Causeway Bay, San Terri & good company ~ 29 June 2013

What do you get when you have good food and fabulous company? a BLAST!!! That was exactly what happened on 29 June 2013. A group of foodie buddies of mine gathered at Desa Sri Hartamas to devour & gobble great tasting food and desserts. First stop>>>>>

Entrance signage - facing Souled out

Being the ever punctual self, I had to wait over half an hour before my foodie buddies started arriving from Puchong, Cheras & Seremban.  Reason for being late? Couldn't locate the restaurant. I don't blame them. I too had to ask for directions the very first time I was there. For Klang Valley folks, look for Souled Out Restaurant in your GPS. Causeway Bay is directly opposite the front entrance (note - not the side entrance,ya)

It's our bi-monthly 'makan-makan' session. Food was pre-ordered 3 days before hand. So, it was only to eat, eat and eat when everyone turns up.

Being a quiet Saturday, we were about the only patrons around apart from two other small groups of 2 and 4 people. Naturally, our loud bombastic laughter caused severe quakes in the restaurant. In any case, we ALWAYS create 'quakes' everywhere we go. Live life full, enjoy and celebrate life. When we have to laugh, we laugh whole heartedly, when we have to eat, we eat lavishly and leave the worrying of weight and cholesterol at the door. We picked them up when we have done justice to our food :)) 

Signature dish - Spicy Garlic Crab!! The "tons" of fried garlic is unique. It doesn't leave a bitter after taste nor does it make one burp nor does it emit a pungent smell thereafter. With many garlic lovers, the garlic was quickly snapped up. The garlic is crunchy, slightly salted & flavorful. The crab was meaty, spicy and finger licking good.

 We also ordered Yong Chow fried rice which was aromatic and tasty. Stir fried beef was really good. The beef literally melts in your mouth. Well marinated. 

The Patin steam fish was superb!!! Fresh fish, steamed to perfection with a tad of soy sauce and lightly oiled. At RM98, it was worth every morsel! Must order this, though pricey but it was REALLY good.
 

What is this strange looking orangey thing? Well, another good dish - deep fried squid in salted egg yolk. The egg yolk is crunchy, sweet & salty while the squid was light & crunchy. The last few times I was there, it tasted better but short of a couple of points, this was still delectable.

Pictured here, the 7 foodies. Me - obviously the shortest amongst the lot. 2 more joined us for tea time immediately after our lunch. We drove across to San Terri in Plaza Damas for dessert and coffee. Here's our list of cakes!! Apart from the dry and overnight green tea red bean cake, the rest were really good, particularly their classic cheese cake.

Good cakes, aromatic and body-fulled illy coffee mixed with foodie buddies with loud laughter ricocheting in Plaza Damas, Sri Hartamas. What an awesome way to spend Saturday.....Aaaaahhhh...life is good!

Here is a tip when you have balance $ from the cash-pot. Share to buy lottery! You guessed it! We WON......nothing! Zilch! Nought! All kaput! Incidentally, that was the receipt number of the bill from Causeway Bay. Bah! Gamblers! Uh-huh...we just did it for the fun of it, really.

Can you spot who were the additional 2 'gate-crashers'? Hey, no scrolling up to counter check, test your memory....come on, give it a try.

To my makan gang - I LOVE all of you. I relish the times we have spent together on several occasions and I look forward to more of these sessions. Priceless. I can see myself smiling and laughing thinking of all the jokes and funny anecdotes shared. I also missed the company of those that couldn't make it on that day. No worries, see you in Port Dickson for our next makan session. Muaks and hug-hug.

EAT, LOVE, LAUGH and LIVE LIFE.
