Friday Book Club @ Kelab Darul Ehsan, Ampang


3rd book- great proverbs and its origin
with Teh Tarik & Water Melon Juice

Starting the new year, MM and me revived our book club, a defunct book club presided by two Prez now  known as Friday Book Club or FBC. The idea is to share one of our book each week and ponder upon its content and so forth if the book worth sharing. And of course, the books that we selected were worth sharing and some were soul soothing. The FBC meeting were held at our mutual Club, the Darul Ehsan Club (Kelab Darul Ehsan- famously known as KDE). Its a golfing club with sports facilities situated at Taman TAR, Ampang Jaya, in the state of Selangor.

Chicken wings
And of course, discussing the selected book is not complete without some yummy plate of delicious chef prepared dishes to accompany our learned mind. Somehow, without fail, we will order the Chicken wings accompanied by lightly fried fries (nearly oil free), and it came unsalted. The chicken wings were always nicely deep fried and the flesh is moist but not "bleedy" which is definitely a 'no' 'no' for me. On one occasion we ordered spinach soup with silver fish without really knowing what it was except it is spinach soup. Much to our surprise the silver fish is your ordinary anchovies! The spinach soup with silver fish became our favourite soup at the moment since spinach is really one of my very favourite green veggies! I should compliment the chef for cooking it lightly and the spinach were still crunchy upon arriving at our table. And I hope it stay that way.

oxtail soup in clay bowl
MM's other favourite soup is the oxtail soup, which according to her were very delicious. Usually I just have a few spoonful of them. The soup were somehow sourish, but then may be that's the way oxtail soup should taste. The oxtail soup were served in a clay bowl which maintain the soup 'heat' longer.

Overall the food is well prepared at the Club. At the moment, my all time favourite is the Club sandwich besides the newly introduced Spinach soup with silver fish. The Club sandwich usually balances on 7 or 8 on Acepaizah's scale while the spinach soup sitting comfortably on 8. In any event my sis, Dr S "spinach soup with silver fish' tastes much better than KDE's. However, the Club Teh Tarik is among the best in the world as far as I am concern, standing proudly along with the one in De Palma Hotel, Ampang, but that's another entry for another post.
