I picked up Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng for mum at Say Yes Cafe and then headed to Halla Holla for my brekkie.
I was very well behaved. I forgot to tell them to put both eggs into one plate.
A protein packed breakfast with good fats from the avocado.
And of course, a shot of iced black.
Later that evening my partner and I headed to 1 Utama. I suggested we try out Dave's Bistro. When we got there, the place was packed! Maybe this is due to the Chinese New Year with many families gathering for a meal.
I did not take photos of the interior due to the many diners.
Caesar Salad for sharing. It was very good except that it was salty. Too salty!
This accidentally came to our table. The one we ordered, we requested for the roasted pork belly not to be cut. I like to see my food whole so that I know I got the complete portion. The server realized this and quickly came to take this plate away.
This is the correct order. I initially wanted baby back ribs but it was not available. I shared this with my partner, with me eating the lion's share.
The skin was super crispy. I tend to compare western style roasted pork belly with the Chinese version and I prefer siew yoke. Call me biased.
This was my partner's spaghetti bolognaise. The sauce is made with a combination of pork and beef. I tried a bit including the meatballs.
This was not bad and the meatballs were pretty good. Though I still prefer my mum's spaghetti sauce.
I would say that that was a very good dinner except for the chef's heavy handedness with all things salty.
I don't know if this is related to what I ate. I woke up this morning feeling exhausted and drained of energy. I am sensitive to certain food/food ingredients that way. But I feel better now.
Dear friend, your meals look scrumptious. I wouldn't like salty Caesar salad either.
ReplyDeleteI love Caesar Salad and this one would have been perfect (because it had the right amount of dressing) if not for the excess salt!
DeleteI am glad that you are feeling better. I have had mornings like that and it's no fun waking up feeling lethargic.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. I suspect that I reacted to one or more of the food ingredients.
DeleteWe sometimes felt tired after sleeping because according to the simulation hypothesis, some theorists suggest that when we sleep, sometimes the simulation updates new codes so we felt tired after waking up 😂
ReplyDeleteOh, really? First time I heard of this hah..hah...
DeleteAh, I wish holla holla will open a full kitchen in their midvalley stalls. Now only got sandwiches and pastries bread only. 😢
ReplyDeleteOh, I had no idea that their menu is limited. Maybe they don't forsee people going there for just eggs/side dishes.
DeleteHehe....I see your partner's favourite...a Santa Fe salad lookalike! ;D I'm also biased like you....I like siu yuk. That's why I don't usually order western-style roast pork as I would always compare the hefty charges for "kwai loh" siu yuk compared to cheap, Chinese-style siu yuk from a coffee shop that tastes loads better. >.< Wow, does it really need 4 sauces? What are the 2 sauces on the plate...mustard & apple sauce? I've never seen siu yuk served with fish sauce/garlic/chilli in my life. You were very well behaved with portions...only one plate for sharing and a pretty small serving of meat...well done! :D
ReplyDeleteLOL! Ah, yes, I remembered you mentioned comparing and preferring siu yuk! We are so alike in our taste hee..hee... That yellow sauce did not have any distinctive taste, so I don't know what it was >.< Well behaved, eh? hah..hah... because I was uncertain what their portions are like and dare not order more hee..hee...
DeleteGood morning 🌞🌄 PH, good that you are aware of how your body react to certain food/food ingredients, that is important!
ReplyDeleteBut sometimes I don't know which ingredient since many go into a dish >.<
