"Where to?" the unpaid driver (ME) asked... "Why not try the newly opened food court in First Garden?", Nancy suggested. Oh, I didn't know the way, not my territory, but after a few twists and turns on the road, we finally reached the destination, the Golden Point aka GP in First Garden.
Really newly opened 29/10/2009
Golden Point
big complex, food court downstairs
exercising gym upstairs, i was told..
Kong and I walked round the food court
and ended up ordering something fishy...
and ended up ordering something fishy...
one of them fish..waiting to be our "victim"
after 15 min. our dish arrived...
looked kind of plain, right?
but the taste was very different... fantastic!
Chef Elin's review of the fish...
"black beans with sugar, garlic, shallots.."
just rightly cooked, not dry, not raw either..
smooth texture with the original kind of taste..
after walloping one sizzling plate of mee
she can still manage some spoonful of rice..
including the fish and its tail
sucking and eating the fish bones.. LOL....
there, i told u, she sucked in all!!! poor fish....
now u see it...
and now u don't
no head, no tail... guess who have taken it all???
Though the fish cost RM24 with one plate of rice,
it was worth it, head and tail also missing already!
and now u don't
no head, no tail... guess who have taken it all???
Though the fish cost RM24 with one plate of rice,

ReplyDeleteyummm......steam fish.....seems too good to be lunch le...lol
ReplyDeletelooks very interesting...never had anything like it here. I had to chuckle about the gym upstairs, I would need to use it after I had a big lunch!
ReplyDeletejust like Christopher says, lunch only lor, already so "foon fu" , these kind of dishes for me only can get during Kong Hee Fatt Choy..hahahahah
ReplyDeleteFaYe: yes,fresh water fish tastes better unfrozen.. but if given no choice, we got to make do with frozen ones.. :)
ReplyDeletechris: one dish only lar for lunch.. no other dishes.. something light..
eric: we just wanna try how it taste, so we ordered just one dish and try..nibbling..
Cheryl: yeah..that was what i heard, either exercise first then wallop downstairs or the other way round...
eugene: not foong foo la..one dish only as i said..just to try out the fish..if good, next time bring my kids there..
bones also gone????????? eiiikkk....hahahahhaa....fish is best cooked simply....
ReplyDeleteRM24!!! Quite expensive wor... but since the bone also gone, then you all 'dai fan' teehee...
ReplyDeletemanglish: hehee.. can masuk guiness book of record.. missing bones..
ReplyDeleteAgnes: that was what i tot too.. very expensive for a fish and one rice.. that was why my fren "sucked" the fish dry.. :)
Nice place for eating and the fish is so fresh from the water!
ReplyDeleteWah... your friend Chef Elin, very efficient leh... must be so yummy, bones also must wallop habis!
