    Klang Valley: Square Dotz Cafe @ SS2

    Klang Valley: Square Dotz Cafe @ SS2 – Invited by a friend, Arvin to check out the Square Dotz Cafe at SS2 few days back as there’s some sort like a music night where indie bands play and sing song. I didn’t really stay long for the music but it was a cool one.

    Square Dotz Cafe located in one of the bungalow in the SS2 neighbourhood. When I’ve got invited to there, I thought it’s some sort like the music cafe, the Chinese call those 民歌餐厅 Min Ge Can Ting, turned out it’s a bright little cafe with very simple decoration. What’s interesting is the murals which were painted by a group of Taylor’s University architecture students. I’ve no idea who they are. Haha. It’s kinda hard to classify this restaurant, it’s a mix of local food with a bit of western food. Fusion, I assume.

    Benson & Arvin.
    Hock, me & Ching Yi.

    Friends told me the food were pretty expensive, but it seems to be still OK with price all less than RM20. They’ve decided to eat somewhere else and only ordered a drinks there. Well, since I was there already, why not try out their specialties?

    Here’s my order, Beef Rendang with Basmati Rice (RM16.90). You can opt for chicken instead and the whole presentation does looks good to me. Basmati rice is those Indian rice and its fragrance was interesting and nice. As for the beef rendang which has a good aroma, but then I wish it to be more spicy that it will be awesome. Overall, it’s not a bad try.

  • Klang Valley: Curry Wan Tan Mee @ Aman Suria (Shang Yi Fatt Kopitiam)

    Klang Valley: Curry Wan Tan Mee @ Aman Suria (Shang Yi Fatt Kopitiam)

     
    Klang Valley: Curry Wan Tan Mee @ Aman Suria (Shang Yi Fatt Kopitiam) – Now I have started working as an intern at a small interior design firm in Aman Suria,so I get to try different different food around that area during lunch and some times dinner too. Few days ago, my colleagues brought me to Shang Yi Fatt Kopitiam to try out the Curry Wan Tan Mee.
    It’s a typical Chinese coffee shop but there’s only one stall operating during lunch hour and that’s the Curry Wan Tan Mee. At first, the colleagues told me we were going for “Curry Mee”, I thought it’s the same as Penang Curry Mee but turned out different. There’s only yellow noodle and the wan tan mee noodle, there’s no bee hoon mee or koay teow. Then you can pick the choice of fried wantan, siu yok (sio bak), char siu (cha sio) and/or si hum (cockles) for the ingredient of your noodle.
    I picked wantan mee noodle with si hum and siu yok (sio bak) and it costed me RM5.50 for that medium bowl of noodle. The stall was very generous in putting the ingredient as there’s plenty of cockles and siu yok. It’s a OK-good bowl of curry mee, with nice siu yok too, it’s just that it’s not spicy enough for me. If it has the Penang Curry Mee-type of chili paste then it will be awesome.

  • Klang Valley: Yum! Kopi @ The Mines

    Klang Valley: Yum! Kopi @ The Mines

    Klang Valley: Yum! Kopi @ The Mines – Went to The Mines Shopping Mall last weekend to check out the coolest book fair in Malaysia with cheapest book but then I didn’t know what’s good to eat at there. Checked the information map and didn’t find anything interesting also and ended up in this cool name – ‘Yum! Kopi’ Restaurant.

    Shop front of ‘Yum! Kopi’.

    ‘Yum’ means drink in Cantonese. =D It’s just another Old Town/Papparich-style restaurant, well since our main thing at there was not to eat so we didn’t mind a lot.

    Nasi Lemak. I like the sambal and the curry chicken is pretty spicy.
    Mushroom Chicken Nissin Noodle which I find it nice although it’s just instant noodle. Hahaha.

    Hahahahaha. Nothing much to comment, the Nissin noodle taste better than the nasi lemak, but the nasi lemak is not bad after all, better than Old Town in my opinion. So if you are looking for cheap bites at The Mines Shopping Mall, you may check out this one.

  • Klang Valley: Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie

    Klang Valley: Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie

    The exterior of Levain. Looks pretty cool.

    Klang Valley: Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie – ‘Boulangerie’ means bread shop and ‘Patisserie’ means a type of French or Belgian bakery that specializes in pastries and sweets and ‘Levain’ is the name of the restaurant/cafe/bakery that located near the very busy area of Jalan Imbi/Bukit Bintang, but then it’s hidden around that area on a row of bungalow houses.

