It's Mie!

Sek Yuen Restaurant @ Pudu

2010-05-01T16:28:00.003+08:00

A gem at Pudu, KL. A restaurant that manage to maintain the 50's feel in this city. A restaurant that is a well known among the local folks. A restaurant where we can still see waiters wearing white shirt and black pants, just like what we normally see in 50's cantonese drama.

I saw torn and faded table cloth, but who cares? You are not goin to eat the cloth...

They have 2 shops with similar signboard. 1 with air-cond, 1 not. If you want to feel more nostalgia, probably you can choose to dine at non air-cond area...

There were 8 of us. I have read from bloggers on food recommendation and knew what to ordered before we went there....

Their specialty

Pei Pa Duck

We only ordered half as we had another duck dish later on.

Roasted perfectly, lean meat and i like the crispy skin. Definitely can beat those roasted duck sold outside...

Another specialty

Pat Po Duck a.k.a Eight Treasure Duck

Gotta order this in advance as it requires plenty cooking time...

Treasures in there...

we found ginkgo, mushrooms, roasted meat, lotus seeds and so on.

The duck has been braised to perfection, and all of us gave a thumbs up for the gravy. Very good to pair it with rice.

Kwai Fa Egg

Basically is eggs with sharkfin, and wrapped in lettuce.

This is a very traditional dish, where we normally find in the 4 treasure plate normally served in any wedding in outstation area. I have never encounter such dish in any restaurant in KL though...

It was fragrant with the eggy smell, but i found it lacked of taste, and requested for chili sauce...hehe...

Fatt Poot

Yam Ring

Basically is yam paste fried in a big ring form, and laden with stir-fry items . The yam was really really good. Crispy skin yet was mushy enough, flavourful!

My family members are all fans of this, gotta recommend to them, especially my dad.

Kar Heong vegetables

A medley of wood ear, dry lily bulbs, soohoon, bean curd slices, shredded cabbage etc, fried with nam yue (red color kinds of fermented tofu). The nam yue gave this a very robust flavour, many liked it...

Sea cucumber braised with 猪筋

In my personal opinion, the sea cucumber was a little way too soggy. Perhaps over-braised? Nonetheless, the 猪筋 was "Q" enough....

My ex-ex- colleagues!

It was very nice to see you guys here, bidding farewell to me. Such a long time since we last had our gathering...

My god! 3 kids joined us on that day, like giving those unmarried people like Mie, a little bit of pressure ehhh? Haha!

Sek Yuen

313 and 315, Jalan Pudu, KL

03-9222 9457

A place that does not need good food presentation but still manage to capture my heart. Sek Yuen, you are the one (among many :P)

Yu Ai Seafood Noodle @ Segambut

2010-04-29T20:38:00.001+08:00

As i mentioned in earlier post, the place where i stay is a food heaven, from local to international cuisine. This week is the last week of me in KL before moving down south, yearning for some tasty local food, i drag my bro to Yu Ai Seafood at Segambut to have my seafood noodles craving answered...

Yu Ai is located in a shoplot nearby area sprawled with medium/small industrial lots.

They offer seafood noodles in 3 version:

Soup, Curry or Tom Yam

You may choose preferred type of noodles such as beehon, mee, kueytiaw, yee mee and so on.

They do offer fish head noodle nowadays.

We chose to be seated outside although they have an "indoor" section. We found it very hot that day, and they are cooking the noodles in the shop itself, better to stay far away to avoid being over dehydrated!

Curry seafood noodles
RM17 for big version

Tomyam seafood noodles
RM15 for small version

What is inside: prawns, clams, fish slice, squid
As for the taste, i absolutely love the spiciness and thick taste of the tom yam. Couldn't stop slurping it! Could have finished it if not that i am worried of msg over-laden.

Got my craving done and tummy perfectly filled!
This seafood noodle place is definitely a must for food lover, OCCASIONALLY la.... (well in my humble opinion) due to its price.

Some people commented that it is expensive, well i am 1 of them. However, i do not mind to splurge on it occasionally....

Add: No 42, Jalan Segambut Utara, 51200 KL.

Opening hours: 8 am - 5 pm

Branch in PJ SS2: No. 58, Jalan SS2/10, 47300 Petaling Jaya

Opening hours: 11 am - 9.30 pm

My Farewell (X)

2010-04-29T20:18:00.003+08:00

On my last day in office, the witty Natalie wanted to buy me lunch and asked my opinion where to go. I really miss local food so i suggested Yap Hup Kee yong tau foo @ Pudu. I really love theire chee cheong fun!

This time, i chose to have the ccf with curry sauce.

Laden with dried shrimp, it was a goodness in a small bowl...

There were 4 of us, we chose to have fried beancurd sheets, pork balls, bittergourds, tofu and the everly sinful, braised-fried intestines! I really recommend the fried intestines!

Oh well, another reason why i chose to go Pudu is for over 8 dozens of egg tarts from Tong Kee!
I really wanted to buy something for the friends in the Firm before i leave, so i guess a piece of nice egg tart would be perfect!

Silky smooth fillings and flaky crust...
Yum Yum!

I hope you guys enjoyed the egg tart ehh!

Restoran Soon Soon Lye Salmon Fish Head @ Bandar Puteri, Puchong

2010-04-28T22:28:00.005+08:00

Wanted to "rescue" my hair before going down south. Was at Puchong, headed to Bandar Puteri for a quick lunch before the salon appointment. As i said earlier, wanted to eat local foods more often before flying off, so i chose to have fish head noodles as lunch....

I had lunch here before with my bro long time ago but never blog about it. This round, i found that their service has improved, probably because it was still early before the lunch crowd came in. So they had only a few patrons to serve...

Wanted to treat myself a good meal, ordered

Salmon Fish Head Noodle with Fresh Water Prawn

RM18.50

Not cheap, since i ordered fresh water prawn.

Honestly, i like the broth very much. Very sweet, and with the rightful amount of tanginess from the preserved veges.

It was actually a big bowl of goodness, generous amount of thick beehoon, and the fried salmon head and the fresh water prawn. Probably the soup was sweeter from the prawn roe. Afterall, any soup will taste better with prawn added in.....

The way i like the fish head noodle to be....

I will definitely miss this...lucky me to be able to savour this before i leave the town...

It is actually right opposite Ah Xian Dimsum at Bandar Puteri Puchong

Oh dear, i haven't try Ah Xian dimsum!

Teochew Seafood Noodle @ Jalan Ipoh

2010-04-28T17:32:00.002+08:00

The area where i am staying is actually a food gem, especially local foods. It's close to Sri Hartamas, Solaris is only less than 5 minutes drive away, and pretty near to areas selling good cheap local foods. Jalan Ipoh is a long stretch of road, and nearby the Plaza Sungai Mas, there are a few food centres and lines of hawker stalls. Me and bro will usually head to this area during weekend lunch if we do have nowhere specific to go....

There is a stall selling teochew seafood noodles specifically. What made teochew seafood noodles special is their soup. Very clear but not losing it's sweetness and the oomph! I think i have blog about this before. Nevermind, i do not mind to share this little hidden gem again...

There are a lot of varieties of seafood to choose from. From the normal teochew fishball, clams, mussels, prawns, sliced MA YAU fish, even LONG TAN fish...Price ranging from RM3.50 to RM10++, depending what you order...

You can choose the noodles from a variety like beehoon, kueytiaw, yee-mee, mee suah and so on, and choose to want it dry or in soup.

This round, i ordered mussels, with additional of fish dumplings. The fish dumplings were really great!

Piping hot soup in a hot day!

Enjoy!

China Town Seng Kee Claypot Lou Shee Fun

2010-04-27T22:48:00.001+08:00

I am sure i will miss Malaysia food a lot when i am in Singapore. That is why i am trying to savour local food as often as possible while i am still in town now. A very good friend of mine know about this and willing to drive me to an area that i will never go alone, Petaling Street. I do not like the area for "you-know" reason, but i do like the many varieties of good food offered there. Laksa, porridge, chee cheong fun, hokkien mee...u name it. And there's another "wow" factor that attracted me here.....

~ Claypot Lou Shee Fun ~

Before

Stir stir stir

After

I like everything in claypot. I like anything mixed with minced meat, and mixed with raw eggs. So the claypot lou shee fun fits into my favourite food list...There are quite a few places serving this but nowhere beats the version serves here (at least in my humble opinion).

The top of the claypot is full of minced meat. Very generous though. Thick soy sauce and the burnt smell at the bottom of the pot, all were perfect. Yummy! Put in a little bit of cili padi or their sambal belacan....Whoaaaaa!!!!!!!

We did order some side dishes to go with...

Fried dumplings

Crunchy on the outside. Juicy and flavourful on the inside. This version surely beats those served in dim sum place...

Stir Fried 生肠

Honestly we didn't like this. The pig intestines were not Q enough. They used a lot of fried shallots to cover the taste, ended up almost half of the plate were full of the fried shallots.

Totally fail max...

They do serve many other chinese dishes, but we usually stick to the claypot lou shee fun and the fried dumplings. Never want to get disappointed, like what we had for the stir fried 生肠...haha...

BY the way, they are located opposite Hotel Malaya, a few doors next to Hotel Swiss Inn at Petaling Street. You may park at Hotel Malaya though...

My Farewell (IX)

2010-04-27T17:30:00.003+08:00

15 April 2010 was my last day in the Firm. I reserved the dinner session for my group members. Thank you Esther who gathered so many people for this dinner. I had fun...and i could see that everyone was having fun too....

They were so happy...why ah?

I really like steamboat. I think i will miss this very much after i go to Singapore...

We were at HO HO Steamboat @ Segambut. I wanted to come here for a special dish actually...

Some extra ingredients we ordered.

Fish slices, pork bacon and some balls...

