Mouth watering German cuisines!~

~*~*Mouth watering German cuisines!*~*~

Our marketing team kicked off Q1 2007 by doing another great makan session.

Dolly suggested TJ Haus as she recently went there and the food was fantastic. I've heard too from my ex-boss that this place offers a fabulous spread of German food at value for money prices.

Tuck-away in a hidden part of SS14, stands this fantastic eatery on the 1st floor along a row of shoplots. It's actually on the highway opposite McDonald's SS15 for those of you who wanna know.

I wouldn't have known if it wasnt for the word of mouth recommendation.


My first thought was, "oooh..i'm sooOoo gonna try the pork knuckles and the german sausages".


But to my disappointment, i couldn't find these on the menu. I was pretty puzzled, seeing that it's a german restaurant and all.

Asked the waitress and she recommended some other specialty of theirs as she said they do not serve pork here. Was a tad bit disappointed, but was kinda excited to try something new as well.


Now, allow me to introduce these yummilicious goodies to you..

Pumpkin cream soup garnished with whipped cream and roasted pumpkin seeds. This is by far one of the best pumpkin soups i've tasted in Malaysia. (The best i had so far is in good ol Sydney).

And...the best thing is: it's damn value for money. RM6.50 only.

Pfahlmuscheln - fresh herbs and garlic gratinated mussels. MmmMmm..

Madagaskar Ribeye Steak - Beef steak with green pepper sauce. It's served with roasted bacon potatoes (or spuds as i normally call it) and some season veges.

Mmm..it's really damn juicy and tender. Elvin had the honour of cutting it for us.

For fish lovers, you can try their signature Grilled Sole.
It's grilled with herbs butter and served with spinach and parsley potatoes. This is one is what i call a balanced meal. I was pretty surprise to find out that it's served atop a huge serving a spaghetti as well.

Calamari A la Mediterrance - fried spice calamari served with spinach potatoes.

This dish kinda reminds me of sambal ala sotong. The rest liked it, i didn't.

Crispy Duck (german style) . Oh my goodness, i thought i was in heaven when the duck skin melted in my mouth.
Mmmmm.. The duck is grilled to perfection in orange sauce. It's served with red cabbage (we initially thought it was beet root) and boiled potatoes.

This is my favourite dish..and it's DA BOMB! You really absolutely positively have to try this, especially if you're a duck lover!

And you know how much this cost? Merely RM19.50

Gosh, the pair of duck breasts in Flower Drum (Melbourne) costs like AUD40. That was way way larger a damage.

So i figure i can have this crispy duck very often since it's so damn good and value for money.

This is their signature lamb shank. Needless to say, it's also damn good. Especially bcoz the fatty bits goes well with the lean meat. It comes with gravy but it's already very delicious on its own. I love the mashed too!

We ordered this seafood platter as we were initially very famish. By the time this arrived, i was too full to even try. Was kinda addicted to the duck and duck only. hehehe..

(also, i was saving my stomach for dessert. Coz i heard the cheesecake here is to die for).

What i've been waiting for...

i love the strawberry jelly layer on the cheese. I think this cheesecake is not made from the ordinary philadelphia cream cheese that you get from the market. It's so smooth and light, it taste like it's made from mascarpone cheese. Also, the biscuit base was reallllllllllllllly yummy.

Banana fritter served with ice cream and fruits - a hot and cold number.

Bavarian vanilla creme custard served with whipped serve and fruits. Dolly likes this one.

Look at how much duck Kitson (Dolly's hubby) whacked. Gotta admit that the 5 of us are gluttons la! LOL

This is whatever's left of the lamb shank. My dogs would love the boner man!

While i was like busy taking picture of every single dish, this guy from the next table spoke to me.

Guy: Hey, why are you so busy taking pictures of the food? Like you are a fetish or something?

Me: oh..i like to blog about good food.

Before i could finish, all my colleagues chimed in and told the guy that i'm a serial blogger.
*blush*

Guy: Oh, thank you so much for giving us good reviews.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

So that got us wondering if he's the owner of TJ Haus.
And i was pretty curious as to what TJ stands for.

Elvin: Tom and Jerry?
Me: hah? what? Might as well as him if he's the owner la. Then can find out what TJ stands for.

Went to speak to the guy to suss it out.

Yep, he's the owner. And he is Jeffrey. His chef/partner (a German of cos) is Thomas.

Ahh..so desu ne. Thomas and Jeffrey. Elvin, you're very very close dude!

Jeff then invited me inside (we were seated by the veranda facing outdoor) to introduce me to Thomas.

Thomas and Jeffrey. Thanks for a wonderful evening guys! =)

Was so full from dinner that upon arriving the office, Elvin and i went for jalan-jalan at the newly opened pasar malam at Subang Uptown. It's open daily from 10pm - 3am.

Elvin told me that over 80 stalls have signed up. It has only been in operation for less than a week.

As usual, you'll find vendors selling bags, clothings, food, etc

We found one interesting stall selling fishes..

arent the goldfishes cute? So fat and round. RM6 a pair.

these gapi fishes are selling at RM4 a pair.

I didnt buy much. Bought some cutesy handphone tassles for my sis, a hairband and 2 pairs of earrings.
