Fried Prawn Noodles & Fried Oyster at Food Republic, Pavilion

As a continuation from yesterday's foodie adventures at Food Republic, Pavilion, the two superheroes flew over this time around to Thye Hong outlet for the best (Singapore) Fried Prawn Noodles and Fried Oyster in the whole wide world!




Thanks to Paris for reviewing about the awesome Singapore Prawn Noodles which is also available in Singapore's Food Republic, for it was the enticing foodie photos we'd seen there that started the entire foodie adventure. OMG... I can't stop drooling! Haha. :p

Okay, fresh from ordering Superhero S' super delicious Mushroom Duck Drum Stick Soup Noodles from Ah Yip Herbal Soup, Superhero W flew over to the other side of the food court to place our orders for the fantastic, amazing...one and only one....

Yummylicious Fried Prawn Noodles!



The noodles are pretty unique really. A combination of thin yellow noodles and this transparent noodles thingee which is superb. True to its price tag of erm...roughly RM7.90 (or was it RM6.90?!), it's worth every single saliva you drool over it!



Love that its presented in this dried leaf thing all wrapped up. And check out the accompanying sambal sauce. OH! Very "prawn" taste to it... Complements the Prawn Noodles very very well! There's even a few big prawns for you to savour. I only took a few mouthfuls of it though because I'd to refrain from getting too much fried stuff into my body. The sore throat's not letting me off so easily! :(

But that alone is no reason enough to turn away from THIS!!




Look at the size of the oysters! I've never come across "oh chien" that uses so big oysters! This is what I call quality. Super duper yummy... Not too starchy, but better eat it while it's spanking hot because it doesn't taste as nice anymore when it gets cold. The chilli goes really well with the omelette too!




It's no wonder this shop only sells 4 items - Fried Prawn Noodles, Fried Oyster Omelette, Fried Carrot Cake and Char Kuey Teow. Because the crowd's loving it! This is probably the only stall where you can actually see a queue for the foodie. Not bad... not bad at all! *grins*

We wanted to order MORE..! But... but.... *sigh*
Tummy's too full already! Cannot handle anymore...




But don't worry Pavilion, we'll be back real soon for more of the super yummy foodies here at Food Republic! Yeeeeeeeeeee haaa!

Ah Yip Herbal Soup at Food Republic, Pavilion

The two superheroes were in the mood for some soul searching - since food is our soul - yesterday when there decided to drive down to Pavilion KL for a monster lunch to feed our appetite. Been there only once previously, and Superhero S actually developed a phobia to shop or dine in Pavilion ever since this happened. *blushing*

Let's not talk about that anymore. Haha. I dare not even pass by the restaurant anymore till today. Too embarrassing. Okay, so since there were so much hoo-haa about the Food Republic food court in Pavilion, we decided to check it out!

Parking in Pavilion was a breeze as we found a beautiful car park almost immediately, and the car park rate was pretty reasonable if you're not planning to linger around for long. On weekdays, the first hour is RM3, while every following half an hour would cost you RM1. But if you're parking there from 5pm onwards, the maximum rate is only RM5. Nice...




Food Republic was also pretty easy to locate actually. From our car park, we came out right next to Madam Kwan's (OH..!) and the food court was all right in front of us. Now that we're here, let's hunt some food, baybeh! Haha. :p





Superhero S immediately spotted a stall with a rather familiar name - Ah Yip Herbal Soup? Oh.....! I thought I'd never see you again!! This used to be my favourite shop when I used to frequent The Mines in my uni days. I could never have enough of their soup and would drop by there like once in a week or something! Reminds me of soup from home... :p

I'm not sure whether the outlet in The Mines is still around today or not, but this one in Pavilion is sure selling pretty well. After making a big round of the entire food court (this place is HUGE!) and peeking into every single shop selling so many different delicious foodie, I knew what I wanted. Definitely something special from my Ah Yip Herbal Soup!

I ordered their Mushroom Duck Drum Stick Soup Noodles which was if I'm not mistaken, their best selling item and arguably the most expensive in their menu at RM13.90. Never mind, I believe there's a reason for the big price tag. Haha.

And my order arrived...




WAH............. Can you see the size of my bowl?! OMG...
And my entire bowl is flooded with herbs! So "pou" (nourishing!)
I like.....






