French Toast


French Toast is originated from many places or countries with different kinds of variations in the cooking ways. However, in North America it is a very common breakfast among the citizens. The name of French Toast was known as German Toast and the name is modified to pain perdu that brings the meaning of (bread which is lost in egg). As it is stated earlier, different countries or races have different ingredients and this is how the variations are invented. The differences lie in terms of bread surface, cooking method, topping and also the way it is prepared.


In western countries they prefer dipping their “real” French bread into egg and cook by adding sugar, herbs and syrups. In Asian countries such as Hong Kong, the bread can be a normal Sandwich Bread that is usually topped with peanut butter and so on. Furthermore, French Toast is prepared in Portugal, Spain, France and so many other places and this is why the variations kept on adding and new recipes are invented to continue the legacy of this popular dish since 1918. At Sunshine Café, French Toast is prepared in a more Asian manner as the bread will be cooked thoroughly with beaten eggs and the toppings that are used to apply on the bread will be juicy together with aromatic taste. By the time the bread is chewed, the juiciness of the peanut butter, butter and many other toppings will give a magnificent savoury taste. The price of each set of French Toast will be set at RM 3.50.

Traditional Fried Noodles and Mee Hoon

Yoohoo! To Fried Noodles as I am a great fan of Fried Noodles since I was a kid and I usually had a meal of noodles almost 3 or 4 days a week (lol). Without any doubt, I am noodle lover and I am still the one who enjoys this superb dish very much. However, the Traditional Fried Noodles which is served at Sunshine Café won’t be as dark or as spicy as those ones out there. The amount of salt will be slightly reduced due to various reasons. The first reason is that it will not only be eaten just like that as it will be accompanied with the Signature Item Curry Chicken so that it will be the best blend for the enhancement of the fried noodles. With the hot curry sauce that is immersed to the fried noodles, the aromatic taste will arise as the texture begin to turned to more salivating flavours and the taste started to grow more and more scrumptious. The second reason the amount of salt is reduced is to promote a healthy eating habit to everyone in the eating hall.


The fried noodles is prepared with a few types of sauce which is mixed together to form a main sauce so that the taste of the fried noodles will be equalized and spread evenly. The bonus here is that the fried noodles can also be eaten with the side order or the value order of a chicken or fish chop so that you guys may enjoy the greatness of chicken chop with fried noodles combo (there will also be an extra egg to add value to it). Needless to say that we, as Malaysians do like fried and grilled food very much as the taste will be more pleasing to have so many ingredients to be cooked to the extreme degree (which is very “geng”).
This is why many will find out that majority of eateries will serve fried and grilled dishes as the demand is very high among us. Haha, let us “wok” the talk together by keeping this culture as popular as always. The Traditional Fried Noodles can also be served with many other sub orders such as fried Wan Ton, Sausages, Fish or Chicken Balls as well. The noodles are priced at RM 2.50 for small and RM 3.00 for large and side orders can be ordered differently to add different combination values to the dish as you picked.

Signature Item Crispy Chicken Chop

Traveling around the country in the aim to seek a better western food which doesn’t only exhibits splendor taste but also sounds reasonable in terms on monetary value might be a tedious work. As for the chicken chop dish, it can be found in most of the western restaurants with decorative such as cabbages, sliced tomatoes, cucumber are put to enhance the attractiveness and there will be presence of French fries to complete the perfect dish. Many people from all walks of life love eating chicken chop regardless various cooking techniques like Oriental, Maryland and so on.


At Sunshine Café, the chicken chop will be fried till it is golden crispy on the texture of the coating. This coating must be done by carefully chosen ingredients to ensure that it will never be too hard when it is exposed to air and not to be too soft as it will be lack of crisp and crunchy feel. Thus a good mixture of different types of flour in the correct proportion will be the ideal choice to prepare a delicious chicken chop. Breadcrumbs is another good alternative which can increase the crispiness level of the chicken coating but it will be troublesome sometimes as it is easily fried to charred if the portion of breadcrumbs and temperature level is not carefully determined. The greatness of a piece of chicken chop lies beneath the marinating method used (we are dealing with herbs and spices here ^.^)

An overcooked chicken chop will never output a perfect chicken chop as the meat inside will be over-fried, leaving it rough and loss of tenderness. That is why many people who cooked at home will never get the best result out of it as the kitchen equipment is put into test. Using a non-stick frying pan will consume a great deal of time and many people would have chosen this to fry chicken and fishes as it provides a non-stick surface underneath it so that the meat won’t stick and making it charred. Some people may use stainless steel to fry it and some may have hard time figuring how to resolve the matter by having thoughts such as “ is it good to put more oil to prevent the chop from sticking to the pan ?”. This is even worse and try to imagine actually you swallow that great amount of oil portion and try to consider how “healthy” it is. Thus, the chicken chop will be best done using deep-fryers as it doesn’t only prevent pan sticking problem but also makes sure that the temperature control will be maintained very high and stable so that the chicken or fish will be equally cooked in all directions, preventing charred results that might be hazardous to our health.

Moreover, the sauce for every bite of the chicken chop will be extremely essential so that every chunk of chicken will be savoured with sauce. There will be options of Black Pepper, Thai, Herbal, Mushroom and also the Tomato sauce which will be served with the order of the customer. This gives a golden opportunity for the people who liked to eat chicken chop in their own ways instead of eating only with the original tomato sauce. Moreover, the chicken chop will be served together with Nasi Lemak, Traditional Fried Noodles, or French Fries pricing reasonably well at RM 8.50.
