Nautical food experience

Chili Queen — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 21:17:46 +0000

My girls and I went to all the way to The Ship for lunch. This is one of the few restaurants I would drive to just for their food and it’s always worth the trouble. Not only do I love their ship’s cabin furniture, I also love how their food still holds that signature English flavor after all these years.

While you can barely make out the seafood in the chowder served at other restaurants, The Ship’s seafood chowder features a giant green mussel, a jumbo shrimp and chunky pieces of fish and squid. Very yummy.

This is the first time I’m ordering the Grilled Chicken with Cola Sauce, mixed veggies and french fries. The sauce made with coke (cola) is interesting but a little bland.

The Chicken Maryland is definitely one of my kids’ all-time favorite. The portion is pretty big and we all jumped in to help lick the platter clean.

Had an In-and-Out burger

I’m glad I got to try out In-and-Out Burger before I left California. I’ve heard so much about it and I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have liked to have missed out on it. Anyways we won a free burger coupon, the perfect excuse to head down there pronto!

I’ve somehow misplaced the photos so I can’t post them here. But I love how simple the menu is, probably only 3 or 4 items on it but the burgers pack a ton of flavor.

I was told one guy ordered a burger with 6 patties which would, to me, seem like trying to eat a few mattresses stacked up on each other . How on earth do you get a burger that high to fit into your mouth?

Lunch @ Baja Fresh

I’ve been eating more Mexican food than I ever have, partly because there are just so many Mexican restaurants in California and we’ve found them to serve really good food.

This is the 2-taco shrimp combo we had at Baja Fresh served with rice and a variety of beans.

And here is my favorite new love, their Tostada Salad with chicken. Heaven! It’s fresh with heaps of guacamole and cream. It’s tasty piled high with the different types of salsa and pickled peppers from their salsa bar! If I ate this every day, I might be able to reduce my ab workouts!

I’m definitely going back for another round of this amazing Tostada .

Dinner @ The Cheesecake Factory

Chili Queen — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 19:38:54 +0000

I’ve read so much about The Cheesecake Factory in food blogs that there’s no way I could be in California and not try it out myself. Indeed the place was crowded (meaning it must be very popular) but the good thing was we didn’t have to wait, we were seated immediately.

Wading through the menu was something else. There’s just so much to choose from and we had to tell our server to give us more time to make a decision.

We ordered the shrimp platter which was a big serving considering we were served bread rolls for appetizer. The shrimps were fresh and crispy, yums.

The chicken (I forget what it’s called ) came with a huge plop of mashed potato and too few broccoli. But it was good nevertheless.

And of course, the star of the evening has got to be this super luscious Red Velvet Cheesecake. And there’s so many cheesecakes on the menu, if I had ordered more, I’d be asking does alli work?

Taco, first things first

Chili Queen — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 18:40:44 +0000

The first place we stopped at right out of the airport was this buffet place. I’m sorry I was so tired and hungry I didn’t notice the name of the restaurant. All I could think of was what food I could pounce on the minute I hit the buffet line .

As you might’ve guessed, I headed straight to the taco area and quickly slapped together this scrumptious taco. One bite and I was in heaven, so happy I would’ve treated myself to a Dutch Master. Just kiddin’!

Dinner @ Deutsches Gasthaus

On a whim, we decided to check out the Deutsches Gasthaus, a bar that serves German food. We got there early, way ahead of the happy hour crowd so we practically had the place to ourselves. Nice !

We ordered the Premium Sausage set (or something like that) which came with a veggie salad and a potato salad and this heap of scrumptious sausages and the cool thing is that they all tasted different.

The Grilled Platter came with a veggie salad, a heap of french fries and an assortment of grilled lamb, chicken, pork and more sausages!

You may not know what a duet dha is but you should know that these yummy sausages are known as ‘wurst’ in German, though there really is no reason to call them that when they are clearly the ‘best’ tasting ever!

McD’s sundae – half cup to be drunk, not eaten!

chili queen — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 07:25:08 +0000

These days, when we buy a McDonald’s sundae, we get a half cup for the full price! Being that we believe in the power of positive thinking, we’re looking at this cup of melted sundae as being half full as opposed to half empty.

This is the serving we got at the 1 Utama outlet downstairs where they take one look at us and decide we should be served a half cup, not a full cup like for some other customers.

Ice cream is fattening, as we all know, and I’m sure McDonald’s is serving us a half portion for our own good. Thanks, Mac, for helping us regulate how much we eat, lest we should over-indulge and have to torture ourselves endlessly on fitness equipment afterwards. Oh and could we please have a straw instead of a spoon so we can drink our melted ice-cream?

dinner @ Fish & Co.

chili queen — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 06:57:41 +0000

We’ve probably walked past Fish & Co. at 1 Utama a thousand times but never stepped inside. Recently my son had dinner there with his college friends and he says the food there is pretty decent for the price.

He took us to try their Fish and Chips one night. I would never have believed we could get fish and chips for around 10 bucks. But yes, it’s true, their piping hot, crispy New York Fish and Chips is served in a pan and comes topped with melted cheese.

Pretty yummy. Kinda reminds of the ones we’ve had while on disney world vacations when the kids were much younger. The drinks are expensive though so we don’t order any. Instead we ask for water which, as I found out, is supposed to be served with the meal but we won’t get it unless we ask for it.

I also found out that they don’t tell you about ongoing promotions with certain credit cards or certain days of the week. I stumbled upon some of their promos by chance, and if we’d known about those when we were there, we could’ve gotten an even better deal. Most restaurants have a promo card on each table to highlight their specials. Not this place! Looks like they won’t tell you unless you ask for it. We haven’t gone back since .
