[Eat] Classic Tripledecker + Cappuccino @ O'Briens Irish Sandwich Bar, Shaftsbury Cyberjaya

2013-03-07T15:16:00.001+08:00

Was invited to lunch with Finnish colleagues. We just finished our meetings so decided to dine in at O'Briens nearby.

I wasn't aware that O'Briens has established one of its franchise at Cyberjaya and I tasted it for the first time here.

I have to say that the Classic Tripledecker is just so crispy crunchy and tasty! The sensation of the crispy feel was just great! When we ordered it came with combo meal included with a drink so I chose Cappuccino. The food worth its price. Just feel like having another one. The portion was big I couldn't finish it all. It can definitely be shared for 2 person. Well if you need more for 1 person, you can always order another combo. :-)

Here some pictures....

[Eat] Gyudon (Japanese Beef Rice) @Sukiya, Kota Damansara

2013-01-23T22:41:00.001+08:00

Recently I hang out more at Kota Damansara and seek out for more delicious food around this area.
There I saw beef rice written big on their signboard and without hesitation I stepped into the restaurant to proceed my orders.

Here you go with some photos.

The 2 sets that I have ordered were yummy and savoury, especially the cheese topping! Hmmm nom nom nom!

[Eat] Roast Duck Pickled Cabbage Sang Mee @Little Neptune Restaurant, The Mines 小海王家鄉风味

2013-01-14T17:02:00.001+08:00

Finally I'm back from my busy schedule in writing this post now. Well as usual I need to fill in my stomach with delicious food. So I dropped by at The Mines as my friend needed help from me. As I walked around, I noticed a restaurant signage pretty attractive with the name 小海王 Little Neptune Restaurant. My mind straight sparkled with 'Ok, let's try this!'.

I have myself seated no one attended to me. I made a move to check the food. Realized that they are lack of manpower. So self service is the only faster way to get myself food. There are variety of dishes to choose for mixed rice. They also offered ala carte food. Then finally the waiter passed me their menu, it really attracts me to order lots of food only by the food names. At last I chose Roast Duck Pickled Cabbage Sang Mee.

It was great, the sang mee was really crispy matched perfectly with its gravy. The duck meat was so tender and delicious. I do recommend this to you guys. Give it a try.

This is how their dishes being displayed for the customers to choose/pick their desired ones.

[Eat] Chee Cheong Fun + Fried Mee Hoon @ Pudu Wai Sek Kai, Kuala Lumpur

2012-08-26T12:08:00.002+08:00

One of the best moments with my best buddy is always about getting good food especially when it's cheap and stall-like place. Suddenly it came to my mind to go to Pudu Wai Sek Kai, one of the best pick during night time. I couldn't even count the food variety choices you can choose to order. I considered the great tastiness of food ranges from 85-90%. It's FREAKING cheap! I spent about RM20 for the whole meal and you can see below what type of food I have doubled, it's all DOUBLE as we have 2 person eating.

Curry Chee Cheong Fun - one of the top chosen food there and it's definitely delicious!

Fried Mee Hoon with curry - best combination to eat with curry as it spices up the taste of it. Super yummy!

Yam Cake - Nom nom nom! Nice!

The Famous Fried Chicken in Pudu Wai Sek Kai - Irresistible man! You will see a long queue just to buy these fried chicken and surprisingly everyone will be patiently waiting for it. You will see pictures below what's the crowd like at the stall and also the place.

Barley Beancurd Sheet Dessert - my favourite dessert of all time. SLURPY!

Sugar Cane Juice - originally squeezed out from the sugar cane sticks and it's absolutely fresh! Pictures below of how it was produced by the old couple!

This is the Chee Cheong Fun, Fried Mee Hoon and the Barly Beancurd Sheet dessert Stall. Their working speed is freaking fast plus superb brain memory storage.

