Brussel Sprouts

 Ever since 2003, I have been looking for Christmas meals with turkey and brussel sprouts to relive my memories of uk. I can't remember when I started eating brussel sprouts. I don't think I have eaten brussel sprouts before I went to uk.

In uk, turkey and brussel sprouts are in a way an important part of Christmas dinner or so it seems. In doing an online search on why do we eat turkeys and brussel sprouts during Christmas, many articles such as the one below appear:

In 2014, I found an affordable christmas set lunch with turkey and brussel sprouts for MYR 25 nett. Then after that, no more because my family doesn't want me to buy a whole roasted turkey as they prefer eating chicken than turkey. I did buy one whole roast turkey set meal from a hotel around the year 1998 and it took many days for everyone to eat everything.

This year, I ordered a single meal of turkey and one pecan pie.

I put most of the turkey meat on top of a slice of bread into another container to eat on another day. Then I ate the remaining turkey meat, chestnut sage stuffings, petals of brussel sprouts, sweet potato with the cranberry and the brown sauce.

The slice of pecan pie with crunchy pecans in caramel butterscotch chocolate fillings. He says too buttery he can't eat it so I kept it in the fridge to eat a bit a day since it is quite sweet.

Bought using beepit from Alexis Bistro on Wednesday 23 December 2020.

Delivered in a nice paper bag.

Don't look at the price.

These are the options.

I found this 2015 menu online. The turkey main dish this year is the same as the one in 2015. I think with this year's meal, I will end my search for this meal forever for I will store this year's meal in my memory forever.

No turkey and the portion is too big.

Ben's General Food Store - whole roast turkey set MYR 328. Too big portion.

Whole roast chicken set is affordable.

Single pax meal - half a roast chicken.

Morganfields whole roast stuffed turkey set at about MYR 430.

Was considering this set at about MYR 90 but he says he prefers siew yuk instead of porchetta. 😂

Only at MYR 288.

WG Brew House Roast Turkey

Pasta stirfried local style so it tastes like mee goreng. Very flavourful. From the ala carte menu, it costs MYR 15.80+ (6% SST = MYR 16.75 nett) from Brew House, SS2, PJ.

As for me, I prefer fish so I ordered from the set lunch - Thai style Fish at MYR 13.80+ (MYR 14.63 nett) which includes a glass of ice lemon tea, a bowl of soup and a mini glass of vanilla ice cream. Back in 2018, I ordered the sweet and sour fish set lunch which costs MYR 11.45 nett.

Other sets that my two friends ordered are grilled chicken and Claypot Pork Belly, both sets cost MYR 14.63 nett each.

Brew House has Roasted Whole Turkeys for sale this festive season!

This is how you order. Brew House has many outlets.

Brussels sprout

I have been searching for an affordable Christmas meal with Brussels sprout because it would not feel like a Christmas meal without them. Then I found it.

Turkey, Cranberry Sauce, Brussels sprouts (only 3 green balls), Baby Carrots, Baby Tomatoes, Sugar Snap Peas. The Brussels sprouts taste exactly like how I remember them to be. Nice!

As this is a set meal, I get a slice of garlic bread and pumpkin soup before the main dish.

I am lucky that dessert is just a thin slice of fruit cake - buttery with alcohol taste - or else I would be too full. Best of all this set meal only costs me MYR25 nett at Reggae Mansion KL.

There is a nice internal courtyard if you prefer to sit under the sky. It has a glass roof so you won't be drenched when it rains.
