Food Blogging (Finally!)

Hi people! I am back! Been so busy with assignments that I almost died from the pressure. Haha! Good thing I am still alive and very much kicking!

Anyway, before I start on my very first food blogging post, I would like to wish CONGRATULATIONS to my cousin Jade and her husband, Henry for their new born baby! Born on 19.03.2009 at 12.:18am, its a healthy baby weighing 3.01kg. I am so happy for them! Wishing them all the best and welcome to parenthood!

Definitely a match make in heaven! I am sure their baby will look as beautiful as them too! I am so happy for both of you darling! *hugs*

Anyway, back to food blogging:

This is from a hawker stall in Mccalister Road (I don't even know how to spell the name of the road! Kyah!). 3 agents were available that day: Agent T, Agent L and me, Agent Q. It was pretty dark that day so we were not able to take a clear picture of the hawker stall's name but its the one with the firewood pizza. The next time I go there, we will definitely take a good look at the name of the place.

There is a variety of stalls here. It was pretty crowded the day we went so we had to sit inside. Come to think of it, I think it was Agent T who led us there instead of the crowd but whatever goes. Hehe!

I decided to go for the tomyam maggi which is located just in front of the entrance of the indoor sittings.

At first glance, its quite decent presentation wise. The colour was just right and the texture was slightly on the thick side (I like that in my tomyam). However, it fared rather poorly taste wise. It was more on the spicy side than sour (ratio of around 60:40). The fish was definitely not fresh and the hefty price of RM5.50 for mine (coz I wanted to add several meat balls inside) definitely does not please me. I don't think I will come back again for this.

Agent Q: 3.5/10
Agent L: 4/10
Agent T: Never tried

Next was Agent L's Singapore Beehoon which picture I totally forgotten to take. Okay, I admit I am not a big fan of beehoon's, thus my ignorance towards any kind of food which contains any trace of beehoon in it. Agent L gave it a 5/10.

What Agent T ordered was rather special. Its actually some sort of noodles with baked crab meat in the sidelines. Mind you, the crab meat is not genuine crab meat but crab sticks. Regular crab meat would probably cost a bomb. Its a rather interesting dish coz its the first time I saw something like that. The noodles were soft and nice while the crab meat was baked to a nice texture. It seems as if its baked with cheese but its not. I don't know what its baked in though.

Agent Q: 6/10
Agent L: 6/10
Agent T: Too busy eating to rate but I think he will give it around 7/10 since he ordered it several times before.

This dish came together with the crab meat dish. Both of them cost RM10 so I don't know how much each dish costs. This is the bomb of the evening. Its actually just fried chicken but I don't know how the seller fries it until it comes out so nice and juicy! It tastes like Tori Karaage (Japanese fried chicken) but at a more affordable price. Absolutely delicious! It even comes with a special sauce which tastes like thousand island (looks like it as well!) and a small serving of salad at the side.

Agent Q: 8/10 (Delicious and finger licking good!)
Agent L: 8/10
Agent T: 8/10

The final item of the day is grilled fish or rather called Ikan Panggang. This was seriously bad. The fish is not fresh at all! It has a very rough texture and the smell itself tells us its not nice. It looks okay presentation wise though. Will definitely not order it again! Its from the stall at the middle of the hawker place. There is another one at the front but its not that one.