This is it! The special dish that i mentioned.

Crab roe!

Not cheap, but we had around 20 pax that day so it wouldn't hurt too much...haha....

The fresh roe looked so fake to me actually. I wonder was it really from the crabs....

Cook, cook, cook

Boil, boil, boil

Thank you girls and guys! We had wonderful night that time!

The boss even gave us some free Heineken so we used that to pose! Haha...

See you guys around soon! Good luck to all!

My Farewell (VIII)

2010-04-27T17:08:00.001+08:00

Another farewell dinner with my beloved colleagues. This round was with Jessica, Pauline and Yenn Yeen. They were extremely busy with the audit peak periods but still managed to spare out some time to bid farewell to me =)

We went to The Apartment Downtown @ KLCC for a quick dinner, since all of them need to be back to office again after that (this the life of audit professionals!)

The Apartment @ KLCC has 2 floors, with a built-in lift. We were arranged to sit at 2nd floor, with the KLCC fountains as our views. So romantic-nya....haha....

Drink selection wise, i found that it's just pretty normal.

So i ordered Lemonade, to quench the thirst and to wash down the HEAVY meal later...

Me with Pauline

Me with Jess and Yenn Yeen

This is their signature dish, but i forgotten the name

Clams served with breads

Quite a generous portion of clams being served

Fish and Chips!

The chips were nice!

Roasted chicken spaghetti

This is called "Jamie's Roasted Duck Fettucini"

destined for me to order this la....haha....

Very very flavourful and topped with some pine nuts.

A very huge serving, i had some difficulties in finishing it!

A group picture!

Thanks all for the treat!

My Farewell (VII)

2010-04-23T16:18:00.003+08:00

I like that the managers in my group are a bunch of funny people. We have been together as a team, leading the team members for quite some years. It is a bit pity to leave a team that has performed well in the Firm. It is a bit sad to leave such a wonderful team.

I was surprised when Ed organised the awesome seafood farewell dinner for me. And the venue? Robson Heights at Taman Seputeh. A restaurant that i read the reviews from floggers. A place that is famous of crabs, my all time favourite!

Some photo session before everyone turned up

Seong Yeen, Mie, Beth, Ju and Mandy

Girl power!

With Ed. We have been in the same firm(s)..haha...

Thanks for the guidance all these years!

with Sam, who is taking over my portfolio

Good luck!

with ManMan

miss our lunches and dinners together!

this is the mixture of Guinness Stout and Heineken

i didn't quite like the taste of this mixture, so easy to get dizzy after drinking it!

This is awesome!

Claypot crabby rice. Need to wait at least 40 minutes for this.

While the crab was a bit tad dry (maybe because it's being "soaked" too long in the claypot), we all loved the rice indeed. Very flavourful.

I really do not know how to describe but it's just wonderful...

A little bit over-oily, but maybe it's this devil that made it so amazing.

I feel like having this for dinner today...haha...

PLEASE EAT ME

Their another signature dish
一枝骨
It was perfectly cooked that the meat was easily stripped off from the bones.
Rich in flavour...

Other dishes to make you drooling!!!!

Steamed 田鸡with Brands essence

Steamed fish

I don't know what fish is this but it tasted good. Afterall i love steamed fish!

Crab again!

Salted egg yolk...1 of my favourite cooking method.

They have another signature dish, Fresh water prawn with tanghoon, but they ran out of fresh water prawn that day, so we swapped it with lobster!

Gigantic!

Another drooling!!!!

So we had have enough...everyone was so full. Another photo session to end the night (not quite!)

with Tuck Wai, my unit leader

Thanks for all your consideration given all these years. Sadly i have never work with him ever since i joined the Firm!

with JC, cute boss =)

with KH, my client once said he looked like a superstar!

We then adjourned to KW's house which is nearby for wine drinking. Didn't manage to snap a lot of pictures cos my camera ran out of battery...

Final 2 photos of the night, with the Wonderful bosses.

Thanks for everything, everything, and everything!

My Farewell (VI)

2010-04-23T15:06:00.002+08:00

I never have the chance to try out any decent western breakfast in KL, other than those normal dimsum, chinese-style, nasi lemak and etc. The most "western" kind was those buffet breakfast served in hotel...

My beloved boss (now ex-boss) was supposed to travel overseas on my last work day, so we went for a nice breakfast on a morning before he flew off. Had a long conversation. Talked about my journey past these years in the Firm, how i grew up, and some piece of advice...

What we had :

American Breakfast

Came with scrambled eggs, hash brown, sausages, shitake mushrooms, fruits and basket of breads (croissant, toast bread, muffin etc)

A wholesome goodness for the morning. What you see is a person's portion. Lucky we only ordered 1 portion for sharing =)

Thanks for the guidance that you have provided all these years. I shall remember what you have taught. I shall remember your charmness and i do want to let you know that you are one of the nicest person (employer) that i have known so far....

Thanks for Everything! And thanks for the breakfast!

By the way, we were at Nikko Hotel =)

My Farewell Treat (V)

2010-04-11T21:38:00.002+08:00

Friday night, a super jam night after heavy downpour around 4-5 pm. Finished my work and waited for Kim Nyean to come back to office. Straight away headed to Pavilion for our dinner ... already almost 8pm...

I chose to have dinner at Ying Ker Lou, where they have opened new branches in Pavilion and the Gardens. A restaurant specialing in hakka cuisine, always a place that i wanted to try but never step in...

We ordered green tea

It came with a very unique pot with 2 small chinese cups. Very refreshing cos it's not a tea bag, real green tea leaves were used here...

By the way the tea pot was very very heavy...

Me at China ^_^

I had a WonderFULLL dinner here so let's see what we ordered...

Hakka Braised Pork with Black fungus with noodles

Noodles were springy enough. I had a small piece of the pork and found it a bit dry, nevertheless it's still flavourful with the "Nam Yue" taste...And i like the black fungus :)

Ginger egg with chinese yellow wine 黄酒姜蛋

Very strong taste of wine and i like they way they fried the egg, not dry and soft enough.... best eaten with rice and very appetising..

客家算盘子

This is a rather special dish that is already seldom seen being sold in town. It requires a lot of effort to cook this, that's why the serving is pretty small given its price...

Made from yam, and this was the dish that we liked the most cos it's very Q and full of wok-hei...

Hakka Lei-Cha with Brown rice

This turned out to be my favourite dish, i liked the freshness and healthy feeling after eating this. Some people couldn't stand the "green" taste (eg Kim Nyean..hehe..) but i like it so much....

However, we ordered too much (i should say HE ordered too much :P) and i didn't manage to finish this awesome dish...

What a waste!

Another of their recommended dish

A kind of tofu with fish paste on top...

Not too bad...

A table full of goodness for only 2 of us

Thanks Kim Nyean for the treat!

I will never forget this WonderFull dining experience! Haha...

My Farewell Treat (IV)

2010-04-11T21:00:00.001+08:00

Friday came so fast, didn't have much breakfast in order to leave some space for 2 farewell treats in a day! Chose to have a casual lunch somewhere nearby office so we headed to Delicious at Dua Annexe, Jalan Tun Razak...

Frosty Lychee & Lime

Watermelon & Lychee Blast

and my Mango, Lychee & Kaffir Blast

I liked the mango and lychee combination, and they are generous enough to provide the ingredients. Very cooling and refreshing!

With Daniel

One of my many good friends in CH

With Connie

A very sporting and cheerful girl...

Garden greens with house dressing

Wild mushroom soup with garlic bread

These are orders made by Connie, already so slim still eat so little!!! Haha....

Anyway, i tried the mushroom soup before and really like it cos it's thick enough with loads of wild mushroom chunks..

Daniel's Duck Confit Spaghettini

Dan's favourite but a little small portion for him, so i shared half portion of mine to him =)

Marsala Lamb Shank with Nasi Pilaf, Cucumber Raita & Papadum

Lamb shank was braised to perfection, tender meat and juicy enough. Coupled with the aromatic pilaf rice (with some kind of nuts) and refreshing cucumber, it made the meal a wholesome goodness! It's a rather big portion, lucky i had Daniel to share it...haha...

We ended the meal with their signature

Chocolate Brownie with chocolate sauce & Vanilla ice-cream

Sinful enough yet we couldn't say no to this!

Thanks Connie and Daniel for the treat!

Miss you guys soon!

My Farewell Treat (III)

2010-04-11T20:28:00.002+08:00

Knowing me leaving KL soon to Singapore for good, Joey came to look for me for lunch last Thursday, together with Mandy. We were at Pasarakyat to savour our favourite dish, steam fish head!

It took quite some time for the food to arrive so we had a piece of fried Nian Gao. This stall selling fried Nian Gao is very famous, it was previously located at Imbi Restoran Wing Heng Seng. I saw they were having brisk business as many people queing to buy it after having meals...

I am a fan of fried Nian Gao but never dare to have much due to its high level of fats. This piece cut into 4 quarters was perfect! Like its crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's actually a very big piece of fried Nian Gao itself. Lucky it's shared among 3 of us...

Their famous dish

Steam fish head 清蒸鱼头

Love its simplicity, dash of soya sauce with hints of chinese wine and lots of cili padi...

Fish head was steamed perfectly and quite fresh... Lots of Omega too!

We also had veges, 三皇蛋 and 蒸猪肉

While veges were just normal, the steamed egg was very soft. Wonder what's the trick behind. The 蒸猪肉was mixed with some salted fish. I didn't have too much of it cos i didn't have rice that day so eating it on its own was very salty ..

3 of us managed to finish the fish head, and "almost" finish the rest. 4 dishes for 3 of us were a little bit too much actually..haha

Thanks Joey for your treat!

