Tickling My Tastebuds

It was Christmas and well, I will be celebrating alone in the place where Christmas is NOT a public holiday, the upper east coast of Malaysia... *You know where*

Anyhow, in order to give myself a tinge of Christmas spirit and warmth in the midst of my preparation for exam, I've decided to look around for a satisfying dinner on Christmas Day.

I searched on Foursquare, Facebook, and even drive around Kota Bharu... And I've found this cosy little Western restaurant at a middle of a rather quite street.

I saw their Christmas menu on their FB & so I've decided to have my Christmas meal there. Although I'm alone, I still called and made my reservation for safety sake.

On Christmas Day, it was raining but as I walked into Joe & Pepper, I was greeted warmly & I felt happy.
I've made my choice from the Christmas menu set & the food was served very quickly.
Starter.. Cream of Garbanzo soup (Chick pea)

The soup was very creamy and has a light taste of fresh chick pea, and the bread stick was made of parsley and pepper... Simple yet awesome with the fragrance of both~ Really appetizing!
Starter: Puff Pastry & Seaweed Chicken Salad
This puff is crispy on the outside, and juicy in the inside (tender chicken meat)..
The initial menu was the CHOICE of EITHER Garbanzo soup OR puff pastry, but due to the Christmas spirit, the owner decided to include BOTH in the set~ Superb!

Entrees: Pan Grilled Australian Rib Eye Steak
The main course was a choice between Pan Roasted Norwegian Salmon Fillet and this pan grilled rib eye steak. And I chose steak. As you can see, there's a thin slice of beef bacon on top of the steak, to increase the taste of the steak.
I ate them separately, and then together. Both taste juicy & delicious!

This is the side dish potato. Instead of the normal mashed potato, Joe & Pepper sliced it into thin slices of potato, and layered it with butter, like lasagna... It's really tasty with the fresh potato taste and unsalted butter & pepper... *I personally preferred salted butter in this case*

Dessert: French Opera Cake
Last but not least, the dessert! By the end of the main course, frankly I'm full. But yet again the chocolate-y piece of cake just managed to make its room in my stomach.. :P

Guess what? The best part of this satisfying meal is... It only cost me RM45~!! Woot!
So if you're in Kota Bharu & feel like having some nice Italian/Spanish meal, you could give Joe & Pepper a try.

红酒=Shandy?

突然想到今天的一个xx...
起始:咖啡店里有卖新年送礼的小包装2小瓶装250ml 红酒——RM25。这不搞搞震不爽的aunty 如往常地看来看去,然后看到那红酒...
问:小姐,这什么酒来的?黄酒?
答:这是红酒。
问:煮菜那种酒?
答:不是,是葡萄酒,红酒。
问:印度人喜欢喝到醉醉那种酒?
答:不是,是人家吃西餐一起喝的红酒。
aunty 继而打开包装看瓶子...
问:这个不是made in China的吧?
答:不是,是澳洲酒。
问:(终于看到她想看的字体)这包装的地址写的是Klang啊,你骗人。
答:aunty,如果直接在澳洲包装再进口,就不止这价钱啦。这是澳洲红酒,在本地包装。
问:这13.5% ,会醉人的咧~
答:...
问:这RM25那么贵,可以算便宜一点吗?
答:这老板订的价,无法算便宜了。而且外面你这种包装也是最低RM20...
问:可是我之前买一箱酒,还更便宜咧.... 那一箱Carlsberg... 欸,不是,是Shandy,一大箱也很便宜~
答:....(心里OS翻白眼,直接不想理人,转身服务其他客人
不死心的aunty来付茶钱时继续问:这个没得testing的咩?
答:aunty,这才小小支,没得testing的啦。
问:没得testing,怎么知道好喝?
答:aunty,我们自己肯定有喝过,好喝才敢卖啦。
问:你骗人,都没得testing 你怎么喝过。不能testing肯定就不好喝啦...
答:aunty,我直接买回家自己喝了啦,还在这里test咩?
问:我test了好喝,立刻就跟你买啦~

此刻真的选择无语地忽略,继续服务其他被aunty耽误的客人...
1. tmd,我这红酒才赚你那几块钱,我也没comission,我不需要讨好你这种整天只想贪小便宜的人好吗?
2. 那红酒来跟煮菜的黄酒和Shandy 比? aunty,我建议你把钱省下去买Shandy 吧...
