Zhang Fei beef jerky

I love beef jerky, especially Oberto beef jerky. I used to eat a lot of those while in university. Oberto jerky comes in different flavors, from original to teriyaki. Its hard and chewy.

While visiting China, I found the Chinese version of beef jerky, Zhang Fei beef. Zhang Fei was a general from the three kingdoms period. So what does a historical general got to do with beef jerky? I have no idea, let me know if you do.


The big pack.


The individual pack.


The beef meat itself.

Actually, it doesn't really qualify as a jerky because its not really dried. The meat is still moist and tender. Zhang Fei beef also comes in a variety of flavors and they even have beef tendon. It taste really good! However, both Oberto and Zhang Fei are not cheap. Good stuff don't come cheap.

Oreo wafer stick

There is a new Oreo on the market and its not a cookie sandwiched with different filling in the middle. Its actually a wafer stick so you can't twist it and lick it, but you can still dunk it in milk if you prefer.



It taste just like the cookie but its a wafer. Yummy! The price is not cheap though, its 4 bucks for a pack of 5.

Freeze dried Durian

At the beginning of this year, a relative brought me something call freeze dried durian from Thailand. It taste so good that it was all gone before I realize that I should take a picture to blog about it. Well, I just got a second chance.

Now before I continue, I have to say how did the Thais ever came out with this idea. They have durians, we have durians. Why didn't we ever thought of this?

This is how the packaging looks like. I suppose there are many different brands because the one that I got earlier this year is not this brand. However, the taste is just as good!

Individual packings. Two packs in all.

From the picture above, you can tell that it is not soft or soggy. It is not chewy either like how a dehydrated fruit typically is. It doesn't melt in your mouth. Its kinda puffy. The taste and aroma is superb if you are a durian lover but a nightmare for those who can't take durian.

So if you are ever in Thailand, remember to grab a bunch of it.

Bumbu Bali

I rarely write about food, so here is one of those rare posting. We went to Puchong today because Shirley needed to go to the bank. After that we decided to head over to Bumbu Bali after reading about it on eatinout. Bumbu Bali sell Balinese Fusion food. Beside food, they also sell some home decor. I am not sure whether those decor are truly from Bali or not but they are not cheap.

Anyway, here are the food that we ordered.

Lamb Chop(RM21.50)

The lamb chop is quite tasty. They marinated the lamb with some kind of balinese sauce.

Big Mouth Burger with Cheese(RM18)

Just like those burger they serve in American Chilis or TGIF. The patty just taste too plain. It would be better if they've added some of those sauce used in marinating the lamb chop.

Nasi Express set: Sambal Sotong Petai (RM11.90)

I don't know how this taste but it looks hot to me.

Overall, its not bad and I wouldn't mind going again. However, the place is quite warm because there are no air conditioning. If not for the occasional wind, I will be sweating. The lack of air conditioning is really a big minus. I recommend going during the night as it would be cooler.

Usual TPM mixed rice

Yesterday I posted about LunchBox. Today, I like to show what we usually eat. The awful mixed rice. The rice is usually very coarse, and sometimes its cold. Since the petrol hike this is what we have to endured, as going out to eat is a luxury.

LunchBox

Since there are lots of blogs out there talking about food, I think I'll write something about food also. Today's lunch is at LunchBox, a recently open eatery inside Technology Park Malaysia(TPM). Since there are not much of a choice to choose from in the first place inside TPM, this is something different.


This is what I ordered. A turkey ham pita. Taste is just ok but, again, considering the kind of food you can get in TPM, this is great! Relatively speaking.
