REVIEW : McDonald's Chilli Mayo Beef Burger - Worth the Hype or Just Another Burger?

As someone who enjoys trying new menu items whenever McDonald's launches something new, I couldn't resist giving the Chilli Mayo Beef Burger a try.

To be honest, when I first saw it, I wasn't expecting much. It looked pretty simple compared to some of McDonald's previous limited-time burgers. No fancy ingredients, no towering layers of toppings, just a beef patty with chili sauce and mayo.

But sometimes, simplicity works. The moment I took my first bite, I immediately thought of a Ramly burger. Not exactly the same, of course, but the combination of chili sauce and mayo brought back memories of those late-night roadside burger stalls that many Malaysians grew up with. You know the kind: extra sauce, slightly messy, and always satisfying after a long day.

What I liked about this burger is that the flavors felt familiar. The chili sauce gave a sweet and mildly spicy kick, while the mayo balanced everything out with a creamy texture. Neither sauce overpowered the other, making every bite enjoyable.

What surprised me most was how comforting the burger felt. It wasn't trying too hard to be premium or trendy. Instead, it delivered something simple that reminded me of local burger flavors that Malaysians already love.

For me, that's probably the strongest selling point of this burger.

It's not the kind of burger that will completely blow your mind, but it's the type you'll happily order again because it's familiar, affordable, and hits the spot.

My Rating

🍔 Taste: 8/10

💰 Value for Money: 8/10

😋 Satisfaction Level: 8.5/10

⭐ Overall Rating: 8.5/10

Final Thoughts

If you're expecting a gourmet burger experience, this probably isn't it.

But if you're looking for a simple burger with flavours that remind you of a classic Malaysian Ramly burger, then the Chilli Mayo Beef Burger is worth trying.

It's familiar, comforting, and perfect for those moments when you're craving a quick burger fix without spending too much.

Would I buy it again?

Yes.

Especially on days when I'm craving a Ramly burger but don't feel like hunting for a roadside burger stall.

REVIEW : Ah Cheng Laksa: Simple Food, Solid Comfort

I honestly lost count of how many times I’ve eaten at Ah Cheng Laksa, but somehow I never actually wrote a review about it ...Maybe because it already became one of my comfort food spots.

Whenever I’m craving asam laksa but feeling too lazy to cook it myself, this is usually one of the first places that comes to mind...

Ah Cheng Laksa has actually been around since 1960, and their recipe originated from Alor Setar, Kedah. Maybe that’s why the taste still feels very traditional and comforting. They’ve sold more than 2 million bowls yearly, so clearly a lot of people keep coming back for it.

This time I ordered:

🍜 Asam Laksa

🥗 Rojak

🍹 Iced Longan

Honestly, this combo just hits different.The asam laksa was as good as always. The broth had that nice tangy and spicy flavour with the right amount of fish taste that makes it really addictive. And honestly… asam laksa with petis udang just makes everything even better ... The sweet and rich flavour from the petis really balances out the sourness of the laksa perfectly.

The rojak was good too... thick sauce, sweet, slightly spicy, and perfect to eat together with the laksa. And the iced longan was definitely needed to balance out all the bold flavours...

One thing I like about Ah Cheng Laksa is the consistency. The taste stays familiar every time I come here. It’s not fancy or overly hyped, but it’s the kind of place people keep returning to because the food is just comforting.

My Rating ⭐

🍜 Asam Laksa : 8.5/10

🥗 Rojak : 8/10

🍹 Iced Longan : 8/10

🏪 Overall : 8.5/10

CBTL Kaya Toast Review: Worth The Hype or Overrated?

Tried the Kaya Toast breakfast set at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf today because I kept seeing people hype about it… and okay, I get it now 😂

The kaya toast was actually really nice...crispy outside, soft inside, with enough butter and kaya to make it feel satisfying without being too sweet. Then makan together with the telur separuh masak and hot latte… somehow the combo just works so well. Very simple breakfast, but comforting type of simple.

