Foodie - Green Chili Crunch [Limited Offer]

KFC had released their newest set of meal, Green Chili Crunch for a limited time so I had to try it. I gotta say, I had mixed feelings for this meal especially the presentation.

Green Chili Crunch, 2 pc Combo

I understood that it's not going to be the same as the advertised ones in terms of how it looked but come on! Could you at least not made it looked like I'm eating from last year's stock of chicken?! Sangat lah tidak menarik, macam dari longkang. It's shit...

Overall Rating: 5/10

Taste Wise: It was meh. I could taste a lil bit of lime but it wasn't that spicy. Disappointing, really.
Presentation: Do I need to explain much? Just look at the photo! Not appealing at all, more to go big or go home kinda appearance.
Pricing: RM14.90, better go for their Snack Plate Set  instead.

A friend of mine tried it as well, here's what he told me when I asked for second opinion.

Taste Wise: 6/10, "Spicy and has tinge of lime"
Presentation: 5/10
Pricing: 4/10

You may try this yourself the next time you're heading to KFC, butt you've been warned.

Movie : After

I honestly had no idea why I was even tempted to watch this Netflix original. I guess because it’s on Netflix, it has to be good, right? The promo said “...mix between Twilight and Shades of Grey...” Two movies I passionately hate and yet there I was, watching “After” like it had class or something.

Plotwise? Lame. Acting? Sucks.

The movie was so predictable you would cringe at every sentence. It took me two separate viewings to finish it for the sake of this review. Story short, it was supposedly a “love story” between a boring (supposedly) college girl with a “bad boy” just like every teen flick.

So like I said predictable. She dumped her high school boyfriend to be with the bad boy, turned out bad boy was on a bet to own her, she found out, they fought, he told her the “love” was real bla bla bla... they ended up together anyways.

A BAD, TERRIBLE moral story for young girls.

I felt like the movie is trying hard to tell young girls that it’s okay to give your body to a bad boys because they really are sincerely in love with you.

bullshit.

That’s what I think about the movie plot, and everything it tries to tell us. Sorry. Not my kinda movie.
A 1/10 for me. Because still better than any Malay movie lol.

Bubble Tea - 03

The adventures of bubble/bobba/boba tea continues with our next stop, Daboba at SS15, Subang Jaya. Despite their infamous traffic jam, we still went and took that leap!

DABOBA Roasted Brown Sugar Milk Tea

This was what my friend, Pian and I ordered, their famous Roasted Brown Sugar Milk Tea. Here's my simple reaction on Instagram:

Finally decided to try this famous Daboba bubble tea in...ugh...SS15. It tasted okay but somehow its top layer kind of ruined everything, my soul was damaged... #pastadumplingsreviews

I felt so conflicted at that time as well, the milk tea was nice but that top layer, it's CHEESE. I don't know about you but for me cheese often didn't went so well with any beverages especially anything milky. But then again, Malaysian food and beverages could still surprise us with their weird inventions (*cough* Nasi Lemak Durian *cough*).

In terms of their pricing, it was what a hipster bubble tea would cost, which was RM13.90 each. Pricey..sayang duit oh damn tapi apa boleh buat lah...

The atmosphere of this place during evening

My friend Pian however, said that this milky tea tasted the same as the ones from our hometown KK's Yoyo Cafe except without the cheese.

And that's our review for the latest bubble tea we tried. Till next time!

Foodie - Raja & Murni

This time we decided to try the well known Restoran Murni's (Sunway Mentari Branch). What's special about this restaurant was their unique dishes in their menu which can be checked here.

Mee Raja Blackpepper

This was what I ordered, their signature dish, the Mee Raja Blackpepper that consisted of noodles with shrimps, squids, minced chicken, added with some....fries, chips and squid sausages. My thought? Confused and mixed feelings, what were you trying to represent? The Western? The local delicacy? Snacks? However, looking at this dish then did made me hungry somehow and here's what I thought.

Overall Rating 6/10

Taste Wise: The fries and the chips were so bland, it ruined the dish. The mee raja was there to save the day, yay...

Presentation: Confusing. So much emotional baggage can be felt over here. Look at the photo above!

Price: Considering the portion, it's reasonable but not the taste. The taste felt like a 4 bucks meal. 

Mee Raja Meletup

Here's what my friend ordered, the Mee Raja Meletup. By Meletup, it was so spicy you will feel it in the morning - if you know what I mean

Nevertheless, I would still recommend you guys to head over here to see for yourself what they have in their menu. From Maggi Germany to Nasi Goreng David Beckham. Yeah you read it right. 

