Nice Brunch @ The Red Beanbag, Publika

Nice Breakfast @ The Red Beanbag, Publika – Publika! One of my favourite place in the city. It was one fine Sunday morning, almost noon that my family were in town and wanted to eat some cool and nice brunch as it’s pretty late. Then I thought of taking them to check out Publika, at the same time brunch at The Red Beanbag Restaurant as I’ve read that they serve breakfast set.

It was pretty crowded that Sunday morning as we waited about 15 minutes for a table. After being seated, it’s time to order and eat! I ordered myself a Big Breakfast Set (RM20) which comes with a little portion of baked bean, bacon, beef sausage, bread, hash brown and two cute poached egg. Yummy! Everything was fine, just the portion is small to me. Perhaps it’s breakfast set?

Mom and brother ordered the Egg Atlantic (RM17.90) which is a small French toast, topped with smoked salmon, snappy asparagus, mushrooms and pached eggs with a smooth hollandaise sauce. I tried it and I think I favor this more than my order.

Dad want something that has a bigger portion, something that can filled his stomach well and he has got a Fowl Luck (RM25) which is roasted chicken thigh with herbed potatoes, mushrooms, olives & mushroom gravy. Dad is more of a oriental food eater, so this kind of dish was a bit too light for him.

Afterall, it was a good brunch session and will come back another time in the future. =)

Breakfast Wan Tan Mee At Taman OUG

Breakfast Wan Tan Mee At Taman OUG – Was craving for Wan Tan Mee (noodle) this morning and went to the one located at PJS7 Low Cost Flat area but it was not open. Then the place ‘Taman OUG’ came up on my mind as it was somewhere in between the way to the city centre then off I went to that place.

I recalled once I had Wan Tan Mee at there but have forgotten about which stall and coffee shop it was. Randomly, I went to the coffee shop (Restorant Swee Hing) that has the most people. Parking was a big problem at that area, but I still managed to find one. Wan Tan Mee stall located at the front was the first thing that greeted me so I quickly ordered one to easy my morning hungryness.

RM4.50 for the above plate of Wan Tan Noodle, with plentiful of char siew, 3 wan tan in soup, a little kai lan and the springy noodle. Oily as it seems, but the noodle was springy enough and the soy sauce was just nice to my taste. Too bad there’s too less kailan vegetable. Char siu was so-so to me although sweet. As for the wantan, it’s not bad afterall. It’s just another kind of wan tan mee if were to compare to Penang’s. Penang’s has lard in it!

Please introduce some nice Wan Tan Mee place in Klang Valley, Kuala Lumpur, PJ. =)

By the way, kopi-peng costs RM1.90! This is KL, duh…

糖百府 Tong Pak Fu Hong Kong Desserts

糖百府港式甜品 Tong Pak Fu Hong Kong Desserts – Went to Paradigm Mall today after class as I have a long break in between the next class and tried the Hong Kong desserts shop – Tong Pak Fu. This one is the real desserts franchise from Hong Kong, not to be confuse with the Penang-made Snowman Tang Bo Fu.

There’s various outlet of Tong Pak Fu in Malaysia, you can find it in Suria KLCC, Empire Shopping Gallery, Paradigm Mall and soon opening in Penang too! Tong Pak Fu serves a variety of Hong Kong desserts like Mango desserts, sesame paste, walnut paste, beverages and more icy desserts. There’s curry fish ball too!

We were really too free and spent about an hour plus at there. Taylor’s U is kinda stupid lately because they arranged my timetable in a poor manner. We have an hour class in the morning and in between we have about 6 hours break. What to do? Eat Tong Pak Fu. Check out the desserts that we have ordered.

Mango Fluffy Ice Series. RM8.80 for regular, the ice is very nice, love the pop eggs too, but not the tasteless Nata de Coco. It would be better with real mango cube. But overall, acceptable. =D

Horlicks Fluffy Ice Series. RM11.80 for Large. Pretty nice with grass jelly topping and the taste of horlicks in the ice is very strong. Good for horlicks fans.

Red Bean Paste. RM4.80. According to my friend Jia Hui, she said this is not good. The taste is weird and too saturated.

Sesame Ball. RM5.80. Basically, this is plain glutinous rice ball tang yuan with sesame topping. It would be awesome if there’s filling inside.

Well, I have got to say they are so-so only, the pictures in the menu do indeed look awesome, but taste wise is just normal. I would prefer Hui Lau Shan for mango and KTZ for sesame paste. =D However, the fluffy ice is very cool here.

Afternoon Lunch At Kim Gary With Friends

Afternoon Lunch At Kim Gary With Friends – Back to KL, different lifestyle back here, no more heritage seeing, cycling, sunset/sunrise searching and street food, life in the city is always shopping mall, driving, restaurants and that’s it. Different place, different style of life.

So, Sunday went to where? Went to Ikea, went to eat Kim Gary at The Curve – the kidnap mall with friends from, err, everywhere, Connie from Sandakan? Henry from Johor Bahru? Arvin Medan, Indonesia? Only Laiquen, the only KL local. Haha.

