Apple Crumble by Plan B

Apple Crumble by Plan B – Plan B, one famous restaurant in the Kuala Lumpur is well-known for the Apple Crumble tart. I have never eaten Apple Crumble in my life before, nor visited to the Plan B restaurant.

With some much of introduction and recommendation from my friend, finally I went to the nearest Plan B restaurant at Paradigm Mall @ Kelana Jaya.

Please ignore the thumbs up and focus on my face. Thumbs up is for you, not for the food. XD

It was a little tea time meal for me and my girlfriend, and Apple Crumble Tart was our only order at the restaurant. The service was kinda slow at that time although there’s not much customer in there. I wondered, why?

With much expectation, the Apple Crumble Tart (RM12) have to be good, I thought. Finally it’s arrived on our table after about 15 minutes of waiting. Sour cream, and the tart. Lovely looking little tart on the table. It’s a sweet little Apple Crumble Tart, but did not give it a go. I think the problem lies in our oriental taste buds. Perhaps, I am not a fan of Apple Crumble Tart. =D

So now, give me Apple Pie now, or Sherperd’s Pie, perhaps the Chinese Egg Tarts?

By the way, the interiors at Paradigm Mall is not fascinating, you should visit the outlet at Publika, Solaris Dutamas.

Best Penang Asam Laksa In Klang Valley @ Asia Cafe, SS15

Best Penang Asam Laksa In Klang Valley @ Asia Cafe, SS15 – Ladies and gentleman, I have found the best Penang Asam Laksa in Klang Valley and it’s located at the famous Asia Cafe at SS15, Subang Jaya!

I am always in search of good Penang-food in Klang Valley, when I craved from Asam Laksa, I usually will go to the Kedah Asam Laksa at Taman Bahagia open-air food court there. Now, this new one at Asia Cafe will probably replace my visit to Taman Bahagia.

Why it’s so good? Because it’s run by the daughter of the famous Air Itam Asam Laksa in Penang! So it’s very authentic. Price is of course higher than Penang, at RM5.00 per bowl. They sell Curry Mee also, but I am more interested in Asam Laksa and the original stall in Penang does not sell Curry Mee.

Taste wise is very good. I finish the soup, but then one imperfection is there’s very little fish in the soup. Too bad.

I won’t abandon Taman Bahagia’s Kedah Asam Laksa, I will visit both as they have different taste. =)

They Say It’s The Best Char Koay Teow @ Restoran Seng Lee

They Say It’s The Best Char Koay Teow @ Restoran Seng Lee – I am so sorry, I am from Penang and I don’t taste that it’s the best Char Koay Teow in Klang Valley yet. Many people told me about this good Char Koay Teow at Restoran Seng Lee, Damansara Heights, I went to try it and I feel the taste has a very strong taste of pepper and garlic. Where’s the lard and soy sauce? Maybe it’s their very own style. It’s still very far from Penang’s typical Char Koay Teow.

It does not taste bad, it’s OK, but then the koay teow (local call it hor fun) is small and it’s not my favourite. They use different koay teow for this. Well, I am still in search for good Char Koay Teow in Klang Valley, please hit me at the comment area! =)

By the way, it’s RM5/plate! And it’s just not my type.

Nice Brunch @ The Red Beanbag, Publika

Nice Breakfast @ The Red Beanbag, Publika – Publika! One of my favourite place in the city. It was one fine Sunday morning, almost noon that my family were in town and wanted to eat some cool and nice brunch as it’s pretty late. Then I thought of taking them to check out Publika, at the same time brunch at The Red Beanbag Restaurant as I’ve read that they serve breakfast set.

It was pretty crowded that Sunday morning as we waited about 15 minutes for a table. After being seated, it’s time to order and eat! I ordered myself a Big Breakfast Set (RM20) which comes with a little portion of baked bean, bacon, beef sausage, bread, hash brown and two cute poached egg. Yummy! Everything was fine, just the portion is small to me. Perhaps it’s breakfast set?

Mom and brother ordered the Egg Atlantic (RM17.90) which is a small French toast, topped with smoked salmon, snappy asparagus, mushrooms and pached eggs with a smooth hollandaise sauce. I tried it and I think I favor this more than my order.

Dad want something that has a bigger portion, something that can filled his stomach well and he has got a Fowl Luck (RM25) which is roasted chicken thigh with herbed potatoes, mushrooms, olives & mushroom gravy. Dad is more of a oriental food eater, so this kind of dish was a bit too light for him.

Afterall, it was a good brunch session and will come back another time in the future. =)

Uncle Jang Korean Restaurant 닭갈비

Uncle Jang Korean Restaurant – Was feeling Korean food last weekend, searched all over the Internet for a decent and affordable Korean food but the list was just too much. I couldn’t narrowed down my choices, and ended I found this Uncle Jang, affordable and authentic Korean food, serving only Dak-Gal Bi.