[Eat] Yummy Tracka Durian Snow Ice 竹脚榴莲飘香雪花冰 + Chilled Mango Sago Creme with Pomelo and Mango Ice Cream + Glutinous Rice Balls with Black Sesame & Peanut Toppings@TongPak Fu 糖百府, Mines Balakong

2012-07-13T04:09:00.001+08:00

I would like to apologize for not blogging for quite sometime as I have accidentally sprained my shoulder and torn ligament that led to slight shoulder dislocation. Doctor strongly advised not to use the laptop at the moment. So I opted to blog from my iPhone now. Hehe better than nothing :-)

Well I have to thank my close buddy to drive me out during the time that I couldn't drive at all to taste some desserts recently opened in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. I chose one of the Tong Pak Fu 糖百府 branch at the Mines so we could meet up another friend there. Still, pictures could tell thousands of words and here you go.

Durian Lover Must Eat This! Tong Pak Fu's Tracka Durian Snow Ice 竹脚榴莲飘香雪花冰.

It was so mango-creamy taste. Well I pretty much addicted to the Tracka Durian Snow Ice and thissssssss mouth-watering Chilled Mango Sago Creme with Pomelo and Mango Ice Cream.

Glutinous Rice Balls with Black Sesame & Peanut Toppings. The spongy bite feeling of this rice balls is definitely unforgettable. The more you bite it, the more you want to taste and eat it. Dipped with the Peanut Toppings -> perfect match! Definitely recommended to eat this also.

[Eat] Succulent Steamed Rare Fish (Amazon/Siamese Red Tail Catfish) + Stewed Pork Leg + Bak Kut Teh @Hou Yee Kei Bak Kut Teh Stall/Corner (好易记肉骨茶) OUG

2012-05-20T05:43:00.000+08:00

In conjunction of Mother's Day celebration dinner, we supposedly set to have dinner in one of the luxurious restaurant but after long consideration we decided to go to one place lesser people that we ate before once for long time ago. So it was the Hou Yee Kei Bak Kut Teh Stall/Corner 好易记肉骨茶 OUG. It wasn't a shop nor a restaurant but it was just corner with the normal zinc roof on top and open air space with tables and chairs. We remembered it was nice before so give it a try once again.

We ordered 2 types of fish + 1 dish of pork leg + 1 portion of bak kut teh + 1 plateful of vegetables.

Steamed Rare Fishes + Stewed Pork Leg + Bak Kut Teh + Vegetables-Yau Mak Choi (油麥菜) = Unforgettable succulent dinner.

Savory Steamed Rare Fish (Amazon Redtail Catfish/Siamese Redtail Catfish/紅尾鴨嘴/紅尾虎) - the meat texture was incredibly tender and toothsome. I did a research about this type of fish, it is known as an excellent sport fish which requires a long spirited battle on rod and line and it was being called with different names (best name I could find would be the above). It is famous as primary target species for the anglers. Not easy to catch, but it seems to be one of the common aquarium fish. In Kuala Lumpur, I hardly could be offered with such fish nor seen in any of my friends' aquarium. But no doubt, this fish was definitely a must try and the taste of it was just perfectly flavoured. Irresistible!

Couldn't resist to show you guys more on this fish. Based on the facts that I managed to research on the internet, this size is considered very small. It can grow very big and huge, some I saw was about 35kg weight. I'm definitely interested to know more about this fish.

Another view of this fish! Awesome!

Big Head Carp Steamed Fish with garlic and ginger, topped with chopped parsley

The Big Head Carp Fish was pretty big though-yummy!

Succulent Stewed Pork Leg garnished with parsley

Closer view of the stewed pork-the taste was superb, mouth-watering.

The more I look at it, the more I wanted to eat it again!

Oh! Almost forgotten to introduce their main dish actually - Bak Kut Teh. However, I think the other dishes above way too good compare to this-totally overcame it.

Romaine Lettuce Chinese Style - normal way the oyster sauce and some fried garlic garnishing.

Name: Hou Yee Kei Bak Kut Teh Stall/Corner (好易记肉骨茶)
Location: Pretty hard to spot actually, it's at a corner of a shoplot. Nearby Jalan Mesra Ria Road / Road next to Sunday's Pasar Malam (Inter-junction of OUG and Kuchai Lama traffic lights). Check out the pictures above on how it looks like.
Price: Absolutely cheaper than alot of chinese restaurants in KL.

