What the heck U ate over the weekend?

[Sugarfree]

want good food? that's easy enough. go to restaurants that's packed with customers. you can never go wrong. examples of such food joints include yut kee & meng kee charsiewking. they are always packed with customers! :D

[gtl]

was back in subang last weekend after a 4 months sojorn, had my favourite curry mee at SS 19 on saturday morning. it was great, the flavour of lemon grass, chicken and curry powder whiff thru my nostrils.
had a nice dinner on sunday at pizza uno (new joint), food was great but the Anti pasto came after our main course, that's a bad mark to food services.

[CS Chua]

Went to Logenhause, Taipan recently. The lamb shank was quite good. The meat was tender but the sauce is average. The roast chicken is good as always. I had grilled salmon. Average only. Nothing exciting to shout about. I could do it better at home but then, the atmosphere is different. Overall it is a good and decent place for a family dinner. Not expensive like Victoria Station or TGIF and yet has enough varieties for everyone.

[AllUrban]

allurban, pizza uno's olio is very good, i also like their wild mushroom risotto, smells like heaven.maybe it's just me but my expectations of pasta are really high :eek: when I eat out...I figure if I can make a great pasta, a pro should make an amazing pasta :D

Cheers, m

[AllUrban]

Went to Thai Thai at Sunway Pyramid, it is a new joint under the SEA group (forever bangkok, absolute thai) that has (I think) replaced another restaurant that used to be there.

The decor was bright, really unlike a thai restaurant. Service was poor initially - we had to go in and the table we chose was not cleaned immediately, nor was the table next to us.

The food came fast, but the order was a bit mixed up...overall the food was really good...somewhat better than the other restaurants at the chain.

It is a good place to try...not spectacular but a good solid restaurant.

Cheers, m

Its fish fish fish dishes for me over the weekend. My son came back from Sandakan, brought back 2 white pomfrets, and 2 whole ikan tenggeri...DAMN FRESH!.. compared to what we find at market. (I cringe of the quality and expensive price at hypermarts)
One whole ekor ikan tenggeri only RM20... here's its RM22 PER KILO!.. Pomfret price here.. don't want to imagine!

Of course lah BS, a good seafood dinner with white pomfret, fresh big prawns, chilli crabs and even a lobster thermidor, bidin vegetable with 3-4 bottles of Heineken at the restaurant opposite the Custom Building in KK for 2 persons, RM105 only lah brader! That was May 2007, now cannot be much more right?

Yesterday went to Midvalley and pass by this Din Tai Fung. Heard a lot bout it but never really went in and try. So it was my first time there. Everything is similar like Dragon-i except is even costlier. Waited less than 10 mins, was already being served inside. Quite fast.

Sat down, they immediately serve the appetizer which is small plate of jellyfish that cost freaking RM3 :eek: Then slowly look thru the menu and tried their :eek: 'Xioa Lung Pao' and also a mix of shrimp & pork dumpling (not so good) in combo. After that I also ordered a fried rice with pork chop (they were generous with the pork chop) and also 'cha jiang la mien' (comes out to be very small portion).

Basically, portion on all is kinda small except for the pork chop. Even the dumpling are very small but nice. Saw the wet tissue which printed there as they are voted from the New York Times as one of the world top 10 best restaurant. :rolleyes:

Overall, food there not bad, a plate of vege is freaking expensive too but people still go there makan.

You should consider yourself lucky you only walloped one plate of jellyfish. The first time me and wifey went there, she took so long to decide on the order that by the time she was ready, I have downed 3 plates of jelly fish, I liked it mah... but when the bill came, I was the jelly fish, soft and fragile inside and outside but no sting left, ha ha!

[kokomo]

You're right Sentinel. The jellyfish was nice and did thought of ordering another plate having the thought that it was on the house. Mana tau, they charge everything we want.

[lady-o-leisure]

DinTai Fung is rated best among the Japanese as well. The main restaurant in Taipei always has a long queue outside the door way, mainly Japanese tourists.
RM3 for appetizers is the normal rate. Somehow i never did fancy DTF that much. Had better Xiao Lung Bao elsewhere at little stalls all over the city.
For the best Pork chop with rice in Taipei, go to Roosevelt Road. :D

Upon a friend's recommendation, I went recently to Pudu for a fish head dinner. This corner road side stall is opposite the Pudu Plaza and near the 7/11. It does not occupy the shop but is on the roadside at the corner. There is another fish head shop nearby but it is more expensive.

Anyway we (my friend and I) ordered their signature fish head dish, a plate of prawns (marinated with marmite) and a plate of vegetables. The fish head is quite good and portion is generous. It is not a complete head but broken up. The prawns were extra large type and there were about 8 pieces. Altogether it was $48.00 for the 2 of us. It sounds expensive but when you consider the extra large prawns, it is reasonable. But next time I will delete the prawns. I just wanted to give my oversea-based friend a treat.

[fRaNkY]

Was going to try out the Ding Tai Fung in midvalley like you guys recommended on sunday but the q was so long, I made a u turn.

So I end up eating in the Indian Restaurant nearby, uuurgh! Some rice, gravy, little chunks of chicken, 2 papadam and Masala Tea for Rm20+.... kena slaughtererd! :( There are better indian food I had eaten.

[ric]

I wish they would expand to Subang Parade, take over that Rasa Thai and get rid of it.

I thought Strawberry Fields is there in Subang Parade but closed down few years ago and in operations at Taipan after that. Some foods are good, but not for the cleanliness.

[CS Chua]

One of my favorite noodle shop is in SS14 facing the Metropolitan College. It is a corner shop and they sell various fish balls, different types of meat ball, foo chook and tau foo with fish paste. With 2 tau foo and one foo chook it usually costs me $4.60 ($1.80 for noodle, $1 x 2 tau foo and 80 cents for foo chook.) This shop is better known for its fish ball (50 cents) but they are smaller so I do not opt for it.

I always take their soup noodle as their chilli goes perfectly with it. I think the shop name is Teik See or something like that. It is always packed on weekends.

[LouisChin]

been to try Saisaki buffet lunch in KL. many variety of foods but not really tasty. i think better go Zenmai's or Genki's for sushi...

[CS Chua]

I was back in Taiping for a few days and a friend took me to this Indian shop called Chetty Nad on Main Road (near St George's.) Have to say that it was quite good. I noticed that most people had nasi kandar but we had ala carte. The fish curry was very good (I had a small fish head which costs RM5.00) Taiping folks could give this a try.

[kokomo]

Yesterday lunch, I went to Taman Megah in PJ where this Fatty Crab restaurant is. I went to this Pangkor Fish Head Curry restaurant which has been there for many years but I've never really tried it. They don't served pork there so basically is PORK FREE. No worries ;)

It's right at the corner, upstairs is air-cond and not so stuffy. They also have a balcony like to let ppl sit there if they wish to smoke. I ordered their famous fish head curry, portion is ok but the 'kuah' seems like not enough. So had to ask them to add. Also ordered:

1. Sambal petai with prawns
2. Deep fried sotong (it's big and fresh)
3. Special taufu
4. Kailan with garlic
5. Spinach with belacan

All the portion is ok, if you big eater then ok, if any small eater around then must tell them make small ones. For 9 pax, it's about RM 159.

[CS Chua]

Someone told me of a restaurant in Sg Buloh that serves crabs for RM18/kilo. Supposed to be good and popular. Does anyone know about this shop and if so, how to get there?

