  • Klang Valley: Famous Seng Huat Klang Bak Kut Teh

    Klang Valley: Famous Seng Huat Klang Bak Kut Teh

    Klang Valley: Famous Seng Huat Klang Bak Kut Teh – Yes, Klang is very famous for Bak Kut Teh! But there’s too many bak kut teh out there at Klang and it’s pretty hard for us to decide where to go for after our cycling at Bukit Cahaya. Some people says that when it’s too famous, the quality turns bad, but we just didn’t care, we went to the one that is most discussed on the internet, the most results on Google search result and it’s this Seng Huat Bak Kut Teh, also known as the Bak Kut Teh below the flyover bridge in Klang.
    We were so hungry after 3 hours ride of bicycle at Bukit Cahaya and it took about 20 minutes from Shah Alam to reach there. Thanks to GPS, we actually missed the junction and took us another 10 minutes to turn back in. Aduhainya.
    Combined two tables for 10 of us, didn’t really know how to order, so it’s the Seng Huat people who made the decision for us, a mixture of different pork meat, with vegetable and toufu pok. That’s our lunch!
    The taste is pretty nice, definitely better than I had in Penang but somehow there’s one at Aman Suria – Shun Heng Bak Kut Teh seems to have a stronger taste. Afterall, it was a good one!
    One more thing, it’s only RM11 per person, cheap!

  • Klang Valley: Dai Chao At Ping Wah Restaurant, Taman Paramount

    Klang Valley: Dai Chao At Ping Wah Restaurant, Taman Paramount

    Klang Valley: Dai Chao At Ping Wah Restaurant, Taman Paramount – The KL call it Dai Chao (大炒) and the Penang call it Zhu Char (煮炒) and few weeks back, I went to this dai chao located at Taman Paramount introduced by Beng Tian. Looking at the name, it reminds me of Penang because Ping Wah is actually the Penang Chinese Girls High School in Penang or there’s one lok-lok stall call Ping Hua too. Haha.
    This dai chao actually sells Hainanese-style dishes. I don’t really know much about it, it’s just a simple dinner with 3 dishes for me and Beng Tian. There’s a Kailan fried with salted fish, omelette with preserved turnip (chai poh egg) and the very special pork fried with potato. The dinner was good especiall the pork with potato because it’s something different that I’ve never tried before, Kailan was as usual pretty standard and the omelete was pretty nice too!
    2 person, 3 dishes, 2 herbal teas, RM27. What do you think?

  • Breakfast At Kampung Broga

    Breakfast At Kampung Broga

    Breakfast At Kampung Broga – After the awesome, healthy and fun hike at Broga Hill, the stomach gets very hungry because I did not eat anything before the hike. Luckily there’s a small Chinese village nearby – Kampung Broga where you can find a hearty breakfast at one of the kopitiam there. It’s just 5 minutes drive, and the village is very very small. Well, you can say you reaches Negeri Sembilan at here, because the little village cut through the border of Selangor state and Negeri Sembilan state. No matter which state it is, food and refreshing drinks were more important at that time!
    Introduced by a friend Zee Yin that she read on blogs that this little kopitiam serve good Cham Peng (mix of Kopi & Tea with ice) and so it’s our place for breakfast. Surprised that there’s no one in this little coffee shop and we shouted ‘Hello, anyone here?’ for several time, yet no one were there. Only after 10 minutes, someone walked toward us from the next door. It’s the owner, chilling at some other place as I guess they expect no people. Haha. Well, indeed true that throughout the morning, it’s only us! There’s one group of people walked in, but walked out just after that; very zho siao (playful) of them.
    Very cute and unsual cut for Cham Peng. Very homy.
    Well, you actually can find a variety of food in this little kopitiam that you see no food stalls. They serve steam bread, half boiled egg, wan tan mee, chicken feet mushroom mee, fried rice and more! Food actually served from the shop next door, but they shops are so friend that they serve here and there. Wan Tan Mee was my breakfast, noodle was springy, char siu was sweet, but wan tan were no where to be good. For only RM3.50, that’s where the taste goes to at this little town that not many people aware of. After all, the Cham Peng complimented my breakfast after a tiring and exciting hike.
    Place for breakfast after hiking? This is it. Friendly owner, simple local food, and nice Cham Peng.

  • Klang Valley: Grafa Cafe, A Hipsy Bicycle Cafe

    Klang Valley: Grafa Cafe, A Hipsy Bicycle Cafe

    Klang Valley: Grafa Cafe, A Hipsy Bicycle Cafe – Recently just found out a cool artsy & hipsy cafe at Subang Jaya and it’s called the Grafa Cafe. Located in the heart of SS15, the cafe welcomes you with a artsy futsy retail store in front where you can find arts stuff, t-shirts, bike gear and more. Afterall, it’s a cafe with a bicycle themed.