The duck meat was absolutely tender and the meat just fell off from the bone so effortlessly. So yummy... and the soup! Ridiculously "kau" with so much flavour and taste from all the different herbs inside. And it was....in simple words, "delicious!" Now this is why I love this shop so much. Worth every single cent I paid for and I'm definitely going for it again.

More tantalizing foodie...coming up in our next post! Superhero W reveals his food selection for lunch! Haha. :p

Pavilion KL - "You are beautiful"!

I sure have to admit that we both were pretty impressed with Pavilion KL. Despite both our workplace being somewhat rather near to Pavilion, we can never seem to drag both our lazy selves there. Why of course the traffic jam in the area played a huge part in demotivating us to go there!

Okay, so we parked opposite Menara HLA, or you could say it's the parking lot beside Novotel. After 6pm, all you need to pay is RM3 per entry as opposed to the flat rate price at Pavilion. So NO, I'm NOT going to pay like RM7 just for parking. Hehe. :p

Just a few steps and we made it to the escalator outside Pavilion, bringing us straight to Level 3 to the open-air area where there's La Bodega and bla bla bla...This shopping mall is indeed very spacious, very elegant and very big. Haven't explored even 10% of Pavilion since we were actually there for TGI Friday's. But Pavilion feels like a crossover between the Curve and KLCC. Dunno why...

Chinese New Year decorations are beautiful, and there's even a nice lion dance / Chinese acrobats performance while we were there. Unbelievable. How come there's performance when it's like just 7pm on a Monday??!! This, I truly salute! :p

All in all, I guess we'll be coming back for more of Pavilion pretty soon. Haha. Since there's still like 90% of Pavilion left unexplored! :p

We finally made it to TGI Friday's @ Pavilion KL

Yes. FINALLY...

The two superheroes made it to TGI Friday's before the expiry date after all! Haha... :p

Because they knew that no matter how much they eat, they won't be able to finish off the RM100 voucher, they've decided to bring along their best buddy, Ting to help gobble down all the foodies! Hehe...

They eventually settled for TGI Friday's @ Pavilion KL for 2 good reasons:
1) The parking is damn cheap and we don't have to walk far
2) Surprisingly, we came back from Mars and have never been to Pavilion before!

Okay, for the parking...we didn't park in Pavilion but somewhere very near. Since we're just so damn familiar with the area, we settled for a cool strategic parking spot which cost us RM3 ONLY per entry (after 6pm). With that, we can save ourselves from paying RM7 flat rate after 7pm. Ngeh ngeh ngeh ngeh.... :p



This is the stairway that will take us to our TGI Friday's... Wahhhhhh...


Finally reached TGI on the 6th floor. Made reservations for 7pm. Yay!
As soon as Ting reached TGI, we went in and cashed in on our winnings... :p

Thank you, Nuffnang and TGI!

Drinks - 2 'teh o ais limau' ( ice lemon tea ) & 1 Sprite

We ordered two 3-course meals, so there's like 6 dishes for the 3 of us. For starters, there's of course the Mac & Cheese and Buffalo Wings. For the entree, we chose Chicky Parmesan Quesadillas and Pineapple Mojito Whitefish. For dessert, we took both the Friday's Sundae and Cookies 'N' Cream.

So are we satisfied with our meal? Hmm...Yes and no, actually.

Mac & Cheese

Chicky Parmesan Quesadillas

YES for the Mac & Cheese, Chicky Parmesan Quesadillas, Friday's Sundae, Cookies & Cream AND I can never leave out the ultra excellent service we received there. The staff there are like the smiliest bunch of ppl I've ever seen. Wonderful!

Buffalo Wings

Pineapple Mojito Whitefish

NO for the Buffalo Wings because it's too salty and the portion's too small, the Pineapple Mojito Whitefish because it tastes kinda weird (highly NOT recommended) and the ambience in TGI Friday's Pavilion. We felt that the ventilation's kinda bad in the outlet. Plus it's really warm and we can't actually feel the air-con. At one point, I nearly couldn't breathe...

Cookies 'N' Cream

Friday's Sundae

But thanks to the fun company we've got, Ting got us both laughing in stitches throughout the meal. Thanks man! :p

THANK YOU NUFFNANG once again!

P/S : This is NOT the end of our meal at TGI Friday's. Stay tuned to find out what happened next to Superhero S. Such drama!
