  • Penang: Transfer Road Delicious Roti Canai

    Penang: Transfer Road Delicious Roti Canai



    Penang: Transfer Road Delicious Roti Canai – Yeah, you heard it right, Transfer Road in George Town has a nice Roti Canai stall that operates in the morning. It’s not new, but it’s quite new to me because it’s my first time went there recently with an Indonesian friend – Arvin. I was a tour guide for Arvin for 3 days last week and I brought him around to eat and check out. =D


    Let’s talk back about this Roti Canai, what’s so special is actually the gravy, the curry. You know Roti Canai is just a piece of Indian flatbread that eat with curry sauce normally called dalcha. But at this Transfer Road Roti Canai, you can order a choice of chicken curry, beef curry and mutton curry. Then you can choose it to be separated which is the roti and curry separated or choose it BANJIR (flood) which is the curry flooded on the bread.



    We ordered one chicken curry and one beef curry. Total got bomb, of RM10 include drinks. Perhaps it’s expensive for the curry as there’s big piece of chicken and beef. The curry were pretty spicy, yet it’s spicy level were to suit to over liking. Overall, it’s a nice roti canai place and I prefer the beef curry more. =D One more thing, you can add an extra sunny egg on top of your roti canai too upon special request.

  • Seremban: Empayar Seremban Siew Bao City 芙蓉烧包城

    Seremban: Empayar Seremban Siew Bao City 芙蓉烧包城



    Seremban: Empayar Seremban Siew Bao City 芙蓉烧包城 – Every time you drive passed Seremban toll, confirm you will notice a big building writing EMPAYAR SEREMBAN SIEW POW or in Chinese 芙蓉烧包城 which literally means Seremban Siew Bao CITY! You think it’s huge right?



    I went there while on the way back from Muar to buy a couple of Siew Bao to eat as I’ve never tried before. Moreover, Seremban is super famous for their Siew Bao. Siew Bao is barbecue-pork-filled crispy Chinese biscuit. Surprisingly, upon arriving here, the Siew Bao section is just a small part of the place and the place sells more than just Siew Bao. They have Chinese seafood, and some other local confectionery, it feels very weird to me.

    Anyway, bought Chicken Siew Bao and Pork Siew Bao from there and ate it on the spot since it’s still freshly baked and hot. They both tasted very yummy. It’s not so awesome when it’s cold so I recommend that if you can, eat it right away, either way, heat it when you got back home.

  • Muar: Thirst Quenching Pear Juice @ Jalan Yahya

    Muar: Thirst Quenching Pear Juice @ Jalan Yahya


    Muar: Thirst Quenching Pear Juice @ Jalan Yahya – I bet many of you haven’t heard of Pear Juice before. I knew about pear – the fruit, but then juicing it into a beverage, I’ve never heard it before nor try it. In Muar, there’s one stall that sells pear juice, located on Jalan Yahya right in front of a fruit stall. It’s recommended by one of my Muar friend that it’s a must-try in Muar.


    So I followed my GPS and went to look for it but FAILED to locate it for the first time, I didn’t want to give up and went to find again, and found it right front of a fruit stall. It’s a very very small stall, that why I missed it at first. At only RM1 per pack for take-away, it’s enough to quench the thirst of me and Clarice after exploring food at Tam Jiak Kheh for whole afternoon under the hot sun. Check it out!

  • Penang: Lolipot Shabu-Shabu On Christmas Eve

    Penang: Lolipot Shabu-Shabu On Christmas Eve

    Penang: Lolipot Shabu-Shabu On Christmas Eve – The next time, if you ever wanted to go Lolipot Shabu-shabu on Christmas Eve or any other occasion, please, please make a reservation first! I’ll include the telephone number at the end of the post. Hahahaahaha.

    Funny and interesting and cute name – Lolipot. =D
    Arron Lim, the India boy, because he is studying in India.
    Me and Alvin.