[Eat] Yummy Chee Cheong Fun 猪肠粉 (Steamed Rice Roll) @Uni Choice Taman Yulek, Cheras KL

2012-05-06T01:48:00.000+08:00

It was a relaxing Saturday, woke up late and had lunch with sister and mum. During our lunch, I have suggested to go for a movie, we watched 'Safe' by Jason Statham. I have to say it was a great action movie, story was pretty good too. Must watch! Okay let's back to our food topic :-p. Came home and took a power nap after few previous busy weeks I have. So woke up about 8 or 9 pm, of course my stomach is asking for food again.

My sister basically shouting for food too and suggested to go for Chee Cheong Fun (Steamed Rice Roll) in Taman Yulek Cheras. So I have to get out my bed asap to get myself ready and rushed to my car, my mum also prepared herself with nice clothes. Drove our way there, luckily managed to get a car park slot for the first round. Out of 10 times, only 1 time I could get so lucky for this slot nearby to the stall. Oh yea, it's a road side/street stall but serves yummy chee cheong fun and it's famous in KL!

Pictures begin here:

Yummy Pork Balls, Plain Fish Balls, Fried Fish Balls, Fried Fish Cake, Fish Paste with Beancurd Sheets (Fu Pei). This is considered the side order food for the dinner.

Main food---> Chee Cheong Fun 猪肠粉 - Texture smooth and soft bites!

3 plates of chee cheong fun (steamed rice roll) for 3 of us with 1 plate full of the side order food.

This is how the stall looked like, Uni Choice Chee Cheong Fun.

Name: Uni Choice Chee Cheong Fun

Address: No, street stall. Located in front of 7 Eleven and opposite of King's Confectionery

Food: Thumbs Up!

[Eat] Abundance Dinner @Canton-I, The Gardens Mid Valley

2012-05-05T20:10:00.001+08:00

It's been few weeks I didn't manage to post more of my meals, was pretty busy lately. So now this weekend seems to be more relaxing and here I'm commenting on one of my restaurant food - Canton-I, The Gardens Mid Valley. They serves Hong Kong Cuisine food to their customers, very crowded restaurant and their service just great!

Question 1 is 'How would I spend a night after work and drove myself, my mum and aunt all the way from Cyberjaya and picked them up along my way to Mid Valley?'. Well the answer was my aunt rang me up and asked if I have the time to take her to Mid Valley to buy some accessories for her new toy. I have already knew that she received a gift --> the NEW iPad (iPad 3) the day before.

Question 2 is how to eat such ample and abundant amount of food Dinner with mum and aunt as shown below. It was just way too much of food. I guess my aunt was pretty excited and ordered the amount of food which can served for 10 big guys to eat. Haha just a description to show how full I was back then.

Rose-Smoked Premium Soy Sauce Chicken (RM1 Chicken) - Highlight promotion of the dinner. Portion: Whole chicken! The meat was so tender, taste was just okay.

Tasty! Three Combination of Meat (Option: Honey-glazed BBQ Pork, Roast Pork Belly, Soy Sauce Chicken or Roast Duck).

Jumbo Prawn Dumpling Soup - Irresistible taste!!!

Normal Plain Wan Tan Mee (云吞面)to eat together with the food we ordered! The texture was smooth and the spongy bite just made you feel want to eat more.

Stuffed Chinese Crullers (油炸鬼/Youtiao/Yao Char Kway) with Cuttlefish Paste and Steamed Rice Noodles. First time trying this dish, once bite, new kind of taste for me but it was amazingly nice combination of food aroma. Nice!

Our Dessert - Tong Sui: Barley Beancurd Skin with Gingko and Quail Egg Soup (白果腐竹鹌鹑蛋糖水) - Taste was just okay. Might be able to get better taste outside.

Healthy Vegetable Juice - Vegetables, Pineapple, Broccoli and Celery

Superb taste, love it! Signature Egg Tarts, Hong Kong Lotus Pastry and Baked BBQ Pork Pastry

[Eat] Delicious Dim Sum - Crowded Place@ Taiji Eatery Restaurant, Bandar Puteri Puchong

2012-04-25T00:52:00.002+08:00

One day I made a call to friend to borrow her micro 4/3rd camera Olympus E-P3 for my grandaunt 80th birthday dinner and asked her out for breakfast too. Well, she lives in Puchong and decided to try search for a good breakfast there. She recommended this dimsum restaurant, Taiji Eatery Restaurant at Bandar Puteri Puchong. When I reached there, I have to blurt out 'wow' again for the crowd. For a Chinese township, of course there will be lots more dimsum shop, and to my surprise it was crowded, this shop is located almost at the last row of the business lot. So I think I have made the right choice of following her recommendation. Please pardon me if I couldn't really write in Chinese :p I will try to put in more in chinese wordings after confirming it with my friends.