Was very curious with the food name. I am not really familiar with Korean, Japanese is OK, but not Korean and I am not a fan of Kpop too. Found out that Dak Gal Bi 닭갈비 is BBQ chicken with spice and vegetable, then eat with lettuces and later add on fried rice, ramyun noodle and more. Sounds interesting!

Off we go to Ampang, the little Korean Town to search for it. There’s a branch at Bandar Puteri, Puchong but I insisted to go to the original one that filled with Koreans. =D

There’s only Dak-Galbi at there. Minimum order is two set, non-spicy (RM19) and spicy (RM22), You can mix it up to become mild. Then you can top-up fried rice or noodle and other (RM6) to eat with it. Else, it’s all chicken and vegetable.

Sit down and wait for the people to cook for you. The taste is OK-spicy to me. Not super spicy, just good and you get only 2 ban chan – some kim chi and onion. After eating about 2/3 of the chicken, you can ask the rice to be served. The person will again fried the rice in front of you with the ingredient left on the hot plate.

Taste? Good, don’t really like wrapping with lettuce, but eating with rice or noodle is awesome! BUT! 2 set for 2 of us is just so so much! I think it can serve about 3-4 people!

Satisfied, good service and no service charge. I will come back again in the future.

Breakfast Wan Tan Mee At Taman OUG

Breakfast Wan Tan Mee At Taman OUG – Was craving for Wan Tan Mee (noodle) this morning and went to the one located at PJS7 Low Cost Flat area but it was not open. Then the place ‘Taman OUG’ came up on my mind as it was somewhere in between the way to the city centre then off I went to that place.

I recalled once I had Wan Tan Mee at there but have forgotten about which stall and coffee shop it was. Randomly, I went to the coffee shop (Restorant Swee Hing) that has the most people. Parking was a big problem at that area, but I still managed to find one. Wan Tan Mee stall located at the front was the first thing that greeted me so I quickly ordered one to easy my morning hungryness.

RM4.50 for the above plate of Wan Tan Noodle, with plentiful of char siew, 3 wan tan in soup, a little kai lan and the springy noodle. Oily as it seems, but the noodle was springy enough and the soy sauce was just nice to my taste. Too bad there’s too less kailan vegetable. Char siu was so-so to me although sweet. As for the wantan, it’s not bad afterall. It’s just another kind of wan tan mee if were to compare to Penang’s. Penang’s has lard in it!

Please introduce some nice Wan Tan Mee place in Klang Valley, Kuala Lumpur, PJ. =)

By the way, kopi-peng costs RM1.90! This is KL, duh…

糖百府 Tong Pak Fu Hong Kong Desserts

糖百府港式甜品 Tong Pak Fu Hong Kong Desserts – Went to Paradigm Mall today after class as I have a long break in between the next class and tried the Hong Kong desserts shop – Tong Pak Fu. This one is the real desserts franchise from Hong Kong, not to be confuse with the Penang-made Snowman Tang Bo Fu.

There’s various outlet of Tong Pak Fu in Malaysia, you can find it in Suria KLCC, Empire Shopping Gallery, Paradigm Mall and soon opening in Penang too! Tong Pak Fu serves a variety of Hong Kong desserts like Mango desserts, sesame paste, walnut paste, beverages and more icy desserts. There’s curry fish ball too!

We were really too free and spent about an hour plus at there. Taylor’s U is kinda stupid lately because they arranged my timetable in a poor manner. We have an hour class in the morning and in between we have about 6 hours break. What to do? Eat Tong Pak Fu. Check out the desserts that we have ordered.

Mango Fluffy Ice Series. RM8.80 for regular, the ice is very nice, love the pop eggs too, but not the tasteless Nata de Coco. It would be better with real mango cube. But overall, acceptable. =D

Horlicks Fluffy Ice Series. RM11.80 for Large. Pretty nice with grass jelly topping and the taste of horlicks in the ice is very strong. Good for horlicks fans.

Red Bean Paste. RM4.80. According to my friend Jia Hui, she said this is not good. The taste is weird and too saturated.

Sesame Ball. RM5.80. Basically, this is plain glutinous rice ball tang yuan with sesame topping. It would be awesome if there’s filling inside.

Well, I have got to say they are so-so only, the pictures in the menu do indeed look awesome, but taste wise is just normal. I would prefer Hui Lau Shan for mango and KTZ for sesame paste. =D However, the fluffy ice is very cool here.

Afternoon Lunch At Kim Gary With Friends

Afternoon Lunch At Kim Gary With Friends – Back to KL, different lifestyle back here, no more heritage seeing, cycling, sunset/sunrise searching and street food, life in the city is always shopping mall, driving, restaurants and that’s it. Different place, different style of life.

