The verdict

Boleh

Jason gives Aspar Harry's Tender Town a solid verdict, with the Asiana Arena fried chicken the standout at 8.2 while the butter-sauce chicken needs more time. The Musang King brownie and Vietnamese rolls hold their own, but the RM13 cookie from Anadona disappoints at 5.7. Worth a visit while the MyFoodie Fest pop-up runs until 2nd June.

Highlights

  • Price: Vietnamese rolls RM5 each, brownie RM30, cookie RM13
  • Taste: Garlic sauce done right, thick and rich; habanero sauce more spicy than sweet
  • Ambiance: MyFoodie Fest pop-up at MyTOWN with live singing in the background
  • Other: Pop-up runs until 2nd June, created by Aspar Harry

Aspar Harry di mana? Aspar Harry tak datang pun. Tak datang, habis itu, Aspar tak Harry ada tak? Apa tu? Apa benda tu? Aspar yang tak berrambut? Tak ada. Saya hanya akan cuba satu kukit sehingga saya melihat ini, yang ini. Brownie Musang King, berapa harga itu? RM30. Mahana? Bumpui! Saya rasa kadang-kadang kita perlu cuba kedai yang mempunyai pelanggan. Hai! Asiana Arena Fried Chicken! Sweet! Agak, you think I'll give how much rating? For your fried chicken. It will be too good, overconfident ke? Ok la. If I can get one cookie from here, which one would it be? Nor me. It is our sea salt chocolate chip with walnut. It's our best seller. Kenapa estu la? Sebab biasa kan macam orang tanya, ok company siapa ni? You kerja dengan siapa? Estu la. I don't know if you are hearing this but behind there some singing going on at this MyFoodie Fest. Aspar Harry's baby, Tandertown. Good job! It's more spicy than sweet. The habanero sauce has this parsley, herb-y taste on you know. For me this is garlic sauce done right. Very sour cream coated, thick and rich. Man I was worried eating this. And if I didn't like it, the hairy army would come after me but... But their fries are quite tasteless. 8.2. Asiana Arena fried chicken. This is their butter sauce. Seems a little watery. That is brutal on my teeth. Some of the crispiness rock hard. A chicken version of mummy monster. Bon appetit guys! More milkiness than butter. Not bad! At least the chilli helps to balance the mockability of the buttery sauce. I will wish it to be a little more pekat. I think this is a case of give it a bit more time, could be a banger. 7. Us too la. Vietnamese roll for RM5 each. This one is the prawn. I like their sauce. Game changer! When I was eating without the sauce, I'm like expected plain tasting. But the prawn is the good kind, the stringy kind. Then when you dip it in that sauce... It's got this lemony zest that it's balanced so well with the creaminess. Smoked duck. Adds a thick salty smoked piece of duck. This is a duck. Plus point that it's a healthier option. 7.7. Musang king brownie. The durian is not a sneaky surprise. It's a little more of a teaser. Why I like it, it still has a nice blend with the chocolate. It's so fudgy. It sticks all up in your mouth. I like the crispy top. It doesn't make everything too soft and mushy. I just wish it was a little more duriany. I have to give this baseline 7. Cookies by Anadona. Cookie normie. 13 ringgit. If I was the first time soft cookie eater, Mahana Mampui! But I've eaten quite a few already and this is considered typical price. Why does it taste like detergent? Is it a mix of the French butter with sea salt? I don't know. With all the chocolate here, taste bud is getting hardly any of it. It tastes doughy but it also doesn't have the butteriness. It also doesn't have that oven flavour. Very clean tasting kind of dough. 5.7.