[Firebird]

I went to Taman Megah in PJ where this Fatty Crab restaurant is. I went to this Pangkor Fish Head Curry restaurant. They don't served pork there so basically is PORK FREE. No worries ;) They should..I don't see any Muslims patronizing their restaurant, anyway. With0ut lard, the food's flavor isn't quite as appetizing. I know lard is bad for the heart in the long run, but once in a while, it does no harm. Having said that, I personally know some people who swear that food with0ut lard tastes way better. :p

[kokomo]

Just came back from nite roaming around Penang for food. Firstly, I went to New Lane where this Sunway Hotel is located so actually at nite there is quite happening. Went there and I started moving around and order:

1. Leng Chee Kang (so so only)
2. Chu Chap Porridge (one of the best I had there, chu chap is really crispy and it even has 'char siew' in it)
3. Fried oyster (not good)
4. Lobak (so so not so good)
5. Chee Cheong Fun (apparently my friend said is nice but I don't really prefer penang style)

Then we adjourn to go Pulau Tikus for lok-lok but while on the way there we stop by this lorong dunno what is the name also but they sell nice chill coconut with pandan flavour. After drinking the coconut and if you want eat the meat in there, you can request for them to open it but there is no spoon for you to eat with it ... :confused: ??? Me too at first, but later a friend showed me how to eat with it without a spoon. Really kinda unique way of enjoying a coconut drink & eating the meat. You ought to try and no, you have to find out yourself how to eat it there.

Went to Pulau Tikus, the lok-lok stall is not open so we quickly drive all the way to Gurney Drive and it was already raining at that time and yet we still had the motivation to go and explore it. That's the spirit!!! So reach Gurney DRive there already we actually went and have this rojak fruit which is recommended by my friend to be the best there.

Stall no. 39 GP Soon which is next to the public toilet. Must try!! Then I ordered this drink which for the first time I found it only in Gurney Drive which is the Bird Nest Tea for only RM1.80 :eek: of cos without thinking twice I want to try it immediately.

Now am so full and bloated. Really satisfied with tonite's meal.

[gark]

Aisey go penang ah.. you should have tried the original (some say lah! ;) ) asam laksa at the roadside store in the market at air itam. Went there a few times very nice wor.. so much fish in the gravy, right balance between hot and sour and not expensive also.

If go to gurney drive hawker center must eat the penang fried koey teow, can't remember which store, but fried by old man. Very tasty, with lard and duck eggs :p . Go late habis liao! Best koey teow but expensive and small portion heh heh. Not hard to find.. very crowded one open 7 pm until finish (about 10-11pm lah)

Nasi kandar overpriced and overhyped, so I stop visiting liao. Not worth the money for that kind of food. But there is one mee mamak at a lorong in jalan burma, very nice and reasonable.

Also in penang should head to bukit tambun seafood restaurants, a lot of restaurant there, eat beside the river, in the kampung. Seafood is very fresh and tasty.. not dat cheap but definitely cheaper than SJ. Get mantis prawn super gaint size one , very tasty :p. Penang food much nicer than wat u get in the klang valley leh.

[aRwEn]

went to TCK 1920 hakkakaya LG flr promenade 1U.... (not to be confused with cafe 1920 at 2nd flr centrecourt old wing... )

we had tom yum seafood with rice....

n fish n chips set.... whc comes with ice lemon tea, pasta, mash potatoes, n salad....

d fish n chips is not bad... cant complain...

but d seafood in d tom yum was very obviously not fresh.... n d tom yum too salty too....

d verdict... ambience is okie, partially like a sidewalk cafe, but d food is disappointin.... price, not worth it for that kinda food....

[aRwEn]

went to sushi zanmai at 1U for lunch with a buddy....

we ordered a'la carte rather tn any sets n had....

edamame (green beans)
agedashi tofu (japanese beancurd)
stamina roll (sushi with unagi)
dragon roll (sushi with prawn n avocado)
softshell crab maki (sushi roll)
softshell crab temaki (sushi handroll)
prawn salad temaki
ebi (prawn) tempura
n refillable ocha (green tea)

i thk d waiter nearly pengsan wn he saw 2 skinny gals eatin so much!! hehe... :p

price ard RM70.... works out to rm35 per head... whc is a lot cheaper tn many other japanese restaurants that i've tried....

portions r quite generous... we had 3-6 pieces of each type.... d food is fresh, tasty, service is okie... no complaints.... i guess d oni thing is if u wanna eat there, u havta wait for a table cos there's normally a long queue.... even if u make reservations!!

verdict is: highly recommended if u like sushi.

[PeterHng]

Went oso recently to the same restaurant at Midvalley Gardens. Quite a long queue but it was worth it. Price was quite low and food quite good too.

2 weeks ago i was back in subang, went to one of my old favourite (after more than a year), it is Ah Lai Fish Head Curry at SS19. quality remains the same, so had a nice family dinner there.
recommend their fish head curry and assam prawns.........quite good.

Went to Swenson for Christmas dinner and was rather disappointed with the Christmas main courses. But the most disappointing is the ice-cream. It does not taste the same like it used to. Swenson used to be our favorite place to eat ice cream especially their Earthquakes but after this experience, we better start looking for another ice cream parlour.

You went to Swenson and not Swensen's? Looks like you have been to the wrong shop yah and thats why your ice cream ain't the same....LOL :p

[CS Chua]

You are right. It is Swensen's but still the same shop and same ice cream. However those in Thailand taste much better and cheaper too. We had 5 scoops and every scoop tasted stale. Back to Hagen Diaz... oops, I mean Häagen-Dazs .

[bslee]

The only time I enjoyed Swensens at its very best was when it was first franchised by Low Yat Group (the same who owns good old Federal Kuala Lumpur). When it changed hands much later, I think it deteriorated to just another ice cream parlor.

I'm sure all the other franchised food joints are doing the same thing. Just that we hardly hear of any genuine complaints in public. Or is it just too few Malaysians actually complain about it all?. Few or no complaints (feedback?) means NO issue. Your french fries are still fried in palm oil based Cap XXX cooking oil. Meat and vege is entirely local for sure. But our 2 most well know ice-cream brands that many of us know are now IMPORTED in!.

[Sentinel]

One tiny cup of Haagen Daz at Holiday Inn Beach Resort (Penang) is at RM16.00++ lah, crazy man! A friend of mine bought 6 small cups after lunch today for the kids and took out RM30 ready to pay, but the bill came at RM96.00++ I know his cup of ice cream won't taste as yummy anymore....

[Weezy]

found any hair inside the food?

[praetor]

Greetings.

Our of curiosity, just how many of the ice-cream franchise in Malaysia is of a reasonable standard? Reasonable for me is one where the price is not inflated to the point where the ice-cream taste horrible.

On the same note of pricing, why can't we pay something decent for something we all enjoy?

Peace.

[CS Chua]

I suspect that Swensen's Malaysia has diversified into a full-fledged restaurant. Their main income is no longer derived from ice cream. They offered a'la carte and set lunches/dinners. Their Thailand counterpart is still focusing on ice cream and is still value for money. They do not offer any meals except ice cream, at least in the town where I lived. And they are good.

Peace.for ice cream there are a few places...Baskin Robbins, New Zealand Naturals, Haagen Dazs, and a few others.

But I prefer gelato...Lecka Lecka is probably the best franchised place. Wifey and I bought 2 huge scoops at the Lecka Lecka stand in SOGO KL for RM7. I also like the gelato stands at MidValley and the Gardens.