My Farewell Treat (II)

2010-04-11T17:30:00.006+08:00

CSU3 managers friend asked me out for my farewell treat on last Wednesday. I am very touched that all of them were there for me!!! I have known most of them since the first day i joined this firm, and really happy that they still remember me even though they are extremely busy with works and we are no longer in the same group!

We had lunch at Nippon Tei, KLCC last Wednesday. Not sure whether there were any big events in KLCC that day but we had problems in finding parkings. Parking is always an easy task in KLCC so this appeared weird to all of us....Nevertheless, back to my farewell treat ^_^

My order. Special Bento??

Can't remember the name, all i know is it came with many stuff!

It has octopus, grilled mackerel, tempura, salmon and tuna sashimi, salads and a type of fried/baked rice. While the other sides were up to my expectations, i was pleasantly surprised with the rice included. Not sure what rice was that but it has some shitake, ginkgo and some diced chicken, it left a very healthy feeling to me indeed...

I love this set! Li Chain and El had the same set with me...we have same taste ehh???

With Andy, El and Elaine

This is another set that 5 of the managers chosen...haha..
Beef Teriyaki/Teppanyaki set
I could smell a very strong teriyaki flavour...beefy ...and i supposed it was nice too..

With Ngiam Ngiam
Cheeerful as ever

With Kenji and Eric
Thanks Uncle Eric who is always busy and "anti-social" but spared some time for me...hehe...

With Elaine, Wai Yi
They were my neighbours in office before!

Love the set so much until i wanted to take a pict with it!

Awesome Jap lunch

Thanks so much guys!

My Farewell Treat (I)

2010-04-11T14:23:00.006+08:00

Today marks a final sunday for me before my last day on coming Thursday. I always have many things to think about every Sunday, and mostly related to works...I guess the life of working as an auditor for so many years have really left a great impact to me, both personal and work...

I have been receiving many lunch and dinner invites from my good friends in my firm. I have made a lot of good friends here, and i will never forget everyone....

My farewell treat started last Monday, never thought that the first meal treat would be the one organised by Hoh Yan =) We went to Full House nearby our office, together with Ricky, Emily and Sook Lai...

We were busy chatting and all i managed to snapped was the starter and the desserts!

Fail max!

Didn't capture the nice Main course of the Grilled Chicken and the Dory fish...

Thanks Ricky, Sook Lai, Emily and Hoh Yan for the wonderful lunch...

I enjoyed the gossip and chatting very much!

Bid Farewell

2010-04-10T23:45:00.004+08:00

I have been working in my current firm for the 7th year. I am leaving here soon, on 15th April 2010. 5 more days.....

Some people asked me whether i would cry on my last day, afterall i have been here for so many years. It's a miracle for a person to stay in this line for even more than 3 years. Thanks god i survived, and i am retiring from this line very, very soon.....

Things i miss the most to leave here are colleagues and bosses. Many years of colleague relationship, many years of boss-subordinate relationship. Sometimes we are just like friend, able to talk and share things. I am lucky to meet some of my good friends here, and very lucky to meet kind hearted and understanding bosses. Lucky the boss that i am close with the most will be overseas on my last day, if not i think i will drop tears when i say good-bye to him on that day!

I see people come, people go. And now it's my turn to go.... To move to a new country, new firm, new career advancement. I wonder how it will be... i pray and hope that it turns out to be good and smooth....

Good bye my friends in CH, my friends in KL...do keep in touch!

Farewell with 04 and Imm @ Shanghai 10, Avenue K

2010-04-10T23:17:00.008+08:00

I had been to Shanghai 10 many times but i never have the chance to blog about it. Farewell lunch with Shi How and Gaik Imm was done here, suggested by they themself...

We wanted a room and was told that minimum charge was RM250. Given the huge crowd of us (10??), Ed thought we should be able to cover so we were in the room!!!

As usual, chinese tea in every dimsum session

Shanghai 10 offers Dimsum and ala carte dishes, let's see what we had that day...

Fried flat noodles with crab roe

Was specifically requested by me, cos i just loved the aromatic of this dish. Transparent flat noodles fried with generous amount of crab roe and eggs, and we saw many many many...huge shrimps lying on top too!

Definitely a very high carbo and cholestrol dish but who cares if it's awesomely delicious!

Very "wok hei" too!

A kind of pork dish that we ordered, not sure what it calls...

I had a small piece and voila!

I don't know how to describe the yumminess of this so please go try yourself!

~~ Dim Sums we had ~~

Something with scallops?

Crab Roe XiaoLongBao
Like this!

Something new...
Cheong Fun wrapped with Foochok and garnished with crab roe gravy...
Didn't try this anyway but it looks so nice!

Xiao Long Bao
Their signature dimsum and always a must order for me.
Can finish in a bite but not sure what's wrong on that day, it seemed that all xiao long bao were broken when we picked it!

Beancurd Roll

Fried "Wu Tao Kou" yam cake

I prefer fried radish cake

Sesame ball

Crab roe La Mian

Love the soup gravy....

Cha Siew Bao

My another favourite

Fried Cheong Fun

Love the way they fried it together with eggs and XO sauce!

Last but not least, egg tart

Creamy and puffy!

Imm and 04

Wish you guys all the best in your future undertaking!

Girls' Nite Out - Seeri Authentic Thai Restaurant & TinPan GoGo

2010-04-10T19:54:00.008+08:00

Had a girls' nite out on a Friday together with Jiun, Lily, Min and Wai Yee. I suggested to go try a thai restaurant which i stumbled upon reading a blog that i frequented. And oh yes, the decision was correct =)

The menu stated NO MSG, i didn't feel extremely thirsty after eating so i think it's true!

Found some special drink like lemongrass/pandan tea and this water chestnut drink - RM3.00
Min who ordered this said it tasted like the one from can @_@

Me and WaiYee ordered thai coconut to cool ourself due to the super hot weather!
RM4.50

Let's see what we had that day

Green curry chicken - RM15
This dish is their recommended one but we felt that it was just so-so only..
While it was aromatic enough, i felt that the curry was a bit watery, and the chicken tasted a bit weird. Oh we found something interesting in the curry that looked like olive...

I love this
Stir fried paku pakis - RM10
Crunchy!

Tomyam seafood - RM20.00
Each of us had a bowl of this, with plenty of mixed seafood such as prawn, fish and squid.
Served in an old school charcoal steamboat, all of us liked this very much. Very flavourful even though it was not that spicy enough, still got the kick that kicked our appetite!

Steam Seabass - RM32.00
I knew we had to order this upon entering the shop. I saw it on every table!
The fish was caught live in front of our eyes as the aquarium was just a table away from us....
Steamed traditional thai style with lots of garlic, the soup itself was so sweet and the fish meat was tender too...
I had too much of this though....

Pandan chicken - RM15.00
Tender meat and fragrant enough....a dish to complete this awesome thai food experience!

The 5 of us had too much...we ordered 5 dishes!
Greedy max!
The meal came to RM113 (no tax), which i think is affordable, given the satisfaction of the thai food that we had.
The restaurant is located at the same row as Kayu Nasi Kandar at Chow Yang, SS2.

Feeling to have something sweet and to continue our endless conversation, we adjourned to TinPanGoGo for desserts...

~~ Drooling ~~

A personal desserts for each of us and durian pancakes, red bean and coconut pudding to share...

The pudding was very nice and Q enough ehh! We loved it very much!

The desserts bill came to approx RM80, and we spent nearly RM200 that night....

Expensive? Not really....cos the opportunity to catch up with the buddies was indeed priceless....

Nice Mille crepe @ Dessert's Bar

2010-04-04T16:36:00.005+08:00

This was a visit to Dessert's Bar @ KLCC outlet during the Xmas week holiday last year when the special one was in town and we went shopping with Mom. We skipped lunch and had tea-time instead, and we settled at this nice eatery after tired of walking :P

Heard of this cafe from blogs, and saw mix comments. Some said it nothing special, some said it fantastic. Well, i was impressed with their desserts collection so here i was =)

Got this after making selection and payment at counter. They will serve us the ordered items....

noticed their signature "no colouring" ice cream...hmm...will try this next time...

We had:

Cappucino

Earl grey tea

Kiwi + mango smoothies

The Cappucino was a pretty small portion for a coffee addict like me, and it was a bit pricy given the size of the coffee. Earl grey was nothing spectacular (tea bag only ma ...haha...) but the smoothies was a surprise! Sourish and sweet enough to perk me up though :)

We just love this very much....

Honestly this was my 1st time savouring mille crepe and i really love it. I cut it by fork and ate it in the stacks of crepe, and also ate it layer by layer....both method of eating still gave me the same satisfaction!

Still remember the taste of the butter cream in between...Yummy!!!

Always heart carrot cake so i ordered this to try.

Personally feel that it was not too bad but i don't like the plenty icing in between :P

I myself feel that the pricing for the drinks here are not worth that much, but it may due to we ordered their non-signature drinks such as coffee and tea. Maybe their signature drinks like fresh smoothies and juices are worth it. Will definitely back for more cakes, crepes and desserts!!

A day out with Regene ~ Winter Warmers Cafe @ The Curve

2010-03-21T21:58:00.006+08:00

I went for a shopping day with Regene yesterday at The Curve. We are cousin sis, school mate, room mate and tuition mate before but we never happen to hang out together, at only 2 of us. Lucky i had this opportunity to spend some quality time with her before moving down south...

We decided to have a hi-tea instead of lunch, so we headed to Winter Warmers, a cafe that i have been knowing for many years, yearning to try for so many times, until finally managed to step in to this awesome cafe yesterday....

We ordered Afternoon Tea Set @ RM29.90

The set comes with selection of black tea for each person, but we can choose to upgrade to other beverages by the additional RM1...

Honestly this was the very first time i tried English afternoon tea set, so let's see what's in there...

Butter and chocolate cookies

Crunchy and very fragrant with its rich butter taste...guilty after eating this!

