Sanook Dine|Club|Lounge

Today I am going to introduce you a new joint that I frequent a lot lately, Sanook Dine|Club|Lounge at Plaza Kelana Jaya. Don't ask me what Sanook means, it sounded a bit of Thai to me.

I am a bit choosy on the venue of my happy hour session with my buddies, we want nice environment, cheap booze, easy listening music & reasonably nice finger food. Sanook is located at the all new Plaza Kelana Jaya, to give a better picture of the location, please find the map below. It is right behind the now demolished Kelana Jaya Seafood Restaurant along the LDP.

Talking about affordable booze. My buddies know that I am not a beer fan, I never like beer, any beer for that reason. I am more of a Draught Guinness fan. And before the promotion ends, a perfect full pint of Guinness in Sanook now is only RM16++ and if you enjoy Kilkenny a full pint is about RM18++ now (happy hour ends at 9.30PM). Reasonable innit? I am not too sure about the happy hour rate for beer, but beer price is about the same everywhere, RM30plus, the promo is buy one jug free one mug.

And if you love single malt whisky like I do, check out their Singleton & Macallan pricing, one of the most affordable in town. Get wasted by the lakeside with fountains.

As for the food, so far all my buddies commented that their food is pretty nice & tasty. They serve from Western to Chinese ala carte and once in a while, there will be surprise menu on that particular day.



And while having my session there last night, I bumped into someone from GAB who told me that Sanook will be one of the few outlets in Selangor that will be hosting the new season of Tiger FC. There will be some activities there during matchday, it prompted me to start an event in Facebook for the upcoming clash of the titans match on 13th September 2008, the Kops versus the Devils. Up to date, 15 people already confirmed their attendance, if you are on Facebook, click on the event invitation here and RSVP.

So wear your jerseys and let's see who gonna kick whose ass that night. Be there early and be entertained with a giant 12ft x 9ft projector screen and 7 units of LG 42" LCD TV. Let's pray the weather is on our side :)

Alternatively you can call and make your reservations and oh ya, if you have a minimum of 4 pax and above in a group, there is pick up service available within a certain radius from the joint. Do check out....

My Salami

I was having dinner with my ex-colleagues & a female friend last night at The Curve. It had been a while since I last meet the bunch. We had great time and like many others who are close to me, they are very interested in my private life, like if I found a gf or not.

D: "So Mike, what's new in your life?"
Me: "Been busy with works, what do you want to know?"
D: "Though busy with works, once in a while you got to get service your salami"
Me: "Huh?"
N (a girl): "Mike, your antenna very short-lah"

Then when I got back home, I did a wikipedia on "SALAMI" and....

"Salami is cured sausage, fermented and air-dried. Salami may refer specifically to a class of salumi (the Italian tradition of cured meats), where an individual sausage or style of sausage (e.g. Genoa) would be referred to with the singular Italian form salame."

Then I finally know what he meant by servicing my salami. Hmm... interesting.

It had been a while since I last got my salami serviced. Right now at the moment, my salami perhaps look like this.



Got caught up in the net. If they can regard guy's part as salami, I am wondering what do you call for the opposite sex? Any idea?


ps: it had been a great fun night, thanks to dave for the dinner & guiness draught.

MikeMmery Pimped Ole-Ole Bali, Sunway Pyramid

It had been a while since I last write about the makan places. I had this authentic Indonesian food at Sunway Pyramid, it resembles Bumbu Bali @ Bandar Puteri, Puchong which I did a posting for it in the past.

Food wise very much alike Bumbu's. The only thing which is much better is the restaurant's ambience & surroundings. Huge comfortable Balinese plank chair, the smell of some scented joss sticks make the place pretty relaxing and soothing.

But be aware when you order the food. Unless you had a big tank like mine, it is advisable especially for ladies to share their food. Because the portion is really big.

We had this Ayam Betutu and Siap Megoreng which all these specialties will be served with Nasi Kuning, Sambel Matah, Sambel Terasi, Rempeyek, Sauteed Kangkong & other condiments. Both come with half chicken. So imagine the portion.



Then my lady friend had this Mixed Green Salad - a mixture of fresh vegetables, hard-boiled egg, fried shallots, fried tofu with spicy lemongrass & shallot dressing.



And the picture below is another Balinese specialties, Nasi Campur Ole-Ole. It is the combination of Balinese Grilled Lemongrass Prawns, Squid, Fish, choice of beef or chicken rendang & sate lilit, served with Lawar, Sambel Terasi and Sambel Matah.



And the desserts they served put Baskin Robbin to shame. We had this special Banana Bowl - three scoops of Ice Cream (vanilla, chocolate & strawberry), tempting toppings & bananas. Yummy... yummy...



And the damage - trust me, with this wholesome dinner, the damage is relatively be categorized under "Affordable & Reasonable".

Ayam Betutu - RM22
Siap Megoreng - RM21
Nasi Campur Ole-Ole - RM30
Mixed Green Salad - RM7
Banana Bowl - RM9
Service & BN's taxes (15%) - RM13.35
Total Damage - RM102.35

Tempting huh?