Honestly, this is the kind of food you technically can make at home, and yeah maybe some people would say it’s a bit overpriced for toast and eggs 😂 But I think the ambience is what makes the experience different. Sitting there slowly enjoying the breakfast, coffee smell everywhere, chill café vibe before starting the day… that’s the part people are paying for too.

Didn’t expect a basic kaya toast set to hit this hard...Now I understand why people keep recommending it. If you haven’t tried it yet, don’t miss the hype.

REVIEW: Caffe Latte at The Maruu Ara Damansara: A Simple Takeaway Coffee Spot

Looking for a cozy café in Ara Damansara to grab a coffee on the go? I recently visited The Maruu at 20, Jalan PJU 1A/42B, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, for a takeaway caffe latte, and here’s my honest review.

Ambience & Seating

Even though I took my coffee to go, I had a chance to glance at the café. It has a simple, clean interior with a cozy vibe. The seating is arranged neatly, making it a calm spot for anyone who wants to sit for a short break or casual catch-up.

Coffee & Menu

The caffe latte was smooth and decent—perfect for a casual caffeine fix—but not particularly bold or memorable. The Maruu also offers other drinks and light snacks, but I only tried the coffee. Prices are reasonable, making it a convenient choice for a takeaway.

Service & Comfort

The staff were polite and attentive, and my order was ready in a reasonable time. The café is clean and well-organized, which makes picking up coffee a hassle-free experience.

Accessibility & Parking

The café is easy to reach by car, but parking can be difficult, so takeaway is definitely a convenient option if you’re driving by.

Who It’s Good For

This café is ideal for a casual takeaway coffee while running errands or on your way somewhere. If you’re looking to linger or work, the space is cozy but not particularly striking.

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐/5

Pros:

• Takeaway service in a reasonable time
• Friendly staff
• Clean and neat café

Cons:

• Coffee was decent but not very bold
• Ambience is simple (less impressive if staying)
• Parking can be difficult

Final Thoughts:

If you’re nearby and want a takeaway coffee in Ara Damansara, The Maruu is a solid choice. It’s convenient, comfortable, and gets the job done—but don’t expect it to wow you.

REVIEW : Bumbu Babah Nasi Padang in Sepang with Spicy Ayam Habuk & Gulai Urat

Craving authentic Nasi Padang in Sepang? Bumbu Babah at Kota Warisan’s Suria Industrial Park is the place to be! Famous for its hearty portions and bold flavors, this restaurant is perfect for anyone looking to enjoy traditional Indonesian dishes with a spicy kick.

During my visit, I savored the Ayam Habuk and Gulai Urat. The portions are generous, so it’s definitely a filling meal. The spiciness is just right for those who enjoy a bit of heat, enhancing the rich flavors of each dish.

Bumbu Babah offers a wide variety of menu options and set combos, making it easy to sample multiple flavors in one meal. From tender meats to flavorful curries, each dish reflects the authentic taste of Nasi Padang.

For walk-ins, the service is okay, but if you take away, it can be slow. On my takeaway order, I was even given the wrong set! Thankfully, I checked my order before heading home—otherwise, it would have been a disappointing surprise.

The price is quite affordable, making it a great option for a satisfying and budget-friendly meal in Sepang.

Despite the minor service hiccups, if you love spicy, flavorful dishes with generous portions and variety, Bumbu Babah Kota Warisan is definitely worth a visit—just double-check your takeaway orders!

Verdict at a Glance

Taste: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (Spicy & flavorful)

Portion: 🍛🍛🍛🍛 (Generous servings)

Spiciness: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ (Medium-hot, satisfying kick)

Service: 👍 Walk-in okay, takeaway slow

REVIEW : Worth the Wait? My Honest Food Review of MODU TRX – Samgyetang Specialty Korean Restaurant

Let’s talk about patience, hunger, and really good Korean soup.

I recently braved a 2-hour wait at MODU TRX – Samgyetang Specialty Korean Restaurant. Yes, two hours. Was I hangry? Absolutely. Did it pay off? Mostly.

The Queue Is Real 😅

If you’re planning to visit, here’s the truth: come early, bring a friend, or prepare for a long wait. Watching people shuffle in and out while your stomach growls is a test of character — or maybe just bad timing.

