Now repeat after me>> K.F.C. = KyoChon Fried Chicken (a.k.a. Korean fried chicken), jot this down now as that’s what KFC stand for nowadays. XD

Thanks to NuffnangMY few of us from Tastebuddies@Nuffnang were invited to try out this Korea's No. 1 fried chicken brand couple of weeks ago. Check out the review below :)

Before we start, let’s give a big hand to ambassador of KyoChon Fried Chicken Restaurant, Super Junior! *clapclap* 

 

K-pop & SJ fans, you might wanna look for a dinning table cover with glass, pic below shall illustrate what I mean :P

a glance at the menu.

 Kyochon Signature Fried Chicken comes in 3 unique flavours, each has its own unique appeal & cooking method. According to Managing Director Terry their chicken actually delivered fresh on a daily basis (except Sunday) just to ensure the quality & texture of the Signature Fried Chicken. b^^d

The promises made by heart. ^^

Kyochon Signature Fried Chicken: Original Soy Series (Left), Honey Series (Top)
& Red Series. 

Personally I love the Honey series which marinated with KyoChon’s special seasoning up to 24 hours before fried to perfection with natural honey sauce, simply finger lickin’ good~ b^^d For those heavy taster, the Red series made from Korea’s HOTtest red chili peppers will not disappoint you.

Kyochon Signature Fried Chicken: Original Soy Series (RM 9.90)

Kyochon Signature Fried Chicken: Honey Series (RM 10.90)

Kyochon Signature Fried Chicken: Red Series (RM 9.90)

Doesn't fancy for wings & drummettes? No worries, there are lots of varieties awaiting :)

Sal Sal Strips, boneless chicken breast strips coated with special rice butter. (RM 10.90/5pcs; RM 21.80/10pcs; RM43.50/20pcs)

Sal Sal Strips, nice on its own or with dipping sauce.

Dakgalbi Grilled Chicken with rice (RM 23.90)

Dakgalbi Grilled Chicken 

Korean Butter Rice (bottom) & red hot Kimchi Rice (top)

Another thing I like about KyoChon is their perfectionism in serving only the best to their customers. Utilizing the freshest ingredients, healthiest chickens, canola oil & MSG free, a delightful & healthy meal is what to be expect here at KyoChon, from salad to beverages. ^^

Natural Sparkling Plum Fruit Tea & Yuza Fruit Tea (RM 5.90/glass). We tried both & came to a conclusion that guys would most likely go for Yuza & girls prefer otherwise, whats your say? :P  

Natural Sparkling Plum Fruit Tea & Yuza Fruit Tea (front)

 Blueberry/Mandarin Salad (RM 15.90/ serving)

Salad with Mandarin/Blueberry sauce

Had enough of the ordinary fried chicken, why not try out this No.1 fried chicken from Korea which now available @ 1 Utama , taste chicken like you've never had before~ ;)

KyoChon 1991 ~chicken that you've never had before~ crispy & delicious. b^^d

聚一堂香港点心火锅l G-Yitang Hong Kong Dim Sum & Steamboat @ Taipan USJ

年关将至，当马儿的嗒嗒蹄声已隐约可闻，当红彤彤的欢乐气氛开始在大街小巷里流窜，这一篇po文来得的可谓恰是时候。^^ 这一回为大家介绍的是新年团聚圆桌上的绝对主角，滾燙燙香喷喷的火锅是也。虽然不久前才写了篇火锅食评，但这一冒烟冒泡香气浓郁的锅子就是有种让人百吃不腻的魔力，而且新年嘛身为炎黄子孙的我体内可是流淌着龙的传人的血液，怎能不应景一下继续推荐这一美味呢 XD

言归正传，位于Subang Jaya Taipan USJ 10 的聚一堂以点心起家，近来更添精彩的推出了火锅，让原本拥有六十多样各色点心的菜单更添多元，Subang一带的吃货们又多了一个好去处啦。^^日前应Kelvin之邀到此尝鲜，感觉气氛食材皆很不错，那么话不多说，食材们请了~

menu，火锅菜单

聚一堂的用餐空间分为室内与室外两个部分，爱好冷气者与崇尚自然派可依个人喜好选择，感觉温馨又不拥挤 :)

室内冷气用餐区

聚一堂火锅提供四种特色汤底任君挑选：老火大骨汤底、香浓咖哩、东炎&芫茜皮蛋汤，可依个人喜好单点一种或来个鸳鸯锅也行。

我们点了招牌老火大骨汤底及较特别的香浓咖哩，一上桌便香气四溢 :)

新鲜的海鲜，个头诱人，份量恰当好处。

各式不同的肉片厚薄适中，烟熏、腌制及原味皆一应俱全。

培根

纽西兰羊肉片

雪花猪肉片

猪卷金针菇

秘制醉鸡腿

偏好多元口味的吃货们可千万别错过老板的特调酱料，每一种都暗藏玄机哦.. 因加入些许凤梨汁而略带甜味的红辣椒酱及香浓却不会太辣的叁吧虾米辣椒深得吾心 XD

色彩缤纷的沾酱，可别被外表给骗了，绿辣椒才是会让舌头失去知觉的魔王啊，不太能吃辣的吃货们必须留心 :P

个人非常喜爱的鲜虾水饺，和香浓的咖哩汤头绝对是绝配 b^^d

鲜虾水饺

自制的手打花枝、肉丸（右）对比市售鱼丸（左），可明显看见光泽上的差异，手打丸涮后Q弹的口感更是机械生产的市售鱼丸所无法比拟的 :) 

