Chicken House @ Ampang

 Eh.. I thought the title is Chicken House.. Why am I featuring pork knuckle here.. 

We were told this is one of the house specialty, and so we ordered one. It came with the lettuce and sauce for wrapping. This dish cost RM80. Kinda pricy for us.

The meat is cold. Cooked in spices and then leave it to marinate. I find the meat's texture a bit too powdery and dry. Taste wise it is actually good. We couldn't finish the big portion. When we pack it back home and dip the meat with Sabah hot chili sauce, it was great.

 Of course we can't miss ordering the chicken. It was actually quite pricy for a fried chicken dish. So it is more worth it to try those that comes with sauce, as that's more of their specialty. But since PL wanted the dry type, we gave in and ordered half spicy sauce and the other half plain. I think this cost around RM50 or so.

 To tell the truth, I wouldn't rave over this. But it is not a bad experience either. The service was ok. The lady owner was quite amicable.

I read in other blogs the hot pot is good too. I would probably come back again to try the others on the menu.

If you too want to try it too? The shop is located on the 2nd floor. Address as below:

Ampang Putra Residency, 5-L2, Jalan Ampang Putra, Taman Putra Sulaiman, 68000 Ampang, Kuala Lumpur

Hwang Hae @ Solaris Mont Kiara

There are many restaurants to choose from when you are in Solaris Mont Kiara.. particularly Korean dining. But we do not want to go with the usual bbq or dakgalbi.. And so we found this.. Ok.. it is still sort of like bbq but in sticks.. heh heh heh

Interesting menu view option on the wall

Every table is equipped with a long exhaust pipe to draw the smoke and heat away.. It also helps make the cokking more effective and faster as the heat is focussed on where the meat is..

We decided on teriyaki mutton. The meat came in simple skewers.. The teriyaki sauce came in a separate bowl and was added on the table.

It must be obvious that we are clueless as to what to do with the meat. The owner came and gave us a quick crash course. He is quite a funny guy..

We were also given a stick of fresh garlic to be grilled together. The owner was right when he say the meat needs to be turn frequently or it will burn easily (thanks to the effective exhaust system)

Our individual plates were given some salted spices with sesame seeds. For a person who is not that keen on mutton's smell, this came as a good accompaniment. 

We end our complete our dinner with a hot pot of kim chi jigae ramyeon. It helps to settle down the rumble in the tummy :) satisfied

I will go back again with my pa, as it offers some variation to the Korean food I know. The kids also would love to play with fire (under supervision, of course) :P