    The restaurant.
    They are famous for macaroons!

    If you are from around KL, then you will know about Levain, but if you are like me from Penang. nevermind, let me bring you there now. I’ve heard some good reviews from my KL friends and finally I get to visit it during a lunch with my dear Clarice. It’s not very hard to find actually, but GPS leaded me there.

    Ohhh, so many cakes! So pretty!

    It looks pretty awesome inside with bakery at the entrance and sittings inside and also outside. Since it’s my first time, I don’t really know how to order, the person asked us to find a seat ourselves and that’s it. After asking again, it’s actually order your food at the counter, you can pick some pastry too, and then tell them your table number when ordering, pay it and wait your food to be served. It took me some times to do the ordering because I didn’t know what to order at first, there’s so many nice food on the menu and I want them all.

    Wahhh, OKOK-only.

    So, I ordered their famous a Spaghetti Seafood Aglio Olio (RM12.50), a Mushroom Chicken Soup (RM6.50) and a Turkey Ham & Cheese With Rice Pizza (RM18 for Large).

    I like this! Mushroom chicken soup!
    Spaghetti Seafood Aglio Olio. Yums.
    Turkey Ham & Cheese with Rice.

    Wanted to try more by stomach couldn’t take more already. I like the Mushroom Chicken Soup, it’s so creamy and the Spaghetti Seafood Aglio Olio is nice too. For the pizza, I feel so-so only, because I don’t really fancy rice on it, and not that much of meat. You maybe will like it, but not me.

    Me and Clarice.

    Clarice looking happy after the meal!

    Overall, it’s a nice place, and I’ll come back to try more, perhaps the fresh baked pastry.

  • Klang Valley: Delicious Mali’s Corner Koay Teow Basar & Nasi Lemak

    Klang Valley: Delicious Mali’s Corner Koay Teow Basar & Nasi Lemak

    Klang Valley: Delicious Mali’s Corner Koay Teow Basar & Nasi Lemak – When we talk abou Char Koay Teow, we know it’s the fried flat noodle with Chinese-style soy sauce fried with cockles, eggs and beansprout, that’s the Chinese-style. How about the Malay-style? It’s almost the same, but it’s wet! Yeah, wet as in watery filled with gravy and they are delicious, believe me.

    See the queue!

    I’ve heard that Char Koay Teow Wet or Koay Teow Basah (Basah means wet in Malay) originate from Bukit Mertajam, Penang. I’ve tried a nice one in BM, but in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur, it seems to be a better one in my opinion!

    Queue for Nasi Lemak!
    Nasi Lemak Ayam Panas, looks interesting.
    Cheap also. RM4 for small, RM5 for big and Special is with extra shrimp and that’s RM6.50.

    Mali’s Corner is the name of the stall located near to TARC (Tunku Abdul Rahman College) which starts business at night, there’s another one outlet with a proper shoplot setup at Platinum Walk on Jalan Genting Klang too. Surprised to see that there’s a long queue for the Char Koay Teow Basah as well as the Nasi Lemak. The queue was not really long, less than 10 minutes can get my hands on a hot plate of Char Koay Teow. However, if you want to order Nasi Lemak, you have to queue again, so I’ve my friend Wei Lee queued for the Nasi Lemak and I queued for the Char Koay Teow.

    They both tasted very well to me and I like both of it! The gravy for the Koay Teow Basah is thick, and very good aroma and it has big cockles! As for the Nasi Lemak, the rice has a nice strong fragrance and the deep fried chicken is crunchy to my loving.

    Got to thanks Wei Lee for introducing me this place. =) By the way, I prefer this place @ Taman Bunga Raya then Platinum Walk because this is more authentic.

  • Klang Valley: Dragon Door Steamboat 龙门客栈火锅店

    Klang Valley: Dragon Door Steamboat 龙门客栈火锅店

    Ground floor is not the steamboat. You enter via the stairs beside, but then the ground floor restaurant has the similar design.

    Klang Valley: Dragon Door Steamboat 龙门客栈火锅店 – My friend Wesley has been telling me how good and special the steamboat is and I went to tried it last week, I felt … OKOK-only.

    You will be welcome by a wall of the shop owners photo taken with some celebrities. Do note that some photos are repeating to create a illusion that super celebrities were here before. Haha, but in fact, there’s quite many celebrities have been there.
    The interiors.

