  • I Love Ikea’s Cheap Hot Dog Meal

    I Love Ikea’s Cheap Hot Dog Meal

    P1050356

    Funny or not that I just know that Ikea Malaysia has such a low price meal which I super like and love! Unlike the RM10 for 10 meatballs in the canteen inside Ikea, this is Ikea cafe right outside the cashier counter, a place to chill and have some light meal before going home or proceed.

    • RM2 for a curry puff and a bottomless soft drinks.
    • RM3 for a hot dog bread and a bottomless soft drinks.

    Where on earth you can find this combo besides Ikea? Even kopitiam is charging RM2 for a can of soft drinks and bakery is charging for RM2 for a curry puff. Ikea rocks man!

    After a little shopping at Ikea this afternoon, I bought a combo of curry puff and softdrinks for RM2. I was too hungry and then I add on a hot dog bread and another curry puff. With the bottomless softdrinks, I was full. =)

    It’s just yum yum, deliciously low price. Claps for Ikea.

  • Famous Curry Mee at Lorong Seratus Tahun

    Famous Curry Mee at Lorong Seratus Tahun

    In Penang, there’s a very famous curry mee at Lorong Seratus Tahun, the road name literally means 100 years lane and I have no idea why is it named so. Most Penangite who love to eat sure knows about this place and the curry mee. Located in an old kopitiam on the corner, the kopitiam has a vintage feel as the owner love Chinese oldies.

    The spiciness depends on how much curry paste you put in. Nothing much to review, I have to say, it’s good and nice.

  • Monday SS2 Pasar Malam With Arron Lim

    Monday SS2 Pasar Malam With Arron Lim

    I would like to make this short and sweet because I am super firing right now as I wrote the whole post already but the blogging service didn’t save my stuff and I have to rewrite again. Since I still have many stuff to update, I’ll let the photo speaks can they? =)

    I am a pasar malam a.k.a. night market fans, as you know. I visit lots of pasar malam and this pasar malam at SS2, Petaling Jaya is the first pasar malam I visited after I come to KL for studies. KL and PJ are different place at there but to not confuse my reader who are from their lovely place, KL will become the general word of the place I am at.

    On a lovely Monday, I went to the night market with my good high school buddy, Arron, who is from Penang also. We went there for dinner, walk walk and also to look for the famous Penang Asam Laksa. Yeah.

    Driving from Bandar Sunway to SS2 takes like about 15 minutes provided smooth traffic at Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong. But then looking for a parking at there is haste as we rounded the area for 3 times only can find a parking space by the roadside. A reminder is that keep all valuable thing nicely because you know, there’s all sorts of people. =)

    I was surprised to see that there’s pirated DVD vendors at because I don’t normally see them at the night market back in my hometown. And you know I am not a fan of pirated DVD at night market, I prefer… haha, you know… hehe.

    Walk around at there and found many special street food like satay, chicken on a stick, mini burger, special taiwanese sausage, lots of bubble tea and more! I super like Taiwanese sausage and bubble tea, wondering when will I get the chance to go to taiwan to try the REAL thing.

    One thing want to say is walking at this SS2 pasar malam is a little bit discomfort because the stalls are too closed to each other and the walkway is too narrow as the crowds are huge at there.

    The best part of the night was finding the famous Penang Asam Laksa which makes me feel a bit at home at last. The taste is almost different but couldn’t say 100%, but it’s just almost. =) Any recommendation more for night market? Do check out Taman Connaught’s Night Market that I visited too!

  • Buffet Breakfast at PJ Hilton Hotel

    Buffet Breakfast at PJ Hilton Hotel

    I love buffet breakfast provided by hotel most of the time especially at a hotel with good reputation and stars like the Hilton Hotel at Petaling Jaya. A couple weeks ago, I was staying there for a night with my parents and we were given free buffet breakfast. Since it’s free, for sure I would wake up early to check it out. I heard that these buffet breakfast can cost up to RM50.

    With a variety of International cuisine ranging from Chinese, Western, Indian to local Malaysian food. They are good, but, I felt they were not the best hotel breakfast to me. I still like the one at Sensa Hotel, Bandung, Indonesia which have a better dining experience and food.

    Do you bother about the hotel breakfast or just oversleep for you trip? =)

  • Lunch at Sushi Zanmai, Sunway Pyramid

    Lunch at Sushi Zanmai, Sunway Pyramid

    I don’t really understand why there’s a long queue every time I passed by Sushi Zanmai outlet in KL like at The Gardens and 1Utama. It was a Tuesday and I went to the Sushi Zanmai at Sunway Pyramid for a lunch. This Sushi Zanmai is just another Japanese restaurant with sushi belt like Sakae Sushi and Sushi King but then it’s not available in Penang. My friend told me that their food is low in price but to me it’s just almost the same except the salmon sushi is kinda cheap. =D

    After all those wondering and don’t-understands, I finally made myself there to know why. Actually there’s no why. LOL. It’s just felt better than Sushi King and cheaper than Sakae Sushi IMO.

    A plate of Salmon Sushi is priced at only RM3.90 of two but then I never see it on the belt and we have to order from the people there.

