Feasting With Friends @ The Han Room, The Gardens Mid Valley

(Non-Halal)

JK, an old childhood friend of mine since primary school days has always enjoyed good food and we have enjoyed sharing many food experiences through the years we have known each other.  We would be the ones walking over to Sakura in Jalan Imbi (back in the late 70s and early 80s) and ordering the Nasi Lemak for take away where the two of us would be tucking away in our school canteen.  I remember, back then the famous Nasi Lemak (now being served in Madam Kwan's - Sakura's still around but their nasi lemak has never been the same since Madam started dishing out on her own, haha...) was just about RM4.50 or so, it was a luxury at that time and one that we would indulge in ever so often.  Yes, those were the days where we would sign autograph books with each school year ending. Remember, those silly things we use to write ? Silly, but since we were so young, we probably thought they were quite poignant! LOL ...

"Drink hot coffee, drink hot tea
Burn your lips and remember me"

"Me no study, me no care
Me go marry a millionaire
If he dies, me no cry
Me go marry another guy"

Our friendship has withstood the test of time; the ups and downs but here we are, still enjoying ourselves when it comes to food.  Nothing much has changed with JK and her love for good food. 30 odd years down the line, we are still sharing that love for good food. This post of the wonderful feast we had at The Han Room is dedicated to you JK, my old friend ...

Thank you!

The lovely three layer siew yoke (Roast Pork)

The addictive Paku Vegetable in Spicy Sauce

Three Treasures :-

Treasure No. 1 - Baked Scallop

Treasure No. 2 - Crispy Cod Fish Roll with Chicken Floss

Treasure No. 3 - Lobster Thai style

Golden Crispy Shimeji Mushroom - gotta have my fave mushrooms!

Smoked Potato Roll with Bacon - delightful bites

Kai Lan 2 ways - I'm more fond of the oilier and tastier deep fried shredded leaves :o)

Mini Wok Seafood Tofu - JK's favourite order at most Chinese restaurants and The Han Room's version is packed full of flavours.

Hokkien Noodles (good but Reunion's better!)

 and of course with the essential accompaniment

Crispy Lard!!! 

Chilled Layered Herbal Jelly with Mango Pudding ... lovely but what was even better ?

Durian Pudding! Looking like a mini boiling pot of mumbo jumbo cauldron (though it's not metal!) from the dry ice effect, there was nothing confusing about the durian pudding that had just the right texture with rich yet not over the top goodness.

As the finale - Three Colour Combo Juice for a festive feel.  A mix of juices of two combos, my least favourite was the green cos it was a mix of vegetables! Mom never made me finish my vegetables but let's not blame her ... hahaha...

Cheers! Here's to friendship ...