2 pieces of cakes

Chocolate and orange cheese (if i'm not mistaken)

The choc cake was very moistful and rich in chocolatey taste, while the orange cheese had a little sourish taste...

The lowest part, we had scones and sandwhiches

The sandwich was a little bit dry (the bread), so-so only

I like the scone, i am a scone lover. Too bad they didn't provide the cream, only butter and jam given. It would have tasted better with cream...

Regene's cappuccino

I like their cups!

My mix fruit cocktail tea, served with honey

Good to wash down the carbo and fats that we have indulged just now...haha...

Some obligatory photo with the tea set tower ^_^

Gotta have more of this hang out again!

Managed to get 2 complimentary ice-cream voucher from New Zealand Natural from the wheel-spin at The Curve. The first time i tried this ice-cream brand tooo....

Yogurt berry and Chocloate Ecstasy (their star seller)

The chocolate ecsrasy was very sinful, very rich in chocolate taste!

Another good option for ice-cream other than Haagen Dazs and Baskin Robbins...

Regene, our next outing will be before my official move to Singapore ehhh???

Sushi Tei @ Tropicana City Mall

2010-03-19T23:10:00.006+08:00

Sushi Tei is a Japanese chain restaurant from Singapore. First heard about it last year but only managed to try it today, to celebrate Wai Yee's birthday, 1 of my best buddy in KL....Some say its foods are so-so, some say excellent. Well, we'll see how it goes....

What they offered is pretty much the same with other Japanese chain, with a few "new" items that we never seen in other restaurant...at least they serve sea urchin here (which is very NOT affordable for me lah....haha....)

Hot Ocha for us 3

Birthday girl ^^

Salmon Carpaccio RM10.80

Seared salmon with soy sauce (or sesame?), topped with alfalfa

Very fresh. Like it very much...

Chicken Katsu Soba

While the soba tasted good with a very clear and sweet soup, the chicken katsu somehow let us down with its dryness. Prefer it to be more juicy...

Salmon belly sushi (at behind) RM6.00
Salmon roll with 3 kinds of different ebiko (forgot the price)

All i can say is good. Amazing.

Grilled scallop with mayonaise

The sauce has a hint of garlic, and it's pretty filling up the tummy after eating this. Some kind of "jelak". Ended up we ate the chicken katsu together with the sauce and it tasted pretty good too...

Grilled salmon with cod roe RM15.80

Thumbs up for this!

The salmon was not overly grilled, just perfect to be eaten together with the cod roe on top. Cod roe was smooth and silky enough, a perfect combination!

I am craving more for this!

Chawanmushi ordered by the birthday girl, which we found it just normal

We also ordered the Grilled squid which was giant in size. Not up to our expectation, still had it chewy-ness, but the teriyaki sauce provided was not enough leh...haha...

^^ Us ^^

Happy Birthday Wai Yee !

1st Blog Anniversary

2010-03-11T22:29:00.002+08:00

Happy Birthday to my blog! Actual day will be on 14 March but i will be away on that day...so wishing my blog a HAPPY BIRTHDAY in advance!

Many more years and good food to come!

Nyonya food @ Ah Tuan Ee's, The Curve

2010-03-07T16:34:00.005+08:00

My few best mates were back from overseas to KL for holiday, and we gathered together during 1 fine day for some catch up and of course MAKAN!

We chose Ah Tuan Ee's place for some local foods since they were back from overseas and wanted to eat something more local. It was about 9 am and the restaurant was a bit quiet...

Heard about this restaurant before but never tried it. Was more convinced after seeing this on their wall....

Let the feast begin ~~~

What we had that night

Pai Tee

Like the crispy skin and the fillings

Acar

Always my favourite. Like the crunchiness and tanginess of the veges

Petai prawns

The husband and wife ordered this since they couldn't find petai in Australia..

Very flavourful and best goes with rice...

I heart this...

Can't remember the exact name, a type of fried chicken with rendang gravy...

Yumm Yumm~~~

Beef rendang

So - so only...Average

My Jimui ordered this..

Eggplant with spicy sauce...

She commented was average too...

Some kind of spicy fried chicken..didn't try...

Everyone's favourite

Fried sengkuang with lettuce wrap

Gotta be careful while eating this as it tends to drop out when we bite!

Their signature

Claypot Fish Head

Generous amount of side ingredients such as okra, brinjals, tomatoes and taufoopok

I found the curry to be a little bit sour and tangy, probably it's the way of nyonya style fish head curry should be...

Not the type of fish head curry that i fancy but still it's a good one...

Nyonya otak otak

It was a steamed version...prefer the grilled one ~~~

It was a huge feast for the 10 of us. Didn't manage to finish all the dishes oredered though. But we enjoyed the precious time of us hanging together.

Looking forward to the next meet up!

Satay Beehon ... why no one in KL selling this????

2010-03-07T16:20:00.004+08:00

I will always try to search for new foods whenever i am in Singapore. Those "new" foods that are not being offered in KL or Malaysia. Got the chance to savour Satay Beehoon which is pretty famous in Singapore, but i never seen it in KL. Sometimes i am wondering why as KL has many nice stalls selling satay but no one has the creative idea to start selling satay beehoon or noodles or whatever not....probably afraid of being called copycat...haha....

So this is the plate of satay beehoon that i tried during my previous trip to Singapore. With beehoon, taufoopok, taugeh, some meat strips, and full loads of satay gravy flooded in a rather small plate...cause i was just ordering a small plate at the price of SGD3.

I really like this very much. I am the person who like satay gravy, and i will normally indulge in cucumber sticks with satay gravy instead of the satay itself....Oh well, i just love the spiciness and the richful aroma of the satay gravy. Perhaps i need to visit Melaka soon for my satay celup bites!

This is the stall selling the satay beehoon @ Bugis food court. They normally sell it together with squid kangkung which we could find back home here...

Ok, am going to Singapore next weekend. Hooray!

Our local kopitiam

2010-01-10T20:56:00.006+08:00

I am glad that Malaysia has many nice eateries around, be it high end or economical. We are never tired of exploring good food around, and it does taste better with the right partner around =)

I have managed to explore 2 local kopitiam which has been around in town for many years, and i found the food to be awesomely delicious!

Jalan Ipoh kopitiam

the row of shop next to the mosque at Jalan Ipoh,

near Sungei Mas building, Jalan Ipoh

some local beverage for our brunch

Wantan Mee - RM4.30 (Medium)

I was actually quite surprised with the quality of this wantan mee. Springy noodle and the charsiew was quite tender. The most interesting part was they used pork lard! So this is their little secret for such a humble dish....

We went here twice and he ordered twice!

This kopitiam has a stall that sells Teochew style porridge and noodles, with ingredients such as lala, fish balls, and a few kinds of fish (MaYao, ikan bawal and etc)

I ordered MaYao noodle soup

RM10.50

Like this very much, very clear soup, sweet as well, and i doubt whether they added any oil in it!

Fish meat was fresh too....

Very suitable for girls on diet like me...haha....

Restoran Mee Yoke Lim @ Chow Yang SS2, PJ

Busy saturday with big crowds around

The famous Prawn Mee - RM4.00
Right kick of spiciness in the soup, and thick broth as well
But overall was a normal Prawn noodle for both of us.....
nothing extraordinary indeed....

There is a stall selling Penang Char Kuay Teow and we decided to try, and it turned out to be a right decision!
RM4.00
Huge shrimp, full of wok-hei...the right Penang version that we seldom see in town...
I am definitely giving thumbs up for this!

Craved for popiah so i ordered this, and the minimum order is 2 pieces, at RM1.50 per piece!
A very good tactic in doing business ehh?
But it was only averageeeeeeeeee!

I know there are many good local kopitiam around which serves good and affordable foods...will definitely explore it!

New York New York deli @ One Utama

2010-01-10T20:00:00.001+08:00

Bumped into this restaurant while spending the quality time in One Utama. I know this eatery is quite famous down south but this was the first time i have seen in KL...We were eager to try it out mainly due to its attractive interior design....

Lemonade - RM6.50

Mushroom cappucino - RM6.90

Lemonade was good but prefer it to be a bit more citrus fizzy

Mushroom soup was so-so, tasted something like the one from can

Tower Onion Rings - RM7.50

I thought they would have served in tower design!

This was perfect, very crispy. The accompanied sauce tasted something like peanut butter though....

Cape-Style Fish & Chip - RM16.90

This is the most famous order of the restaurant but i personally found it to be average only

The outer layer was too thick albeit was real crispy, and the fish meat was not fresh in my humble opinion...

Oh ya, the salad and chips tasted much more better than the main....haha!

Juicy Burger Supreme - RM16.50

We wanted to order medium rare for the meat patty but the waiter told us they only do it well done!

So the burger came out to be unsatisfactorily done!

We were definitely not satiafied with what was served but eventually still finish it la.....

Thumbs up to the fries anyway...haha!!!

Any second chance? I bet so for the short period...

Credit should be given to the outlet manager though, as we have complained to him on the doubt that we had on the food that we intended to order. Apparently he explained to us politely and gently on the specific reason and i was satisfied....

I wonder how the Singapore version taste like ~~~

Village Park @ Damansara Uptown - Best Nasi Lemak in town!

2010-01-10T17:03:00.002+08:00

I have promised to bring the special one to try our local nasi lemak before, so that he can compare the difference between ours and Singapore. Apparently he gave a rather good comment to the one that i brought him during his previous visit to town during Xmas holiday - Village Park @ Damansara Uptown...

I ordered Cucumber + sour plum juice which did not come cheap

RM4.00

Sourish and appetising...

A very good beverage to wash down the meal at the end...