So, Sunday went to where? Went to Ikea, went to eat Kim Gary at The Curve – the kidnap mall with friends from, err, everywhere, Connie from Sandakan? Henry from Johor Bahru? Arvin Medan, Indonesia? Only Laiquen, the only KL local. Haha.

Super crowded at Ikea and The Curve and spent almost half of our afternoon in Kim Gary Restaurant. It’d been ages since I’ve visited Kim Gary Restaurant. Last time I used to visit it all the time when I was in Penang, but now very seldom already.

After eating until so full, we went Ikea for a while. I think there’s more people shopping in Ikea than at Tesco at that time. I’m starting to get bored of Ikea already because I’ve been there for so many time and I know where is what and the price. Haha. Although it’s boring, I still bought stuff, some storage box and a Golden Gate Bridge poster (will share other time when my room is clean XD). Well, I am waiting for a new term of Ikea catalogue (2013), guess soon already?

Anyway, check out the food we had today, not reviewing, just some food p0rn for you. =)

Cheese Baked Seafood Abalone Rice.

Member’s special – special mashed potato, with crab stick, cheese, and shrimp.

Western set – chicken chop, pork chop, ham, sausage, sunny egg, rice and some vege.

Spanish fried rice, my order, mussle, green lantern chili, tomato, onion, shrimp and ham, tasted spicy and sweet.

Pork chop rice!

Ochado Signature Bubble Tea @ Paradigm Mall

Ochado Signature Bubble Tea @ Paradigm Mall – It’s post about Paradigm Mall again, I am not promoting, just can’t help myself from sharing with you guys of what I have tried at the mall. Here’s another F&B outlet I went in Paradigm Mall – Ochado Signature bubble tea cafe. I believe many of you have heard about Ochado. =D

Last time, I was a Taiwanese bubble fan, but now, I don’t really drink a lot because it’s fattening, but then I still drink occasionally. There’s many bubble tea outlet in Paradigm Mall, like Each A Cup, Chatime, Meet Fresh, and more I think. But then this Ochado Signature is the most appealing to me with a nice, simple and clean cafe design, which is a good place to chit chat with friends.

I visited the cafe on the first day went to Paradigm Mall with Arron and Carmen, we wanted a place to sit down and talk and found this. I am not really familiar with Ochado’s beverage, I am more to Chatime and Gongcha. After looking at the menu, I ordered myself a Ochado Pop Egg Milk Tea.

Pop Egg is a pearl replacement in the milk tea and it pops once it’s in your mouth, kinda like caviar, but cheap version. It pops out a sweet taste. Well, it’s fun popping in your mouth but then I prefer bubble pearl which allows me to chew. Pop egg is too fast and has no sensation in the mouth. By the way, it costs RM5.90 for the regular cup of Pop Egg Milk Tea.

Dinner At Sushi Zanmai, Paradigm Mall

Dinner At Sushi Zanmai, Paradigm Mall – It was 9pm on a Saturday night and the whole Paradigm Mall at Kelana Jaya was so crowded with people! I picked a wrong place for dinner already. I jammed in the car park, then I jammed inside the mall. It’s human everywhere! Every eatery outlet, restaurants, cafe have a queue outside their outlet.

I went to Sushi Zaimai at the top floor and found a long queue outside the Japanese restaurant too! No doubt about the queue because they always have queue outside their outlet all the time, except the one at Sunway Pyramid. It’s 9.30pm and so lucky that Hueisean and I were the last person who get to eat as we were the last order. I wonder why so early as it’s still 9,30pm only, guess they wanted to close shop earlier? Haha.

US! =D Hueisean dear and me.

The waitress took our order, queued for another half an hour, then we were sited in a big table. Our orders came fast. It’s a very simple dinner. We ordered a Spicy Ramen, a Chicken Karaage Don and a Dai Dai Roll.

Spicy Ramen (RM10.80) is a soup ramen with vegetable, mushroom and ramen. The soup is salty, a little bit spicy and I’ll say good, but then there’s not much ingredient in this bowl of ramen. There should have char siew or tamago. Hahaha.

Next is the Chicken Karaage Don (RM8.80) which is rice, fried chicken with sweet sauce and onion. The chicken is crispy fried in Japanese style, but I found that this dish is too dry and not nice eating it. I prefer Chicken Katsudon more with a bit gravy and egg.

Last one, a dozen of Dai Dai Roll (RM12.80). The name of this roll is really very funny, Dai Dai, die die? It’s sushi roll with slices of salmon on top, crab meat and avocado. It’s nice, but then the salmon is too thin already, it should have been a thicker cut. But since the price is OK, then it’s OK.
