Bucida Court continues, Yeob Kitchen

This entry was suppose to be publish before New Year. And as usual, I kept holding back writing, giving priority to laziness and all...;)

Eastern Rock F&B - Ayeob Kitchen Lot.No.8

I am suppose to finish my manuscript today, but ideas came short and I was lost in the middle of the coldness of this country. Yes, I am currently living in Iceland... :p .. Back to reality, I have been pinning to visit this stall for quite sometime..but haven't got the time yet. Busy as I am, I prefer to cook myself at my nook, a small place called KITCHEN. But as I am writing this, the image of that large fresh crab and the grilled potato came back haunting me...urrrghhh...

I visited this stall @ Bucida Court in December 2013. It was a raining and cold December, and hunger is always around the corner. Having set ourselves to a fine clean table, my eyes lurking around for the most busy stall. Simple - busy stall means good food. I saw this Ayeob Kitchen, the first stall Lot.8. They offer western fusion. Mmmhh, all males operator. Quite messy with the main man swaying hands from the beginning. I went to the counter. I was greet politely "Ye kak nak makan apa semua ada..spaghetti , nasi goreng..." ..Ok, you had me at hello...;)

           I decided to try spaghetti, my sparring partner had no appetite that evening so just one menu. The stall guy promotes me a dish, a special dish he said - Jacket Skin Grilled potato. Or some sort of that sound...I simply agreed.

                         The grilled potato came in no time. Just as the drinks reached our table.

I am the juicier one,..;) - carrot juice with milk and 100 PLUS for my sparring partner

It was really tempting looking at the grilled potato - cheese were melting and the smell of the potato skin makes me wonder, whether I want to share this with my sparring partner who doesn't bother to order anything, simply "Kita share je lah..."

Jacket Skin Grilled Potato - for 2

The potato was grilled to perfection inside out, it was soft and still hard at the same time. A dollop amount of fresh cream topped on the potato gives it a creamy flavour. The cook did tell me what was inside as filling but I forgot but it was full of flavor and healthy at the same time. I think they have this crabmeat inside. 

      As we admiring the look of the grilled potato, my aglio olio spaghetti arrived. Originally this dish go with soft shell crab but that day, they didn't manage to get a fresh soft shell crab so they replace it with the flower crab instead. 

Spaghetti Aglio Olio seafood with crab

A generous portion of the pasta, two flaming hot garlic bread flanking the pasta also, few prawns & green mussel. Isn't it tempting, the image on the right....yummeeeey!

       I love this dish. The only thing I think is quite missing is they don't season the green mussel well. It was quite bland...not sure why. I did went to talk to the cook, to compliment their dish as we make our way our of the foodcourt. When mentioned that their green mussel was under seasoned, the cook straight away nodded and agree with us. What a surprise...he knew it ...maybe he just having his own issue that evening. But thank you to the large crab and prawns and the garlic bread and the pasta. It was a fantastic dish. 

Generous portion of seafood

Large crab...it could be more prefect with soft shell crab as in the original menu

perfectly grilled garlic bread, the right portion of chilli flakes

Overall, I like this place, ...go try this place. Worth your penny and you get to enjoy good music too.

Live local band performance everyday

price wise - my dish spaghetti for RM18, jacket potato RM8. I can say it is affordable. Not on daily basis maybe, but if you wish to dine out on special occasion, rather than going to high-end restaurant serving the same dish, you may want to consider this stall.. They have facebook...www.facebook.com/ayeobkitchen. Their stall is the first one entrance to Bucida Court, Lot.8. Enjoy yourself...;)