    Alvin suggested Lolipot for Christmas Eve’s dinner and we were there at 8.30pm and it’s really full, full of people. The staff told us that we don’t need to wait anymore even though there’s one unseated table beca.use it’s reserved. We insisted to wait, for the next half hour but no luck. Until we decided to walk away, to somewhere else, the staff ran out and inform us that one customer cancelled their reservation. Is us lucky or too persevere?

    Interiors of the restaurant.
    Milksoup.

    It’s my first time to Lolipot, a special name and it’s local style of shabu-shabu as each person gets their own pot and there’s 4 choices of soup – Clear 清汤，Tomyam, Kim Chi & Milk. Sounds interesting right? But I am more a heavy taster, so tomyum it was! The experience gets better if we get to sit near the moving belt as  we can take anything we want from the belt like sushi for the steamboat. Either way, we order from a piece of paper and wait for it to be served. Not bad, something special, and it’s All-You-Can-Eat @ RM38++/person and pretty worth it and hygienic because you eat with your own pot.

    Arron, me, Simon and Alvin.

    Interesting place for steamboat/shabu-shabu and that’s my Christmas Eve dinner 3 guys! Yeah and no girls.

    Extra member for Christmas Eve – Raykee Gor eating McChicken Nugget and Simon.

    Chaiwei, Me, Yiphing, Raykee, Simon and Arron.

    Actually, we don’t really have plan for Christmas, nor the feel for it, we spent like 15 minutes standing by the roadside thinking where to go, spent 15 minutes in the car counting down for Christmas and see other people celebrated it. Ended eating McChicken Nuggets at McDonald’s at 1am with extra 3 friends. Haha.

    Not a bad night out, Christmas only mah… Merry Christmas! =)

  • Malacca: Back Alley Cockles, Lala, Cuttlefish Seafood @ Tong Bee’s Stall

    Malacca: Back Alley Cockles, Lala, Cuttlefish Seafood @ Tong Bee’s Stall

    Malacca: Back Alley Cockles, Lala, Cuttlefish Seafood @ Tong Bee’s Stall – In August, I went to Malacca with friends, but then I missed out quite some nice food spot in the little historical town and one of them is this little seafood stalls located at the back alley / lorong of Jalan Bunga Raya. Little seafood that I mean are those small stuff like lala, siham (cockles), cuttlefish, tiger prawns and some other non-seafood like BBQ toufu.

    It’s a truly local style of food stall because firstly, it’s located on a back alley that you can hardly find it unless you walk into it, then you sit onto a low stool and share a long table with others. Very got feel and culture.

    Notice King’s or MY JEANS FASHION. It’s the alley left to it.

    It took me and Clarice a little while to search for it while driving on Jalan Bunga Raya and finally found it located beside My Jeans Fashion. You will be welcome and amazed by the little stalls located at the back alley, there’s two stalls and go for the one nearer to the street which is Tong Bee Stall, another one is operated by Capitol Satay Celup.

    Famous TV food show host Axian came before too!
    Preparing.
    Sihum Cockles.
    Lala.
    Cuttlefish with Kangkung.

    Sit down on the low stool and start ordering. There’s lala (RM1.50), sihum (RM1.50), cuttlefish with vege (RM7 for 2 person), tiger prawns and BBQ toufu. They are all very small plate and come with hot and sour chilli sauce which is good. Not forget to mention, the price is pretty reasonable too!

    Clarice with the lala.
    Thumbs up initially, thumbs down for the unfortunate event.
    Night comes to life at the quiet alley.

    One unfortunate event was that I ate a very stinky sihum which taste like, dirty drain water or something shit, it just gave me a bad experience. Probably because it’s not clean enough from the mud. Ewwwww. It was a good head start, ended with a bad sihum. But overall, this is something interesting, smell your sihum before you put in your mouth. Haha.

