Fish & Co...@Paradigm mall

Hungry and waiting for our order to be taken...

Hey peeps, recently a new mall has just open its door here in Kelana Jaya with this catchy name Paradigm (say it like PA-RA-DIME... ).. Not like the radio ad that made fun of themselves with people finding ways to pronounce the name of the mall.. the most memorable one was PA-RA-DI-GAM.. with a stereotype indian accent lolz...=)...Btw, this is just a funny and a bit sexual induce way to explain how is the proper way to say the malls name 

Well, my office is actually in Ara Damansara and Paradigm mall is literally about 10minute drive from our office. So,my colleagues and i decided to check the mall out. However, since it was our lunch hour, the first thing we look for is a place to NomNomNom...=)... And the first thing we saw was Italiannese, Tgif, PlanB, and many others but since non of us have tried Fish & Co, we decided this was the time to try. 

Upon first walking into the premise, we were happy to see that the restaurant was full but it was a bit off putting when we saw quite a lot of table trying to get the servers attention, some tables were not cleaned, and it clearly to see that a few tables have been waiting for their meal for quite some time. But the moment we were seated their food arrived and it look good and they did look content. That kinda gave us a bit of a positive feeling and proceed to order our meal.=)

Parames and Mervyn... humouring
me by allowing me to take their photo

shows the logo of the place

After looking through the whole menu we were kinda spoilt for choices, with the name Fish &Co.. its obvious that it was all gonna be seafood.. But we were spoilt for choices of style of cooking, taste, sauce and combination of seafood in a meal. After flipping through the menu , and since there was 3 (Three) of us, we decided to take Feathers and Fin which was a seafood combo that was meant for 2pax and a Creamy Chili Prawn Spagetti... Rather than paying about Rm6-9 for just a drink. We took the add-on of one drink (passionfruit/fizzyCola) plus one seafood chowder for only an addition Rm7.50 was awesome..!!!

This was the unique placemat

Their very own Newsletter
"The Of-fish-ial Catch"

This was the add-on that we took Chowder/Soup + Drink only for Rm 7.50.

After placing our order, we slowly saw that the place was slowly filing up fast. Thank god we manage to place our order. However, it took about 15mins before we got our drinks, and soon two bowls of chowder arrived at our table. since we ordered 3 add-on meals , we assume the third one was on its way.. Mervyn being the gentleman that he was gave Me and Para the 2 bowls that first arrive, we were halfway through the chowder only to realize that Mervyn has still not yet received his.. We kinda had to remind twice before his chowder finally was placed in front of him. 

Just when we were almost done with our chowders the server placed this gorgeous plate of delicious saucy spaghetti, and it definitely looked mouthwatering. The portion for one was  enough, but since we were there on a sharing basis we  were all excited to give this dish a try. We were all thinking that we'll wait for the Feather & Fins Platter for two to arrive, after waiting for about 15 mins after we finished our chowder we were only informed that the Platter would take another 20-25mins before it can be served. So what did we do ??=)... We attacked the Spaghetti.... hehhe and we truly enjoyed the taste, it wasn't the typical creamy sauce, the chilli balance the dish perfectly... !!!

After enjoying with the spaghetti, we still had to wait another 15-20minutes for the platter to finally arrived...  Have u ever feel soo hungry that u just wanna order everything but when u have a bowl of soup or a small portion of bread or appetizer and you just get full .. That u kinda wonder if u could eat anymore...=) ..So when it actually arrived to our table we were already half full, but teh food did looked delicious that we powered on and finish it.. Check out the Platter,

Look at the size of that...=)....

It comes with paella rice,

We were truly full from the seafood lunch, I guess it kinda was worth the wait .. The total time that were there was about 1hour45mins. From ordering, to finish the dinner and majority of the time we were busy talking and waiting. All the time waiting i couldn't help but eyeing other tables orders... I KNOW, im definitely coming back to try their fish and chips as it looks huge and about RM17 with a lot of choices for sauces... So, look out for my next blog on the fish and chips...=)

Me with the Platter.. Huge huh?? *Grinning*

So far i kinda enjoy the food but hate the waiting..=)

But there definitely be a next time..

Till then...Toodles~!!

Up to date i have been here 3 times so far, the first time there weren't much exciting flavours left, so that was the first time i tried and fell in love with the beloved Salted Caramel... =) On my second time, i came with my colleagues Mervyn and Parames and we decided to share a small scoop after a big lunch at Fish & Co (checkout that blog too..=)..), this time we shared the powerful peanut butter and of course salted caramel..=).. hehehe yippee....!!

Quesadilla + LycheeMelon Juice...=)

I love trying out new things...And normally whenever i go to the Chillies restaurants here in Kuala Lumpur, my most favourite thing to order is the Quesadilla. I know i couldn't make it exactly as it was from the chain restaurant. But i decided to try to make it as close as i could...=).. Lets see how i make it...!!=)

All the ingredient you need are as below,

1) Tortilla bread. You can get it at any supermarket.
If i could get, i rather use the garlic ones..=)

2) I used my home-made bolognese sauce (beef/chicken/vegetarian). 

3) Cheese, i prefer to mixed mozzarella and cheddar cheese or u can
choose either one will do.

 I started with putting a bit of butter in a pan on a medium heat stove, when the butter melted i place the tortilla bread in the pan about 1minute on each side(may take longer depending on the heat of the stove). Flipping the tortilla the moment hot air begins to blow up the tortilla. The moment i flipped the tortilla the second time, I would put about 2 tablespoon of my homemade sauce on the tortilla and soon sprinkle about 2-3 tablespoon of mixed cheese on top of the sauce. 

