Mezzaluna Ravioli - Stuffed Pasta

My Sister in the USA sent me this packet of CoraBella Mezzaluna Ravioli last year.   My daughters like pasta with lots of cheese.  I thought they would love to try this pasta stuffed with mozzarella cheese as Labour's Day holiday breakfast.

I can smell the cheese upon opening the packet, 

served with mushroom sauce

After a few scoops, they started to take out the stuffed mozzarella cheese

and ate them just plain like this. It is hard to assume our kids' choice of food. 

Secret Recipe's Shepherd Pie

This Shepherd Pie may look different from the traditional one on its appearance.  We truly enjoyed it at Secret Recipe.  Will definitely come for more.  My girls love it at an instant when they tasted the mashed potatoes.

Poached Salmon

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014 !!

My first post of year 2014 is about food..because I enjoy having nice food..*.*

Poached Salmon is one of the main course in the Christmas menu at one of the resort here.  I took the opportunity to order from the resort chef after our year end stock counting activities yesterday.

Pork Burgers

Pork burger is quite a new thing here.  There are a number of stalls suddenly emerged in selling pork burgers in areas slightly outside Kota Kinabalu City.  Most of them are small operators started their businesses along the road sides within their kampungs.  Just like one of our nephews who has joined business venture with his friends selling pork burgers.  

With the agreements from our girls, we decided to have pork burgers as dinner one evening.  We tapau 4 sets of pork burger from our nephew's stall, our gestures of support in his business.  

The burgers look ordinary, the patty makes the difference. 

Feeling full after having the whole burger for myself

Food in the Philippines

Before heading to do some Christmas shopping, we had breakfast at the famous fast food chain, Jolibee.  The franchise was in Sabah at one time many years ago.  I wonder whether we could find any of its outlet in Malaysia now.  

 Beef served with rice.  The beef is very tasty well marinated.

   Our girls chose their favourite Hot Dogs with lots of cheese topping, served with rich soup.

 My breakfast, Lasagne with garlic bread.

One of the ice cream outlets serve their flavoured ice cream in little balls shape

 While the daddy doing his shopping at the men's section, our girls entertained themselves, sitting around or doing funny acts in  front of the mirrors.  They were tired after a couple of days of walking and shopping.  

 Choosing stars decorations for Christmas, we bought 3 of them in different colours.  

One of the nights, we had our dinner at Sugarhouse, a small cake house cum restaurant nearby our hotel serving Western and Philippino's cuisine.

 our girls had Fettuccine Carbonara.  A serving tossed in a rich cream sauce.  Topped generously with bacon bits and finished with a dash or two of Parmesan, PHP165.00 (RM12.40) per serving.  The taste is somewhat different from what they usually had. 

 Tuna Melt, a serving of tuna topped with melted mozzarella on a lightly toasted soft roll, served with side salad, PHP180.00 (RM13.50).  The lettuce is fresh, the burger is not bad too.

 Another cheesy pasta for our girls, Baked Macaroni.  It is served with a medley of meat, tomatoes, cream sauce and loads of cheese, PHP195.00 (RM14.65)

Beef Salpicado.  Tenderloin cubes in captivating salpicado sauce served with garlic rice, tomato salsa and a side salad, PHP350.00 (RM26.25).  The beef is very tasty.   

One the 5th day, we had our lunch at SM mall before heading to the airport.  As time is limited, we picked one of the small eatery to settle our lunch.   I think this is Daing.  Milk fish which has been dried, salted and marinated in vinegar with garlic and fried.  I was told that this dish is also made famous in Tawau too, a fast growing town at the east coast of Sabah.

 Tapsilog, dried beef served with rice

 Lots of brownies.  I am not a chocolate lover so these did not tempt me much.  But we brought back some as gifts.  

Though we had lunch before we boarded the aircraft,  the pre-ordered in flight meals had became our tea break.   

 Spaghetti Bolognese Combo

chicken pops, mashed potatoes and diced carrots

 Bukhara chicken Briyani combo, a bit too hot and spicy for me

Panini Chicken Combo

We are Home Sweet Home not long after we had our "Tea Break".

Travelling is tiring. After our Genting/KL trip in November and travelled to the Philippines in December, our girls asked us to give them a year break before we could go for another holiday...:D..After all school term will be starting soon..no time for holiday lo..

At the Kitchen Boulevard Restaurant

Since it is still lunch hour. It's a good time to blog something about food.

My colleague introduced to us, the Kitchen Boulevard Restaurant, with this leaflet. This restaurant is belongs to her friend, she has been there many times, she finds the food is good and the price is also reasonable.

Me, as a food lover, who really like to eat, went to have a try on one of the Friday. We were the first customers for that evening, it was raining and was only about 6pm. It is not a big restaurant, very cosy with wifi, there is an upper deck with sofa and dinner table for small private gathering purpose.

playing games on the computer mounted next to the dining table. Good to have it as business presentation to 3 -4 persons.

These were what we ordered from the menu, I did not take the photo of the brownie as I was busy eating when it is served.