Super crowded at Ikea and The Curve and spent almost half of our afternoon in Kim Gary Restaurant. It’d been ages since I’ve visited Kim Gary Restaurant. Last time I used to visit it all the time when I was in Penang, but now very seldom already.

After eating until so full, we went Ikea for a while. I think there’s more people shopping in Ikea than at Tesco at that time. I’m starting to get bored of Ikea already because I’ve been there for so many time and I know where is what and the price. Haha. Although it’s boring, I still bought stuff, some storage box and a Golden Gate Bridge poster (will share other time when my room is clean XD). Well, I am waiting for a new term of Ikea catalogue (2013), guess soon already?

Anyway, check out the food we had today, not reviewing, just some food p0rn for you. =)

Cheese Baked Seafood Abalone Rice.

Member’s special – special mashed potato, with crab stick, cheese, and shrimp.

Western set – chicken chop, pork chop, ham, sausage, sunny egg, rice and some vege.

Spanish fried rice, my order, mussle, green lantern chili, tomato, onion, shrimp and ham, tasted spicy and sweet.

Pork chop rice!

Ochado Signature Bubble Tea @ Paradigm Mall

Ochado Signature Bubble Tea @ Paradigm Mall – It’s post about Paradigm Mall again, I am not promoting, just can’t help myself from sharing with you guys of what I have tried at the mall. Here’s another F&B outlet I went in Paradigm Mall – Ochado Signature bubble tea cafe. I believe many of you have heard about Ochado. =D

Last time, I was a Taiwanese bubble fan, but now, I don’t really drink a lot because it’s fattening, but then I still drink occasionally. There’s many bubble tea outlet in Paradigm Mall, like Each A Cup, Chatime, Meet Fresh, and more I think. But then this Ochado Signature is the most appealing to me with a nice, simple and clean cafe design, which is a good place to chit chat with friends.

I visited the cafe on the first day went to Paradigm Mall with Arron and Carmen, we wanted a place to sit down and talk and found this. I am not really familiar with Ochado’s beverage, I am more to Chatime and Gongcha. After looking at the menu, I ordered myself a Ochado Pop Egg Milk Tea.

Pop Egg is a pearl replacement in the milk tea and it pops once it’s in your mouth, kinda like caviar, but cheap version. It pops out a sweet taste. Well, it’s fun popping in your mouth but then I prefer bubble pearl which allows me to chew. Pop egg is too fast and has no sensation in the mouth. By the way, it costs RM5.90 for the regular cup of Pop Egg Milk Tea.

Dinner At Sushi Zanmai, Paradigm Mall

Dinner At Sushi Zanmai, Paradigm Mall – It was 9pm on a Saturday night and the whole Paradigm Mall at Kelana Jaya was so crowded with people! I picked a wrong place for dinner already. I jammed in the car park, then I jammed inside the mall. It’s human everywhere! Every eatery outlet, restaurants, cafe have a queue outside their outlet.

I went to Sushi Zaimai at the top floor and found a long queue outside the Japanese restaurant too! No doubt about the queue because they always have queue outside their outlet all the time, except the one at Sunway Pyramid. It’s 9.30pm and so lucky that Hueisean and I were the last person who get to eat as we were the last order. I wonder why so early as it’s still 9,30pm only, guess they wanted to close shop earlier? Haha.

US! =D Hueisean dear and me.

The waitress took our order, queued for another half an hour, then we were sited in a big table. Our orders came fast. It’s a very simple dinner. We ordered a Spicy Ramen, a Chicken Karaage Don and a Dai Dai Roll.

Spicy Ramen (RM10.80) is a soup ramen with vegetable, mushroom and ramen. The soup is salty, a little bit spicy and I’ll say good, but then there’s not much ingredient in this bowl of ramen. There should have char siew or tamago. Hahaha.

Next is the Chicken Karaage Don (RM8.80) which is rice, fried chicken with sweet sauce and onion. The chicken is crispy fried in Japanese style, but I found that this dish is too dry and not nice eating it. I prefer Chicken Katsudon more with a bit gravy and egg.

Last one, a dozen of Dai Dai Roll (RM12.80). The name of this roll is really very funny, Dai Dai, die die? It’s sushi roll with slices of salmon on top, crab meat and avocado. It’s nice, but then the salmon is too thin already, it should have been a thicker cut. But since the price is OK, then it’s OK.

许留山甜品 Hui Lao Shan Hong Kong Desserts @ 1 Utama

许留山甜品 Hui Lao Shan Hong Kong Desserts @ 1 Utama – I can’t believe Hui Lao Shan, the famous desserts chain in Hong Kong is in Malaysia. Few years ago, Singapore’s airport had out outlet but closed down. Many people also came to my blog to ask about the franchise question but I have no idea how to answer them, but now they are really here in Kuala Lumpur, one outlet at 1 Utama Shopping Mall, Damansara Utama and another one is at Pavilion Shopping Mall, Bukit Bintang.

It is located at the newly renovated old wings of 1 Utama Shopping Mall. I accidentally passed by the place while doing some window shopping then brother and I went to try out the desserts. I actually tried it before when I traveled to Hong Kong few years back but seldom eat it already because the price went up in Hong Kong.

