			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Today, I have a guest post from Shaun:</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em><strong>About the Author</strong>: Shaun Connell is a writer who publishes many &#8220;how-to&#8221; guides on <a href="http://www.hippshelp.com/category/cooking/">cooking</a>, <a>easy desserts</a> and other topics.<br />
</em></p>
<p>For a wonderful surprise dessert after a great meal, try this <a href="http://www.hippshelp.com/how-to-make-cherry-cobbler/">cherry cobbler recipe</a> for a great old-fashioned fresh cherry cobbler. Cherry cobbler doesn’t have to wait for a special occasion it is good for any time. Cherry cobbler has been around for a long time and is always a welcome dessert. Cobblers were first made back in the 1850s and have remained a family favorite.</p>
<p>If you want to make a tasty piece of history for your family try this recipe. It makes the perfect ending to any meal.</p>
<h2>Fresh Cherry Cobbler Recipe</h2>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2274" title="cherrycobbler" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/cherrycobbler.jpg" alt="cherrycobbler Fresh Cherry Cobbler Recipe" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>Ingredients:</p>
<p>• 1 1/4 cups sugar<br />
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch<br />
• 4 cups pitted fresh tart cherries<br />
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract<br />
• 1 cup flour<br />
• 1 tablespoon sugar<br />
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder<br />
• 1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
• 3 tablespoons shortening<br />
• 1/2 cup milk</p>
<p>Preparation:</p>
<p>Preheat oven to 400°. Blend 1 1/4 cups sugar, cornstarch, cherries, and almond extract in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils.</p>
<p>Continue to boil and stir for 1 minute after the mixture comes to a boil. Pour fruit mixture into an ungreased 2-quart casserole. You want to use an ungreased pan because you don’t want the cherry cobbler to be greasy. Place in oven while preparing dough so that it continues to thicken and stays hot.</p>
<p>In a mixing bowl, measure flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt. Then add shortening and milk. You will want to cut shortening in several times to work the shortening into the dry mixture.</p>
<p>Then stir until dough forms a ball. Drop dough in about 6 spoonfuls onto hot fruit. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until topping is golden brown.</p>
<p>Serve warm with cream, if desired, or cool slightly and serve with vanilla ice cream.</p>
<p>Then set back and take in all the compliments on what a wonderful cherry cobbler you made. Everyone loves fresh, homemade food and this cobbler is going to be a big hit. Be warned though, everyone is going to want your recipe and don’t be surprised if you are asked to bake it for the next bake sale.</p>
<p>You can’t buy a delicious cobbler like this in the store. Not only is it fresh and taste wonderful, it is baked and served with love and you just can’t beat that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I used to make a lot of <a title="salsa" href="http://thefoodsite.net/2008/07/how-to-make-your-own-bottled-salsa/" target="_blank">salsa, then bottle them up</a> and keep in the freezer. I&#8217;d use them for my salads, sandwiches or even to eat with rice. It has been awhile since I made salsa. Since, I do not want to freeze them this time, I thought of changing the recipe a bit and made a sorta chicken and <a title="how to cook quinoa" href="http://thefoodsite.net/2009/02/cookingthe-super-healthy-food-quinoa/" target="_blank">quinoa </a>salsa stew. Originally, I wanted it to be vegetarian, to leave out the chicken but then, I changed my mind and added the chicken for the two meat-eaters at home.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2265" title="healthy, wholesome quinoa salsa" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/salsa5.jpg" alt="healthy, wholesome quinoa salsa" width="448" height="336" /></p>
<p>The great thing about cooking this salsa style dish is that it is very versatile and can be eaten as it is or with rice, salad, bread, even spaghetti! It is pretty simple to make too. First, you will need&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2261" title="salsa ingredients" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/salsa.jpg" alt="salsa ingredients" width="336" height="448" /></p>
<p>carrots, tomatoes, celery, onions, potatoes, bell pepper (capsicum), ketchup, balsamic vinegar, ready-made pasta sauce and</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2262" title="quinoa" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/salsa2.jpg" alt="quinoa" width="448" height="336" /></p>
<p>quinoa. I used red quinoa because it&#8217;s what I have. You can use pearl quinoa (the white quinoa) or black quinoa, whichever one you like. The cooking method for all types of quinoa is the same. After chopping up all the vegetables into chunks&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2263" title="simmer in the pot" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/salsa3.jpg" alt="simmer in the pot" width="448" height="336" /></p>
<p>You will need to heat up a pot with some olive oil. First, you sautè the onions for a short while and then you add the carrots, tomatoes, capsicum, tomatoes.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2264" title="add water and the rest of the other ingredients" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/salsa4.jpg" alt="add water and the rest of the other ingredients" width="336" height="448" /></p>
<p>After you stir it around for a minute or so, you add the potatoes, celery, sauces and water. Also add a sprinkle of dried mixed herbs for extra flavours. The quinoa is the last one to go in, after adding all the other stuffs. Then, you just leave it to simmer over low fire for close to two hours. If you don&#8217;t have the time, just dump all ingredients into the crock pot or slow cooker and leave it to simmer on low overnight. It will be ready the next day! And that&#8217;s it. Easy and so darn good, you may want to make it again and again!</p>