Went to my cousin's house for post-Christmas dinner. Spent the whole evening eating home-cooked north-Indian/Pakistani food....Biryani (definitely not the same as Briyani), kebab, Qofta, Qeema naan, kheer pudding, greek salad, cakes... :eek: :D

All my snow shoveling has really helped to rebuild my appetite.

we had a weird experience durin christmas wn we went to d curve to have our christmas dinner.

initially, we had bookings at d apartment restaurant at d curve....

they advertised (on pamphlets, billboard, n their website) a special christmas promo RM55 n u can pick for a choice of 1 appetizer, 1 entree, n 1 dessert.... part of their entrees included turkey or fish.... promo from 1 - 31 dec....

guess what... it was all a marketin ploy/hoax n there's no such promo...

when i was there durin a wkday lunch time with a buddy, we wanted to order that RM55 set....

d waiter told us, it's on for dinner only.... so we asked, what days... n d waiter told us every nite, but dinner only.

later, when my family was thkin of where to go for christmas dinner, we decided to make bookings there. so i called up, n before making bookings, i asked, is d special RM55 set on for christmas dinner? n d waiter who answered d call said yes. so we made d reservations.

but we showed up on christmas evenin for dinner, n we tried to order d special RM55 set, d waiter hemmed n hawed n said, errr.... its actually on for christas eve only.... durin day time....

sounds like d apartment restaurant at d curve is into false advertising just to get customers in.... how pathetic! :mad:

of course, after i complained to d manager, they quickly took down d adverts from d website, n d billboard.... i checked n its no longer there. but ive downloaded a copy adee.... :p

[aRwEn]

anyways, back to what we're eatin....

so, we ended up at bavarian bierhaus @ curve for our christmas dinner. no reservations yet we managed to get a table.... maybe cos they r tucked away behind all d other restaurants, so unless u've walked to that part of d building, u may not know it's there.

we tried d hungarian goulash, mushroom salad, christmas set roast pork stuffed with sausage (yup, it's actually called that!), n christmas stollen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stollen) for dessert....

washed down with german beer.... :p

food is not bad....

d hungarian goulash is tasty n hearty....

mushroom salad comes with zesty tangy dressin....

roast pork stuffed with sausage is tasty.... but sthin was missin.... after we asked for brown gravy, it was just perfect! ;)

christmas stollen, which is a loaf type christmas cake n is actually more 'bread' than 'cake'.... was a wee bit too sweet....

price worked out to RM146 for 2 pax.... which is normal for christmas (or other special occasions like valentines day) set....

d verdict: food is good, price is a l'l on d high side judgin from their menu.... but d portions r huge n dishes r meant to be shared.... ;)

[CS Chua]

On the upper floor of the SS15 wet market is a chap fun stall. It is very reasonable and offers good food. They are known for their fried drumstick. It is humongous but it only costs RM2.20. Used to be RM2.00 per drumstick only but went up in view of chicken price. 2 days ago I bought 3 for lunch. No rice but just drumsticks and was very satisfying. I love chicken drumsticks.

[aRwEn]

after a walk at bkt kiara... headed for a coffeeshop in ttdi.... corner lot.... back is a mamak shop....

wow! had kuay teow soup.... its still RM3.70 per bowl!!! most of d other coffeeshops have raised their prices adee.... RM4.00-5.00!! :eek:

Merry Christmas BS... one more time! Ha Ha! Glad you enjoyed your meal.

I used to handle the McCormicks range of seasonings... wow, it was tough in the early 90s because not many supermarkets want to carry the product as Malaysians then were still new to these foreign-branded pre-packed mixes, spices and such... even the Maggi brand of local "Maggi Cook It Right" pre-mixes were doing badly in the early 90s...

[bslee]

The price of McCormicks has noticbly going up time and again since it first appeared. Price go up some more and I reckon people won't buy them, me included. There is an alternative brand called MasterFoods (Aussie I think) that was significantly cheaper when it appeared on the shelves, but now near to McCormick pricing and some even worse. I shake my head!. Sage is not easily found among those 2 brands, although western cuising use this often as another essential and common spice. What to do?.. perhaps the local supermarket or distributor ain't knowledgeable. Better distribute cigarettes lah!
And why Malaysians don't buy these often?.. #1 EXPENSIVE!, #2 EXPENSIVE!!!, #3 EXPENSIVE!!! #4 Rediculous price even for local common spice, #4 Cook western cuisine only on occasion, otherwise its a trip to Nirwana Maju for RM5 and done.

[coleslaw]

bslee,
i go to a cake supply shop and get all my dry herbs there!!!
bay leave, oregano, rosemary and what nots..dirt cheap compared to buying those in supermart. go check it out. you'll be amazed at what you can get at these shops.

[Sentinel]

BS, the trick is to buy the local spices in the local ma & pop shop... the other spices like rosemary & thyne etc only McCormics lah.... aiyoh!

[bslee]

coleslaw, recommend me a nearby cake shop within Subang where got all these please?. I may need to re-stock many of these ingredients.
Thats why lah.. we're doomed living in M'sia, imported stuff forever expensive, tax and what nots, if not because of lousy exchange rate makes it all worse. Don't even speak of cheese..even more expensive now. Sometimes I think God punished me for being born in this damn country frequently getting by with workarounds and out wits.

[coleslaw]

bslee,
i usually go to 'bake with yen' or 'chang tung' in tmn megah..same row as fatty crab. reason is, if one don't have what i want, i just walk over to the next. both are cake supply shops and in the same row.

[bslee]

Coleslaw, Thanks for the info. I'll likely pop there in this coming week since I periodically go to SS23 for my favorite chee cheong fun.

Coleslaw, Thanks for the info. I'll likely pop there in this coming week since I periodically go to SS23 for my favorite chee cheong fun.

No need go so far - Best baking solutions in USJ8 also have. Have been buying from rosemary to green tea from there. Address is 57, Jalan USJ8/2B

[bslee]

Thank you coleslaw and chookyan. I went to USJ8 cake shop (amongst other shopping at that area) and came out with a tube of sage and thyme at RM2.50 each. Not bad. NO MORE McCormicks hereon, except if I can't find what I need. Truth is, the McCormicks herbs look better and specially selected quality, whereas the bake shop one is somewhat like 2nd grade. Reckon, what I pay is what I get. Nevermind, I'll know later from the taste. Its some western dish tomorrow.

Recently, heard of this new Japanese Buffet restaurant which is already quite well known around; which is called Tenji Japanese Buffet that is equally as good as Jogoya and from what I see could be cheaper too.

Has anyone visited this place already? Any comment on it? This Friday am planning to go there for lunch. Price would be about RM29.90 but every additional hour would caused about rm10 if to sit thru the whole lunch would be RM49.90++. Is it worth it or is it not? :confused:

Worth every single cent! Their variety is pretty impressive.

[kitkat]

I went there on 31Dec.
For me, I find the salmon sashimi tasteless (just no salmon taste at all), same for the raw oysters. The tempura was horrible. The prawns not fresh and the batter coating is not the usual crispy kind.
They have counters which offers "cook to order", where you can order food by dropping your table no. into the bowls. They have steamed fish, kai lan with oyster's sauce(that's what they had that day), chinese soup (tan tong?), teppanyaki counter.
Plus cooked stuff like fried rice, scallops, pasta, butter prawns,

Feel flow of drinks including fresh coconut (botak coconut), ice cream haagen dazs, cakes counter (tried a few types, found them to be dry).

Tenji vs Shogan, Shogun has better selections.

Tenji is a very mini Jogoya.

Wow! Some say worth it to go there cos of the price but disappointed with the food quality and service yet, I see from the picture here there are still so many that wanting to try out this place.

Personally, I've been to Jogoya & it's good but some of the dishes still disappointing. From the picture that someone sent to me, I see the dishes to be quite tempting in Tenji but from the comment given here hmmm .. I'm really curious with it now. :rolleyes: :confused:

Probably this Thursday or Friday, I would be going there and hopefully my company managed to get booking for it.