One of the prawn dimsum --> pretty good!

I think this is called 'Char Siew Sou' - Biscuit type of dimsum --> fillings were some flavoured pork not so sure what it made of.

Fried fish paste cake with sweetened sour sauce.

One of my favourite, Har Kuen - Prawn Roll --> Fried type ---- Yummy!

Hong Kong Prawn Chee Cheong Fun --> Nice!

Another type of Prawn Dimsum again but these were with parsley, hmm, pretty not my kind because of the parsley smell. For those who like parsley, I bet you will like it. The skin of the dimsum pretty thin and looked soft.

Steamed Fish Balls --> Delicious!

Chopped/Minced Crabstick Meat Dimsum -> Nom nom nom.... tasty!

Errmm, another parsley type dimsum, I think it's with Prawn. I dare not to touch it so not sure what it taste like because of the smell. My friend said it's very delicious, so I think yes.

Steamed Pork Ribs with Beans --> The taste was superb!

Stir-Fried Radish Cake - the taste is like those Fried Kuey Teow (Char Kuey Teow) but it's not noodle type 'hor fun' but in cubes of chopped radish cakes. Aroma was good and delicious!

Crowded!!! Pretty strategic location at the corner of shoplot but 2nd last row from the whole shoplot area.

[Eat] Scrumptious Chinese 9-Course Dinner!!! @Grand Palace Restaurant, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur

2012-04-20T18:32:00.002+08:00

I was very honoured to be invited to attend my grandaunt 80th birthday dinner which was held at Grand Palace Restaurant, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur (one of the top shopping malls in Malaysia). I did not search around for any review or comment about this restaurant before attending the event, purely just happy and anticipate for it.

Surprised that their dishes gave me a very good impression especially the 'Double Boiled Superior Cucumber Soup", this was the highlight of the 9-Course dinner dishes. Top note: On special request, NO MSG allowed for the dishes. Every dishes were cooked with original spices and herbs and that made the best out of it! Definitely recommending this soup to everyone, as I did survey about this soup as well, everyone agreed! Therefore, please go and try it!

Logo of Palace Group - Captured in Pinhole Scene

Palace Three Combination - Do you notice the meat with mayonaise? That's the smoked chicken - absolutely finger licking good!!!!! A must try, the aroma of it just tasted so good!

This is only my portion, sob sob sob.... NOT ENOUGH!!!!

Personal Red Wine, all fully imported from Australia. Not by the restaurant but by ourselves.

HIGHLIGHT! Double-Boiled Superior Cucumber Soup - this is definitely the dish that makes me want to dine in again with them. Absolutely scrumptious!

Each per person only (mine), NOT ENOUGH TOO!!!

Funny that the waitress straight put this on the table asked if I wanna take the picture of this whole chicken before cutting into pieces. With a shocked face of mine, I said 'Oh okay, I will take this'. LOL! Purely taken just because of the waitress. LOL!

Here! Eight Treasure Truffles Chicken/Crispy Chicken with Mushroom. This was the chicken cut into pieces. Pretty good in putting back the chicken pieces accordingly. :-D

My portion again, artistically decorated by myself. Hehe!

Two Varieties of Grouper Fish - 2 different flavour. Thumbs up for this too! See the next picture for the artistic fried fish being cooked and decorated.

Different view of the grouper fish.

Closer view of it.

Another view -.-''' , just took it for fun! :p

Pan-fried Prawn with Superior Soy Sauce - nice!!!! Love prawns!

Sautéed Lotus Roots & Celery with Macadamia Nuts - for a carnivor like me whom don't really like to eat vegetables, I would say this was very tasty and amazingly I finished up my portion.

