[FOOD REVIEW] Moonlight Cake House @ Taman Sutera Utama, JB - PART 1

With the introduction of the new menu of Moonlight Cake House, Ma Cherie bloggers and Tony Johor Kaki were invited to try them out a few weeks back.

Moonlight Cake House - Your favourite cake house in town

I am sure most of you have heard of Moonlight Cake House. Founded in 2007, its six branches in Johor Bahru has gained its popularity over the years and they have just opened their seventh branch in Permas Jaya recently. Good news is that it is coming to KL very soon!

Boon Lin, the manager of Moonlight Cake House gave us a warm welcome and explained the new menu to us. He told us that they are planning to bring in the brand new concept and menu to all of the outlets one by one in order to let the customers to experience a whole new level of dining at Moonlight. I guess it is the spirit of never stop improving that makes Moonlight a huge success today! :)

The six of us were really famished after hearing from Boon Lin. And they really served us food fast! Let's start with some appetizers. :D

Appetizer :- 

Cheesy Potato Wedges RM6.90

Ohhhh just look at the cheesy sauce. I KNOW RIGHT. I instantly forgot that cheese=fats and had one piece after another. Nice start! We finished them off in a blink of eye.

Scallop with Capelin Roe RM12.90

If you didn't know already, capelin roe is the orange thing that you see on top of the scallop. Seems familiar? We also eat them with sushi! I always love eating that with sushi, I never knew that they can be a good combination with the scallops too! The scallops were succulent, super fresh and sweet! Favourite dish of the night! :)

Main dishes of the day :- 

Bamboo Charcoal Crunchy Chicken Burger RM12.90

Burger is everyone's favourite nowdays. My Burger Lab, Fatboy's, Burger Builder or even Ramly burger (lol). So what's so special about Moonlight's burgers?

I would say it's the crunchy chicken in between the black charcoal buns. The mayonnaise sauce was specially made and amazingly it didn't make the bottom bun soggy. Plus point!

Aglio Oglio with Mushroom RM13.90

I am not a fans of Aglio Oglio so this dish turned out to be pretty ordinary to me. However, the chef was really generous in the amount of mushrooms in it! So if you are a fans of Aglio Oglio you might want to give it a try? ;)

Grilled Chicken Chop with American Cheezy Sauce RM19.90

If you love cheese, this is definitely another dish for you! The American Cheezy sauce on top of the chicken chop was so yum! (The sauce tasted the same as the Cheesy Potato Wedges) And it was served with mashed potato, coleslaw and some fresh vege at the side. Did you notice the small cup of rotini (a kind of pasta)? I have never tried pasta with chicken chop in a plate so this is kinda unique! You can eat them with the black pepper sauce.

Moonlight serves Local Asian cuisine too!

Honey BBQ Chicken Chop with Fried Rice RM11.90

The chicken looked like charsiew to me lol. And it really did taste like charsiew maybe because it looked red and tasted sweet too. The fried rice was what attracted me to this dish. Well, I love anything related to eggs. :D

Fried Slice Fish Bee Hoon Soup RM9.90

This was highly recommended by Boon Lin so we ordered one to try. From first look it doesn't look appealing to me.... *judging*

.....but not when I have tried the fish. The fish was so fresh and it wasn't overcooked at all. And you don't just get one or two slices in the soup, but many slices! The broth was not the normal clear colour but the milky one. 

It was a great night spent with everyone. A full stomach makes a happy heart! :D But what made me the happiest is that I get to learn from everyone there, be it phototaking skills or life experience shared during our chit-chatting session! :)

Okok I know. Don't be jealous of me. :p

He's the winner of Best Malaysia Food Blog 2013 and Best Singapore Food Blog 2013.

Tony, the Johor Kaki! 

The most well known food blogger and I am sure everyone read his blog for the best food in town.
He seldom shows his face on his blog but I don't care I am still putting up this picture hahaha.

I am so honored to do the food review with you this time, Tony! :)
*fan-girl-mode*

With Boon Lin, the manager of Moonlight.

Thank you so much for inviting us over for the night!

.........Wait it's not the end yet! I am yet to write about Moonlight's most famous cakes and dessert we had that day. How can I miss that out? So it's gonna be another post. Hehe. Stay tuned kay!

[FOOD REVIEW] Fatboy's Burger Bar @ Taman Sutera Utama, JB

To all the burgers lovers out there, you have to check this out! The famous FatBoy's Burger Bar is now in Johor Bahru!