[aRwEn]

for japanese food, i prefer sushi zanmai at 1U.... there's a queue there oso but at least d food has quality n is fresh.... it aint buffet tho.... ;)

[kokomo]

Just got to know that Tenji Japanese Buffet is FULLY booked from now until after CNY! :eek: So can't go there for company lunch. Any other recommendation? Other great buffet to have around. What I have in mind now is just to go back to Jogoya.

Hi Everyone

In case you are interested, I got an email yesterday about a buy 1 free 1 meal offer at Kenny Rogers, today only, to celebrate their 15th anniversary.

Cheers, m

[AllUrban]

I also noted yesterday that the Dessert's Bar in Subang Parade is offering 50% off their new menu until the 18th (Sunday).

I bought a pack of muesli yesterday at RM11, normally it would be RM22. They also have other packaged items and a good menu of healthier choices.

Cheers, m

The new Tropicana City Mall which also just launch a new branch of Sushi Tei. Booked a whole area for the company team to have lunch. Ordered a whole range of items from the menu and thinking all the food can layout when everyone has arrived; mana tau still have to wait bloody long.

Anyway, the food was nice and I like especially their Beef Steak Garlic. Awesome!! Had 2 different type of sake; its' either cold or warm. The rest is dunno what roll and roll to be tried there but for now, the menu and arrangement of bill payment is very messy. Just to pay also the Q was pretty long. People could have just walked out straight away without even noticing.

[kokomo]

It's lunch time and I've decided to try out Food and Tea which is a newly open restaurant in Tropicana City Mall as well. Sat down when there isn't much crowd and everyone made their own orders, I tried their Nissin Pork Chop which is in their menu with a recommendation remark there. From the picture, it looks like there is a lot of noodles there and even with the soup but when it came, the soup merely reaches half of the bowl and the amout of noodle; I finished it in just less than 3 mins. :eek:

There are 8 of us there and they assure us that everyone's order is in place and is taken note of. So very well, the food all came accept for 1 of my colleague which she ordered something like a pizza kind way ahead any of us and her so called pizza didn't arrive at the end. Chase few times also not attended with a proper answer and the crowd already start to come in.

I really hope these newly operate business people have a proper SOP and training to their staff before serving their customers. This could be their first and the last customer to patronize there.

Went to Seri Kembangan yesterday nite to adventure out on this long talk about Restaurant Kien Kee which is known for their hot soup (spicy). The place is rather difficult to find as I'm not familiar with the place in Seri Kembangan but luckily there is a GPS.

Reached there with all the jam about 8.40pm and started making our orders as we're ready to pig out.

1. Hot soup (with the chu chap, chicken & fish in it)
2. Fa Tiew Chicken in claypot (not as great as what is recommended in a blog, simply just normal and the sauce is thick)
3. A boil vege with oyster sauce
4. Chung Yau Taufu (cold taufu with oyster sauce and some garnishing)

I would go back there again for their hot soup and just have the pork intestine there .. simply just lurve lurve it. (sorry muslim friends, can't help eating what I lurve)

Next adventure would be the Salted Grilled Fish & the Essence of Chicken Grilled Fish in Seri Kembangan. :)

5 of us went to Shogun for lunch at 1 Utama recently and they were giving $73 discount for groups of 5 people. After discount it was like $33 per pax. It is a very good deal. The oysters and raw fish were fresh. I love their cod fish head in light soya sauce but their crabs were rather crabby. There are some new additions to their menu too.

$73 discount on Shogun, that's a extremely good deal, in fact too good to be true anyway, I guess nowadays business is very competitive till they have to go down at such rate.

[CS Chua]

During that lunch hour, it was not busy. Maybe about 6 or 7 tables with 5-10 people each table. I guess even with this promotion, not everyone is making a bee line for it.

Yesterday we were at Sunway for the State level open house. We arrived at 6:00, thinking we were an hour late, and nothing had started yet except some songs on a mini stage that was blocking access from the Sunway open plaza.

Turned out that the event was supposed to start at 6:00 which really means 7:00 if not later.

Since we were going for a movie, we decided to go back in and get the fastest decent meal we could find.

Settled for Yip's kitchen which is close to the Hartz Chicken Buffet and Nando's - but a lot better than them of course.

I ordered fried cantonese style ho fun with beef - got chicken instead :D Didnt mind. Wifey ordered honey chicken and mee hoon in soup. All very good and fast service...a good choice if you are in Sunway.

Never managed to attend the open house - saw lots of food being prepared but ah well.....



Today, went for dimsum in USJ ... er. Taipan 2 area...opposite that abandoned project that remains abandoned.

The place was packed and we thought we were there late...but more and more people started to come over.

That place we went to has so many varieties of shrimp dim sum, har gao etc...I really liked it and would go back soon.

Cheers, m

Was at New Paris last nite celebrate Chap Goh Meh... maybe pack with diners but food not so nice. :(

d food there has deteriorated.... its soooo different from when they were at those squatter huts last time.... when they were there, d food was tasty, d service fast n good, n d prices reasonable....

since they shifted, they hire unskilled foreigners who cant cook to save their lives... they put too much salt n msg in d food.... food is tasteless cept d salt.... fish smells stale n has weird stuff in it....

we were there early last year.... one d waiters (dunno from where... myanmar probably) was so rude n tried to chase us away when we wanted to park our car.... n when we finally were able to make him understand we r actually eatin there.... it took abt 15 mins cos he can hardly speak any local of d known languages commonly spoken in msia.... n english, no chinese dialects, no malay....

honestly, i wonder why they hire such ppl to spoil their own business!!

since then, we've never been back there again.... used to be quite regular customers b4 dat oso!!
:(

[gary yap]

We ordered 'yau zum' and the fishy smell is strong. Place still packed with people tho. Don't think I'll go there again.

Was at Changlun, Kedah which is very near Bkt Kayu Hitam area. I can tell you that place is starting to develop. When every where the shop closes except for the mamak or the nasi kandar shop, there is one Roti Bakar Kopitiam. To my surprise and of cos happy, went there and try.

Ordered:
1. Half boiled egg
2. Kaya Thick Toast
3. Garlic Bread Toast
4. Nasi Lemak Special
5. Nissin noodle with egg and sausage
6. Ice Milo (kaw kaw nice)
7. Lemon Tea (kaw kaw sweet)
8. Enrich hot chocolate

At least a decent place to lepak other than the regular nasi kandar shop you see there. :)

Today went for an event and tried this Master Chef Cuisine food catering. I find their food not too bad and the way they manage it also quite clean. I love their sweet and sour fish and their beef rendang. So long didn't had it already and now I miss my nasi kandar. hahaha..

Last Saturday morning went to USJ 6 Court 2 where recently the talk about beef wantan noodle. So went there and tried and indeed the beef is good. Very tender the way its made but the portion for the noodle is very small only and expensive in a way. RM6!

Will I go back there again? Definitely a yes. :) This man wantan noodle is good and I especially like the "ngau lam". They have it in soup or kon lo style. I tried only the kon lo style so next time will try the soup.

[gary yap]

I had Tangkak beef noodle in Mcca during the weekend, good also. New premise is cleaner and bigger in Bkt Cina.

This stall is in Court 2 at the corner coffee shop which is facing a tyre shop. You can see a bald man with a headband there. And I don't think they open at nite. Advise to go there in the morning or early lunch. Otherwise sold out. ;)

Went to Restaurant Caff, Pizza, Grill, Pasta at Bandar Puteri Puchong with 2 other colleague because one of them had insisted that I try their "superb" mushroom soup.
Reached 1 hour from Glenmarie and was so hungry.
So without wasting another minute, we ordered the following:

1. Mushroom soup - No longer available
Was told by the waiter that some customer complained that it was not up to standard, so their boss scrapped it out of the menu.