市售的鱼丸（左）对比自制的手打花枝、肉丸（右）

不想一样一样单点的吃货们也可简单的点个套餐再稍作搭配。除了一般火锅涮料之外menu上也提供一些现炸熟食，味道还蛮爽口的说 ^^

什锦套餐

自制酿腐皮

鸡翅

吃了那么多的涮料炸物，当然免不了来杯冷冻的自制罗汉果龙眼，为闹哄哄的围炉添一丝冰凉。

最后送上一张食材全家福，虽然当天我们人数不多，但边涮边吃的倒也成功让它们都在咱的肚子里团聚咯～ :P

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka @ Tokyo Street, Pavilion KL

Located at Tokyo Street of Pavilion KL (6th floor right section, on top of Harvey Norman), Hokkaido Ramen Santouka a.k.a. 山頭火 which started as a small ramen shop in Asahikawa, northernmost island of Hokkaido Japan back in 1988 has been named as one of the best ramen in KL since its opening years ago.   

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka @ Tokyo Street, Pavilion KL.

After an impressive encounter with MarutamaRamen @Fahrenheit 88 a couple of weeks ago, I’ve decided to give this restaurant which happen to be one of the renowned ramen chains worldwide a try.

The restaurant with a huge noren & Japanese design chandelier is pretty standout & easy to spot among all the other Japanese themed outlets.

a glance at the menu.

cozy interior, full house on Sunday lunch hour ^^

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka @ Pavilion KL

I went straight back to the basic- Char Siu Ramen with Tonkotsu soup. The medium sized noodle ramen comes with menma (bamboo shoot), kikurage (jelly ear), char siu and signature umezuke (pickled plum) toppings which is quite presentable.

Char Siu Shio (salt flavor) Ramen, regular portion, RM 30  

I enjoyed having the luscious Char Siu with heavy distinctive taste of pork. The soup which claim to be quite salty by some who've tried turn out to be just nice for me. The aromatic broth with good sense of sesame was good but not excellent as I was expecting the pork bones based soup to have a more robust flavours since it takes up to 20 hours of simmering time before ready for serving. The tender & soft noodles blend well with the soup which is just nice but it would be even better if it is more springy.. Forgive me if I’m too fussy, just trying to set up a reliable standard :P

Miso (soybean paste flavor) Ramen, small, RM 22.50

Kara- Miso (spicy soybean paste flavor) Ramen, regular, RM 27

Lastly before I forget, here's something most people doesn't know about Hokkaido Santouka Ramen.. The mild, pearl-colored Tonkotsu soup is a rather unique broth as it is never boiled throughout the preparation, this is a purposeful act to ensure its own exceptional taste and flavor, so your ramen will be at an optimum temperature for tasting once it is serves.. no waiting, simply dig in right away~ v^^v *Like*

Nuffnang Premiere Screening: Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

Being the 1^st movie of 2014 I did pray hard for Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit to be a nice one as I wouldn’t wanna start my 2014 premiere series with a sour note, and thanks to director Kenneth Branagh for not disappointing me :)  

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, in cinemas 16 Jan 2014

Blending together 75% of action violence flicks, 15% of sex & 10% of humour & miscellaneous (fancy car, hi-tech gears, luxury setting etc..) , you get a lovely cocktail of standard Hollywood action thriller movie, in this case – we have Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.. the recipe with slight modification here & there works like a charm almost every time & I bet it will continue to stay that way as it does cover all the audience's favourite elements. ^^  

The actions & humour :)

The charms: Keira Knightley ;)

Story line: ‘Based on the character created by bestselling author Tom Clancy, "Jack Ryan" is a global action thriller set in the present day. The story centred around Jack Ryan (Chris Pine [Star Trek]) who appears to be an ordinary New York executive to his friends and loved ones, but his enlistment into the CIA secretly goes back years. He was brought in as a brainy Ph.D. who crunches global data – but when Ryan ferrets out a meticulously planned scheme to collapse the U.S. economy and spark global chaos, he becomes the only man with the skills to stop it. Now, he’s gone fully operational, thrust into a world of mounting suspicion, deception and deadly force. Caught between his tight-lipped handler Harper (Kevin Costner), his in-the-dark fiancée Cathy (Keira Knightley) and a brilliant Russian oligarch, Jack must confront a new reality where no one can seem to be trusted, yet the fate of millions rests on his finding the truth. With the urgency of a lit fuse, he’s in a race to stay one step ahead of everyone around him.’

Come back to the review, despite a rather predictable plot development and a typical happy ending where hero save the day, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit still makes a nice bright spot in the early 2014. With its smooth story line, nicely arranged action scenes, staring by some of the talented actors Chris Pine & Keira Knightley, even though the brand new Hollywood action thriller doesn’t really standout due to the fact that there were so many impressive movies of similar genre (007, Mission Impossible etc..), nevertheless this is for sure a good company to be consider if you’re looking for an entertaining popcorn night out. :)  

Thanks to NuffnangMY for the invites :)

Rating: 7.2/10~ ^^