Surprisingly, the price in Malaysia is cheaper, I would say affordable too. The menu is exactly the same as what you could find in Hong Kong and the staffs tried to speak Cantonese in Hong Kong accent. You can also find the box of plastic disposable spoon and fork same in Hong Kong too.

Brother ordered one Mango Fiesta 芒果小盛宴 (RM12.90) which consists of 3 thing, a mango ice cream, a mango ice-cream-cake thingy, and a mango blended with small glutinous ball (tang yuan). The mango ice-cream-cake-thingy is kinda nice it’s not really ice cream, but it’s not soft, I don’t know how to describe it, it’s special. Haha.

Mine is the Mango & Fruits Combo 什果芒果捞野 (RM12.90), this one basically is a very healthy fruit plates with a foundation of mango blended ice and topped with various fruits like coconut jelly, kiwi, strawberry, watermelon, honeydew and lots of sweet mango! Yums. Although, the price is not very cheap, but then still cheaper than in Hong Kong, so eating it once in a while is OK. Haha. But then the location in 1 Utama is not very good as it’s not easily spotted by people. They should open one in SS15, Subang Jaya, or maybe Paradigm Mall, which are near to me! Hahaha.

Taiwan Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken @ Pavilion, KL

Taiwan Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken @ Pavilion, KL – Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken is very famous in Taiwan where many people queue for the large fried chicken fillet. Now it has come to Malaysia and there’s two outlet, one at SS15 and another at the basement of Pavilion shopping mall. I always very tempted to try it out, curious that why is it so popular in Taiwan and last week, I bought myself a piece of original large fried chicken.

This kinda of large fried chicken is a street snack origin from Taiwan. You can normally find them in pasar malam in Malaysia and it’s not healthy because of the deep fried cooking method. Haha.

It costs RM7.90 for a piece of Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken, RM1 – RM2 more than those typical large fried chicken at pasar malam. You can also ask for the level of spiciness. I ordered a mid-spicy level one. What’s so special about it is it’s really very huge, they guarantee the fried chicken fillet is 30cm long and seriously, it’s that big. First few bites is pretty good, but after that I felt I have enough of it, it’s too big and I felt full after eating half of it. Hahaha. One thing, it takes a while for your fried chicken to be ready as they fried upon your order. You get a drinks with the set @ RM9.65 (only ice lemon tea available).

If there’s a chance, I’m gonna try the original one in Taiwan Shihlin. Anyway, I prefer KFC more than this one. How about you?

Famous 45-Minutes Pork Noodle @ Ooi Noodle House, SS15

Famous 45-Minutes Pork Noodle @ Ooi Noodle House, SS15 – My friend told me about a famous pork noodle (g yok fun) in SS15, Subang Jaya. I didn’t really bother about until a day, suddenly my mind feels like finding it. I search on Foursquare about the location and I not really sure, it says ‘Famous 45-minutes Pork Noodle’, so I follow the map on Foursquare and reaches this Ooi Noodle House.

I asked for 2 bowls of pork noodles, koay teow and the person told me, “Need to wait 45-minutes wor…”. I was like, really?

I went in to the cafe, it was tea time about 3pm, I saw many people were waiting for the pork noodle, reading newspaper, playing with iPhone and iPod. Seems like everyone is OK with the wait, so me and my dear Hueisean waited together, chatting the way to our pork noodle to arrive.

It costs RM5/bowl and to be honest, the soup is really tasty. It’s very sweet and ‘pork-ful’. There’s sinful deep fried lard, minced meat, pork liver, sliced lean pork and vegetable. I guess it really lives off with the name of 45-minutes pork noodle. I’ve got to say, it worth the wait (once in a while). I really like the pork noodle, but the wait is kinda long somehow, have to wait for the mood comes again and I’ll visit the shop – Ooi Noodle House.

Another Taiwanese Milk Tea – Mocato Tea @ SS15, Subang Jaya

Another Taiwanese Milk Tea – Mocato Tea @ SS15, Subang Jaya – SS15, Subang Jaya is getting to become a mini-Taiwan franchise neighbourhood with so many Taiwanese food, beverage and desserts shop popping up at there like Chatime, Snowflakes, Coco, Par Tea Time, HOTSTAR XXXL Chicken, and this one Mocato Tea, which is created by founder of Jogoya Japanese Buffet.

My Penang friend, Yiphing and Chien Chern came to dinner with me and after dinner we didn’t know where to go, randomly suggested SS15. At SS15, we randomly came to Mocato Tea because it’s something new that we haven’t try before. It’s quieter there, and the interior ambience is kinda cool too! They have Unifi hotspot somemore for high speed Internet.

Actually nowadays bubble tea feels all the same to me, Gong Cha, Chatime, Sharetea and so many more. It’s just for the fun of drinking it and spending time at a different environment. I ordered myself a Black Jelly Milk Tea (RM5.90 regular cup) and it’s actually standard milk tea with a kind of stripe chewy black jelly. Very springy, very Q, but I prefer pearl more.

Overall, it’s kinda good and if you order pearl, they give you a big cup of pearl. So far so good, will come back to this place. =)