<p>So, here&#8217;s the recipe:</p>
<h2>Wholesome Healthy Quinoa Salsa Stew</h2>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2268" title="salsa on bread" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/salsa8.jpg" alt="salsa on bread" width="384" height="512" /></p>
<p><em>Ingredients</em></p>
<p>3 large carrots, cut into chunks</p>
<p>4 large tomatoes, diced</p>
<p>3 large onions, chopped</p>
<p>2 large potatoes, cut into chunks</p>
<p>3 stalks of celery, diced</p>
<p>1 &#8211; 2 capsicum (bell peppers), cut into chunks</p>
<p>1/2 cup red quinoa</p>
<p>5 tbsp pasta sauce</p>
<p>4 tbsp ketchup</p>
<p>1 tsp dried mixed herbs</p>
<p>1 &#8211; 2 cups of water (depending on how thick / watery you want it to be)</p>
<p>palm-sized chicken breast, skin removed and sliced thinly or minced. (if you want to add chicken or you can leave it out if you want a vegetarian one)</p>
<p><em>Instructions</em></p>
<p>1. Heat up a large pot with some olive oil.</p>
<p>2. Sautè the onions and then add the carrots, capsicum and tomatoes. Stir for a minute or so.</p>
<p>3. Add in the rest of the vegetables (potatoes and celery) and then stir in the sauces.</p>
<p>4. Add water and pour in the uncooked quinoa. Stir to mix the ingredients around.</p>
<p>5. Turn the heat up to medium and let it boil. Add the herbs, then add the minced chicken (or sliced chicken, whichever you like).</p>
<p>6. Turn down the heat to low and leave it to simmer for up to 2 hours. Remember to check on it and stir often to make sure it doesn&#8217;t burn.</p>
<p>7. If you are using the crock pot / slow cooker, then you can skip the sauteeing part. Instead, just dump everything in, add the sauces and water and leave it to cook on slow.</p>
<p>Special note: Water is important so you must not leave it out and it is important to add more as quinoa absorbs a lot of water and it needs a lot of water to cook. Here&#8217;s <a title="how to cook quinoa" href="http://thefoodsite.net/2009/02/cookingthe-super-healthy-food-quinoa/" target="_blank">how to cook quinoa</a>.</p>
<p>This quinoa recipe is great to go with any food. If you are cutting down on calories, you can eat this as it is with salad as I also like to call this recipe an all-in-one meal which contains vegetables, protein (quinoa is very high in protein) and healthy carbs (potatoes).</p>
<p>If you simply must have rice&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2269" title="quinoa salsa with rice" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/salsa9.jpg" alt="quinoa salsa with rice" width="448" height="336" /></p>
<p>or if you prefer bread&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2267" title="quinoa salsa on bread" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/salsa7.jpg" alt="quinoa salsa on bread" width="384" height="512" /></p>
<p>It is pack full of nutrients from all the vegetables and quinoa so it is not only low in fat (especially if you cook it without the chicken), it is very wholesome and best of all, so good you won&#8217;t even feel as if you are eating diet food!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who needs to go to Cameron Highlands for some English tea scones when you can make it at home? I am not really a scone fan but then, that&#8217;s because I&#8217;ve never had really good ones until I tried some really good ones in Cameron Highland&#8217;s Ye Olde Smokehouse Hotel. Those are really amazing.</p>
<p>So.</p>
<p>I decided to make it myself. I mean, if I can bake up cakes and cookies, what are scones, right? Right. So, I went searching around the net and found several recipes until I decided to take whatever I feel comfortable with and wing it from there. My main focus is on using the least ingredients and the simplest method. Well, I have to limit my baking time these days as I can&#8217;t stand for longer hours nowadays what with a big huge belly and aching back.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2138" title="Homemade English tea scones" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/scones7.jpg" alt="Homemade English tea scones" width="446" height="595" /></p>
<p>And do you know scones are made up of the simplest recipe ever? You only need flour, butter, milk and baking powder. That&#8217;s all!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2132" title="butter, flour, baking powder and milk" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/scones1.jpg" alt="butter, flour, baking powder and milk" width="448" height="598" /></p>
<p>You need to cube the butter and rub it into the flour until crumbly. Then add in the milk.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2133" title="Rub the butter into the flour until it looks like bread crumbs" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/scones2.jpg" alt="Rub the butter into the flour until it looks like bread crumbs" width="449" height="346" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2134" title="Add in the milk" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/scones3.jpg" alt="Add in the milk" width="444" height="592" /></p>
<p>Knead it into a smooth dough. Then pat into small round shapes (the size depending on you, I like bite-size scones so I made them really small) and place on baking tray. Sprinkle them with some flour and then bake them.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2135" title="form small round shapes and place on baking tray" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/scones4.jpg" alt="form small round shapes and place on baking tray" width="441" height="588" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2136" title="dust with some flour" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/scones5.jpg" alt="dust with some flour" width="442" height="590" /></p>
<p>Scones are best eaten with some nice jam and cream.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2137" title="Scones with jam and cream" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/scones6.jpg" alt="Scones with jam and cream" width="438" height="584" /></p>
<p>Oh and yeah, they are damn good hot from the oven!!</p>