The signature - Nasi Lemak

added beef rendang

RM6.10

I am not a fans of nasi lemak but i can truly say that this is the best among in town

Rice which is just nice, not too dry nor mushy

Crispy anchovies and crunchy peanuts

Sambal with the right kick of sweet and spicy....

Beef rendang with tender meat....

A perfect combination for a good nasi lemak...

I opted for Nasi dagang with chicken rendang

RM6.70

Very fragrant rice and i like the rendang gravy very much

Not sure how to describe, just perfectly wonderful for a simple meal...

We ordered Ayam goreng berempah to share

I found this fried chicken drumstick to be amazing!

Simple meal...truly DIVINE!

Village Park

Restoran LYJ @ Sungei Buloh

2010-01-07T23:03:00.002+08:00

We went hiking at FRIM during Xmas day and headed to Sungei Buloh for lunch at this famous restaurant after that, which means all the calories burn were restored back...haha.... The boss/chef of LYJ restaurant has won many culinary awards and featured in many newspapers/magazines and even Ah Xian Food show....

This restaurant is famous for its "Pun Choy" and many other delicacies, and was featured in many floggers' blog too

Petai "Kam Foong" fish

This is very damn syok! Like the gravy very much...a bit sweet and sour coupled with the petai...at least i could not find the same dish elsewhere...

Japanese tofu with minced meat

Average, they added in the "choy pou" which is something different

does this look like white rice with soya sauce???

the sauce is actually 猪油！

猪油捞饭..what a sinful rice! But it is really worth the try...very fragrant!

Another signature dish

Poached paku pakis and mixed with lemon sauce

Very appetising and crunchy...and we could see that every table ordered this as well....

Steamed chicken...

We didn't like this dish...found it to be so-so only...

This BBQ Pork (Char Siew) is divine!

Just melted in our mouth....a perfect combination of the fat and lean portion ...

~ Yum Yum ~

We can either order white rice or porridge to go with the dishes...

A feast that fed 5 of us...only at RM105!

The battle of Hong Kong Desserts ~ Tin Pan GoGo vs Honeymoon Desserts ~

2010-01-03T23:18:00.008+08:00

The special one was in town for the past 2 weekends and one of our favourite past times was desserts time ie 糖水时间... haha... We have tried 3 famous desserts shop in town ie KTZ, TinPan GoGo and Honeymoon Desserts, and numerous occasions been made to TinPan GoGo as well. Am not going to comment on KTZ since it has been established for many years in town and i have blogged about it before. Am going to comment on the 2 HongKong desserts shop that have made its presence in the market these 2 years....

TinPan GoGo

No36, Ground Floor, Jalan SS2/63, Petaling Jaya

They have branches in other areas as well

白果腐竹薏米- RM4.00

The foochok already been dissolved completely, generous amount of ginkgo provided too.

Not too bad but a bit sweet to my liking...

核桃露 + 汤圆 (Walnut sweet soup + glutinous ball) - RM7.00

The glutinous ball was perfect with the sesame fillings but the walnut sweet soup was too sweeeeeet! Or am i not used to this sweet soup?

花生糊 Peanut sweet soup - RM5.50

Rich, creamy, aromatic

Good ~~

炖木瓜雪耳红莲 Double boiled papaya with white fungus - RM7.00

Refreshing!

Their signature Mango HorFun - RM8.00

Coconut flavoured jelly wrapped with mango

Juicy and meltingly soft ~~

杨枝金露 Mango with pomelo sweet soup - RM6.00 (Small)

Good but the pomelo a bit bitter la..... apparently i found it a bit pricy for such a small bowl

Behind was the Taufoofar+Almond sweet soup, which he found the combination a bit weird and i hate the taste of almond sweet soup!

My Honeymoon Desserts

No. 141, Jalan Rimbunan Raya 1, Laman Rimbunan Kepong (same row as Public Bank Kepong)

Other outlets in Sunway Pyramid and One Utama

I like their tagline

Sweet potato soup - RM4.00
Sweet potato boiled until very soft but the sweet soup was extremely "hot" with the ginger taste!

Marble Soy bean curd - RM6.00
Taufoofar with a hint of sesame...something new worth to try

Double boiled papaya with white fungus - RM7.00
Similar to the one by TinPan GoGo

I personally feel that the pricing by these 2 desserts house is a bit steep, but they do really provide a rather good service and a lot of varieties of desserts provided, just like the way i have seen during my visit to Hong Kong. Definitely will go back for more desserts!

Early Xmas + Food Hunt @ Singapore

2009-12-14T12:28:00.002+08:00

Spent another amazing weekend in Singapore again..this time managed to hunt for more great foods and experienced the dazzling wonderful xmas lightup!! Let's start off with the glorious food hunt......

~~ Changi Airport ~~

I grab something for lunch before headed to city upon arrival in Changi. There's a food centre at Terminal 3 which serves a lot of local foods. Decided to have something light so i ordered this...

Fish sliced beehoon - SGD4.50

I expected something normal but it turned out to be great!

The soup was clear and very sweet by the time i first sipped on it...generous amount of fish slices and it's soft and fresh too....

Definitely a great place for some decent meal in airport....

~~ Citylink, City Hall MRT Station ~~

The Coffee Conneuisseur a.k.a TCC

Got some time to kill before dinner so grabbed my coffee at TCC

I know this cafe serves a variety of "artistic" coffee so decided to try it out...

Ordered a latte with azuki beans (ie red beans)..very good experience ... surprisingly azuki was blended well with the latte..creamy yet lovely ~~

~~ Chinatown = Niu Zhe Shui ~~

Special request to the special one - bring me to try the Frog Porridge...

So we went to Chinatown to try this famous delicacy...

Kung Po Frog - SGD 8 (only 1 frog in the claypot ehh...)

Braised tofu - SGD3.00. Plain porridge per bowl - SGD1.20. Fried "Tai Cheong" and Yaocharkwai - forgot the price.

The rule of eating this is to mix the Kungpo sauce with the porridge, and it has to be that way as the porridge was really plain and no taste...haha....

But this is a very nice combination i should say, although i mumbled that the SINGLE portion of frog was way too little....only got a few tiny morsels of it...

The other side dishes were very good as well...braised tofu was soft and flavorful, fried Taicheong was crispy and best eaten with the porridge too...

~~ Chinatown Food centre, Smith street ~~

This stall got a long q so i followed and try it...

Mix of yam cake+cheecheongfun - SGD2.00

This was good, coupled with the sweet and spicy sauce...something different with KL version

Fish slice porridge - SGD 3.00 - a bit letdown cos it tasted "fishy"....

Such a long q for this...SGD1.50

I like the way they mixed with the fried tiny anchovies and peanuts...very aromatic!

Glutinous rice was perfectly sticky too....

"Shui Kweh" - SGD1.00 for 4 pieces

Simple delicacy made from water and rice flour...eat it with the fried "choy pou" and chili....

Very savoury...i even mixed the choy pou with the fish porridge and it tasted better this way!

~~ Sim Lim Square Food Centre ~~

I readed some blogs and know that Sim Lim square apart from being a place selling IT stuff (something like our Low Yat Plaza), its food centre is famous for some local foods as well, such as this stall selling minced meat noodle....

What makes it special is the slice of abalone that they thrown in...that's why it's called Abalone Bak Chor Mee - SGD4.00 per bowl

I tried this with great expectations after seeing the long q and the articles pasted at the storefront, but ended up disappointed!

The noodles were so bland, seasoning was not my fave too....

I heard it's used to be a good one but maybe the quality has deteriorated...

~~ Selegie Road ~~

This is the very famous Taufoofah and soya bean in the island...

Taufoofah was smooth and it melted easily too...

Soya bean was ok as well....

They have a few branches in the island but not sure where exactly...

~~ MOS Burger @ Scotts Isetan ~~

Finally got my craving for MOS Burger answered...

Always heart their rice burger version and this time i ordered Unagi rice burger

As expected, moistful, juicy and delicious rice burger ever!

~~ Chinatown ~~

Had some desserts at night at Chinatown

Sago pomelo with mango - SGD3.50

Black sesame tongsui - SGD2.50

Bak Chang - SGD - 4.00

Everything was good i would say...the desserts were not too sweet, just the right sweetness that we liked it. The bakchang was aromatic with generous chunks of walnut, yellow bean and pork.

~~ Hong Lim Food Centre ~~

Queue again!!!!!

Queue for this!

Raisin cheese bun - SGD 1.30 per piece

Soft and irressitable...can't really stop after the 1st bite!

Tai Hwa's Minced meat noodles ie Mee Pok (or Bak chor mee??) is one of the most famous in Singapore, and it was really indeed a lot more different from the one that we tried at Sim Lim food centre...Just look at the few awards cert that they show in front of the stall...

Now i know the secret behind the Bak chor mee is the vinegar that they mixed in, never eat something like this other than Loh Mee. Noodles were QQ, ingredients were fresh (they only cooked the minced meat when orders made), soup was slurpingly delicious...

At SGD 5 for a big bowl version, we got extra home-made dumplings and meat balls which i liked very much!

A good and satisfying bowl of noodles before i departed from the island....

Ok, that's all about food. What is Xmas in Singapore without the Xmas tree and lightup?? Let's see their amazing decorations!

Outside Suntec City Mall

Outside Suntec City Hall

So happen i never take a picture with Singapore Merlion so i dragged him to bring me there... :P

Fun Taipei Tea Cafe @ SS2

2009-12-06T21:19:00.001+08:00

Having heard of Fun Taipei Tea Cafe, an eatery specialised in taiwanese cuisine. Their first outlet located at Pudu and a few others branches, 1 of the branches i know of is only at Wangsa Maju. Was cracking head on what to have for dinner with YE until she suggeted to try Fun Taipet at SS2, a newly opened outlet of this chain of restaurant....

Both of us have never visited this restaurant and so we decided to order something familiar....

