Lizzy's Chocolate Creations @ Carnegie, Melbourne

Melbourne 2010 Post #4: My chocolate dreamland...

(Note: No actual photos, but I have drawn some pictures to accompany this post - please try not to laugh too hard at them.... :P)

Knowing how much I like chocolate, Cindy very kindly made it a point to bring me to her favourite chocolatey place in Melbourne - Lizzy's Chocolate Creations, located in a suburb called Carnegie....
(It's quite near to the main Melbourne city area actually, just about 8 stops away from the Flinders Street Station, down the Pakenham or Cranbourne train line)
Train Map from the Metlink website...
Lizzy's is actually a chocolaterie where they hand make a variety of chocolate delights (including some really interesting flavours like Earl Grey, Lavender, etc)... but Cindy said that the thing that she loves there is the hot chocolate.
(So of course I had to try it)

They have 3 flavours for their Hot Chocolate:
- Milk Chocolate,
- Dark Chocolate and
- Orange Chocolate...

.... which are available in 2 sizes:
- Cup (AUD $3.50), and
- Mug (AUD $4).....

As it is just a little chocolaterie in the suburbs, (to be completely honest) I wasn't expecting much - I thought it probably wouldn't be as nice/ nicer than the famous places like Koko Black and Max Brenner's.....

However, I was won over the moment I took a sip from the cup of Hot Chocolate (Milk choc flavour) that I ordered that day:

Somehow they managed to get the balance JUST RIGHT:
- Smooth texture without any hint of grainy-ness,
- deliciously creamy but not too thick,
- rich, chocolatey taste but without being cloying, and
- served at a nice, warmer than warm, but not piping hot temperature...

Although it was just a TAD too sweet**, overall: YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM.....
(** Apparently this can be adjusted? Just ask for them to adjust it, when you order)

I also tried out some of the chocolates (love truffles!) but the one that stood out was the Orange Slice (priced per 100g - mine was about AUD $1.50?):

- "Artist's" depiction of the Orange Slice...
(BTW: The heart in background is a decoration ah! Does not come with product)
First of all it was so pretty - the glistening glacé fruit (glazed fruit) coated with a medium layer of (dark?) chocolate... and the taste?:
- Not too sweet despite the sugar glaze,
- moist texture with a bit of bite to it, and
- lovely tangy orange flavour, almost marmalade-like, matched perfectly with the creamy chocolate.

MMMMMMMmmmmmmm....
:) :) :)

If you couldn't tell already, I REALLY enjoyed my visit (and subsequent visits) to Lizzy's.....

THANKS FOR BRINGING ME THERE, CINDY! *HUGS*


So, it's: DELICIOUS place for hand made chocolates and hot chocolates, much cheaper than the other famous chocolate places, just a short walk from the Carnegie train station BUT nothing except it's not in the main city area (still, it's not far away) and the area is kinda small - just a bench to seat about 3 people inside and 2 tables outside (although I'd never seen it packed the few times I managed to go there)....


Hugs,
J

PS/
I've tried my best to jazz up this post with some pictures, very amateurishly drawn with Microsoft Paint... I lost all the photos in the SD card disaster but I just HAD to share this place with you.

Choong Kee Kampar Claypot Rice @ Damansara Jaya

Simple but yummy Claypot Chicken Rice in the Damansara area....

(Note: The following photos were taken with a camera phone, so they're a little fuzzy. Sorry.....)

Choong Kee is one of the quintessential Malaysian (food) success stories - starting from a coffeeshop stall in Damansara Jaya, they grew in popularity** till they were able to move into a shop lot of their own just a few doors away.
(** Unhindered by the general grumpiness/ Jekyll & Hyde syndrome that the boss lady seems to have an acute case of)
Outside Choong Kee ...
Of course, their new location is much nicer (and cleaner) than the original,... but it is still very basic, with no decor/ added bells & whistles to improve the "ambience".

