Cravings Kitchen & Bistro

We were at the Tesco Cheras last weekend and we had dinner at this restaurant called Cravings Kitchen & Bistro.  Their menu caught out attention as on Sundays, kids get to eat FREE :).  They called it Kiddie Sundays.

This promotion is valid for one kiddie meal per kid with the condition of one parent ordering a main course and a drink.  We ordered two main course (and two drinks) and get two free kiddie meal.  Among the menu for kids are French Fried Rice, Fish & Chips, Chicken Burger and Bolognaise Spaghetti.  Each kiddie meal comes with a bottle of vitagen and also a scoop of ice-cream.


I ordered the Fried Beef Rice and hubby ordered the fish head mee hoon.  Both dishes was nice and well prepared.  The beef fried rice was very fragrant.

For the kids, we ordered  spaghetti for lil princess and fish and chips for lil prince. They had smiley face potato chips that caught our lil prince attention. 







Spaghetti Bolognaise for lil princess.
We will definately visit this place again on Sundays as the price are quite reasonable.   We only had to pay for our meals and kids get to eat FREE :P.

Yummy food @ Melaka Trip - Part II

Continue from previous post.....

These are the yummy food we had on our second day in Melaka.
 
For lunch on the second day, we visited the same restaurant again for chicken ball rice.  We are really a great fan of the chicken ball rice.  After all, that’s our favourite food in Melaka.  After lunch, we went back to our hotel for a short nap before going out for tea again.

Nadeje Cake Shop
We went to Nadeje for tea as I loved to eat mille crepe.  We ordered a tiramisu and a banana chocolate mille crepe and a Melaka crush ice-blended (it has a great taste of gula Melaka!).  I absolutely adored this mille crepe.  It was made out of layers of crepe with creams in between.  Really nice textures just that the price was a bit on the high end :P.   Since we had collected 10 stamps on our ‘priviledge card’, we redeem our FOC mille crepe as I’m not sure when we will visit the shop again.  We ordered the rum and raisin crepe for takeaway.

Restoran Nyonya Amy
For dinner, we visited  Aunty Amy’s Heritage Nyonya Cuisine at Melaka Raya for their famous nyonya food.  We ordered the ayam ponteh, fried omelette with cincaluk, fried toufu and a piece of otak-otak.  It was a pity as we were not able to ordered the spicy food as we had two kids around, we had to take all non-spicy food.  Hubby said nyonya food without any spicy-ness doesn’t  taste like nyonya food at all ^__^ .  Nevertheless, I loved the ayam ponteh and the fried omelette with cincaluk.   We also got a chance to meet Aunty Amy too.  She is a very nice and friendly lady.  Next time when we return, we will definately try all the spicy food!!

Yummy food @ Melaka Trip - Part I

We had lots of good food during our short trip to Melaka.  Here are some of the highlights of our yummmmmy food :P

Day 1

      Chicken Rice Ball
Every time when we go to Melaka, we will not fail to visit this Chicken Rice Ball shop at Kedai Kopi Chung Wah.   This is a MUST have when you go to Melaka.   This is always our FIRST pit stop in Melaka.  We arrived early before 12pm to avoid the heavy crowd.  Ordered 25 chicken rice ball (it comes with five balls per plate) and a medium chicken serving.  We just loved the fragrance of the rice.  Even my lil princess with no teeth only eat the chicken rice balls alone.  She loved it! This shop is located at Jalan Hang Jebat.


Nyonya Dumpling and Cendol
After our lunch, we walk down the road to savor the best nyonya chang.  We went to the East and West Rendezvous shop which was also located along Lorong Hang Jebat.  We ordered two nyonya chang and cendols.  The nyonya ‘chang’ was priced at RM4.00 each and the cendol cost RM 2.50 per bowl.  I loved the taste of the nyonya  ‘chang’!!  This is something which we don’t find in KL.  The nyonya ‘chang’ was filled with diced pork, dried shrimps, mushroom and etc.  It was very fragrance.  Loved the blue-coloured rice (which is a type of flower, I’m not sure what flower it is ^__^).  The cendol was good as it has a very strong taste of gula Melaka.  Before we left Melaka, we even ‘tapau’ eight nyonya chang back to KL!  

 The aunty told me that we can keep it for two weeks in the fridge.  Besides the nyonya ‘chang’ we also bought back the pineapple tarts for lil prince teachers at school.


Fried Oyster
Our next stop was to try the fried oyster at the end of Lorong Hang Jebat.  This shop only opens from 4pm onwards (if I'm not mistaken).  We were the first customer on that day.  We ordered a medium portion.  I find that oyster a bit plain though, probably we forgot to add the pepper and sauce that was placed at our table.  Hubby told me that the fried oyster at Melaka Raya is better.  Nevertheless, it was worth trying.
 .          



Satay Celup
One thing that you will not miss when you go Melaka is to try the satay celup.  We decided to try the satay celup at Restaurant Capitol.  This shop only opens at 5.00pm onwards.  Mind you, before 5pm, you can see the queue of people.  Customers already started to queue at 4.30pm and we were one of them too..hehehe.  There were lots of varieties to choose (ie. fish balls, chicken, crab meat and a whole long list).  All ingredients were placed in a fridge rack, I guess it is to preserved the freshness of the food.  Each stick is priced at RM 0.80.  They also gave us a cup of water for us to wash away the sauce in case it is too spicy for the kids. 


"Burger Maut"
Before the day end, we tried the burget ‘maut’ at Semabok.  We read about it from internet that it was good.  The burger stall was opposite Semabok Inn.  We ordered the Burger Convert (it comes in a hotdog bun with two burger meat cut into small pieces).  Looked at the way he fried the burger in high flames!  This stall opens from 8.30pm onwards till 12 midnight.  Overall, the burger tasted really good!  I guess it must be due to the hot flames ^__^.  Loved the juicy burger meat…yummy!!
