Pasir Pinji, 兵如港 - Ipoh, Perak

2008-12-21T16:55:00.000+08:00

I was outstation to Ipoh for a business trips. Besides business of course not to mention, looking for good place and good foods to share with you all.....

This is the famous 'Ji Le Tong', a historical buddisht temple and of course a tourist point...

Collegues requested to visit this temple first before going for lunch. They are faithful Buddhist, of course i won't dissapointed them.

Look ! a lot of fish in the lake.

After visited to the temple, we headed to the Ipoh famous Food court at Pasir Pinji.

Local Ipoh people named this place as 'Tai Su Dao' meaning 'Big Tree'... is located at Pasir Pinji, Ipoh. And i think they named it as Tai Su Dao because the place is covered by some of the big trees......

This is what people called "Pang Tai Wun", Green Herb, If anyone went to Betong , Thailand, might heard about this.

Icy fruits mixed, people who comes here, will definitely order this item. Girls favorites!

Their famous foods are 'Yong Tau Foo' they fried everything on the spot, therefore fresh, hot and crispy. You can pick either fried or soup.

Besides Yong Tau Foo, they also served fried noodles, curry laksa and asam laksa....

Any plan to visit Ipoh this holiday??? Must drop by this place and try the foods here...

The famous Fish Mee Hoon (蕉赖四楼湖滨鱼头米粉)

2008-10-02T13:57:00.004+08:00

I love fish head meehoon but it is hardly to find a delicious bowl of it. I am addicted to this 蕉赖四楼湖滨鱼头米粉 after the first tried at Desa Water Park. As i know, there are few brances, namely Desa Water Park, Seri Kembangan and also the main one at Jalan Cheras. For more details, please search from google.com :)

Used to drive all the way down to Desa Water Park for this fish head meehoon. It was always in the very packed condition and we need to share the table with the others. Nonethess, it was quite far distance from my house. Luckily during my previos job, my former colleague told me that there was a superb fish head meehoon around Seri Kembangan. So without hestitate, I head to there on a sunday morning. Out of my expectation, it is the same one as in Desa Water Park. I was so excited as i can have it anytime i want and without need to travel a long journey.

These definitely cannot be left out

RM 6.00 per bowl. You can choose either Fried Fish Head, Raw Fish Head or Mix of Fish Paste. (Strongly recommened to go for Fried Fish Head + Fish Paste)
Got to know from the newspaper report, the meehoon was handmade. Wont swell after absorb the soup.

Can you see that Big Fish Paste? I love it

Yee Mee version is also available.

Trust me, so far this is the best fish head meehoon in the town. I can finish the whole bowl even the soup as i like salty vegie too :)

p/s: to Alvin, as I never try your mum's stall fish head meehoon, so this is the best for me. I might change my perception once i try aunty's cooking.

Baked Cheese Potato

2008-09-14T23:33:00.009+08:00

Had been ages since the last post. Reasons were because there is no special or new dishes to be proud of and also getting lazy to blog. Anyhow, recently i was motivated to have new post after reading and browsing through the best sista blog. She just happen to have a quite similar blog,

www.wretch.cc/blog/cuisineworld

http://www.cuisineworld.blogspot.com/.

I admire her cooking, baking or either sewing skill and definitely i am proud of you, Net.

I have nothing but a very simple yet delicious and fattening Baked Cheese Potato to start after a long lost post. I am not fancy to potato but i am addicted to KFC Cheese Potato Wedges. Since there is still no recipe for the cheese sauce as the one use in KFC, thus i replaced it with mozzarella cheese and dipping with mayonnaise (as it is going to expiry soon :P).

The next i going to explore is Baked Stuffed Potato. Oh ya, Oven is a very good kitchen helper :)

Hanabi Japanese Restaurant - Jalan Perak

2008-09-06T15:20:00.001+08:00

Hanabi Japanese restaurant is located at Jalan Perak, KL… don’t know where is Jalan Perak? It located right opposite the beach club, Thai bar or another entrance which right opposite the Modesto.

We started with Sake Sashimi (RM32). It was excellent and fresh. The quality of the food served and the freshness of the ingredients were really good.

Hanabi No.1 Special (RM 28) 2 pieces per serving. Made from avocado, Unagi wrapped with snapper fish with baked cheese and Hanabi special sauce.. Taste really good that i cant express it by words but i assure you'll like it...

Nana Harumaki (RM 28). To avoid too much intake of rice i decide to order this. It was sushi of soft shell crab with spicy sauce and raw tuna, had a unique taste, which combined a creamy and spicy sauce together with crunchy crab.

Hanabi Special Roll (RM28). This is something like a Hanabi No.1 except it not wrapped with snapper fish... A 2nd choice if you think that Hanabi No.1 is too pricey.

I barely recall what they call this fish.. i think it sound something like Ipothai (RM40). They claimed the fish was freshly delivered from Japan and not available all the time so we decided to have a try... Honestly it look not so appetizing but in fact the flesh taste sweet and the sauce give a unique taste to the fish..

Ika Geso Fried (RM15) - fried calamari. Taste okay but nothing special...

Ishiyaki Gyoya Chanplu (RM18) - Bittergourd in hot stone bowl. They actually cook this in front of you. Its real HOT, so beware as it will burn your tongue.. something unique if you are fans of bitter gourd.

Eringi Ninniku Yaki (RM26). I like the way they present the dish. The mushroom taste nice too... tender and flavorful.

Agedashi Tofu (RM12). Nothing special bout this Tofu in fact i think it doesnt taste so nice ... but again it my personal opinion.

We ended our dinner with Matcha aisu kurīmu (Green tea ice cream with red bean paste). This was free from the supervisor...

I definitely recommend checking out Hanabi if you haven’t and I do look forward for another seating at Hanabi...

The ambiance is nice and cozy; warm lighting, walls decorated with pictures and drawings of adorable piglets.

The complimentary tomato,pork sausages soup. A very good start...

Capri Salad (RM26.00). Mozzarella, Ham, Tomato on Garden Greens with Balsamico Dressing. Before start eating all the porkies i think we were very much in need of some greens.

Bouquerones (RM 19.50). Bacon stuffed with White Wine marinated Anchovies, fried in Olive oil served on Salad with Sauce Tartar.

Hickory Smoked Pork Soft Ribs (RM 45.00). Grilled in Spices, Fine Herbs, Chutneys & Rum. I love this the most, very very tasty. The meat is tender and not over-cooked... The sauce gave it a very distinct taste.

Marinated Pork Shoulder Steak (RM 39.50). Marinated for 48 hours with the Finest Paprika, Herbs, Onions,Garlic and Mild Dijon Mustard. The meat is cooked the perfection, juicy and superb.....

Finally a dessert to finish off the meal. The homemade raspberry sherbet (RM19.50). What’s in it? Well, the Werner’s Special - made up of chocolate mousse, fresh strawberries, mango puree, vanilla ice-cream and raspberry sherbet. This is a Must Try... A very refreshing dessert after all.

Overall the 2 Hot Dogs taste pretty good... It only RM 1.99, so what's more you asking for....

Yogur Berry - Berjaya Times Square

2008-08-14T18:21:00.001+08:00

The lactobacillus in yogurt feeds the intestines maximizes nutrients you can absorb into your body, insures the digestive system stays healthy, and stabilizes the immune system. The secret to good yogurt is that it contains live cultures. Therefore it a good dairy product for the tummy and health and can be further enjoyed with real fruits.

YogurBerry located at Berjaya Times Square, a brand of Korean origins; specialist in their Frozen Yogurt Ice Cream that features yogurt ice cream served with a choice of 28 toppings like fruits, chips, nuts and syrup - colorful, refreshing desserts yet minus the guilt of indulging in too much calories, sugar and fat.

The moment I stepped in, first things caught my attention was the ceiling catwalk featuring the “Yogur Berry” and the huge heart shape which made by roses…

Healthy and fresh desserts served in a cheery and comfortable ambiance where everyone can hang out and enjoy their yogurt desserts.

My dessert: A single ice snow yoghurt ice cream which is something like Malaysia's Ice kacang as it has shaved ice underneath with 3 toppings – red beans, mango and Lychee (RM11.90). It taste something like a McDonald vanilla twist – smooth but less sweet.

The second choice was the mini frozen yogurt ice cream with 3 fresh fruits toppings – dragon fruit, kiwi and strawberry (RM8.15)

Besides yogurt snow ice cream they also have Nemo Cake and Walnut Ball which are traditional Korean snacks made with red bean fillings. The Walnut Ball with a coating of crushed walnuts for a crunchier taste which smaller size compared with Nemo Cake.

During my visit, they have this promotion every RM10 spent entitle to a free shoot on the wheel... since my total bill was RM20.05 so I got to shoot twice... and what I got was (watermelon + banana + cornflakes) and (chocolate syrup + Chocó balls) but you can only claim this on your next visit :(

The last good thing about this Yogur Berry is it a free of government tax and service charge... HeHe

家家来BBQ & Roasted Pork - Cheras

2008-08-07T08:56:00.001+08:00

These days, I was craving for roasted and BBQ pork. Friends suggested going to this Jia Jia Lai Restaurant located at Peel Road; along the way toward Jaya Jusco Taman Maluri Cheras.

If I am not mistaken this is the only stall serving roasted and BBQ pork. Besides they also served roasted chicken, stew pork knuckles and chicken feet with herbs, Asam fish and vegetables. They only cater for lunch and crowd starting at 12:00pm and usually last for a couple hours.

They have not much choices on beverages, this is 1 of them. Taste okay though, not too sweet....Good for body heatiness.

Rice was cook to perfection. Peanuts soup and chili come with all these

Here comes our BBQ Pork (RM12 for portion of 2). Boss chopped the Char siew in big chucks; he said only then we can really taste it. The meat and fatty can completely melted in your mouth just in few second. I can’t believe there are such a great char siew served in town. . The taste and texture was great, sweet and very flavorful. It was really one of the best I’ve ever had…

The roasted pork (RM12 for portion of 2) is also chopped in big chunks. The pork skin is crispy, fat and meat are distributed clearly in layered and the meat is tender. It just so difficult to express how this roasted porks taste in words. You just simply have to try it to believe. It was really fantastic...

Steam Asam Fish (RM18). The fish is steam to perfection and the flesh is tender. Sauce is just nice, a little sweet and sour add more appetite...

Stew Pork Knuckle with herbs (RM 18) . We requested something less fatty and here's what we get...It was cook to very well done - which made them juicy, flavourfull, tender and firm. It was not in the least oily, which is often a problem with many serving places.

There are some free Chicken feet for deco but i did not tried. according to my friends, it taste really good and the gravy does have some fragent of the herbs not bad really....

This stuff is just that good and I go there again and again almost every weekend…

Fong Lye Taiwanese Restaurant - The Garden

2008-08-03T21:57:00.000+08:00

Taiwanese cuisine is almost similar to normal Chinese cuisine with somewhat difference sauces they use. Fong Lye is a Taiwanese Restaurant which has opened their latest outlet in The Gardens, Midvalley. I used to visit the one located at Desa Sri Hartamas. Always see crowd at this restaurant so decided to give this outlet a try....