As it remains wildly popular with people in the area, it is not unusual to find it completely packed (especially during peak hours), so be prepared to wait around for a table:
Inside the famous Choong Kee...
There really are only 2 food options here:
- Big claypot of claypot chicken rice, RM 13
- Small claypot of claypot chicken rice, RM 7
(The big claypot can feed 2 to 3 people, or 1... it all depends on your general gluttony level)

Oh, and the following additions are available:
- add egg +RM 0.5 per egg,
- add Salted fish +RM1 (Big)/ +RM0.5 (Small),
- add Chinese sausage +RM1 (Big)/ RM 0.5 (Small),
- add Chicken, Salted fish and Chinese sausage +RM7 (Big)/ +RM9 (small)

Once you do get a table, send a representative to line up at the main stall and tell the boss lady your order (Nicely! or she will scold you!***). Then, just patiently wait (about 20-ish minutes for them to prepare your food:
(*** This is one of her "quirks".... Don't say I didn't warn you. :P)
As you can see from the cutlery, they don't believe in wasting...
While I can't say I'm an expert on it, I have always enjoyed the consistency of the cooked juuuuust right rice (al dente - moist yet still with some bite) with that slight smokey flavor (apparently from the charcoal fire they use), mixed in with tender chunks of chicken and that sweet/salty black sauce:
The claypot arriveth! :D ...
(My plate of rice)
Yummy...
Also popular there, are the various Steamed Soups (RM 5/ bowl):
Our soups...
I believe they have up to 8 types (subject to availability) but my favourite is the Salted Veg/Tomato/Tofu with pork ribs soup, while my parents favor the Peppercorn with Pork Stomach soup which packs more of a punch.

(They also serve a couple of simple vegetables, usually lightly blanched then fried with garlic and oyster sauce, if you are looking for something healthy to accompany your meal)

There are quite a number of people who say that this is the best claypot chicken rice in PJ, but I guess it's subjective? - all I know is that I like it enough to go "fight" the crowds and risk getting shouted at by the boss lady.
(... but not too often, lest I gain too much weight)
:)

So, it's: Yummy (some say the best) claypot chicken rice in the PJ area, reasonable price and convenient location BUT limited menu, slightly cramped "ambience", and beware the wrath of the moody boss lady!.....

Happy Monday

Monday Blues Filler Post: Melbourne Post #3 -Shopping Wish List ....

Things I would have bought if I had (a lot) more cents and less sense:

1) Winged Adidas shoes:
Can fly wan ah? ...
I have no idea where I would be able to where this (other than Sungai Wang, KL or Harajuku, Japan) but it's so cute!
(Unfortunately they are also very expensive - around AUD $500 if I remember correctly)

2) Adidas skeletal track suit:
Creepy but cool...
This would be the perfect cool but comfortable outfit for a Halloween party! :)
(No idea what it costs but I'm sure it's super expensive)

3) Cute hat with eyes and ears:
Kawaii?...
Haha...
I'm still a kid at heart, I guess - I've always wanted something like this...
(Again, I have no idea when I would have the occasion to wear this without looking silly... lol)

4) Twilight and New Moon board games:
Emo sparkly vampires ...
This would be the perfect presents for some of my friends - I can already imagine their faces if I really gave it to them....
:) :) :)

Erm. Ok....

So this wasn't a proper post/ anything food related** but I hope you enjoyed sharing a moment of silly-ness with me.
:)


Hugs,
J

** PS/ I promise I'll update properly tomorrow. :)

A Breath Of Fresh Air

Melbourne Post #2: Wandering around the Royal Botanical Gardens (photo heavy post)....

(Note: This batch of photos are some of the few that miraculously survived the SD Card Disaster... yay!)

On my last day before flying off from Melbourne, I decided to have a simple, relaxing day... starting off with a nice lunch with Cheng (*waves*), and then a walk around the Melbourne Royal Botanical Garden.

- Beautiful lakes (with swans and other feathery creatures swimming around):

- Beautiful pathways:


Initially, I thought I would just wander for a while (maybe an hour) before heading to the city for some coffee and snacks but wow, somehow I managed to walk around for almost 3 hours.
:)

I couldn't help it, really - first of all the park is HUGE, and it was also wonderfully varied so I kept wanting to see more and more....

