Crazieapple is back!! Reviewing Surisit Thai Kopitiam

With all the mushroom-sprung chain thai restaurants, it is indeed almost impossible to find a good thai restaurants that made me go twice in a week!! I'm not even talking about My elephant (pfft..), Erawan (Jess's favourite but i don't understand why), Kuntai- (argh.. don't get me started!)..

Behold: Surisit Kopitiam!!!!!

Casual neighbourhood eatery.

We don't need no overwhelming thai-scented room when i'm eating okayyy!! (if you know which restaurant i'm talking about)

Over the past week, i've visited this place twice and attempted to order a variety of choices to try. (Jess claimed that Erawan was so good that she went back there after 1 week. But i went back to Surisit after merely 3 days!! hah! beat that!!) I would say hits > misses.. And i'm declaring this place my favourite Thai restaurant in town!! Extra points for the convenience- it's just located in TTDI.. (just behind Tom, Dick and Harry pub)

 Fried stuff tofu

Beef curry. Tasted great of strong curry fragrant.

 Tom Yung Seafood which is 4 thumbs up!! (including my toes)

They woed my Thai-heart (i'm a BIG fan of thai food) with the perfect balance of sourness and spiciness in this dish. Trust me on this. I'm the girl who cooked tomyum soup for supper every night while i was studying abroad and learned 10thousands combinations on how to perfect the balance of a good tomyum soup. haha

However, My advice is not to order the clear version of tomyum here. Rumour has it that it's disappointing.

 Beef noodle is really yummy too! The beef broth is splurp-ily delicious, i finished the entire bowl of soup!!

 Fried Vermicelli was a great hit too.

 Pineapple fried rice which was a major failure that disappointed my bf. Poor boy was expecting so much from them.. How could have they gone wrong with Pineapple fried rice?? Isn't it the no. 1 thai food?? =(

Fried Soft shell crab which i would say is another miss. No doubt crunchy but overpowered by its batter.

 Stir fried kailan with salted fish. We really needed some fiber.

 The legen-wait-for-it-dary Pad thai...

Oh. i'm so in love and converted. I've never really liked Pad thai but this has made me fell in love..

 Banana flower salad which i didn't try.

 A Very Happy Girl even tho was so worn out from work.

Good food does make me very happy! hehe

 Crispy fried pork

Ordered this one 2 occasions. Definitely Jess's favourite cause it consists of pork. haha

Tub Tim Grob, was just okay. Nothing fancy.

P/s: Do apologize for the really brief narration. I've been mia for so long.. Losing touch of how to do a review already! hehe

On a side note, Surisit is much more affordable- our bill- consisting 12 dishes came down to only 250 ringgit!! For Real?!!?!

Matsusaka Beef @ Kobe Gyu Taku Yakiniku

I've previously blogged about Kobe Gyu taku yakiniku here, you can read all about it.
I'll keep this post really short. Short even to my standard (and i'm quite a long-winded person) but just because i had a little bit to drink, and i feel like writing something. I decided to share again this wonderful piece of meat - at 12 am in the morning.

Matsusaka beef is getting more expensive. The last i remembered it was RM2400 per kilo, now it has increase to RM3000 per kilo, How much would you pay for your beef?

Started off with some KOBE Beef

Which i think we flipped it slightly too early, anxious much!

Fresh prawns from Argentina which came in huge pieces, the flesh is slightly on the softer side compare to our usuals but the flavours were wonderful

An array of Sushi Selection just to feed us some carbs. The sushi rice here was consensus to be really fresh, nicely seasoned and the rice won't be excessively sourish and sticky but a nice clean texture and taste.

To some this might not be anything new, raw beef sashimi. I came to enjoy it very much

Here comes the Matsusaka beef, every bit as delicious as it looks! It has only been one day but i'm already craving for more!!

Ms. Jazz Reviews: Restaurant Siu Siu, Robson Height for Seafood

Funny how i dont remember writing this at all, but yet it's sitting patiently at my backlog, fully written, waiting for me to post it up!! By the way, does anyone know how to set an index for blogspot? Care to teach? We're clueless.

For those whom crave for seafood in KL in a casual ambience, where do you usually go to? I have no idea, until I chance upon this restaurant- Restaurant Siu Siu.


Set in a non-pretensive ambience on the higher ground at Robson height, it was strangely cooling enough despite it being an open air restaurant with some metal roofing, it was actually a nice change from my usual haunts, and I was set to get my hands dirty that night.

It helps that the restaurant is relatively simple to locate, although you might get a bit confuse with the narrow roads and jungle-like surroundings but direct accessible off Federal highway. Restaurant Siu Siu is near kuen cheng school further up from tien hou temple. Plenty of carparking spaces opposite the restaurant with a minimal fee.

Our expectations heighten, and like an excited child we were, we looked forward to many items that were well written by the food bloggers. Claypot Crab Rice being one of them that was frequently mentioned. Sure enough, out came a piping hot claypot with one medium sized crab sitting handsomely on a bed of rice that was filled with dark soya sauce. Indeed the aroma of crab drift to my senses and can I say that its “crabilicious??” (is there such words? If not you hear it here first. =P). I enjoyed the fact that the rice texture is nicely separated and not at all lumpy. We slopped up all the rice before getting down and dirty with the crabs, fresh with decent amount of flesh.

As if one is not enough, two’s definitely not too crowded, salted egg yolk crab blew our minds away, we love the intensity of the gravy and how it blend so well with the sweet crab flesh. This calls for some finger licking practices.

Another thumbs up dish would be their claypot milky prawn. We wanted to order the Vietnamese prawn curry, but the lady boss seem adamant to put the order through, instead recommending the milky prawn because it goes better with the “claypot crab rice”. Now, this is some serious business going on- I mean food pairing at an informal Chinese restaurant? I’d have to applaud for her determination. There was a whimper or two on the recommendation of course since I had my eyes set on the latter dish, but I was quickly muffled by the subtle buttery flavours of the sauce that marriage so well with the prawns. Accompanies really well with rice too. Screw carb diet.

Restaurant siu siu also prides themselves on their fresh river fish and we are spoilt with 15 choices! Their supply was sourced from local rivers of perak and Pahang. We ordered a fish too, but I was embarrass to admit I forgot which type it was (I suspect river patin). But rest assured it tasted decent.

Seafood aside, we’ve also ordered the char siew, taste wise OK, it’s a pity that the meat is too lean to my liking, causing the meat to be less moist than it can be.

Last but not least, Guiness pork ribs and some greens.

All these food for four of us! *pats tummy*

All-in-all, a very nice place for seafood, and yes I would definitely visit again within short period.