2. Smoked salmon Pizza - Nothing to shout about poor serving of salmon which doesn't even taste like smoked salmon.

3. Cheese Nachos - ULTRA Disappointment, big time!!.
It was basically some crushed Chachos chips, sprinkled with canned pineapples, Mayonaise, and very little cheese.

4. Macaroni with Scallops - Almost tasteless.
Scallops were overcooked, with white tasteless sauce. A packet of instant macaroni would taste much better.

5. Chicken Lasagne - Also tasteless.
Pasta was not cooked thoroughly and the sauce was poorly done. imagine eating lasagne with half a teaspoon of raw pizza dough...

Overpriced beer so ordered 2 green tea and 1 mineral water.

Total damage: RM 87+ and used the "never coming back" card.

[aRwEn]

had home-cooked food....

macaroni n cheese, not d instant type...

german bratwurst sausages with onions n garlic....

n c*cktails....

;)

[bslee]

When I can afford it, I'd make my own pasta cabonara consisting of 3 kinds of cheeses in the mix. Philly cheese, bits of blue cheese and parmesan. Yummy!.
Cannot do so often nowadays lah.. for no blardi reason, prices of dairies have shot up and rather rediculous!. Certainly not due to Aussie or NZ dollar. Your SCS butter is somewhat breaching RM10 a bar!

[AllUrban]

Finally had a foodie weekend, eating out for 4 meals!

Saturday lunch

Went to Fish Gusto, a new restaurant in Taipan. I ordered the fish & chips and mushroom soup and garlic bread, wifey ordered a fish filet.

The soup came out cold but I had them reheat it ... but it was a bit like paste and less like soup. Garlic bread was warm but not toasted (I prefer crisp garlic bread).

The fish & chips and wifey's filet were excellent.

The total cost was about RM30

Saturday dinner

Went to Subang Airport to have seafood. I noticed that the "Mama Chops & Papa Grill" was closed down. Also, there is a road widening project and flyover being built so the parking lot in front is gone.

Lala Chong's was open and busy as expected. We ordered bihun lala, sizzling taufoo and Tuna Paku pakis. But wifey made a mistake and ordered clams so we still ordered the bihun lala.

As usual the food was good. The taufoo was hot and sizzling and the clams were great. The paku pakis was crispy and had a good flavour...and afterwards, we mixed the sauce from the paku pakis with the bihun lala to bring the taste out.

Total cost was RM51!

Cheers, m

[AllUrban]

Sunday Lunch

Went to Logenhaus in Taipan for the chicken and egg salad (7.99 for lunch combo) and Spaghetti Bolognaise (13.99 for lunch combo) plus garlic bread.

Logenhaus can really make nice garlic bread and it went nicely with the soup that came with the combo. The spaghetti was nice and al dente and the sauce was thick.

The salad was reaaaallly nice and tasty with thin strips of chicken and boiled egg and a good mix of veggies and capiscum and tomatos.

Total Cost was RM28

Sunday Dinner

We went to Sunway so we decided to try Pasta de Gohan, which is a client of wifeys. Going in there was quite a surprise - the menu is huge so it takes a long time to decide what to eat - and the prices are quite steep too.

We ordered a carbonara, a wafu pizza and a gratin noodles. The portions were small but the meal was filling, with all the sauce & cheese.

Total Cost was RM75!

Sunday dessert

After dinner, wifey's sister went over to J.Co and bought a package of mini-donuts...so m had his first donut in 6 years! It was a very strange concoction, black sesame on top and cream sauce inside.

I dont think these donuts would sell very well in Canada.

Cheers, m

Went to PJ State and wanted to have the tai chow Sam You but then later found out that its' actually no longer in business and is taken over by this Restaurant PJ Baru which they have a branch just behind this CIMB bank in PJ State.

So went and try them anyway since there isn't any other options left there. Ordered a baby kailan (choy tam) and talapia assam fish. Both came out not too bad and since it was their first day operation there the cook actually came approach us to see how is their food. Frankly, I told them that their food not bad but the assam fish wasn't that hot enough when they dish out to us.

Pricing side is quite reasonable and from their receipt they actually wrote down how many gram is the fish. 650g and for assam style is RM20; as for the vege is only rm7 at a very odd number they charge.

[CS Chua]

One of our favorites is Tropicana Penang in SS14. 2 nights ago, 3 of us had:

1. Sting ray fish curry
2. Kam Heong fried beef
3. Ladies finger sambal belacan fried

Together with drinks (like chendol) it was about RM40.00 and since anything above RM30 has a 10% discount, we paid about RM36.00

The portion was large as we had a hard time trying to finish everything. The Kam Heong beef (beef fried with curry leaves and chili padi) was very good.

[kokomo]

Yesterday evening was at 1Utama so pass by this new shop called Lammeeya which is opposite Kluang Station. Everything they sell is Lam Mee in different style and it smells kinda tempting from outside.

So went in there with my friends and we start to order:

1. Set 1 - Original Lam Mee + Gyoza & some foo chuk + green tea
2. Royal Milk Tea (which actually taste the same like my regular usj2 coffee shop made and only thing here more expensive'lah)
3. Mocha Hot (which I think when it serves cold is much better)
4. Toast bun (bun is big but the kaya + peanut butter + butter is miserable)
5. Half boil egg (not really cook and not hot)

In terms of ordering the service is fast and the lam mee came out very fast; I think its' ready already but for the drinks, gosh! Just for the 2 drinks it takes longer than the food to arrive.

[gary yap]

Had a cookover at my fren's place yesterday. Simple fare of nasi lemak(basmathi rice), curry chicken, spicy sambal, fried eggs, cucumber, fried chicken. Simple but POWER! Also my syrup bandung. :D

[fRaNkY]

Tried Noodles House at Jaya One. Super steep price but ok noodles.. Explains a lot why it was not packed.

Any where to recommend to get a place with lots of choice for noodles at reasonable price?

Last 2 days went to Tropicana Mall City for lunch at Santhini which is just next to San Fran Steak House. They are actually under 1 group and sharing the same kitchen but serve different food item. Not bad concept.

I had their set lunch of Rm14.90 - roast chicken wif mashed potato and vegetable. All I can say is that their portion is as miserable as San Fran set lunch but slightly bigger than them. Food wise not too bad and service too. They serve bread and pita to dip wif their olive oil + black vinegar + fried garlic in it. Not bad!

[fRaNkY]

Eat like that everyday kena do wing chun and taichi with unca pat. hehehe :D

Saw the daily specials on Subway and finally went and tried it yesterday. Not bad, get to choose the type of bread, different type of condiments to mix in. 6 inch long only for the promo and is at RM7.50 and I thought it wasn't enough for me so I took another 6inch :eek: ended up too full.

That is only for lunch and nite same also ... sigh! :(

Yesterday night went again to Seri Kembangan area and this time is the Grilled Salted Fish restaurant which has been a long talk about.

GPS not working well, so gotta do it the old fashion way, stop by the side of the main road and ask around and luckily people around there are nice, they'll tell you the direction which is not too far away.

Reached there wasn't that many people but to have the fish it really takes a long time to come. Ordered:

1. Grill Salted Fish (the skin cannot eat & don't even try the salt cos it's really salty)
2. Essence of Chicken Fish (wrapped in aluminium foil with its' ingredient and once arrived on our table only they pour the essence of chicken onto the fish infront of us) :)
3. Kangkung Belacan - nice
4. Special taufu - good

For 3 pax it cost about RM68. It opens till late but how late I don't know. Roads are narrow in there and anyone drives a bigger car would have to park further as not to block the narrow road.