  • Klang Valley: Yum! Kopi @ The Mines

    Klang Valley: Yum! Kopi @ The Mines

    Klang Valley: Yum! Kopi @ The Mines – Went to The Mines Shopping Mall last weekend to check out the coolest book fair in Malaysia with cheapest book but then I didn’t know what’s good to eat at there. Checked the information map and didn’t find anything interesting also and ended up in this cool name – ‘Yum! Kopi’ Restaurant.

    Shop front of ‘Yum! Kopi’.

    ‘Yum’ means drink in Cantonese. =D It’s just another Old Town/Papparich-style restaurant, well since our main thing at there was not to eat so we didn’t mind a lot.

    Nasi Lemak. I like the sambal and the curry chicken is pretty spicy.
    Mushroom Chicken Nissin Noodle which I find it nice although it’s just instant noodle. Hahaha.

    Hahahahaha. Nothing much to comment, the Nissin noodle taste better than the nasi lemak, but the nasi lemak is not bad after all, better than Old Town in my opinion. So if you are looking for cheap bites at The Mines Shopping Mall, you may check out this one.

  • Klang Valley: Delicious Mali’s Corner Koay Teow Basar & Nasi Lemak

    Klang Valley: Delicious Mali’s Corner Koay Teow Basar & Nasi Lemak

    Klang Valley: Delicious Mali’s Corner Koay Teow Basar & Nasi Lemak – When we talk abou Char Koay Teow, we know it’s the fried flat noodle with Chinese-style soy sauce fried with cockles, eggs and beansprout, that’s the Chinese-style. How about the Malay-style? It’s almost the same, but it’s wet! Yeah, wet as in watery filled with gravy and they are delicious, believe me.

    See the queue!

    I’ve heard that Char Koay Teow Wet or Koay Teow Basah (Basah means wet in Malay) originate from Bukit Mertajam, Penang. I’ve tried a nice one in BM, but in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur, it seems to be a better one in my opinion!

    Queue for Nasi Lemak!
    Nasi Lemak Ayam Panas, looks interesting.
    Cheap also. RM4 for small, RM5 for big and Special is with extra shrimp and that’s RM6.50.

    Mali’s Corner is the name of the stall located near to TARC (Tunku Abdul Rahman College) which starts business at night, there’s another one outlet with a proper shoplot setup at Platinum Walk on Jalan Genting Klang too. Surprised to see that there’s a long queue for the Char Koay Teow Basah as well as the Nasi Lemak. The queue was not really long, less than 10 minutes can get my hands on a hot plate of Char Koay Teow. However, if you want to order Nasi Lemak, you have to queue again, so I’ve my friend Wei Lee queued for the Nasi Lemak and I queued for the Char Koay Teow.

    They both tasted very well to me and I like both of it! The gravy for the Koay Teow Basah is thick, and very good aroma and it has big cockles! As for the Nasi Lemak, the rice has a nice strong fragrance and the deep fried chicken is crunchy to my loving.

    Got to thanks Wei Lee for introducing me this place. =) By the way, I prefer this place @ Taman Bunga Raya then Platinum Walk because this is more authentic.

  • Klang Valley: Dragon Door Steamboat 龙门客栈火锅店

    Klang Valley: Dragon Door Steamboat 龙门客栈火锅店

    Ground floor is not the steamboat. You enter via the stairs beside, but then the ground floor restaurant has the similar design.

    Klang Valley: Dragon Door Steamboat 龙门客栈火锅店 – My friend Wesley has been telling me how good and special the steamboat is and I went to tried it last week, I felt … OKOK-only.

    You will be welcome by a wall of the shop owners photo taken with some celebrities. Do note that some photos are repeating to create a illusion that super celebrities were here before. Haha, but in fact, there’s quite many celebrities have been there.
    The interiors.

    What’s so special about this Dragon Door Steamboat at Cheras, near to Leisure Mall is the interior setting which is very cool, warm and got feel, and then the steamboat is fired by a real charcoal pot which many people claims that it taste better like this. I was not really surprised with charcoal steamboat as there’s one in Penang already.

