Tong Yuen (Rice Dumpling) @ 1+1 Kopitiam, Seremban

I was getting excited when I saw this newly hung banner at this 2-Story shop. There are serving tong yuen. Tong yuen (Rice Dumpling) is also my favorite. Or shall I say I love most of  desserts  made of glutinous rice flour. Not many eatery in Seremban serves tong yuen. Ya…I know I can easily purchase a packet of vacuum packed tong yuen from Supermarket and boil it myself. But most of the time, I’m just lazy to do it …

Therefore being lazy, I would prefer to get a ready to eat ones.

Aside from Tong Yuen, they do serve noodles, rice and tong sui.

Economy Fried Bihun + Mee – RM1.50 (without egg)

For an economy breakfast, this is not bad. Especially the sambal which is yummy.

Konlou Lou Shee Fun – RM4.00

Taste wise is good. However I would prefer if its ‘darker’ (more black soy sauce).

Hakka Mee – RM4.00

The Hakka Mee was surprisingly good lor. Noodles were tangy and minced pork were tasty!!

Rice Dumpling in Soya Bean – RM2.50(3 pcs)

These are homemade rice dumpling. Wasn’t too sure if the soy bean is homemade. Since its not too sweet…I like it!

Taa Daahh**drum rolls**….revealing the best part!! Rice Dumpling stuffed with peanuts. (My favorite ahhh!!)

Dinner @ After 5 Uptown Cafe, Seremban 2

Another new hangout place for the youngsters. Erm…I shouldn’t say it new anymore. Because previously it was closed for renovation and now it has resumed its business since 28th June 2011. I noticed the number of cafes started to bloom here in Seremban. Yah…that’s good for me 🙂

I visited this cafe before and after the renovation. I’m not too sure whether did the management changed as well. Apparently, the whole menu was totally different from last time. Moreover they no longer serving pork dishes. *SIGH* (I like porky wor….)

Yeap….its HALAL now!!

Honestly I do not like the new menu. I hardly decide what to eat. There wasn’t much choice for me to choose. Why?? 65% of the menu comprised of desserts and drinks. Snacks and main course are the remaining 35%.  *Geez*

Cute Menu

The ambiance (sorry for the poor resolution)

Part of the dessert pages from menu. I’m tempted to try all of them. Hehehe….

By the way; minutes after the waitress took our order, then I remember that I should inform them to serve my dessert ‘after meal’. Unfortunately the waitress told me that my order already sent to the kitchen. Can’t change. **Huh…can’t do anything?? It was just like a minute wor…so fast they have done it meh???** Fine…I don’t blame her. Its the employer’s fault!! “Untrained staff”. Should ask  customers whether to serve dessert before or after meal….

Honeydew Pudding Snow – RM8.50 (recommended)

This ice dessert was served as the very first item. Being worried that the ice will melt fast; I was so hooked up to it. Bottom layer consist of pearls and sago then overlay with mango flavored pudding. Covered with crushed ice, smothered with fragrant gula melaka and topped with honeydew & passion fruit. Quite unique.

Grass Jelly with Taro Balls – RM5.90

Sorry to say….this is way different from SNOWFLAKES! Booo…

Need to improve… (I don’t mean to be bias ya)

Pomelo Plum – RM5.90 (recommended)

A refreshing drink indeed!

Ice Honey Lemon – RM5.00

Ice Lime Tea – RM4.00

Chicken Chop Rice – RM11.90 (so so only)

Seafood Kuey Teow Soup – RM10.90

At least this is better than my chicken chop rice ler..  The prawns were fresh. However I felt that the soup is alil bland. If only an extra pinch of salt to it would be even better.

Lala Soup Noodles – RM8.90

Dry Noodles (with Kimchi) – RM6.90

Just ignored the Kimchi, the noodles would be great! Because the Kimchi taste weird.