Went back to Living Food in Damansara for their famous Lum Mee. We used to live there and patronised it regularly until moving to SJ. The taste is more or less the same, the ful chuk is very nice and the sambal belacan gives the Lum Mee a kick. Only complaints are the prawns are smaller and the meat is less. Sigh.

Speaking of dry bkt, the one in Sunway is nice. It's facing the field in the housing area along the Caltex station.

[Sugarfree]

Speaking of dry bkt, the one in Sunway is nice.have never tried the dry variety because to me the soup is the killer. no soup where got nice one wor?

[gary yap]

They'll give a bowl of soup kosong.

[Sugarfree]

They'll give a bowl of soup kosong.oic. so the soup is served separately. in that case, i think i'll give it a shot. :)

[gary yap]

Give it a shot? :confused: The pork are cooked so no need to give it a shot, won't kena swine flu.

[Sugarfree]

Give it a shot? :confused: The pork are cooked so no need to give it a shot, won't kena swine flu.give it a shot as in giving it a try but you know that already, i'm sure. you're just playing with words, aren't ya? what other things do you usually play with besides words, eh? :p ;)

I met 2 anutie yesterday.
One in a chinese restaurant at Digital Mall usj19.
It is my second visit to that place, quite pack by that time. So, me and family sitting down and wish to have dinner.
Before order anything, i ask for a baby chair, this auntie say no more baby chair.
What a big restaurant only have 2 baby chairs, finally i decide not to take dinner at that place, you know la....... with a 2 years old baby, to take dinner without baby chair, don't talk about enjoy the dinner, you almost cannot take your dinner.
Before i leave the place, do you know what the auntie say ??
"Baby, i lost my bissness becouse of you.....", how can she put the blame to a 2 years old baby. This is your own mistake, you only have 2 baby chairs, yet you want to do bisness. Very funny.

2nd aunties is somewhere at usj1, a coffee shop type of 'tai chow', one i pack my car, the auntie (lady boss) come out to welcome us, ask 'Sir, how many pack?', then she saw us with a baby, then she ask ' Do you need a baby chair?'.
You see totally a difference way of doing bissness.
While ordering, the lady boss know how to arrange for your food, she don't give you a very big portion for your order. Finally, the food server in a very reanoable time and portion, finally finish the dinner at less then RM90, and everyone was happy with it.

The one with the green tip stick? :D Yeah! Good stuff... the stuffing taste better than the one further down (blue tip stick). Thats my favourite! :p Had that on friday...

However, like the bbq sotong, ham, etc further down.... the chilie powder and honey makes the bbq more delicious...

[gary yap]

Expensive la. The basic white is RM1.30, green I think is RM1.50, black I remembered RM1.80. Makan few sticks with my fren cost us RM16.60.

Was at Sooka Sentral for lunch yesterday and today.

Yesterday went to this Chili Express and ordered their Nasi Ayam Percik. Not bad. They also have western food and itallian food served there but the best is their local and mamak food. For upstandard price on the local food is pricy.


Today went to Centro there for lunch and they have this set lunch with variety of main course selection.

1. Soup of the day or Salad
2. Main course: I've selected nasi tomato with ayam masak merah (spicy)
For the main course you can also choose chef recommendation of the day.
3. Free flow of drink: Lo hon ko

Both services also not bad and food also came quite fast.

[kokomo]

Today had lunch over at Tropicana Mall - Mr. Teppanyaki and the owner of this actually has Chicken Rice Corner and also Station Kopitiam. Same like any other Station Kopitiam, that few staff there all also foreigners, service level is not there and food quality also not there. Only thing is good is the price. One of the cheapest place for food in this particular mall.

Only 7 pax, all order is in set and yet they are confused with the number of set we order and number of drinks we're supposed to have. Nothing against them but I think they should really look into their service and food quality served. I banned this place as long as I see the same people there and same service given.

At Teppanyaki cooking area, behind it you can actually see wires in bundle, leader, tools and etc. So bloody messy!!!

[kokomo]

Last Sunday wanted to go Esquire Kitchen for lunch but then got to find out that they are under renovation so went on to search for alternative and finally decided to try Crystal Jed over at The Gardens.

Initially didn't really want to try their La Mian cos afraid that it would turn out disaster like Dragon-i and I saw the La Mian was made kind of different looking at other tables that has ordered it.

At that time around 3.15pm, I was already pretty hungry and hoping that they would bring my order faster and at such hour the main restaurant of Crystal Jed is already close for lunch which means I can't go in there but the small area outside operating on dim sum and la mian can still be order.

The moment sat down and look at their menu, the set menu was quite ok to order so I've made a few orders:

1. La Mian with beef brisket (very good - its' now my new fav place for this)
2. Steamed Siew Mai (nice and pretty normal)
3. Steamed Pork Ribs (nice and pretty normal)
4. A plate of egg tart (the moment you put into your mouth, you can feel that it melts in your mouth)
5. Pan Fried Carrot Cake (only 3 pcs but each of it inside it has 'lap cheong' as their ingredient and the style is different from the normal you get from hawker or from Canton-i)
6. Siu Long Bao (this is better than Canton-i & Dragon-i)
7. Pork Dumpling with Chilli Sauce (more like Sichuan or Shanghai style)
8. Jellyfish with spring onion (nice & fresh)
9. Cold beancurd with century egg (nice but a bit salty, if not eaten immediately it looks a bit lumpy but I recommend to try)
10. Cold cucumber with sesame oil (must try too)
11. (1set) La Mian with pork & beancurd (comes with small plate of jellyfish, 2 pork dumpling & dessert(mango pudding); simply just worth it if you can finish).
12. (1set) Vegetable fried rice with pork ribs (comes with a bowl of double boiled soup, 2 pork dumpling & dessert(glutinous rice coated with coconut); the fried rice is nice to try and portion just nice and again is worth it).

Was @ Tropicana Mall 2 weeks back but didn't try anything as we kena Kanna before that. As you enter the mall via B2 car-park there's this shop selling Penang food and the Assam laksa smell is fantastic, not sure bout the taste. Anyone tried? The following store is the oyster noodle, anyone tried?

I think the Penang food shop you refer is Penang Village. I had lunch when they just open. The service was poor and slow and the food so-so only but very pricey for the serving.

Have not tried the oyster noodle yet.

Attended a friend's 'Open Office' in Kepong yesterday, instead of the normal caterer she used the service of the Hainanese chicken rice and nasi lemak seller to cater. Very nice, especially the combi of chilli and ginger, not forgetting the 'siew yoke'.

When you come into Jalan Jengka from the traffic light of SS15/17/18/14, you'd see on your left a row of 3-storey shoplots. The 1st lot is Penang Mamak shop. The other end is Sri Devi.

Their curries are nice.

But I think their other branch (HQ) behind FAM SS3 is better.

HA HA Kokomo, I also asked the same question awhile ago. Passed by it about 9.30pm and still many customers. It's only 1 week since it's opened yet can attract so many customers. Wanna gauge opinion of how good is this Batu Road Chilli Pan Mee. Anyone knows?

[PeterHng]

Finally, we've made it to Ipoh Cowan Street Chicken Taugeh and Kuitiu yesterday evening on the way back to Penang.

Didn't realised that I passed by this shop so many times when i stayed in the Syuen and Excelsior Hotels.

