Habanero Mexican Dining (Sunway Carnival Mall)

Habanero Mexican Dining (Sunway Carnival Mall)
Visited on Dec 2013

墨西哥佳肴的颜色特别鲜艳，以酸辣的重口味为主，辣椒种类多，酱料搭配的吃法花样百出，特别容易刺激食欲。我看到一个网站写：墨西哥人称自己为「玉米人」，因为墨西哥特色美食作法离不开用玉米饼搭配不同的馅料和酱汁。这间店可以作为对墨西哥传统食物的入门介绍，食物选择不多，但已能让你了解墨西哥人的基本口味。

Mexican food… A fusion of indigenous Mesoamerican cooking with European, especially Spanish, elements added after the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in the 16th century. The basic staples remain native foods such as corn, beans and chili peppers, but the Europeans introduced a large number of other foods, the most important of which were meat from domesticated animals (beef, pork, chicken, goat and sheep), dairy products (especially cheese) and various herbs and lots of spices. Habanero Mexican Dining will give you an introduction to the traditional Mexican cuisine. 

第一次是在Queensbay Mall看到这间餐馆，万圣节期间布满蜘蛛网装饰，还有一尊披着布匹坐在桌上用餐的骷颅人，一度吓到我，也深深吸引我。那时和朋友呆呆站着看墙上菜单，步骤好像很多步骤很复杂，且菜单上的食物发音陌生，排队点餐的人数也不少，双方互看一眼，便匆匆离开找另一家。这次无意间在Sunway Carnival Mall发现这间店，经服务生仔细讲解，才知道点餐过程如此容易（看上图）。

The first time we saw Habanero is at Queensbay Mal during Halloween. Since their shop is newly open and was so crowded, we decided to visit it next time. This time we finally tried it since we found out that Sunway Carnival Mall have their branch too. Their staffs are so friendly and helpful in explaining the way to order the dishes that we like. To be honest, it is not that complicated than what you taught about. 

油炸玉米粉饼 Quesadilla with Parilla Chicjen  RM12.00
Quesadilla with Camimo Beef RM14.00

墨西哥油炸玉米粉饼（Queesadilla）——用玉米饼皮包馅料，加入乳酪后进行烘烤，一般配上酸奶油或者牛油果酱。外皮的口感相当酥脆，馅料被压得扎实，酸奶油的搭配很开胃。原本以为像吃印度飞饼，手撕粘上酱汁就能吃完，但是餐馆没有提供任何餐具，又不想浪费一堆摆在篮子的新鲜生菜和莎莎酱，只好把它们夹在两片油炸玉米饼粉中当汉堡吃，配菜掉落满桌，有些狼狈。

Quesadilla - A flour tortilla or a corn tortilla filled with a savory mixture containing cheese, other ingredients, and/or vegetables(avocado, tomato, corn), then folded in half to form a half-moon shape. The tortilla is very crispy and the filling to very dense which is quite appetizing when you eat it together with sour cream. The first things that come to our mind is the tortilla will taste like roti canai, but it is totally different. Quesadilla come with lots of fresh vege and salsa sauce. You have used your bare hand to eat it because they did not provide any cutlery for you. But we understand why it needed to be taken using hand because it is more convenient and easy to consume.  The down part is, the filling will keep on falling from the tortilla while you eating which is quite messy. 

墨西哥煎玉米卷 Taco with 3 choice of Meat RM13.00

墨西哥煎玉米卷 Taco with 3 choice of Meat RM13.00

塔可（Taco）——也称墨西哥卷，也是总所皆知的墨西哥最有特色的事物，玉米煎制的薄饼皮脆片，根据自己的喜好放入馅料，然后加入番茄生菜乳酪等，颜色特别鲜艳的一道食品。不过这是一道很「难吃」的食物，这里的难吃并不是指味道，虽然各种味道混杂其中，但却不恶心，「难吃」是因为你不知该从何吃起，咬了一口，嘴巴张得不够大，又是馅料掉落，狼狈的画面重现。

Taco - A traditional Mexican dish composed of a corn or wheat tortilla folded or rolled around a filling. A taco can be made with a variety of fillings, including beef, pork, chicken, seafood, vegetables and cheese, allowing for great versatility and variety. A taco is generally eaten without utensils and is often accompanied by garnishes such as salsa, avocado or guacamole, cilantro, tomatoes, minced meat, onions and lettuce. This is the most difficult food to eat ever. You have no idea where to start eating and since the tortilla is quite rigid and crispy, you need to open your mouth to the biggest possible and stuff in into it. And then, it is again will be very messy. 

升级成配套 Upgrade RM4.90
（烤干酪辣味玉米片 Nacho Chip + Dip + Soft drink）

墨西哥玉米片（Nacho Chips or Tortilla Chips）——无法不爱的零食啊。只要把你的主食升级成配套，费用RM4.90，就可得到一份玉米片和一杯汽水，你可在柜台选择你爱的莎莎酱汁搭配——番茄、柠檬汁、辣椒及洋葱混制而成。比较失望的是店里的墨西哥玉米片不香脆，而且较厚，没有吃零食那种咬下发出沙沙声的快感。

Nacho Chips – A snack that everyone loves it. If you upgrade your main course into sets which require another Rm4.90, you can enjoy a bowl of nacho chips with salsa and a carbonated drink. We are quite disappointed with the nacho chips because it is quite think and not crispy enough to our liking. 

添加一些小常识：龙舌兰酒是纯正墨西哥风味必不可缺的饮料，他们生性乐观开朗，不拘礼节，最爱畅饮，口感香辣，回甘微甜的龙舌兰最能满足他们的味觉。

Extra info: Tequila - A distilled beverage made from the blue agave plant, primarily in the area surrounding the city of Tequila of the north western Mexican state of Jalisco. Outside Mexico, a single shot of tequila is often served with salt and a slice of lime. This is called tequila cruda and is sometimes referred to as "training wheels", "lick-sip-suck", or "lick-shoot-suck" (referring to the way in which the combination of ingredients is imbibed). This is always my favorite way to drink it. 

这间店的墨西哥食物菜单很「休闲」，像是随意带上各式各样的饼皮和的馅料去野餐，不同的馅料放入不同的饼皮，任意搭配都能入口。一道食物有玉米有肉类有蔬菜，方便快速，分量适中，风味独特，对于没尝过墨西哥食物的朋友，必定觉得很新鲜有趣。

Habanero Mexican Dining provides a simple and easy menu for customer whom you just need to choose the Mexican “skin”, meat and vegetable. That’s all!!! For those who did not try Mexican cuisine before, you guys should give it a try and will loves it too.
