Yummy Yum Yum
Hola!! Como está? (Hello, how are you?)
Welcome back my dear friend! It’s yummy time!
Although this is my third time in States, I seldom try new cuisine here. Therefore, I’m going to challenge myself by trying some Mexican foods nearby my hubby’s office this time. Despite Taco Bell, this is my first time dining in Mexican restaurant. Why I choose this restaurant? Firstly I impressed by its name, Cha Cha Cha, then by its foods.
Look…huge portion with low price! I’m gonna introduce these to you one by one. I ordered a sausage taco, it’s like the Chinese popiah but it is unwrap. You have to fold it and open your mouth as big as you can when you eat this because the meat drops out easily. Flautitas are similar to Chinese deep fried spring rolls. The wrapping skins were very crunchy and the ground chicken was very juicy indeed. Last but not least, it was my favorite one, nachos with shrimp salsa. Nachos were those snacks spreading around the plate. And salsa sauce was make of fresh tomatoes, onions and veges. Just dip the nachos with it and it tastes heavenly! Ahh…I’m a snack monster and I cry for this! Yummy~~
In addition, the waiter was very friendly, he said “Arigato” to us when we were about to leave, wakaka. Don’t blame me for ordering too little, I wish I could eat everything. No worries, there’s always tomorrow. Since Cha Cha Cha left me a great experience and I assure you, I will try more Mexican dishes soon.
Ok, darling, stop eating! This section is just ended. We are moving onto Malaysia cuisine.
Here we go, the one and only Malaysia restaurant in Portland. Sigh…this is the only place we can go when we are missing Malaysia, but their foods are tasty though (hmm, just don’t compare, we all know Malaysia got the best foods).
I really like this restaurant, nice decoration that give you a touch of Malaysia culture. We felt like eating in atap house. And also some posters that we all familiar with, like Langkawi, Kelantan and Sarawak, these are great destinations in Malaysia. Ohh, ya, and our buah-buahan tempatan (local fruits) poster. The only thing I dislike is the price! It costs too high. Ok, let’s guess how much does a roti canai cost?
USD 3.25, that’s mean RM 11 for this appetizer! We can get this at RM1 or even less than that in Malaysia. All right, now guess the price for Char Kuey Teow and hot pot Curry Fish Head.
Damn it! I was reluctant to smile. Char Kuey Teow costs USD 8.95 (RM30) and that bloody fish head costs USD 18.95 (RM 63). When we added up everything including tips, it was up to USD 38++. The foods are yummy but the price sucks! No choice, this restaurant is monopoly in Portland.
ARGH…I want to open another Malaysia restaurant also! Or maybe visit Mexican restaurant instead of this!
Coming up next:
What’s my Christmas present? How did I spend my Christmas Eve? Stay tuned to discover my white Christmas on this Sat (29/12).
