I ran out of pict space!

It's been few years since this blog took its first breath. Wow.

I ran out of pict space on Tummies Growl, and at the same time I switched jobs.

I fell out of my foodieventure path. Time to walk back in... as the tummies are growling louder than ever!

Pork Burger@Kissaten, Jaya One, PJ

Many have probably raved or blogged about Kissaten's pork burger by now.. And finally I'm trying it.

I gotta say.. It was, a really good pork burger. Meat was juicy and tender, and the egg was nicely fried too, and a bit sweet also, as I noticed that it was a bit caramelized.

The rest of the ingredients: vegs, buns etc were typical accompaniments, nonetheless.. Yums!!!

Enough for a lady's tummy on a greedy day, but may not for a hungry man.

Cost RM 11-12, can't recall the exact digits.

Late lunch@Haute Food n Co, Plaza Damas

My gf, LY accompanied me to the Msian Art Expo, at Martrade, organized by my good friend, Polenn.

Ain't the paintings awesome? I feel like taking up art classes again. Just to paint, draw, colour, express and feel free.

After a stroll at the expo, we stopped by Haute Food for late lunch. Awesome!

The grilled chicken caesar salad (rm15.90) was served with a generous portion, enough for two moderate tummies to share. The chicken strips were freshly grilled and the veges also tasted fresh too. Thumbs up!

The carrot slice (rm12) was pretty delicious also. Had a little familiarity in looks and taste with fruitcakes, but less sweet and more nuts. It was so filling that it can be substituted as a main meal.

The desserts that Ive tried here so far had not disappoint me yet, but the only downside is that it is rather pricey, but value's worth.

I'm dreaming about the sticky date pudding again.. damn...

Tsukumen Ramen@Menya Musashi, One Utama Old Wing

My new colleagues brought me to this newly opened restaurant, Menya Mushasi, inside Isetan. So much has changed inside One Utama. I felt so disoriented. Shows how long I haven't gone into malls.

Back to the Jap food venture, apparently this shop serves awesome fairly authentic ramen.

Gigantic pictures of samurais are displayed on the walls and upon your entry, the chefs in the kitchen will shout out in Japanese, to add to the feel of samurai chefs in action.

When I peeked over, hoping to possibly catch some hot Jap chefs, only to be greeted by Nepalese and Phillipino workers. Aiks.

Ok, on a serious note. The ramen was delicious. I ordered the dry version, but after tasting my colleague's soup version, the soup one would have been a better choice.

Salty, flavourful and the although the pork slice initially seemed too fatty, but it was quite well cooked that you wouldn't taste the over powering porkiness and it was rather crunchy also, as if the pork slice was briefly dipped in frying oil.

The only downside is that a bowl cost between RM 25-30. Ouch! For a bowl of Jap noodles. Phew.

Worthy try, though I can't comment much as I have yet to taste the widely spoken about ramen shop in Pavillion.

Definitely worth trying again.. Once i've extra savings :/ Damn Ringgits!

The BEST BEEF RIBS ever!@Hurricane's Grill Steakhouse, Sydney

It was our final day in Sdyney. Gloomy feeling indeed. Even the weather mourned with us. The day was cloudy, drizzling, cold. The fun trip would be ending in a couple of hours. We went to the Darling Harbour and took a stroll across the bridge. Just enjoying the view and breeze and reminiscing the awesome things we did in the past couple of days.

We weren't hungry either but Mr Travis insisted that we must have this meal, as he saved the best meal choice for as our last. We came to Hurricane's Grill. I was surprised to see the restaurant still packed at 3 pm.

The pork sausages were... super delicious! Porky pungent power packed smell. Served with spicy chilli sauce and mashed potatoes. The tasty sausages really opened up our gloomy taste buds.



Mr Travis ordered the 2 sets of beef ribs and steak dish and 1 more set of beef ribs alone. When they first arrived, I think my jaws spiritually dropped down and hit the ground. The portion was so big, enough to feed 10 persons! The size of one rib portion was easily 30 centimetres long and 20 centimetres wide.
We felt like modern barbarians celebrating over a great victory, with the immense amount of meat we had on the table.

The smell of the heavy chargrilled, wood, smokyness were absorbed into the ribs and steak, and you could taste all these flavours in every single bite!

My hands down, to the BEST RIBS EVER! I thought the best ribs was in Hard Rock, Barcelona. But THIS, made Hard Rock's version dropped 10 spots.


Sexy female barbarians. Just look at the size of the ribs. Madness! Madness from having a too delicious meal. Phew.

A great meal to end a great trip!