Dinner @ Restoran Bubur Manis Zhuan Kee

There are times I much prefer hawker food. Hawker food can be nice too…

What’s popular here? What are attracting most of the crowd? The ‘pan min’ or ‘min fun kou’ . I preferred ‘min fun kou’ than ‘pan min’. Besides that, they also served good tong sui with an affordable price(RM1.20-RM1.50). Types of tong sui that they usually have are; red bean soup, mung bean soup,  fu chuk yi mai (beancurd sheets and barley soup), bubur cha cha, sweet potato soup, ‘Mak Chuk’ (Wheat Porridge), Hak Lo Mai (Black Glutinous Rice).  This place was formerly located just a short distance away; at a small food court which has  torn down and now turned into a ‘lalang’ place. *what a waste*

I still remember us (usually with my siblings, or my neighbor) we walked there to ‘dapao’. Because we live nearby. Back then; a bowl of ‘min fun kou’ was only RM1.60. But that was 10 years ago…. Now the price has doubled!

Still so crowded as usual. Business hour starts from around 6pm till late night.

Wu Tau Kou (Yam Cake)

Papaya with White Fungus Tong Sui – RM1.20

A refreshing and has cooling effect soup. Boiled with jujube, white fungus and shredded papaya.

Bubur Cha Cha – RM1.50

A creamy bowl of bubur cha cha with flavorful coconut milk. Boiled with sago, sweet potato and cubes of yam.

Min Fun Kou – RM3.70 (Medium)

Though it may look simple, but the broth is tasty and flavorful. Topped with crispy fried anchovies. Must be eaten with cili padi!!!

Hakka Mee

Not bad. But of course ‘Tow Kee’ is still the best! *Laughs*

Pork Satay -RM0.60 each

The meat was grilled to perfection. Meat is tender and juicy yet tasty. Nice ler…Not much of fats too…Likey**

Food : 8/10

Service : 7/10 (though its so crowded, but the food served were quite fast)

Dinner @ MATSU Japanese Restaurant, Seremban

I recently fall in love with Sashimi (raw fish) especially on Salmon.<—-My latest Affection!!

Once again I would like to emphasize, in Seremban there aren’t much choices of Japanese Restaurant. (Sushi King is not counted). An authentic ones I shall say. This restaurant happens to be located near my house and has been operating for few years. Business is quite good too…(like wise I said not much choices ma).

My first visit was years back (wahhh….sounded so long ler). And this was my second visit. Wanting to try some sashimi lor…salmon perhaps.  *wink*

Located in the middle of  a row of 2-storey shops.

Simple interior deco

warm lighting with some Japs feel (style)

Chef at work! The open kitchen concept.

wah..got newspaper cuttings from local news publications..

We took sometime to study the menu as they offers extensive menu.

Itacho Omakase Sashimi – RM110 (Chef’s Recommendation*)

This plate of sashimi embedded with  julienne white radish recommended by chef for serving of 2. The price gave me a shock. However, I wouldn’t deny that the raw fish are indeed very fresh . (still missing it). – satisfied the hungry woman.

Tori Teppanyaki – RM19.80 (recommended)

The pieces of chicken meat were nicely pan-fried. Taste good & the meat are tender too. Served together with some bean sprout. I recalled the bean sprout fat and crunchy.

Garlic Fried Rice – RM7.80 (recommended)

A simple fried rice with egg and light soya sauce. Garnished with chopped golden brown garlic and spring onion. Couldn’t resist the nice fragrant of the rice. Served warm!

Asari Miso Shiru – RM7

Miso soup with clams. I find that the soup more on the salty side.

Chawa Mushi – RM5.80

A normal chawa mushi(steamed egg) with slices of mushroom.

Food :  4/5

Service : 4/5

Price : I find it quite expensive ler….

PappaRich has arrived Seremban

Papparich has now landed in Seremban town!! Something to glamor about lor…For the past whole month, its always crowded. Especially during peak hours. New stuff, new place, everyone will be buzzing there. I remembered there’s one night, I went there with my mom & brother at about 9pm. We need to wait to get a seat. Not only that, I wasn’t dare to order any food (worried I may need to wait long). Therefore all 3 of us only ordered drinks. Hence it took 30 minutes for the drinks to be served!! Quite pissed oso lar…Moreover they hired mostly foreign workers…it was like a hen talking to duck (kai tung arp kong). He don’t understand my question and I hardly understand his reply….. DUHHHHH

Last Saturday, Sin Wei and I met up for breakfast. As a token of appreciation, she offered to treat me breakfast at Papparich.  Ahh..that would be good enough.