<p>Here is the recipe:</p>
<h2>Easy English Tea Scones Recipe</h2>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2139" title="scones with jam and cream" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/scones8.jpg" alt="scones with jam and cream" width="448" height="598" /></p>
<p><em>Ingredients</em></p>
<p>1 1/2 cup plain flour</p>
<p>40g butter, cubed</p>
<p>1/2 cup milk</p>
<p>3 tsp baking powder</p>
<p><em>Instructions</em></p>
<p>1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.</p>
<p>2. Rub the cubed, softened butter into the flour until crumbly.</p>
<p>3. Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk.</p>
<p>4. Mix with a spatula until it forms a soft dough.</p>
<p>5. Take the dough and knead it on a floured surface but don&#8217;t over-knead it.</p>
<p>6. Shape it onto small rounds and place on baking tray. Sprinkle with flour.</p>
<p>7. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes.</p>
<p>These scones are best enjoyed hot from the oven with some fresh cream and jam.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the longest time, I&#8217;ve been hearing a lot of good things about Mizi Bistro at New World Park. In fact, I&#8217;ve  walked pass that little restaurant many times and wondered at the crowds there. And yes, there are so many great rave reviews on so many food blogs I know that the food must have been pretty impressive.</p>
<p>So, we gave in to our curiousity and plunge right in to give it a try. Since there are so many food reviews about this place, I think I will just post up the pictures of what we ate and give a brief review of it all. No point writing a 1000-word review when so many others have waxed lyrical about the food there. Okay, I admit, I was just being lazy but well&#8230;it&#8217;s not like I cooked these food. I tend to feel less passionate about outside food nowadays compared to my own *ahem* delicious cooking.</p>
<p><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mizi.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1912" title="Mizi Bistro at New World Park" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mizi.jpg" alt="mizi Trying out Mizi Bistro after all those good reviews" width="451" height="601" /></a></p>
<h2>A Review of Mizi Bistro, New World Park</h2>
<p><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mizi2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1913" title="bread and butter at mizi" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mizi2.jpg" alt="mizi2 Trying out Mizi Bistro after all those good reviews" width="447" height="596" /></a></p>
<p>Something to take the edge off your hunger as you wait for the food to be served&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mizi3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1914" title="Pumpkin soup" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mizi3.jpg" alt="mizi3 Trying out Mizi Bistro after all those good reviews" width="449" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>Over at Mizi&#8217;s, they have this wonderful selection of value-for-money set meals that comes with drinks, soup, main course and free-flow of ice cream for dessert. All for RM19.90 only. And when I say wonderful selection, I meant the whole menu. As in you can choose any main course in the menu. A word of caution though, some of the main course may mean you need to add RM6 to the original price.</p>
<p>The above is the soup of the day, pumpkin soup. I am not really a pumpkin person but surprisingly, I do like the soup. Not too cloying or sweet as I&#8217;d thought it would be.</p>
<p><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mizi4.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1915" title="Chicken baked with apples" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mizi4.jpg" alt="mizi4 Trying out Mizi Bistro after all those good reviews" width="462" height="347" /></a></p>
<p>This is what I ordered, roast chicken breast with apples. Yes, they did this quite perfectly too, balancing the sweet flavours of cooked apples with the savoury sauces.</p>
<p><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mizi5.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1916" title="Roast chicken in tomato-based sauce" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mizi5.jpg" alt="mizi5 Trying out Mizi Bistro after all those good reviews" width="463" height="348" /></a></p>
<p>I can&#8217;t remember what The Food Critic&#8217;s dish is called but it&#8217;s basically roast chicken in a tomato-based sauce that complements the chicken pretty well. Nothing really to shout about but it still do have loads of great flavors. Like roast chicken in tomato-based pasta sauce.</p>
<p><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mizi6.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1917" title="Ice cream" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mizi6.jpg" alt="mizi6 Trying out Mizi Bistro after all those good reviews" width="457" height="610" /></a></p>
<p>Finally, there&#8217;s the free-flow of ice cream. I LOVE ice cream especially on hot humid days so I helped myself to three scoops and topped it up with chocolate rice and chocolate sauce. I even went for a second helping&#8230;mmmm&#8230;..</p>
<p>Final note: Food is reasonably good and it is worth the price. They have a nice relaxed ambiance and yes, this is a great place for some casual lunch or dinner. And by the way, if you can&#8217;t have enough of their food, you can try the original restaurant, JL Gourmet Corner at Prangin Mall, which was opened years before they open Mizi as a sort of branch.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have always been inspired by Jessie&#8217;s (<a title="The hungry mouse" href="http://thehungrymouse.com" target="_blank">The Hungry Mouse</a>) ribs of the week, any ribs she made always seemed just SO good. Much as I love ribs, we seldom have those at home. Mainly because we aren&#8217;t really major pork eaters and we don&#8217;t eat beef. Still, sometimes, thanks to Jessie&#8217;s wonderful recipes, I&#8217;d get a craving for some delectable ribs to chew on.</p>
