Fullhouse






Hey all,

Yesterday night after class, I ate dinner with Kenny at this place called Fullhouse. It didn't really have most of the foods that I normally eat... But I just thought I should really jump out from my shell and try something new.

Kenny seemed to know a lot of the ingredients that they put in the dishes so he explained some of them to me.

The only one that seemed appealing to me so far (holy shit, they don't have TUNA you know!) was the Pan Dory fish with lemon grass sauce.

In the picture, it didn't seem that appetizing.. And lemon grass sauce....? Never was a fan of that for a sauce.. Kenny reminded me that it's 'serai' in Malay (i'm getting a bit rusty in my mother tongue)

First, his soup arrived and then our drinks came, mine was banana milk bubble tea and his was jejue tea...? Sorry i forgot the name of the tea he ordered. There were dates inside, I'm sure my grandparents and my Mom would like it.

Then came my Dory. I waited for Kenny's smoked salmon sandwich before devouring the Dory in front of me, although he insisted for me to eat first.

When i took the first bite of the vegetables on my plate, it had a very interesting taste, (different than caesar salad of course) a nice change from western salads I normally eat. This ones got an Asian feel to it.

I couldn't figure out what was in it because the ingredients were not ones i recognized (Note to self, I have to try to eat something outside of my comfort zone now and then), so it was a toughy.

The Dory was a bit heavy on the oil but when eaten together with the mashed potatoes (I love mashed potatoes!!) and the vegetables, it was a good pairing with the lemon grass sauce!

Can't really say much but I really enjoyed the dish, it was something new to me. I'm really hoping to expand more on my food knowledge so this was good for me.

Thanks Kenny!!!! :)

Hope the pictures are clear enough for ya. Take care!
