Dallas Restaurant & Bar: LIC food outing

March 30, 2009 | 32 Comments

It was supposed to be January, but it is almost April soon! Well, like they say, better late than never! Forty-four was the magical number this time, and I’m glad to see many of my regulars, and of course our new friends.

Salt & Pepper Calamari

We started with the simple appetiser, but I was too busy running from table to table that the calamari turned cold by the time I returned!

Chicken & Cheese Quesadillas

Dallas signature Quesadillas was one of the dish which I remembered from my previous visit. Tasting almost like a Mexican taco, there was chicken bits soaked with tomato in chicken broth.

Shredded Pork Tacos

Baby Back Pork ribs

There was some confusion when the ribs were served. The three different flavours of Fiery, Alabama & Smoked Hickory BBQ were too alike! Because we did everything in tasting portions, the pork ribs had to be cut and served this way, otherwise we were be there until four.

Dallas Wings

There was some feedback that the wings were too dry and lacked marination.

Tempura Barramundi

Corn & crab fritters

Beef Fajitas with Guacamole & sour cream

Breaded mushrooms

The “twin” brother which looked almost identical to the Corn & Crab Fritters.

***

A total number of 44 people turned up for this LIC food outing, thank you everyone! Like I’ve mentioned, there will be no date announced yet for the next lic food outing, I will try to organise it soon, so see you next time! I’ll also like to thank Jason, the owner for Dallas for hosting us.

I will be adding the group photos to my Facebook page later. Do add me there to see the photos!

Cool beans, when will you do a LIC outing in KL? It’s sure no mean feat getting 44 folks together for a makan session. Well done!

Oh dear, I notice the lack of comments for the subsequent dishes, guess you must be too busy that day to enjoy the food. Nice photos, the fact that you took it in an “express mode”…

Thank you for organizing the event and it was great and I am sure everybody has a whole lot of fun. Looking forward to the next food tasting outing…

Our corn and crab fritters never came. And dry and lack of marination doesn’t even begin to describe the wings.

Thanks for the outing LIC!

No offense but even though you don’t control the food, there is an implied responsibility. Shrugging off responsibility is definitely not the way to go. Please dont be mistaken. I am not blaming you. I am just letting you know about the implications and repercussions. I hope you realise that its easier to change reality then to change perception.

Cheers.

A cross-straits outing sounds great! Last time I was in Singapore, I had the pleasure of being taken for dinner by Keropokman and his lovely Momo. Can’t wait to have the Singaporeans over to KL too!

i liked dishes no. 2 & 3, and the third level of the place (: but the event was a little segregated in terms of people arrangement, so there wasn’t much interaction except within our own tables..

elaine: hmm.. if you are coming in a group of 4, it will be kind of hard to know new people unless u all spilt up. for those in 2, i put two pairs together and I’m sure they have fun. Also people need to take initiative to walk around to interact, much as i will like everyone to make new friends, there’s nothing i can do if they dont take initiative : )

hi brad, great photos..though i didnt attend, understand you must be put in great deal of effort to put everythg together..

anyway, One man’s meat is another man’s poison , so it’s definitely not your responsibily (or even impossible) to ensure everyone luvs the food..

good job anyway..hope to join one of your trails very soon Jia You!