<p>One day, I had this crazy craving (and no, I am not pregnant) for ribs so on the way back, I bought about 1kg of pork ribs to prepare for dinner. This is despite the wonderful meal my Personal Chef has prepared for us. Now, we don&#8217;t usually have much time to prepare for dinner so I wanted it to be quick, simple and fuss free. Thus, the three-step ribs which turned out like this&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/blueberryribs5.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1567" title="Blueberry Ribs" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/blueberryribs5.jpg" alt="blueberryribs5 Three step blueberry pork ribs" width="447" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the recipe for:</p>
<h2>Three Step Blueberry Ribs</h2>
<p><em>Ingredients</em></p>
<p>1kg pork ribs</p>
<p>a dash of salt</p>
<p>2 tbsp chili powder</p>
<p>2 tbsp garlic powder</p>
<p>3 tbsp sugar-free natural blueberry jam</p>
<p><em>Instructions</em></p>
<div id="attachment_1566" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 464px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/blueberryribs.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1566" title="1. Rub the pork ribs with the salt, chili and garlic powder." src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/blueberryribs.jpg" alt="1. Rub the pork ribs with the salt, chili and garlic powder." width="454" height="342" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">1. Rub the pork ribs with the salt, chili and garlic powder.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1565" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 466px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/blueberryribs2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1565" title="2. Pour on the blueberry jam" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/blueberryribs2.jpg" alt="2. Pour on the blueberry jam" width="456" height="344" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">2. Pour on the blueberry jam and make sure the ribs are completely covered with the jam</p></div>
<p>3. Grill in the oven for between 20 minutes to 30 minutes until it turns dark brown with a crust.</p>
<div id="attachment_1564" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/blueberryribs3.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1564" title="The ribs should look like this when it's done" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/blueberryribs3.jpg" alt="The ribs should look like this when it's done" width="480" height="640" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The ribs should look like this when it&#39;s done.</p></div>
<p>The preparation only takes 5 minutes and after that, just let the oven do the magic while you do other things like preparing a bowl of salad to go with this or take a shower.</p>
<p><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/blueberryribs4.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1563" title="Simple three step ribs recipe that\'s good and easy!" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/blueberryribs4.jpg" alt="blueberryribs4 Three step blueberry pork ribs" width="466" height="622" /></a></p>
<p>Although it may sound weird to combine blueberry jam with pork ribs and chili, let me tell you it is just the perfect combination. The blueberry gave it a sweet fruity flavour while the chili adds some spice to it. So, a bite into the succulent flesh brings forth a burst of sweet fruity flavours interpersed with spiciness. Ahhh..it really do hit the spot (and add at least a few more inches to my hips but I don&#8217;t care!). Best of all, we all know that blueberries are one of the food in my <a title="fat burning food" href="http://thefoodsite.net/2009/01/fat-burning-food-part-one/" target="_blank">fat burning food </a>list so these ribs are not as sinful as it looks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve not been to Salsa Restaurant for lunch in quite a while and have forgotten why we used to love having lunch at this place. So, we went back recently. I&#8217;m happy to find that the restaurant has not changed much even after it has moved to the ground floor of Continental Hotel. I know they moved years ago but I did say I&#8217;ve not been to the restaurant in a while. <img src='http://thefoodsite.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/1.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' title="Lunch at Salsa Restaurant" /> </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the restaurant review:</p>
<div id="attachment_1429" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 385px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/salsaf7.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1429" title="Salsas Restaurant" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/salsaf7.jpg" alt="Salsas Restaurant" width="375" height="500" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Salsas Restaurant</p></div>

<div id="attachment_1431" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 459px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/salsaf4.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1431" title="Salsas Restaurant" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/salsaf4.jpg" alt="Salsas Restaurant" width="449" height="337" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"> </p></div>
<p>Now, on to the food&#8230; We ordered the set lunch (@RM15 per set) so here&#8217;s what the set has</p>
<div id="attachment_1433" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 474px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/salsaf3.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1433" title="We started with soup" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/salsaf3.jpg" alt="We started with soup" width="464" height="349" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">We started with soup, some bread and butter and salad</p></div>