Alex has always been my good buddy who knows best where to find good food. So that day he decided to bring me to the newly opened (early this year) FatBoy's Burger Bar located at Taman Sutera Utama near Sutera Mall. Originally from Singapore, FatBoy’s now has four outlets in Malaysia - two in KL, one in Subang Jaya and the fourth in JB. 

Image credits to FatBoy's Facebook page

It is easy to distinguish FatBoy’s by their bold red, black and white colours and the logo of the fat angry guy. But don't be mistaken kay! The waitresses there were really friendly. Their service was fast and they even asked for my feedback after my meal hehe.  

I heard that you can build your own burger anyhow and anyway you like it here! You can customise your burger by choosing from a list of buns, patties, cheeses, add-ons and sauces. However, I didn't try them because I was already attracted by the fancy names that describe their specialty burgers.

They actually serve Fat Basterd, Wimpy, The Elvis, Big Bello.......and so many more!

I ordered their weekday promotions which entitled me a FREE float or soft drink with any purchase of their burger of the day.

Holy Friday - Holy Caeser RM18.00

As you can see, it has grilled chicken and bacon on a bed of romaine lettuce in between the fluffy sesame bun. The Parmesan powder and homemade Caesar dressing just made my saliva drools again.

The reason I ordered this was because I don't fancy burger with beef or pork patties. Well the chicken patty didn't disappoint me either. It was juicy and tender, not like those processed meat which taste dry. The only downside was that the lettuce was too little for me as I personally love vege and I slowly get bored if the whole burger was too meaty. Honestly speaking I am not a burger lover but I know I loved this when I managed to finish the whole burger. It's one of the best burger I have tried so far! 

 Root Beer Float RM7.00 (FREE with weekday promotions)

The Root Beer Float was surprisingly huge! I was so full that I couldn't finish drinking it.

I enjoyed playing with the vanilla ice cream on top of the drink. And seeing the whole Root Beer turned white because of the vanilla. :D

So whatcha wating for? Come and fix your craving for delicious burgerrrrrrrr. *mouth-watering*

Nuffnang Food Festival at Sunway Pyramid

I swear it was just a casual Saturday afternoon. 

Weekends, to me, are rather boring as I seldom go out and whole day of studying at home really freaks me out. So as I was instagram-ing last Saturday, I came across Sean's picture saying that he is going to the #NNFoodFest held in Sunway Pyramid! My first reaction was ''Aww you are going! I want, too!'' And surprisingly, Sean gave me a call immediately and asked if I wanna join him. You can see that it was a really last-minute decision because I even went with shorts and flip flops. Haha oppps. :p

If you are wondering what is #NNFoodFest, it is the Malaysia's first ever tw(eat) fest held by Nuffnang. What you have to do is to have your smartphone with you, and tweet/instagram/facebook to eat! I must say that this is a really smart move of Nuffnang. Nuffnang gets to reward us for being faithful Nuffnangers all these while, and the vendors get to promote their food plus getting additional likes on Facebook! It is a win-win situation! Smart eh? See how strong the influence of media mass to the teenagers nowadays.
*Nuffnang is the world's leading Blog Advertising Community.

Here is a list of all the vendors taking part in this event. Spot your favourite? *wink*

Sean and I reached Sunway Pyramid at around 4.30pm and we can already feel the heat when we haven't even join into the crowd!

Look at the amount of crowd on that day!

Smartphones, smartphones everywhere

After registration, Sean and I quickly joined in the crowd and started our food journey. We started by approaching the nearest stall to us - Crush Food. I don't own a twitter account so I got my free blended fruit juice by liking and sharing their Facebook page. Whereas Sean tweet and hashtag #crushfood. As simple as that!

Jackfruit twist and banana pineapple from Crush Food. Such a refreshing start!

Absolute Thai kebab

The big Maggi Kari mascot and the happy little girl posing with her balloon.
:p

                                           

Pork soup from Restoran Sek Me Choy

Introducing the creative Nasi Lemak Popiah! From Zuo, Publika.
They wrap the rice, sambal, eggs, cucumber in the popiah, creating Malaysia very own popiah.
*Proud Malaysian*

Pan mee from Paradise Group Malaysia.
They were so generous to give us such a big portion!
Plus point is the soup base was simply delicious!
Probably the best pan mee soup base I have ever tried. (Y)

Mashed potato and chicken chop from Niko Niko Onigiri.
It looks simple but the Japanese-style mashed potato was so yummy!