Ice Lime Juice (RM6.30). Good for digetion but i think it little pricey....

Their famous appetizer Sweet Potato Ball (RM5.30). Everyone seems like ordering this so i plan to give it a try. It taste pretty good and it wasn't oily at all... Better than what I expected.

Their menu are mostly come in set so I decided to ordered Fresh Tomato Fried Eggs with Fish (RM19.80). It was served in the wok with the stove to make sure it hot enough. This is some sort like a sweet and sour fish to me but with fried eggs. Unique and tasty....

3 variety Supreme Diced chicken (San Pei Ji) - (RM19.80). This is a traditional specialty dish of Taiwan, and its named because of the 3 main sauces used to stew the chicken. The gravy has a wine fragent and they added some chinese type of basil leaves (Jiu Chen Ta) to give it a more aromatic taste. Absolutely good!!!

Side dishes include french beans, shimps puff, fried beancurds with Anchovies and bowl of rice with minced meats. French beans taste good, fresh and crunchy. The shrimp puff with mayonise taste ok too. The beancurds comes in small cubes and some kind of sweet & sour sauce on it very tasty indeed...I think the rice with minced meats really good on it own, in fact i can just have the rice...haha

Ice Red Bean Milk (RM7.30). Like this dessert even i have stuffed with all the foods. They really generous with red beans as there lots more underneath the ice....

In fact thier serving was quite big, i think 1 set will be just nice for two. Overall it was a good meal and worth the value.

Anything & Whatever

2008-07-30T09:57:00.002+08:00

I kept having ANYTHING or WHATEVER whenever we were out for gathering, a coffee shop or even at home. People keep telling us they just wanted anything or whatever whenever we asked what they wanted to drink, eat or even a place to go.

In these day, "ANYTHING" & "WHATEVER" is a beverage brand that newly launch in market. I think the concept of having this thought is really unique….:)

ANYTHING range features six uniquely effervescent carbonated soft drink flavors including cola, cola with lemon, apple, fizz up, cloudy lemon and root beer.

WHATEVER range comprises refreshing non-carbonated drink ice lemon tea, peach tea, jasmine green tea, white grape tea, apple tea and chrysanthemum tea.

So Is there anything or whatever that you always wanted to have? Now you can have anything and whatever you want… :)

Girls and guys out there... would you still say anything or whatever? If yes then what you get will be just a soft drink....hahaha

Ichiban Boshi - Pavillion KL

2008-07-25T21:32:00.001+08:00

Located at the Golden Triangle area, Ichiban Boshi Japanese Restaurant @Pavillion KL specializes in the famous Japanese dish, Appetizer, Soup, Rolls, Soba, Tempura, Sushi with varied topping such as seafood, mushrooms, eggs or meat and many more.

The outlook of Ichiban Boshi in Pavillion KL. The ambiance of the restaurant reminds me of traditional Japanese huts.

Houjicha (RM2.00). I ordered a green tea, instead of green it appear as brownish color. The waitress claimed that it a roasted green tea... what say you???

Salmon Sashimi (RM13.90). It was fresh, thinly sliced and beautifully arranged with shredded of daikon and shiso leaves.

Cold Tofu (RM2.00). Served without the bonito flakes..:(

This are taken from the conveyer belt... under red plate categories (RM4.00). I think this is quite special as seaweed is normally used in most of the Japanese restaurant but this is cheese and in fact the cheese is slightly baked.

Do you see this in any other Japanese restaurant?? It actually a normal tuna roll but covered with a layer of Tamago.... They really put an effort to decorate all the sushi.

Salmon skin with 2 different type of marinated topping.

Enoki Hoiru (RM12.90). Assorted mushroom cook in Aluminum foil with butter sauce. Taste really nice. Mushroom lover must try!!!

Ichiban Soba Wazen (RM27.90). This is a cold beef Soba set which comes with miso soup, small tofu side dish, prawn tempura, rice dumpling, and fruits. The Soba is good but the soup taste weird to me, cold and a little milky.. It my own preferences really.

Overalls he staffs are very friendly. The price offered by the restaurant is reasonable and suits all pockets.

Delicious - Bangsar Village II

2008-07-19T21:16:00.003+08:00

2 couples was craving for Mongolia's Buffet and drove all the way to the destination but too bad things doesn't always turn up as you wish all time. The restaurant were being occupied by a group of people for birthday celebration so they decided try out this Delicious in Bangsar Village II.

Delicious?????? I am wondering if the foods is delicious too.....

The times we walked past, it was as busy as it was when we came to sit down, but we only waited for a while to be seat. The environment is not those romantic type of lightening but definitely a good place for groups of friends to sit together and dine.

Hot Honey Lemon (RM5.90). A piece of cookies and honey is served aside so you can add sweetness based on your own preferences.

3 cold drinks which is
Mango Lychee Kaffier (RM9.90). The mixture of 2 different fruit gives a very special flavor to it. Mango smoothie (RM12.90) The smoothies is make of fresh mango taste good but it a lighter version would be better. Lemon Lime Biter (RM8.90) Refreshing drink and good for digestion after meals....

As for starter, we picked this Caesar Salad with Extra Smoked Salmon (RM29.90). You can also add chicken but we all preferred smoked salmon. A combination of vegetables, boiled egg white, crispy turkey and cheese. The vegetable is crunchy and the smoked salmon really add a flavor to it. What a perfect match....

Homemade Pesto (RM19.90). Spaghetti toasted with pesto and cheese looked deceptively plain but had a unique flavor. it is very filling, and would be great if they did an entree size.

Marscarpone Pesto Chicken (RM 39.90). Served with loads of pesto, asparagus and fried potatoes worth the price and effort. There are cheese tucked under the flesh packs some surprise for the dish ...

Seafood Sundried Fettucinni (RM24.90). Generous size of prawns and served in a heavy creamy sauce but i think a lighter version would be better...or maybe it just because we are too full after all the foods.... :->

Although we were pretty stuffed, we had to try the Strawberry Cheese Cake (RM11.90) and it were heavenly good.

The total of 10 items cost us RM186.40. Overall it was a very satisfying dinner for me. Service was friendly and professional - none of the old style feeling like you were putting the wait staff out by just being there.

Hot Soba. Taste just fine, nothing special...plus very small portion Haha

Beef Sukiyaki.... They have generous ingredients like beef, bean curd, vegetables and etc....

They have this Green Tea pudding but i do not have chance to try as they finished off real fast. I am little disappointed that they don't prepare enough.

They might not have lots of variety of foods like other buffet but overall, I thinks the food taste good and in good quality. The buffet cost RM45 per person. If you haven't been there, i think it worth trying...

Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant - Sri Hartamas

2008-06-19T22:54:00.000+08:00

I have been to a few Korean restaurants but I can vaguely remember one except Nak Won in Ampang. Hanging around in Sri Hartamas area looking for place to dine and saw this huge an authentic Daorae Korean BBQ restaurant.

It located near the main road, they occupied 2nd and 3rd floor of the building. You can actually noted it from far as they such a huge sign board...

The decorations in Daorae are simple yet give the authentic feeling. You can either choose to sit at wooden chairs and tables or the more traditional raised platform at one part of the restaurant and this really adds to the ambiance of a real Korean dining experience.

Simple table setting.....

Korean meal is usually served with Ban-Chan, the FOC Korean traditional appetizers that may be refilled. The most famous Ban-Chan is Kim chi, bean sprout and etc…I personally not really like Kim chi but this Kim chi really taste so good that I can’t express in words…so try it.

Variety of Ban-Chan..

Generous portion of fish.....

Yong-nyum Dak-gal-bi (RM27): None spicy BBQ chicken. Lean skinless chicken fillets marinated with special soy sauce. Normally chicken fillet tend to be little dry but surprisingly it tastes juicy and tender. I wonder how they make that…. It was absolutely delectable.

BBQ Pork (RM35): The meat is marinated with a mixture of sweet soy sauce, special ginseng, herbs extract... It is marinated for two to four hours to enhance the flavor and its tenderization.

This meat taste really juicy, tender and none of the meats are burn and every piece is cook to perfection … thanks to their waiters as they really did a good job.

You can either eat the meats itself or wrapped it with the lettuce with some soy bean sauce, garlic and dipped in the seasoned sesame oil sauce. That was really a perfect matching…

The Kimchi Jjigae (RM16): I am a soup and tofu lover… this mild spicy soup is the combination of pork, Kimchi & tofu in a rich Kimchi soup. This was fantastic Kimchi soup and the bacon in the soup certainly added value therefore made it taste really fantastic..

Finally the A spicy pork ribs soup (RM18): This dish is big portion with generous pork ribs and vegetables, worth money worth trying. For me I think it a little too spicy as I not a spicy food fans but spicy food lovers will definitely loves it…both of the soup served with rice.

Their finished off the meal with a mouth wash..that are 3 slices of watermelon.... Too bad they dint served the 'barley' kind of drink...maybe somebody can suggest to them next time..Hehe

We all agreed, this was indeed a satisfying and great dinner. The meal of 3 cost RM110.40 - a very fair price to pay. As we walked away, I noticed there was a lots of poster of some famous actors and singer...some of them even took picture with the boss….

Korean food lover may check this out....

It another Friday night and I were out to celebrate colleague's birthday at Hartamas area. So nothing beats yummy dessert after a nice meal therefore we end up at this Dessert's Bar located at Mont Kiara.

Dessert's Bar offer variety of smooties, cocktail smooties, home brewed ice cream, sorbet, desserts by glass etc and etc.....

Triple shooters (RM10.90) : Raspberry, mango & kiwifruit jellies with vanilla panna cotta. For me, the fruits jellies are little too sweet with the layered of honey.

Panna cotta is actually an Italian dessert made by simmering together cream, milk and sugar, mixing this with gelatin, and letting it cool until set. An Italian phrase which literally means "cooked cream"

Fruity flips: This is kind of dissapointed 1 as from the menu the pancakes look generously layered with fresh fruits but when served, we barely see the fruits layered except the accompanied fruits as side. This pancakes also coupled with a shot of fresh honey and 2 handcrafted jams. ( Choice from the jams page).

Mangorita (RM10.90): Mango pudding with lemon sorbet, topped with mango and mint sauce and dragon fruit ruby water chestnuts. This ovarall taste okay, not too sweet and not too filling.

Mocharita (RM10.90) : crushed frozen coffee jelly with Belgium dark chocolate ice-cream, coupled with a shot of protein filled soy milk.

This is my pick.....

Tofu Margarita (RM10.90): a carnival of fruits and my favorite red beans, a scope of homemade black sesame ice cream with the limelight on soya based tofu panna cotta. The ice cream taste really great and moderate sweetness. The soya based panna cotta is more healty wise compared to the original creme type so you can eat without sinful...