- Majestic trees:

- Interesting structures, like The Temple of the Winds:

- I thought this was part of the structure... till it flew away! (A kookaburra?):

Of course, there were a lot of gorgeous flowers, some that I recognize - Camelia:

- ... Beautiful daisy:

- ...Dandelion!: Make a wish and blow it away :)

- There were also a lot of flowers which were so lovely, but I have no idea what they are:


I wish it had been a bit sunnier that day, but other than that, I had a suprising amount of fun just walking around and enjoying the peaceful and relaxing natural surroundings.
:)


Dreaming of Melbourne,
J

PS/
Entrance to the gardens is free, and you can go there from 7.30am to sunset all year round.
(For more info on the Botanical Gardens, you can head over to their website)

Pie In The Sky @ SS2, PJ

Affordable pizzas and pies in SS2, PJ :)....

The lovely Sneexe had pointed out this new addition to the already bustling SS2 area... but I couldn't join her for dinner so had to check it out another night....

It's not hard to find, just upstairs of the also fairly new Geylang Lor 9 restaurant:
(I have attached a Google Map at the bottom of this post for your reference, just in case)
Look up! There's the Pie In The Sky....

Inside, the restaurant is comfortable but very simple - very down to earth and cosy:
Inside the restaurant....

Looking at the menu, the selection is limited to a few starters, some pies, some pizzas, a lot of different milkshakes and a few soup noodles.... Still, it's plenty to choose from, and everything is pretty decently priced...
:)

We started off with the Mushroom Soup (RM 5):
Soup in a cute bread bowl....
Ok lah.
I appreciated that the texture was creamy without being too thick/ starchy, but the taste didn't blow my mind - really didn't expect it to, I guess, considering the super decent price of RM 5.

I felt like pizza so I chose the Pizza Rustica (RM 10)
My pizza....
The thick pizza base was nicely crispy on the outside and not starchy - good!...

Also, there was a decent amount of cheese, tender chunks of chicken and some (most probably canned) mushrooms and pineapple which made for a very fulfilling meal.
:)

Here's a closer look at one slice:
Pre-Chomp....
It was actually quite daunting to try to finish this 8 inch pizza by myself (better to share)... Wouldn't mind ordering this again though! It's definitely not authentic by Italian pizza standards, but was tasty in a very nice, simple, home cooked way.

Unfortunately, the Chunky Beef Pie (Usual: RM 9. That night - promotional price: RM 4.50) didn't impress:
One of the pies....
Strange, right?
I mean, if your restaurant is named Pie in The Sky, then shouldn't your pies be super yummy?

The pastry was ok - fairly flakey and slightly crisp (but also just a tad starchy)... It was the filling that was the let down - not much meat in it and what was there was just a tad stringy:
Cross section of the pie....
Erm... and sorry loh, the milkshake I had - Chocolate Temptation (RM 7.80), also didn't impress:
My Chocolate Milkshake....
:(

I guess with a name like Chocolate Temptation, I expected it to be thick and chocolate-y... and it wasn't.
(Still, it's not BAD or anything like that,... just not KAO enough for me....)

At the end of the day:
Although I only really liked the pizza, I think I'll be going back soon for that and to test out the other pies....
(Especially the apple pie, which I heard is good - I'm curious, and at those prices, I can afford to be experimental!...)

Oh, sidetrack a bit - Look! Engrish!
*LOL*
Would you like some PAPER on that??....


Overall: Simple cafe in SS2, friendly service, decent selection of pizzas and pies at very decent prices BUT some hits and misses on the menu and parking can be a bit challenging sometimes....

The Lucky Coq @ Chapel Street, Melbourne

Melbourne 2010 Post #1: REALLY affordable food in Chapel Street...

(Note: These are some of the few photos that survived my recent SD Card Disaster - still looking for a hero, btw.... *muka kesian*)

Arriving in Melbourne, straight off an Air Asia flight, I was hungry and kinda tired... so Cindy thought of a great way to help lift my spirits - a good meal at the very cheekily named bar called the Lucky Coq, in the Chapel Street area.
:)
Outside the Lucky Coq...
The interior of the bar was cosy but looked just a little run down (in the harsh mid day light)....
The main upstairs area of the Lucky Coq...
Still, it was charming in its own quirky way with strange decorations like a pair of bright green legs hanging from the ceiling and a nice open air section upstairs (mainly for the smokers)......
(Apparently, its a popular hang out/ party place and gets very packed on most nights)
Nice open air section...
Martian legs, floating in from outer space?...
The main highlight at this pub/ bar? - their ongoing AUD$ 4 Pizza promotion, which is available during the following times*:

Sun - Thurs: 7 to 11pm
Weekdays: 12 to 4pm
Sat: 7 to 9pm

(* According to their official website)
(Note: We were there on Sunday at lunch time and got the pizzas for AUD$ 4 each anyway. Dunno why....)

