A fortnight ago, courtesy of a generous invitation from the peeps at Jaya One and Nuffnang,i was invited along for a Food Hopping/Food Review outing at Kinnaree Thai Restaurant,BBQ Chicken,Frontera Mexican Bar & Grill & The Bee with a bunch of Bloggers from Glitteratti+
Alright since we hopped to 4 different eateries on the very day,i'm breaking down this post into 2 parts.
First Up
Kinnaree Thai Restaurant
On our first stop, we visited the Kinnaree Thai Restaurant,
As the name goes,this restaurant serves a variety of Thai Cuisine food with a wide range of yummylicious appetizers - desserts that would certainly tickle your taste buds.
Kinnaree is set in a cosy and relaxed environment with wonderful blend of soothing music playing behind while you bite into their delicious offerings.Located at Palm Square,Jaya One and to this date they have won various awards:
--> Thailand's Tatler Best Restaurant Award
--> TimeOut KL Food Awards 2009 & 2010 for the best Thai/Indochinese Restaurant.Word!
Ze Restaurant!For starters,we had the famous Pomelo Salad
The salad itself has the ala thai taste and it is mixed with various different spices togive it a mouth watering taste.Despite the many different spices added the salad is not too spicy..Just the way i like it!
Papaya Salad!! i've not come across any dish like this before and trust me eating sliced papaya fried with flour which is oh so crisp and served with beans & nuts makes your taste bud rumble wild
The meat is served with a wonderful blend of ginger in soya sauce and one of the waitress mentioned that the meat is left overnight in a bowl with different seasoning mix..That explains the scrumptious taste.RecommendedArguably one of my favorite dishes of the day!!
The steam fished is steamed with many different spices and i reckon with a lil asam paste as well..It has the savory tom yam taste and it's served with thick paste Lime Sauce
Fresh seafood on hot plate!!served with Prawns,Sotong,Scallops and a few other secret ingredients :D
Since small i've always been a big fan of fish thanks to mum!!
so next is a wonderful dish called the Tamarind Fish
Had the very same dish back in Hatyai,Thailand a few years back but ironically it taste event better here..now nowThe Fish is deep fried until Golden Brown and served with a small portion of sweet and sour sauce..it is awesomely crispy and every bite you take just makes you crave for more..
Tom Yam Soup!!served with seafood inside this wonderful soup is rich in ingredients and flavour and is the perfect selection if your having flu..due to the strong taste of spices and curry feel,yourcertain to get cured more quicker!
Green Curry Chicken is prepared by roasting the chicken with the many different herbs and sauce and it is served with green peas santan curry gravy.The meat is tender and the portion is served with only Chicken breast meat..
Looks like normal vegetables right??trust me the sheer taste of the Morning Glory dish is like non you have tasted before..it's rich in vege and soup and it has that sweet and spicy taste..Must Try!!
Kinnaree Thai Restaurant(Jaya One) is an outlet that i'll certainly visit more frequently!!
The place is awesome for gatherings and bringing your family there will certainly make them come back for more..

Food Review:The Coffee Trap Story
A couple weeks back..courtesy of Coffee Trap Bistro & Party..i had the complements of attending a food review outing with them..Located in a small town called Permas Jaya of the straits of Tebrau.The Coffee Trap story first beginned 10 years ago..yes 10 years..known to most as Mouse Trap back then when it first opened in the suburb city of Johor Bahru...They slow grew and today,situated in Permas Jaya they are now known as Coffee Trap Bistro & Party..Their business picked up and then soon another outlet of theirs called Juicy Trap opened 2 shop lots away from the present one.
on the day of the review,services at most restaurants are pretty good compared to normal days..simply because everyone wants good publicty and a good write up on their place..I went on a Saturday (a day before the actual review)without informing anyone from Coffee Trap that i'm coming over..and too my surprised
the service on the day before the review was just as good as the day of the review.Now Back to business...
A day before the review i manage to catch up with Miss Juliana(Owner & Founder) of Coffee Trap and Juicy Trap via Facebook.
A short message she shared with me on the place:
It was never a reason how Coffee Trap was found..it was simple place that got out of hand..
Because it grew and grew..and we are all here still contributing to it..
Some survived,some gone,All of us are totally addicted to the place!!
All energy,tears,sadness,happiness,anger,insults,comments are imprinted on every single part of the place and most friends regard Coffee Trap as their everyday life meeting place.
Whether you had a child,whether you got married,whether you got a degree,leaving Malaysia for good and many more.Simple that every single person that we come in contact with played a part in ourlife in guiding us towards making it a better place..
My friends..My Family
On the day of the review i had the company of upcoming Audio Engineer and Singer Jay Menon..
arrived there a quarter before 9..caught up with Coffee Trap's manager Mr Kay for a short
Q & A session...
For starters we had a few cold ones while having a chat with Mr KayA lil bit more on Coffee Trap Bistro & Party:
The fine Restaurant & Bistro caters to all occasions,ranging from Birthday Parties to Anniversaries and even monthly Pool Competitions are held there.So those who loves playing pool and strut your skill among others ,this place is definitely for you.While you eat and catch up with friends and family,customers will be entertained by a versatile resident live band from the Philippines and Malaysia as they perform your favorite Electro hits such as Oldies from the 80's,Hip Hop and RnB,all from 8:30PM onwards.
Here comes the best part of the lot,we tried 2 of the best sellers