What I Ate

🍲 Spicy Herbal Samgyetang

Portion size: enough for two hungry humans

Taste: herbal, comforting, with a spicy kick that hits just right

Verdict: soup lovers, this is your dream bowl. Seriously, you’ll savor every drop.

🥬 Minari Pancake

Texture: crispy outside, soft inside

Taste: flavorful but a bit too salty for me

Verdict: still worth a try, but maybe sip the soup first to balance it out

The Price 💸

Yes, it’s pricey. This is not your everyday lunch spot — think of it as a treat-yourself moment. Worth it if you love Korean cuisine, maybe less so if you’re counting every ringgit.

🏆 Verdict: Is MODU TRX Worth It?

Yes… if: You love hearty, spicy, herbal soups, enjoy Korean flavors, and don’t mind waiting. The Spicy Herbal Samgyetang is comfort in a bowl and generously portioned enough for two.

No… if: You’re short on patience, not a soup fan, or sensitive to salty side dishes. The Minari Pancake might be too salty, and the 2-hour wait plus pricey menu can feel heavy on the wallet.

Bottom line: MODU TRX delivers on flavor and experience, but it’s an occasional treat, not an everyday stop. Bring patience, bring a friend, and savor every drop — the hype is mostly real.

Have you tried MODU TRX yet? How long did you wait, and did it live up to the hype? Drop your story in the comments — let’s see if the 2-hour wait club is worth it! 🍲

REVIEW : LèTen Chinese Muslim Restaurant at Mitsui Outlet Park KLIA

 Whenever I’m around Mitsui Outlet Park KLIA, there’s one place I now consider my go-to food stop — Din Tai Fung, located at:

📍 F-60A, Mitsui Outlet Park, KLIA 📞 03-8660 2388

What started as a casual meal turned into one of the most satisfying food experiences I’ve had near the airport.

⭐ Golden Custard Bun — My All-Time Favourite

I can never say no to this.

The Golden Custard Bun came out warm and soft, and the moment I opened it — that rich, molten custard flowed out beautifully. Creamy, smooth, slightly sweet, and incredibly comforting.

It’s indulgent without being too heavy.

This remains my forever favourite.

🔥 Wok Fried Carrot Cake — So Damn Delicious

Next came the Wok Fried Carrot Cake, and this dish delivered serious flavour.

You get that unmistakable wok hei aroma — smoky, slightly crispy on the outside yet soft inside. Every bite was well-balanced and not overly oily.

Simple dish, but done exceptionally well.

So. Damn. Delicious.

🦐 Steamed Rice Roll with Fresh Prawn Filling — My Top Pick

And then came the highlight of the meal.

The Steamed Rice Roll with Fresh Prawn Filling was silky smooth and wrapped around juicy, fresh prawns. Lightly drenched in savoury sauce, the texture was delicate yet satisfying.

Soft rice roll + fresh prawn = perfection.

This is officially my top favourite from the meal.

Verdict 🍽️

Dining here was absolutely worth it.

Each dish brought something special — comfort, flavour, and quality you wouldn’t always expect from an airport-side dining spot.

My personal ranking:

🥇 Steamed Rice Roll with Fresh Prawn Filling

🥈 Golden Custard Bun

🥉 Wok Fried Carrot Cake

⭐ Overall Rating: 9/10

Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to whenever I’m around KLIA ✨

REVIEW : A Taste of Local Comfort at Grandmama's in Gateway@KLIA2 (Terminal 2)

Located at Lot No. L2-75 & 76, Level 2 of Gateway@KLIA2 mall, Grandmama’s offers authentic Malaysian cuisine in a cozy, traditional setting. It’s a comfortable spot to enjoy familiar local dishes without breaking the bank.

What I Tried

🍜 Mee Curry

The mee curry was definitely the highlight. The gravy was rich, creamy and flavourful — comforting and satisfying with a nice home-style taste. The noodles worked well with the broth, making it a warm and enjoyable dish overall.

🍧 Cendol

The cendol was refreshing, but not really my favourite. It tasted quite mild and lacked the strong gula melaka flavour that usually makes cendol memorable. It was decent, but not something I would specifically recommend.