They claimed that their hottest realease was the belgium dark chocolate fondue but yet to try. Check out this Dessert's Bar if you haven't and i look forward to try thier Belgium dark chocolate fondue.

Paddington House of Pancakes - The Gardens, MidValley City

2008-06-09T11:37:00.000+08:00

I were at The Gardens Mid valley the other day looking for something to eat. I suggested Paddington house of pancakes but my other half was a little skeptical at first because he doesn’t seem interested with it but at last he agreed to go for a try.

Paddington House Of Pancakes serves more than 100 types of pancakes from all the world, including pannekoeks, galettes, American stacks, poffertjes, blitzes, blinis…. etc and etc ! It is a full-dining restaurant concept which serves both savory and sweet pancakes.

PHOP emphasizes on a cozy, happy and friendly environment for families and friends, whether it is for a quick bite, a social gathering, or simply to chill-out in a long lazy afternoon. It’s also a nice light clean looking place with good service and reasonable prices and they have a massively extensive menu with more different types of pancakes than you could ever imagine.

Hot Mocha (RM7)

It smell really good and taste smooth. (Should have order the cold 1 coz it look better so should taste better I assumed HeHe)

I personally prefer the savory pancakes, which boast of a huge variety of savory fillings that could satisfy my tastebuds. These type of pancakes are certainly a hearty and healthy meal by itself.

My first pick, Tokyo (RM18.50). Wonder why they called it Tokyo??? It a thin pancakes wrapped with lots of veggie and served along with boneless chicken drumstick with some tomato gravy, ham with cheese and a portion of mash potato. The pancakes come in a good serving size with nice garnish. Taste fantastic and worth the price too…

Honolulu Pankoek (RM 17.50) is a Dutch pancake. yeah It looks like "thin crust" pizza but much thinner than that. Come with ham and pineapple. Taste cheesy but not too much. Tasty and good for sharing.

I definitely recommend checking out Paddington House of Pancakes if you haven’t and I do look forward for another seating at Paddington House of Pancakes.

Total damage included the service charge and Tax was RM49.45. For me, it is reasonable because of the large portion of the food and acceptable quality and taste of the food.

The Real Tradition Roti Bakar

2008-04-27T13:36:00.004+08:00

Due to my new job, i got the chances to travel around Malaysia. Had been to Penang and Alor Star for the last whole week and now I am kinda sick of Asam Laksa and Lok Bak.

During the whole week, the most favourite food of mine is this tradition toast bread. I like it very much and I found it while jalan jalan cari makan in one evening. Saw that there was so many people in that small lorong, so without further thinking we joined the crowd.

I am not sure or there is no name for the stall. I am only able to tell you guys that it is located at penang road,which was near to Cititel Hotel and opposite of the Balai Polis.

Got to know from the Lady boss, this stall was operated by her mother-in-law and now inherit to her husband. Guess that the business is here since many many many years ago.

This was what impressed me. Do you see how the lady boss toast the bread? I think hardly to find this kind of toast bread nowadays. The top was use to steam the bread and also a container for the hot boiled water and the bottom is to toast.

Sorry guys, there is no picture for the bread as i forgot to snap it. Anyway, if you happen to drop by Penang, defnitely you must pay a visit to this stall.

Gelatissimo - The Gardens Shopping Mall

2008-04-22T21:43:00.010+08:00

Indulgence for ais cream??? Lets find out this ais cream for girls who are calories conscious.

Gelatissimo....it is an Italian ice cream kiosk located at the lower ground floor in The Garden Mid valley... (it the real taste of italia)

Hmmm the best-selling flavours include Mango, Veronese, Chocolate, Hazelnut Rum & Raisin , Affogato and of course fruits and sorbets flavours....

Too excited and forgot to count how many flovours they displayed but should be around 30 flovours..

The gelato is doled out in cones and cups in 100gm scoops. Pricing is according to the number of scoops and varies between RM7.90, RM11.90 and RM14.90. Extra RM1 for cones...

Guilt-free indulgence: This is the fat-free fruit-flavoured gelato for my pick of the day....

Laici and strawberry fruit flavours (Yummy Yummy).... Big scoops and worth the money.

You can always request for topping.....

The pleasure of the day without the guilt and after-effects...Hehe

Tean's Gourmet Chicken Curry

2008-04-06T20:32:00.007+08:00

Tean's Gourmet Chicken Curry Paste was strongly recommended by my very best JiMui. She claimed that it's excellent and no regret for trying it. It was my first time bought curry paste and also the very first time of cooking curry chicken.

Only RM2.90. Affordable yet delicious.

What we need to ready are the chicken, potato and also the coconut milk.

Below are the cooking instructions:

1. Mix 1 packet Tean's Gourmet Chicken Curry Paste with 1.5kgs chicken and 2 medium popatoes to fry over high heat for 5 minutes.

2. Add 250-500 water to simmer for 15 minutes or until meat is tender. Stir occasionally.

3. Add coconut milk, stir well and bring to a quit boil. It's ready to be served.

* sorry no picture for the cooked version as I forgot to snap.

Anyway, the taste was really "out of my expectation" and it was super duper delicious. Quite similar to rendang. I prefer the dried curry chicken compare to the waterly version.

Thanks to my JI mui for introducing such a GOOD THING to me :>

Nasi Dagang

2008-03-29T16:44:00.004+08:00

Nasi Dagang is my favourite when i back to my honmetown - Kuantan. Mum usually will buy it for my breakfast. After i moved to Selangor here, it is really hardly to find this east coast delicious dish. Until last week, my malay colleagu who from Terengganu told me that, actually there is a NASI DAGANG stall at the Cheras Perdana night market. I was soooo happy to get to know this and without further consideration I head to Cheras Perdana on Wed Night to search for the yummy Nasi Dagang. And I also got to know that many people from Johor and KL are not aware of this malay famous dish and they are so curious actually what is NASI DAGANG is like?

Okay, here is the picture and simple explanation of Nasi Dagang for those who never try on it.

The steamed rice is a bit sticky due to its coconut milk ingredient and it normally a combination of local, siamese rice. And the little brown color is a special herb that is not frequently use which is called Halba. halba has a nice pungent slightly minty taste.

For Terengganu side, there is light vegetable pickle and this coundn't find in my hometown version.

The curry fish aka Ikan Tongkol in malay is the best companion for the rice. the curry is not very spicy actually and might be a bit sweet but it still so tasty.

I like to pout lot gravy into my rice as I really enjoy of eating NASI DAGANG. Next Wednesday I will going to grab it again :)

Guiling Grass Jelly

2008-03-22T13:39:00.007+08:00

Hello everyone, sorry because MIA for a quite period of time. Not to angry me okay the boss, let has something to cool down.

Guiling Grass Jelly

The intruction is very easy and can be done within 5 minutes. Firstly, just to grab a packet of Guiling Grass Jelly powder at the nearer grocery, it costs around Rm3.50. This is a vegetarian and low sugar, a healthy dessert.

Bring 1000ml of plain water to boil. After boiling, switch to small flame.

Pour in Guiling Grass Jelly powder slowly while stirring continuously to dissolve until thick and smooth. Stirring is to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot. Lastly, turn off the flame.

See, it is done. I am going to keep it to freeze as i prefer a cool jelly.

This is the serving suggestion. After cooled, may add honey, canned fruit, red bean, soya milk and to name a few according to own preference.

Claypot Chicken Rice - Taman Kok Lian

2008-03-11T01:00:00.004+08:00

Today want to introduce one of my favourite Claypot Chicken Rice Stall at Taman Kok Lian - It is located near The Store supermarket at Jalan Batu Ambar.

Feel happy because of my revisited they did not disappointed me, they able to maintain the food quality with generous serving of ingredient. Crowded customer is the best proof for it!

Nowadays really hard to find the generous ingredient and cheap authentic Claypot Chicken Rice.

Honey Plum Juice! Suitable to drink at hot weather and good for digestion~

We ordered one large size and one small size of claypot chicken rice, fits for 4 pax. A lot of Chinese sausage and pickled chicken on it. Ya not forgotten, they added the salty fish inside to enhance the aromatic of the chicken rice.

Normally, for the traditional claypot chicken rice they will add the salty fish into it. Salty fish acts an important role for the claypot chicken rice.

Small size claypot chicken rice, the rice was well-cooked, each grain of rice divided clearly. They able to control the humidity of the rice well.

Oyster sauce mixed with boiled vegetable, it is very common in the Chinese cuisine. The vegie very fresh and cruncy, normally, over-cooked vegie will become yellowish but of course this does not.

If you pass by this area not forget to come and try it out!!

Nak Won - Business Avenue Ampang Jaya

2008-02-07T10:50:00.000+08:00

Never been lineal traditional Korean restaurant before, this was my first time visited the Korean restaurant that called Nak Won Korean BBQ.

It is managed by the Korean people except the waiter and waitress are non-Korean. They served you good food, good service but a bit costly because majority food are imported from Korean and i think the rental also expensive in this business area.

Front View of the restaurant

A lot of plant in front of the restaurant, prefer the restaurant that out of city tumult and surrounding with plants.

Korean cashier, friendly and generous. She was the one who gave us the discount for the bill so nice~

Korean Traditional Cuisine

A lot of korean visit here, normally you will see they gather together and drinking!

We chose the place that sit on the floor followed the Korean. After half and hour then regret already because feel the pain and stiff of the leg!! Maybe we are not familiar to sit on the floor and have the meal like this , i guess after few time it might be better!

Nice and cozy ambiance.

Chili Sauce, green chilies, garlic, soya sauce and sweet sauce. There were used to mix with the grilled meat.

Table already fully placed by side dishes, Korean named them as Pan Chan and it is complimentary.

Steamed Egg, you have to eat this faster because the stone bowl is very hot and easy to make the egg get burned

Ya! Come to introduce the star of today, classy Pork Belly grilled by charcoal. I would say it was extremely tasty and tender. Priced at RM25

Grilled vegetables and duck meat. The gravy of seeping out from the duck meat, totally aromatic and flawlessly. I forgot the exact price for the duck meat, if i not mistaken it sold at RM25

Definitely satisfied eating the pork belly, garlic, chili bag with fresh vegie. You would not feel oily if eating the fresh vegie and pork belly.

Each mouthful was so satisfaction and the garlic was really appetizing.

Kimchi Styled Mackerel Soup, generous served of big mackerel meat and the soup really ravishing even my friend that dislike the Kimchi also managed to accept it. Fabulous! Priced at RM35.00

Stainless steel bowl of rice, the texture of the rice almost same with the Japaneses rice, a bit glutinous but aromatics. Perhaps, it is a bit costly because 1 bowl sold at RM5.00 and only plain rice.

They have another branch at Taman Desa, if you near there may try it out and share with me.

Overall, i must confess that the orthodox Korean Traditional Cuisine, Nak Won was the preferred.

Finally, i wishes my beloved readers and friends Happy and Wealthy Chinese New Year,

恭喜发财！万事如意！新年快乐！发发发发!