    Guys of Diploma In Interior Design @ Taylor’s University – Arvin, Moh, Gino, Steve and Wesley.

    There’s no set menu, it’s all a la carte where you order the dishes one by one of your choice which I find it’s pretty difficult to get satisfaction, more over we are student and keep thinking how much it costs in the end. There’s plenty of sauce for you to mix and match to be eaten with your steamboat that I feel is nice.

    Oops, photo was bombed by the steam. Anyway, I very hate Si Chuan Spicy Soup.

    Whereas the soup were pretty good too except for the Si Chuan spicy soup which I’ve never fancy about all the while, I like the pork leg soup which surprisingly didn’t result in the craving of fluid like other steamboat’s soup does that has lots of MSG.

    Us again.

    Well, it’s a nice place, a little bit pricey and confusing that they should have set menu, and I prefer La Mei Zi in Penang.

  • Penang: The Twelve Cups – Awesome Mille Crepe

    Penang: The Twelve Cups – Awesome Mille Crepe

    Entrance from Beach Street.

    Penang: The Twelve Cups – Awesome Mille Crepe – Malacca has a very famous attraction which is the Nadeje Mille Crepe Cafe, people who goes to Malacca will surely visit it for a try. So, mille crepe, the ang mo-style of layer cake is now available in Penang, no need to go until Malacca to try, moreover this one is not bad too!

    The GOOD wall.
    The counter.
    The counter again.

    Located at Beach Street, in a very cool colonial-style building of WhiteAways Arcade is The Twelve Cups Cafe where you can find brew coffee and of course, the Mille Crepe cake. Actually it’s my friend – Huan Sheng who is the designer of the cafe, that introduced to this cafe, and also, the cafe is own by his friend, and that’s why. Haha. Being an interior design student, I am always checking out new cafes and retail outlet to get more inspiration. Well, the interiors is freshy, clean and contemporary, might say is today’s style of cafe.

    Hokkaido Chocolate Crepe, the in-house signature Mille Crepe which I like and rather small.

    Cut the crap and let’s check out the one and only mille crepe Clarice and I ordered. Haha. It’s the Hokkaido Chocolate Crepe (RM10.90), with chocolate layering, the strong aroma of milk melted in my tongue, give me a refreshing sense of sweetness and satisfaction. Yes, it’s nice. However, the portion is a little bit small in my opinion and it should be cut bigger. =) Sky juice is free by the way. XD

    I will come back again for more!

  • Ipoh: 糖水街 Tong Sui Kai (Desserts Street)

    Ipoh: 糖水街 Tong Sui Kai (Desserts Street)

    Ipoh: 糖水街 Tong Sui Kai (Desserts Street) – Ipoh oh Ipoh, I spent the day eating at Burps & Giggles, and also some times in Ipoh Parade shopping centre, it’s also the day I went to watch Sinister, oh so scary, shocking and exciting. =D Night, I went to this Tong Sui Kai, which literally means desserts street near old town, somewhere just in front Sam Tet Primary School (SRJK Sam Tet).

    So this street has a lot of desserts right? Not really, there’s few stalls only, selling the same Chinese desserts like lin chi kang, ABC and mix-fruit ice and stuff like that. Besides there’s local food stalls like wan tan mee, beef noodle and more! Sounds interesting right?

    Once interesting thing in Ipoh is that they are proud about their food, unlike in Kuala Lumpur, hawker stalls tend to write food place name at the their stall like Penang Asam Laksa, Ipoh Hor Fun and blablabla. At there, it’s just Asam Laksa, Wan Tan Mee.

    Well, I ordered a plate of wan tan mee (RM3.50) and a bowl of qing bu liang  清补凉 (RM2.50). Cheap and yummeh! Well, consider this as a place for dinner in Ipoh. =)
