T.G.I. FRIDAY’S @ The Curve

This was my first time dining in FRiDAY’S, after so many recommendations from friends. While I was waiting to be seated, saw there were some people singing birthday sound loudly and joyfully. Have a closer look on it, those who singing are the FRiDAY’S staff, they are enjoying and celebrating birthday with customers. What a  warm and pleasant staff and environment here.

There are lots of decorations everywhere in the restaurant, and you can spend your time in looking on these while waiting for your foods.

HEINZ tomato and chilli sauce

Strawberry Surprise

For soft drinks, you allowed to refill as many times as you wish.

Something good for weekdays, where you may order for 2 course meals with just RM 29.90, sound great to me. Of course there are just some limited choices for you, but still worth if the choices are your favourites.

 

Fried Mac & Cheese

Inside the Fried Mac & Cheese

Quite special to me, there were some creamy cheeses and elbow noodles inside it, and you may get full after you ate all of these.

 

Beef Bacon Cheeseburger

A beef burger covered with melted Colby cheese, crispy beef bacon with the classic fixings and served with crispy fries. This plate of burger is big and mean too big for a lady, but it quite tasty, just that the beef bacon was a bit dry.

Sizzling Chicken and Shrimp

Sautéed garlic marinated chicken breast and plump shrimp tossed with zesty roma tomato basil salsa. Served with onions and peppers and some cheddar cheese mashed potatoes on a sizzling platter of melted Colby and Jack cheese.

Shrimps are springy, and pretty good for the chicken meat, just that may a bit of greasy because there are lots of cheeses here. It was quite a large plate.

Chicken Ranchero Tacos

Inside the Tacos

Tender slow simmered chicken mixed with spicy Ranchero tomato sauce, Monterey Jack cheese stuffed in soft tortillas and topped with some corn, black bean pico de gallo and shredded cheese.

You may choose to be served with a choice of Roasted Potatoes and Peppers, Grilled New Orleans Corn Cob or Herbs Rice. Here we choose Roasted potatoes and peppers, moderate rating.

Fish & Chips

Three portions of fish filet battered and fried to golden brown, served with fries, coleslaw and tartar sauce. The fish filet really big comparing with others restaurant, taste fresh and crispy.

 

Garlic Marinated Grilled Lamb Chops

This was the plate that we had been waited for quite some times.

Lamb chops marinated with garlic, seared to medium, which is my bro’s favourite. Serve with demi glace, beef bits, seasonal vegetables and cheddar cheese mashed potatoes.

Medium cook was just nice, as the meat was still tender and soft. The vegetables were tasty with some sauce on it.

 

Chocolate Oreo* Mint Crunch & Tropical Delight

Lastly, some desserts, very small cup but is just nice after some large plate of meat.

Chocolate Oreo, was yummy, it was a small cup of chocolate mint custard covered with crunchy Oreo cookie.

For the Tropical Delight, scrumptious coconut custard sprinkled with toasted coconut flaske and pieces of fresh sweet pineapple. It was something special to me, it has some pineapple in it, was not sour but sweet.

Foods were served pretty fast, even there were many customers on the day we visited, but if you still haven’t get your food after some while or after seeing your friends finished theirs’, you better check your order, as one of our order was being left out. Pity my bro waiting there for nothing but just seeing us to enjoy our meal. But some points add on here: the person in charge I guess, when he get knew on this, he quickly send a bowl of soup for him as compensation, and my bro can choose what soup he like, so envy of him.

Mushroom soup

Well, some disappointment: there was a small sticker on the plate of Chicken Ranchero Tacos, which may swallow it accidently if unrealised, but we didn’t complaint on this to the manager.

Total  RM 201 for five of us. In this kind of environment, locations, foods deliciousness, services, staff warm and kindness, I will say it is worth.

Annie’s Little Kitchen @ Miri

Annie’s Little Kitchen, located behind the Miri City Food Court, to me is a sweet little restaurant, as you see its decorations inside the restaurant, you will know the owner has pay lots of efforts and times in decorating and creating comfortable environment for customers. The restaurant is assessed as grade “A” for its cleanliness by the Miri City Council, which mean excellent, so you should rest assured to have your meal here.

 

You can refer to the photos on the wall, to stimulate your appetite before you decide what to order.

Today’s Special Menu Board

The choices are varies, Chinese, Malay, Western, Thailand style, etc. But the price may little higher.

Fish and Lamp served with rice RM 18

This price is reasonable, as usually it cost more than RM10 in other restaurant, simply a slice of lamp chop.

Another view on Fish and Lamp with rice, closer look on the fried fish.

Lamp itself has a strong smell, some may feel uncomfortable to it. But the lamp meat is soft and ease to chew, not too dry in another word. The fried fish quite nice with the sauce.

Stew beef with pasta RM 13

Closer look on the stew beef. You may choose to served with rice or pasta, but is recommended to have pasta, as it really taste good with stew beef. The beef was soft and its sauce was yummy, you can have more bowl of rice simply with the sauce itself.

Overall, it’s foods are really nice and its has lots of choices, the restaurant itself is clean and nice with the decorations, just that the price may little bit high, so some people like me may not afford to go there frequently. Howsoever, there are still lots of choices I haven’t try and I am sure I will visit there again to try on others meals.
