Restoran Boston Baru 伸波士顿餐室 @ Klang

Having been here before, I'm well aware of the wait time for the dishes to be served at Restoran Boston Baru. The wait time is known to be extremely long (for the not so patient ones), so I was wary at heading back but as they say, after some time people forget the pain and failure and in this case the wait time, and dove tummy first back to the restaurant.

Restoran Boston Baru at 6pm.

By the time we got there, most of the tables were occupied and it was only 6pm. We were lucky to have gotten the last few tables available.

Then, it was a game of hide and seek with the person in charge as it took a good 20 minutes for our orders to finally be taken. 

With high spirits and a semi-full stomach, we eagerly awaited our dinner. Dish after dish plated at the other tables as we watched in full hope of ours being next. An hour went by and still nothing. I wasn't hungry yet at this point. But with the two hour mark fast approaching my patience was wearing thin. Poor better half was once again at the wrong end of my wrath. Then as if the food gods were upon us, the first dish appeared! Woohoo!

Fried Kuey Teow.

The Fried Kuey Teow wasn't bad at all, but was it worth waiting almost two hours? I'm not so sure. I'd opt for the neighbourhood Robert Char Kuey Teow with a wait time of 10min anytime.

It was another 20min before the next dish was served.

Teochew Steamed Fish.

The Teochew Steamed Fish was superbly steamed with expert skills as the meat was well tender and juicy. Generously filled with plenty of ingredients to supplement, the soup was extremely delicious, making one down it as if dying from thirst.

It wasn't long until the final dish was served.

Nestum Mantis Prawn.

Fried to perfection, the mantis prawn seemed to be fresh off the waters, layered in a crisp batter and a ton of nestum, the Nestum Mantis Prawn has got to be my favourite.

At the end of the night, the better half asked if I'd ever return again. This is one difficult question to answer. I do enjoy the food very much but the wait time is bordering the lines of ridiculousness, to which he cheekily responded that perhaps it would be good training ground for my patience. Fine, challenge accepted!!! I shall return in future, but next time we will have to time our arrival to be at the front end of the batch.

If you're looking for above average seafood (read very good steamed fish and nestum mantis prawns) at reasonable prices, do head over to give it a try at least once. A word of advice though, do not go with an empty stomach, or bring some snacks as the wait has the potential to make one hangry. Heck, you could even bring board games or a movie to pass the time!

Cake Jalan Tiung @ Shah Alam

I'd read about Cake Jalan Tiung in an article listing the up and coming cake shops in town but never found the time to head over until the other day when finally a good friend of mine (who's a big fan) took me there.

My friend tells me that you've got to be early-ish to enjoy the cakes on offer, otherwise you'd be in for disappointment and a lack of sugary goodness.

The selection may not be as impressive as the likes of Sugar Rush but as they say - less is more. I've got to say, the quality of the cakes here is tip top.

With just the perfect level of sweetness, the Salted Caramel Cake was one of the best I've had. The chocolate cake was deliciously moist, and was perfectly paired with a drizzle of salted caramel.
The Chocolate Chip Cookies were nice but I still prefer Mrs. Fields or Famous Amos.

On a second trip there, there was a different selection of cakes available. The pink one is infused with rose it seems, and the icing definitely has a hint of sirap bandung. Cocoa Pops is yet another delicious chocolate cake with a creamy choc filled with choc pops in between the layers.

The treats here are most delectable yet doesn't crack the sugar-meter on the tastebuds. Definitely one sweet treat worth returning to!

Wondermama 玩得妈妈 @ 1 Utama

Wondermama recently opened at 1 Utama, along with a few other new restaurants popping up in the mall. Didn't even realise it already had an established branch in Bangsar.

Wondermama.

Wondermama serves up wholesome Malaysian fusion dishes, where one is surrounded by an ambience that is filled with memories of one's childhood from yesteryear.

Superwoman Laksa and Spaghetti Carbonara for the kids.

The Superwoman Laksa is basically wantan mee drenched in nyonya laksa soup, filled with squid, egg, and fu chuk. Uber delicious!!!

The Spaghetti Carbonara is popular with the kids. The bottle of Yakult is definitely a crowd aka kid pleaser.

Tom Yum Fried Rice.

The Tom Yum Fried Rice was another interesting dish with squid infused with the rice, and mussels, keropok and fried chicken on the side. Another delicious dish.

Red Bean Nangka Roll and Chekodok Pisang.

Of course, dessert is a must. The Red Bean Nangka Roll, as its name suggests, is exactly what it is. Never imagined this combination would work but to my pleasant surprise, it was quite appetising. Also, one can never go wrong with Chekodok Pisang. 

I'd definitely return to try the other dishes. One thing though, service wasn't very good even though they seemed plenty staffed.

Where:

S131 Second Floor,

Bandar Utama,

47800 Petaling Jaya,

Selangor.

When: 

Daily 10am - 10pm
