Mel’s Birthday – Part 1

1 Comment

Owww…..sad to know that my 28th birthday has just over.

I’m aging year by year….gosh…time flies really fast without one realizing it..

As usual, I’ll be celebrating my birthday with my family & my loved one.

This year, I spared the earlier weekend to celebrate with my family.

We decided to have dinner at a cafe, which newly opens not long ago. Received some good reviews from friend & colleague. Therefore decided to give it a try. They serves fusion food. (western & chinese).

the very 1st dish. “tom yum soup” ..

not so good…. doesn’t taste like tom yum 😦

black pepper udon – NICE

fried chicken wings

-yummy….taste of ‘nam yi’ –

pork meat balls……tasty

Spaghetti – delicious

black pepper chicken chop

chicken maryland – SOSO only!

YOO….We siblings ROCKS!!

Note: This cafe is located in Uptown Avenue, Seremban 2.

I think their western food (those chop chop) so so only. Their chinese food taste nicer….. Out total bill came up to be RM80+ (with drinks). Quite fair lor…each person average less than RM20.

After our dinner; I suggested for 2nd round – ice cream as dessert over in A&W. The place where we able to makan cheap ice creams. Unfortunately, they no longer serves various types of ice creams anymore 😦

Therefore we were restricted to few types only…..*sigh*

I ordered the ‘chocolate ice cream’

with mom, niece, sis & bro

Hubby & I

After all the makan & food, we return home. My mom surprised me with a cheese cake which she made it the day before. Wahhh….I’m so happy & touched.Thank you mummy…thank you everyone!!  😉

Selamat Berpuasa

Leave a comment

Puasa or fasting has began 2 weeks;  just before the actual day of Hari Raya which falls on 10th September 2010. It is compulsory for the Muslims to fast for a month. During the entire fasting month you can get assorted Malay delicacies sold in Pasar Ramadan. Example; cooked dishes, wide range of kuih muih, noodles and assorted rice. For those who are on business, they will normally set up their stalls by 4pm and closes at ‘waktu berbuka puasa’; about 7pm.

As for me, I do look forward to join in the fun on the pasar ramadhan. Because I can get huge range of food under 1 roof. 😉

Here are the food I managed to try.

roti jala

ikan bakar

murtabak

cakes

ikan bakar bercili

kuey teow goreng

Otak-Otak

kerang bercili

popiah goreng bercili

ayam percik (Malay style BBQ Chicken)

siput sedut / balitong

I wish all my fellow Muslim friends, SELAMAT BERPUASA!!  🙂

CANTON-I of Sunway Pyramid

2 Comments

We were at Sunway Pyramid on Sunday for a family weekend shopping spree.

Then, we decided to have our lunch in CANTON-I because I misses their porridge very much! CANTON-I serves Hong Kong cuisines. (Of course its not so pure as in Hong Kong lorr..). We ordered individual meal instead of set. Upon ordering each of us punya food….the captain whom took down our order kept insist us to order the ‘roast goose’. Therefore we ordered for quarter size. And its not cheap ler….quarter size already RM48, if request for thigh side additional of RM8.  @_@ Moreover she kept insist us to get half bird.(which will be RM88)

when it comes to Chinese cuisine; a pair of chopstick is a must.

sea coconut + longan drink

fried carrot cake (lo pak kou) – NICE

signature egg tarts – freshly bake & yummy!

char siew rice (bbq pork rice)

5 combination rice (roast pork, roast chicken, braised egg, braised beancurd, sausage) – this is good!

century egg with shredded meat porridge – my favorite!!

the porridge is very smooth.

this is the roast goose that I mentioned above. Taste OK. The skin is crispy.

sis enjoying the meal

mum enjoyed her meal too….while brother is duno talking to whom =p

Mel had a satisfying meal too….with a big damaged on the wallet 😦

Everyone was so kenyang. Shopped in the mall to sort of exercise after the meal ^_^

Lunch at Boston又一城

Leave a comment

The usual Saturday; as we will normally dine out. Because my mom will not cook on Saturdays. It was 2 weeks back; brother’s (Marcus) first week in college & returned home on weekends. Marcus suggested to lunch at Jusco Seremban 2.

Mel: What to eat over there ler??

Marcus : Today eat from Boston又一城 lor.

Mel : Ohhh…ok lar…can oso.

