  • Klang Valley: 鸟人 Bird Man Cafe & Restaurant

    Klang Valley: 鸟人 Bird Man Cafe & Restaurant

     
    Klang Valley: 鸟人 Bird Man Cafe & Restaurant – What a funny name for a restaurant – Bird Man! The person who started the restaurant is really very ‘bird’. So jiao. During high school, I always call those playful and talk cock people as bird man. Haha. Anyway, I have 7+ months left to reside in this big city of Kuala Lumpur, so I have to explore as much as I can including Bird Man.
    Me, Jason and Henry.
    Siyi, Hooi Peng, Quenna, Connie, me, Jason & Henry.
    So, after work, I went to meet up my friends who are interns at another company for dinner at Kota Damansara and they brought me to this Bird Man. At first, I was like ‘What?! Jiao Lang? Bird Man?????’, then I saw it, it’s really a restaurant with a lame name. The owner must be a very bird bird man.
    Grilled Black Pepper Chicken Chiop.
    Shabu-shabu Beef Rice.
    Unagi Rice.
    Ramen with full boiled egg instead of half boiled tamago egg. Hmmmmm….
    My Portugese Cheese Baked Chicken Rice. =(
    Toast with Ice Cream, the only thing that looks good.
    It seems to be tempting with the tagline of ‘contemporary international dining’. The menu does indeed looks interesting ranging from Western to Asian Oriental food and it made me confuse of what to order. From the recommendation of the bird staff, I ordered my self a Portugese Cheese Baked Chicken Rice (RM12.90). Hmm, hmm, hmm, not that nice as I expected. Perhaps it’s not a good cheese and the chicken was just fried chicken. Bad choice for me. I asked my friends how their food taste like and all of them gave me a very neutral answer of OKOK-only.
    So, this Bird Man place is place that I will go for once only. Enjoyed the gather, not bird food. Blahhh. Time to sleep and thinking of where to eat in this coming days. =D Perhaps you can intro some nice food at Kota Damansara to me too?

  • Klang Valley: Seng Kee Famous Claypot Lao Shu Fen, Petaling Street

    Klang Valley: Seng Kee Famous Claypot Lao Shu Fen, Petaling Street

    Klang Valley: Seng Kee Famous Claypot Lao Shu Fen, Petaling Street – I always thought that Petaling Street is a tourist area that don’t really has good food and they are mostly target for tourists which price are high and food at a normal level. But then I am wrong, turned out that Petaling Street has a good food!

    Blogger me.
    One of which is the Seng Kee Restaurant (胜记) which is famous for Claypot Lao Shu Fen (沙煲老鼠粉) and Roasted Pork Noodle (Siu Yok Mee 烧肉面). So on last Sunday night, I went to try it out to see how good it is. I ordered one Claypot Lou Shu Fen (RM8 – small), and a plate Siu Yok Mee (RM10 – small). Price wise is OKOK, not very high but the portion is a bit small for 3 person  Haha.
    Siu Yok Mee.
    Claypot Lao Shu Fen.
    Taste wise? The Siu Yok Mee is really good which sweet crispy roasted pork and the noodle used is the same as Wan Tan Mee (生面) with some soy sauce and garlic. I like it. On the other hand, Claypot Lao Shu Fen turned up good too with plentiful of minced meat, but yet I prefer Murni’s Claypot Lao Shu Fen.
    Nevertheless, this is a place that I will come back again. It’s a must eat at Chinatown Petaling Street of Kuala Lumpur. =)