    Selling food from local style seafood nasi goreng (fried rice) to pasta, Coney Hotdog and sandwiches, this is a cafe of fusion food between the east and the west. The cafe itself is simple and nice, with wide varieties of food and I must mention this – the food portion is huge for pasta and nasi goreng!
    Coney Dog.
    Spaghetti Carbonara with Meatballs.
    Nasi Goreng Sotong.
    Taste wise? Well, it’s not really reach my liking for the Meatball Spaghetti Carbonara (RM20). Thea carbonara cream sauce is good, but not the meatball. On the other hand, the Coney Dog was nice with lots of minced meat topping on the hotdog.
    Gary, Jason, Henry, Hwa Jie, Quenna, & Connie. =D
    It seems to be a nice place to hangout, with big food portions, but kinda pricey and I am not going to order the Spaghetti Carbonara again. Haha. Would I come again? This is like some place that I would only go once, unless friends invited me there for a meal, maybe?

  • Lai Quen & Si Yi’s Birthday @ Tokyo Kitchen

    Lai Quen & Si Yi’s Birthday @ Tokyo Kitchen

     
    Lai Quen & Si Yi’s Birthday @ Tokyo Kitchen – I getting to like work day because I seems to have more gathering during work time than during uni time where uni time is all filled with assignments. HAHA. Somehow, I still prefer study than work lah. XD So, yesterday after work I went to Kota Damansara again, this time to try out another restaurant – Tokyo Kitchen.
    The interior design, pretty interesting. Sad didn’t get to sit in.
    The Yee Sang! Doesn’t taste food, but the salmon was very thick cut!!!!! Thumbs up for the salmon.
    All interior designers here! Hou geng ah.
    Lou lou lou.
    He is Jason. =D
    He is Henry.
    Buddy, Arvin!
    Well, it’s a gathering, it’s a Pre-Chinese New Year dinner celebration, it’s a new restaurant exploration and main thing, birthday celebration for Lai Quen & Si Yi. =) It might seems to be a normal dinner for 2 birthday girls, but it turned up with birthday songs and birthday cake, filled with laughter, sweet smiles and happiness.
    Oh yummeh fruit cake!
    Sweet ladies – Connie, Quenna, Si Yi, Hooi Pheng.
    Birthday girls! Qunna & Siyi.
    How about the food? Tokyo Kitchen is a nice restaurant located in Sunway Giza with very homey interior decoration, unfortunately we didn’t get to sit inside as it was full. Price of food starts from RM15 and above and overall presentation looks good. I ordered myself a set of Chicken Teriyaki & Udon Set for RM26.90+. It does seems good with such price as you get a rice and noodle, but then taste wise I felt it’s not as good as Miraku or Edo Ichi, nor Sushi Zanmai.
    Salmon Sashimi Set.
    Ooops, forgotten to ask about the name.
    My friend ordered Salmon Sashimi Set, which however looks good with very thick cut of salmon. Overall, food taste is not that awesome, it has good decoration and personally still prefer Zanmai for price, or the best Edo Ichi for taste. =D Frankly, it did not capture my heart for good Japanese restaurant, maybe it’s good to you?
    Flower girls. Playing around with the props at the restaurant.
    … … … … No comment.
    Henry Gor!
    Funny that the restaurant waitress wants to take a photo of us too, guess they want to use it to advertise or something.
    Anyway, it’s good night out with them after a long day of work at the office and feeling of having friends at a place I do not call home is nice.
    Thumbs up for happy birthday Quenna. =)
    Thumbs up for happy birthday Siyi.
    Happy birthday to Quenna & Si Yi. 恭喜发财！生日快乐！=) 
    Hohoho, suddenly I felt so young because I am not even 21 yet. Haha. Time to plan for the next exploration, 7 months left for me to be in here, so I’m gonna explore everywhere as much I can. =D Any good place to eat, see or play in Klang Valley or around?

  • Klang Valley: Flying Wan Tan Mee, Seapark

    Klang Valley: Flying Wan Tan Mee, Seapark

    Klang Valley: Flying Wan Tan Mee, Seapark – Last time, I went to eat myBurger Lab, passed by and saw the Wan Tan Mee guy doing stun with the noodle, tossing up high in the air to collect dust, and just recently, I went to try it out! Haha.
    It’s pretty interesting that playing with the wan tan mee, as if I am not wrong, tossing it up in the air will cool the noodle for better texture in the mouth and make it more springy. I don’t know true or not, but of course it will sure collect a lot of dust in the air. I feel that it’s more like doing a show than the purpose.
    But anyway, I went there for dinner, ordered a plate of Wan Tan Mee dry with Char Siew and Wan Tan and it costs RM6. Well, I’ve to say that the noodle is quite good in the mouth, not to soft and just nice to my preference. Seems like the tossing works. The Char Siew on the other hand is nice and sweet but lack of a bit of BBQ taste, unlike the killer Char Siew at Meng Kee, Glenmerie. And the Wan Tan dumplings were very standard, nothing to complain about.
    My friend told me that it used to be even better, but so far I feel that  it’s a good plate of Wan Tan Mee, not costly and I will come back again for dinner next time. =)