蛤仔面线 - RM6.50

I seldom gave a bad comment about a particular food but this was a real let down....

Soggy and the oyster was so "lembik" and when i chewed it i really feel like throwing up!

Just finished the noodles without the oyster though...

Prefers the version served by Fong-Lye...

三杯鸡饭套餐- RM14.50

Came with soup, 2 side dishes, the main dish and a bowl of white rice

The 三杯鸡 was good...cooked in a very thick sauce with generous amount of 九层塔...sweet and yummy...

A better dish to outweigh the previous one...haha...

卤味拼盘 - RM13.00

A plate of braised 3 layer pork, tofu, egg and seaweed

Not too bad....

Located opposite McDonald, same row as Pelita Nasi Kandar

I personally feel that it's a bit pricy but this will be a rather good place for some 'yumcha' session...

Fullhouse @ Jalan Yap Kwan Seng

2009-12-06T20:28:00.001+08:00

First heard about Fullhouse Lifestyle Store and Cafe many months back. First outlet located at Ara Damansara, a place which is very crowded in my opinion....It has opened another outlet near my office at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng opposite the Old Town kopitiam. Not sure whether this is a new outlet or the first one in Ara Damansara is closed?????

Was very eager to try it out after knowing it has opened its door during end of November 2009. Not many people know it has opened by then so visitors were lesser...Fullhouse is famous for its cosy and "white-y" ambience...something like fairy tale....and i like it's environment which is very ideal for some chit-chat and get-together....

Was there with Sheng for dinner, both of us decided to have a light meal so we were sharing these...

Mushroom soup - RM8.90

Very rich in flavour and i like the strong hints of mushroom, it would be better if the soup is thicker!

Lavender Lemon Blended - RM6.90

Honey Milk Ice - RM5.90

The lavender lemon blended was very appetising, but a bit too sweet for me though....

Rome Salad - RM12.90

Crunchy salad with smoked salmon, but we felt that the salmon slice portion given was way too stingy...haha....

Club Sandwich - RM13.90

Toasted sliced bread with cheese, ham, vege and chicken strips

Quite a filling sandwich

Paid another visit here again for lunch with my other team member, opted to try their set lunch which range from RM13.90 - RM18.90, comes with mushroom soup, ice lemon tea, a main course and pastry....A very filling set lunch if you ask me!!!

Honestly their ice lemon tea was very very nice! And big glass too!

1 of the main course

Spaghetti......can't remember the name

A bit watery but tasted fine...no complain from TW

Another main course

Something cooked with dory fish

accompanied by mashed potato and some wild mushroom

Love the gravy very much...very gingery...

Dory fish was fresh and aromatic too....

The desserts - small pieces of cakes

We got macha, blueberry, chocolate and mango mousse

Not too bad but we were a bit too full to indulge on this....

It does provide car jockey service due to limited parking space available. FOC during opening period but not sure whether they will impose charges in future.... I am sure this place will become another favourite hang out place for our office mate ~~

KaKa Bakuteh @ Kepong

2009-12-04T22:17:00.005+08:00

I have been visiting this bakuteh shop since many years ago, but it has been many months since i last visited. Probably was afraid of the high calories and cholestrol of this awesome dish of truly malaysian! I went to this famous bakuteh shop of Kepong with a good friend of mine, who does not hesitate to "underwrite" the food due to over-ordering!

Bakuteh served in claypot, with 3 layer fatty pork, ribs and intestines

The soup was very rich and herbal, very flavourful

best served with white rice!

Yap Char Kwai to complete the bakuteh meal

Superb

Chinese wine chicken

This is the main dish that attracted me over here, the soup was just so awesomely perfect with the generous amount of chinese wine included...

Girls, this is really a very good dish for us...especially the particular day of the month... It can really warm your body...

Slurpp till the last drop ~~~

So much for only 2 of us

They do serve yam rice as well...

Altogether approximately RM50++....a bit pricy for only 2 of us but we just ordered too much!

Ka Ka Bakuteh is just located opposite Carrefour Kepong

I guess they are having a brisk business during this rainy season :P

Breakfast @ Imbi Market

2009-12-04T21:37:00.005+08:00

It was Fwu Sheng's last day in office today. We were in the mood (with ManMan of course!) for some nice breakfast and so we headed to Imbi Market for their nice and value-for-money breakfast. I have heard about the fame of this market which is very famous with its kopitiam and hawker breakfast. Finally managed to visit this morning...

It was a rainy morning and i did not get the chance to "tour" around the market to find out what is being offered. Let ManMan make the decision to order....

These were what we ordered

for the 3 of us

Like my coffee C very much...very smooth and with strong coffee taste too!

猪杂粥 from next stall

Look at how smooth the porridge is...with generous amount of ingredients, especially the fried 猪肠...aromatic!

I love this

Toasted bun with kaya and butter

The butter has already melted and absorbed into the bread by the time it reached our table

Soft and fluffy ~~

Very very delicious!

I always prefer toasted bun as compared to sliced bread ^_^

Chee Cheong Fun from next stall
the chee cheong fun itself was real good, accompanied with the sweet sauce and chilli...Yum Yum!
But the stuffed okra was a let down...very hard to bite la!

Operating a kopitiam from this little store....
It's a little gem...

This is 1 of the few kopitiam in the Imbi market, the other kopitiam is as crowded as this one....i heard business is better if not because of the rainy days....you can't even get a table during weekends!

I hope Fwu Sheng will not miss our local food too much! Well, i will definitely be back for more good foods!

Dear Fwu Sheng

2009-12-03T21:17:00.005+08:00

~~ Dear Fwu Sheng ~~

I believe it has been an amazing journey for you throughout the few years of you living in KL

It is definitely not easy for a single guy to be independent in a city without any family members around

You have managed to deal with it naturally with your happy go lucky character and many good friends around

Miss the time that we spent talking hours and sharing stories

Miss the time we hee-hee ha-ha together

Why does it take a minute to say hello and take forever to say goodbye??

Remembering the treats that you and the gang spent on me

Remembering all the laughters that we had together

Remembering all the obstacles that we went through together

Remembering all the joy and fun that we experienced together

Every goodbye makes the next hello closer

All the best in your future undertakings

God knows when we shall meet again!

Weekend Outing a.k.a Food Hunting !

2009-11-30T20:28:00.001+08:00

The special one was in town during last long weekend. Apart from the shopping, movie and concert that we went to, we had also tried out a few of new eateries and some of re-visit restaurants/shops....

Restoran Wei Sun

No.47, Grd Floor, Jalan 9/62A, Bdr Manjalara, Kepong

We were here for this - signature Liquor Loh Mee

RM13 - small portion

It was so famous because of the added liquor as compared to the normal version loh mee.

The gravy was very good, especially with the hint of liquor. But i found the noodles a bit too dull and there was not much ingredients given.... a few small abalone pieces and shrimps added in...that's all!

Snowy Tofu - RM12

Came in 4 pieces

Very good version of home made fried tofu, silky soft in the inside and crunchy outside,

dipped into the accompanied sweet & sour sauce...Yummy ~~~~

Another specialty - Crispy Salted Chicken

RM20

It was featured as their signature dish in newspapers review, but we felt it was way a bit salty...

Average

We were in the mood for some soup so we ordered this - Sai Yong Choy soup

RM3.80

The pot is very very small, but was laden with enough ingredients that made it sweet.

It took more than 20 minutes for this to arrive, which we think they might have ordered it from some other shops and sold it in their shops for some extra charges????

SS2 Fatty Duck Teochew Porridge

Same row as Kayu Nasi Kandar at Chow Yang SS2

RM20++
It was a rainy day...perfect for a good bowl of teochew porridge
We had the braised duck, mushrooms, salted vege, tofu, intestines and peanuts

This is good!
We like the braised sauce so much that we mixed with our plain white porridge
Duck meat was braised until tender and it has absorbed the secret sauce so perfectly!

I love this
Very chewy..QQ flavour
A good version of braised intestines that seldom we can find elsewhere...

Restoran Pan Heong
Batu Caves

Was here for this
"Wat Tan Hor" - RM12
We ordered their signature wat tan hor with ginger fish slices
I really like their gravy which was so thicky and with generous amount of eggs
Fish slices were fresh and the flat noodles were aromatic too!

This restaurant is famous for the porridge too and so we ordered Pork rib with century eggs porridge - RM7.80
Porridge was cooked until perfectly moist, with big chunk of pork rib and century eggs....
Definitely worth the money we paid for!

Restoran Yut Kee - Dang Wangi

He was craving for some chicken chop so we headed to this famous hainanese eatery for a good plate of this....

Chicken Chop - RM9.00

Very tender and juicy...like the gravy and the potato wedges very much...

Very nostalgic!

Pork chop - RM9.00

Similar condiments and gravy with chicken chop

I found the pork chop a bit normal and not that juicy as compared to the earlier, but he liked it though..... It came with 2 pieces of pork chop of which each size of the meat is comparable to the 1 piece of chicken chop....guess ordering pork chop here is more worthy???

Hailam Fried Noodles - RM5.30

Laden with some pork strips, sotong and PORK LARDS!

Something like hokkien mee but without the black soya sauce...

Very aromatic, got the "wok-hei"....but mind you it's a bit oily and high cholestrol because of the pork lard la.....

Super Noodle House - Sungei Wang Plaza

We were at Golden Triangle and visited this restaurant:

- he saw many patrons visited this eatery everytime he passed by so he wanted to try

- the last time i visited was more than 8 years ago, i still remember my dad used to bring us to this restaurant whenever we visited Sungei Wang Plaza when we were still in teenage years!

Roast Pork and BBQ Pork rice

RM9.00

The rice portion was very small, came with a medium portion of charsiew and siew yok...

Not too bad...the siew yok was a good combination of lean and fatty meat, charsiew was very Q and flavourful too!