    What’s so special about this Dragon Door Steamboat at Cheras, near to Leisure Mall is the interior setting which is very cool, warm and got feel, and then the steamboat is fired by a real charcoal pot which many people claims that it taste better like this. I was not really surprised with charcoal steamboat as there’s one in Penang already.

    Guys of Diploma In Interior Design @ Taylor’s University – Arvin, Moh, Gino, Steve and Wesley.

    There’s no set menu, it’s all a la carte where you order the dishes one by one of your choice which I find it’s pretty difficult to get satisfaction, more over we are student and keep thinking how much it costs in the end. There’s plenty of sauce for you to mix and match to be eaten with your steamboat that I feel is nice.

    Oops, photo was bombed by the steam. Anyway, I very hate Si Chuan Spicy Soup.

    Whereas the soup were pretty good too except for the Si Chuan spicy soup which I’ve never fancy about all the while, I like the pork leg soup which surprisingly didn’t result in the craving of fluid like other steamboat’s soup does that has lots of MSG.

    Us again.

    Well, it’s a nice place, a little bit pricey and confusing that they should have set menu, and I prefer La Mei Zi in Penang.

  • Klang Valley: Miraku Japanese Restaurant, Paradigm Mall

    Klang Valley: Miraku Japanese Restaurant, Paradigm Mall

    Petaling Jaya: Miraku Japanese Restaurant, Paradigm Mall – Miraku, Miraku, Mi-rak-U! Sounds familiar to you or not? It’s the same restaurant at the G Hotel Penang, and it’s now at Paradigm Mall, Petaling Jaya. I’ve been in Penang for so long but never went to the one in G Hotel because I always think it’s very classy and elegant and exclusive, but suddenly it appears in a normal shopping mall here in Petaling Jaya. Funny?

    Selling the same food, with the same name but locates in a very hidden area of the mall, Miraku didn’t has much visitors on yesterday’s lunch. In fact, there’s like two tables only.

    They have set menu, starting from RM20++ and I’ve got to say, the staff were really friendly, maybe there’s not many people to serve, I guess? Haha.

    It’s a gathering lunch with a long time no see friend, Wanyi who has just came back from Australia, who were also in the same class when I was in Semester 1 and 2 in Taylor’s University. Yeah.

    Talking about food, price is already standard, more than average yet acceptable to me. So I guess, I might visit the one at G Hotel Penang the next time. I ordered myself a Gyu-don Set, and I’ll let the food picture tell you the stories now!

    Appetizer for all, a chicken something salad with broccoli and some other stuff. OK-yummy.
    My Gyu-don Set (RM28++). You will just have to ignore the bad photography skill as I were too hungry to snap photo. The restaurant was not selfish that there’s a bowlful of beef slices. A separate bowl of half boiled egg to be poured into the rice makes the eating experience for interesting. Set comes with chawan mushi, miso soup, salad, and a fruit. Yeah, so far this is the place that gives the most beef.
    Sushi-Set.
    Chicken Teriyaki Set, with rice.
    Oh-gosh, I’ve forgotten the name of this Udon, it’s cold by the way.
    Tempura and Sashimi set, which seems very very interesting!
    The Sushi and Tempura Set which is also very interesting.
    A group shot of us. Headcount time! – Me, Connie, Danille (nice to meet you), Quenna, Wanyi, Arvin and Henry.

    Picture steal from Quenna’s instagram. =D

    Total bill bombed us with RM290 for 7 of us, but happily and surprisingly, we got a 30% discount because Henry has a HSBC credit card! Oh, that’s a lot of discount with a final bill of RM200. Moreover we were given an extra RM20 of cash voucher.

    Very good service, food is also very good and fresh which I like, but it’s not my always-visit Japanese restaurant, because of the price, or until I get a HSBC credit card first. Haha.

  • Petaling Jaya: SS2 Durian Buffet Is Not Bad At All

    Petaling Jaya: SS2 Durian Buffet Is Not Bad At All

    Petaling Jaya: SS2 Durian Buffet Is Not Bad At All – Surprisingly, the durian ‘eat-all-you-can’ buffet at SS2, Petaling Jaya is not bad at all. Funny thing is the durian buffet is all year long and has not effect from the the durian season. Anyway, since now is the 2nd durian season of the year and I don’t want to be left out from the durian trend, I went to eat with my friend Arvin and Hock Sheng.