    A nice big slice of fresh raw salmon covered a rice ball. The freshness cannot be said as super fresh but it’s fresh in my mouth, I felt. Some Japanese restaurant served salmon with smaller size. This is good.

    My main dish was a I-ve-forgotten-the-name, Chicken Katsu something, it’s deep fried chicken with mayo sauce, a little bit of seaweed strips and Japanese rice. To be honest, it’s not really a good one as the chicken is kinda tasteless. I ate it with wasabi and soy sauce. This is only a small one, I wondered how big is it if I order a big one.

    Here’s another I-ve-forgotten-the-name sushi, I know it’s Unagi something something. Haha. It’s a nice unagi sushi and it’s a must-order if you are a unagi lover like me! =)

    Sushi Zanmai is available at:

    • Sunway Pyramid
    • 1 Utama
    • The Gardens
    • Low Yat Plaza
    • Fahrenheit 88
  • Kampar Claypot Chicken Rice in Penang Pulau Tikus

    Kampar Claypot Chicken Rice in Penang Pulau Tikus

    Kampar is a little town in Perak and it’s famous for UTAR (Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman) but I never know what food they are famous of. Haha. Recently, I went to a coffee house at Pulau Tikus, near to the market there and found out a Claypot Chicken Rice from Kampar. It’s featured on the Chinese newspaper according to mom and I ordered a set for 2 for lunch.

    It came in a big pot. A nice egg is placed on top of the rice and it’s cooked with the heat from the very hot claypot rice. We have to mix it with the rice before taking out to eat. Well, it’s not a bad one but with extra lap cheong (Chinese sausage) then I think it would be nice.

    Do go and check it out if you are a claypot chicken rice fan. =)

  • Nice 滑蛋河 Wat Tan Hor In Penang for Dinner

    Nice 滑蛋河 Wat Tan Hor In Penang for Dinner

    滑蛋河 also pronounced as Wat Tan Hor in Cantonese, mostly known to KL people and here in Penang they called it Char Hor Fun with waterish egg sauce. Some like hor fun in dry state, some like it wet a bit, some like it with extra egg and waterish. I like the one with extra egg and waterish and it’s yummy! I always eat this dish when I am in KL.

    P1030296

    Recently, I found a place that sells nice Wat Tan Hor in Penang and that is somewhere on Cintra Street, at the intersection of Kampung Malabar in town.

    P1030297

    P1030293

    Located on a corner unit of a row of shop houses on Cintra Street. They sell not only Wat Tan Hor but various fried hor fun and bee hoon.

    P1030295

    If to compare with what I had before in KL, KL still have a better one but this could be one of the best in Penang already. =) What do you think?

  • Sushi Zanmai and Crepe Cake for Nita’s Belated Birthday

    Sushi Zanmai and Crepe Cake for Nita’s Belated Birthday

    This week’s Tuesday is the end of final exam. Haha. Design course not really don’t have exam but for this sem, I have two papers to test and that’s Technical English and Building Materials. So it’s just two days of final exams. Finally it’s over but my juniors are doing their SPM, hopefully they are doing well right now.

    So on Tuersday, after exam. Nita, my Indonesian classmate invited us for Japanese food at Sushi Zanmai. Oh yeah, finally have a chance to visit the always long-queue Sushi Zanmai. I have no idea why I always see a long queue outside Sushi Zanmai. Why?

    It was actually a belated birthday celebration for Nita because on the actual date which was two weeks ago, we were busy with assignment so we didn’t celebrate and so it’s postponed. Still fun!

    Somehow, I take it as belated birthday celebration plus a little bit of farewell because this week could be my last week at here because I have 1.5 months holiday ahead! =) And also, 3 friends, Connie, Zhi Inn and Lai Quen are going to change to degree because Taylor’s just recently introduced the degree of BA Interior Architecture but then I couldn’t change because my qualification is only SPM.

    Not finish yet. After Sushi Zanmai, we decided to treat back Nita a birthday cake and we went to Kuchai Lama. I have no idea where Kuchai Lama is and GPS was my guide. Haha. I know it’s somewhere near Old Klang Rd if I am not mistaken.

    Go Kuchai Lama, Indulge Cafe just to eat a crepe cake. Haha. Happy 17 birthday Nita, belated!

  • Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt at Island Plaza

    Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt at Island Plaza

    More and more franchise is coming to Penang, just like recently the Burger King at Lebuh Sungai Pinang and now Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt which is very common here in Kuala Lumpur is now in Penang, opening its first outlet at Island Plaza.

    Although I am now residing in Kuala Lumpur, but I didn’t really bother to visit it only when I was back to Penang last week, I brought my girlfriend, Hueisean to Tutti Frutti at Island Plaza to try out the yogurt after our movie at the new W Cinemax.

    This is something pretty cool. It’s actually self-serviced cold yogurt of different flavours. You pick your favourite flavours, bit by bit, add in some topping like nuts, cereals, chocolate and candy then the price is according to the weight. Not cheap IMO. Mine was like RM12.30 with 3 yogurt, Apple, Strawberry and Vanilla.

    Perhaps this is more healthy, but somehow I prefer gelato ice cream more. =D