Atmosphere, Service & Value

The restaurant has a pleasant traditional ambiance that reflects classic Malaysian dining — simple and cozy.

Service was also a plus point. The waitress was friendly and welcoming, which made the dining experience more enjoyable.

Another highlight is the pricing. The food is affordable, especially considering it’s located in an airport — making it good value for money.

Verdict ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4.0 / 5)

✔️ Mee curry — comforting and worth trying

✔️ Friendly service

✔️ Affordable pricing for an airport

✔️ Cozy local dining feel

❌ Cendol — average

Overall, Grandmama’s is a nice place for Malaysian comfort food at a reasonable price. I would return for the mee curry, and the friendly service makes the experience even better.

The café has a clean, minimal aesthetic, and its location at the arrival lane makes it a convenient stop for travelers who want a quick caffeine fix or just a comfortable place to relax. Service was friendly and fast, which is a big plus when you’re catching a flight or just landed.

REVIEW : Order Pak Gembus via Foodpanda: Worth It Ke Combo Tak Kisah & Honeydew Latte?

 Pak Gembus Ayam Gepuk Kota Warisan – Real Talk: Combo Tak Kisah & Honeydew Latte (Foodpanda Takeaway Review)

Tengah hari tu I rasa nak makan sesuatu yang pedas-pedas, so I ordered from Pak Gembus Ayam Gepuk dekat Kota Warisan via Foodpanda. I pilih Combo Tak Kisah dan minumannya I ambil Honeydew Latte. Total sekali dengan delivery, RM27.20. Here’s my honest review.

🍗 Combo Tak Kisah – Sambal Power, Tapi Ayam Kurang Umph

Bila bungkusan sampai, seperti yang dijangka – makanan memang tak panas sangat, sebab biasalah kalau bungkus memang akan suam je bila sampai. Tapi I perasan ayam dia kecil, sejuk dan agak keras, so texture tu tak berapa menyelerakan.

Nasi pula suam-suam, not cold tapi bukan panas. Sambal dia tetap menyengat dan tempe goreng pun okay, tapi overall feel meal tu memang kurang sebab ayam tak garing dan dah sejuk.

Set yang I dapat:

Ayam gepuk (kecil, keras & sejuk)

Nasi putih (suam-suam)

Tempe goreng

Ulam & sambal

Sup kosong

🧋 Honeydew Latte – Sedap dan Menyelamatkan

Minuman ni memang best – Honeydew Latte dia creamy, rasa fresh dan tak terlalu manis. Sejuk dan menyegarkan, especially bila makan sambal pedas. Honestly, air ni menyelamatkan meal I hari tu.

🛵 Delivery & Service

Delivery okay, packaging pun kemas. Rider sampai cepat. Cuma mungkin makanan dah lama siap sebelum rider ambil, tu yang jadi sejuk. Tapi I faham, bila order takeaway or delivery, memang kena set expectation yang makanan takkan sampai panas-panas macam makan terus kat kedai.

📌 Final Thoughts:

✔️ Sambal memang padu

✔️ Air Honeydew Latte sangat sedap

➖ Ayam sejuk dan keras (mungkin sebab bungkus)

➖ Nasi suam-suam

💭 RM27.20 – boleh diterima kalau makan masa makanan masih fresh

Kalau you jenis yang prefer makanan panas, better dine-in atau makan terus lepas pickup. Tapi kalau order delivery, at least standby microwave untuk panaskan balik.

Sometimes it’s not about the food being bad — it’s about knowing what to expect bila order bungkus. For me, sambal dia still worth trying… tapi next time I’ll probably dine in. 😄

REVIEW : Kopihut Kota Warisan – Big Portion, Big Flavour, Bear in My Coffee!

Last weekend, I dropped by Kopihut at Kota Warisan and had a surprisingly satisfying meal. I ordered their Mee Wantan with BBQ Chicken and a glass of their signature Coffee Ais—and let me tell you, both items were on point.