<p><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/salsaf2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1432" title="buns" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/salsaf2.jpg" alt="salsaf2 Lunch at Salsa Restaurant" width="485" height="364" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/salsaf.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1434" title="Salad" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/salsaf.jpg" alt="salsaf Lunch at Salsa Restaurant" width="485" height="352" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s the usual mushroom soup but at least they didn&#8217;t fully use canned soup like some establishments like to do. As for the salad, I love it! Instead of any of the creamy salad dressing, it has the vinegar and olive oil dressing: refreshing and great as a starter.</p>
<p><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/salsaf14.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1435" title="Salad" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/salsaf14.jpg" alt="salsaf14 Lunch at Salsa Restaurant" width="478" height="359" /></a></p>

<p>The jumbo sausages are pretty basic and there is really nothing to shout about although it is pretty salty (probably due to their supply of sausages). In the end Mr Picky refused to eat it and I had to exchange with him. Anyway, he usually can&#8217;t finish whatever we ordered for him and we&#8217;d end up eating his leftovers (and I wonder why <em>I </em>kept growing..sideways). Now, for my grilled fish, it was lightly floured and pan fried and served with some salsa, mashed potatoes and a creamy tartare sauce with some fresh herbs. It is pretty good and not salty at all. I&#8217;ll have to say I love their salsa. Now we know why it&#8217;s called Salsas. The Food Critic&#8217;s roast chicken is pretty good too and it is served with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. It is covered in some slighty creamy sauce and fresh herbs.</p>
<p>Now, on to dessert:</p>
<div id="attachment_1441" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 374px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/salsaf18.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1441" title="Mini mouthfuls dessert" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/salsaf18.jpg" alt="Mini mouthfuls dessert" width="364" height="500" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mini mouthfuls dessert</p></div>
<p>I love their presentation. And yes, this comes with the set too. We get four tiny mouthfuls of different desserts. A spoonful of vanilla ice cream, a piece of carrot cake, a piece of chocolate sponge cake and a tiny glass of fruits in syrup. Yummy.</p>
<p>My verdict: The food is good, the price is reasonable, the ambiance is great and the choices are varied.What&#8217;s there not to like about Salsas?</p>
<p>Rating: 8/10</p>
<p>Price: $$$ (lunch sets @ RM15 each / dinner sets @ RM30 each)</p>

<p>Now, although the cafetaria has signs proclaiming &#8216;member only&#8217;, it is open to the public. So, you don&#8217;t have to be a senior citizen who&#8217;s a member of the association to eat there. I may not be young anymore but I sure as heck am not a senior citizen yet!</p>

<p>Now, let&#8217;s get on with their signature dishes&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_1257" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 475px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/seniors8.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1257" title="Mee Sua Tau" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/seniors8.jpg" alt="Mee Sua Tau" width="465" height="621" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mee Sua Tau</p></div>
<p>The only way to describe the Mee Sua Tau (RM10) is that it is almost like Shark Fin&#8217;s Soup except that it contains mostly chicken, mushrooms, crabmeat, egg and rice noodles. The soup base is starchy and quite thick. Here&#8217;s a closer look:</p>
<div id="attachment_1258" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 476px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/seniors9.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1258" title="Mee Sua Tau" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/seniors9.jpg" alt="Mee Sua Tau" width="466" height="349" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mee Sua Tau</p></div>
<p>For a medium bowl of this, the portion is pretty big and this being more than merely soup as it is generously full of rice noodles, it is very filling too. I only ate one tiny bowl of this as I am not really a big fan of mee sua tau. Nevertheless, I still like theirs. It is thick and yet not too sticky and yes, it is tasty because it has so many different ingredients.</p>
<div id="attachment_1259" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 483px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/seniors11.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1259" title="Fried rice" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/seniors11.jpg" alt="Fried rice" width="473" height="355" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Fried rice</p></div>
<p>Not all that remarkable since it is just plain <a title="fried rice" href="http://www.untwistedvortex.com/2008/09/10/filipino-cuisine-pork-fried-rice-twist/" target="_blank">fried rice</a> with the usual ingredients of shrimps, egg, chicken. Still, it is good enough for Mr Picky who ate almost half of the amount!</p>
<div id="attachment_1260" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 488px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/seniors12.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1260" title="Roti Babi and Spring Roll" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/seniors12.jpg" alt="Roti Babi and Spring Roll" width="478" height="319" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Roti Babi (right) and Spring Roll</p></div>
<p>It may look almost similar and it&#8217;s ingredients are a tad similar but it is actually different. Both contained chicken, carrots, crabmeat and some jicama (mangkuang).  The only difference is that one is a spring roll while the other one is bread with the ingredients sandwiched between two slices of bread and then the bread fried to a crispiness.</p>
