I have captured many food photos on my phone. That's the fun that I have with my el chepo smartphone which my brother helped me buy not too long ago.
He wisely selected this phone for entry level tech-challenged people like me. It's a Microsoft Lumia and cost me a mere RM426.00 (if I remember correctly). No point getting a fancy schmancy Samsung Galaxy/iPhone if I only know how to text and receive calls hah..hah...

So anyway, I shall post them here before I forget what and where I had the food, lest we will have another Mystery Food post.
Boite a Bijoux
This bakery opened recently near where I work. So apa lagi? Go lah and nom nom nom.
 |
| Garlic Chicken Bacon Cheese. Very garlicky. |
 |
| Banana Caramel something something. Very nice! |
 |
| German Chicken Sausage something something. Pretty good. |
 |
| Salted Egg Yolk Croissant. Yummeh! |
 |
| I can't believe I paid RM13.80 for this. It wasn't that great. Just ordinary. |
The staff here are friendly and very engaging. They greet you and recommend stuff to you which I think is nice.
Hokano
For my partner's sake, we went Japanese for a change instead of you-know-where.
 |
| Sashimi Bento for him. |
 |
| This I forget the name. It has rice, eggs and beef. Very tasty. |
 |
| Spider Roll to share. |
 |
| My favorite Hokano Roll. The lady boss offered to prepare half portion because she was afraid I couldn't finish. I told her, don't worry, sure can finish hah..hah..hah... |
This one opened before Boite a Bijoux. What I saw inside was not tempting but I was attracted to the sandwiches displayed outside.
 |
| Looks nice but tastewise just so so. |
 |
| The bread was dryish, not so fresh and the filling didn't taste that great. Not coming back. |
Chillis
The lights are pretty dim here and photos don't come out nice, so I didn't snap any except this magnificent Skillet Brownies with Ice Cream.
I want that again.
Texas Chicken
It has been a long long time since I had fast food. This meal happened one weekend at the office when I had no idea what to eat.
 |
| The chicken was moist and tender, not bad. I was curious about the biscuit and it was very nice. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. But it was sweet. I would prefer a savory one. The coleslaw, bleaks! |
That's it. Now I can delete my food photos to make way for new ones.
 |
| One for the road. |
I am drooling over the salted egg yolk croissant ....
ReplyDeleteIt's very good. The other day I bought another four hee..hee...
DeleteOh dear...I'm one of those with fancy schmancy (as you put it) iPhone but use very little of its features....haha! :D
ReplyDeleteYou said "for your partner's sake"...so I'm wondering where Japanese food rank in your choice of cuisine? I think I've seen the spider and hokano roll before in one of your blog posts.
A Texas Chicken outlet opened up in my housing area too recently but I've not tried. That coleslaw really does look horrid! >.<
Not that recent, I've been eyeing for more than a year now I think :P
DeleteHmmm...Japanese food probably ranks no. 5 after Indian, Malay, Western and Korean! Well, since Texas Chicken is in your neighborhood, you must try it :)
DeleteRG, I'm not sure what you were eyeing but the Texas chicken in my neighbourhood is only a few months old! >.<
DeleteWho can resist Chili's brownie ice cream? Who??? That, in my opinion, is the best dessert in the whole freaking world!
ReplyDeleteNobody! hee..hee..
DeleteYour el chepo phone can shoot very nice and sharp photos. Good enough and you are a smart & wise spender. No wonder all accountants are rich unlike me who doesn't do maths and chalked up bad debts. LOL
ReplyDeleteI like that Garlic Chicken Bacon Cheese because I love garlic. I have seen this spider rolls in Japan and they looked like hairy tarantula spiders there.
Hello...not all accountants are rich lah....
DeleteWahhhhhhhh!!!! Food porn!!! Salted Egg Yolk Croissant. There was some issue for that at one place not too long ago, right? Must be so very nice to make such a big deal out of it. Have not had all those Japanese delights since the good one we had here closed down. The rest here, not worth the money...and the calories.
ReplyDeleteI think I should get a phone like yours, no need to bring my digicam all the time. Can take nice pics in dim dark places?
Yes, do get a smartphone. You will love it and never want to revert to the old one. If the place is dim, then you could use the flash but the picture will not turn out nice. At Chilis that day, I happened to be sitting under the light.
DeletePhong Hong, you are making me very hungry with all the food photos. I am drooling and tummy growling! Ok, now I am going out looking for something to else...hehehee...
ReplyDeletehah..hah..Nancy, I hope you had something nice to eat :)
DeleteWow! Overloaded with good-looking food. I am eyeing that salted egg yolk croissants.
ReplyDeleteNow you have more spaces in phone to capture more food photos. ^^
Now capturing food photos has become a habit hah..hah...
DeleteJust came from Real Gunner blog, about Texas Chicken, your's also has Texas Chicken, hehe...
ReplyDeleteThe first time I tried Texas Chicken was in Singapore long, long time ago.
DeleteHi Phong Hong, I think I like the Japanese food more than the others. I tried the Texas Chicken at Sunway during my last trip to KL. They have free flow of soft drinks then. The fried chicken is good.
ReplyDeleteKimmy, I have been avoiding fast food but that day, fated lah. LOL!
DeleteI read that the moonlight bakery sells very tasty cakes but I am sure that they are not as nice as the ones you bake. Are you going to make some salted egg yolk croissants since you say that they are tasty?
ReplyDeleteMun, you have such great confidence in me LOL! I have never attempted a croissant before so that will have to wait hah..hah...
DeleteI also like taking pictures of food I ate:)
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice hobby!
DeleteI just tried the Texas Chicken last week and the biscuit really impress me, fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYup, I also like the biscuit but better if it were a savory one.
DeleteHi Phong Hong, all the food look delicious and tempting. Your cheapo phone take good pictures mah. :))
ReplyDeleteEnjoy.
Have a nice day, regards.
Amelia
Hi Amelia! Not bad, huh? But those higher end phones take much better pictures. Wait lah, let me save some money LOL!
DeleteNice photos, all looks really yummy, my favourite here spider roll :) you make me hungry now.
ReplyDeleteThe spider roll is good. Gee, I want that now hah...hah...
DeleteOf all the glorious food up there, one caught my eye.. the dessert from Chillis... itu yang saya Mahu! hahahaa
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, that one is a glorious dessert!
Deletethat's a nice catalogue of different meals ... i'm tempted by the savoury garlic chicken loaf and the sweet caramel banana :)
ReplyDeleteThose two were among the best! Thanks for dropping by, Sean :)
DeleteI want that skillet ice cream too!
ReplyDeletehah..hah...go for it, Joyce!
