Penang Mee Goreng
My hubby and his brother are die hard mee goreng and mee rebus fans. So! Here we are, having mee goreng for brunch at Asia Cafe Kota Damansara. This place was recommended by a friend.

Mee Goreng
We finally found an authentic Penang mee goreng place where we can go to whenever we crave for Penang mee goreng. The stall owner claims that he was from Air Itam and his father is the owner of the mee goreng stall near Air Itam roundabout.

Mee Rebus
We also ordered mee rebus which unfortunately is just okay. The gravy is very diluted and not up to our expectation.

If you are not into mee goreng or mee rebus, there are many different stalls selling different types food as well.

This outlet is very clean and airy, unlike the outlet in Subang Jaya. Great place to bring foreign guests to try local hawker food. A new hangout and makan place for everyone!

有骨气 Bone & Pot

有骨气 Bone & Pot
No:88, SS21/61 47400 Damansara Utama PJ

We celebrated Mellisa's birthday at 有骨气 Bone & Pot. Initially I thought Bone & Pot is a Bak Kut Teh's place but it turned out to be a steamboat place. Should have guessed because Octrine is our steamboat queen.

Signature Pork Bone Broth
The essence of steamboat is in its soup. Here at Bone & Pot, they claimed that they fully understand this maxim. That's why they use only the freshest bones mixed with their secret ingredients cooked over fire for more than eight hours to bring out the heavenly fragrance and flavour.
 
Freshly Made Ingredients
Our pot of broth comes with pieces of big bones and corns. Very sweet and yet we are not thirsty after drinking the soup.

Freshly Made Stuffed Tau Foo Pok
Good soup must go with freshly made steamboat ingredients.

At Bone & Pot, the ingredients are made and served on order to ensure freshness in every bite.

Steamboat Dipping Sauces

Naturally there are three things that make a good steamboat meal...the soup base, freshly made ingredients and the dipping sauce.
The "foo yee" sauce is highly recommended by Octrine. A bit on the salty side though. My personal choice is the super spicy chili sauce.

We had a great time at 有骨气 Bone & Pot. Thanks to our steamboat queen :)

Kedai Kopi Kwong Hong - Gunung Rapat Ipoh

Kedai Kopi Kwong Hong
Jalan Gunung Rapat (opposite Gunung Rapat wet market)
31350 Gunung Rapat, Ipoh.

Yong Tau Foo
Last week, my family went back to Kulim for "Cheng Beng". On the way back to KL, we stopped at Gunung Rapat Ipoh for dinner.

More Yong Tau Foo
 We wanted something light and ended up at Kwong Hong for noodles and yong tau foo.

More Yong Tau Foo
We ordered 2 different types of yong tau foo, soupy and fried stuffs. Both also taste good but the "must try" are the vegetable (water crest and lettuce) yong tau foo. Cannot get these in KL/Ampang.

Pan Mee
 Sis and I share a bowl of pan mee. The soup is very tasty (cooked with lots of ikan bilis). Yum Yum.

The hor fun soup and hor fun kon lou are not bad too but I would highly recommend the pan mee.

Chok Chea
Apart from tasty yong tau foo and pan mee, their "leong fun" and "chok chea" drink are also highly recommended - must try!

Leong Fun

Restaurant Taiping Ho Chiak

Restaurant Taiping Ho Chiak
28 Jalan SS 2/10 47300 Petaling Jaya,
TEL: 603-78766648

Restaurant Taiping Ho Chiak has nostalgic Nyonya theme with strong Taiping ambiance that reminds me of my childhood days when Dad used to take us to Taiping to visit my aunt.

We found this place by accident after a meal at Seeri Authentic Thai and had gone back twice since then. My hubby loves the food here because it reminds him of his Mum's cooking.

Ju Hu Char
Since it's only both of us, we go for their set meal. On our first outing, we had Ju Hu Char, Hae Kean, Nyonya sweet and sour fish, soup of the day (kiam chye th'ng), sambal belacan and white rice. All for RM28.00. Value for money and the dishes are actually quite good and portion is just nice for both of us.

Kiam Chye Ark
Our second set meal cost RM32.00.

Sambal Udang
It comes with Ju Hu Char, Lo Bak, Kiam Chye Ark, Acar Timun, Sambal Udang and Tong Sui. The dishes are good too except for the Lo Bak which is too hard.

We will definitely make this place our regular eating place as food is good and price is reasonable.