Finally the whole meaning of the dinner with the dish name - Longevity Noodles! The noodles gravy was perfectly cooked and served hot noodles, which Chinese loves hot food, and the taste of it I just have to say one of the best I have eaten before.

Hehe again, my portion, forced by my sister to eat more vegetables by putting it on top.

A must have for a longevity dinner for Chinese - the Longevity Buns! Always comes in pink colour which always looked like a Peach. There is a story behind why Chinese used Peach as a longevity food.

And I always wondered why they always make this look like your backside.

The filling of the Longevity Buns - lotus paste with salted egg yolk - I love this! Yummy!!!!!

Dessert of the dinner - Sweetened Red Bean Pats with Sesame Dumpling. Not too sweet and very springy. Hehe!!! Nice too!!!!

Captured this for fun during the gaps in between the dishes. Alot more pictures I have taken but I couldn't put all in here, as some requested not to post it here due to their privacy purposes. Sorry for not able to share all.

[Eat] Tasty Mamak Food-Maggi Goreng with Fried Chicken Drumstick + Teh Tarik@Restoran Ajimal, Sri Petaling

2012-04-15T16:43:00.004+08:00

I know it's fattening! But when the mamak food crave strikes in, nothing can stop me to go to one of my nearby mamak restaurant that serves pretty nice and delicious foooooood! Come on, sometimes just off the routine and pamper yourself in the middle of the night with mamak food when your stomach asking for food. I kept telling myself, "Ok Alexis, after this time, you need to workout real hard to burn off the calories!". LOL!!! Well it motivates me sometimes. Hehe!

My fav! Teh Tarik (Hot Pulled Milk Tea-indian-styled milked tea) and Maggi Mee Goreng with Ayam Peha Goreng (Instant noodles with fried chicken drumstick), slurps! You can check my other post for the Hot Pulled Milk Tea.

Do you know it feels to bite on this? It's TASTY! absolutely more affordable than other fast food fried chicken and slightly bigger in size.

Yummy fried chicken drumstick, slurps, we ordered the second piece. Hehe!

Typical Maggi Goreng without chili but it was very aromatic. I guess they put in the whole spice powder when they cook it.

:p Tried to be artistic in taking food picture. Hehe! Of course with my teh tarik behind there as background.

Milo Kosong Panas (Hot Milo without Milk) - Stomach filling!

Teh Tarik! In english, it probably to be called as Hot Pulled Milk Tea. The indian-styled of milked tea. Yummy!

2012-04-12T00:10:00.004+08:00

Today has been announced to be Malaysia Public Holiday for our new King's installation, the 14th King (Yang Di-Pertuan Agong). The day started with a great beautiful morning and I don't have to wake up early for work. I lazed around in my house for quite few hours, finally I couldn't stand being just at home and do nothing. So I made a call to one of my close friends. Agreed to have dinner together in Puchong. She suggested to try hakka food in Hakka Passion, Bandar Puteri Puchong.

Deep Fry Pork Meat - Normal, can get it everywhere

Hakka Style TungPo Meat (Pork) - personal opinion, not as good as I thought like in Esquire Kitchen. Even the lady boss of the restaurant agreed and said she will definitely improve the taste. I'm glad that accepted my point of view. Will try again probably next few months to taste if she improves it.

Steamed Bun for TungPo Meat - Texture Good, Taste Good

Salted Chicken - Good taste

Paku Vegetable Dish - Nice

Chili sauce for the Deep Fry Pork Meat (took it on purpose)

Steamed Rice - Perfectly done, fragrant rice.

Drinks - Their self-made Soya Bean (Left), Sugarcane Waterchestnut (Center) & Barley Beancurd Sheet (Right) . Overall, pretty good drinks!

[Eat] Famous Delicious Beef Egg Noodles 牛肉麵 @Yang Kee Restaurant, OUG

2012-04-10T16:48:00.001+08:00

Let me introduce you this famous beef noodles (牛肉麵) located in OUG -> Yang Kee Restaurant. You just have to try this out, the taste will stay in your mouth even after you finished it probably for 15 to 30mins (maybe more depends on individual). So far nearby my housing area this is the best I could find at the moment. I just have to give it a BIG thumbs up for this! I can't wait to eat it again. Pretty hard to find a car park lot in the morning though due to the morning market stalls and the crowd. But definitely worthwhile even it is hard to find a car park.