    They have website somemore! www.durianss2.com
    Me, Arvin of Indonesia and Hock Sheng.

    I only know how to eat but don’t really know how to buy. It’s dad that pick and buy durian all the time back at home and durian cost like RM15/durian. You know, I have once ate 4 durian that costed us RM100 in Balik Pulau, Penang! No idea why. But interestingly at here, it’s RM15/person here and you can eat all you can. You can find a row of similar ‘eat-all-you-can’ durian at SS2, but we went to the corner one as it has the most people. They have different rate, RM9, RM15 and RM25. Well, no idea RM25 is it the best durian, so be safe in the middle.

    Durian, here’s the durian.

    Sit down and the person started opening durian and put on the table. We just eat, some was good, some was not, just throw them away. They will open a new one again until we say stop. =D Surprisingly, they are not bad at all, perhaps my tongue is not a golden tongue that can detect awesome durian. But then, still feeling good with the durian taste in my mouth. Not bad, not bad, can try! At least, we can ignore those bad durian without additional charge.

    By the way, share with me how to see good durian!

  • Petaling Jaya: Otak-Otak & Nasi Lemak At Mapley 223

    Petaling Jaya: Otak-Otak & Nasi Lemak At Mapley 223

    Petaling Jaya: Otak-Otak & Nasi Lemak At Mapley 223 – This is a super halal post because Mapley 223 is a halal food court. Oh yeah! This place was introduced by my friend – Hock Sheng from Universiti Malaya and he told me that there’s cheap Malay-style otak-otak and also nasi lemak, so here we go!

    Mapley 223 Food Court, 223 is because it’s near to Jalan 223.
    Me and Hock Sheng, the friend who introduced me. The friend who sat beside me in class in high school.

    Once entering the food court, don’t be shock by the stalls worker touting you asking you to eat their food. Just simply wave your hand, say no and wander to an empty table. Sit down, again, don’t be shock by the stalls worker walking towards you to ask you order their food, nasi lemak, maggi goreng, nasi goreng and more, and also the teh tarik and stuff. Don’t bother them if you know what to eat, or even don’t so that you can take some times looking around what to eat.

    Yellow and green, pick the green one.
    Hot and fresh otak-otak.
    Bloody red otak-otak, looks weird, but taste OK.

    We sat down and then my friend say don’t bother them. Wait for a guy drop a green basket of otak-otak, only start eating it. Just don’t bother about others. They will know how to calculate how much you have it cause they knew how many they put in initially. A very different style of otak-otak, with very sweet taste, a little bit of spices, and somehow less fish meat than those Nyonya’s style. It’s a good snack at RM0.60/otak-otak.

    This is the nasi lemak stall that we went for.
    And it’s RM2.50 for this plate. The rice is nice.

    He also told me that nasi lemak there is also good and cheap. So yeah, the fragrance of the lemak rice is indeed good, and too the spicy hot sambal just compliment the rice well. It’s just RM2.50 for this plate of nasi lemak, you can add more side dish too!

    Well, I have found a new place for snacks/supper! It’s Mapley 223.

    Mapley 223 / Medan Makan 223 / 223 Food Court

  • Good Pork Noodle 猪肉粉 At SS3 Restoran Kean Fatt

    Good Pork Noodle 猪肉粉 At SS3 Restoran Kean Fatt

    Good Pork Noodle 猪肉粉 At SS3 Restoran Kean Fatt – My friend CC introduced me to this pork noodle stall located at SS3 Taman Bahagia and I went to try it out this afternoon! Located just at the back of the Taman Bahagia LRT Station, it’s not hard to locate this little kopitiam of Restoran Kean Fatt.

    It seems promising when arrived as there’s quite many people waiting for it. “Oh, it’s gonna be a long wait like the 45 minutes pork noodle at SS15”, I thought. Made my order, as usual with my favourite koay teow noodle (local call it hor fun) and I sat down, chat with Hock Sheng who was the company of the day and wait.

    10 minutes passed, 15 minutes then, it’s arrived! It looks good with plenty of pork lards (very unhealthy) and a bowl-ful of ingredient. Saliva drops for just looking at it. RM5.80. Soup is rather salty, but it’s still good! Awesome pork made me un-describable. I finished the soup by the way.

    Well, it’s better to wait at here than the 45 minutes at SS15. Haha.

    Pork Noodle @ SS3 Restoran Kean Fatt