Seo Gung Korean Restaurant 西宫

Seo Gung Korean Restaurant 西宫
Address: No 21M & 23M,Jln SS2/67,47300 PJ,Selangor.
Tel: 03-78758868

Located at SS2 Petaling Jaya, Seo Gung offers variety of Korean BBQ food pleasure. This restaurant is managed by Hwang Sun Bae, a native Korean back in November 2006. One may also asked what does Seo Gung means....it's actually "The King of Kitchen Room" in Korean.

I've been to this restaurant a few times but Ive never blog obout it. Recently my hubby and I went back and we ordered the BBQ set which comes with sirlion beef, chicken ribs, Kimchi Chigae, steam egg, a variety of side dishes and two iced citron drink.


We do not have to cook it ourself. The meats are cooked in front of us on the charcoal stove in the middle of the table. The waiter does all the grilling while we sit back and enjoy watching our food being cooked.

After the meat is grilled, we put some garlic and the sauce provided on the lettuce leave together with the meat, roll it up and munch away. You may request for more lettuce leave as well as garlic. What's missing was the cut green chili which some Korean BBQ restaurant provides.

Kimchi Chigae
I like Kimchi Chigae, a spicy pickle cabbage soup. The version here is served with tofu and some meat. It had just right combination of sourness and spiciness. Yum!

Steam Eggs
The steam egg is also very yummy. Leave it to cool in the heated pot for additional flavor.

The side dishes were very tasty too. Both of us were so full even though we did not order rice. Another satisfying dinner. Our meal cost RM75.00.

Seeri Authentic Thai Restaurant


Seeri Authentic Thai Restaurant
26 Jalan SS2/10, Petaling Jaya, Selangor
Tel: 03 7877 7659 / 012 3789618
GPS: N3 06.933 E101 37.006

Seeri Authentic Thai restaurant is located on the same row as Kayu Nasi Kandar, right beside Taiping Lang.

Fish Cake
Moey suggested that we (Kenny & I) meet up for dinner at this restaurant on Friday. Kenny was the first to arrive, I was late but Moey was worst. She arrived 2 hours later because it was pouring and every where was jammed.

Meang Kam
While waiting for Moey, we ordered "Meang Kam" (Thai salad) and "Tod Wan Pla" (fried fish cake) to munch.

"Meang Kam" is a simple but delicious appetiser. First, put the paste on the "daun gaduk", fold the "duan gaduk" and add the different shredded ingredients (shallots, lime, chili, lemongrass, roasted coconut and roasted peanuts). Enjoy the different flavors of the salad :) Go slow on the chili padi though...I can eat spicy food but the chili padi used for the "meang kam" is really "pedas".

Steam Seabass
"Pla Kapong Neung Manao" (steamed seabass with lime, garlic and chili padi). This dish was a "must try" dish on the menu. No regrets. We really liked this dish especially the soup which is slightly sweet, sourish and spicy. Yummy.

Green Curry Chicken
"Kheng Kiao Wan - Kai" (green curry - chicken). This dish is not too bad. I prefer red curry with duck but they do not serve that.

Mix Vege
We also ordered mix vegetable. After dinner, Moey and I go for dessert, "Tap Thin Krob" which I do not find nice...too much ice and coconut milk. What I liked though is the lemongrass tea. I had two glasses of that :)

Another great evening out with my best friends. They are always very supportive and concern about me. Friday was the 5th day I'm with my new company and it is great to have friends who care about how I am coping in the new place. Thanks Moey and Kenny. I know I can always count on you both :)

Restaurant Hock Lai Bah Kut Teh - Klang

Klang is famous for Bak Kut Teh (BKT) and Restaurant Hock Lai which is located in Taman Intan (opposite the Chinese school) is one of the many BKT outlets.

Sai Kuat
My friend, Melissa and I love bak kut teh and last Saturday, we drove to Klang for bak kut teh breakfast.

We have tried Teluk Pulai Pottery Bak Kut Teh and today, we decided to try Hock Lai's.

Claypot BKT
We ordered a bowl of sai kut, a bowl of pig's maw and a pot of lean meat bak kut teh with additional Enoki mushroom, tau pok and vegetables. We also ordered yau char kuey to go with the bak kut teh.

Been eating too much rich food during Chinese New Year but we are still craving for BKT, so we ended up still eating BKT but with less meat and more vegetables.

Another friend from Klang met us at the outlet and her husband (Leng) introduced us to Klang Food Centre, the famous hand made pau (steamed Chinese bun). After breakfast, we all adjourned to buy the famous pau.

After listening to Leng's introduction to Klang food, we realized that there is more than just bak kut teh and seafood in Klang. We all agreed that we have to plan another Klang outing to try out more Klang specialities. I'm looking forward to the next trip to Klang.