Warning: Any dish with Meletup at the back of the dish names are most definitely spicy. So tread carefully.

Till next time!

Foodie - Nasi Kukus Tonggek

Nasi Kukus Tonggek, IOI City Mall Putrajaya (Photo source )

Located in Food Junction, IOI City Mall Putrajaya, Nasi Kukus Tonggek served different varieties of Nasi Kukus dishes. My friend Scott and I went our way to try one of their signature dishes, Nasi Kukus Sotong Tonggek & Nasi Kukus Salted Egg Chicken.

Nasi Kukus Salted Egg Chicken

This was their latest dish added into their menu and honestly, it's just meh for me, it wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. 

Overall Rating: 6/10

Taste Wise: Just okay, nothing much to say. Keep your expectations to a minimum.

Presentation: Slightly creative with the can full of rice and curry gravy, good save 👍

Price: This was RM11.90 which was reasonable for its portion, but sadly kind of disappointed for its taste.

Nasi Kukus Sotong Tonggek

This next dish, Nasi Kukus Sotong Tonggek, was so good I almost forgot about that Salted Egg Chicken. 

Overall Rating: 8/10

Taste Wise: Looooooved it! The crispiness of that squid, damn! Breathtaking! Like Keanu Reeves breathtaking! It mixed well with the curry gravy, y'all should try it!

Presentation: Even though it's the same as Salty Egg Chicken, but somehow the Sotong made the dish more seductive. 

Price: For RM14.90, it's worth it. The portion was nice, the taste was awesome, I mean just look at size of that squid!

We most definitely recommend this place for you to try the next time you're at IOI City Mall Putrajaya. 

Fun fact: They just opened another branch at Midvalley Megamall, you can check it out.

Stay tuned for our next review!

Foodie - Mediterranean Sea Salt Sofuto for Your Soul

Available in all Family Mart Stores

Honestly, I did not expect to test taste this at all. But here I am, in awe with their latest ice cream flavor, the Mediterranean Sea Salt Sofuto! They just started introducing this flavor on the 3rd of July and you can find this at all Family Mart stores.

Mediterranean Sea Salt Sofuto, Family Mart IOI City Mall

That first taste feeling, Ya Allah, so good! Sudah lah sedap, murah lagi bah! It only costed me RM2.90, yeah that cheap! That sweet but kicking after-taste flavor really improved my mood and it got better and better with every taste that I almost forgot I have life problems.

Overall Rating: 8/10

Taste Wise: So good it affects my mood!
Presentation: Nothing much to say, that's what most ice cream looks like. duh!
Price: Reasonable price of course! RM2.90 for quality taste is rare!

Stay tuned for our next review!

Foodie - Mulut Cafe & Dessert

Mulut Cafe - Night Time

"Bah makan mana malam ni?"

"Makan di Mulut lah." 😑

Sooo many lame jokes can be made about this place. But in all seriousness, I had so many things to say about it, starting with how their service was a bit sloppy.

Mulut Cafe & Dessert is located at Tampin, Negeri Sembilan and opens from 5pm - 12am EVERYDAY. The place is always overcrowded, finding a parking spot was mission impossible. 

After we ordered our food and drinks, the waiter came over to tell us our orders weren't available and asked us to change. Few minutes later, he came by again telling us the food (Nasi Ayam Kicap) needed 20 minutes at least to prepare as they were out of rice and suggested us to change, and I did, again. But in spite of everything, the time taken for them to prepare and deliver our food and drinks didn't take that long. 

Cheese Burger (Single) - RM9.50

Here's what I ordered (since Nasi Ayam Kicap didn't worked out), just look at the sauce! It looked delicious and suitable for its price but a bit fragile though, as fragile as people's feelings nowadays. However, I am impressed with their homemade patties that were used instead of the usual processed ones. 

Overall Rating: 7/10

Taste Wise: Delicious but the sauce was a bit much, probably because I liked my burgers with lesser sauce instead. Felt like I have to eat it carefully to prevent it from falling apart.

Presentation: No side dish was placed, straight to the point. You may request for their side dish separately. 

Price: Convenient price for its portion.

UFO Burger (Single) - RM10.50

Here's another one that my brother ordered. They only added 2 Onion Rings as representation of UFO Burger, the rest were pretty much the same. 

Side dish, French Fries - RM5.00

The only side dish we ordered while waiting for our burgers to be served that time.

And that's our honest review for today, as always, they also served other types of dishes such as Nasi Lemak Bamboo or Nasi Ayam Kicap as well as different choices of desserts. 

I would recommend this place as a place to chill and hangout with your friends and family as they provide live bands for entertainment. 

Stay tuned for our next review!
