Blue Reef Fish & Chips II @ Tanjung Bungah

And we're back to Western food. Part I can be found here. 

Cream of Vegetable Soup. Little sister who hates vegetables loved this. Oh, the irony. 

I love me some salmon. Here it's pictured with some couscous and tomato salsa. First time trying couscous and honestly, it tasted pretty good! The greenish sauce wasn't good though. Tasted odd.

Just look at that chunk of salmon!

Dad shared the seafood platter with little sister. Good choice, you can even choose the type of fish you prefer! Comes with calamari, scallops, prawns and loads of chips. Can easily serve 3 people. 

Oh yeah, comes with a salad too. Now that is value for money.

Mom's grilled chicken breast with paprika. 

Creme brulee! First time trying this too. Thought it was going to taste like a flan but I was so wrong. You know the creamy custard they put into cream puffs? Imagine that and ice cream mixed together to form something so light yet rich in flavour. 

 They even torched the top part to give it a shiny layer. Don't worry, it's actually a sugar coating. Crystallised to make it as hard as candy. Awesome.

Blue Reef Fish & Chips @ Tanjung Bungah

Disclaimer : I know this is really, really late. No worries though, I have tons of photos to make up for the delay!

This mother's day, we didn't really think of where to eat because it felt just like any other weekend. It's either somewhere nearby or that Taiwanese place Dad loves so much. Well, familiarity does breed contempt. Too much of a good thing may turn into a bad thing. Ah, such cliche(d) lines, yet still undeniably true.

So we decided to try out the new place, Blue Reef. (Not so new, apparently, after Googling the place) Tucked away within the Casa Permai housing area, the place would seem as if it's out of place. I mean, hidden from the main road, surrounded by houses? There are a handful of other restaurants next door, but the location still seemed a little odd.

Boy, was I wrong about that. The entire place was fully booked for the night, even though we reached at 6.30! First thought : The food must be fantastic. So we insisted on waiting for one of the previous tables to leave. Yes, we were that curious about the food to endure the half hour wait. 

And it was SO worth it.

Seafood chowder. Quite tasty, the breadstick definitely helped too!

7-Up float; bubbly.

Grilled fish (forgot the fish! sorry) on a bed of mashed potatoes; 

loved the mash as there were bits of pickled gherkins

Heart shaped capsicums!

Their specialty - fish and chips. You can have it beer battered,

Or with breadcrumbs. Both are equally enjoyable.

As for our last thought? The food IS fantastic!

Pang's Hainan Seafood @ Tanjong Tokong

Don't you just love a simple yet tasty Maggi noodle dish? 

Drenched in the most delightful brown sauce, this one's a must-order every time we come to Pang's.

Quite a big portion, I must say. Enough for a family of four.

And yes, there are a ton of prawns under the heap.

Next is our veggie dish. Love the crunchiness of the Brussel sprouts here. Addictive. They do it pretty simple, with just a handful of chopped garlic, no sauce. Still turns out great though.

Stir fried lala. Or clams. The spicy sauce wasn't even necessary to fully enjoy the fresh lalas.

And this is what keeps people coming back for more.

The crabs in sweet and sour sauce. Remember, SWEET AND SOUR. 

The sauce has got so much kick to it you can't help but slurp it off your fingers. 

Yeah, the crabs are not bad themselves either but the highlight is definitely the sauce. 

You can even order fried buns (mantou) to scoop up all the leftover sauce from the crabby wreckage.

Just don't mess with Hook.
