Palsaik Korean BBQ, Kepong Menjalara

       
Yesterday was one of the worst days in my life. Accidentally wet my phone and this had affected my mood for the entire morning. Thank god that the phone is still in perfect condition after that incident. Oh, I had to blog about this while the memory in my mind is still fresh. I have never fancied any food that is barbecued or smoked based as such foods are heaty and eating a lot of it is bad for one's health. Plus, I don't really like the smell of the barbecued food.

Surprisingly, my sister who doesn't really like eating pork and barbecued food suggested to my mum and I that we should try out the newly opened Palsaik bbq restaurant at Menjalara. Honestly, I was attracted by its modern-looking restaurant concepts. It was already 9 pm and we haven't had our dinner yet so we went there quickly after buying some stuff at the nearby tesco.

I've always heard about this restaurant from my friends as they said that their bbq meat is quite good, yup, the food there really didn't disappoint me. As a person who doesn't really like eating pork belly, I ate a lot of it yesterday night as it was surprisingly better than I imagined! Same goes for my sister. :)

I really like restaurants with classy, modern looking interiors and it is surrounded by glass walls.

Barbecue and cooking equipments.

The cute thing about this restaurant is that they hang the table number plates on the lamps with the shape of a pig.

Here it is, the 8 types of different flavoured pork belly! The types of flavours available are hot, miso paste, curry, herb, garlic, pine leaves, ginseng and wine. We ordered the second set on the menu (aka 8 colour set) which is priced at RM128 that serves 2-3 persons. My sis ordered a cheese fried rice at the price of RM18.

The set comes with a seafood soup too.

They also gave each of us a tiny bowl of salad with a few pieces of cucumber as appetizers.

Large plate of vegetables! Love the greens.

In the beginning, the staff will start cooking the non-meat items first such as mushrooms, garlic and the kimchi.

Then they will proceed with cooking the meat. The types of meat being cooked here includes ginseng, wine, pine leaves and garlic.

Cutlery is provided in the built-in drawer of the tables.

After we have finished most of the meat, the staff continued to cook the remaining ones for us.

The 4 remaining flavours which includes herbs, curry, miso and hot.

Ordered a glass of honey lemon drink, RM6. Nothing special to be boasted about.

This special vegetable leaf (Perilla leaf) has an interesting and distinctive taste. It has a minty taste. :D

After we have finished 3/4 of the soup, the staff uses the same pan to fry the cheese rice. The remaining soup is scooped into a bowl and served while the some of the remaining ingredients of the soup will be used to fry the rice. Okay, to me, that is weird.

End product.

Look at the cheese, woah...

Yums.



It was a great experience and totally worth the try.
I would definitely come back to this restaurant again soon.

Trip to Singapore : Day 6! (Clarke Quay, Ikea Alexandra & Orchard)

Dropping by today to continue writing about my previous trip to Singapore. :) I'll be writing about the 6th day of our trip where we visited the nearby Ikea which is at Alexandra during the day and then both Clarke Quay and Orchard at night. Oh, and another thing, I might be less active in social medias for a week or so as my recently bought phone has been sent for a diagnosis. My new phone's only around 2 months old and it already has problems with it. It was stuck in the 'headphones mode' for a couple of days. Really hoping that I could get it back as soon as possible to avoid having any inconvenience (you know, I'm struggling with my old phone as it is slow at loading and etc). I really did not expect that to happen. :(

Starting off this post with a picture, in the morning of the 6th day of our trip, my father and I went to the nearest morning market to buy some ingredients for our dinner at night. As usual, I woke up early in the morning to accompany my dad to the market. I was eager to find out how the markets in Singapore looked like in real life as I always get to see these places in their movies only.

Their markets are indoor based, just like how it was shown in the movies.

However, the floors are a bit wet and slippery.


Another surprising fact, some of their markets are joint together with the hawker centres.






Bought a cup of soya to drink. It was from a drink stall which has a chio name called "sipei cool" hahaha. It was really good except that it was sibehhhh sweet. It's only 1SGD per cup which was pretty reasonable.

In the afternoon, my dad, sis and I went to the nearby Ikea which is in Alexandra for our lunch and we also visited the other shopping malls that were nearby.

It looks just like any other ikea stores.




The ikea in Alexandra was pretty small compared to ours in damansara and cheras.


Things there were quite cheap for Singaporeans, in my opinion. A cup of coffee paired with a cinnamon bun were only priced at 1 SGD.


As for lunch, my sis and I got ourselves a food set which comprised of a hotdog, soft drink and ice cream cone.


Yay for ikea's ice cream!


Found such interesting things in cold storage. Are these even available in Malaysia?


They even sell really pretty cupcakes in their supermarkets omg omg omg!


We were in Anchorpoint shopping mall, Alexandra.


Self check-out counters in cold storage. How cool.


Then we went to this Queensway shopping centre for a walk. They have a lot of shoe shops there.


Okay, I don't know why but I find this funny.




I know this is lame but hey, a heart shaped potato! :p

At night, my family and I went to Clarke Quay and Orchard for a visit.

On a bus to Clarke Quay!

Passed by Chinatown.

Arrived at Clarke Quay Central shopping mall.

Beautiful dangling fairy lights.

Looking across and there it is, Clarke Quay!

Out of the mall.

I was deeply amazed by the view of the entire place! It was full of colourful lightings, bars and restaurants and loud music. It was lively.

This place is beautiful, don't you agree with me?

Spot the 'Read bridge'.

The bridge was really nice with its purple coloured lights.


It changes colour too!

There were some bars like this beside the river. Grab a drink, chat with friends or lovers beside the river while drinking, relaxing.

Do you really call carrots as 'ginseng' in chinese? LOL.

Guess where we're at now?

Yup it's from the swarovski christmas tree.

ION Orchard!

What I love about Orchard was that the street was full of shopping malls and of course, beautiful christmas decorations!

Taken inside the swarovski christmas tree.

TANGS plaza.

Inside ION Orchard.

Then, we walked around the place and explored a bit.

Street performances.

Selfie-d in one of the washrooms haha.

Sis went to get a mango smoothie from mcd.

We went back to cousin's place after that and the lovely neighbours gifted them some pretty and delicious twelve cupcakes! Why are the neighbours here so friendly?! :o

Here's a short video about our 6th day of the trip,

Alright, I need to take a break now.
My eyes are tired after facing the laptop for so many hours.
 See you soon! :)
