The Shepherdoo Restaurant & Lounge - Subang Jaya

- June 25, 2014

Once in awhile we will purchase food deals from the websites. One of the pros when you purchase food deals is - you can save up to 50% or even more! Cons - be prepared to expect the unexpected ( In terms of food quality and service ) So last week, we decided to try our luck again and purchased a Mexican food deal. We ended up at "The Shepherdoo Restaurant & Lounge".

We purchased the RM40 vouchers that entitles us to a RM80 meal! We ordered Quesadilla de Hongo, Mexican buffalo wings, Pasta ala Pollo and Hot black. Our first dish was Mexican buffalo wings - baked chicken wings coated in hot sauce and ranch dressing with cucumber sticks on the side. When I took the first bite of the buffalo wings, my expression was.... omg... it's so salty and sour! However when I continue chewing, the saltiness tend to fade away and the dish turned out to be quite good. The chicken wing was well marinated. Slightly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.

Shortly after that, they served Quesadilla de Hongo - hand folded flour tortilla toasted on the char-grilled Mexican style, filled with wild garlicky sauteed mushrooms, sweet spanish onions, cheese and balsamic reduction. I don't really enjoyed this dish because the whole combination of sauteed mushrooms, onion and cheese taste a bit strange for me.

My favourite dish of the night was Pasta ala Pollo - Mexican rubbed chicken breast, char-grilled with caramelized pineapple and tomato relish on a bed of sauteed spinach pasta. I was quite impressed with this dish. The chicken breast really blew me off. It was well marinated, cooked perfectly, so tender and juicy. The spaghetti was good and cooked al dente (pasta that's fully cooked but not overly soft). Only setback was the spaghetti tasted slightly salty for my liking.

Last but not least our dessert, Hot black - melted warm chocolate brownie topped with a vanilla ice cream. It was delicious. Not too sweet and the brownie was soft and warm. Best dessert to end the night.
