Huck's Cafe @ Jalan Abdullah, Bangsar

Posted by Unknown Saturday, August 6, 2011 0 comments


Heard Sharmayne talked about wanting to go to Huck's Cafe for some time and so we decided to try out the place for ourselves! Made reservations on a Sunday night and off we go! Since it's our first time there, we had a pretty hard time finding the place because we were not really sure of the location. Little did we know, we actually found the place but we went in circles for about 30 mins as there is no signboard. It's actually located in the housing area. This is what happens when you don't know roads =.=

Went in and was greeted by the lovely and spacious atmosphere. We were seated on the floor.

Huck's Cafe serves about 20 pax per day. It's a private kitchen which is pleasant since its concept is home cooked food :)

Booking must be made at least one or two weeks in advance to be safe. The earlier the better :)  They don't take walk-ins. Menu must also be chosen beforehand as they shop for fresh ingredients everyday.

But Huck's didn't manage to get our chosen menu due to miscommunication. So instead he gave us a surprise!

Basil Seed Mint Soda
The first drink to be served after we arrived. It's pretty refreshing :)

Serewak Acar

Drinks and appetizer is served for the group. Whereas the rest it based on individual orders.

Pumpkin Soup
This is one of the yummiest pumpkin soup that I've tasted so far :)

Wild Mushroom Soup
I ordered the mushroom soup but I liked the pumpkin soup better. The wild mushroom soup was pretty disappointing though.

The meals take time to come so you must be prepared to be patient :)

Now, to the main course. Each dish was shared among 5 of us as it can get pretty filling/boring to eat just only one dish right?

Cottage Lamb Stew Pie
The tender and juicy lamb is cooked just right. According to Amelia, it can be pretty salty after awhile so it's good to share this dish :)

IMG_4414
Grilled Salmon Garlic Asparagus Lime Rice with Orange Butter Sauce
Lovely combination especially with the fresh salmon!

IMG_4416
Huck Lemon Roast Chicken
The chicken was slightly dry but the potatoes are lovely. haha.

IMG_4417
Wild Rocket Chili Chicken Spaghetti
We got amused by the name of the dish at first. The  leafy greens is actually a herb called Wild Rocket. Learnt something new :)
IMG_4419
Seafood Risotto Party Mix ft NZ Mussels
Fresh seafood but I didn't try much because I was already stuffed by the end of the meal.

IMG_4422
Forgotten what is this drink called but its pear and sour plum if I remember correctly.
Great drink to suppress the bloated feeling after the main course and also make space for dessert! :D

Time for dessert!
IMG_4427
Durian Mud Pie Ice Cream
Normally I do not fancy other dessert created from durian but this durian ice cream is exceptional. It is a definite MUST try!

IMG_4429
Chocolate Mud Pie Ice Cream
Did not try this but Charles said it's good as well.

IMG_4432
Creme Brulee
My favourite creme brulee, so so awesome and sinful!

After dessert, you can have tea or coffee.

Chatted with the owner Huck Seng for a while and he brought us to tour around the cafe. Fell in love with the outdoor garden setting!

Dinner is at RM88 per person. The main course was alright but maybe we had high expectations so we were a little let down. BUT the dessert was definitely worth it. My friends described it as gastronomic. LOL.

Another thing I enjoyed is the private atmosphere at Huck's Cafe where different dining rooms allocated for you to have a great time with your friends compared to the usual noisy restaurants. Can't wait to head back to Huck's Cafe soon :D

Huck's Cafe is located at:
22, Jalan Abdullah, Off Jalan Bangsar,
59000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Open: Tues - Sun (7pm - 11pm)

Menu can be viewed at their FB page to order. It can get confusing at first, but just take ur time to slowly go through the menu and erm...drool :P

FOOD AND BOOKS!

Posted by Unknown Thursday, July 28, 2011 0 comments
The first Toffie Food Festival and Conference will take place in the Cape Town City Hall from 3 to 4 September 2011. This is a 2-day food festival and conference including tastings, workshops, food exhibitions, cookbooks for sale, shops, food stalls and a craft beer market. I think this will be an excellent way to start Spring this year!



Talks include local and international food experts: Julie Powell (USA) from the movie Julie & Julia, rockstar chef and foodblogger Kobus van der Merwe (SA), Gourmand World Cookbook Award winner Renata Coetzee (SA), Anna Trapido (SA) presenting a tasting lunch on the story of food in the life of Nelson Mandela and Tung-Yuan Lin (Taiwan), multi-award winner of the Taiwan Barista Championship who is renowned for the delicacy and finesse of his coffee and coffee-inspired dishes.



The tickets are a bit expensive to my taste, but I know it will all be worth it! If you love food and cooking, don't miss out on this! Tickets are available on the toffie website.

Kalfiefeesvieringe!

Posted by Unknown Tuesday, July 26, 2011 0 comments
Ek weet ek het reeds oor hierdie wonderlike klein fesie geskryf, maar ek voel ek wil net weer 'n paar dinge hieroor noem.



Die Kalfiefees is die baba van die bekende, jaarlikse Walvisfees. Dit kan eintlik nie meer 'n baba genoem word nie, want dit is al 'n paar jaar lank 'n volwaardige fees op sy eie. Hierdie diamant van 'n kultuurfees word jaarliks op Onrusrivier (net buite Hermanus) gehou. Hierdie jaar word dit van die 4de tot die 7de Augustus gehou.



Daar is hope om te sien, eet en luister vir almal! Volgens my is hierdie jaar se hoogtepunte "Bye ma, Jaypee" met Chris van Niekerk en "Dinner for one" met die baie bekende Elize Cawood. Ook "My pa dink hy's Elvis" lyk na 'n heerlike stukkie teater.



Hierdie jaar sal daar twee kuier tente wees, dus sal daar altyd erens iets te siene wees. Daar is ook vele boekpraatjies en baie musikante wat hierdie jaar hul talente sal vertoon.



Indien jy niks het om te doen nie en nerens om te wees nie, maak gerus 'n draai in die pragtige Onrusrivier. Dit sal verseker die moeite werd wees!



Ek gaan defnitief my teater hoed opsit en 'n draai gaan maak - met my kamera! 



Hier is die program vir die naweek:







Kaartjies is beskikbaar by Computicket of as jy nog nie weet wat jy wil gaan kyk nie, kan jy wel ook by die fees kaartjies koop.



Geniet!

yum...

Posted by Unknown Thursday, July 21, 2011 0 comments
So, since it is almost the weekend...it is time for some real goodies. Here's a yummy recipe that I've known all my life. My mom use to make them, but now I don't really ever have time to make them myself. But they are really, REALLY good... Plus, if you make them with dark chocolate and honey, they can actually be healthy! Happy baking!







Mallow Treats: 



What you need:



1 pack of marshmallows

Melting chocolate

Caramel/Honey/Icing (for dip)

Sprinkles

Cherries/Smarties/Yellytots

Kebab sticks






What to do: 1. Place one or two marshmallows on each kebab stick.

2. Melt your chocolate in the microwave or on the stove.

3. Once melted, dip your marshmallows in the choclate.

4. Wait a few seconds until the chocolate is dry and hard. Now dip the top of your mallow treat in either Caramel, honey or icing.

5. Finally, garnish your mallow treat with sprinkles, cherries or sweeties.

6. ENJOY!!
