it's been so long....

..years really, since i last laid my buds on these fabulous mouth watering delicacies..

i found this place by chance actually while i was going up an escalator with a friend at the pavillion shopping centre yesterday..suddenly, there was this little sign board that screamed out at me.!! come get the best tacos, nachos & other mexican spread - at Popilla !! and then it was a good 10 minutes of frantic, heart palpitating excitement verging on disappointment, searching all over for that outlet at the lower ground food court area...and just when i was about to give up..wah lah !!..like magic, the stall suddenly appeared right in front of me..



this is THE place that brought back memories of a place long gone..almost cried when i saw it..hahahaha (ok..ok..granted this was nowhere near the likeness of Taco Bell, but it was very very close enough...)





ok..well..these fellas dont quite look like mexican amigos but they can sure serve up some really nice mexican feast in a jiffy, like speedy gonzales.. yibba..yibba...andale..!!





and this folks !!..this is the one thing that has been missing from my life for over the last ten years !! i kissed the ground & praised the lord for bringing me my kind of nachos !! just you look at those melted cheddar cheese...wheeeeeeeeeeeelelujah...!!




..and this of course, completed me yesterday..wonderfully crispy taco shell, filled to the brim with spicy minced chicken, laced with an exact amount of sour cream & salsa sauce & loaded with lots of freshly cut tomatoes & crunchy lettuce shreds..all topped up with a hefty sprinkling of grated cheese that just melted in my mouth with every single bite.. uuummmm..yummy.. can you taste it ?


the above plus a drink of pina colada for only rm 12.40..!! unbelievable...

i was in no mood to share with anyone, i had to eat them all, every little bit of it, almost licked the paper wrapper too..at that moment in time, it was just me and my tacos & nachos and nothing else would have mattered... and they were all mine, mine, mine mine...huargghhhh !!

so now..i'm drawing up my next few sunday trips to Popilla to savor their echiladas, burritos..etc..etc..

i podía comer aquí para siempre....

i thought i would..

..give this playground place a visit again since the last time i went there was a bit of a let down..who knows..maybe the chef was in a bad mood that day..haha and anyway, parking spots were plentiful around the cafe lot last night..

i wanted just a light meal as i had not had my dinner yet.. so i ordered the following..


this was appetizer/dessert..haha. it was a supposedly -25C ice floss. i ordered the orange flavored one..it was kinda nice, tasted a bit like ice cream but without the heavy creamy taste, kinda melt-in-the-mouth sweet.. those little pearl-colored balls on the side were nice. they "pop" when you bite into them..like small little eggs..haha




this was my dinner..moonlight fried koay teow..i suppose they called it moonlight was becoz of the raw egg placed on top.. to represent the moon i guess... the taste was sort of bearable but i wish they had not used frozen crab sticks & other frozen processed bits & pieces of seafood. Would have been nice if fresh prawns or squids were used..


well...i guess i would just go back to try other ice floss flavors..