Actually this wasn’t my first time dining there; just that its my first time blogging it with photos as well. Hope to share with the viewers also ma…. *wink*


Sis’s order – Spicy Vegetable Rice

Its tasty. But sis claimed its a lil dry. They should have include a small bowl of soup perhaps.


Spicy House Noodles

I like this noodles. I ordered for ‘kuey teow’. The soup is abit spicy with assorted fish cakes, chicken meat, bean sprout.



Kai Si Hor Fun (Kuey Teow with Shredded Chicken)

If you like something soupy & clear….this would be the best choice!

The soup is very tasty & not too oily.


wat tan hor

This is equally good. The gravy ain’t too thick nor watery. Just fine enough.


must not miss out the flaming hot ‘cili padi’

Everyone’s favorite Crabs @ Restoran Sin Yit Sing, Seremban

1 Comment

Ashley & Wanyi really love the ‘siew hai’ or ‘marmite grilled crabs’ here. Especially Ashley.  After the fruitful day; its time for dinner.

Awww…that was fast!!  We reached the restaurant at around 6.40pm. It was already 50% of customers dining there. Wow…so early la those people…

We made our order while waiting for Alex to join us at around 7.10pm. We ordered simple dishes to eat with rice. Because our main motive was to eat crabs! Therefore we only ordered; 1 stir-fry vege(yau mak), minced pork japanese tofu , 1 coconut chicken soup & 1 KG marmite grilled crabs.

this soup is real tasty. boiled with some light herbs & chicken meat



the stir-fry vege


minced pork cooked with japanese tofu – we felt that its a lil too salty


dipping sauce for the crabs


1 KG of marmite grilled crabs with alot of crabs roe price at RM55/kg.

1 kg approximately 2-3 crabs depending on the size.


this restaurant is famous for this marmite grilled crab


check out the crab roe


Ahaa…finally there’s someone(Alex) to take a picture of 3 of us – take 1


take 2

Dinner has come to an end…. it was already 8.30pm. Without even realizing the time. Sent A&W to the train station and there goes the whole day….  😀

Cendol at “Haji Shariff”

Leave a comment

Another round of food…..  The “lou shu fun” has occupied 70% of our stomach I guessed. Still got some space allowable for cendol right??

You see…..can’t deny that Alex is referring me as a “great eater” now….Awwww…only applicable on weekends lar; my dear…..  @_@

How can you ever resist a cool ice shredded drink on these sunny days.

They have assorted cendol & ABC served here. Price from RM1.50. I only can remember the ‘cendol kacang merah, cendol jagung, bandung cendol’, & duno what already….


check out the red beans


stir it well. because the fragrant gula melaka is beneath the bowl


rojak without the noodles.

(mixture of sliced cucumber, tauhu, kuih udang, bean sprout, an egg with the thick sauce)

“YI POH” Lou Shu Fun & “SIEW PAU”

1 Comment

After I fetched Ashley & Wanyi from the train station; I drove them here:-

“Restoran Yi Poh” for the famous ‘lou shu fun’. We ordered 2 big bowls of noodles to be shared among the 3 of us. Why sharing?? Because I told them after the noodles; we gotto head over for cendol & rojak. Besides lou shu fun, the restaurant has other type of noodles & side orders as well. (ps: the drinks are lousy.unless you order the canned drinks).


Its the konlou lou shu fun with minced pork & char siew(bbq pork)


mix it well




you need to add these chilies into the noodles for the extra ‘kick’



ok ok….don’t gaduh yea…everyone has the same portion :-p

After the ‘lou shu fun’; we went over to the ‘seremban siew pau’ which is located just opposite this restaurant.


the name of the shop



assorted bakery


freshly bake siew pau



Wanyi’s purchase.

Ashley claimed that the siew pau from “Empayer Siew Pau” is more nicer. However Wanyi’s family felt that the one from here is nice. Therefore; I think it depends on individual’s preference.


Ahaaa….this is nice. Wanyi finished the whole pack  😀

Lunch at FULLHOUSE

Leave a comment

Before our house hunting in USJ on Sunday; I’ve managed to pujuk Alex to bring me to FULLHOUSE for lunch. The full name of it; is Fullhouse Lifestyle Store & Cafe. I’ve kept receiving comments like; the place is very nice, good ambiance, you can take alot of nice photos, price is fair, food is good too! How could you resist when you received so many good feedbacks on this place. There are a few branch in KL. The one I went is located in Sunway Pyramid. Kinda small. I was told that the one located in Jalan Yap Kwan Seng is much nicer. Better ambiance.


welcome…welcome…


browse through the lovely menu.