<div id="attachment_1262" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 487px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/seniors15.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1262" title="Spring roll and roti babi" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/seniors15.jpg" alt="Spring roll and roti babi" width="477" height="358" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Spring roll and roti babi best eaten with some sauce and chillies</p></div>
<p>Their spring rolls are simply the best as the skin is very crispy and they don&#8217;t stinge on the ingredients too. The best part is the chili laced sauce with generous amount of Worchestershire Sauce.</p>
<div id="attachment_1263" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 492px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/seniors17.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1263" title="Quarter roast chicken" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/seniors17.jpg" alt="Quarter roast chicken" width="482" height="362" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Quarter roast chicken</p></div>
<p>I absolutely love their roast chicken although it is not really roasted! The chicken was deepfried before it was served. It is darn good, I tell you.</p>
<p>The prices here are pretty reasonable. Check out the menu:</p>
<div id="attachment_1264" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 478px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/seniors5.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1264" title="The menu" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/seniors5.jpg" alt="The menu" width="468" height="624" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The menu</p></div>
<p>So, my final verdict is that it is really worth the price to eat there. For one thing, the &#8216;chefs&#8217; are definitely really good. This place is like the senior citizen&#8217;s best kept secret!</p>
<p>Rating: 8/10</p>
<p>Price:$$</p>
<p>Here are the cafetaria opening hours:</p>
<div id="attachment_1265" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/seniors4.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1265" title="The cafetaria opening hours" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/seniors4.jpg" alt="The cafetaria opening hours" width="480" height="360" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"> </p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s just say I was extremely inspired by Jessie, <a title="The Hungry Mouse" href="http://thehungrymouse.com" target="_blank">The Hungry Mouse</a> and her many creative ribs recipe that I wanted to try out some of my own. Since I simply love chocolate in anything (cookies, cakes, snacks, sandwiches, even as it is), why not try it with ribs?</p>
<p>So, I took the plunge and tried it out and this is the result&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_1241" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 482px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/chocribs4.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1241" title="Grilled chocolate sesame pork ribs" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/chocribs4.jpg" alt="Grilled chocolate sesame pork ribs" width="472" height="355" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Grilled chocolate sesame pork ribs</p></div>
<p>It was juicy, rich with a tinge of sweetness and the sesame definitely gave it a special flavour. Something you&#8217;d like to get your hands dirty as you pick on the bones and nibble on the juicy bits. The best part is that it is very easy to prepare too!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the recipe for&#8230;</p>
<h3>Grilled Chocolate and Honeyed Sesame Pork Ribs</h3>
<p>Pork ribs, about 4 -5 ribs</p>
<p><em>Ingredients for sauce<br />
</em></p>
<p>3 tbsp dark soy sauce</p>
<p>1 tsp Worcestershire sauce</p>
<p>1 tbsp chocolate sauce</p>
<p>2 tbsp garlic powder</p>
<p>A dash of pepper</p>
<p>1 tsp black pepper</p>
<p>2 tbsp honey + 1 extra tbsp to drizzle over the ribs after grilling</p>
<p>3 tbsp sesame seeds</p>
<p>1 lemon</p>
<p><em>Instructions</em></p>
<div id="attachment_1243" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 482px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/chocribs1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1243" title="Place all the ingredients, except for the lemon and 1 tbsp honey, in a bowl" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/chocribs1.jpg" alt="Place all the ingredients, except for the lemon and 1 tbsp honey, in a bowl" width="472" height="355" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">1. Place all the sauce ingredients, except for the lemon and 1 tbsp honey, in a bowl and mix.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1242" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 481px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/chocribsa.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1242" title="Season the ribs with the mixed sauce" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/chocribsa.jpg" alt="Season the ribs with the mixed sauce" width="471" height="353" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">2. Season the ribs with the mixed sauce, make sure you coat the ribs evenly</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1245" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 486px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/chocribs.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1245" title="Place the ribs on foil-covered tray" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/chocribs.jpg" alt="Place the ribs on foil-covered tray" width="476" height="358" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">3. Place the ribs on foil-covered tray, you can let the ribs marinade for several hours in the fridge if you want</p></div>
<p>4. Before you grill the ribs, sprinkle it with sesame seeds (on both sides).</p>
