10122016 Friendsmily Steamboat House

It's been a long while since I went to a steamboat house, and was grateful to be invited by FoodInk to Friendsmily Steamboat House (FSH) to try out some of their menu!

First, a little background on the place. While it's recently opened (Nov '15), the main business is actually from Kingfisher Seafood Mart (KSM) who has been in the business of selling fresh and frozen seafood. You can actually buy the seafood from KSM and have FSH cook it for you. How cool is that?! However, there'll be surcharge if you require them to steam is a specific manner (you'll find out more when you're there!)


Not sure if there was a label error, but I kinda thought this was snails

This is one mean crab, I tried to get closer, and it reacted to me (like all the time!)
Thank goodness its pincers were tied up, else I'd be needing 911, lol


the prawns are super active!


Here's a short video of them.
Something's caught their attention?


Surcharge for steaming the seafood.
This is what I mentioned earlier.

Had a good tour around the KSM, and I must say the prices here are very good compared to the local supermarkets! I'm definitely interested in coming back to get some stuff, especially the scallops and seafood tofu! After the tour, went back to FSH to find that lots of food prepared!


CHECK IT OUT!! We've got all the good stuff yo!
Don't think I'll need to spell out the items on the table.
Take a look for yourself!

This here is the Wintermelon Pot.
Honestly while this looks absolutely stunning, I didn't think it's practical at all.
We had a tough time to cook the ingredients and to scoop them up.
But was it any good? It's darn AWESOME!
Love the taste!
If it wasn't any hassle, I'd reckon this is hands-down-you-must-try!

In case you're wondering what's on the other pot,
it's the 1/2 Plain Soup and 1/2 Sweet Corn Tomato Drumstick Pot
They're nice and tasty, but I'd still prefer the soup in the Wintermelon pot


Camera "eat" first.
Many of the FoodInkers were busy capturing the food


I figured I might as well so something too!


Seafood Pan Besar (Talapia)
This is one heck of a meal!
You get mussles, scallops, prawns, abalone slices, sotong, clams, and of course the talapia fish too!
You can check out the prices below and for more info.


They've even got some menu packages which includes Yong Tau Fu !
Sweet deals!

Capture of the menu listing for you! =)


Another shot of the Wintermelon Pot with lots of food in it!


Even caught a video for you!

If you're into fresh seafood, then there's a good recommendation for you! You can get some grocery shopping done, and optionally eat them immediately after purchase! Hahaha.

28082016 Kai's Plato Kota Kemuning - Grand Opening!

It's the grand opening of Kai's Plato new outlet in Kota Kemuning, and I'm so honored to be invited to it! All thanks to FoodInk, my plus one and I was part of a wonderful occasion!

My previous visit to Kai's Plato was at its original outlet at Kota Damansara, and it was a satisfying experience! So I was really looking forward to visiting the new Kota Kemuning's outlet, especially when they have new items to introduce the public!

We arrived earlier than scheduled and was given many clean, emptied shells for creating our own crafts and artworks *so exciting!* But then comes the problem:

WHAT SHOULD I DRAW?!


There were more on the walls! 

Pretty neat eh? 


So other decorations on the wall 

The menu at the time of writing 

Gary's and Vivy's art!
Say don't know how to draw, but will you look at that!

There were other cool drawings too!
POKEMON!

And I looked around, and gotten lots of inspiration by the talented and creative patrons before us! Oh, did I mentioned that they had already opened 1 month before this? The grand opening ceremony is just for formality =)

They serve wine too! Lots of variety =) 

I got to try a few of them!


A little close up on the some of the wines - white and red =)

And of course, grand opening ceremony has to be welcomed with the majestic lion dance!





After much wait, food is ready to be served! We feasted our eyes on the delicious looking food - freshly steamed and cooked!

(Clockwise from top-right) Sambal Cockles, Cajun Spiced Shrimp, Kai's Chilli Mussels, Sandy Crabby, Crispy Calamari

A special drink on the house for us. Didn't manage to catch the name of these drinks.
If you do find out, please let me know in the comments below. 

Kai's Jumbo Platter

Everyone was so excited as we unveil the layers of food! 

CHECK THEM OUT!!
Wooo weee~! 
If you've not tried them, go and do so!
Experience the majestic taste of awesome seafood! =D

Besides that we were also given other flavors to try too!
  1. Pineapple Sauce - by far the best one I've tried!
  2. Butter Lemon Chili Sauce - at the time of writing, it was alright; could be better
  3. Sambal Chili Sauce - if you're a fan of spicy food, this is for you!
  4. Cajun Sauce - same as above, it was too spicy for me to comment further.


Giant Crabby - One of the ornaments there

Jasmine with the other ladies =)