Pork burger *Non-halal*
It is bite-size and it looks so cute with the small flag on top of it. :)

                               

        

The lady at Ninja Joe's counter kindly explained to a Nuffnanger
how to tweet/instagram/facebook to get their food sample.

Best drink to relieve our thirst - dragon fruit ice blended from Vineg Plus.

                             

And also the already very famous Chatime! Students'all time favourite!
They have different rule from the other vendors as we have to take a photo
with their exclusive Chatime frame and instagram the photo.
So we did and we got one Chatime each! Yay.
*ignore my messy hair. Ahhhh.*

We were already very full by then, so we decided to reward our tummies with some desserts. Ohhh. The guilty me. All the girls diet plan epic failed on that day because of all these attractive foodssss. :( 

I would say that this is the BEST FOOD I have tried on that day.
Ice cream from Cielo Dolci.
I had the 70% Belgian Chocolate and Sean had the Tau Fu Fa.
Yes you didn't hear me wrong, Tau Fu Fah ice cream!
 I also spotted other special flavours such as Nasi Lemak (I wonder does it tastes spicy?),
coconut gula melaka, Kedondong, salted caramel, etc.
I am a Tau Fu Fah fans and I totally fell in love with their ice cream!
Their 70% Belgian Chocolate was equally nice as well. HEAVENLY NICE.
But too bad we can only try once. :(
I googled for their outlets but I can't really find them.
Anyone has any idea where can I find Cielo Dolci outlets in KL?

N brew Nitrogen ice cream.
Wondering how to make ice cream with liquid nitrogen?

*One minute science class now*

Liquid nitrogen, which has a boiling point of -196C, is used for instantly freezing food and drinks, or creating an impressive cloud of vapour or fog when exposed to air. 

If liquid nitrogen is added to liquid such as an ice cream mixture, it cools the liquid rapidly while it boils away and produce a cloud of vapour. The rapid freezing produces an ice cream with particularly small ice crystals which has a very smooth texture.

:D

This is the liquid nitrogen!
We were so impressed by the cloud of vapour produced that me and Sean quickly insta video it

Pretty puddings from Sweet Montage.

Crepe cake from Humble Beginnings.
The portion was a little bit small and I can't really remember how it tasted.
I probably still find the Nadeje crepe cake in Melaka the best. :D

Durian and original flavour puffs from Kee's Creampuffs.
This is definitely a YES for durian lover like me. Haha.

Our last stop was Crazy potato!
The queue was crazy as well that was why we leave it the last.
There were 3 different toppings and I chose the cheese one.
French fries French fries! *Omnomnom*

So happy that even there were lots of Nuffnangers on that day,
there were no pushing and cutting queue.
(Y) *Peace* (Y)

Because we love candid shots. Hee. 

I spotted the very famous My Burger Lab as well but we decided to give up on it because the queue was just. too. longgggg. The charm of the little black burger. There were just too many stalls and we didn't get to try all the stalls. What a pity. Partly because some of them were too kind and generous and they gave us a very big portion each. :O We felt so full that we decided to sit down and chill and listen to a talk on food bloggers' photography skills. Sean was so lucky that he was the first person to win a free book of food vouchers by giving an enthusiastic shout to the emcees! Woohoo! The food vouchers can probably last him for a year. :D

                                   

Sean interviewed by the two handsome emcees, Kevin and Matthew.

Another fun part of this event was that we get to bump into our friends! By scrolling through instagram, Sean realised that his high school besties - Ivan was also here at the NN Food Fest! Such a coincidence. :)

Sean and Ivan chit-chatting happily while enjoying the food.

Guess who I met? Tee Wilee - my high school senior!
It has been ages since I last saw her and she looks so gorgeous now. :)
Btw I look like a giant beside her LOL.

Special thanks to my company of the day - Sean!
Thank you for bringing me there :)
You can click here to visit his blog. Very worth-reading! :)

Because it was a last minute decision, I didn't insta their photo beforehand so I didn't get the limited edition badge and macaroons during registration. Aww. :( And also after the event I realised that they were giving out free power bank! Aikkss. Moral of the story - last minute won't do you any good. Lol.

This was actually my second time joining Nuffnang activity as I am still a newbies Nuffnanger. But I totally enjoyed myself on that day and I appreciate all the hard work put in by the Nuffnang committees to make this event a great success. Happy stomach, happy me. :D Thumbs up to Nuffnang! And thank you! *bows* Will definitely join awesome event like this again next time. :) How was your weekends readers? I hope you enjoyed yours too!

Love, Eunice.