<div id="attachment_1244" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 491px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/chocribs2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1244" title="Squeeze some lemon juice over the ribs" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/chocribs2.jpg" alt="Squeeze some lemon juice over the ribs" width="481" height="361" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">5. Then, squeeze some lemon juice all over the ribs</p></div>
<p><em>Note: The lemon juice is to give it a slight lemony tang, so don&#8217;t overdo it.</em></p>
<p>6. Pop the ribs into the oven and grill it for about 15 minutes. Then take it out and turn it over. Grill for another 15 minutes and it should be done. Again, this actually depends on the type of oven and wattage you have. I used a microwave oven (900w) with a grill function so maybe that&#8217;s why it cooked faster. If you have a lower wattage oven, extend the grilling time. Just remember to check on it to make sure it&#8217;s not burning to a crisp!</p>
<p>Once it is done&#8230;you will get this!</p>
<div id="attachment_1247" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 487px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/chocribs3.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1247" title="Fabulously juicy, tasty and nicely browned ribs" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/chocribs3.jpg" alt="Fabulously juicy, tasty and nicely browned ribs" width="477" height="358" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Fabulously juicy, tasty and nicely browned ribs</p></div>
<p>Now&#8217;s the time to drizzle it with the remaining honey and serve hot!</p>
<p>So, what do you think?</p>
<p>I have always loved barbequed pork ribs and any grilled pork ribs but it is never easy to find in restaurants here. Now that I know it is so easy to prepare, I shall not need to look for great restaurants with wonderful ribs EVER.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been meaning to learn to make our own hamburgers so that we do not need to eat those store-bought frozen hamburgers which are oily and full of MSG. Considering hamburgers merely consist of ground meat, how hard can it be right?</p>
<p>Besides, The Food Critic is really crazy about hamburgers. Every time we go to the grocery store, he simply must stop at the frozen food and pick out a packet of hamburgers. A few times when we do eat out, he&#8217;d insist on choosing an American restaurant like TGIF serving good burgers (nope, it is definitely not the same as those fast-food burgers!). So, in response to his special request for homemade hamburgers, I gave it a try.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t really go around searching for a hamburger recipe. In fact, I borrowed some tips from Jessie&#8217;s (The Hungry Mouse) <a title="Homemade Meatballs" href="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/home/2008/10/23/homemade-meatballs-a-step-by-step-tutorial/" target="_blank">meatball recipe</a> and changed it a bit. After all, meat patties or hamburgers are simply the flatter, bigger version of meatballs. I think. Heheh.</p>
<p>Anyway, this is the end result&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_1160" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 483px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/hmburger7.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1160" title="Homemade herbed hamburger" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/hmburger7.jpg" alt="Homemade herbed hamburger" width="473" height="316" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Homemade herbed hamburger</p></div>
<p>Of course The Food Critic was ecstatic. He finally gets to eat homemade hamburgers without needing to spend a fortune at some overpriced restaurant. I made quite a lot, so he actually ate it for lunch and dinner!</p>
<p>So, here&#8217;s the recipe for:</p>
<h2>Homemade Herbed Hamburgers</h2>

Stir in the oats and mix well</p></div>
<p>6. Heat up some oil in a pan. Form meat patties with a ladle and slide it into the hot oil.</p>
<div id="attachment_1167" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 483px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/burgersteps10.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1167" title="Fry it, both sides, until it turns brownish like this and remove from heat." src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/burgersteps10.jpg" alt="Fry it, both sides, until it turns brownish like this and remove from heat." width="473" height="356" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">7. Fry the meat patties, on both sides, until it turns brownish like this and remove from heat.</p></div>
<p>I know you must be wondering why there&#8217;s also a &#8217;special sauce&#8217; ingredients. Well, instead of just serving up the hamburgers as well, burgers, I thought I might as well use the leftover oil in the pan to create a special sauce as toppings for the meat patties to be served as a main dish, like this:</p>
<div id="attachment_1157" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 480px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/burgersteps25.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1157" title="Hamburgers as a meat patty main dish with special sauce" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/burgersteps25.jpg" alt="Hamburgers as a meat patty main dish with special sauce" width="470" height="353" /></a></dt>
</dl>
</div>
<p>So, now that you&#8217;ve fried all of your burgers and there is some oil left. Don&#8217;t throw it out! Use it to make the special sauce as it would have all the added flavours of the meat. Right from the start, I used olive oil and I didn&#8217;t use much oil so ended up, I have about 3 tbsp of oil left in the wok which is just perfect for the sauce.</p>
<p>Now, on to the sauce:</p>
<div class="mceTemp">
<dl id="attachment_1166" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 385px;">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/burgersteps12.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1166" title="Get your ingredients all ready" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/burgersteps12.jpg" alt="Get your ingredients all ready" width="375" height="500" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">1.

