As usual, I just scrolled Grabfood and for some reason or other found the Mala Mala Chicken Rice Bowl from Daporlah@COOX Glo Damansara very alluring. My experience with mala has been good and not so good. But hey, who knows this might be a good one.
Side track a bit. This was last night's dinner.
And the night before.
I love soup and they are the most convenient food to eat when prepped ahead and kept in the fridge or freezer.
Now back to my mala mala chicken.
It smelled good. So I eagerly dug in.
Not bad, eh. The chicken was super crispy and the mala paste was very tasty. Spicy but not overpoweringly spicy but my heart rate went up a bit boop..boop - boop..boop... I rather enjoyed this meal and I won't mind ordering it again.
Then yesterday, I revisited The Naked Lunchbox, via Grabfood of course. When I placed my order right before 12:00pm, the next delivery window was 2:00pm which was ok lah. Can tahan.
I got me the Peri-Peri Roast Chicken & Rice which I remembered enjoying during the MCO.
Well it was as good as it was before. The chicken was well marinated and very moist and tender.
I also loved the spicy and tangy peri-peri sauce.
The steamed veggies were done just right though I wished that there were more broccoli than cauliflower heh..heh.. This time though, I felt that the portion size was quite generous and I was very satiated.
This was Belle Belle yesterday evening, not very happy because I fed her cheap(er) food. Haiz...
Not crazy about mala but your mala chicken does look good! Nicer than the peri-peri. Our daily number of cases here is going up and up by the day, though not as bad as in Sabah, so I am not all that keen on going out which means that I will not have a lot of things to blog about. We'll see...
ReplyDeleteYou can always blog about what you whip up in your kitchen :)
DeleteI will eat this Mala Mala Chicken Rice Bowl when I resume normal diet again. It is cruel looking at your yummy food when I cannot eat. Haiks!! I noticed all your black bowls. You must be using the Korean ones.
ReplyDeleteI love cauliflower more than broccoli. Bring on!
Yes, I specially bought a Korean bowl so that I can enjoy my kimchi jigae properly!
Deletei dun think i can handle spicy mala mala. My heart rate will go up triple beats. Belle is so choosy over food now...i thought she is the one with big appetite and even eats ah Girl's portion.
ReplyDeleteBelle Belle has gotten used to the good life, so has become choosy. LOL! Her appetite has slowed down. Maybe due to age.
DeleteThe mala mala chicken rice looks delicious. So is the roasted chicken. Can see that the chicken is moist and tender. Belle does look very gloomy and sad.
ReplyDeleteBelle has been like that lately. Her health is not so good.
DeleteOh dear, when I hear the words "mala mala", I can't help but feel fiery on "both ends"! :P Your naked lunch box looks good (I too, like TM, love cauliflower more than broccoli) but too bad I'm too far away for it to be economical. P/S: Aiyah, this Belle2 should understand-lah, we have a budget to keep (especially during this pandemic), so a mix of cheap and more pricey food has to be balanced.
ReplyDeleteLOL! This one was quite toned down in terms of heat. Belle Belle has become choosy unlike her old self where she would just wolf down whatever was put in front of her. I noticed that her appetite is not as good and she is showing signs of slowing down.
DeleteI'm not fond of Mala flavoured food, it just not suit my taste bud but my siblings love it especially Mala Xiang Guo. =.="
ReplyDeletehah..hah... actually me too, mala is not my favorite but somehow this one ngam my taste.
DeleteThe mala chicken is that spicy?? Not for me. I could imagine I am breathing fire after eating it. Lol.
ReplyDeleteNot as spicy as I thought it would be. Can tahan hah...hah...
DeleteI don't think I can eat that mala mala chicken. Would be too spicy for me. One of your soup looks like minced pork patty. Lolx! Belle Belle is so smart ah? Can tell the difference in the quality of food?
ReplyDeleteSmart....Belle Belle can taste the difference. Nowadays she can be choosy.
