Review : Whup Whup @ SS13 Subang Jaya

Whup Whup SS13 signboard and interior
Hidden deep within Subang Jaya's industrial area where no one expects to find anything other than factories lies Whup Whup, an industrial yarn factory turned casual french eatery. The journey to here might seem dodgy and you will probably believe Waze is taking you in the wrong direction but it isn't. Parking is free but is limited. While you can also park outside for free, it can be limited during working hours due to the neighboring factories and offices. 

As you can see from the pictures, the owners kept most of the factory aspects and even equipment within the compound which gave the restaurant a lovely vintage nostalgic look and feel. Before you enter and even upon entering it feels more like entering a cool factory rather than a restaurant until you see the chefs and waiters. 

Menu selection was limited - 1 A4 page for appetizers/mains and another A4 page for desserts and beverages. However, it was obvious alot of thought and creativity went into building the contents as they sounded special and not the usual run-of-mill food.  


Whup Whup SS13 Chicken Mojo W Rosmary's Taters + Pan Fried Oranges
What's this called : Chicken Mojo W Rosmary's Taters + Pan Fried Oranges

What's in it : Grilled chicken topped with tomato & onion concasse with mash potato on the side.

 Chubsquared thoughts : This dish was supposed to be served with roast potato cubes but it was finished hence replaced with mashed potato (I'm not complaining, I prefer mash over potato cubes). The chicken was nicely cooked - juicy and tender. The sauce went well with it too and made the dish more appetizing. However, that side dish which I am unsure of its contents (pictured in a small ceramic bowl) tasted awful and after a taste of it I put it aside to never touch again. The menu stated "Pan Fried Oranges", note the plural in Orange, but I only got ONE orange slice. However, that orange slice tasted lovely -  sweet with a slight fried taste and extremely appetizing after such a full meal. 

Whup Whup SS13 Salmon Hayek
What's this called : Salmon Hayek

 What's in it : Salmon belly fillet on a bed of spaghetti with tomato & onion concasse.

 Chubsquared thoughts : My picture does not do justice to that salmon fillet (I'm sorry, Salmon). That salmon was seared to perfection; it melted in the mouth and tasted divine! The spaghetti was al-dente, nothing special about it although it did go well with the concasse whose omission would have made the pasta taste try and boring. Note that concasse is exactly the same as the one in the chicken dish above. The star of this dish is definitely that salmon!   

Overall Chubsquared-tified : 2/3 Food was good and acceptable. Will likely return to try something else.

Review : Le Food @ SS18 Subang

Anybody who knows me well will know I am generally not a fan of vegetarian cuisine because in my experience with them they tend to be tasteless, or deep fried unhealthily with lots of batter, or consisting of fake ingredients - none of which I associate to be healthy which really defeats the purpose of going vegan.  However, my lunch companion was vegan yesterday so we headed to SS18 Organic Vegetarian Fresh Mart and Restaurant to eat. Upon parking we saw Le Food few shops down and being curious souls checked it out and lo and behold it was an all vegetarian restaurant with an equally interesting menu to boot!  Le Food SS18 is a new baby on the block just shy of 2 weeks into its opening with a promise to serve tasty healthy food without the 3 evils - MSG, preservatives, artificial colorings & flavors. They do have another branch at Bandar Bukit Tinggi Klang but that location is definitely out of our reach so this SS18 branch is a real blessing for us! Being ne...

Review : Naj & Belle @ Bangsar

Image
Tucked away at a residential lane in Bukit Pantai Bangsar lies Naj & Belle, home to Malaysia's knockoff of the famous Black Star Pastry's watermelon cake in Sydney. Apart from that, this is a very good brunch place with a pleasant modern design, high ceilings, brightly lit, and big comfortable seats to lounge in. They have another branch located at SS15 Courtyard Subang mall but the area is not as spacious as this one and the menu is very different with less interesting options. Our drinks. L : Watermelon Lychee Juice, R : Mother's Bouquet Flower Tea What's this called : Soft Shell Crab Linguini What's in it : Asian style carbonara with curry leaves and bird eye chili topped with fried soft shell crab. Chubsquared thoughts : We were initially confused by what "Asian style carbonara" is and was happily surprised to see it referred to delicious butter sauce that I absolutely love. Take note this means it is not your usual chees...

Review : Bla Bla Bla @ Kuching

Image
Had a work trip to Kuching earlier this year and made it a priority to try as many popular restaurants as possible. This particular restaurant was recommended by the hotel we stayed at and is also in TripAdvisor's Top 10 must go restaurants. I would just like to ruin the rest of this review by saying upfront I LOVE this restaurant and it definitely made it to my to-return list.  The ambience of this place is Balinese style : very relaxing and inviting with dimmed lighting. The tables are set apart at a good distance which makes talking and hearing across the table easy. Definitely a place to chill out at to enjoy good food and good company.  What's this called : Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab What's in it : Soft shell crab with chicken floss drizzled with lots of buttered mayo. Chubsquared thoughts : Soooo goooood.The soft shell crab is perfectly battered and fried and tasted delicious with the pairing of floss and buttered mayo. What...
