The place I am living right now is so close to Puchong but then I don’t always go there to eat in fact, I don’t because I am selfish and I don’t want to pay for the toll RM1.60 for the LDP highway. Haha. It’s so close if to and fro will be RM3.20 already. Last Thursday, I accidentally went to a wrong way and end up passing the toll after school. I don’t want to waste my toll paid although it’s just little so I went to have lunch at Puchong. Haha.
My friend, Zhi Sheng who is a local here introduced me to this Fatt Kee Mixed Rice cafe, somewhere just right opposite Tesco Puchong. Last time, this kind of mixed rice, people call it economy rice because it was cheap, later then they changed the name from economy rice to mixed rice because it’s not cheap now. I look at the number of dish and surprise to see that there’s more than 20 dishes and it’s pretty interesting.
I took bitterguard, pork, petai and another kind of pork and salted vegetable and guess how much it cost? RM5. It’s confirm cheaper than here in my campus which would probably be RM6-7 already.

Pan Mee is always a soup based to me when I was in Penang. Later then I got approached with dry pan mee, which basically pan mee with soy sauce. Stalls in Penang has “Sarawak” in front of the name “pan mee”, I asked my Sarawakian friend about pan mee at there but he told me he doesn’t really know about pan mee being famous in Sarawak. Until now, I don’t know where is the really originality of pan mee. Last week, a blogger friend, Yong Xiang brought me to Taipan, USJ there to try out a famous Chilli Pan Mee.
Basically, Chilli Pan Mee is actually dry pan mee later then add in the dry chilli paste, stir your noodle and it will become Chilli Pan Mee. I was curious and I am a spicy eater so I ordered a bowl to eat.
It comes with a soup in case your noodle is too dry, you can add some soup to wet your noodle.
Normal Pan Mee with dry ikan bilis and minced meat and an egg. Simple as that, but when the homemade spicy chilli paste is added, it tasted all different. And what I wanted to say is, it’s really very very spicy! It’s different from bitting the little cut chilli, or chilli sauce. The Chinese called it 麻辣 (mandarin: ma1 la4) which numb your taste bud and give you a spicy feel. It’s not instant and it’s the most spiciest feel ever. I saw Yong Xiang added 3 scoop of the chilli paste and I added 2 scoop and it’s really very spicy. I wonder how he could eat it.
For newbie, I recommend you to start with half a scoop to feel the taste first. If it’s not enough only add more. If you have a bad stomach, you better don’t eat it. You will feel it when you go to toilet the next day.
We also ordered a bowl of 水饺 (mandarin: shui2 jiao3) Chinese Water Dumplings. This is good, something which balance the taste buds from spiciness. What’s so good is the soup of course, but the best is the dumpling which is big and filled with many ingredient in it. I like this.
Overall, this place is pretty cool, but next time for sure I will not add in so many chilli paste already, it’s crazy.

Victor and Yong Xiang.
I checked around and this restaurant is not only available in Taipan, USJ but several places. So you can check it out if you have never been to before and want to try some spiciness.

The famous Koay Teow Th’ng originally from Pitt Street is now at Carnavon Street. Actually it had been quite some times already but I am sharing with unknowns and this Koay Teow Th’ng place is where I often go there for brunch. Dad loves it here, so do I and mom.
Do you know Carnavon Street has various calling in local Penang Hokkien dialect? Some called it lam chan na (I have no idea what’s that means), some called kua cha keh 棺材街 (Coffin Street because there’s shops selling casket/coffin at there last time).
The koay teow th’ng shop is very easy to find because they have a big signboard outside with a big photo of the koay teow th’ng. So no worry of being lost.
The aunty there is the one who operate the stall and cook the koay teow th’ng. She’s a very friendly person.
I like the fish ball, it’s nice. There’s duck meat and also pork. The big slices of meat are pork, chopped. Kinda special and they koay teow submerged under the soup. Very nice.
Besides just ordering koay teow, we ordered only just the meat in the soup as extra one and eat for fun. Yummy. Koay teow although is similar to Ipoh’s Hor Fun, but the feeling and texture is definitely different. Personally like koay teow more.

While I was in KL, my uncle brought me to Klang for Bak Kut Teh breakfast. I always heard that there has a lot of good bak kut teh, but it was just hearing from people mouth and never been there to try before. Finally the chance is here, my uncle lives in KL so he knows the way around. He brought me there for breakfast, the place has like over 20 shops selling Bak Kut Teh and if you are not people around there, you would not know which one to go in.
Alright, the restaurant name is Mo Sang Kor, it’s not a very good looking one, it’s very simple but the food look good.
It’s all pork. Pork leg, the big bone part and also the meat part. When it was served, I felt surprise to see that the Bak Kut Teh was very different with what I had in Penang. The pork meat is big, there’s only mushroom, garlic and pork, unlike here, we got other ingredient like tao pok, fu zhok and more. Another thing is that the soup is not waterish like us, it’s more creamy and it’s very nice to eat with rice. I ate a lot that morning and I will visit this place again. Great.