You would much prefer to dine in the morning. We were there at 9am and there were only few tables of customers.

Hi Tea @ SELERA Coffee House, Klana Resort Seremban

In Seremban, there isn’t much choice or places to enjoy a decent hi-tea buffet. Normally we would either go to Klana Resort Seremban or Royale Bintang Seremban. Marcus’s birthday falls on 6th June, therefore we decided to celebrate his birthday a day earlier. In order to avoid any disappointment, we made our reservation with SELERA Coffee House.  We arrived there at about 12.30pm.

Dinner @ Jade Dragon Restaurant (Dai Cheong Kam)

I like Korean food. However, in Seremban it is quite limited choice. Unlike in KL, you can easily get one. This restaurant operates by a Korean family and has been operating for several years. Unfortunately this was my first time trying their food. Previously, Baby Sumo did recommend this place to me. Finally I got the chance to try it myself after the suggestion was made by my sister and brother in law.

I recalled; each time I pass by this restaurant, it looks so quiet as if the business were not good and that they were not receiving much customers. Therefore I may have doubts on it. Until last Sunday, after I had my dinner there, my perception has changed! To my surprise, the food is good and it even taste better than SIL RO AM. Perhaps; I would say the best Korean food in Seremban.

It is located at Oakland. This street is rather quiet in the evening.

We sat at the section behind this partition. More privacy I suppose..

Ban chan (side dishes).

This is what I love most about Korean food. The varieties of Ban chan. The boss was kind enough to place 2 sets of ‘ban chan’ because there were 6 of us and we sat on a long table.

a bowl of rice at RM3 each. This is not our local white rice. Its Korean rice.

Gochujang Bul-Go-Gi (Spicy Marinated Pork) – RM25

Dae-Ji Bul Go-Gi (Marinated Pork) – RM25

This is the purpose of them serving lettuce along with the grilled meat. Place a small amount of rice, a piece of meat, the sauce and wrap/roll it.

Sliced Pork – RM25

All the pork dishes above are yummy! Moreover they will do all the works (grilling) for you.

Pah Jean(pancake) – RM25

My first encounter on the pancake. It taste good after you dip in the sauce given. Otherwise it taste quite bland.

Hae Mul Tang(small)(Seafood Steamboat) – RM70

The best dish of the meal! Soup itself is tasty and spicy. A mouth watering dish and appetizing as well. Contains generous amount of seafood too. -1 whole crab, 1 big piece of octopus, mussels, clams, prawns, tofu and bean sprout.

Perhaps a closer look…

Though ‘small’ size portion, but is enough for 6 person too.

Pizza Hut “WOW SAVERS 50% DISCOUNT”

Pizza Hut is currently having the promotion of “WOW SAVERS 50% DISCOUNT” applicable only on weekdays. When it says 50%, it does sounds quite worth. I can have a meal while enjoy the saving of 50% off the price. However of cause they aren’t stupid to offer everything from the menu with 50% discount. Only selected ones which varies each day from Monday to Friday.

Here are the selected ones. One person is only entitle to order 1 item.

It was quite sometime I did not have a meal at Pizza Hut. I’m going to make use this opportunity.

I love pastas. Therefore I chose to go on Friday. Check out the slashed price from RM10.50 to RM5.25. Cheap right?? You may take a closer look on the “Creamy Carbonara” photo shown above and the real piece I’m having it here. **spot the difference game**

This is the real plate of “Creamy Carbonara” . Sorry to say, the taste is lousy…. And the bread-stick is missing from the plate too!!! Could it be fall somewhere while serving it?? =_=

A bowl of salad we ordered – RM5.50

I love to have alot of thousand island dressing on my salad. Unfortunately their vege started to turn yellowish. Which means not fresh already right??

Triple Platter – RM18.90 (add-on)

Honey BBQ Wings, Masala Spin Roll and Criss-Cut Fries served with cool lime mayo sauce.

The entire meal we had, only the “Triple Platter” was good! *bad bad*

Lunch with Tracy @ Restoran Asia

Tracy came by my office to meet me up for lunch. She misses the laksa so much ever since the previous lunch we had there. (Around 1 month ago). Therefore she suggested to have the same laksa for lunch. I second the idea too. *smiles*

Restoran Asia, is quite famous in Seremban. Popularity came from its laksa! There are 2 Restoran Asia in Seremban (both are related). One is located at Rahang, while the main one is located at Senawang. At times, people do debate on which is nicer. However the Senawang branch has more varieties other than laksa, they do have ‘yong tau fu’ and nasi lemak. Unlike the Rahang branch which solely on laksa.

