Dinner at Las Carretas

in family, food, outing, review

Initially we planned to celebrate at Cameron. Yelakan sejuk-sejuk [boleh peluk-peluk hihi -->gelak gatal] banyak pokok bolehla berhindustani berlakon petik teh ke bagai  tapi disebabkan musim hujan adalah batal.

So dinner ajela kot. Teringin nak makan dekat Ciao tapi macam belum bukak lagi, he suggested D’Italiane Kitchen. Hmm tak naklah, although I love that place tapi nakla something different. Tu macam hari biasa je.

Wahh hari biasa kata kau? Tak sedar hari biasa makan belacan tetibe mengaku hari biasa makan pasta. Cih!

Ok. focusssssssssssssssssssss.

After surfing, I decided to go for Las Carrestas.

Muka teruja + cas cun

Lagi pun Ejay and Kak Jas pernah kata situ setap. Jadi mahu cubalah.

Dia ada branch dekat Ampang, Taipan, Damansara but we chose to go to the USJ’s branch pasal that was the closest.

Disebabkan ada orang tu cuti [walaupun dia cuba tipu aku cakap kerja, nasib baik aku tak gosok sluar dia lagi] konon ingin beramas mesra, so adalah gerak awal supaya dapat parking. Ye kan Taipan tu parkingnya adalah macam taik sikit.

Agak senang juga nak cari tempatnya, tak sesat pun [bangga haha].

In case you want to order nachos, you might want to think twice sebab dia bagi complimentary nachos while you wait for your food. Tapi ni simple nachosla, takdela yang bersalut cheese dan 35 jenis dip bagai.

But still, bagusla jugak kan, dahla sejuk perut lapar menggila.

Krup krap

Kelaparan punya pasal sekelip mata dah habis hehe

Sambil makan, sambil menikmati pemandangan. The resturant is not big yet adela rasa macam dekat Mexico. Haha statement poyo, macammmmmmmmmmmmmlah pernah pergi Mexico hahaaaa bongok.

The deco

It was quite cozy, we were being seated dekat tingkat bawah. Agaknya tingkat atas adalah smoking area. I don’t knowlah maybe.

Oh tapi yang paling chenta, the serve virgin margarita. Sukaaaaaaaaaa siap ada garam bagai dekat glass dia, just like the real margarita. Dekat nachosnachos rupa dia je macam garam tapi manis.

Not too long after that, came our appetiser – poppers. Nama keji – macam nama benda yang jual dekat KFC tu, rupa pon agak tak selera.

Tapiiii adalah setap dan pedass!

Rupa sebenar

It’s actually deep fried Jalapeno yang disumbat dengan 4 types of quesos. Apa jadah quesos tu pon aku tataulah tapi rasa dia setapla, macam cheesy sikit. But the jalapeno adalah pedas. I likeeeee.

Lepas tu getik suruh waitress ambikkan gambar. Nak gakk feeling jiwang.

malu-malu tapi mahu. WTF?

malu-malu tapi mahu. WTF?

Sebenarnya aku tengah mengunyah makanan masa waitress ni ambik gambar tapi cuba gak nak senyum, tu yang muka jadi gemuk tu. Best tak alasan aku yang berbau defensive ni hehe.

Not too long after, my food came.

I ordered beef backribs. Mula-mula ingat nak order buritos [or as I always imagine the spelling in my head - burit-ohhhs] tapi Kak Jas kot dulu cakap ribs dia setap so I pon naklah cuba.

Sour cream yang banyak

Sangatlaaaaa. Setapppppppppppppppp

Despite the gravy yang sedikit manis, I didn’t really mind coz it went well with the daging. Dan daging dia ohh sangatla empuk okkk. Sangat tak menyesal order. I finished it tanpa tinggal walau sebarang daging.

Goodbye Tony Roma’s.

Driver pulak ordered Estofado De Cordero. Nak tergeliat lidah menyebutnya. According to the manu, it’s original South American lamb stew served with jalapenos & mexican rice.

I tasted it, was not bad walaupun rasa macam nasi briyani yang ayah aku selalu masak. The lamb was tender, suka.

Sebab kitorang suka pedas, he ordered fiery habaneros to go with his dish. Tapi bila dah sampai, dia rasa sikit tak suka pulak.

This is how it looks like

I tasted it and yes it’s bloody fiery. Menggelupur minum air.

Even after I finished my dish, adalah boleh makan lagi dan berasa gatal nak order dessert. I had my eyes [or tekak is more like it] on the fried ice cream tapiiiiiiiii tahan chicss tahann cuba slow-slow pandang ke arah perut kau, lagi pun sejuk-sejuk ni gila apa nak makan ice cream?

So after we finished our drinks, we headed home [tapi tiba-tiba ada orang ajak pergi urut. Sweet tapi apakah you ini?]

In case you want to find out more about the menu or the mapfor each outlets, do check their website.

Would I go back? Definitely yes.

Tempat yg kecil lagi tersorok di tengah-tengah kedai namun disebabkan makanan yg meletops and pure original mexican food (tak macam KFC) menyebabkan nak pegi lagikan..
Nachos bongok dia yg free tu pon sedap. Yum!

Wah pergi jugak akherrrrnyaaa~~

Lupa nk ckp, selain Steak dia yg sungguh tiada tandingan, dia nye Raw Oyster yg disiram Lemon dan secubit Tabasco adalah KETAGIH.

Tapi utk org yg suka Raw Oyster je la kan.

Kitorang slalu naik 2nd floor, rasa luas sket n deco mmg Mexican habis.

USJ Taipan LC adalah dekat gile dgn rumah bapak mertuaku, seberang jalan bergolek(<–over?) pun sampai.
