WESTERN COMBOS @ LAS DELICIAS BRASSERIE

Citta Mall, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia - 25th December 2012

Huge Chunk of Roast Pork Knuckles.

Las Delicias is an odd place. Yes, it sells Western food, but of what type?
Italian? German? French?
Well frankly, it offers all of the above, and perhaps more.
But with so many national varieties, will it fare well?
Ok. Let's eat - then make judgment!

The main entrance of dark timber paneling shouts out German; but then it touts itself as a "Brasserie", French then?

But a side entrance with the words "Cigars" hints of a British pub.
Perhaps it's the owners intention to project this multi-nation image, after all there are serving a combo of Western fare.

Since were were a large group, we were ushered into a private room.
But it's no ordinary private room, it's furniture and décor has a certain English flavour; what with the chandeliers and ornate mirrors.
Grandness.... I am impressed.
But will the food be impressive?

We were sort of eating Chinese style, with all the food at the centre and us sharing it so that everyone gets to taste something of everything.
First came the mushroom soup with a variety of mushrooms nicely blended into a creamy puree.
The servings here are huge! Most time the quantity can feed two, so gauge your orders accordingly.

The seafood soup with clams, squids and fish served in a tomato puree was thick but  went down very well, with the hint of spices augmenting the taste of Neptune's wonders.
A large slice of garlic bread are served with each soup.

The Garden Salad was a huge offering of mixed greens, tomatos, slices of hard boiled eggs and bacon topped up a honey mustard dressing and a sprinkling of grated cheese.
Magnifico!

Spaghetti Carbonara with just a nips of bacon in creamy sauce.
Mamamia! Delizioso!

Chef Alfredo's Sausage combo was a delight, served with mashed potatoes, coleslaw and even sauerkraut.

It's a good combination of six selected assortment of fine sausages, all made by the Chef Alfredo himself.
Wunderbar!

The pork knuckles that came next was huge, that's a carving knife sticking into it.
The skin was crispy and super crunchy, while the meat was not that dry and with that hint of German foodie sourness.

Looks delicious... and juicy too. Yes?
Gutes Essen! (That's German for - Excellent food!)

What came next was a really succulent looking lasagna and of healthy proportions too.
Succulento! (Yes, it's back to Italian again)

The Braised Lamb Shank was one huge chunk too.
Served with mashed potatoes, carrots and some greens in brown sauce.

Real tender and with the jus oozing out....
Superb! (it's English now)
We are having a real Christmas feast here!

For drinks, a nice frothy watermelon juice, freshly blended. (Hey! That's Malaysian.)

and Mountain Fresh Apple & Guava Juice.
We had some beer too... heh! heh!

Eats over; we swapped Christmas presents.
Merry Christmas!!

Las Delicias, is a place of Combo Western fare, but in that hot-potch menu one will find excellent food, one that's well worth it's price in quality... AND quantity.
This is one place that should not be missed.

Las Delicias have an excellent selection of wine...

... and imported mineral water.

BALINESE FUSION @ SUBAK (HALAL)

Sungei Pencala, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

One evening, a few cycling buddies and me (see Sg Pencala Exploratory Ride) popped into Subak at Sungei Pencala.

Or rather we climbed up to Subak as it is nestled in a small hillock. And was I in for a treat for both my palate and eyes!

Terrace sitting overlooking nice greenery of the Sg. Pencala kampong.

This is a place that one wouldn't have expect to find in a Malay Kampong area like Sungei Pencala.
But it's there! A diamond in the wild.

Greenery is all around us, the place is built into nature - blending well into the hill with its Balinese style. I must come another day during the daytime, it should look so much better then.

Well, enough of the beautiful surrounding, time to EAT! We sat ourselves in these rustic surroundings and made our order.

Most of us ordered the Angel Hair Curry Spaghetti. It came with two halves of a tiger prawn, tau pok and bean sprouts.
The angel hair was soft, mid-way between mee and vermicelli. It's fine texture soaking in the prawn flavored so curry well that each mouthful was a good balance of curry and pasta.
They must have used prawn soup to cook the curry. It was sweet, prawn flavored just nicely thick with coconut milk without being overbearing. So good that I drank it all to the last drop... Finisto!

For starters, one of my buddies ordered the gado-gado. It came well presented, looking almost too nice to eat.
The portion was small, just adequate for one person, but it must have been good as my friend finished all of it.
I nipped a taste of the sauce for that's where the secret of gado-gado lies - a good sauce.
It was good with a hint of tamarind sourness, better than many other eateries that tend to forget the tamarind. Those end up tasting like satay sauce AND not gado-gado sauce!

Another buddy ordered the seafood spaghetti. He was not to happy with it, complaining that the pasta was to tough.

For drinks, I had a mixed berry smoothie. It was good but a little to sweet for me. But then I do not have a sweet-tooth, preferring drinks and desserts of fair sweetness.

My buddy sitting next to me, being a passionate fella, ordered the passion fruit smoothie. It must have made him passionate as he did talk a lot that evening!

Another buddy, being a simple person, just went for the fresh Thai coconut.

Overall it was a good meal in a nice ambience, so nice that we sat there for close to two hours soaking in the place while chatting. Subak really lived up to their catchphrase of "dine with nature".