I do not fancy laksa with too thick gravy. Means too rich in coconut milk. But this is different. The curry gravy is rich in flavor even though not just depending on coconut milk itself. The chili paste that they use is good.  If you wish to purchase the chili paste, its for sale at RM5.50 per container.

an old building

an old-style coffee shop

Price starts from RM3.50(S), RM4.00(M), RM4.30(L)

Price may vary depending on what additional items you add on. Example; minced pork, char siew, curry chicken, egg. Besides that, you may also choose your choice of noodle. Selection of mee hoon, lou shu fun(my fav!), egg noodle and kuey teow.

Tracy’s order. Mee Hoon with char siew and egg along with taufu pok & bean sprout

My order. Lou Shu Fun with minced pork, cockles (my fav!) along with taufu pok & bean sprout

check it out in a closer view

Look at the less-oily curry broth yet still rich in flavors!

Restoran Asia is at 364, Jalan Tok Ungku, Seremban, opposite the Rahang post office.

My Favorite Food @ Pasar Besar Seremban

Pasar Besar or wet market is the place we usually find fresh vege and meat. How often do we recall it as a place serving good local authentic food? Or shall I say food heaven?? A place I would like to recommend here is Pasar Besar Seremban. The food stalls are located on 1st floor. Hence; there are few stalls that I would like to emphasize here because they are my favorite! Unfortunately, to find a parking here; is kinda testing your patience and luck especially during peak hours. (before 10am). However you wouldn’t want to be too late to arrive there(after 12pm) because some of the food may be sold out by then.

Last Saturday, I made an effort to try them along with my mom & brother. The 3 of us were kinda like eating from 1 spot to another, sharing the serving all together so that we would be able to taste each of it.

The Exterior of Pasar Besar Seremban

1)  Tow Kee Hakka Mee

A family business which formerly runs by their father. There is another shop with same owner located at Jalan Kapitan Tam Yeong. Both shops are now operating by 2 brothers.

I ordered for Large size = RM3.70

What I like about this noodle? Love the tangy-ness of the home-made noodle topped with tasty minced pork. Simple yet very popular!!  (the green thing is pickled chili)

2) Mee Hoon Sotong (Cuttlefish Vermicelli) – (stall No. 753)

A plate of this = RM3.50 (only 1 standard size)

The mee hoon is fried (not really deep fry), flooded with a brown color gravy then topped with braised pork slice, sotong(cuttlefish) and vegetable.

3) Konlou ‘Lou Shu Fun’ – (stall No. 735)

RM2.70(small),  RM3.20(big)

I’m a big fans of ‘lou shu fun’. Therefore I mustn’t miss this. And if you are 1 of them too…I foresee you will surely like it too. Another simple noodle, yet popular and taste good.  Why do I said simple? The lou shu fun just mix with some sauce (light soya sauce, dark soya sauce, oil) & topped with yummylious minced pork!

4) Mee Rojak – (stall No. 785)

This mee rojak is similar to the mamak’s version. You may order without the ‘mee’ (yellow noodle). What’s hidden under the sauce?? Kuih udang, tofu, potatoes. I topped up an additional piece of keropok udang. The sauce is of sweet and sour taste. This plate of rojak is RM4.00.

5) Sugarcane Juice – (stall No. 749)

Sugarcane Juice with Lime = RM1.60

On a hot and sunny day; this is best to quench our thirst. Oh ya, the owner claimed this is his new creation of sugarcane. “Sugarcane Juice with Lemon”. *a sip through my drying throat* ehh…taste good leh… so refreshing and the sweetness is so natural. Moreover I saw the sugarcane was process only once. Unlike some traders who uses the same cane through the sugarcane processor for several times.

Unfortunately; I have no chance to try the beef noodles which was told very nice & famous because I can’t take beef =_=

Sin Yee Kee Seremban Beef Noodles (Stall 748)

All the stalls above have been operating for many years.