  • Klang Valley: My Burger Lab

    Klang Valley: My Burger Lab

     
    Klang Valley: My Burger Lab – It’s time to get burger-ism with My Burger Lab @ Seapark, PJ after trying out some nice roadside burger. This name has becoming a trend lately that more and more people are talking about it. It’s a burger cafe in Seapark where it gets very crowded as early as 6pm. Crazily, some blog wrote the queue started as early as 4.30pm and the queue will never get short until late night.
    Nevertheless, I didn’t went early to be first to buy a burger, I was there at about 7.20pm and what I saw was a real long queue from inside to the outside. O.O It took me and Beng Tian about 20 minutes to get the front of the queue. Friendly staff was standing by the queue to give recommendation of their burger. Inside was overly crowded and the whole atmosphere was very happenings with mostly youngster. I checked Foursquare for tips, and many written that it’s over-rated, not worth the queue and OKOK-only lah.
    Well, I ordered their signature burger A+ Set (with fries and bottomless soft drinks) @ RM15 + RM6 while my friend ordered a Curry Crunch Set too @ RM15.50 + RM6. The 6 dollar is the additional charge for set.
    So we waited for a seat, sit down and wait for our name to be called. “212, Mr Nicholas, your burger is ready!”. It’s time to burger! Blacky gray charcoal bun looks added a uniqueness to the burger with deep fried fries perfecting the meal. A+ burger is filled with sharp cheddar, caramelised onion (woah!), shiitake & enoki mushrooms. The beef patty is succulent thick and a little bit of self add on mustard make it even awesome for me. Fries on the hand is nicely fried with garlic clove which is interesting.
    The overall experience was good, it’s burgerlicious, price wise is on the high side and if there’s not a long queue, it would just be even better. Come back again? Yeah, when I am ready to queue again.

  • Klang Valley: Burger Hub, Kelana Jaya (In Front Of Sterling Condominium)

    Klang Valley: Burger Hub, Kelana Jaya (In Front Of Sterling Condominium)

    Klang Valley: Burger Hub, Kelana Jaya (In Front Of Sterling Condominium) – Can say this is my prelude post to My Burger Lab. Haha, Anyway, I found out this little roadside burger stall from my friend Beng Tian and it’s located right in front of Sterling Condominium at Kelana Jaya. ‘Cheh, it’s just another Ramly Burger stall’, you are wrong if you think like that.
    It’s totally different, at least it has a better designed logo and price a bit different. So what’s special is the patty is very thick and it’s filled with melting sinful cheese! Instead of layering one by one like cheese and egg wrap with Ramly patty, the patty it self is filled with cheese and it’s definitely not Ramly’s, some other brand or perhaps homemade. RM5 for a Hub Burger, it’s not that bad for a supper.

  • Evening At Seapark With Flying Wan Tan Mee

    Evening At Seapark With Flying Wan Tan Mee

    Evening At Seapark With Flying Wan Tan Mee – Suddenly have the urge to take photos, it’s time for my ultimate Canon EOS 60D with Sigma 30mm f1.4 to go out for a trip. Saturday night was not just staying at home, online and TV for me; I went out to Seapark to find My Burger Lab for some burger-licious dinner with my friend Beng Tian.
    Accidentally, on the way to My Burger Lab, I found this very cool stall of Wan Tan Mee by the roadside, the Wan Tan Mee guy tossed the noodle so high in the air as the final move of cooking the noodle. I believe it’s to cool the noodle down a bit after cooking. After Googling around, the local call it the Flying Wan Tan Mee. Interesting, interesting and I want to try next time!
    My friend was the one who actually found out the flying Wan Tan Mee at there. I didn’t really notice it at first, then we waited about 10 minutes until people made an order, only then the guy did the stun. Haha. Good thing is, I’ve got the shot!
    Oh god, hungry now! Have you seen Flying Wan Tan Mee before?
  • Klang Valley: Square Dotz Cafe @ SS2

    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.

  • Penang: 宰牛后粿条汤 Nice Koay Teow Thng Dinner @ Beach Street

    Penang: 宰牛后粿条汤 Nice Koay Teow Thng Dinner @ Beach Street

    Penang: 宰牛后粿条汤 Nice Koay Teow Thng Dinner @ Beach Street – The Koay Teow Th’ng stall is actually at the intersection of Lebuh Melayu and Beach Street (Lebuh Pantai), located right in front of the very old MCA shophouse. Well, it’s my dinner for my Sunday night and I’ve got to say, it’d been a long time I didn’t eat Koay Teow Th’ng already and this one really cheered my taste buds up.