The selection of pizzas is not great for meat lovers (mostly vegetarian options) but many of the topping combinations are pretty interesting (eg. the ORGANICO pizza with roasted pumpkin, soy cheese, pine nuts, rosemary).

Of course we went for the more meaty options:
- LAMB AGNELLO pizza
... spiced lamb with mozzarella and pine nuts, topped with rockets
The lamb pizza...
Not bad...
While there could have been larger chunks of lamb (for more bite), the minced clumps of meat were fairly tasty and juicy enough, contrasting well against the crispy thin pizza base*.
(* Not 100% authentic Italian thin crust but still good enough for 4 bucks!)

- CAESAR pizza
... bacon, anchovies, egg, baby cos, parmesan, caesar dressing
YUM...
OMG.
While it may be partly because I was pretty hungry coming off the plane, I found this pizza AWESOME.
(Thank goodness Cindy's friend Cheng convinced me to try this pizza)
- Oily but yummy slices of (pork) bacon, slightly crispy on the edges,
- Slathered with a healthy dose of creamy Ceasar salad dressing,
- With a runny, yolky poached egg,
- Accentuated by the briney flavour of the anchovies and the saltiness of the cheese,
- Atop a crispy thin crust pizza base.
- With some fresh crisp cos lettuce leaves on top so you can try to tell yourself that it's healthy.

WARNING:
1) They put the anchovies in a small pile at some random corner of the pizza. I guess this is so you can just remove it all if you don't like it, but it really does accentuate the yummy-ness so please spread it evenly across the whole pizza before biting in.
2) The best way to eat it, is to fold it in half and eat in like a sandwich so that you can fully enjoy it without the yolk dripping straight off the edges. :)
Fold in half and EAT...

To be completely fair, there was one pizza we tried that we all didn't like (one of the new additions/ specials)
- PRAWN pizza:
Hmmmmm. :(...
It looked good and the prawns were fresh, but unfortunately the pizza was pretty darned tasteless....
(Don't waste your time with this. Just order the Ceasar pizza! Anyway, 2 successes out of 3 pizzas is not bad, right?)

I also tried beer they brew in house, the Blonde Cock.
(LOL)
Yes. I tasted Blonde Cock (on the right) :P...
Overall, the taste was ok... light, refreshing and with a slight citrus-y aftertaste (although I think it's mostly because of the added lemon slice)

Ok.
So maybe it's not the best pizza in Melbourne... and maybe you won't get full on just one pizza (for guys/ people with bigger appetites)... but it's a really good eat considering the (promotional) price tag! :)

So, it's: Decent gourmet style pizzas (with a really good promotion), interesting selection of booze to wash it down with, quaint ambience BUT beware! some "misses" on the menu, parking in the area can be a challenge....

J <--- DISTRAUGHT

I need a hero....

I bought a new 8GB Panasonic SD memory card just before going on my holiday.

Over the course of 9 days, I took almost 900 photos - mostly of food, but some of which were happy, smiley photos with old friends*.
(* People from high school / university days which I had not seen in YEARS)

So, what's my problem?:
1) The SD Card corrupted.
2) I cannot find the receipt for the purchase of this SD Card.
3) Six hundred photos are missing.
4) SIX HUNDREDDDDDDD PHOTOS ARE MISSING**.

** Disaster. Tried using a data retrieval software that my friend sent to me.... Maybe I am not using it correctly?, but it looks like most of the data is completely corrupted - it's all gibberish.
Help, please. Thanks....
Does anyone know any IT gurus*** who can retrieve and fix corrupted data, like how they do in the movies?

