Finally after all those long weeks of planning and juggling 15 balls in the air, the circus known as The Annual Foodsters' Awards came to town. Well it came to Pannaz in a cosy little corner of Damansara Perdana but in our world of FriedChillies it's a big deal indeed, worthy of a Big Top, fanfare and dancing elephants on tightropes. It's our first awards of many to come to mainly celebrate the very best of Malaysian street food and mom and pop eateries. Before we get down to the nitty gritty of the night, we like to give a shout out to our generous sponsors, Maggi for all the lovely hampers and goodie bag stuff and HTC for their sleek sexy phones we used to GPS the winners. Also to Chef Anas of Pannaz who shifted out 80 main courses promptly and throwing in the canapes for free. A FriedChillies salute to all of you.

On the night all the guests got one of these little…  Continue reading »

Events

Avanti at Sunway Lagoon is participating in the annual Gourmania held from the 1st to 30th November. Start your meal with the crispy soft shell crab with pear endive. It's done fried like tempura with the salad that tastes a little like Waldorf. Magtagliati pasta, are thick ribbons slightly cooked with braised venison. Before the main meal, cleanse your palates with an espresso sorbet and coconut candy.

Our pick for the mains is the pan-fried veal served like a Swiss roll hugging cream cheese with sundried tomatoes. This is tender and rich. For dessert, there is bitter-sweet chocolate mousse cake and praline ice cream. The Gourmania menu is priced at RM88++ without wine and RM138++ with wine. There's also a second menu for about RM108++ without wine and RM188++ with wine. This menu boasts scallops or baby lobster starters and a tenderloin or dover sole main.  Continue reading »
