The Morning After (TTDI)

It's been quite some time since the last time i did a food review.. and this time i am not doing it coz the food is free.. i am doing it coz of a friend.. his name is Chef Nigel.. i got to know him not too long ago BUT i can see his passion for food..

Last week i finally have the chance to try his cooking and i can guarantee you that his cooking is awesome.. he graduated from Taylor's Uni at Sunway and he is one of the partners at Burger Camp back in Ipoh, Perak..

Recently he moved to KL and got a job with The Morning After.. yes yes, when i first heard it, it reminds me of 'the morning after' pill.. haha..

How do you describe The Morning After?

The Morning After is a place where you can chill, hang out, eat and have a good cup of joe. They serve breakfasts, sandwiches, pastas, burgers, desserts and etc..


The outlet which now i frequent the most is in TTDI, it's quite a nice comfy cosy place to chill

Below are some photos of the outlet

My current fav now

Eggs benedict; two poached eggs on english muffin, smoked salmon, baby spinach and hollandaise sauce

Roast chicken served with salad and mashed potatoes; special request (no cherry tomatoes)

Shoestring fries with truffle oil

Soft shell crab pasta with napolitan sauce and rocket salad

Wild mushroom soup with truffle oil, chunky oyster mushroom and croutons

Grilled salmon with apple and watercress salad, horseradish sauce, daikon and mashed potato

Perfectly grilled by Chef Nigel

Spicy aglio olio with shrimps & zucchini

Yes the food taste as good as it looks..

If you happen to pop by TMA, you can check with the floor staff if Chef Nigel is in.. for now he'll be in TTDI outlet for a month and then he'll be back to The Pinnacle

Aaaaand if you would want to know how Chef Nigel looks like, here's a photo of him in his work area

crazy crabs?

It has been awhile since i went for any food reviews.. i was never a fan for crabs.. well.. mainly coz it is too much hassle to eat the side-walking crabs..

Dinner was at 8pm and i arrived exactly on time!

Table was reserved under Tim Chew, as usual

Since CNY is around the corner, hence there was a 'lou sang' session :D

Salt baked.. yum yum.. this is my fav of all crabs.. as you can taste the freshness and sweetness of the meat..

Look at the gigantic claws

The chicken wings were yummy as well

And so was the lamb

Then came a pot of curry fish head

And fried vermicelli with clams

Dishes starting to fill up the round BIG table

More crabs! of course

The butter crabs were awesome BUT i had only 1 claw (it was hard to resist).. why? coz it goes straight right to my thigh! there goes an additional 30 mins to my workout at the gym..

And not to forget.. the ever so famous 'kang kung'

Had to pile the dishes up.. mind you.. there was only 5 of us..

Super BIG claw, eh?

Fried rice with lots of anchovies! my fav ❤ ❤ ❤

Lastly, the dessert.. local sorbet..

The bosses are SO generous.. kept feeding us.. but of course as usual we never forget to take photos of ourselves and together with our hosts

Okay, here are some sneak preview photos of our 'behind the scene'

*bloggers hard at work*

Before digging into the food, we have to snap a quick photo of it first :P

the hill, new revamped menu?

Yes, the Hill at damansara heights had revamped their menu.. there are new items popping up on their new menu and the MHB had a chance to try out their food once again!

The last time i was at the Hill was for a bloggers gathering with mimi.. so this time was my 2nd time.. to be honest, the Hill has an excellent ambiance for a chill out night with your friends.. the 1st floor is an open air dining area while the 2nd and 3rd floor are air conditioned..

Here are a few pictures i took of the Hill during my 1st visit at the open air area :-

And this is the 2nd floor :-

Let's start with the food pictures! as usual, our photographer, andy kho were hard at work taking these beautiful mouth watering food pictures for us :) thanks andy!

First up were the appetizers but before that, we started off the night with....

 Soft shell crab with wafu dressing- rm18

Review : i swear i could just finish this by myself! the crab was so well fried, so crunchy and the wafu dressing goes superb with the salad

Chili clams in venetian style chili wine broth, zucchini & tomatoes served with toasted baguette - rm28

Review : i am a clam/vongole lover.. these clams were so fresh, the broth is a little spicy and... *speechless* i could eat this all by myself too!

Nachos - rm25

Review : due to my religion, i can't eat beef.. but what the heck! i tried some and it's really yummy

Deep fried salted egg calamari served with salsa sauce - rm14

Review : this was so delicious that i only had 1 piece! everyone wanted a piece of it!

Our main courses

The Hill 'cheese fire roll' wrapped with soft shell crab, cucumber, unagi and topped with grilled cheese - rm32

Smoked duck in creamy tomato sauce - rm30

Review : the sauce is really creamy!

Fish and chips - rm25

The Hill signature pan fried salmon wrapped in special house sauce batter served with a side of sauteed spinach - rm38

Review : the salmon was gone in 60 seconds.. yes, it's true.. didn't have a chance to really savour it.. just got a tiny bite BUT it's good enough for me to say that... yes, it's delicious

The green monster - juicy lamb patty, fried onion rings with green goo (mint based) - rm28

Brontosaurus beef ribs with wedges - rm78

Review : you can't walk-in and order this as you gotta make reservation for it earlier

Aglio olio jumbo prawns tossed in extra virgin olive oil and chili flakes - rm48

Review : honestly, this was one of the best aglio olio i've tried.. the pasta was al dente, the sauce was just nice, a little spicy

Now, the desserts.. i'm NOT a dessert person BUT these desserts did make me crave for more!!

Chocolate brownie with chocolate fudge and a scoop of vanilla ice cream - rm13

Cheese cake with cherry brandy - rm13

Review : the cheese cake was so cheesy, creamy and smooth.. excellent! it's cake of the day so if you come on that lucky day, you might want to order this

Pavlova - rm13

'Pavlova is made by beating egg whites (and sometimes salt) to a very stiff consistency before folding in caster sugar, white vinegar, cornstarch, and sometimes vanilla essence, and slow-baking the mixture, similarly to meringue'

Review : dessert of the day.. the crust just melted in my mouth.. sweeeeeeeeeeeeet~ i could really finish this piece alone BUT as i took 2 bite of it, i felt guilty.. it was so utterly sinful AND i can't resist it!

Coconut panna cotta with cherry reduction - rm18

Banoffee (banana toffee) pie with fresh cream - rm13

French apple tart with vanilla ice cream - rm13

Here's mei sze with her french apple tart, all for herself