We arrived at about 6.30pm. Few tables were taken. Only the old couple (I think the owneres) were serving food and drinks without any assistants. We thought it's going to be like this the whole evening but to our surprise within half an hour the whole restaurant was full and their 4 restaurant assistants came at 7pm. Business was very good. I think it's every evening like this. Thank God we arrived earlier or we may have to wait already.

3 of us savoured the Chicken & gizzards, taugeh (Beansprouts) & kuitiu (chinese rice noodle). It was delicious. For the first time, my daughter said all dishes were delicious especially the kuitiu. We ordered half a chicken with gizzards, big taugeh and 3+1 bowls:) of kuitiu plus drinks.

All in the bill came to RM41.80. I think the price is reasonable.

Was a bit disappointed that they don't serve rice. other than that everything else was perfect. By the way, we saw a row very nice Flame of Forrest trees blooming at the side road next to the 4D shop:)

What! you must be a very BIG eater,You are correct,the herbs (lemon grass) are plentiful that's why it's so tasty!I even told her to add more varitietis of noodles like meehoon/mien not only glass noodles.I find the glass noodles very difficult to chew on.

On Thursday I had some fresh English fudge (maple sugar and walnut flavour) from Jim Garrahy's shop, located next to Windsor Castle in Windsor, UK.

I was literally eating it in fingernail-sized bits - just to keep it lasting longer :p

(Reported this in another thread but realized that this is a more appropriate thread, so here goes.)

Two nights ago I ordered take away at the 'tai chow' stall at De Happyland. Had 'siew-yuk' rice. It was so terrible, I only took a few spoons and threw the rest away. Not only that but I ended up with a tummy upset, going to the toilet like 4 times! Never again! :(

If anyone is looking for Sarawak laksa, I tried this hawker stall in USJ8 which is quite good. They say they are from Sarawak but the proof is in the eating.. ;) The stall is located in a new coffee shop just beside the police station so there is not many other stalls yet at the moment.

[gary yap]

They are from Sarawak, nothing wrong but just the cooking. I'm a Hakka but I can't cook Hakka dish :D

[zinglicious]

Can hardly figure taking a roti canai from a chinese stall in Malaysia though have been taking it from Malaysian Chinese in USA. Actually I dont mind taking the food prepared by knowledgeable chef but in Malaysia a lot of bosses let thier foreigners simply dished up the dishes like Char keow tiau and etc after taking them straight up from worker agencies just a couple of months. Looks simple but it takes a lot of practice and skills to cook it right. Malaysian bosses are simply too lazy now.
Even my maid cum worker was with me for two years, she was only allowed to heat up my sauce and cutting veggie. The only thing she was allowed to cook was my Nasi lemak and sambal and even then the ingredients was solely prepared by me. Asking here to pan sauteed a steak.... well she would not know waht is medium rare and cooking a piece of meat is not exact sciene.
But I got to give her credits as she is even better than the Taylor College student.

[gary yap]

It's all about educating the people on how to cook and giving that person some time to get the feel of cooking it but really, some foreign workers don't even know what you want and give you the wrong thing. Nevermind but taste also lain macam.

Just finished lunch near my office Chinese coffeeshop in Seri Kembangan. One of the best char kuey teow I had. Shop is the same row as KFC on the other end.

[PeterHng]

Just had sort of tea time just now at Kopitiam 333 abt 6pm while waiting to pick up my daughter from USJ12 school. It's located next to Arcadia Apt.

Ordered half-boiled eggs, teh tarik and toast.Waitress didn't tell me I can order a breakfast set which is much cheaper if ordered with Kopi 333 whatever it's this kopi. They charged me separately. That was not the main issue.

The eggs came almost fully cooked. told the waitress it was already cooked and she can still ask "Boleh makan ar?" Was wondering, "If I want to eat boiled eggs I'd hv ordered that". But nah.. didn't argue with her. Told her I want it to be changed.

Toast was so-so only la. Teh tarik was not nice at all.

They were trying to copy Old Town Kopitiam but without any aircon and any tastes but charging almost like their prices!

Would try not to step in this restaurant shop again.

As far as the stupid waitress is concerned, egg is egg in Indonesia, so "boleh makan ah"....

If it had been me, I would just walked away...

Anyway 333 won't last long lah... the toast is powdery, signs of 'old' bread not well baked....

I dont think he should do that... or you will never decide what to order... in fact his choices quite a bit. Just try a little of this and that and then ask him to customise.

I remember there was a thread started by him... and some recommendation from lato :D

Try the green tea cooler ... wonder how he shave the veggie so long

[zinglicious]

This week, two limited editions of American VIP drinks are on sale, A Kiss and Autumn Sunshines as I just got the handful ingredients. And recommendation of the week are USA grade A scallop just like the same size and quality which was served to US celebrities back in the States. The things not served to the US folks and serveing right now right here are Baked Curry Fish Head with yogurt and Baked fish head OO7 ( 7 ingredients with infused ginger olive oil and etc....non spicy. The fishes are packed and frozen at sea from New Zealand. There is why no MSG is needed but reservation is needed. Check out from my website under Go to 'healthy with no MSG' thread.

Thanks franky once again for explaining to fellow bloggers what to order.

In my old menu at Zing Zang, I had regulars so no problem of having over 160 choices. Yes, a whopping 160! and at least 130 of them vailable at any time. Over here, it is more or less the same though I package it under 5 courses menu and express menu which consist one singular choice like pasta, bread, rice, noodle, porridge for those who wants thier food fast. None of these are precooked except for my nasi lemak ayam.
Another way for tasting the variety of menu is my sunday buffet which is priced at RM19.90 with 2 days advance booking. SMS my cell number and it is acceptable until 6 p.m. this weekend.
And if you really have some important guests to impress, I would customised 6 to 10 courses meals with menu like Black Cod Fish, norwegian salmon, lobster, mussel triplex, USA graded scallop,...............
Well, like franky said , you be confused with the list. Tell me what you wish to eat and I take it from there. it is important the meals impressed your guests as you are the host. As for me, it is important to impress you as you are paying me and trust me to design the package for impressions.

Yesterday went to PJ just behind this New Paris Rest. there is this place which has been operating there for a long time already called Lilycenario Cafe.

Was over there for lunch with my group of colleagues to celebrate June Birthday babies ... there since it's my first time there, I saw on the menu lilycenario chicken chop with salad. Thinking that was something quite unique from there so I tried. It turned out to be that the chicken chop actually taste like my mom's cooking of chicken with potato sauce. Of cos added with some lemon skin slices/shreds there.

Then I ordered their tea which is good. I tried the usual peppermint tea and it's refillable.

The salad that comes with the chicken chop is actually more than the chicken. Definitely tak cukup makan! From outside the sign says it serves no MSG. Anyone who is into health with food can try out this place.

Where is this place franky? Never heard before one ... I don't mind trying out this place.

[fRaNkY]

Opposite the TOyota and local government office in subang.... Down from SS15 to subang parade... traffic light turn left... after petrol station.... before turn back to ss flyover.

Had Kenny Rogers takeaway at Subang Parade tonite, after the kids pestering since last week. Taste not as good as last time... everything :(

Where is this place franky? Never heard before one ... I don't mind trying out this place.I think there is a special thread started by the proprietor himself in this froum... under MSG free food or something. It was a surprise to me to like the food there and I like the settings / environment. I recommend trying out Zinglicious.

[zinglicious]

The salad that comes with the chicken chop is actually more than the chicken. Definitely tak cukup makan! From outside the sign says it serves no MSG. Anyone who is into health with food can try out this place.[/QUOTE]

Many places advertise no MSG signage, but ...how many chef knows that MSG is E621 or permitted food enhancer that is present in a lot of premixed sauce and even in mashed potatoes? And in soya sauce and oyster sauce?
I am not really disputing the shop is using MSG indirectly, but it pays to check especially if anybody have a pre exisitng medical condition like hypertension, heart failure or cancer to stay away from it.