艇仔粥 - RM7.00

Unsatisfied!

Not a good version of cantonese congee, not moist enough and it tasted so plain...i kept on adding the soya sauce to enhance the flavour...

Double boiled Pigeon soup - RM10.00

Very sweet! Whole pigeon with some chinese herbs...

All i can say is worth it...

Lotus root soup - RM8.30

See the wholesome of goodness in this little container...

Enjoyable to the last drop....

We spent quite a bit on the above, not mentioning some lunches/dinners that we went but i didn't manage to take photo...Well, i think it is not about the money... it is the precious time that we spent together that i feel is priceless.... Arghhh...gotta wait another 3 more weeks to see him again!

Margaret Drive Food Centre, Singapore

2009-11-29T22:10:00.005+08:00

Been wanted to explore the nice eateries around Singapore, be it local foodcourt or restaurants in malls. This was the 2nd time i was at Margaret Drive Food Centre. Been requesting the special one to bring me there again after hearing from him that there are many nice and affordable foods such as beef noodles, shanghai dumplings, chicken rice, popiah, claypot chicken rice (which i tried before) and so on..... Oh well, i was in Singapore during my long holiday break last month and only able to blog about it now! Haha....

This is the stall selling the famous popiah

Simple setup, managed by husband and wife

SGD1.20 per piece

Not bad. Not too dry. I like the taste!

Popiah skin is soft and supple, generous amount of ingredients (same ingredients that you could find in our local version popiah)....

Xin Ji Chicken Rice stall

Situated at the 2nd floor of the food centre. Very well known among floggers in Singapore. The stall is a bit aging, but this "age" will definitely added on to the better taste of foods served...

I am not an avid fan of chicken rice and i normally do not order chicken rice when i eat out. I was at this food centre during last visit for the claypot chicken rice and saw many patrons ordering this chicken rice...and i thought, why not give it a try when i am in Singapore again?

The experience of having chicken rice here was indeed wonderful. We ordered half chicken with 2 plates of rice, and managed to wallop it to the last piece! This version of chicken rice has got its own "kick". The aroma of the rice, the juiciness of the flesh, the generous amount of chilli and ginger paste provided.... Wonderful!

By the way, i was surprised as they do serve black soya sauce (the thicker type) for chicken rice in Singapore, and was told that it should be mixed together with the chili..but i found thid combination weird!

Overall a very good plate of chicken rice which i would recommend. It reminds me of the hainanese style of chicken rice...

~ Bali Vacation ~

2009-11-24T18:45:00.001+08:00

I miss Bali for many reasons....

White sandy beach @ Kuta

with views of bikini ladies and charming surfers :P

Plentiful of local handicrafts and dresses at reasonable price @ Ubud market

You gotta show your bargaining power skill !!

Local heritage site eg Tanah Lot and Uluwatu

Places of interest that you wish to step into.... You will be amazed with the scenery...

Beach just a stroll away from the resort we stayed

Good place for lazy bum!

Awesome sunset view

Grab your favourite t-shirts!

I saw every "gwai-lou" wearing the Bintang singlet!

Apart from sightseeing and beach "sun-burning", we also tried out some local foods and other cuisines offered in Bali....

The famous Made's Warong which is so hit among floggers. It offers both local Bali cuisines and western foods...

Our first beer in Bali

No one has come to Bali without trying the local Bintang beer.....

We had Gado-gado

Similar to Msia version of rojak. The peanut gravy is thicker and loaded with peanuts

A bit at the drier side, but overall fit my expectation....

Pork Satay!

Juicy and succulent but would prefer it slightly burnt

Nasi Campur special

Basically is like "chap-fan" in balinese style...some of the side dishes were great but some were not..

Average

I think the Bumbu Bali in Puchong serves a better version..haha....

Dinner is at this restaurant which is situated along Kuta street

Specialised in local duck cuisine

Another Bali specialties - Bebek Kunyit

Deep fried crispy duck

Really crispy..and it's fried to perfection too

I like the side dishes too...which is something like kangkung belacan

The accompanied local salad was a bit way too raw to my liking by the way....

Bebek Kuah Gerang Asem

Stewed duck in gerang asem spices

Not sure what is gerang asem but it tasted good! Something different as compared to our normal chinese way of cooking duck.... The soup tasted slurpingly sweet too....

Very filling breakfast from Bali Dynasty Resort

I miss their pancake very much!

How can we miss the famous Ibu Oka Babi Guling @ Ubud

Crispy pork skin, soft flesh...comes with intestine roll...

I personally found this dish to be nothing extraordinary but it would definitely fit to be a must-try food in Bali due to its name "Babi Guling" - like the pig is being "guling guling"....haha...

Well, overall it's still a pretty decent dish worth a try....

Sunset dinner at Jimbaran

Every friend i asked about Jimbaran, they will say "Go one time enough already!"

Oh well, i have the same idea too...

The seafood dish is overpriced and nothing spectacular, normal grilled stuff....but people is flocking there (especially first timer) just for the sake of experiencing the nice environment....

As i mentioned, 1 time with your dear one is really enough...don't think you want to burn a hole in your pocket for the second time unless you are willing to do so!

Our last dinner opposite the place we stayed

Nice pizza, but the crust was a little bit of letdown la....

Thumbs up for the salmon fettucini though ~~~

Bali is a paradise if you ask me....there is so many more for us to explore. We will definitely be back soon!

Lunch @ Ah Yat Abalone Restaurant

2009-10-21T21:48:00.002+08:00

Never thought that i would have lunch at Ah Yat Abalone Restaurant and i got to pay for it...haha...well it was the lunch treat for the managers in my group, shared among the promoted managers...Decided to go Ah Yat since it's near to our office and it's a nice restaurant serving good food too....

We ordered 2 lunch set (1 was dim sum set) which cater for 4 pax each, we were 6 *wink* . It cost RM88++ per set and after all the titbits, tea and etc etc, the bill came to RM276.....

~ What we had on the lunch ~

My all time favourite

Fried carrot cake

Like the fluffy egge strips and the "wok-hei"

Century egg congee

Smooth

Poached Kai Lan

Crunchy ehh...

Assorted roasted items - bbq pork, roasted duck and roast pork

Roasted duck was good but the others were just ordinary...

Prawn salad

Normal fried stuff

Peking duck

Yummy Yummy!

Very nice wrap skin and also the peking duck...

Siu Mai, Har Gao, Claypot vege and Beancurd skin dumpling

Har Gao was especially good, succulent and huge shrimp!

Carrot soup

Very refreshing!

Traditional style of cantonese soup

Not sure what's the name of this fried rice but it was hell yummy!

Generous amount of ingredients, rice clearly defined...

Good!

Steam fish, the waitress served to us separately

Not that flavourful, only normal

Overall i think Ah Yat is a rather good place for business lunch and formal dinner....sometimes it's Abalone set deal is pretty worth to try too....

Weekend Getaway @ Singapore - Glorious Food Hunt!

2009-10-20T00:28:00.002+08:00

Spent the last weekend in Singapore, and was brought around for nice foods! One thing that is special about Singapore is is has very unique food court/hawker centre which sells nice and affordable foods and beverages, cater mostly to HDB folks. Different hawker centre has its own famous specialties, and sometimes there are a few nice eateries under same roof....just couldn't have the big stomach to try all...keep the craving for next visit =)

Changi Village Hawker Centre

Started off with sugar cane juice + lemon - SGD1.20

More refreshing with the zest of lemon....

Mizzy's Corner Nasi Lemak

SGD4 (with otak-otak)

Everyone in Singapore seems to claim that the best nasi lemak in town is in Changi Village, and Mizzy Corner is 1 of the best.

Contrary to M'sia nasi lemak, this one does not have peanut accompanied. Nevertheless, it has the standard condiments like ikan bilis, cucumber, egg and the most important - sambal.

I like the sambal here, sweet and savoury, but still lack the level of spiciness that i love...tak cukup pedas!

The fried chicken was well marinated and very crispy too...

Rice wise, very fragrant and flavourful ~~~

Fried Chai Tau Kway 菜头粿

From 1 of the stall in the hawker centre

Very different way of cooking method for this carrot cake. Basically only eggs and 菜圃 added, and they like to mix with black soya sauce. A pretty amazing dish if you ask me, at least the taste is slightly different with Malaysia style which has more ingredients like taugeh....and enough "wok-hei"!

Took a stroll along the Changi beach. Apparently this is the best place to view airplane since it is very near to Changi airport....a very good place to hang out, dating and wondering at the plane if you are moody...haha....

Toa Payoh Lor 1 Hawker Centre

Tian Tian Lai Fried Hokkien Mee
Featured in many newspapers, mags and tv shows.
I think this is Singaporean's most favourite dish.

SGD 4
It didn't look appealing, but it smelled tempting!
Noodles were well fried, with rightful amount of "wetness" that has got it's oomph!
Strips of prawns and squids only served as garnishing. Expect to get pork lards here too! Probably this is why it tasted so good ehh?
A satisfying plate of hokkien mee, accompanied by the sambal belacan to complete this gastro delight ~~~
Now i feel the Tyhe Cheong Prawn Hokkien Mee in Pavilion is just ordinary.....haha....

Mr Bean
Got this around Toa Payoh MRT Station
With many types of filling, i chose peanut filling...
Very fluffy, best eaten while hot...
The pancake version that i love....

Margaret Drive Food Centre @ Mcpherson

Huge crowd at Level 2 of this food centre, with majority of it waiting anxiously for Tai Liok Claypot Chicken Rice. We waited for more than half hour for this claypot rice as they only start to cook from scratch when order is received....

Similar to M'sia, this eatery does sell double boiled soup too.

We ordered Old Cucumber soup and Chicken feet with peanut soup.