    Finally, I found a good Koay Teow Th’ng stall in Penang with awesome fish balls and sweet soup with lots of lard, in addition a reasonable price too! The stall operates at night for dinner. We ordered 3 bowl of Koay Teow Soup and a small bowl of vegetable, the total costs us only RM15.

    The fish ball has the springy feeling that’s not like those factory made one and the person is very generous too, adding a lot of chicken meat as well as the garlic and lard into soup which makes the soup taste even tastier.

    Yums! I will come back again. Do you like/dare to eat pork lard? It’s very unhealthy and I dare. XD

  • Penang: Sip & Chew Cafe

    Penang: Sip & Chew Cafe

    Front facade, super simple.

    Penang: Sip & Chew Cafe – Sip & Chew Cafe is a very very new restaurant/cafe located on Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling, or English – Pitt Street. I went there on Christmas Day with Clarice. How I found out about this place is through Instagram where some random people I followed posted about it.

    Here’s me and Clarice.

    With much curiousity, I wandered around the street to find the place. It took me some times to find it and it’s actually located just next to the famous Kuan Yin Teng Temple. It was night time, and surprised to see the restaurant has only 4 tables inside and 2 outside. I assumed it’s a small scale cafe. Nevertheless, we went in and gave it a try despite the little customers.

    The staff was very friendly which worth a little mention. Sip & Chew serves western cuisine and their famous is the sandwiches, but we didn’t order cause I wanted something bigger portion to ease my hungriness.

    Potato salad as starter. Yums.
    Mushroom soup, which is pretty standard, taste like Pizza Hut’s. =D

    We ordered a set of Christmas Set dinner worth of RM24.90 and a Grilled Chicken With BBQ Sauce from the a la carte menu. From starter to main course were delightful, and there’s still room for improvement like the grilled fish with brown sauce was a little bit too salty. Other than that were pretty OK, and the very best part was the Flower Pot Desserts which Clarice and I like the most.

    Grilled Chicken with BBQ Sauce which I like.
    Grilled fish with brown sauce which is rather salty on my taste buds.
    HAPPY POTTED PLANT. Lo and behold, the mighty flower in a pot dessert! What is it? Flower it is, not edible, but the mud, the organics are edible!
    Cute! It’s Oreo grinned into powder that looks like sand and at the bottom, there’s ice cream, and a layer of cake. 

    The owner told us that the menu will be revised again, and I am looking forward for my next visit for the Flower Pot Desserts again, perhaps try some other food too, sandwich maybe?

    Heard that there’s a similar dessert at All Seasons Place, Farlim there, it’s cheese cake instead of ice cream, anyone know about it?

  • Penang: RM2.50 Hokkien Prawn Mee For Breakfast, Jalan Perak

    Penang: RM2.50 Hokkien Prawn Mee For Breakfast, Jalan Perak

    The Hokkien Prawn Mee stall.

    Penang: RM2.50 Hokkien Prawn Mee For Breakfast, Jalan Perak – Yes, you read it right, a bowl of Hokkien Prawn Mee in Penang is only RM2.50! (Selected place only, haha). Anyway, this was my breakfast few days back in Penang and it was at Jalan Perak, introduced to me by Yiphing.

    My favourite food in Penang.

    It’s not the best hokkien mee out there and one thing interesting about Penang food is that most of the local food, doesn’t matter famous or not, they are still OKOK-quite-good. For this kind of price, nothing much you can complain for a morning breakfast. By the way, there’s a very famous and better Hokkien Prawn Mee around that area too, but sold out quite early.

    Funny to see the technology MP (Member of Parliament) Jeff Ooi at the back of t-shirt in the kopitiam.

    Update: Latest news is that it has increase price to RM2.70, don’t know true or not.
