Ta-Krai Café

This is my 1st visit to Ta-Krai Café that’s located in Juru Auto City. Been wanting to visit this place for a long long time, but many times, my suggestion was turn down. However this trip, I insisted to try out the food which is operated by Log that is next to Ta-Krai Café.

Ta-Krai Café is managed by Log and it was established for almost 2 to 3 years. From the external, hardly could see anyone dine in during lunch especially on the weekends, however, it’s basically full house during working days. Perhaps the surrounding customers around Prai Industrial Estate is visiting this place for lunch and also Friday night, you will see a lot more customers dining there.

As I mentioned before, I am not really a Thai food fan, however, once in awhile will definitely yearning for it, perhaps I like the spiciness.

Anyway, a simple appetizer to start off the lunch, Prawn in Bread (RM5-00), some people call it prawn toast. Many would want this as snacks especially with a group of friends drinking beer or wine.

While we were viewing through the menu, they were recommended Kheng Som Pla Tup Tim (RM25-00), it’s a deep fried fish and cooked with Thai special sauce. It wasn’t that spicy, but it does has its kick as in sourish. This is also cook with cauliflower, and other vegetables as well.

When you’re into Thai Restaurant, Tom Yam soup (RM10-00) is something that you didn’t want to miss. And that goes to me too. A Tom Yam Seafood Soup that is made of sourish broth, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce, crushed chilies, etc and cooked with assorted seafood like fish, squid, prawns and so on, that will make the soup tasty and mouth watering.

Other than the spicy food, Fried Kailan with Prawns (RM8-00) is something simple, guess many places will have this dish.

Takrai Chicken (RM12-00) – Lemongrass Chicken, something different from what we normally seen in the menu, and it’s easily make too.

Since everyone is going for steam rice, I wanted to have something different thus a Ta-Krai Fried Rice (6-90) was specially ordered.

A glass of Amra Juice is also refreshing after a hot spicy meal on a hot sunny day.

Double Good Restaurant, 好好

I’ve heard many friends told me about Double Good in Penang Island, and Indonesian Prawn is one of their signature dish and highly recommended by lots of people. I’ve not patron to the mentioned branch before, however over the weekend it was conveniently I brought my parents to the Auto City branch instead.

Straight away, I ordered Indonesian Prawn without hesitation. I tasted the curry paste has some salted fish in it. And my family and I prefer the one in Kampong Benggali compared to this because of the prawns given are obviously bigger than here and the price that charged is more reasonable.

Some greens, vegetables with garlic was my compulsory dish.

Pork ribs stew was another dish that I’ve ordered. Something different as I was told many that patrons to Double Good will have the 3-cups chicken (三杯雞).

Last, we have their Signature Beancurd (招牌豆腐).

Food serving is rather small and total damage is about RM64.10, do you think it’s expensive? Oh yes, the service was absolutely satisfying and also very attentive.

Golden Triangle Indo Chine Restaurant & Sensation

Sometimes having too much of Chinese food, you will tend to find some other food to try, and that happens to all of us last Sunday.

Since all of us would like to try out some new outlets in Auto City, Golden Triangle was the place that we chose.

It was a quiet Sunday and not many people dining in. Thus, service was attentive.

I do realize the waitress are not local, they can’t speak proper English however they were very helpful in a sense that they will explain to us what are the recommended dish in Golden Triangle.
A Curry Fish they called it. Is actually deep fried the fish and put the spicy sauce on top. The fish was fresh and the meat was not over fried.

Mom loves Soft Shell Crabs, so we have a plate for that. She was pretty satisfying with that too.

A Pandan Chicken. Something normal, it will not go too far if the taste doesn’t suit us.

Stir fry squid with bay leaf. If you like the bay leave smell, guess you would like this.

For the greens, we have something simple, like Kailan in oyster sauce.

Overall the food are appetizing, and service isn’t too bad. I supposed is because of less customers.
Here are some deco for viewing.

Chicago Rib House (revisit)

Have anyone had come across any roasted port meat pizza??? I personally have not, and not even know there’s such pizza till I re-visit Chicago Rib House on June 21.

When my family scan thru what they want to order for themselves, my brother-in-law and I were filtering thru the menu and wonder what to order. The last time we came was on Mother’s Day, and have had some pork ribs that were recommended by their outlet manager.

So, this round we are going to have something different, other than those normal stuff that we had order.
I have myself a Hawaiian Chicken Pizza, though this is kind of normal among the others, but taste wise I can say it’s some how better than Pizza Hut. But, I realized they put lots of onions on it.
Hubby got himself a BBQ Pork Chop. I was kind of sceptical when he ordered that. But, to my surprise, it was so delicious. The meat was tender too.
And, sis ordered a deep fried mushroom as a starter for everyone to munch. To our surprise, the mushroom is not just filled with batter, but, it’s tasty too. It comes with a bowl of English mustard, which is completely nice to accommodate with these mushrooms.
Another sis of mine, have herself a BBQ Chicken. Well, that to me it’s kind of normal, but yet, the meat are tender too. I wonder did they put anything like soda bicarbonate.
Ok, here comes the Roasted Pork Meat Pizza!!!!

Look at the dough; it’s thin, and crispy. Needless to say more about it but grab one and eat it!! Cuz, I would tell you it’s yummy, delicious, tasty!!!

Tao Authentic Asian Cuisine, Auto City

Tao Authentic Asian Cuisine – when we first saw this name, I heard the services was lousy, food was expensive. However, a year later, they opened a branch in Auto City, Juru. So, you could imagine how good or lousy of their services?

I have never been to this place, due to the above mentioned. But, why am I here this time? Well, out of curiosity that’s why am here, second reason is a free treat from family, so, why not, huh?
[haha, that’s the main reason]

When I entered this place, first word from me was a ‘Wow!’. Just look at these pictures… it’s nicely decorated into a Balinese design, it was so cozy to dine in here. They even have man-made lagoon, water fall, and so on.

This is the only outlet which has a lounge where you could have a glass of beer after you have your meal on the other side.

Total 8 of us, we were just ordered, ordered and ordered. The waitress that took our order kept reminding us that every wastage of 100gram will be charged RM10. We were just looked at her and smiled. Cuz, these are the bunch of glutton here, how could have wastage? [grin]

Look at what we have ordered…

Hot & spicy scallop
Assorted sashimi
Assorted sushi
Tempura
Seafood teppanyaki
Pan grilled lamb (wonder why Japanese food has something so western)
Curry lamb
Salads
California rolls
Cawanmushi
Unagi maki
Pan grilled salmon
Cold soba
Last… Papaya Salmon

Which we do not know what is it, but the waitress kept recommending this to us. Well, since this is highly recommended, we gave it a try.

Oh ya, did I tell you that orange juice & green tea are free flow?
