Dinner @ Magna Carta, Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg (Old Court House)

Alex call me on Saturday night and asked me out. I was actually plan to stay home enjoying my quiet night alone.  He keep on pestering me to go out with him and his friend from singapore.

So we met up at Magna Carta.  I have been there previously and I was not very satisfy with the food and drinks there.  Anyway I think I'll give it another try this time.  Hopefully everything will turn up great.

When I was about to step out from home Alex called again ask me to go over ASAP as the food that they ordered has been served.  Alex and Peter has ordered Kueh Pai Tee, Pepperoni Pizza, Mango Salmon and Salad.

My previous visit I have ordered their Ice Black Coffee, it was not so good but this time round it was great.

Also the Kueh Pai Tee was not so fresh the last time but this time it was fresh and yummy.  I can actually smell the freshness of the stuffing.

The pepperoni pizza look so yummy.  Pizza is covered with lotsa pepperoni.

It was a thin crust pizza.  Even the pizza is cold the crust is nice and crunchy.

Photobucket

The vegetable they use for the salad is very fresh too.  The sauce for the salad is not that heavy.

The dish i like most the Mango Salmon.  I don't really like cook salmon.  If the fish is not fresh or the chef do not know how to cook it,  the fish taste is very fishy.  Normally i will take it raw with soya and wasabi.  The Salmon they use is very fresh.  The salmon has been pan fried to well done.  It was served with mashed potato, salad and mango bits.  Can actually taste hints of mango in the mash potato.

Good job Magna Carta. I will sure to go back and try for more again.

Ais Kacang @ Swee Kang, Jalan Haji Taha (*HALAL)

After breakfast on Saturday morning, Wendy called asking if i am interested to go Swee Kang for Ais Kacang with her.  I told her that i am not interested as just finish my laksa.  When i hang up the phone Alex started to tell the other about the umai.  That umai has got Tze Chung and Doreen excited.  Then i call back wendy to tell her that we are going.  As Tze Chung and Doreen wanted to go.

I ordered ABC.  His cendol is very nice as it is soft and smooth.  ABC contain shaved ice with Cendol, glass jelly, red bean, jelly, sago ball and it was top up with evaporated milk and syrup.  I cannot see the palm sugar syrup but i can taste there is a hint of palm sugar taste in it.  I guess they have acutally mixed it with the evaporated milk.

Luncheon @ After 4, Jalan Palm (*HALAL)

It was a day before our muslim friend start their one month duty for Ramadhan.  They will be fasting during the day time.  Atika asked me and Wee out for lunch.  We went to After 4 as it was nearby my office.

It was a cosy and cool place to have lunch.  Setting of the place is very comfortable.  I like to sit at their patio.  To bad on that day the patio is full.

Lunch promotion set, RM5.50 consist of rice with meat and a glass of soft drinks.

Both promotion is available from 11am - 11pm

One thing i keep noticing about the advertisement board is at the bottom of the board.  It says "No Pork, No Lard, No Cigarette, No Alcohol". Normally No Pork, No Lard, No Alcohol is for the halal food.  Wonder any of the food is been cooked with Cigarette?

So i decided to order from their set lunch.  I ordered Thai Chicken Rice set.  It was fried chicken serve with Thai sauce.  te sauce is Sweet, Sour and lil bit spicy.