Some tempting pictures for you to see. Hehe!

Dry Beef Egg Noodles 牛肉麵 (Wantan Mee Type) - Awesome! The noodles was so springy and texture of it just good. On top of it, the noodles were served together with minced beef meat and if you mix it together, you will know what I meant awesome! I will be back for this again, a definite!

And of course with the mixture of the beef, beef meatballs, beef tendons and beef tripes.

Closer view of the mixture of beef varieties.

Ordered small size beef noodles for my mum to eat.

They serves Yong Tau Foo too! Tasty!

Chilled Soya Bean Drink - Not too sweet, just nice! Good!

[Eat] Starbucks @Berjaya Times Square, KL

2012-04-09T23:54:00.000+08:00

It was last Friday night, we had a gathering with my high school volleyball team mates for some bowling moments. After the 3 long bowling games which ended about 11pm, we all were so exhausted and decided to go for a drink before going home. One of my friend works in Starbucks Co., suggested to go for Starbucks. As for me, it was my first time dine in Starbucks at 11pm. All of us didn't manage to take our dinner earlier because traffic jam and rushed for our gathering. I have no idea on what to order, so my friend suggested some food and drink (on her treat) hehe! Ordered, paid, got our food/drink.

Tuna Melts - This is delicious man! The taste of the tuna is just great!

Signature Hot Chocolate, topped with whipped cream - My first time trying this, simply chocolatey slurpy and yum yum!

Top View of Signature Hot Chocolate by Starbucks

Cracked Black Pepper Potato Chips by Starbucks - Lil' spicy type of potato, taste not bad. hehe not my taste but maybe to some.

Very Lightly Salted Potato Chips by Starbucks - have to say sorry guys, too irresistible to open the packet and forgotten to take the unopened packet picture :P

[Eat] Claypot Briyani + Mamak @ Legend's Claypot Briyani House, Serdang

2012-04-06T11:51:00.003+08:00

Same routine again, after work, thought of going gym but got distracted by emails and conference invitations, so head home to rest myself. Reached home, waiting for mum to serve usual dinner dishes. Suddenly house phone rang, aunt asked for mum. Aunt Mae suggested to try the claypot briyani which is still a "legend" to me, even we have no idea neither what's the restaurant name nor where is the restaurant located. Just some rough road direction given by some friends.

Adventure started --> fetched my aunt--> explore and discover claypot briyani during night time--> spotted --> dine in. Located pretty near to UPM and Serdang.

[Eat+Love] Thursday OUG Pasar Malam (Night Market/Bazaar) @OUG

2012-04-01T22:24:00.001+08:00

(*Continued from Asam Laksa post - same night)

After the tasty Asam Laksa @ Restoran Ah Loy OUG, we marched on to Pasar Malam OUG. I used to help my aunt to sell fruits here, quite an experience and fun though. The crowd is big and crazy, literally walked in slow pace and easily get bumped by another person which caused my pictures pretty blur.

That's the sotong bakar (grilled squid), the colour of it looked dull but the aroma of it amazingly great! They have different ways to serve the squids. Example; grill , tofu pok (tofu puffs), marinated and others. Thumbs up for this!

Felt honored having 2 pretty ladies (Emily + SY) to enjoy moments with me @Pasar Malam OUG.

Managed to capture this photo even though several bumps from the crowd. Thai Roast Pork, it looks nice. I didn't manage to buy as I was way too full and pretty long queue.

Lam Kee (林記)'s Chinese Herb Salted Baked Chicken (盐焗鸡) - Best I ever had so far in KL. A must try!

She is the trademark of her stall, that's how I recognized the stall. :-D

This is how the chicken parts being wrapped in and baked using wok (镬)

Overall: Fun!
Food: Nice!

Tasty Asam Laksa

About few days back, I was being tagged in one of the high school friend's picture on how delicious and almost similar taste to our high school canteen's Asam Laksa. So we commented quite a lot on the picture and finally we got to one point that we will go and taste it together. Appointment set and our date was yesterday night, anticipated to see them again for quite sometime though.

