restaurant. So I wrote them a long comment on the suggestion card! In marketing, honest customers like me are very appreciated k!

Definitely changed my opinion for classic western restaurants. No longer a place with a big price tag but the food is good too!

Alright! So sleepy! Way past my bed time liao. See you guys next time!

Bye!!
