TGI Fridays @ Paradigm Mall

TGI Fridays!!! In here, it's always Friday. I think this is most people wish as well huh! Anyway, I went here for dinner last Wednesday after buying some books in Popular Bookstore using my BRIM voucher which is going to expire at the end of this month. Was deciding to eat this or Sakae Sushi. Since my bro-in-law has this Pinch of Salt card which entitled him to a RM30 birthday voucher, we decided to eat this instead. For your information, this is my first time eating TGI Fridays. I know this is so outdated right. Lol. There were a few restaurants which I think that most people have tried before which I never try before. One is TGI Fridays and the other two are Plan B and Chili's. 

So, this is the interior of TGI Fridays in Paradigm Mall.

Tadaa...their menu!! (*Obviously...Haha)

Cajun Shrimp & Chicken Pasta (RM32.90)
Rating: 3.5/5

Cajun Shrimp & Chicken Pasta are seasoned and sauteed with green and red bell peppers, then tossed with fettuccine and creamy Cajun Alfredo sauce and finally topped with freshly shaved Parmesan Cheese and green onions. I think this combination was perfect. Usually, I do not really like to eat too creamy or too cheesy food but I am okay with this. In other word to say, yes, it is quite nice lah!!

Here you go, another closer look of it.

Chicken Fingers (RM25.90) 
Rating: 3.5/5

Chicken Fingers is actually a golden fried hand-battered chicken tenders. It is served with crispy fries and honey mustard dressing for dipping. The chicken itself is not very tasty but when you dip it in the honey mustard dressing then the taste is okay. This sweet and sour sauce is quite appetizing as well.

Tennessee Burger (RM29.90) 
Rating 3.5/5

Their Tennesse Burger on the other hand is glazed with Tennessee sauce and stacked with two strips of crispy beef bacon and Monterey Jack cheese on a toasted bun accompanied with shredded lettuce, tomato, pickle slices, onion and served with crispy fries and a side of Tennesse sauce. I pretty like their Tennesse sauce. In fact, we requested for another plate of this sauce. I ate my Chicken Fingers with this sauce as well and my sister actually mixed her pasta with this sauce as well. Lol. Btw, I cannot really give a very high rating for this dish. This is because I didn't try their burger as I cannot eat beef. But, if only the sauce itself then I can maybe give a higher rating.

Just another close up shot of the Tennesse Burger.

Cielo Dolci

So, what is gelato?? Gelato is actually the Italian word for ice cream but in English it generally refers to varieties of ice cream made in a traditional Italian style. Cielo Dolci, pronounced as “ceh-lo dol-chee”, means heaven’s dessert, in Italian and it specialize in Italian Frozen Desserts (gelato). It is located at the lower ground floor of Paradigm Mall. Basically, they have 8 to 9 permanent flavours (vanilla beans, salted caramel, coconut, cielo hazelnut, belgian chocolate, cielo pistachio, peanut butter, mango sorbetto, durian) and 2 to 4 seasonal flavours. So far, I have tried quite a number of flavours and I will strongly recommend you to try their hazelnut flavour, durian flavour, macadamia flavour and butterscotch flavour. I think vanilla and coconut quite nice as well. I would use three words to describe their gelato. That is smooth, cheap and delicious. For your information, their ingredients are all natural and there are no artificial flavouring, colouring and preservatives. That's why I said the price are reasonable and it definitely worth a try in term of the taste.

Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul

Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul was established since 1936 and was founded by Mr. Tan Teik Fuang. They specialize in providing the best chendul in Malaysia. However, the first time I ate this chendul, I don't think it was really nice because it was really too little chendul although the taste was not bad. Since, it was my first time, it give me a bad impression. After months, my brother "dapao" it and that was my second try. This time my brother requested for extra chendul and that guy really give him a lot. Then, I tasted it and I'm like... Wow!! This is so much different from the first time I ate and is so delicious. I will say this is one of the best chendul I ever eat and it worth a try. And... I went again today (hehe). The one I ate was actually in Paradigm Mall which is the franchise and the shop is very small where it always full with people. Hence, they are shifting to a bigger shop near Delifrance which is going to open in May. Anyway, don't get me wrong, they are still located at the LG floor of Paradigm Mall. By the way, the original one was actually at Lebuh Keng Kwee in Penang and for your information, they do serves other special Penangites desserts and snacks as well like asam laksa (aromatic noodle in tangy fish gravy topped with shredded fish, pineapple, onion), penang curry (yellow egg noddles/ mee hoon/ chee chong fun with spicy curry soup, chili sambal and coconut milk), teochew rojak (sliced fresh fruits mixed with tasty fermented shrimp paste topped with roasted peanuts and sprinkled with sesame seeds) and Teochew fried (dim sum made up of rice flour deep fried with dried shrimp and peanuts).
