Dining Out: Simple Dishes

VOL: 2

Simple design, homey feeling. Who says we need to dine at posh restaurants in order to get good food?Jerald's Dining will prove my point. This restaurant is not over decorated with modern or cool interior design. It is just a small house that the yard or more like car porch that has been turned into a little dining restaurant. Jerald serves both oriental and also western dishes. The menu is simple nice and easy to read.

The whole restaurant is operated by its family members, two sons, a daughter and the parents. The restaurant itself is not very big just a few tables and it gets packed very easily. If you guys think that it comes with air-conditioner, well you can wash that thought away as the restaurant operates with just one ceiling fan. So its pretty humid, if it so happens that if that day is really hot and humid. You can guess that what is it going be like there.

Well, after checking the menu out I decided to settle for the same dish as my sister, the chicken chop with mushroom sauce. My dad and Ah Tek decided to settle for local dishes, Hokkien Noodles. As for the star of the night, my mother because it was her birthday settled for the Kung Pow Chicken with rice. I decided I wanted salad too so I went for the egg salad.

My sister recommended me the milkshake which I settled for Strawberry.

Strawberry milkshake

The food took quite a long time to come and usually salad is suppose to come first as it is the starter my salad came last! So service wise it was not that great at all.

The Chicken Chop was superb, the meat was soft and tender and the sauce was superb. The salad that came with it was good and the french fries goes really well with the mushroom sauce. My strawberry milkshake was just as good as my chicken chop. The Hokkien Noodles looks good but as for the taste I have no idea but from my dad's information it was good also.

The Kung Pow chicken came quite late. It was quite good but my mum grumbled that there were no vegetables that comes with it only meat with lots of dry chillies. The Egg Salad that I ordered was good too, the portion to me was a bit small.

THE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I mentioned earlier on that we were celebrating my mum's birthday at Jerald's so here is the coverage on what we have done on that day.

I went for a haircut that day after my tuition class with Sung. But sadly the usual saloon that we visit was full and we had to try out another saloon in BDC called First Saloon. Cutting a hair at D' Saloon cost us around RM 16.00 but that day it cost us RM 25.00 per person because of the hair wash which took a long time, they lady gave us quite a massage, I must say. after that it was off to do some more things.

My hair looks way better than the way D' Saloon's staff styled for me.
Worth every penny

Later around 6 in the evening I had to go over to Secret Recipe to collect the cake I had specially ordered for my mother. I went for the espresso cheese cake. Which was just as good as the other cheese cakes served by secret recipe. It was not really sweet which was just right for my mother. We went for dinner around 7pm and when I brought the cake along with me the other customers keep staring at me again a bunch of kepo-gongs and kepo - mas.

Then we sat down and oreded our food. After the satisfying meal I went and took the cake out, mum was quite shy. She keep asking us not to sing... well in the we didn't sing either, the next thing she said, "put one candle only just one". LOL I guess mum was just too shy to let people know her age. Do not worry mumsy your age is safe with us *winks*

Happy Birthday mum, We love you!
