Black Canyon - Jusco Bandar Perda

Happy Deepavali to all my Hindu Friends ; Lunch time semalam lepas aktiviti melipat kain setinggi Gunung Fuji, maleh nak masak kat rumah, dan tak de mood nak masak pun, aku & family pegi Jusco Bandar Perda. Lunch kat Black Canyon.. My all time favourite lunch place. My preffered menu is always the Salted Fish Fried Rice. Perghh.. mmg sedap.. always.. been to this place for many times and many locations (Perda, Kuantan, Johor Bahru), my order is always the Salted Fish Fried Rice plus with Prawn Tomyam.

Tapi semalam, aku try something else plak. Spicy Stir Fried Rice with Salmon and Basil... still with Prawn Tomyam... Wow.. not bad at all.. not bad at all.. They added fresh and crunchy pepper corn that really adds character and flavour to the dish. Krupp.. krupp aku bantai pepper corn tu.

The Prawn Tomyam? puhh.. the best!!.. really the best.. never failed to impress me. Even Mak aku pun cakap Prawn Tomyam dia sedap..

A ++ !!

Sar Hor Fan for Wifey, i guess that went well with the awesome super sour refreshing Lime Juice.

Fried Rice Wrapped in Egg with Chicken and Prawn for the kiddos.. After lunch, ayah promise to go for icecream!. Hehehee..

Alhamdulillah, as always, i really enjoy the foods here and will definitely be back. Strong Recommendation!!

Afterall, Thanks to wifey. She belanja today's lunch.. Insyallah, Allah akan memberkati rezeki Yang dan dilimpahi lagi rezeki yg banyak dan berkat.

Din - Bawal Panas : Air Merah, Kulim

Semalam, aku n Mrs lunch kat Din : Bawal Panas kat Air Merah, Kulim. Berhadapan dengan RnZ. Pernah aku try sekali dulu kat Bandar Perda dinner Bawal goreng panas.. (actually 2 kali - sbb the second time, dah tak tau nak pi mana).. hampeh.. nak garing sangat sampai jadik kering dan overburned, dan ikan tu aku rasa dah lama in the fridge. Tak pe, try sekali lagi.. Kali ni kat Kulim plak. Mana la tau..

I learned that nothern region folks (or in Kedah only, i m not sure) mmg appreciate Bawal Goreng Panas.. Freshly Fried Pomfret. Bawal ni (Bawal Hitam), mmg jenis ikan yg mempunyai teksture daging yg lembut. Even tulang dia pun lembut. Boleh henjut sekali dengan tulang tulang dia.. tambah kalau goreng garing sikit.. Kalau aku, dengan kepala ikan tu sekali aku ngap. Tapi kalu tercokik tongah tokak ekau, mau terjengkang jugak ekau setongah mati.. Jadi, berhati2.

Jenis2 ikan favourite aku -

Laut :

Jenahak - .... perghhhh, wa cakap lu.. nak pulak Mrs aku yg masak,.. kari plak, mmg mantap. The best in the world. Serius.. Bukan nak jack, tapi... mmg the best. Hehehee..

Terubuk - tak lain tak bukan.. semestinya di panggang. Kat Kulim ada satu port best ikan terubuk panggang yg terbaik. Berhadapan dengan Kelang Lama (Kelang as of "e" taling). Org dulu dulu sebut Kilang.. jadik Kelang la.. Nanti kalau aku pegi sekali lagi, aku akan put up in the log. Terubuk ni, macam yg korang tau, byk tulang.. so, berhati hati kalau nak membalun. Tak leh nak jadik lauk sangat... best meratah. Skill menarik tulang kena cekap, baru bleh enjoy ini terubuk. Org Sarawak depa belasah jadik ikan masin jek. Aku dengar org cakap, telur ikan terubuk ni, sekilo mau cecah seratus hinggit.. Wallahua'lam.

Sungai :

Forever No 1 : Baung. Subhanallah... Ikan baung ni, mmg dari aku kecik, adalah ikan sungai favourite aku nombor wahid. Masak apa? ... Asam pedas.. tapi kena Mak aku yg masak.. Masyaallah.. tak payah nasik pun takpe.. Boleh lupa alam sekitar dan keadaan ekonomi yg sedang kawat sekarang ni.. Alan Greenspan kalau announce Federal Rates increase by 20% or kalau Pak Lah announce minyak naik balik $0.80 pun, boleh sampai tahap, rilek dulu.. kasi settle ini ikan baung dulu.. Nanti baru kita attend permasalahan tu.Kalau gi mancing pun, always target aku ialah baung.. udang ka apa ka, hangpa sapu.. aku mmg tunggu baung.. Kat area kulim/kedah ni, kurang popular ikan baung ni.. tak tau sbb apa..

Berbalik pada Din Bawal.. cis.. wa merapu panjang sangat. Hehehee..

Aku amik nasik separuh, ulam dan sayur pucuk paku.. then order Bawal goreng panas satu.. then tunggu.. dekat 10 mins, bawal pun sampai.. freshly fried. yummm... Aku pun cubit sikit.. ehh. .not bad la.. terus aku balun tak tinggal..

Drinks - air mata kucing aka longan aka bidara. macamacam nama la buah ni. Alhamdulillah.. best..

Breeks - Gurney Plaza

Breeks - Gurney Plaza. It is the second time we dine at this joint. The first one was ok.. This time, it's better.. why? i dont know. Maybe the menu choices we made are better then before, the environment is less crowded as well.

Tired after a 7 hours of terrorizing shopping walking fighting with Dea and Iman at Queensbay, we headed to Gurney Plaza for dinner. Actually to find the other white EIC Kebaya for Yang.... Dinner is a compliment.

Anyway, @ Breeks : Seafood Rice for Dea and Iman, Baked Dory with Pasta for Yang and Cajun Chicken Chop for me to chow + Fresh Brew coffee. The coffee is surprisingly good.

Price : Fair.
Foods : Not bad at all. Chicken Chop is ok. Baked Dory with Pasta - Yummy. Seafood Rice is great.
Dang! : We requested for warm water and it took them 30 donkey minutes to send three glasses on the table.... and after we asked from 3 waiters. Luckily they dont charge warm water.. probably thats why.

Rating : 2.7 out of 5.
