Let’s take a break from the Chinese New Year fever post and let’s talk about some regular food instead. 
The other day I was pestering dad to show me the way to the Jusco in Bukit Tinggi, the largest Jusco shopping outlet in Malaysia. Yeah, yeah I wanna go! But first, I have to know the way, right?
Being the good dad he is, he promised to fetch me there for dinner after work. 
Milk tea for daddy!
There are just so many food outlets there, but knowing my dad, it he will choose a Hong Kong style restaurant. Not that I mind, I rike also!
I don’t like to watch Bosco Wong’s TVB drama, but he still have to be here to disturb my dinner.
This is dad’s fried pork cube nissin noodles. So soupy!
While I ordered this Japanese style unagi stone rice set, which comes with soup, and for another dollar I ordered this:
Coke lemon. Or lemon Coke. Whichever, lol!
Russian borsch!
Eating unagi is a big leap for me. You see, if you have ever, ever eaten sushi with me, chances are that, it is hard to shove an unagi sushi down my throat. But this time, its different. OMG UNAGI STONE RICE IS TEH GOOD! Minus the rice I mean. Darn, those hot stones overcooked my rice. Gah! So from now onwards, I proclaim that: “I SHALL EAT UNAGI WHEN IT IS WARM!!!” Cold unagi still sucks. I hate the fishy smell.
And, oh! I love Aeon Bukit Tinggi! Its in my must go list!

Thai food has always been one of my favourite, mainly because my taste bud is skewed towards sourness, one of the main traits of Thai food. The thing is, most of the Thai food that I’ve eaten were mostly in Malay restaurant, and although they are quite good, it wasn’t as authentic. However, this Authentic Thai in Bandar Bukit Tinggi is the real thing. I mean, real Thai. Heh.
This place is so authentically Siamese that it is oozing Thaism! The waitresses speak Thai and the dishes were named in Thai with English translation. To top that off, the portions are dainty and there are vegetable carvings as dishes decorations.
This time round we came with mum, and sis wasn’t here.
Fried pork ribs. Mum said that we must order this because I might not be able to eat rice if there is no pork dishes.
Sotong fritters with fried garlic. There were no vegetable carvings this time. How disappointing! I must get those pictures of the previous visit from sis and post it up.
Stir fried mixed vegetable. The usual fare. Nothing out of ordinary but it was done just nice.
Seafood tomyam. They put in almost everything! Like, umm, prawns, squids, clams and fish(ball)s. The tomyam soup was tasty, with just the correct amount of sourness and spiciness.
Authentic Thai is an average family restaurant serving authentic Thai dishes. (Doh!) Their pricing is affordable, which is a good thing because I still have a lot of dishes on the menu that I haven’t try. I’ve forgotten whether we need to pay for tax or not though.
Next time, maybe.

The pictures in this shop are taken without flash, so its a little bit on the dark side. I like the teacup design.
Ocha, the standard drink in any Japanese style restaurant. They have it hot. Real hot. Blek.
Some condiments, which I think are seven taste red pepper, chilli oil and white pepper, along with shoyu peeking from behind the green bottle.
Daddy’s black stir fried pepper udon. A bit too spicy to our liking. I ordered gyu niku ramen (as always!) and it was kinda ok, with beef slices, veggie and some naruto slices. I don’t really fancy those narutos. I am a real meat fan.
I think this place is not too bad, although the service needs improvements.