In fact, my brother who returned from New Zealand and is somebody with Wellington city council did not know that he should not take diet coke as he is abstaining from sugary content as he is diagnosed with diabeties. Imagine his surprise, when he read about the facts and figures at the www.msgtruth.org. The worst part is his son is an brilliant doctor practising in Australia.His other son is also pursuing medical degree as well!

For more info, try to read on the thread under "healthy food with no MSG" and log on to www.zinglicious.blogspot.com for redirecting info on artificially sweetener and enhancer like MSG with other sites such as american heart association, american cancer society and etc.

My intention is to educate people about food and not discredit genuine caterers having the same vision to provide good meals and not artificial nice food. In fact, customers who came can acknowledge the fact I would be happy to serve healthy food that is acceptable in taste than telling me it taste is far more superior than a lot of places.

by the way, my blog has a wikipedia map overview if you click on the complete profile.Kind of jumbled up as I am not internet savvy to organised it properly. Just happened to be a chef and medical detailer - too old to learn how to blog properly.

Kenny rogers advetise less salt , less fats ,but just wonder why they would advertise no less MSG for their chicken ?
Taste not as good as last time.... the final answer to who wants to be a millionaire is D : somebody forgot to rub some MSG to the chicken!

Very confusing directions you giving .... :confused:

[kokomo]

Had dinner yesterday nite at this place in Jaya One called Brisik. The setting not too bad. Quiet, not that many tables around and not that many people too. They call this place Kuala Lumpur Cuisine which have mixture of Indonesian, Thai, Western, some part Chinese and Malay food.

After looking at the menu, I just ordered their Thai Beef Fried Rice. Came with the usual. The keropok, 1 kicap sauce (not bad but I don't prefer to use additional kicap), 1 blend green sambal and the unique of the thai beef fried rice with the sauce and some part the normal rice colour there. Decoration is good.

Suitable for 2 person chit-chat but if in a group sitting outside would be a good choice cos the indoor environment and area is really small.

[gary yap]

Now in HK. Last nite had mixed beef noodles, very nice but the funny thing about their vege is they steam and mixed with 'fu yu'.

[in]

I made Nyonya laksa Melaka yesterday, with instructions given by my mother-in-law. It was my first attempt and quite good......even if i do say so myself! Its quite easy just very time consuming peeling all the bawangs and stuff. My blender died, and so had to do it the old fashioned way. I pounded the stuff for nearly an hour (my lesung is very small, had to do it bit by bit). Ate with meehoon, and with prawns, fishcakes, shredded chicken, tauho-pok, taugeh, timun strips and garnished with daun kesum. Very wangi!

[Sentinel]

Just had my lunch ... free lunch actually as it was packed lunch given out by a neighbor whose baby girl turned full moon today!

As usual, like most Penang full-moon packed lunch, it is made by Eaton Food, one of the better ones in town known more for its ang koo kuih.

Inside the box, pulut kuning (about 1 bowl size), chicken curry (1 whole wing), 2 red-coated aggs and 3 Eaton ang koo kuih.

Finished all and left nothing for the wifey ha! ha!

The Eaton Shop in Penang is well known for its Ang Koo kuih Raikonen. Its skin is really soft and its inti (fillings) is really yummy. If you ever come to Penang, you should look for it, its at the Batu Lanchang area.

Ah .. now the GPS in my mind is much more clear of the directions given.

[zinglicious]

Zinglicious is right opposite Toyota showroom, and just beside dual petrol stations of Esso and Shell. It is the first corner shoplot of Wisma Dicor which was formerly Wisma Padicorp. Ontop of the signage board are four flags of USA, Italy, Malaysia and China .

Many thanks for uploading the map, PeterHng. You are given two baked USA scallop on the house just like what was served to the US celebrities as token of appreciation.
P.s. Would be appreciated if you can upload it to the thread of "healthy with no MSG".

[PeterHng]

No problem. By the way, what's your name, beside being the Boss?:)

[zinglicious]

My name is Tan, Alwin Tan from Ipoh Mari. And kindly call me for the reservation for the scallop as a token of thanks for uploading the direction map in the thread.
If it impressed the US celebrities, I am sure you like it, too! If you can make it friday nite, I can even seat you in the Chef Room. So see ya!

[PeterHng]

Thanks Alwin for the invitation. We may not be able to make it this friday as there'd be a car club mthly TT going on which I normally don't attend but since it's being held in Subang Jaya, can't escape lor..

We (3 of us) may probably drop by this Saturday night for dinner. I'm sure we'd be very impressed as well.

TQ:)

My friends wanted to try your place during lunch time on a weekday but apparently, twice he went there and found it to be closed. You open for business on during evening time?

[kokomo]

I had my lunch over at Lynn's cafe in ss15.

Ordered:

1. Yong Chow fried rice + kiwi fruit juice (good)
2. Assam pedas king prawns + vege + rice + green tea (so so not too good)
3. Thai mango fried chicken + vege + rice + ice lemon tea (chicken is good)

They also served variety of set for the month of July as they are having a promotion. Haven't got the stomach to try all yet. Overall if you go during lunch time, it's quite warm until you sweat. Can't feel the fan nor air-cond.

I should try there again and this time during dinner. ;)

[monkey01]

I had a lousy breakfast this morning, the gerai next to Maybank SS15 increased their nasi lemak price. I paid 3.80 for a small pack of nasi lemak daging rendang without egg and ikan bilis(realized that after reaching home)....... isn't that too much :mad:??? I'm gonna blacklist that stall.

It hangs photographs of its VIP customers including Omar Shariff, Sean Connery, Jane Seymour and Celine Dion (and hubby Rene de Angelis).. and also Jodie Foster and firends (Chow Yun Fatt & wife, Bai Ling, Deana Yusoff) during filimng of "Anna and The King" in 1998.

Simple and powerful testimonial.

[gtl]

Had Penang Thousand years restaurant in taipan for dinner last nite... the ju hu eng chai sauce is so sweet.... yeuch!

Better take a trip to penang during school holidays... for makan2 and jalan2 :D

[kokomo]

Yesterday lunch, drove all the way to Kuala Selangor since in the mood. Went to Hoi Wan Restaurant and found almost every restaurant there are pack. Cars parked everywhere. Luckily managed to find a spot.

Ordered:

1. Fried bee hoon with mantis prawn
2. Deep fried sotong
3. Steam crab
4. Kam Heong crab
5. Siong tong lala (lala in soup)
6. Steam fish

I notice the standard there drop a bit. Only thing I really enjoyed other than the steam crab is the fried bee hoon w/ mantis prawn and the steam fish. However the seafood there still remain fresh & cheap. :cool:

I have been eating the bitter gourd pork noodles at Unlimited restaurant, SS14 and it is really good. The portion is very good too. I like bitter gourd because it is healthy. Now, I can get my regular supply without having to cook it at home. The stall closes every Sunday.

Split the bitter gourd in halves first and soak it in water for a few hours before slicing them, this takes away the 'bitterness' and makes the bitter gourd less dry. One simple dish would be to fry the bitter gourd in an omelette dish, don't overfry so it taste fresh and green. Good for diabetes patients lah brader, reduces glucose reading level (like ladies fingers).

The best I have tasted done this way is at Lucky Restaurant in Seri Complex in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei. :D

[CS Chua]

Thanks for the tips. With the bitterness lessened, maybe my son will not boycott it. :) I love it with omelet or roast pork.

[gtl]

bitter gourd, very good with Fish Head!!