Rest House at Sungai Perak, Perak

2008-01-19T00:21:00.000+08:00

Stopped at this rest house few time, normally sojourn at here also because on the journey to Kuala Kangsar or Pengkalan Hulu for meeting the client.

This rest house very gorgeous and cosiness, perfect accommodation and very important, clean!

The rest house is like a castle, fits with escalator, no need to climb the stair, good for people that in long journey and exhausted can take a short break in here.

visit here before? hehe... i wonder how much they use to build this rest house!

Oh! my favorite! Fruits~ inside the castle, a lot of stall selling fruit here.

Te fruit are fresh and you can buy the fruit that already cut in piece and packaging.

Satu bungkus (One pack) 1 Ringgit Malaysia! Still affordable right? after the long journey from KL, we bought few pack of fruit to recharge our body vitamin.

Light pink and dark pink water apple, star fruit, lime and etc...

The water apple looks tempting and juicy. I think majority of people also like this because it is very crunchy and juicy when you bite it.

Rambutan, Mangoes, Dragon Fruits, Purple Western Durian... the dragon fruits very big and colorific.

Normally, braised peanut will be a good friend to accompany you for the long journey. 100gram is scold at RM3 if i not mistaken.

Old Town White Coffee, Setapak Branch

2008-01-04T01:50:00.000+08:00

Prefer to visit The Old Town White Coffee for their popular white coffee and the cozy environment suitable for the friend gathering and group discussion.

Currently, it is almost more than 15 outlets franchising in Kuala Lumpur. Apparently, people like their unique white coffee and also decoration.

Normally, i will order this Xi Mut Milk Tea cold when visit Old Town, because of the silky and also smooth texture of it. Priced at RM2.50

Organic Spirulina Orange Juice, usually people will wonder why the color of the orange juice is green, last time i tried for this drink i thought the waiter giving me the wrong drink, after that only i know because of the spirulina cause the color of the drink turn to green color. It is sold at RM3.80

Kaya and Butter Toast Single also my favorite order, i like the crunchy texture and the inimitable taste of the bread. Last time they served the bread very big piece but now become small maybe because of the inflation factor they reduce the ingredient but not increase the price of it. Price still maintain at RM1.10 .

Nissin Noodle served with Chicken Ham and Egg, sometime if really feel hungry only will order this because nothing special for it, the only thing is they control the time to cook this very well, the noodle very springy.

Priced at RM4.80

At the end, enjoy the video taken from youtube, Introduction and History of Old Town White Coffee.

Dinner, Seafood at Betong,Thailand (Business Trip 1)

Woke up early morning and went for this Dim Sum Stall, from the picture you can see, it is a lot of choices.

Although it is only a small stall but i think more than 100 types of Dim Sum serving here. However, i did not see any fish, pork or beef ball, i guess maybe Thai dislike fish ball or they think fish ball cannot sell in good price at Dim Sum field. (My personal view).

Woww.... 3 person of us already chose more than 20 basket of Dim Sum.. very engorge and because of the nice outlook of the each dim sum we could not stop our hand to pick up the basket.

Very lovely and the size of each piece is very nicety, one piece for one mouthful... yummy!

I assume 1 basket of Dim Sum is only RM1.50 because 20+ basket included 1 pot of Chinese tea for 3 person, it was only cost us around RM30.

All the Dim Sum very fresh and tasty because they only will cook it after you ordered, to prevent the dim sum won't dry or overcooked.

It is not only can satisfy our palate but the aromatic of the dim sum make us cannot stop to continue pick even the tummy already stuffed.

The dim sum we ordered even not enough space to put on table, Don't think we are glutton because normally people visit here also order a lot like us haha... so this is normal at here.

Salt Egg with pork

White Agaric, Kei Zhi with Pork

Preserved Egg with Pork

Big prawn with Starchy Egg Gravy

From the picture above, i think already means everything so if you visit Betong, Thailand remember to visit their dim sum stall.

Cheap, Clean and Content...

MeeHoon Soup

2007-12-19T10:55:00.001+08:00

It were what I normally prepare for the dinner when I am lazy to cook, lazy to do much preparation for cooking.

Directions:
1. Prepare the soup which boil with anchovies.
2. Put in EVERYTHING (fishball, stuffed beancurd or anything)
3. Add in vegie and Meehoon.
4. Pepper and Salt to taste.
5. Serve HOT.

That's all. It is best to eat after a heavy meal or when you feel you need something light.

Breakfast at Betong,Thailand (Business Trip 1)

After finished drink at pub, we went to the seafood restaurant in front of the Hotel Sri Betong, normally, at Betong when people finish drink they will come to this restaurant because here was the only place you can find the seafood stall.

A heap of small clams, we can find more big size clams at Malaysia. Prefer the huge clams but not this.

Another type of Clams, normally boiled it and eat with sambal chilies if not fresh then the smell will be horrible and disgusting.

Oysters, yeah my favorite seafood, not really big size but very fresh! Able to satisfy our appetite and gluttonous.

Fresh water prawn, very fresh, we ordered some to grill.

Grilled fish and also crabs

Grilled fish, For our local we called it as Ikan Kembong,

Very amusing because in Betong, they named it as Ham Sap Yuu. Feel funny and ask the chef, she mentioned that everyone in here know about this fish but she doesn't know the origin story. Aiks.. curious about the story behind hehe... i guess maybe because of the guy here are like fish (water fish) and ham sap :P

Garlic, fried onions, lime juice , special Thai chili sauce and also unknown vegetable to mix with oyster.

Fresh Oyster

Oyster that mixed with vegie, fried onions garlic and also lime juice, oh miss the tobacco chili sauce, if here has tobacco chili sauce then perfect!

Traditional Chinese Fried Rice, my friend commented that it was very tasty and flavorful.

Not really like this clams because i had few of it and some was not fresh, feel disgusted.

Main attraction, Squids, very fresh and also tender, love this so much, at least still could replace the previous boiled clams that came not fresh.

Tomorrow i will go to Gerik, Perak to meet the customer. Very busy lately, wish to update the remaining post earlier, Good day for you guys.

Next post... had the abundance and tasty breakfast, Dim Sum at Betong

Shokudo (Revisit)

2007-12-17T08:56:00.000+08:00

Revisit to Shokudo. Why revisit? Food is excellent? Price is too affordable? Or Good Service? There are not the main reasons although the food and price are reasonable. Overall, it is all because we want to spend the vouchers we got on our last dining there.

Still the same as previously. The place was so quiet and we still were the only customers there. Wonder why this happened. I guess maybe it is at housing area, and the families are more towards to the "Dai Chao", those chinese restaurants.

Unagi Set, Rm23++. It was quite big portion, the unagi was big size too. My bf said if the rice changed to fried rice, it really excellent then.

Added RM7.90 to get the complete Unagi Set Meal which include chawanmushi, miso soup and fruits.

They added White Carrot to the miso soup. The taste was stronger but it suits my taste bud.

Thai Yaki Tori, RM11.90. It was mine. Nice nice. The "satay", meat was marinated well. The fried rice was full of garlic aroma.

Everything is went to our stomach.

Lunch at Betong, Thailand (Business Trip 1)

Second day, everybody woke up so early and went out to hunt the food, you know why we could wake up so early? haha... it is because Thailand time is 1 hour delays with our local time, means when KL 8.30 am then Thailand is only 7.30am.

Walking along the street and we met this stall, we tempted by their special Kua Tiu inside the mirror. Never see this kind of Kua Tiu in KL, craving to try for it.

Feel satisfaction to the stall and ingredients because there are so clean and tidy arranged. 1 thing that make me very curious, no housefly in the Betong!

I still not yet find out the answer. Anyone that went there before knows the answer?

The Kua Tiu is so smooth and the size is different compare with our local Kua Tiu. Very important! It is oiless.

Fried Kua Tiu Mee

We special ask the auntie to add poached egg for us, the fried Kua Tiu Mee very tasty! Obviously good for health because not much oil used.

The poached egg also met my standard, the yolk is half-cooked and the Fried Kua Tiu Mee served with fish cake, egg, prawn, squid and also vegetable. Priced at RM3.50

Pull Tea, Teh Tarik, Before stir, you can see the tea is so dense. Priced at RM1.00

After stir, it was smooth and dense. You could feel the aroma of the tea and it was really tasty, the sweet adjusted was perfect!

Of course, the Fried Kua Tiu Mee could not fulfill our big appetite, we ordered the half-boiled egg to refill back the protein to our body! As you know protein can repair our cell. haha!

You can see the yolk is orange color, it is different with our local egg's yolk that light yellow color. The uncle told us, it was because their chicken is homegrown so the yolk also look different and higher nutrition. The half-boiled egg served to us after took out from the egg's shell and came with pepper and soy cause. 80 cent per egg

After finished our breakfast, we ordered the soy bean juice that mixed with pearl and jelly to bring along to the massage center to do the foot massage. The soy sauce sold at 80 cent.

FYI... foot massage at Thailand is only RM23 per hour, very very cheap compares with KL

A lot of interesting post coming... next post will talk about sea food in Thailand.

Stay with me.. to be continue...

2007-12-13T08:33:00.001+08:00

This was the dinner on 5 Dec 2008. I wanted to post it since last week but always fail to do so. The reason was my brain malfunction, cant think of any word to write for this post.

A picture is worth a thousand words. So I decided not to write anything for this post since my brain is out of function.

Please bear with me for this time,kay?

Lunch at Betong, Thailand (Business Trip 1)

2007-12-07T23:31:00.000+08:00

At the half way, stopped at Ipoh - Dim Sum

Continue...

After procrastinating for quite long time, now only i got the time to write for the post to Betong, Thailand.

Actually our business mission was located at Pengkalan Hulu, Perak whereas because Pengkalan Hulu was a small town and only few restaurant available, we decided to go to Betong, Thailand to have our lunch. For your information, only 15 minutes needed if driving from Pengkalan Hulu, Perak to Sri Betong, Thailand.

We went to this traditional Thailand restaurant to have our lunch.

At Thailand, you can see all the shop or restaurant sure hang or paste their King picture on the wall, they are very respecting and adoring to their king. If compares with their divinity, the king even higher rank than the god.

Golden Phoenix Fish, 金凤鱼， The pool is located beside the restaurant, if you order then they will catch the live fish to cook for you, so absolutely it is very fresh.

Menu

Our tummy already drumming, after sitting at the car for the long hours. It is around 400km from KL to Pengkalan Hulu.

We could not wait anymore, stared on the menu and directly ordered 4 dish without thinking twice.

Our drinks, sugar cane juice and chrysanthemum juice, 菊花, very fresh and icy, only RM2 per bottle. You can get it at all the restaurant in Betong. Their local famous product.

Suitable to drink during hot weather.

Fresh vegie - cucumber and long bean to mix with the Balacan chili, it is very delicious and good as appetizer.

White fungus fried with prawn - tasty and aroma because of the wine that they mixed into it. Moreover, i must say the prawn was very fresh, big and springy.