The Mee Wantan BBQ Chicken came in a big portion—memang puas hati! The noodles were nicely cooked, springy and well-coated with their savoury sauce. The BBQ chicken, while not the most tender I’ve had, still packed a punch in flavour. Slightly firm, but well-marinated and smoky—it gave that nice chew that goes well with the noodles.

But the Coffee Ais stole the show for me! Creamy, rich, and kaw gila! The best part? It came with a bear-shaped ice cube floating in the glass—comel gila, seriously. Not only cute, but it kept the drink cool without watering it down too fast. Small detail, big impact.

✅ Big portion
✅ Flavourful BBQ chicken
✅ Fun and kaw Coffee Ais with bear ice

So, if you’re in Kota Warisan and feeling hungry, Kopihut is worth a try—good food, generous serving, and the cutest bear in your drink.

REVIEW : Thursdvys TTDI – A Hidden Gem for Coffee Lovers & Dessert Cravers

Kalau korang tengah cari port yang tenang untuk lepak, buat kerja, atau nak take a break dari hari yang sibuk – Thursdvys dekat TTDI memang kena try. I singgah sini baru-baru ni, and serius, I fell in love with their iced latte dan sepotong tiramisu.

Iced Latte – Super Rich, Super Sedap
First sip je dah rasa umphh! Dia punya espresso memang kaya, rasa coffee dia pekat tapi smooth gila. Tak terlalu pahit, tak terlalu manis – just nice. Lepas tu, bila ais cair sikit, rasa dia still maintain rich. Kalau korang jenis yang picky bab kopi, especially iced latte, Thursdvys punya memang tak mengecewakan. Smooth, creamy, ada rasa roasted notes yang padu – memang puas hati.

Tiramisu – Lembut, Tak Muak, Sedap Gila
Sambil-sambil minum kopi tu, I try a slice of their tiramisu. Portion dia elok je untuk seorang. Cream dia fluffy, sponge dia moist tapi tak lembik sangat. Bila makan sekali dengan kopi – fuuhh, memang ngam! Tak terlalu manis, and ada hint rasa coffee yang subtle.

Sambil-sambil minum kopi, makan tiramisu… rasa macam dunia pause sekejap. Chill habis.

Suasana & Feel Tempat
Tempat dia simple, minimalis tapi cozy. Sesuai sangat kalau nak datang sorang buat kerja, atau lepak dengan member. Lighting cantik, vibe tenang, and service pun cepat dan mesra.

My Verdict:
✅ Kopi iced latte memang wajib try – kaya rasa & tak watery
✅ Tiramisu sedap – light, not overly sweet
✅ Port chill yang sesuai untuk coffee time santai

So kalau korang dekat area TTDI atau lalu area tu, do yourself a favour – singgah Thursdvys. Duduk, order kopi, ambil satu kek, and enjoy the moment.

REVIEW: Nak Nak – Gochujang Chicken with Rice @ Gateway Terminal 2, KLIA

Kalau lalu dekat Gateway@KLIA Terminal 2 dan teringin nak makan something pedas ala Korea, memang confirm akan nampak Nak Nak. Antara menu utama dia ialah Gochujang Chicken with Rice – datang sekali dalam set dengan air refill. Tapi sedap ke? Jom baca dulu.

🍗 Ayam Sedap ??
Ayam dia memang tak mengecewakan – juicy, cukup rasa, dan disalut dengan sos Gochujang yang pekat, pedas, manis sikit, dan savoury. Flavour dia betul-betul buat orang yang suka spicy food rasa puas.

🍚 Nasi Sejuk
Sayangnya, nasi sejuk. Mungkin sebab dah ready pack awal, so bila time kita makan tu, tak rasa fresh dan kurang sedap bila digabungkan dengan ayam panas. Kalau dihidang dengan nasi panas, confirm rasa dia lagi kick.

❌ Tak Ada Side Dish
Dalam set ni, tak ada side dish macam kimchi atau acar. Just nasi dan ayam. So kalau jenis suka ada pelengkap rasa, memang akan rasa kurang sikit dari segi variety.

🍪 Sometimes Dapat Free Cookies
Yang menarik – kadang-kadang ada bagi small cookies free! Macam bonus kecil, tapi benda macam ni boleh buat customer rasa dihargai. Cookies tu rangup, manis sikit – nice touch lepas makan pedas.