  • Klang Valley: Burger Junkyard, Kota Damansara

    Klang Valley: Burger Junkyard, Kota Damansara

     
    Klang Valley: Burger Junkyard, Kota Damansara – Now it makes me wonder that is it burger craze lately? There’s the Kaw Kaw Burger Bakar, Abang Burn Burger, myBurger Lab, and in Penang, Marshall’s Burger which are getting a lot of noises lately and now, another one at Kota Damansara – Burger Junkyard.
    A trend or what? It’s not McDonald’s, or Burger King anymore, nor roadside Ramly burger, it’s about innovation, thick patties, varieties, sauce, fries, queue and interior design.
    Talking to Burger Junkyard, it’s located at The Strand, Kota Damansara and it was my dinner yesterday night with the same group of friends who are working intern for interior design firm at there. It’s getting more meet-ups right now during work time than during school times. Fun! Because after a long day of work, a little chat and get-together and laughter with familiar faces is good.
    Oh dirty rat with number for the burger delivery to your table.
    The Burger Junkyard has a very simple interior design with graffiti art on the wall resembling junkyard. Looking across the menu, obviously it has lesser choices compare to myBurger Lab. There’s no long queue like myBurger Lab and don’t have a person standing there recommending good burger. I asked for recommendation and ordered the Brooklyn Burger (RM15.90) which comes with burger itself and fries. There’s no additional top up for set meal and not much choices for drinks.
    Price is cheaper than myBurger Lab but how about taste? French fries is not as good as myBurger Lab as there’s no killer fried garlic. The patties was thick enough but somehow it’s not as strong and good as myBurger Lab. In my 2 cents, I still prefer myBurger Lab for the taste, the atmosphere and the price. Haha. What do you think? Some say good, some say so-so, I’d say OKOK only.
     
    Side order French Fries. Not really killer fries. HAHA.
    Pineapple Fungi (vegetarian) (RM13.90) – Pineapple, portebello mushroom, onions, homemade aioli.
    Hoola Hoop Hawii (RM14.90) – Lettuce, tomatoes, smoked turkey ham, grilled pineapple, tangy cocktail, dressing.
    Brooklyn Burger (RM15.90) – Choice of chicken, or beef (I picked beef), beef bacon, grilled pineapple, tomato, onions, fried egg, aioli.
    Arvin, me, Quenna, Hooi Pheng, Connie, Henry. Right side looks sad, left side looks happy. HAHA.

  • Klang Valley: 麺屋武蔵 Awesome Menya Musashi Ramen @ Isetan, 1 Utama

    Klang Valley: 麺屋武蔵 Awesome Menya Musashi Ramen @ Isetan, 1 Utama


    Klang Valley: 麺屋武蔵 Awesome Menya Musashi Ramen @ Isetan, 1 Utama – Recently, I am getting in love with ramen, this feeling started ever since my brother brought me to Marutama and Ippudu ramen in Singapore. Now, those ramen restaurants are now available in Malaysia and I found some other good one too, just like this Menya Musashi ramen which origins from Japan!

    Menya Musashi is located in Eat Paradise of Isetan in 1 Utama shopping mall. It’s very easy to find, beside it is just another ramen restaurant (Gantetsu) which some said its nice too! The restaurant does not has very fancy design, it’s a very small restaurant with lots of samurai poster. The name of the restaurant comes from the legendary Edo-era swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi. That’s explain the samurai illustration around this little restaurant.
    Hello Clarice! =)
    It’s a very happy and cheerful atmosphere at there because the staff, the chefs all are shouting at each other, actually greeting you in Japanese. You actually start out at the entrance where you take a look at the menu, then you order, make payment only then seated.
    It’s very easy to order, firstly you choose the type of soup you want, then type of ramen and ingredient and voila, you are done. Other wise, you can pick some side dishes like Gyoza or there’s a nice Chashu Gohan, rice with chashu pork! Yummeh.

    So what I ordered was a bowl of Kuro Ajitama Ramen and a Chashu Gohan. Sky juice was free in the restaurant. Talking about the Kuro Ajitama Ramen, Kuro is the broth which made from special garlic oil and fried shallow and it’s brownish black! To be surprised, the soup tasted very very good, and I even perfected it with some extra fried garlic and their special chili oil. The ramen was springy and the tamago egg was just nicely half-boiled. 2 big pieces of Chashu pork with some bamboo shoots cheered up my dinner for that night.

    Another dish was the Chashu Gohan, a rice filled with sweet chashu pork and lots of welsh onion. This is nice too and it costs only RM9. I added some fried garlic into the rice to add a bit of crunchy-ness to compliment to the chashu and welsh onion.

    Everything was so good, the people, the friendly chefs who always greeting loudly, and shouted like a samurai when making noodles, the ramen, the rice were just great. However, price wise was a bit high as the ramen was RM29. Overall, this is good, and I finished up the soup. Yummeh.
