Food, drink @ Tom’s

Swung by Tom Dick & Harry’s (7710-2122) in TTDI recently. Food blogger chick Sue Lynn was checkin out some of the menu items, so i joined her.

We also went thru a few cocktails. My friend Sarah orders the Mudslide Martini to start. It’s different from what we’re used to, ie TGI Friday’s ice-cream filled one, but its ok.

The girls went thru quite a few cocktails!

Mudslide

Hmm, not sure if this was the White Russian or Mudslide

First on d munchy list – Pigs in Blanket. Their version uses small sausages. Pretty ok. The mustard rocks.

Other cocktails sampled – Hopscotch Martini – one for those who like their drinks lollipop-like, Mojito – a favourite anytime, Vodkachino – good as a dessert.

I also had the Long Island. Unfortunately, the bar uses locally-made cheap liquor, which i find quite shocking, considering its priced as premium. I’m not sure if their house-pouring liquors are also local moonshine.

My lovely 'double-date'. Haha

Pork spread

Meeeat!

The Pork Platter (above) is pretty decent, tho the slices are kinda thin.

Prices are above average. The bar opened early this month, with happy hours from 4-8.

Remember d movie Alien, when d baby alien bursts outta d dude's stomach? Flashback. Pork knuckles.

Charlie & the lok-lok factory

Like flies to shit

Like flies to shit

I think lok-lok was created by God especially for drinkers. U can have a hot, meaty snack, and u dont even need to sit coz its a real quickie. Good ol’ meals-on-wheels. Gives u more time for other more important stuff, like drinking.

There’s no sitting around n waiting for your food and like, accidentally sobering up.

It’s also great for happy hours, coz HH sessions normally start at 6, and end maybe at 10 or 12. Which means ur usually starving at some point. And the heaven-sent lok-lok dude is ready for u. A quick snack n back to drinks. Or an easy dinner then balik. Also a spot to socialize n make friends with alcos.

Hell, there’s also a “I Love Lok Lok!” group on Facebook. Haha

My fave - baby octopus. Da shit

My regular order - baby octopus. Crunchy lil fuckers

In KL, The Fat One is currently da main man. Fatso has about 40 trucks so far. And loads of items. The addition of d BBQ grill and a deep-fryer has really upped the standards. U gots to try the grilled bacon, grilled lamb kebab, & the deep-fried soft shell crab in flour & chili batter. Fuuck. Dats da shit right there.

There’s a lot more variety than disgusting fishballs, dats for sure.

My regular lok-lok (aka dip-dip) dude is Charlie, who parks near Sid’s Pub TTDI.

Charlie is a recovering forest rapist – a logger in Sabah. Now he’s left all that behind him n is repaying society by handling a truck for Fat One, and earns a flat rate, with a lil commission. He starts set-up, etc in the afternoon at the central factory/kitchen and then goes out, closing the stand at about 1am or later, then heads back to clean shit up.

Me n charlie n ma ride

Come to think of it u can even have the van parked at your place for a house party. Haha! Catering the whole truck costs $800. Charlie’s your man – 016 908-8560.

The chili wings showdown!

Kenny had this bright idea to have Larry’s extra spicy buffalo wings. He says “One plate of the hottest spicy chicken wings, 4 guys, no water. Last man standing wins.”

I know of Last Man Standing when it comes to booze, but food? Watever, as long as there’s booze there. As well as a chance for bragging rights.

So i was one of ’em. The others were KY and Larry, the owner of Frontera Bar & Grill at Jaya One, PJ.

We start well, with straight shots from a beautiful bottle, the Reserva del Senor, a 100% agave of course. Light-tasting and pretty  smooth. This baby is aged 12 months in oak barrels.

The Senor

Then some food comes out. My fave was the excellent chili cheese burger – a juicy patty topped with chili.

Chili + cheese

Also had burritos and enchiladas

After the great regular fun stuff, it was time for business. There were two baskets of wings – medium spicy and Killer.

Killers

Killers

We go for the regular first, at the same time. The last guy to touch a drink wins. It’s reasonably spicy, and tastes just right for authentic buffalo wings. Except Kenny, none of us need a drink.

Then it was time for Killer! Again, start eating at the same time, and gotta eat d whole thing. Halfway thru, there’re tears all round. We try hard to make each other drink water. Lots of resistance.

Kenny’s d first to crack. Probably lasted three minutes. Then Larry goes down in flames. So it’s me n KY. We hold out for at least five minutes, so become joint-champs.

The Killer wings are perfect for those who’d like an extra kick in their snack – makes u drink more. KY, who’s had these wings in d States, says they’re d real thing.

All in all, a great meal, and Larry the gracious host over-fed us.

.

Everything’s fine up to dis point.

Then, some smart-ass (cant remember which one of us), decides to have a round of play-offs – to determine the real winner! Haha!

Aaaand in the red cornerrr, weighin in at 2 grams, the hottest, sexiest, kick-ass, fiery, volcanic hell on earth, Habbbanyyeeerrrrooooo!!!!!

Aaaand, in the red cornerrr, from Mexico, weighin in at 8 grams, the hottest, sexiest, kick-ass, fiery, ass-burnin, satan-on-a-plate volcanic helllll on earthhhhh......., Habbbanyyyyeeerrrro!!!!!

So out comes d fuckin fourth hottest chili (formerly number one) on d planet, the goddam volcano in a palm, grenade in your ass, habanero, which i experienced before, and swore “never again!” I attempted to back-out, but failed.

Pride took over.

The catalyst and inspiration for d play-offs

So one habanero is sliced into 4 – one slice each.We ‘cheers’, and then voluntarily put a slice of hell into our mouths.

Chili oso can cheers

Chili oso can "cheers!"

Niga it got messy. Real messy.

After a few seconds, we all freaked. Larry lost it and almost immediately stuffed some cake icing into his face. One down!

Kenny’s head ignited. I had to leave d table n walk around. Penang-fella KY was also on fire, but played it cool.

The other customers probably thought we had just snorted some cheap E. It was insane! All sorts of noises and grunts and heavy-breathing and intense panting. Anyone of the three of us could have easily lost it.

Sudah mariiii...

Sudah mariiii...

I pass an iced-water to Kenny. He grabs it, then puts it down. Damn.

Then the situation gets fluid. We’re all over the restaurant. And it goes downhill pretty quick. KY cant hold it in…

.. so he doanted his meal to d sink gods

.. so he donates his meal to d sewer gods. Two down.

Shine on...

Kenny starts to look real bad...

... then hurled

... then hurls

... then Larry struggled to keep his food down. "No pictures!"

... then Larry gags, but manages to keep his food down. "No pictures!"

God, what a mess. Dont fuck with da habanero, muchachos.

Which means only one thing – who da man  now, bitches! Haha. Pussssiiiies.

Penang, Sarawak and USA got whooped by KL.

Winner of a Senor!

Winner of a Senor!

It wasn’t easy, lemme tell u dat straight-up. Later after soaping my hands n some cold water, i touched my eye. Wat a fuck-up. It cooked! Made my cry like a baby.

One eye down

Tryin to remove an eye aint easy

A few minutes later i ‘realize’ i had also taken a piss! Goddam! So it starts to fry under my pants too!

Man, wat a night. A real blast.
