Fong Lye Taiwan Restaurant @ The Garden

How many times you guys has stepped into The Garden shopping mall since it's opening? This is my 2nd time since it's opening and the reason it's still paid a visit to one of the restaurant there. Fong Lye Taiwan Restaurant located at 3rd floor which is just opposite side of Sushi Zanmai Japanese restaurant.

The ambience was cozy yet comfortable, a nice place for gathering and having lunch with a bunch of friends/colleagues.

Our order list, however, I can't understand why additional tea cup need to pay extra RM3? Ain't it just an extra cup?

Hot Taiwan "Gui Hua" oolong tea.. RM12 for 2 persons + 1 additional cup RM3.

My friend has ordered "three varieties of supreme diced chicken" set lunch, 三杯鸡套餐 - RM19.80. Every set meal comes with a platter of three appetisers, a bowl of rice with minced pork and soup of the day.

Noodle set meal - "Taiwan minced meat sauce noodle", 台湾炸酱面 - RM17.80.

Last but not least - "Chicken with scallion sauce" set meal, RM19.80. It just a normal chicken set meal, nothing special. I would more prefer their bowl of rice with minced pork. It taste good!

葱油鸡套餐。。

Soup of the day - Ginseng Chicken Herbal Soup (洋参须鸡汤)

Total bill end up with RM83.25. Will I pay for 2nd visit to this restaurant? I guess the answer is yes if my friend ask for it.. =)

RM10 durian buffet @ SS2

The durian season has begin!!! Everyone seems crazy about durian within these few months as the durian season fall on June - August. And now, durian buffet even available at SS2, Petaling Jaya, thus, me and my makan gang has heading to SS2 for our durian feast!

There are few stalls available and it's located just behind police station and BHP petrol station at SS2, you can easily spot it if you pass by the "bridal street" at SS2.

We have tried out the RM10 "Makan Sampai Kenyang" Pahang durian stall. Hope that we can eat till drop.. =P

There are actually few stalls at same area, thus you can even find RM5 All you can eat durian and also RM9 All you can eat durian buffet available.

Please bear in mind, for RM10 durian buffet, what you can get is only kampung durian but not D24, red prawn and some others branded durian. But, cheaper durian doesn't mean bad and branded durian doesn't mean very good isn't it?

While waiting some of our makan gang arrive, we have asked the staff there to get us few durians for shooting and makan-ing too.

The first round durian was good, we are pretty satisfy for the durians they gave to us.

See the durian? Even is just kampung durian, but still good right?

However... When it goes to 2nd and 3rd round.. The durian quality has dropped. We found out that the durian they gave us was hard and less taste. We are pretty disappointed and start complaining to one of the Malay staff there. Were requested him to give us nice durian like 1st round.

My part of makan makan gang..

And know what? The complain did works! The malay guy has gave us one big bonus for this durian buffet! D24 durian!!! And this is the best durian we have ever had in this durian buffet.. I guess sometimes consumer really need to sound out so that we can have a better service and better treat~ =)

In conclusion, my quota for durian in this year has finished used. So please try again next year! From now on, I have to drink a lot of plain water, green tea and also 100 plus isotonic drink to cool down my body heat.. This is what you need to pay for after durian feast~ ^^

After serveral consideration, I decided to post this food review in chinese version. Thus, apologize for those reader who are not able to read chinese. Hopefully you guys will enjoy the chinese version and the display pictures too.. =)

有时候我不得不佩服部落格的伟大，就在一个机缘巧合之下，无意间的给我发现了这一间台湾餐馆 - 新宝岛餐厅，坐落于SS2，Mobile 油站的斜对面。之所以懂得它的存在皆是因为这家餐厅的老板娘邀请了不少的部落客去试吃她的美食，再将它宣传上网。。

老板娘还是道地的台湾人哦！这一天，我终于有机会到新宝岛餐厅一去品尝它的美食。。好吧！就让它的美食来满足馋嘴的我吧！

新宝岛餐厅外观。。

营业时间：Daily: 12pm-3pm; 6pm-11pm. 餐厅的位子并不多，大概不到十张桌子吧，而且时常满座，因此记得要早点到或者打电话去定位吧！

我们选择了4-5个人的晚餐配套 (RM98.00++)，配套包括：冷热饮料，布丁，任选四样佳肴，以及白饭任添。


桌上的饮料有八宝凉茶和台湾酸梅水，根据老板娘说冷的酸梅水更好喝哦！


我们叫了“奶油鳗鱼”，撒在炸鳗鱼上的奶油麦片好好吃哦，值得推荐的一道菜！

再来的有“竹筒鲜虾”，共来了两个竹筒，里面各自盛满了六只鲜虾。。

很像在竹筒里游泳的鲜虾吧？ 厨师加了一些白酒在汤里，因此汤里飘起了淡淡的白酒的味道。将汤淋在白饭里，在配其它的佳肴，很不赖哦。。

糟了！我竟然忘了这道菜的大名也！我想因该是“发财金菇西施舌”吧？有谁懂吗？请纠正我。。 =）

第四道佳肴来的有“台湾锅烧芋头鸡”，将浓浓的汁捞来配饭，不错的选择。。

甜品来的有“拔丝罐头”，精彩的在于您可看到在一间台湾餐厅竟然有一位印度大兄在为您表演拔丝。。台湾vs.印度？

印度大兄首先将烧热的芋头沾满麦芽糖，再将它放进冰水里冷冻，芋头瞬间变硬咯！好神奇噢！

拔丝罐头来咯！

最后的有“绿茶布丁”，滑滑嫩嫩的布丁，口感不错噢。。

账单总计的有 RM102.90。。这是一间很不错的餐厅，老板娘的服务也超好的，很值得推荐。。