Two weeks ago, I was in Kuala Lumpur and everytime I go to Kuala Lumpur with parents, they sure visit a Chinese restaurant in the mall and that is Esquire Kitchen. It’s a very standard thing for us and every of our visit, we order the same food. Haha. It was the outlet in Sunway Pyramid and my first visit to this outlet because it had been a long long long time I didn’t go to Sunway Pyramid after its renovation.
Fried longbeans.
Brinjal/Eggplant. This is special a bit because they cut it small.
花卷 (chinese: hua1 juan3). Steam Scallion Bun, nice to eat with curry or the tung po yok below.
东坡肉 (chinese: tong1 po1 rou4; cantonese: tung po yok). My favourite pork dish and it’s good to eat with the bun. Delicious, very.
Yummy! Unfortunately, they’re only in Kuala Lumpur and Penang don’t have Esquire Kitchen. Hopefully then will open an outlet here in Penang.
Here comes Ipoh food again. I was in Ipoh for fun 2 weeks ago and got to thanks Jee An and Voon Bin for their hospitality and accommodations. They brought us around for food and fun. One of the famous Ipoh food I had was the Shredded Chicken Hor Fun or known as Kai Si Hor Fun in Cantonese.
This famous shredded chicken hor fun stall located in Ipoh’s old town on Jalan Bandar Timah, more likely known as Leech Street to the local, in an old cafe named Thean Chun.
Ipoh’s Hor Fun are more likely the same as our Penang’s Koay Teow except that it’s more smooth and softer when put in mouth. They look the same, but the textual isn’t. Hor Fun to Penangite are something thicker than Koay Teow.
As for the Shredded Chicken Hor Fun, it’s just almost like our Penang’s Koay Teow Th’ng, except it’s a little spicy and there’s shrimp in it. You can find almost similar one on Buckingham Street near to the market there where you order a bowl of clear soup koay teow (清汤粿条) at the curry noodle stall in front of the market.
Talking back about the Shredded Chicken Hor Fun, it looks nice but somehow to me, I still prefer koay teow in it instead of hor fun, everything was good except the choice of noodle. Maybe I am a Penang person and love koay teow more than their hor fun. Anyway, if you go to Ipoh, this is a must try.

I took the Aeroline bus from Penang down to Kuala Lumpur, the bus is not like typical intercity express bus, but it’s something more luxurious with food and drinks served just like in an airplane, except there’s 4 wheels. LOL.
They have different menu for different time, I heard there’s nasi lemak, fried bee hoon, chicken rice and also Subway sandwich. As for my time, I took the morning bus at 1030am, they served me Chicken Rice. It’s warm and surprisingly the chicken was not bad, except for the rice, doesn’t taste like chicken rice to me. The gravy was nice when eating with the rice and chicken.
Food on-the-bus was not bad. Haha
Didn’t feel like eating rice and wanted to eat some hawker food so I went to Pulau Tikus Market hawker stalls to scope for some hawker food. Same again, 6 weeks I never go to hawker stall already but my parents did buy me hawker food during Sunday visit for National Service (PLKN).
At first I was thinking to eat Wan Tan Mee, but somehow this big Hokkien Mee signboard on the stall caught my attention and I was thinking “Hmm. When does a Hokkien Mee stall appear here?” Because there wasn’t a Hokkien Mee stall there and it was far far away at the end of the market. Could this be a new one?
I can’t resist myself to order a bowl to try it. I ordered instant noodle typed, there’s egg, little bit of vegetable, a little bit of meat and very tiny prawn. My verdict is, not good enough. Somehow, I still like the one at Lebuh Presgrave. I’ll show you guys next time. =)

People usually buy these so-called economy char bee hoon in the morning, mostly at the market, it’s as cheap as RM1 or perhaps lesser. Recently, dad found a place where sell it at night. It’s at the junction of Lebuh Tye Sin (四条路 a.k.a. 4th Road) and Jalan C.Y. Choy. Actually it’s there for quite a long time already and we just found it out.
There’s only a few table at there, we waited a while for seat at there on the night, a few days ago. It was our supper.
Very small plate, it’s hot and it’s nice! =)
The little stall also have red bean soup as dessert. I don’t know how to taste it out whether it’s good or not, they’re like the same to me, sweet.
