Memorable makans in 2012!

In the previous post, i blogged about the memorable food in London. Well, here are the rest of memorable meals and food for 2012!!!

1. Hong Kong! 

Everything is Hong Kong is delicious!!!!

2. Pantai Seafood restaurant

On the same road as Lala Chong, we are of teh view that the food here is better!

3. Dave's Pizza Pasta Vino

We have eaten here before but only the pasta. Last year was the first time we had their salads and their pork ribs. Excellent!

4. Food court in Sunway

Our fren took us here a while ago and when my wife started to work in Sunway, we started to frequent this place a lot. The dishes are all pretty delicious!

5. Swine's

Pork! Nuff said.

No wait - have to add one thing - the best desert ever!!!! French toast with peanut butter, maple syrup and bananas!!!!

6. The food at Nepal

I love it! Spicy food, authentic!

7. Las Vacas steakhouse.

The most expensive steak i ever had! Kobe beef steak!

8. Lemon Garden cafe

We went here for our honeymoon - the best buffet in town!!!!

9. Indian rice along Jalan SS13/1A (can't remember the name of the place)

The wife suddenly wanted to eat Indian food - i jumped at the chance as i know this may be the only time we'll eat Indian rice together! It is still the only time - and the food was pretty good!!!

10. Kim Gary restaurant

We started going here quite often and we always end up eating the same thing - i'll have the mushroom rice with pork chop while she'll have teh vegetable rice with pork chop. Satisfying!

11. La Fite

First time eating at such an expensive joint! Probably the last time as we cannot afford to eat at these kinda prices!!!

12. Paella at Barcelona

Eating in London (2012)

Food in NZ

New Zealand was memorable for so many things. Among which is the food we had there! Here is the list of the wonderful food we had, in no particular order:-

1. Whitebait

This is something special at the West Coast area. Whitebait is something like "ikan bilis". It was used as bait until people realise that it is delicious on its own. The pics above show the pattie made of whitebait fish. Yummy!

2. Salmon sashimi

Kinda ironic that the best sashimi i've had all my life is in New Zealand!!!! But it's no surprise when the sashimi i had at Lake Tekapo was just down the road from a salmon farm!!!

3. Fish and chips

We had fish and chips at a few different places - and it's all pretty good! The fish is just so fresh!

4. Abalone

The locals call it "paua". We were wondering what it was and when told it was abolone, we decided to try some. Dun be put off by the weird colour - it was really delicious!!!

5. Steak

The beef in NZ is really nice. I opted for this beef fillet mignon (with gourmet potatoes, pea puree, onion marmalade and red wine jus) for our dinner in one of the vineyards (Marlborough Vintners Hotel). It was cooked to medium perfection and the taste of the beef was simply lovely!

6. Fergburger

You HAVE to try Fergburger when at Queenstown!!!! If you do not want to take my word for it, just ask the many people who stand in line queueing up for a burger on a daily basis!!!

I had the one with almost everything - 2 beef patties, bacon (of course), fried egg, lots of vege. Satisfying!!!

7. Hot chocolate

The best hot chocolate in the world? Well, if i take into consideration the view we get when sipping the pipping hot chocolate on a cold winter's night, then i would say yes. The hot chocolate at Patagonia in Queenstown is soooo rich! We even tried the lavender flavoured hot chocolate! Lovely! The same taste with the smell of lavender!

8. Pasta at Queenstown

We went to this place - The Cow Restaurant in Queenstown - for the pizza - but to me, the pasta way better!!! The seafood was so fresh and the cream was just nice! It has fish, prawns and mussels in white wine sauce!!!!

9. Farm tea

We went for a farm excursion and in the middle of it, we were treated to a farm tea meal. With tasty pikelets! Lovely!

10. Pies at Arrowtown

Arrowtown is a nice place to visit if you're in Queenstown - and one of its main attractions is its pies! Lovely!!!! I opted for deer meat pie as the deer meat is also something recommended in NZ. It was so tender and juicy!!!

11. Brilliant breakfasts!!!

We had English breakfasts at many places - yes, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, toasts... yummy!!!!

12. Cheese platter

This was an interesting dessert i had - but wonderful!!!! Different kinds of cheese with crackers, honeycomb and grapes. The combinations were endless and each of them delicious!!! I had this after i had the steak in no. 5 above.