🥤 Refillable Drink Included
Set ni datang sekali dengan air refillable – sangat membantu bila makan makanan pedas. Kalau haus lepas travel pun best, boleh refill sampai puas.

💸 Harga – RM20–RM30
Harga satu set dalam lingkungan RM20 ke RM30. Untuk lokasi airport, ini standard. Tapi bila ambil kira nasi sejuk dan tiada side dish, rasa macam boleh lagi worth kalau improve sikit presentation.

⏱️ Servis Cepat
Service laju dan staff friendly. Order tak ambil masa lama – sesuai untuk travellers yang nak cepat.

⭐ Overall Verdict
Rating: 4/5
✅ Ayam sedap, spicy Gochujang dia memang win
✅ Free refill drink + kadang-kadang dapat cookies
❌ Nasi sejuk & no side dish, harga agak tinggi sikit untuk value sekarang
Kalau Nak Nak boleh improve dari segi nasi dan tambah sikit side, this spot boleh jadi favourite ramai dekat T2.

REVIEW : Coffee Bean Tiramisu for Two – Is It Worth Sharing?

Coffee Bean Tiramisu for Two – Is It Worth Sharing? 💕

If you're a dessert lover (especially one with a weakness for coffee and cream), Coffee Bean's Tiramisu for Two might already be on your radar. I recently gave it a try—and here’s the honest scoop!

First Impressions

Served neatly on a white plate, the cake’s clean lines and the soft beige swirl of crème crown make it look more like a petite pâtisserie creation than a supermarket grab‑and‑go. It’s Instagram gold.

The Taste Test

• Texture: The mascarpone layer is pillowy and light, contrasting beautifully with the springy, espresso‑kissed sponge beneath.

• Flavor: You get a nuanced coffee hit—deep and aromatic, but never bitter—balanced by the cream’s mild sweetness and a whisper of cocoa.

• Crème Crown: That extra drizzle adds a touch of richness and visual flair. It’s optional, but if you love a creamier mouthfeel (and prettier photos), it’s worth the RM 2.80.

Portion & Shareability

It truly is “for two” in theory, but unless you’re a very disciplined duo, one person could happily tackle this after a light lunch.

Final Verdict

✔️ Picture‑perfect plating (especially with the drizzle)
✔️ Light, balanced sweetness with real coffee flavor
✔️ Easy to take away or plate up at home
✖️ Slightly more expensive once you factor in the Crème Crown add‑on

Whether you’re spoiling a date or treating yourself, this tiramisu nails the classic flavors and makes every bite look—and taste—like a little celebration.

REVIEW: Uncle Roger at Gateway Terminal 2, KLIA

I recently had the opportunity to dine at Uncle Roger’s outlet in Gateway Terminal 2, KLIA, and my experience was mixed. The ordering process was straightforward: after placing my order, I was assigned a table number, and the food was delivered directly to my seat. This efficient service was appreciated, especially in the bustling airport environment.

The food itself was decent—not exceptional, but satisfactory. The portions were on the smaller side, and considering the pricing, which ranged around RM15–RM25 per dish, it felt a bit expensive for what was served. A standout was the sambal belacan—it was flavorful and added a delightful kick to the meal. However, my friend’s tea was noticeably pricey at RM14 for a simple drink, which seemed quite steep.

The ambiance was casual and fitting for an airport setting, though it didn't offer anything particularly unique. Overall, Uncle Roger at Gateway Terminal 2 provides a convenient option for travelers seeking a quick meal, but it may not offer the exceptional dining experience some might expect.

Address:
Uncle Roger, Gateway@KLIA2, Level 2, Jalan KLIA 2/1, 64000 Sepang, Selangor, Malaysia.

Operating Hours:
Gateway@KLIA2 is open 24 hours daily, but restaurant hours may vary. It’s best to check Uncle Roger’s specific hours before your visit.