Sliced chicken fried with taro - flavourful， served with a lot of lumbar bean and taro, but difficult to find the sliced chicken. The portion of the chicken was too little already, we only enjoy eating the lumbar bean and taro not satisfied enough.

You see the dried chili? hehe... Thailand dried chili is very big size compare with our local version.

Intestines fried with salty vegie, if you come to Thailand you have to try their pork and also pork innards because it is different with our local pork, it totally does not has the strange taste and smell like our local pork.

The pork intestines was very crunchy and fresh, it was very good mixed with the salty vegie.

I think almost half of it was finished by me. This dish very good to increase the appetite.

Curry Smelly bean with prawn - The way of cooking this was not special but the smelly bean was fresh and big.

This was our first meal of the trip having at Thailand and the bill was not cheap, total damage about RM70.00++ for 4 person. For my personal view, the taste of this meal was acceptable but the price a bit expensive because only normal dish we ordered.

Fresh Orange Juice

2007-12-06T10:47:00.000+08:00

A very simple post today.

Finally I found oranges squeezer in 100Yen Shop price at RM4.90. I bought it without hesitate because I need fresh oranges juice.

Restaurant Foh San, Dim Sum - Ipoh (Business Trip 1)

2007-12-05T17:13:00.000+08:00

On the way to Pengkalan Hulu, Perak for business purpose, at the half way, we stopped at Ipoh to crawl for the popular Ipoh Dim Sum.

We reached at this restaurant called Foh San, feel familiar with it, when i saw the banner of the shop and also the structure inside,

Keeping recall, i found that i visited this restaurant before, when i was young.

Not mean i am old but it was really long time i did not revisit the shop.

Feel happy to visit here again because it let me to recall back some interesting scenes when i was young.

Time passing so fast, i am growing from thin become fat and from the one who only know how to eat, now become the one who not only know to eat but also know to write and also capture the picture to share with others, totally becomes what people said "flogger".

They never change or renovate their banner since last time, you can see the banner looks old and homeliness but it giving me the warmness and also affability feeling.

Simple decoration and also old design, no air cons but it still can let the customer feel cozy and peaceful when having dim sum here.

I like this kind of environment when enjoying the dim sum because it let me feel like i am out of city pressure, i can speak as loud as i want and also laugh as greater as i can at here.

When i saw this scene, you know! that was a fast queries come to my mind, "Ipoh people no need work ah? already 9.30am, the restaurant still full of customer and the new customer keep on coming". FYI, It was Thursday.

I answered the queries myself, is it all the customer also boss so no need to go to office so early or else they are very relax and not rush to open or go to the shop.

Feel great right!!! If we can same like them 9.30am still man man tan cha and sik kor pao (drink the tea, and eat the 'Bao') only go to work.

Did not wait longer, we fast fast ordered 3 basket of dim sum, Siu Mai, Ha Kao and also Fish Ball to soothe our tummy that roaring long time.

Not remembered what this called but the ingredient inside major was prawn, very fresh,

First bite of it, feel the prawn very bouncy and juicy. I love this one.

Wu Kok (Fried Yam), crunchy and also the yam would not too sweet. Normally, when i visit Dim Sum restaurant i will order this because i love yam very much.

Dumpling, it would not oily and very tender

Yong Tau Fu - Brinjal, Tau Fu and also Chili

Lou Mai Fan aka Sticky Rice with a lot of sliced item like mushroom, chicken, carrot and etc..

See! see! The Stuffs are abundance and it was generous given.

After finished our breakfast at Ipoh, we continue to our main destination again, Pengkalan Hulu.

We had a memorable breakfast at Ipoh, will revisit again to this restaurant if go to Ipoh again. Furthermore, dim sum here price is cheaper if compare with Kuala Lumpur.

This time some of the dim sum picture forgot to take because too hungry and only concentrated eating, will provide more picture for next visit.

White Radish Soup aka White Carrot

2007-12-05T10:16:00.000+08:00

SOUP~
My all time favorite. Without a bowl of soup, it is not a complete meal for me.

I like all kind of soup, from the normal anchovies veggie soup to the chicken soup. You name it, I like it.

Actually soup is one of the most easier to be prepared. Clean all the ingredients, cut into desire sizes and bring to boil for 3 – 4 hours. Not much seasoning needed except the normal pepper and salt.

For this radish soup, all we needed are:

White radish, peeled and cut into wedges.

Red Dates and Osyter
Not to forget, chicken or bone is needed too.

After boiling for 3 hours, it turns out to be

HmmmMMmm, I like it :)

Nak Won Restaurant Korean BBQ

2007-12-03T09:56:00.000+08:00

I used to say NO to Korean food previously or every time my bf asked me go for Korean food, I will give him a NO NO expression. I cant accept the smell of kimchi, feel “disgusting” of it. As times goes by, I starting loving it after my first trial at Dae Cheung Kam with my beloved colleagues. I like the lunch set offered by Dae Cheung Kam.

We decided to hunt for Korean food for this weekend dinner at Ampang, where it is popular as Korean Village. Thanks to Alvin who gave me directions. It was my first time been to this Korean town and surprising to see so many Korean restaurants over here. It is really hard to make decision on which to dine in.

After discussion and observation, here come to our final decision. Nak Won Restaurant Korean BBQ. The restaurant still very pack although it was 9pm. And we hardly to see any empty seat until the moment we left. Felt lucky because we had make the right choice.

I always prefer to choose seat on floor where there is available. The feel is good and just like to their culture. Anywhere, it was painful after sit for long time.

Side dishes as complimentary and it also called as Pan Chan. Normally re-fill is allowed upon request.

He went for “Vegie Stone Rice” at RM15. It consists of lot of fresh mushroom, bean sprout, few type of veggie and egg, to name a few. See the paste beside the bowl of rice? Maybe the waiter realized our way is not so correct, so he came to us and offer his hands to us. The waiter added the paste into the rice and stir it till balanced.

It was really much more delicious after added in the paste. GOOD.

It was my first time tried on Korean BBQ. Ordered a set of Pork Belly at RM23. Korean restaurant normally use charcoal to grill the meat instead of using electrical griller. Much more healthier and nicer, I would said.

The best thing was the waiter helped to grill, we just wait to eat. Once the meat was grilled to perfection, it will sliced into bite sized. Good service though.

These were the condiments for the BBQ dish.

The correct way but it was just for sample. I afraid the strong aromatic of garlic.

Overall was satisfy. The service was excellent and price affordable too. This restaurant get a credit from us was because they gave discount. The total bill came was RM43.70 but they just collected RM40 from us.

Shokudo, 小古岛

2007-11-29T10:39:00.000+08:00

Shokudo, the very first time I notice it was 2 years back in Mid Valley. Till then I nearly forgot about this restaurant until recently I found out that there is one franchise in Makhota Cheras.

Shokudo offers a selection of Bento, Light Bento, Rice Bowls, Noddle Bowls and Teppan Sets which are in Japanese, Thai and Fusion flavours.

I had passed through this restaurant for few times but always can’t see any customer dining in. For the last night, also just only two of us were there. There are open air and in door. We chose to sit at open air as it is brighter and easy for the photo shooting.

Salmon Mizore, RM12.90. It is under Light Bento side. Obviously, the bento is smaller but the portion is big. It comes with fried rice, salmon, salad and also muachi. The fried rice was delicious and this set was satisfying us.

Red Curry Chicken, RM9.99. It was the promotion item and the actual price was Rm14.90. For the promotion set, we can choose either miso soup, green tea or chawanmushi as FOC. The red curry was not the typical type but thai style. Not so suitable for my taste buds at first but starting to accept it when come to 5th bite 6th bite.

I chose Miso Soup among the others as complimentary item. It is still very flavorful although is free of charge.

Mussel Yaki, RM6.90. He said it was nice and for me, no comment because I am not fancy to mussel.

Yeah Yeah! These were the bonus for us to dine in here. Yes, I used THERE WERE because we got two vouchers worth RM20. We spent RM35 for the dinner but received RM20 voucher. The terms and condition is only one voucher can be used for every RM20 spend. Still very worth, right?

Steamed Scallops

2007-11-20T16:47:00.000+08:00

Need to settle down a lot of paperwork so did not go out for my dinner today.

went to the refrigerator and found this 'Scallop'. Thumbsup! very fresh!

Well! it would become my main character for today! Steamed Scallop with hot rice! Yeah! On.

Lazy to go out to buy the shallot. If not the color will be nicer. Anyway, for me it was still acceptable because for the fresh seafood normally i dislike to mix it with too many item. Ginger and garlic enough to flavor the scallop.

For the direction to cook, very easy and simple! Chop the garlic and ginger into small pieces and then put on the top of the scallop. After that, arrange the scallop evenly into the container.

Then, sprinkle a pinch of Maggi chicken powder into each of the scallop. No need to put extra water for it because after cooked, the scallop itself would flow out the water.

5 minutes needed to steam the scallop into perfection. If steam overtime, the texture of the scallop will change to coarse because of the gravy already over flow out.

For the last step, after cooked you might put a little Shao Xin Hua Tiao wine into each of the scallop.

Heheh... of course the scallops not finished by me alone. I was cooking for my mummy and sister too! You know the result, 'Habis Sapu', all the scallop finished in 20 minutes, incredible!

and the last, everyone with the satisfaction look and happiness smile ended the session.

2007-11-20T00:33:00.000+08:00

Sunday (04/11/07)

Friends brought me to this restaurant, Chen Chicken Rice Shop (郑记芽菜鸡饭店) due to it famous Batu Mertajam Chicken Rice.

All the chicken are hooked orderly behind the glass, with this scene you can expect how good for their business in one day.

Almost everyday the restaurant also very packed and crowded.

They hired staff in many race, Indian, Myanmar and Chinese. The Indian staff able to speak Chinese fluently and i saw the one that chop the chicken also Indian. He is very efficient and professional. Hence, we no need to wait long time for the food. Well done!

Except roasted pork (Siu Yok, Char Siu) and steamed chicken, they are serving close to 40 types of different item to fulfill the customer appetite.

Steamed egg, yong tau fu, braised pork meat and intestine, fried fish, fried veggie and etc.....

For normal chicken rice, it is only sold at RM3.50. It is cheap!!!

I like to eat the steamed chicken with stirred ginger! Fabulous mixed!

Hmm... for me the rice a bit oily, not really like the oily food. Because of hungry, did not ask for change.

Roasted chicken, It is roasted by the charcoal that is why the chicken skin is more fragrant compared with the shop that used hot oil to roast.

Furthermore, the texture of the chicken meat is tender and full of gravy, i suspect they used fresh chicken but not frozen chicken. Thumbsup!
It is must-order item. Try it if you visit here.

Forgot to inform them do not give us the chicken breast meat, argg... i dislike the texture of the chicken breast meat. It was a bit coarse.

The taste of the grilled pork in acceptable level but not as crispy as i think.

Sesame red chicken, a bit sweet hmm... if it served to us during the hot period then i think the taste will be better.