Add in the soya milk and then the corn flour </p></div>
<p>4. Stir and mix the sauces well. The corn flour is to thicken it so that it won&#8217;t be so watery.</p>
<div id="attachment_1163" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 482px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/burgersteps18.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1163" title="Sautee the garlic and onions" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/burgersteps18.jpg" alt="Sautee the garlic and onions" width="472" height="355" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">5. Sautee the garlic and onions in the same pan used to fry the burgers. If you look, you&#39;d notice that there&#39;s still some  bits of meat from the burgers I fried earlier.</p></div>

<p>7. Then add in the sauces and stir.</p>

<p>9. Then it is done, ready to be served with the meat patties / hamburgers.</p>
<div id="attachment_1159" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 416px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/burgersteps24.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1159" title="You just pour it over the hamburgers and serve" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/burgersteps24.jpg" alt="You just pour it over the hamburgers and serve" width="406" height="500" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">You just pour it over the hamburgers and serve</p></div>
<p>But if you prefer something you can eat on the go, then you don&#8217;t need to prepare the sauce. Just serve the meat patties as the filling for a hamburger sandwich.</p>
<div class="mceTemp">
<dl id="attachment_1158" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 458px;">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/hmburger6.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1158" title="A hamburger sandwich" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/hmburger6.jpg" alt="A hamburger sandwich" width="448" height="299" /></a></dt>
</dl>
</div>
<p>So, there you have it. One herbed hamburger, two different ways to serve it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For Penangites who frequently eat in Pulau Tikus area, I am sure they would have heard about Top Top Restaurant which used to be at a shop along the main road of Burmah Road.I remember it used to be quite swanky (at least by my student days standard) and eating there was considered a luxury. The food is also quite good.</p>
<p>That was quite a long time ago and then one day, they closed down. I didn&#8217;t know what happened to them until in recent years, I heard that they are operating out of their home in the same area. Now, hearing about it does not make it easy for me to find the place. Then my personal chef (aka The Food Critic aka The Food Hunter) found out the location and we went there for dinner.</p>
<p>It was still as good and in quite a cosy atmosphere despite it being based in the &#8216;restaurant&#8217; owner&#8217;s home. So, here&#8217;s introducing Top Top Restaurant, now known as Yaw&#8217;s Roast and Grill.</p>
<div id="attachment_1021" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 464px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/yaws.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1021" title="The 'kitchen' is outside in a corner of their house compound" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/yaws.jpg" alt="The 'kitchen' is outside in a corner of their house compound" width="454" height="606" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The &#39;kitchen&#39; is outside in a corner of their house compound</p></div>
<p>They filled up the rest of their compound with plastic tables and chairs and even placed some tables and chairs inside their living room. And no, there is no signboard outside the house. That&#8217;s why it wasn&#8217;t easy for us to trace them until we were specifically given the address!</p>
<div id="attachment_1022" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 473px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/yaws3.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1022" title="A view from inside the living room, looking out to more seating outside" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/yaws3.jpg" alt="A view from inside the living room, looking out to more seating outside" width="463" height="348" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">A view from inside the living room, looking out to more seating outside</p></div>
<p>Now, let&#8217;s get on to the menu and food, eh?</p>
<div id="attachment_1024" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 474px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/yaws2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1024" title="Here's a menu of the food offered here" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/yaws2.jpg" alt="Here's a menu of the food offered here" width="464" height="619" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Here&#39;s a menu of the food offered here</p></div>
<p>And here are the food we ordered&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_1023" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 482px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/yaws4.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1023" title="Grilled giant sausage which is the specialty of the day" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/yaws4.jpg" alt="Grilled giant sausage which is the specialty of the day" width="472" height="355" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Grilled giant sausage which is the specialty of the day</p></div>
<p>They have specialty dishes on different days and on the day we went, they have giant sausage so we ordered that. Nothing really all that great about it since it is just sausage they probably got from somewhere to be grilled and served.</p>
<div id="attachment_1025" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 481px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/yaws5.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1025" title="Mixed grill" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/yaws5.jpg" alt="Mixed grill" width="471" height="354" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mixed grill</p></div>
<p>Their mixed grill consists of lamb chops, sausage, bacon and grilled chicken breast meat. It is served with a small serving of fries and some fresh greens. It is practically meat galore with a dusting of black pepper. Considering the different types of meat on this plate, all of it are grilled to perfection and in quite a good portion size. The Food Critic could finish this whole plate of meat but he didn&#8217;t and shared it with me instead.</p>
<div id="attachment_1026" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 485px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/yaws6.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1026" title="Fish Maryland" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/yaws6.jpg" alt="Fish Maryland" width="475" height="357" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Chicken Maryland</p></div>
<p>We went there with another couple and one of them ordered chicken maryland. I can vouch for the chicken maryland as I&#8217;ve ordered it the first time we came here.</p>
<p>I ordered the fish version this time around. Of course, I shared my fish maryland with The Food Critic and my picky toddler. Here&#8217;s a closer look&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_1030" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><a href="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/yaws10.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1030" title="Fish Maryland" src="http://thefoodsite.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/yaws10.jpg" alt="Fish Maryland" width="480" height="640" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"> </p></div>
<p>The fish is deep fried with a crispy, crunchy crust and since it&#8217;s maryland, naturally it has a sausage and a slice of ham with the fish. The fish was not bland and is rather tasty as it was probably seasoned before it was deep fried. What&#8217;s more, it is quite a big portion too&#8230;that&#8217;s why I was able to share it with my son and The Food Critic.</p>

<p>My other friend ordered chicken chop and it looks pretty good too. I&#8217;ve tried their chicken maryland before and since the chicken is probably fried the same way, I can safely say it is crunchy and good. As usual, the chicken is the deboned chicken thigh so the meat is tender.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about the chicken chop sauce though.</p>
<p>My verdict: the overall experience of eating at Yaw&#8217;s is that of cosyness and far from being a quiet place, it is often packed with most tables occupied. So, be prepared to enjoy great western style food in the midst of chatter from the crowds there. However, it is a great place to hang out with friends and catch up while waiting for the food to be served.</p>
<p>The prices are pretty reasonable and I could say it goes with the portion. I would not say that it is really good food but it is good enough for me to want to go back there again. Only problem is that parking space is not easy to find as you will have to park along the roadside. It is located within a residential area after all.</p>
