I think I have found my food soul mate.. ;)
Steph’s favorite fifty foods
1. favourite main entree:
A good medium rare steak, preferably a porterhouse or fillet mignon with a slightly creamy sauce. QBA at Westin has good quality meat that I like. I’ll order steak or ribs at most places and so far the best ribs I had were in Sydney.
2. favourite salad:
Ceasar salad, drenched in dressing.. or a Japanese Potato Salad. I don’t eat much salads because I don’t like the uncooked leafy vege taste.
3. Favourite soup:
Mushroom soup made the traditional way. Hate it when you order a cream of mushroom and they serve you Campbell’s with a few sliced mushrooms thrown in claiming it is ‘home made’.
4. favourite appetizer:
Shrimp cocktail, prawn salad, whatever you call it here. An oyster or two with Tabasco sauce at some places are nice if they are fresh. I also like all the cute little unpronounceable things at French/Latin places.
5. favourite dessert:
Frozen mud pie. Chocolate anything. Tiramisu at Alexis!.
6. favourite fruit:
I love indian mangoes. And oranges. And kiwis. And durians. And mangosteens. And lychees.. and most fruits with the exception of langsat and dragonfruit.
7. favourite vegetable:
For someone who doesn’t eat much veggies, I really like broccoli. Cooked, or course, with garlic and mince. Do potatoes count? I practically live on them.
8. favourite sashimi:
Sake (salmon).. I won’t eat anything else. Bad tuna experience.
9. favourite sushi roll:
I’m fussy. I have never come across a roll I eat whole. If I order California, I take out the avocadoes and the cucumber (I know it totally defeats the purpose) My perfect roll would have raw salmon, japanese mayo, ebikko with a tiny bit of cucumber thrown in and smothered in wasabi.
10. favourite soda beverage:
100 Plus original flavour.. yum.
11. favourite non-alcoholic beverage:
Ice lemon tea, ice peach tea, ice apple tea
12. favourite alcoholic shot:
vodka, with lemon and sugar
13. favourite alcoholic drink:
It’s been the Caipirinha for the past two months
14. favourite cake:
Double chocolate
15. favourite pie:
Shepards’ pie with loads of filling and mash

17. favourite milkshake:
Friday’s Oreo shake, and McD’s double thick vanilla shake
18. favourite cut of beef:
Porterhouse, fillet mignon and short loin
19. favourite cuisine:
I’ll just take the easy way out.. global cuisine. It’s impossible to pick just one. There are so many elements that I like of specific cuisines.. ie. The use of lemongrass and basil in Thai! ok I love Thai food. And Jap. And Mexican.. and how good is Indian banana leaf rice?! I rest my case. I’m a part time pigger-outer.
20. favourite part of chicken: (leg, wing, thigh, breast)
thighs.. yum.
21. favourite fried food:
Shredded crabstick for snacking on. And a million other local favourites like fried banana fritters…
22. favourite cookie:
Butter cookies! With loads of butter.
23. favourite indian curry:
OMG how is it possible to choose just one!? Vindaloo. Heh.
24. favourite gum:
Old fashioned Wrigleys Spearmint.. I still remember that old TV commercial circa 1980s where the dude eats satay with onions and the girl offers him a gum after smelling his breath. Cracks me up.
25. favourite candy:
Gummy bears. Starburst ones filled with that gel thing. Can’t get it here unfortunately but thanks Deb, I reaaaaally enjoyed the pack you sent.
26. favourite crepe:
Must be salty. And preferably with mayo.
27. favourite sandwich:
Turkey ham and cheese, toasted on wholemeal bread. I also like it with a slice of pineapple ala Oliver’s turkey toastie.
28. favourite pizza:
pepperoni with extra pepperoni and loads of cheese. Or Sarpino’s New York Deli pizza with all kinds of meaty stuff on it. Even Domino’s thin crust pepperoni works.
29. favourite mexican dish:
Enchiladas and fajitas. Chili’s mushroom jack fajita with truckloads of sour cream and guacamole rocks my socks.. nyah.
30. favourite vietnamese dish:
Beef noodles that you find in stalls around Vietnam. Alexis does a nice version although not quite authentic. Spring rolls, of course, with the special chilli dip.
31. favourite korean dish:
Bulgogi! And beef with that thick chili paste. Not many good Korean food places in KL though.. I haven’t found one I really like.
32. favourite chinese dish:
Tough. I’m gonna stick to my heritage and declare rice wine mee sua my favourite, although dim sum and tai chau stuff comes a close second.

Haven’t tried much of this cuisine actually. No, it’s not the baloot.