Extra item that we ordered to try, Fried onion egg and 'Fu Zhou'. Tastewise

Exact location at 28, Jalan Waras 1, Taman Connaught, Cheras Kuala Lumpur.
Contact them at 016-2055633 and 03-91335685, business hours started at 9am to 9pm.

Business card

Overall, we very satisfied and impressed with their staff working attitude and efficiency. All the food served at very short period, you no need to wait for long time for your order. The price also acceptable although they already popular and published in many brand of newspaper. Of course i will revisit again.

猪肉粉， Pork Mee - Sentul

Yesterday was my "Birthday", my friend, Kok Wei, early morning already called me and invite me to his ex-boss pork mee stall to have breakfast.

I wake up with the lazy mood, but i expected he will take some nice ingredient from his kitchen to cook with the pork mee already. Hehehe... because every year for my birthday he also will do the same! Never missed~

Even for the whole week he was busy with the food function for the UMNO Meeting that organized at PWTC (Putra Work Trade Centre) but he still not forget about my birthday! *Sob *sob.

After came back from the work that started at previous day 8PM until 8AM for the next day, with the tired body, sleepy face, he still able to date me with the breakfast, this is what we called 'Best Friend'.

Lets talk about the 猪肉粉, pork mee,

We passed the big prawn, 草虾 that my friend taken from his office to the pork mee stall boss and let him cooked for us.

The pork mee served with minced pork, pork liver, pork intestines, veggie, dried onion, dried lard and the main actor 'Big Prawn'. Without me describe, i think you can imagine how sweet and fragrant for the soup because of the big prawn.

We chose the homemade noodles, 生面 for the pork mee, the noodles springy and very delicious because the taste for the soup already mingled with the noodles

Another reason, maybe because the noodles without preservative and coloring so it can more easy to mix with the soup and more tasty.

Unforgettable Breakfast of my Birthday

Button Mushroom Fried Rice + Choy Kon Tong

2007-11-06T10:58:00.000+08:00

Fried rice is the best choice when you are out of idea of what to cook for tonight dinner. There are so many types of fried rice, but we not must follow the exactly. In fact, it is a very simple and flexible meal. You can add any ingredients that suit to your taste bud.

For me, I always use corns, luncheon, Chinese sausage, long bean, carrot, button mushroom and to name a few for fried rice. Personally, I don’t like to use MEAT as ingredient. After so many of choices, CORN is the best choice. It’s really sweet and fragrant.

Another point is, I don’t use dark soy sauce and oyster sauce. First, I don’t like the color and secondly, it is not good for health especially oyster sauce. Oh ya, overnight rice always the best to be fried.

Here was the dinner for yesterday. Button Mushroom Fried Rice + Overnight Dried Bak Choy Soup aka Choy Kon Tong.

Button Mushroom Fried Rice. Just a very simple fried rice but delicious. It’s so called simple nice :) I always choose to use fried egg instead of scramble egg and also I like to pour a little of soy sauce to the fried egg. Don’t know why, it just will make the egg more tasty but my other half like tomato sauce.

The simple easiest way:

Heat one teaspoon of oil in a hot wok until the surface seems to shimmer slightly.
Add chopped garlic and stir-fry.
Add butter and stir-fry until very aromatic.
Add in slices button mushroom and fish cakes and stir-fry briefly.
Add rice and fried until the rice is separately and “jumping”
Lastly add in carrots, soy sauce and pepper to taste.

It was over night soup, Choy Kon Tong. Is simple way to boil the soup. What you needed is of course a packet of Choy Kon, Red dates, Dried Oyster and also Bone. Boil it to 3 hours then add in Tao Fu and finally add salt according to your taste.

SIMPLE, LOW COST, DELICIOUS AND FULL

Dessert to COOL you down

2007-11-05T10:16:00.000+08:00

Enough of heavy oily food? Let me serve you some cold dessert today. Don’t know what it called in English. It is neither jelly nor pudding. In Chinese, it called 苣箬.

Furthermore, I had thrown the packet accidentally, so show it next time, kay? This is getting popular and more demand than the normal agar-agar or pudding. Mum told me b4, she cant find it in the market in some period of time. It out of stock until recently I found it in the grocery near my area. I bought it and make it immediately. Receive good responds too. For me, I am not so satisfy because of the color. Personally, I prefer it be more colorful than this.

The ingredients are cheap and the steps are easier also. It is suggested to add pieces of fruits too.

Cook and stir it till mix well. Added the fruits to the mould and pour it to the mould.

Fridge it till cold. It is nicer to have it on next day as it tastes nicer.

GRAPE favour

KIWI favour, this is nicer maybe the kiwi is sour and the feeling is just so nice.

Grape and Kiwi, we are in the ONE SAME FAMILY.

鱼虾蟹 Seafood Restaurant - Jinjang Selatan

2007-11-04T10:42:00.000+08:00

Lately busy about setting up my company until no time to update my blog and search for the new food and restaurant. My daily meal also settled at my mother stall only if not then cooking at home.

This post i already save it at draft last few week ago and only today i can complete it. Phew~

This restaurant (鱼虾蟹) located at Jinjang Selatan and quite near to Jinjang Selatan market (Pasar). The name of the restaurant very unique, but what i preferred not only for the name but because of their food delicious, freshness and quite reasonable for the price, you can see the stall almost everyday also crowded.

The steamboat set only sold at RM9.90 per head!! Unbelievable hehe... Please let me know if you can find the place that sell cheaper than here.

Although competition is very hot at here ( A lot of restaurant here) but they manage to make their stall full with customer. You can assume their food is not bad and the price should be reasonable. In fact, it is true.

Another tempting item they sold at cheap price!! RM9.90 for Carlsberg sizes 'Big'. It is great if you can eat the seafood with the icy Carlsberg.

It is the most happiness thing in the world, if you can enjoy the nice food with the beer together with your good friends. At least it can temporary let us to forget the tension, burden and sadness....

The size of the crab is quite big and it is for sure very fresh and juicy because it is alive not from refrigerator !

顺劾，what we called it at english?

When i having my meal here, i always forgot to order this! Clams! I also do not know why! hehehe... but for sure i will remember to order the crab. :P maybe i am crab lover

Green and red chilies sauce. We normally see it at Pan Mian Tong right! They even prepared this for the customer. 用心良苦 Hehe...

饭桶, rice at the bucket! Rice, you can add as many time as you can. No extra charges. So you can be 饭桶 at that moment.

Of course, people allow you to eat as many time as you can but not means you can bring it back home. hahaha... i think they put this tag at the bucket after particular customer bring this bucket back to home.

梅菜扣肉，‘Mui Choy braised with Pork', my strongly recommended food， the sauce is supreme yummy! You can mix the fried bread with the sauce, it is the perfect combination! If you visit here, this is must-order food. Priced at Rm12.00

'Fried pork large intestine'. hehe... first bite of it, i thought it is like grilled piggy skin (烧猪仔) but after few bite i only know it is not but fried large intestine

For the drinker, this is another recommended food that you can drink the beer while eating crispy intestine. It is only sold at RM8.00

奶油螃蟹，'Butter Fried Crabs', very messy for the presentation, sorry about that because after eating only i realize not yet take the picture. The sauce is well combination, not too creamy and not too sweet and very important the actor, crab is very fresh.

Priced at Rm22 per KG.

Price for reference.

So, after reading the post what you thinking anymore! Go and try it yourself and give me the feedback. hehe...

Bak Kut Teh "Pork Bone Tea"

2007-11-02T10:38:00.000+08:00

Believe everyone's mind will come acorss "Klang" when heard of Bak Kut Teh. Cant deny that Klang is named as the home of Bak Kut Teh in Malaysia here. Bak Kut Teh is categorized into Soup version and also Dried version. From Wikipedia, it stated that there are three types of Soup Bak Kut Teh, namely, Teochew Style, Hoklo (Hokkien) Style and also Cantonese Style. Teochew style is the most common. It is light in color and with more pepper in the soup. For Hoklo (Hokkien) style, uses more soy sauce and it resulted darker soup and saltier. The Cantonese style is with a soup-drinking culture, add medecinal herbs to create stronger flavoured soup.

Unlucky, till today I still don’t know where is the location of Klang Bak Kut Teh. Friends told me, it is at “Kiu Dai” but I really got no idea where is it as Klang really a strange place for me. Anyone can give me clearer instruction or bring me along in your next trip? May I?

For today’s Bak Kut Teh, it is not either Hoklo, Teochew or Cantonese but is Evonne’s Homemade Bak Kut Teh. The taste is definitely lose to outside but I can guarantee that my Bak Kut Teh wont make you feel thirsty after the meal. No Ajinomoto contains. Everytime after had Bak Kut Teh at outside, it is really thirsty although have had plenty of chinese tea or plain water. And I always can add mushroom, button mushroom, enoki mushroom and taufu pok as much as I like.

AI Bak Kut Teh always my best choice for years until recently mum bought me the packet from Hai-O. According to mum, it is nicer and the fragrance is nicer compare to AI.

For this Hai-O packet, it comes with special sauce and dried garlic too. It really makes the cooking easier. Previously, it is needed to add soy sauce, dark sauce and oyster sauce by ourselves. But now, I just need to add pepper according to my taste.

Sound easy right? Is pen and paper ready?

Ok, come! Just follow the directions below and you also able to cook it well.

1.5 Litres water

Bring water to a boil in a deep pot. Add the 2 bags of herbs and spices and also few bulb garlic then simmer for 30 minutes.

Amount of pork ribs required. It is suggested to boil the ribs in another pot before put it to the pot which contains the herbs. This is to cause the red blood oozing out from the ribs. Simmer for 1 hour until the meat is tender.

Here it comes. Evonne's Bak Kut teh!

Yam Rice or Yao Fan (Oil Rice) always come nice with Bak Kut Teh. But for this time, I only manage to garnish fried brown onion to the rice. It is nice too,k.

Yao Mak Dam always my favorite. This vegie is crunchy and juicy.

Last but not least, below item definitely complete my meal. Without it, I wont able to finish the bowl of Bak Kut Teh.

Chili Padi~ Hm.....Delicious~~~~~~~~

Teppanyaki - Balakong

2007-10-31T10:13:00.000+08:00

At first, planning to have dinner at Susan’s Bistro which located at Makhota Cheras. Unlucky, it was full house. I am so down at that moment as really would like to try out the famous tiramisu there. It had been introducing through newspaper and also blogs. Anywhere, will back to Susan’s Bistro in the coming weekend or next.

Since fail to have a great dinner, we immediately head to Jusco Selatan. Got no idea which restaurant to dine in and I asked him to make the decision. At last, he choose Teppanyaki as he never step in this restaurant. I don’t have good impression towards this franchise Teppanyaki as I always think that it is not really delicious.

It’s located at the ground floor. For your knowledge, "teppanyaki" is derived from teppan (iron plate), and yaki (grilled). So, every dishes is cook by using iron griddle.

