At Kame Sushi

Last Friday my friends and I went for a quick birthday celebration for the boss. We went to Kame Sushi at Desa Sri Hartamas.
The restaurant is rather small and cozy, with only a couple of rooms and the sushi bar the restaurant is impeccably private. The uniqueness is that they serve you no menu. What would happen is you will need to share with the chef what is your budget of the meal (per person), what you like and don't, and the chef will surprise you.




The sushi bar and the chef


Appetizer serves with vegetable and fish/seafood cake


Sashimi as the started dish


Grilled Mackerel with salt


Fish & Prawn cake


Steam egg with gravy


Sushi


Chocolate wrap ice cream as dessert

The above dishes were budget at RM150 per person (exclude taxes). It was good, fresh and delicious. 
One thing though, while serving us the meal they will tell us how to have it. Like which sashimi to use with which sauce and it is very serious thing to do so (a friend of mind was stop mid chewing when they saw him dipped in the different sauce hahaha).

I believe those that appreciate the tradition of sushi food, the freshness of the seafood and raw fish would find this very pleasant and enjoyable.

Watch your wallet if you decide to drop by Kame *wings*

Breaking habit

I'm back! Well for awhile. 
I've been rather than busy, I'm losing focus. Barely can keep track of what I'm supposed to be doing and what need to be done. My momentum has got weaken and I need to spend more time on what they call; living a life.

So how are you doing? Good? Been busy and productive? Living life to the max?
Okay, I'm catching back up my cooking habit. It's been months from my last serious cooking.

Here are what I need for the cooking (the sardin is for something else =D). I will also share a quick steps on how to cook the above dishes. Pardon my cooking style and it would be nice if you'd like to share different ideas.




Lotus root, peanuts and pork ribs soup
1 Lotus roots, washed and sliced horizontally about 2-3cm
De-shelled peanuts, if you use the shell peanuts, soak them in water about 5 to 10mn and de-shelled them.
300gram Pork ribs, washed and cut about two fingers sizeWashed 1 carrot and cut as cube sizeSmashed and keep the whole few cloves of garlicWashed and soaked dried squid and shrimps
Washed garlic chives and cut about 5cm length (for serving)



Bring water to boil; add smashed garlic, dried squid, dried shrimp and pork ribs. Cook about 5mn, add lotus roots, carrots and peanuts. Lower the heat to simmer, season to your taste and cook about 45mn or till the peanuts as soft as you want.
 


And you have got yourself a nice soup.

Steam minced pork with preserve salted fish and eggs

Depend on your taste, use between 100gram to 200gram of preserve salted fish







Minced 300gram of pork (mix with fat) and add the salted fish in, you may add a touch of sugar to keep the flavor balance.
Beat 2 eggs and add the minced mixture, mix till all blend.





Steam the mixture about 15mn. The reason you need pork mixed with fat because it will soften mixture during steaming.  
Serve with fresh vegetables like cabbages, cucumbers, long bean or wing beans (or other vegetable that can serve fresh). Your choice if you would like to have the vegetable steam or cook.


Sugar palm fruit dessert

For those who never seen or had this before, this is the sugar palm fruit/seed. Easy found in tropical countries and serve as dessert with just sugar syrup and coconut milk.





  

  

Peel the sugar palm fruit skin, wash and drain all the water excess.
Boil a cup of water and add 1/2 cup of sugar with a dust of salt
Lower the heat and add three teaspoons of coconut milk, keep boiling about 5mn.
Remove the syrup from the heat and serve it cold.

Pumpkin sago dessert

Washed and cut the pumpkin about two fingers size
Soak sago in water about 15mn

 

Bring water to boil, add 1 cup of sugar, a dust of salt. After sugar dissolve, add pumpkin and lower the heat and simmer about 15mn. Add sago and leave the heat on another 10mn. Add 1/2 cup of coconut milk and off the heat.

May I present to you a really easy and good meal (I will skip the stir fried vegetable for now).

Oh, I didn't stop there. Let's have some juice, ABC juice. Apple Beet root and Carrot. This is good for your liver and anti-toxic.

At AcmeBar & Coffee

I was out and about on the Easter Sunday. It was a tiring day, but I generally enjoy being where I was. Thanks God for the opportunities, benefits, and every little things that I have gained till present.

The event of the day was to catch up with some friends, and chilling. Went to AcmeBar & Coffee, the place was absolutely amazing. I love the design, the interior, the environment, the meal and almost everything. 
Well, they said you paid for what you wish for, this is considered a medium or rather high class cafe where what you paid for the high tea in ABC can be used to purchase a pretty decent meal in an average restaurant.

They do have set Working Lunch (weekday) at RM 49++, a weekend brunch buffet at RM 99++, and a weekend brunch buffet at RM 199++ with free flow sparking wine.

It is definitely in the list of my favorite place, but economically advise, I shall not spend so much time there *okay-meme-face*

Introduced Lou Sang at home, end up need to answer so many questions.
What is it? What is it for? What are the ingredients? How to eat? blah blah blah...



The best place to wake up and have breakfast is at home with the ones you love

At TokioCafe

New cafe has opened in Cyberjaya sometime in December 2011. It was an average cafe, with fusion food and nice environment, however, I find it a little bit costly for the food.



Creamy Soup



Japanese Club Sandwich



Seafood Spaghetti with Marinara sauce



Pesto Spaghetti



Frozen Yoghurt cake

Nevertheless, this is something nice to add on to the very jungle style of Cyberjaya.