The moment that the cheese was on top on the sauce i would fold the tortilla and continue to grill the tortilla and both side until all the cheese has melted and that the tortilla and hold its contents in place. These will take about  

2-3minutes and then remove the tortilla from the pan and let it cool of a cutting board/plate for a few minutes more before cutting
it into smaller portions.

With any food there mush be a drink, normally hubby and me prefer to just drink any plain cold water with our meals. But after looking through the fridge and seeing that we had some watermelon fruit and looking through our pantry we also can can fruits. So , we decided to mixed those two up and see what we can come out with . 

1) 1 can of lycee. Any brand will do. But i prefer to use a
good one so it doesnt taste funky.. =). 

2) We had  about half watermelon left. So we use all of it..=)

Ok, this one is sooooo easy.... lolz... Place all of ur watermelon in a blender, pour about 1/4 of the syrup on the blender. You may adjust the amount of the syrup (more/less) according to your sweet level.=). For me i really like the lychee flavour, so i put half of the lychee thats inside of the can into the blender. And just flick the switch.. Easy as that.. And let the blender juizz it up for a few minutes and since i had about 4-5 tablespoon of vanilla ice cream left in the tub that i just blend it all in..=).. So its not really a smoothie.. lolz.. but close enough, more ice-cream would've been better...

This is how the Juice/Smoothie looked like after its all Juizz Up..!! =)

After the quesadilla has been made and the juice/smoothie is ready... what else is there to do u ask ..?? Well, to eat of course..!!! But with all the cheese and juices and sweetness, i had to balance it out with a side dish of salad... Plain butterhead salad all chopped up and then hubby and I , dug into our dinner. Check out how it all turned out . 

Our dinner..Tadaa.. Simple and awesome!! If i could say so myself..!!

Well, me and hubby love trying out new things to do ...So Follow my blog and see what i am up too...=)..Btw, this are sooo good that i have done it a few times since this.. And i realise, when i make my sauce i prefer to make it less saucy , in order to make a nicer, more crunchier Quesadilla..!!

Do leave me a comment  if u know any other easy way to make quesadilla..=)

Till next time... Toodles..~~!!

An Angry bird Birthday..!!

Recently, my hubby called me one evening and asked if i wanted to go to one of his Maxis friend's (Kak Aya) daughter birthday party. Since, my hubby have met quite a few of my friends, I was happy that he wanted to go and bring me along. Funny enough hubby wasn't sure how old the child was, so to play safe we end up buying some chocolates for the child. What child doesn't like chocolate..?? *grinning*

Taking a picture with the gift / Hubs and me with the Angry bird cake and 

The function was suppose to start at 8.30pm, but since hubs  finished work at 6pm and reached LRT Kelana Jaya at about 6.40pm, we decided to proceed straight away to the function. Another factor was because, we didn't know where the place was.. Hehehe, so after picking up Apiz from Maxis Sunway (where he parked his motorcycle , since he drove from KLCC after work) we proceed to look for the place. GPS and maps app from the Iphone was pretty useless, it kinda made us lost (for 30mins) after calling Kak Aya and getting the proper directions we finally arrived to her home. 

Rather than waiting in the car, we came down and Kak Aya and relatives were frantically getting things ready. So we asked.. Well "I" asked if she needed any help. hehehe.... But besides us getting there early, she had everything under control..=)

Hubby and Apiz posing for some pictures...=)

We thought we were gonna wait till everyone arrived before we dig into the delectable foods, but funny enough one of the BBQ guy actually came to me and passed me one juicy HUGE piece of Lamb chop... Ooooo, hahaha at that moment the family members were all getting some food before the big function started and we were invited to join as well.. and.. well.... we did... Yummy!!!! They had loads of boxes filed with marinated chicken, lamb, fish,beef and even some kerang (cockles) .

All these boxes were filled with marinated seafood and meat.. =)

These were some of the yummilicious food that was prepared for the guest, everything was catered but it was truly delicious and even if it looks like but it was more then enough and delicious..!!

Food that was served,

*Nasi Goreng Kampung

*Nasi Goreng Cina

*Laksa Asam

*Pulut Kuning

*Begedil

*Grilled seafood and meat,

*Air Bandung (This drink truly tasted funny..um...)

*Air Sirap Selasih

*Teh Tarik

             

Lolz, not long after that guests started arriving and pretty soon the whole tent and house was filled with kids running around and adults enjoying some adult time too...=). Its been years since i last went to a party that has all the party hats, face masks, the paper trumpets and mini party pop-er's.  When the guest had filled the tents, Kak Aya asked me to help arrange the cake... And i was excited as i will be arranging the cakes, since "The birthday girl" was 3 years old Kak Aya has three specially made for the b-day girl.

She has to be one of the youngest Angry Birds fan, so much so that the specially design cakes was all 3 types of the animated birds.. Blue, Red and Yellow bird. Looking at how excited the bday girl was i opened the blue birds box, tells me that she loved blue colour or just how angry the bird character was.. hehehe.Of course hubby and me has to quickly took the opportunity to take some pictures with the 3 Phenomenal Cakes .

Hubby and me with the 3 ANGRY BIRDS..=).. lolz..

All in all we stayed till about 1030pm, hehehe with a full tummy and happy with the delectable cakes . We said our goodbye, half way thru when we were there were also some of my husbands colleagues were there too, We mingle around for a bit and made our move.. Since hubby had an early day the next day, we made our way home and had a good night sleep..

I truly enjoyed meeting my hubby's friends,

And i hope to get to meet his other friends too..
Till next time ... Toodles ~!!