California Roll as starter, RM3.50. Sure cant beat with other Japanese restaurant but still okay-la.

Chicken Teppanyaki, RM8.90. The chicken pieces are really GOOD. Butter aroma and tender. Not to forget, bean sprouts is a must for teppanyaki. And it also comes with a small portion of “Choy Pou”. Maybe, am not too sure.

Steamboat. I had forgot the actual price but it definitely around RM8.90-RM10. It is quite big portion and contains of prawn, fish ball, Japanese taufu, chicken, Chinese mushrooms and lot of veggie.

Fuji Snow, RM3.50. Taste wise but also comes in a big portion. It taste a bit too sweet for me.

Although we unable to dine in at Susan’s Bistro, Teppanyaki still manage to satisfy us. Affordable price with a clean environment.

Steam Taufu Aka Beancurd

2007-10-29T10:06:00.000+08:00

To all the newbie in the kitchen, this Steam Taufu is the most easiest prepared dish. It is low cost yet a very nutrition dish. For the girl out there, Taufu low in calories and no cholesterol too.

For your information, Soft taufu or also known as “Shui Tau fu” is the 1st choice to be used for steam because it contains the highest moisture.

Ingredients:

1 block of soft taufu
2 tbs cooking oil
1 tbs soy sauce
1 tbs chopped onion.
1 green onions

Directions:

1. Place Tau fu on a heatproof platter. Place platter on a rack in steamer/wok. Cover and steam over boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Pour off excess water from platter.

2. Heat oil in the pan. Put in chopped onions and stir fry until onions turn into light brown. Stir in soy sauce.

3. Pour over tofu; garnish with green onion.

Senang Macam Makan Kacang Putih Kan? :)

Six Noodles House - Plaza Prima Setapak

2007-10-19T10:59:00.000+08:00

Another off day for me, promised my mum early to bring her to come here and try the Pan Mian. Hehe... We know this restaurant few week ago when passing by this area and attempted by their outlook design of the shop. Wonder how much they used to decorate the shop.

My mum asked me: 'Put so much money to decorate the restaurant with selling pan mian when only can get back the capital? haha.. i do not know how to answer. You guys think?

I like the color of the banner! Red! Simple and attractive.

"Pan Mian Kun", They named it as Six Noodles House in English! haha... wonder why they put this name because the Mandarin name and English name is too big different for the meaning.

Main Door. See! The big water filter. Hmmm.. The water that they used should be very clean! Guess so :P

Black color tables and chairs, gave me the feeling like enter the restaurant like we always see in Chinese Kung Fu Drama.

My personally thinking, it is not really suitable for putting this in the restaurant which such 'Kung Fu' Styled decoration. Maybe they purposely using it as geomantic omen, 'Fung Sui'.

Soup Pan Mian, Quite big portion and it served with Pork ball, Little Dried fish, Vegetable, agaric, mushroom and dried onion. The soup absolutely good in taste.

The price for it considered acceptable also RM4.00 for the small Bowl and RM4.50 for the bigl bowl with such nice ambiance of the restaurant.

Dry Pan Mian, Served with Char Siu (Roasted Pork), vegetable and pork ball. The price is same with soup Pan Mian

Golden Barley! It is very special and new for me. You guys heard or drink it before? Golden Color barley! hehe... It is really creative work, they mixed it with sweet potato (番薯) and barley. It is really great when drinking it, icy, smooth and you won't feel the dreg for the sweet potato, my mum said they maybe using the sweet potato powder.

Guess what is the price for this? It only sold at RM1.80. This is the must-try drink that u must order if you visit here.

For those who want to visit this restaurant, good news for you! this restaurant is out of government tax and also service charges.

Address:
B-G-3A, Plaza Prima Setapak,

My MUST DO ACTION when there is Curry Chicken

2007-10-16T14:21:00.000+08:00

Malaysian are lucky as our country is multi-races. There are so many of different kinds of festivals and delicacies. Each races is popular with own traditional dishes. Furthermore, all these local food can be found easily at every corner of the country. What is your addiction? Nasi Lemak? Satay? Curry Laksa? Chee Chong Fun? Prawn Mee? Hokkien Mee? Roti Canai? Or any other food besides these?

The main character for today is NYONYA CURRY CHICKEN. No doubt, I am spicy lover. I like spicy lot though I cant really take too spicy food. One of my bad habit is I always wanted a small plate of chili padi+soy sauce with me every time I having meal.

Frankly speaking, this is not my cooking. In fact, it was ordered from one of the Nyonya Restaurant located at SS2,PJ. I brought it back from office as we can’t finish it. The gravy is thick and aroma of the curry is nice.

So, what will you normally do when there is a plate of curry chicken?

Correct, this is my MUST DO ACTION.

Seriously, it is very YUMMY!!! VERY VERY!!!!

If you never try it, please try it after reading this blog.

And now, it is your turn to tell me,

what is your MUST DO when there is curry chicken?

For those who are interested to cook this Nyonya Curry Chicken, may follow the recipe below which I copy from website.

Ingredients:

1.5 kg (3 lbs) chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces

3 tablespoons light soy sauce

3 tablespoons meat curry powder

565 g (1 lb) grated coconut

1.3 liters (42 fl oz) water

180 ml (6 fl oz) cooking oil

7.5 cm (3 inch) cinnamon stick

2 sprigs curry leaves

2 star anise

5 cm (2 inch) ginger, peeled and cut into thin strips

55 g (2 oz) meat curry powder, blended with 85 ml (2½ fl oz) water into a paste

4 potatoes, peeled and quartered

2¾ teaspoons salt

Finely ground paste:

6 dried chilies, soaked in water to soften and drained (optional)

22 shallots, peeled

6 cloves garlic, peeled

2 teaspoons crushed dried shrimp paste

Method:

Marinate the chicken in soy sauce and curry powder for 30 minutes. Combine the grated coconut with 300 ml (10 fl oz) water and squeeze out 300 ml (10 fl oz) thick coconut milk. Set aside the thick milk. Add remaining water to the grated coconut and squeeze out 1 liter (32 fl oz) thin coconut milk. Set aside the thin milk. Heat the cooking oil in a pot and fry cinnamon stick, curry leaves and star anise. Add ginger and finely ground paste and fry until fragrant. Add the curry paste and fry until aromatic. Add the marinated chicken and fry for 4 minutes on low heat to prevent curry paste from burning. Add potatoes and thin coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Add thick coconut milk and season with salt. Allow to boil for 3 minutes, stirring to prevent curdling. Remove from the heat. Serve with rice.

Calabria Café & Restaurant

2007-10-08T08:50:00.000+08:00

As a modern lady, I still cook almost every weekday but not for Saturday night. This is to reward myself after a long week of hard work. At first, we think of go to Milwaukee Steak House. Unfortunately, this place was really packed although it is almost 9.30pm. Thus, we changed our mind and go to the restaurant beside it.

Calabria Café & Restaurant, here we came. This was the first time we dine in here. Luckily, no disappointment and we did enjoy our meal too. Thanks to the packed like sardine Milwaukee Steak House, we got the chance to visit this restaurant.

Although Calabria is not a very high class restaurant, the ambience and decoration still able to exudes a sense of serenity. Pay an affordable price and have meal at the comfortable environment.

Mushroom Soup, price at RM6.80. Delicious as there surely has few bites of mushroom of each scope.

Spagetti Carbonara (Traditional egg yolk sauce and with ham), RM12.80. There is a choice either Ham or Bacon. The sauce was creamy enough and the texture of the spaghetti was good too.

Butter Rice + Omelet, RM10.90. Is it curious why we ordered butter rice in the Italian restaurant instead of pizza? Oh ya, he said this seem like the rice he had before in Turkey. He missed it so much. It is a bit salty but still within the acceptable level.

After reading of the above wording and picture, are you interested to pay this restaurant a visit? Below are the details of the restaurant:

Ipoh Lou Wong Ho Fun with Bean Sprout and Steamed Chicken

2007-10-07T11:42:00.000+08:00

Lunch time with my colleague, Chris when to SS2 cari makan (seeking for food) and accidentally saw this restaurant, Lou Wong Ho Fun, we decided to give it a try.

On the banner, it looks like a lot of choice we can choose but in fact when we looking to the menu, we cannot spot out any food that want to order, hmmm... the food in the menu are very common maybe our expectations are too high.

Menu of Restaurant Lou Wong Ho Fun

Their uppermost food, 'Ipoh Kon Lou Ho Fun', and 'Wat Kai Ho Fun'. The food and also the restaurant banner they put it as 'originally from Ipoh' but the chef that i saw is Indonesian, funny, i not complain whether it from Ipoh or not but the Ho Fun really not nice.

Steamed Chicken with Kuey Tiu Min. Oh my god, the flavor of the mee and kuey tiu is only dark soy sauce taste. Priced at Rm5.30 not worth at all they even didn't put some bean sprout on it. As you can see, 'Wat Kai Kuey Tiu Min is only has mee, kuey tiu and also chicken. I wondered why their banner put it as 'Ga Choy Kai Ho Fun'.

I not really like the mee that deep yellow color so i ordered only Ho Fun with steamed chicken kon lou. They sold it Rm5.30 too.

Sui Kow Tong (Dumpling with soup). We ordered 5 pieces, it was RM1.00 per pieces so total was RM5.00

The ingredient to warp the dumpling is very little and only pork, no prawn. Not nice and the texture of the dumpling not bouncy.

Cincau Soy Bean, priced at RM1.80

My colleague ordered the 'Taiwan Yam Taste Milk Tea' and i ordered Soy Bean with Cincao. The Yam drink sold at Rm3.50. My colleague commented that the drink taste was strange.

This is the branch that located at SS2 PJ, the one that we visited.

My colleague and i not dare to visit their HQ again. Lost of confidence already.

Total bill charges is RM19.90. No government tax and service charges at this restaurant.

What is your favourite dish?

2007-10-04T11:27:00.000+08:00

Is anyone out there is a fans of BRINJAL? Stuffed brinjal? Stir-fly of brinjal with salted fish and minced meat? YES! I am one of the BIG FANS of brinjal. Had forgot since when I addicted to this dish. Still remember, I don’t touch on brinjal last time. Ignore it whenever I see this dish. Told my friends, I hate it when they asked me to give it a try. Luckily I tired it finally and since then I absolutely love it to the heaven.

Above picture was taken last week. I seriously missed brinjal, so off to morning market to buy the ingredients and cook it at night. A delicious delicacy sometimes does not necessary burn a hole in the pocket. The ingredients are cheap, around RM2-RM3 only. And the cooking steps are very easy.

The sad thing is brinjal absorbs a lot of oil while cooking. For those girls who are on diet, this dish may seem like a devil for them. No worry, there is a solution for every problem.

Here comes one of the solution I copy from the Internet which able to prevent the brinjal from absorbing the cooking oil -->After cutting the brinjal into the desired size and shape, sprinkle it with salt and allow it to rest for about 30 minutes. This process will pull out some of its water content and make it less permeable to absorbing any oil used in cooking. Good idea right?

