Blue Reef

this is the place i will packed my olio at the very last minute when they are about to close
never actually sat down and dine until the other day
even the staff there joke 'eh, you are early today?' haha
back to the food
they are having set lunch, with any main course ordered, add only RM 1 to get soup of the day and also a glass of ice lemon tea..
so we opt for the set lunch

the soup of the day: leek and potato soup
its not to be say over creamy, pretty good consistency and the taste of leek was pretty strong..this will be real comfort food during the rainy days (but its been freaking HOT lately)..it comes with a slice of homemade garlic bread..nothing to shout about there

chloe main course: grilled garoupa with smashed dill potatoes and long beans..accompanied with grain mustard sauce if i'm not mistaken..i first ate this when my housemate tapao for me and i finish everything all by myself..the fish was done properly and the accompanied sauce and potatoes were pretty addictive..

this is mine: pan-seared salmon with marinated couscous and tomato confit ..i seldom eat grilled or cooked salmon at restaurant coz they tend to be disappointing as its always overcooked..when this arrived, it seems that way too..as it looks a bit tad dry, but it was still coral pink inside and flaky too..and i always love my salmon skin crisp..its all there for me..and the couscous was yummy yummy...very flavorful..i do hope its a bigger portion of couscous..hihi

fishball maincourse: fish n chips (beer battered)..fish used was the catch of the day, a local fish where i barely remember its name..i had pretty high hope on this..the fish inside was still nice..slightly i mean slightly dry but with a dash of malt vinegar..its still yummy yum..the beer battered was ermmmm...its crispy but not light enough as normal beer battered..compared to magnificent fish, i would prefer magnificent fish..oops

another thing i would like to mention, when you step into the restaurant you will see their wall are full with drawings drawn by their customers especially kids..they said it is to distract the children from running around the shop..its good huh..and its better when they really actually hang it up..oh did mention the staffs there are very informational and very friendly..

let see some of the drawings painted by their guest who is also a cartoonist hailed all the way from Japan..i heart those below:

aren't they adorable?? simple but lovely...

my crime partners for the day

my crime partner as usual

we have our painting too...nice nice?? i wonder will they stick this up..let see for myself on the next visit...

it was a freaking hot afternoon the other day but it was one good meal after a long time..but still finding the one that comfort me..GOSH GOSH...^^btw, i love their olio..really do..the staff knew it too..