REVIEW : Martabak Manis Bangka 66: A Sweet Indulgence

Indulge in the sweetness of Indonesia

If you're a fan of martabak and apam balik, you're in for a treat! Martabak Bangka 66, located at Lot 60, Jalan Tasik Utama 4, Lake Fields, Kuala Lumpur, offers a unique Indonesian twist on these beloved treats.

A Sweet Symphony

While they offer a variety of savory martabak telur, I was particularly drawn to their sweet martabak manis. These massive, spongy treats are generously filled with your choice of delicious toppings. From classic chocolate and cheese to more indulgent options like Oreo, Nutella, Ovomaltine, and Lotus Biscoff, there's something to satisfy every sweet tooth.

I opted for the Lotus Biscoff flavor, and it was pure bliss. The rich, buttery taste of the spread combined perfectly with the fluffy texture of the martabak. While it may be a bit on the pricey side at RM23, the quality of the ingredients and the generous portion size make it a worthwhile indulgence.

Overall, I give Martabak Bangka 66 a rating of 4 out of 5. It's a great place to satisfy your cravings for something sweet and unique.

REVIEW: MCD CREAMY BUTTER CHICKEN BURGER

Hello there! Happy thursdalicious! Okay, hari nie  I nak review new burger from McDonald. McDonald’s Malaysia has unveiled their latest buttery concoction, Creamy Butter Chicken Burger and Nasi Lemak McD with Creamy Butter Chicken.

 

But for today review, I only tried Creamy Butter Chicken Burger.

 

It doesn't really feel like much sauce. The patty was most likely simply dipped in the sauce and placed inside a bun. When compared to authentic, creamy, thick sauces, this one isn't an award-winner. The first bite is not particularly impressive. It simply has the same McChicken burger flavor as before. Although the sauce had a slight saltiness to it, it complemented the mushy patties. Additionally, they provide a lot of vegetables, which I appreciate.

 

Overall: 3/5

REVIEW: WARUNG AMBO LAMAN GLENMARIE

Hi all! How are you? Lamanya tak update blog kan. Nak kata busy, tak la busy mana pun . Ada jer free time masa hujung minggu. Malas yang pastinya. Hahahaha. Okey hari ini just nak review satu kedai makan nie, actually dah lama pergi tapi belum review dalam blog. Kedai makan yang saya maksudkan adalah Warung Ambo Laman Glenmarie.

 Alamat :  38, Jalan Novelis U1/86A, Laman Glenmarie, 40150 Shah Alam, Selangor.

 

Keistimewaan warung Ambo ni, adalah menjual pelbagai jenis makanan orang Kelantan, termasuk nasi kerabu, nasi putih set, nasi dagang yang memang menu utama negeri Kelantan. Owner kedai rasanya orang Kelantan jugak.

Walaupun jauh dr Sepang, tetap ku gagahi jua. Hahaha. Makan punya pasal kan.

Konsep kedai nie adalah self-service tapi ada khidmat pembantu ambilkan makanan. Yang pasti kena la beratur. Tapi luckily masa kami sampai masih awal pagi dan tak ramai orang lagi. So customer flow tu cepat jer.

 

Tujuannya datang nak makan nasi dagang tapi sebab datang  awal sebelum pukul 10am, nasi dagang belum ready, so order lah nasi kerabu. Nasi kerabu ni memang datang satu set, dengan telur asin, sayur-sayur, dan juga keropok. Samaada ayam ke, daging ke, ikan ke, paru ke, atau yang lain-lain tu, ampa kena pilih sendiri set mana yang ampa nak.

 

Kembali kepada nasi kerabu tadi, bagi I kuah dia memang kena dengan tekak I, sedap makan dengan ulam2 and nasi tak kering. Kami jugak order satay tepi kedai. Agak keras texture isi ayam satay tu tapi bolehlah la makan. Kuah satay agak plain rasanya. Selain makan nasi kerabu, kami pun order jugak laksam and kuih muih Kelantan untuk take away. 

Dari segi harga, agak affordable. Lupa plak, teh ais beng depa sedap manis lemak2 gitewww tapi untuk orang yang kurang minum manis macam I nie, rasa jugak la kemanisan level 4/5 .

Overall, recommended la makan kat sini sebab byk choice of foods.
