Sumptuous Western Food at Beacon Point

We have so many western food like chicken chops, fish and chips or grilled lamb easily available at most of the food courts in Malaysia that it seems having western food as part of our weekly meal has become almost a norm to everyone.

However, on Wednesday after moving in some stuff to my house in Ipoh Garden East, my sister recommend us to have lunch at the Beacon Point. Outside the shop, you will not realized that this humble shop will serve you western food that can match even the five star hotels.

It seems to me that Beacon Point started out as a bakery, and till now, it still serves some of the best cakes and breads. I can see a lot of delicious cakes from where I sit.....and although the shop looks a bit shabby, it still have one of the best environment that one can wish for during lunch hour.

Ok....now about the food. Each of us order set lunch of the day....with different main course. My mum and younger sister had chicken chop as the main course, while I had grilled lamb and my elder sister having pasta. Besides the main course, we are served with soup of the day with bread crumbs and the mango puding as the dessert.

The soup taste nice and with the crunchy bread crumbs, it taste extra-ordinary. The grilled lamb is well marinated, the same goes to the chicken chop. What I can say is that the food is good, couple with acceptable price tag. All the food cost us about RM63.90, and the best part of it is that the price is nett.

[Wine Recipe] - Roselle Wine Recipe 24_11_2012

I was thinking to do something different for this blog during the weekend, and something pops up in my mind which is to post the wine recipe. There are so many wine recipe around that it will be too difficult to keep track and at the same time, I would love to blog about it, so that I can use the wine recipe that can provide me with the taste of the wine that I wanted in the future. Well, I can just treat it like another type of log book for this "experiment". Anyway, to make wine for home usage, it is not that tedious, just that you will need to have the correct recipe with the correct material, then voila, you can start making your own wine. Of course, for high volume production, it will be another story as it will involves a lot of machines and stuff like that. Roselle wine

Roast Tarragon Chicken at Alexis in Great Eastern Mall

Having lunch break in Alexis must an expensive one because the food portion that was served by the bistro and wine bar is not huge but it is a little bit expensive; although it is about the same as what you might be getting at The Apartment .

Restoran New Twenty-Twenty [Jalan Pandan Indah]

It is not so easy to find good hawker food in Kuala Lumpur as compared to in Ipoh. Anyway, over the weekend, YenLeng and I went to this food court, known as "Restoran New Twenty-Twenty" in Jalan Pandan Indah and found it to be quite acceptable, especially since it's a rare chinese food that open for 24 hours. (FYI, there are quite a few of these food courts in the area so I'll probably frequent more of the others next time). Anyway, the first thing I noticed about the place was that it's not clean (quite similar to most of the chinese hawkers place) and the coffee ice here is horrible, just like most of the places in KL. I didn't even bother to take photo of the coffee and it's RM2.30 for a Ice Kopi, totally not worth it. Here's what I have though...."Ho Fun Ching Tong", or Kuey Teow soup with fish balls. I don't think it's the best that I had since there are better ones in Ipoh but it's really quite good in comparison...