While the old cucumber soup was perfectly refreshing, the chicken feet soup was a bit thicker as the peanut was already boiled until very soft....

Waited so long for this....

We were given the oil and dark soya sauce to put by ourself according to our liking.

Honestly, i didn't see any specialty in this claypot rice. Although generous amount of chinese sausages were included, i felt it tasted a bit plain.

Probably been used to M'sia version that is cooked together with dark soya sauce....

Telok Blangah Food Centre near Harbourfront

Hong Ji Mian Shi Jia

Good food need queuing

SGD 3 (smallest plate is SGD2.50)

This wanton mee is translucent and really thin. A bit similar to Hong Kong version wanton mee, although not exactly the same.

Sauce was a bit oily to my liking, but it was hell very appetising, especially with the accompanied chili.

Charsiew was juicy and succulent enough, and was told that it was home-made using charcoal oven.

Wanton was a let down. Full of wanton skin with little mince. Probably the owner does not want to focus on this wanton la....

Had a short walk at this nearby Telok Blangah Hill Park, a hidden gem in Singapore i would say...

Looks like a reserve forest to me....

It has a connecting bridge linking the small hill from Telok Blangah Hill Park to another hill in the opposite.

It's an alternative place to go hang out at night too...can expect nice view of Singapore harbourfront...

Vivo City Harbourfront

I miss Pacific Coffee ever since i tried it in Hong Kong.

The coffee taste just suit to my liking...

When are they venturing into KL someday???

Had an early dinner at Han's before i catched my flight back to KL.

Heard that it is a Hainanese concept restaurant so being a hainanese myself has decided to give it a try...

But we were so disappointed....

We ordered Hainanese Pork Chop and Chicken Chop set

Served together with drinks, soup and fruits at SGD10.90 per set

We strictly felt that it does not worth the cent!

Chicken chop was just ordinary, nothing special. Given the price, i would expect a good bargain in getting a value-for-money steak at Aston.

Hainanese Pork Chop

More like a sweet & sour pork chop to me

The gravy did not look like the version that we used to see here eg at Yik Kee Dang Wangi.

The Pork Chop was re-fried (which we seen by ourself), which made it a bit hard to bite....

Were totally not satisfied.

Given many outlets that it has opened in Singapore, i do not understand why it has still attracted many patrons. Probably different outlet different quality....

By the way, their pastries look tempting. May try it next time though....

Oh well, when is the next Singapore food hunt? Anticipating ^_^

Hi Tea @ Jogoya

2009-10-16T00:08:00.002+08:00

Was on my 1 month holiday break until early November....hehe....got to know that Jogoya is having a promotion for ladies, the second ladies only need to pay RM19.90++. So i drag Esther who is on holiday too to have our feast! We went during hi tea which is from 2pm to 4.20 pm. Altogether was only RM101, ie approx RM50 per pax. I think this is at a steal given the foods served that are the same with dinner time. I think i do not need to blog more about Jogoya anymore since many would have visited this famous buffet Japanese restaurant. Let's see what we had....

Thai coconut which is a must!

Oysters!

Assorted sashimi
I wallop a lot of salmon which i think it will costs more than RM50 if we had it outside...hehe...

Ebi Tempura
How can me miss this

We just love their assortment of desserts and the coffee

The cheese cake is great!

Haagen Dazs unlimited refill of ice cream!

Satisfied!

Worth every single cent!

Time for more exercise after the indulgence...haha....

Charn Kee Tasty Corner @ Jalan Alor

2009-10-15T23:48:00.002+08:00

Was supposed to bring the special one to try the famous Meng Kee Char Siew at Tengkat Tong Shin. Unfortunately it has been relocated to Jalan Alor next to Hotel Nova, and it was closed on the Saturday that we went. No choice so we hunted for nice food around Jalan Alor and we bumped into Charn Kee Tasty Corner, which i remembered it was featured in a particular good guide.

This eatery has been established for almost 19 years. Really couldn't notice it as it only opens for breakfast and lunch, and Jalan Alor most happening time is at night...

Claypot Seafood Noodles - RM5 +

Comes with the handmade fish paste and prawns....

Claypot Fish Paste Kuayteow soup - RM5+

Similar to the earlier version, i found the soup is real clear and suits to my liking. The soup is very fragrant and blends perfectly with the kuayteow.

Handmade fish paste is silky smooth, and 爽口

~ Superb ~

We ordered side orders too

Special homemade Pork Meatballs and Dumplings

RM0.80 each

Dumplings are just normal but the pork meat balls are something worth trying....

They also serves many other types of noodles such as nyonya curry noodles which is claimed to be very delicious too...
Maybe can try in next visit....
Definitely an eatery worth visiting

Add: 35 Jalan Alor, 50200 KL.

Opening hours: 7.30 am - 4.30 pm (closed every Monday)

Weekends at Singapore

2009-10-15T00:38:00.001+08:00

Was at Singapore during early August before the China assignment. Spent the Singapore long weekend with the special one. It was their public holiday in conjunction with its National day. It has been long since i last visited Singapore. Walked to many places and i actually fell in love with the architecture design of the buildings in Singapore....

If i'm not mistaken, this place is called Chjimes

An old school that is converted into a hang out place at night, with many restaurants and pubs inside...what a good idea...

Art Musuem? Is a musuem la....

so nice

Clarke Quay at day...overlooking Boat Quay at opposite

Ion Orchard

New shopping mall at Orchard

Awesomely beautiful. When KL can have such design leh?

Clarke Quay at night

Happening area

Fullerton Hotel

I think is the most expensive hotel in Singapore. Imagine staying here for a night...hehe...

Enough of sightseeing photos. Let's move on to foods!

Had the traditional toast set in Changi airport upon arrival. Ya Kun is claimed to be very famous Kopitiam chain in Singapore, but i personally found it to be so-so only...

He brought me to this famous Hainanese Curry Rice Shop

Why is it called Scissor Cut Curry Rice? Just because the foods are being cut using scissors eg pork chop, vege and etc...

I wonder why every eating place in SG also need to queue la....

As a hainanese myself, i never know that Curry Rice is a hainanese specialty. Basically we just pick up the dishes like stew pork, prawn fritters, pork chop, egg and vege, then they will cut it, and the most important is the curry. The rice will be flooded with the curry gravy, the more the better....

Seriously i never seen this in KL....it is something like mixed rice that we used to have here, the only difference being the overflow curry gravy....

Buffee breakfast served at Ibis Hotel

Not too bad, at least they served bacon =)

We went to Aston Specialties, a steak house that specialises in steak at a reasonable price

Rib eye and Tenderloin

We can choose 2 side dishes according to our preference

The steak was very very juicy and tender. Cooked to perfections...

Awesome

Satisfied steak meal i had

We also went to Lao Pa Sat

The very famous Singapore Food court, famous to tourist not locals....

I found that the stalls here to be pretty normal, and very commercialised too...

Nothing special to have here since i found other food court serves better food, so he ordered claypot fish porridge which turn out to be surprisingly yummy ~~~

There is a long row of stalls in Lao Pa Sat selling sates...

You will be automatically greeted and wooed by the waiters as you enter into this sate zone...

Sate is not too bad by the way...but as a Malaysian, still think our local sate taste better!

Got the opportunity to watch the beautiful fireworks in conjunction with Singapore's National Day celebration....it has been long since i watch the fireworks directly...

That ended my Singapore weekend trip. Am going over this coming weekend too....woohooo ~~~

Sun Foong Bakuteh @ Imbi

2009-10-14T20:48:00.002+08:00

Brought the special one to try our local bakuteh ("BKT"). Just to let him compare and see whether KL or Singapore's BKT is more delicious. We were at Pavilion on a particular weekend so the nearest BKT place would be Imbi area. Was planning to go Yuk Yat BKT but no idea where it has shifted, we diverted to Sun Foong BKT instead....

I always noticed this BKT place is packed with tourist. Guess they have special package/plan with travel agency. This shop has never been my favourite BKT place due to its pricing, but it has been many years since i last visited so finally decided to settle our dinner there....

Tofu pok

A standard accompaniment in any BKT

The signature BKT

RM23 for this pot

A mixture of pork and the "spare parts"

Soup was rich, thick and very herbal. And we can get refill of the soup as well...

Not disappointing

Ordered a plate of stir fried Yau Mak to go with the BKT

The meal costs us approximately RM40-50, inclusive of chinese tea.

I think is a bit pricy for BKT, probably this shop is more focus towards tourists rather than locals...

Still prefer Teo Chew style BKT that i tried in Kepong before and the price is very reasonable too. Gonna bring him there next time... hehe....

Daorae Korean Restaurant

2009-10-14T20:18:00.002+08:00

Had a good Korean dinner with my good friend last Monday. Am travelling to Korea soon so has started to crave for Korean cuisine...haha... We headed to Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant in Kepong, a Korean restaurant chain that has a few branches in KL and PJ....

Has a wide selection of BBQ items

Like the tatami style dining area. Great to ease ourself

Seaweed soup to start the meal

Ordered Kimchi soup too - RM18

Comes with a bowl of rice

Very thick soup, laden with generous amount of ingredients such as vege and tofu.

Always heart this soup. My must order everytime i go Korean restaurant

A variety of kimchi starter

Next to it was Pork ribs BBQ - RM35

The ribs after it's cooked!

Very tender and juicy, well marinated.

Wrap it together with the lettuce that is served complimentary, and dip into the accompanied sauce....Yummy ~~~~

BBQ Squid, before and after

RM28

Flavoursome. This is really good....

Korean seafood pancake - complimentary too

Not too starchy, nice to be eaten with the sweet sauce

~ The aftermath ~

Only 2 of us

My good old friend

Always have lotsa things to chat about

He's getting married soon!

~~ Wishing you a bless marriage with your loved one and may you live happily ever after ~~