Bar B. Q. Plaza

2007-09-27T19:15:00.000+08:00

Last Sunday, me and my friend strolling at 1 Utama after working long hours with trading work.

As usual, after few hours leisurely walking at there, my tummy start to give me signal(hungry), i need to sooth it as fast as possible.

Apparently, My friend and i had identical thinking to enjoy our lunch at this Bar B. Q. Plaza. We chose this restaurant because previously recommended by one of my colleague, he gave strong compliments of this restaurant so as the food's lover we need to try it at least once.

Main door of the restaurant with TV advertisement show. The advertisement for Bar B. Q. Plaza is really interesting, i think it is really creative and also tempting, you guys must look for it before entering the restaurant.

Cute Green Dragon stands beside the main door. ^^

Information for the Bar B. Q Plaza's and you can see on the banner, they called it as Thai steamboat and grilled cuisine. Anyone see this in Thailand before? Is it really origins from Thailand?

The color paper that printed the steamboat's recipe is prepared on the table to guide the customer that doubting how to cook.

The Steamboat's Cooker. For the bulge place we used to grill the food and for the deeper place is using to deep the food in the steamboat's soup.

We was ordering the 'Deluxe Supreme Set' that cost us RM35.00 and i think it was really worth.

It served with sliced beef, sliced pork sliced mutton, sliced chicken, sliced squid, seafood's bean curd, sliced maize, mushroom, carrot, udon and much more.

You can see the food was look fresh and tidy. In fact they are really fresh cut and delicious, i love the most was sliced beef but not the pork. The slice pork's fat occupied big portion compared with the meat.

The way to mix the barbecue sauce.

Chili, garlic, lime, barbecue sauce to mix the sauce and also lard as the oil to grill the food.

Garlic Rice, special order and need to pay extra RM1.50. Taste normal not really special as i imagine.

Total damage that we had to pay was RM46.50. Overall, i think the price is affordable and for the meat's lover can have a try for it. They served big portion for the meat in the steamboat's set.

For the address, i could not get the full details, but can give the simple direction to guide you to there. It is located at 1 Utama New Wing, 1st Floor and after walk out to the Rainforest then you can see the Bar B. Q. Plaza Signboard and the cute green dragon.

With very fast decision-making, we decided to go this restaurant to have our dinner tonight. When we reached the restaurant, the beautiful ambiance and nice decoration with pendant lamp and green plant attracted our vision, it was so romance for the environment giving us the feeling we was going to the candle light dinner.

The pendant lamp delivered the feeling to me, that was peace and also serenity but not lonely.

Another part of the restaurant to serve the customer for sit.

You can see how professional they set up the desk for the customer before having the meal.

Grilled Seafood Set, It serves with prawn, squid, salmon, green oyster. Priced at RM50

Braised Lamb Shank, my favor dish for tonite, served with mashed potato, sliced mushroom and the tonite leading actor, Lamb Shank. The texture of the lamb shank was smooth and soft, the sauce to braise the lamb shank, i must give a thumb up for it, it make my relish increase. The braised lamb shank sold at RM25

GSC Steamboat @ Sepang Gold Coast

2007-09-15T13:30:00.000+08:00

Head to Bagan Lalang just for a visit to Sepang Gold Coast Project and also to try the GSC Steamboat @ Sepang Gold Coast. Not to introduce much about Sepang Gold Coast Project as it had done by Alvin. But still would like to post some photos of the villa.

Everyone, the villa is still under construction. So there is only 1 show unit opens to the public.

According to the sales officer, the price of the villa is in between RM500k – RM600k for the 3 rooms basic. The price of daily rental is yet to set. Suppose it is almost same with the Pavillion, Port Dickson. Estimate to be completed in the end of 2008. There will be theme park too. Fanstactic~ For me, it is a nice place to unwind ourselves but the location is quite far from the town. Hopefully there is a day where rain or shine, nothing could stop the people from visiting this tourist spot.

There are Open Concept and In House concept for dining the steamboat. For the steamboat set, if not mistaken, it was RM13.90 per person. It is quite small portion and taste wise. Cant deny that, the ingredients are quite fresh. If feel like it cant fulfill your stomach, there are many side dishes to be ordered. Like my favourite, fried chicken wing :) and there is only one type of soup available. That is the normal anchovies soup. For me, the steamboat is in the satisfaction level as I am more concern on the environment.

See, it is so comfortable to have the steamboat under the sky, breezy air and also facing the sea. If lucky enough, able to watch the sunset too.

So if you are looking for a day or half day tour which is not far away from the town, you may consider this place. Believe me, although there is not very attractive yet, still able to consider it as an enjoyable trip.

And After all, I am a happy girl :)

The Paradise, BALI. PART 1 - Seafood , Jimbaran

2007-09-14T15:38:00.000+08:00

Would like to start the very first post with introducing SEAFOOD at Jimbaran, BALI. It is a well known tourist spot in Bali. Actually what are the Balinese food that must try by the travelers? From my observation, Satay, Mi Goreng, Goreng Pisang, nasi campur and to name a few are the food that sure will be served during the buffet in several restaurants. Oh ya, I had tried Pork Satay there. Not to forget, suckling pig, dirty duck, Nasi Campur, Balinese Coffee and Murtabak are the authentic food in Bali. Dinning in Bali is generally the happiest thing during the travel period.

Still remember, friends will show the impression of "HUh? BALI? Is it NICE?", " Is it just an ISLAND?" when i told them i am going to have holidays there. At that moment, my answer definitely is," YES, BALI! It is a Paradise !! With the culture, Balinese building, bamboo open concept cafe, sunset and FOOD!".

Ok enough of introduction, here come the SEAFOOD!!! Was introduced by the tour guide for dining in this restaurant, Aroma Seafood Restaurant. pricey? Tasty? I had forgot about it. Somehow, it is a good experience to dine at here. Can you imagine the moment of having seafood, sunset, candle light and also with a breezy and peaceful environment? It definitely a memorable night.

See!!! Oh so Sweet to have the dinner under twinkle twinkle little star with the loved one. The atmosphere exudes a sense of romantic too even there is just a very simple deco.

Menu of Aroma Seafood Restaurant. Life Seafood available too but of course it is bit pricey compare with the "dead" seafood. So how is the price? Guess is in the midst of affordable rite?

Clam~~ I am the person who is not seafood fans but Big CLAM still one of my favorite. It was delicious.

Family portrait~!! Kangkung, Crab, Squid, Fish~ How was the taste? Picture below will give you the answer.

So, the clever of you should know the answer right now ? YES!!!!! Thumbs UP!!

Besides the delicious dishes, there are also bands singing there. The songs they sang for us are Rasa Sayang and Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin. Amazing right? Hm, sure have to give some tipping but i think it is worth for giving it.

Last but not least, BINTANG called us a day. BINTANG, an original beer produced in BALI. I am not an alcoholic, so has no comment given for it. Some say it is good some say just so so. So, why don't you pay BALI a visit and tell me actually is Bintang better or Calsberg?

Wak Lan Restaurant Bayu Malam - Sepang Gold Coast

2007-09-12T14:36:00.000+08:00

This was my first time went to Sepang Gold Coast, It is a place that near to Sepang F1 Circuit and also Bagan Lalang. My Malay friends invited me to join them to go there for enjoying the seafood.

According to my friend, the restaurants there serving fresh seafood and the price also cheaper compared with KL. As a food's lover of course i won't miss the chance to go there and find out. Phew~ but quite far also i think from Bukit Jalil to Sepang Gold Coast, if i not mistaken it is around 1 and half hours to reach there but because of the eat that is not the problem again haha...

It is a place that near to beach, you can enjoy the natural beauty of the scene at there. Besides, it is also the place that suits for the couple to enjoy the romantic environment here.

Picture taken from www.dreamvillasfl.com

If you wish to stay over night, you may rent the luxurious resorts villa at there. The resorts are developed near to the beach, you can view the beautiful sunset from the resort villa

Ya, this is the restaurant that i went, Wak Lan, They are serving Malays Styled Seafood. For me the price is not really cheap, but what i can guarantee is the seafood is really fresh.

Woww... you can see the table was filled with many kind of seafood, fried crabs with black pepper, prawns cooked with tomato sauce and also grilled prawns, grilled fish and braised fish, grilled clams and Fried squids. It was the time to soothe our pity stomach that waiting so long, we reached there at the time around 9pm.

I love their grilled Clams, the chefs controls the heat very well, the meat of the clams are tender and fragrant.

Become fatter, hehe.... plan of keep fit failed already, but plan of keep fat success :P

We enjoying the food while watching the fireworks from Sepang Gold Coast. Sepang Gold Coast welcome us with the beautiful fireworks.

The picture captured by mobile phone, cannot get the nice post for the fireworks.

The way to Sepang Gold Coast.

Total Damage RM400 for 13 person, for me it is a bit pricey but you can enjoy the sea's view while having your meal, it is worth already. The freshness of the seafood i give a thumb ups for it.

Rakuzen Japanese Restaurant

2007-09-09T21:10:00.000+08:00

Today i want to share about this Japanese Restaurant, 'Rakuzen' that i went last night with my friend. It is a restaurant that located at Jalan Raja Churan that serving the traditional Japanese cuisine.

I would say the environment for this restaurant is good, comfortable and design of the light also excellent , we enjoy having the dinner at here, it make my appetite become bigger

We know through the waiter the chefs from this restaurant majority are from japan too, no wonder i saw some of the chef was using the Japanese's language spoke to the Japanese's customer,

Well! Before that i was guessing the chef might be from Japan because of their fluently Japanese's Language now i got the answer.

Main Door of Rakuzen.

You are allow to order your food through the chef, they are generous to serve you.

Do you see the rectangle watermelon? It grabs my attention and my friend and i also wondering it is real watermelon or fake watermelon.

haha... the lamp post supposes to stand straight, this was camera man mistake.

O SSM Kurage - Soba Soup served with red color chili powder. Priced at RM18.00

Kitsune MN - White Color Jelly Fish, very fresh and chewy, you must try it. Priced at RM18.00

Zoom in picture for jelly fish

Chicken Teriyaki, i not really like it because of the taste and also the chicken texture of meat is not smooth at all. Priced at RM18.00

Unagi Kabayaki, we put a lot of the chili powder on it haha.. because we like spicy but in fact the chili powder also not as spicy as we think earlier. Priced at RM28.00

Teppanyaki Zen, i think it is worth because it served with grilled beef, fruits, miso soup, cold vegetable, and also fried rice. I liked most for the beef and also fried rice. The price only RM32

The watermelon very sweet and fresh hahaha we guess it is the rectangle watermelon that we saw it just now.

Miso soup and Cold Vegetable mixed with 'Fu yuu' and Sesame.

Fried rice and some slice of fried garlic

Teppanyaki Beef very delicious, the beef is fresh and juicy. We ate the beef with the slice of garlic. Yummy!