Preference:
1) Free service because he/she is wonderful and kind (*hopeful*).
2) An affordable price tag.
(*** If you are such a person and would like to volunteer your services, even better)


I know I won't die without these photos....
... but well, it's a part of my memories/ life that I'd really really like to get back.
:(


Needs help,
J

PS/
- Thanks to Li Lian for pointing out the data retrival software - at least I was able to at least save the 300 photos from the corrupted card.
- Thanks to UnkaLeong for suggesting one option - if all else fails I will go there to get help, but looking at the gibberish left in the card, I suspect the affordable basic retrival will not be enough.

Poco Homemade @ Lorong Kurau, Bangsar, KL

Such a cute n yummy place.... :)

The Lorong Kurau area is nice, tucked away in a quiet Bangsar residential area. Parking is limited but there's good food there (Thai, Nyonya, etc)... making it worth the effort.

When I saw on LL's blog that there's a new addition to the selection (Japanese food at Poco Homemade), I just had to try it.
(Luckily, I soon got the chance, during the Luverly Lyrical One's birthday/ girls day out)

From the outside, it almost looks out of place, with its whimsical pastel blue and white colour scheme contrasting against the simple "kedai runcit" (sundry shop) next door:
Near the end of the block, next to the sundry shop....
Inside Poco, it was packed yet comfortable:
Lots of people....
It's the small touches that make this place so adorable - simple but well coordinated mish-mash of decorations which make this place feel like it jumped out of a Japanese shoujo/ Korean novel:
Wanna go for a ride?....
Since it was a fairly big group of us (gorgeous glammed up girls) that day, I think we tried almost everything on the menu.... :D
(So, I'll keep the descriptions short lest this post never ends)

Appetizers/ Side Dishes:
- Chicken Roll (RM 11.80+)
Simple but nice....
Was pleasantly surprised - wouldn't mind ordering again.
Crispy outside yet moist inside, and the filling was bouncey without tasting synthetic.

- Sushi roll with Japanese Style fried Chicken (RM 7.80+)
Carbs!....
This was also not bad, with the moist rice complementing the tender fried chicken.
(Preferred the Chicken Roll over this though, if I had to choose just one)

- Fried Ebi (RM 15.80+)
Deep fried Prawns....
Fresh prawns, lightly coated with bread crumbs and deep fried to perfection (crispy but without overcooking the prawns into a rubbery mess).

- Salad (RM 6.80+)
Fibre....
The greens were fresh (good) but I didn't fancy the sweet, almost honey-like dressing.

Mains:
- Unagi Don Set with Hijiki and Miso Soup (RM 24.80+)
(Hijiki can also be ordered as a side dish at RM 3.00+ per plate)
Eel....
The eel flesh was tender without being too soft and just sweet enough, coated with the fairly thick sauce.
(Nice!... and I really liked the savoury/salty seaweed, Hijiki, that was served on the side)

- Soba Cold Noodle with Fried Ebi (RM 15.80+)
Cool dish....
I haven't yet acquired a liking for this type of dish, but I can see how people would like this refreshingly cool noodle (slightly softer than al dente but nice).

- Curry Chicken Katsu Set with Miso Soup (RM 14.80+)
Crispy yet moist....
The chicken was tender, and the batter was perfectly crispy, complemented by the savoury Japanese style curry.
(They also have a Curry Fish Katsu if you prefer)

Desserts:
- Green Tea Red Bean Pudding (RM 4+)
Jiggly....
- Poco Homemade Tofu Cake (RM 7.80+)
Healthy....
While both desserts didn't knock my socks off, I appreciate that they are delicately flavoured and are generally, healthier options. :)

Overall, I loved how the everything tasted fresh (not pre-prepared/ thrown together from supermarket frozen food), and well, like they are lovingly home made. :)
(If there was only one down side though is that due to this, they can be a biiiiiit slow when serving your food)

BTW, there is also a selection of hand made products designed/ created by one of the owners:
Quirky and cute....
- Poco Bear thanks you for your visit:
ARIGATOoooooooo!....


Overall: Cute cafe/restaurant in the Jalan Kurau area (on the quieter side of bustling Bangsar), simple Japanese food at a reasonable prices, friendly service BUT service can be a bit slow....

PS/ I'm still sorting through my Melbourne photos - will post up something on that as soon as I can. :)