It's good to have some gatherings with old friends to get updated/gossips once again. :p I bet everyone will do so, just to concern/care for friends. And I'm glad to have friends that could share moments with me most of the time, well sometimes fun and silly moments. LOL!

So here we were at Restoran Ah Loy, OUG (Overseas Union Garden) on Thursday night and coincidentally Pasar Malam OUG will be held here every Thursday. So our plan just got even more interesting :-), therefore after Asam Laksa, we could so some walking to digest our food and buy some stuffs from it. Sounded so well-planned and great!

Closer look of the Asam Laksa

This is the closer look of the Asam Laksa and it was served with quite a generous amount of prawn/shrimp paste, which normally we called it 'Har Ko' (蝦羔). Also, the ingredients are usually with shredded mackerel fish, mint leaves and finely sliced onions+pineapple. Probably some other hidden ingredients included in it, that might be out of my knowledge.

Add-on order : Chinese White Chicken dish

One of my friend decided to order Chinese White Chicken dish as an add-on for our Asam Laksa.

Due to the low light of the environment, the signage board of Kedai Makanan Ah Loy (Ah Loy Restaurant) was pretty dark and blur. Will try to capture better picture next time :-)

Ah Loy Curry Restaurant Menu

"Fu Chuk Yee Mai Ping" - Iced Barley with Beancurd Sheet as my drink for the night

We managed to end the bill up with more than RM30, and entitled for free Carlsberg Gold, while stocks last. (left-box view & right-bottle view). Love freebies!

Had a satisfied dinner with the girls and we marched on for Pasar Malam OUG. Pasar Malam pictures will be published in another post. :-)

[Eat] Steaky Pork Burger @Steak Out Steakhouse, Puchong

2012-03-29T07:12:00.001+08:00

It was just about few days back though. I was starving early afternoon but need to do some bank stuffs first before I could enjoy my lunch. Soon afterwards, stuffs done and my stomach is killing my mind to get food!! So I was driving around Puchong area again with a hope to find a delicious restaurant to ease my stomach.

And I found it!

Steak!!! That's all my stomach could be craving for that day! Obviously, my stomach speaks louder than my brain, so I dine in this random restaurant --> Steak Out Wine & Grill SteakHouse at Bandar Puteri, Puchong (few doors away from Citibank Puchong)

At the door entrance, there were some display pictures of their famous Steaky Pork Burger and some other menus. After some sweet talk from the waitress to try it out, I decided to go for it. I was shocked that I was the only who walk into the restaurant and dine there, no one else. Skeptical feeling immediately struck into my mind if I should step out. Again, my stomach is already screaming for food so gave it a try.

One of the waitress recommended their famous Steaky Pork Burger, so I ordered the same with some add-on, mushroom soup and garlic bread.

This burger definitely juicy and delicious, the vegetables were fresh and crispy.

Mushroom soup was okay, probably the taste of it was being overtook by the burger.

Love this phrase--> Oogling at the Steaky Pork Burger may involuntarily cause drooling which may lead to wet table.

[Eat] Cappuccino @Pacific Coffee, Puchong

2012-03-29T03:29:00.000+08:00

As usual after work, all you could think of, is just to go straight right home and rest yourself off on couch or bed. Or perhaps some bites of your favourite food before that. Well, unexpected call from a close friend to head for a cup of coffee next town before we call the day off. At first, I was tired and reluctant to join, but then who does not want to have some time off from the normal routine.

Soon, I reached Pacific Coffee in Puchong, forcing myself to take the office laptop along. Greeted my friends and made my way to the counter to order my drink. I was being welcomed with a warm smile from the cashier and we had a little talk. I think the cashier signalled to the barista to prepare my cappuccino with nice milk decoration on top of the bubbles.

This has definitely made my day with such a simple and yet nice decoration cappuccino. (probably that's how a little talk would make a difference from a normal cappuccino - little magic trick!)

What do you think? Nice? Shall I ask them to be more creative next time? :-)

Eat + Play + Love = Life

Everyone would love the phrase above, to enjoy our life purely on our desires and preferences. And here I am, just started and would like to share my life journey of eat, play and love.

I would love to hear from you all too. :-)