The menu is so cute. Really look like a children’s story book. We picked the set lunch. Comes in a set which includes a main dish, a mushroom soup, a glass of ice lemon tea & 1 small dessert.


the ice lemon tea. so big glass!!


the creamy mushroom soup. with some almond flakes sprinkled on it.


Alex enjoying the creamy mushroom soup



Alex’s choice. Chicken Ham & Mushroom Spaghetti. – yummy!!


Mel’s choice. Grilled chicken thighs in black pepper sauce.

The mashed potato is very smooth & nice. While the chicken meat is tender, goes well with the thick black pepper sauce.


the dessert. mini size cakes. fluffy….


Mel’s additional order. THE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE.

Comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Too bad the ice cream melts so fast.

A MUST HAVE DESSERT!! You can taste the rich chocolate & walnuts on every bite.

Most important that its not too dry & hard.


check out the thick layer of chocolate  & rich walnuts.

Our total bill came up to be RM48

Took some photos before & after the meal.

Hokkien Mee at ‘Restoran Mei Yen’

4 Comments

Sent my brother back to his college on Sunday.

We decided to have our dinner near Taman Paramount. Dad told us there’s a popular & nice hokkien mee in that area. Therefore we decided to try, since mom loves hokkien mee alot. But because hokkien mee is very high in cholesterol; she seldom takes it now.

It was around 7pm. The restaurant was about 3/4 occupied with customers. Besides hokkien mee, there’s also ‘loh mee’, khau yuk mee hoon, wat tan hor, stir fry vege, LALAs, and Ohh Chien. By 8pm; more and more customers come in…and FULLed by then.

We ordered hokkien mee, khau yuk mee hoon, yau mak, Ohh Chien(oyster) & siong tong LaLa (LaLa in soup).

hokkien mee’s best companion. SAMBAL BELACAN… must have!

hokkien mee for 2 eaters

yum yum…. the noodles is wet enough & tasty. what’s inside? lard, sotong & choy sum

However Alex & Mom prefers the one from “Petaling Street”. Probably they prefered it to be dryer I guess. :-p

‘khau yuk mee hoon’…I like this very much actually. Its very tasty & not too dry.

yau mak

‘siong tong LALA’ (LALA in soup).


I like this soup very much too! Its best served on rainy days. The soup is warm, a lil taste of white wine, minced ginger & sprinkles of coriander leaves. Nevertheless, the clams size are acceptable too….aren’t those tiny little ones~~~

“Ohh Chien” (fried oysters in egg)

This is nice though. At least you can find the oysters easily….Don’t need to do any treasure hunt on it…You get what I meant? Moreover its not starchy. This plate cost RM8.

check out the oyster.

Chili Pan Mee @ Super Kitchen

1 Comment

I have been to longing to try this chili pan mee ever since I got tempted through the food program shown on television. But each time also couldn’t find a chance to get there. Finally; tried it on last 2 weekend. I was told that there are a few branch at different areas; Kuala Lumpur & SS2. The one I’m trying here is located in Taipan, USJ. (same row as CIMB Bank).

The business is doing good! By 8pm; you can see that the restaurant is already full.

Other than the famous chili pan mee; they also have all sorts of pan mee (dry version lar, soup version lar..) and other side orders as well.

the menu



herbal drink

‘kat jai suen mui’


the chili flakes



the ordinary pan mee(soup version) – NOT SO GOOD

ta dah!! the chili pan mee. comes with a bowl of soup



how you shall eat:-  if you can tahan spicy; add about 4 small spoons of chili flakes into the noodles. Break the egg yolk(the egg yolk is not 100% cooked), mix it well with the chili flakes, the noodles, the minced meat, the fried anchovies. Make sure the yolk is well coated on the noodles before consume.


this is the look of the noodles after stirring it all. If you feel that the noodles is too dry; you may add some soup. But to me its just fine; not too dry though.

I like it very much. Will find chance to eat again. 🙂


FOOD = 4/5

ENVIRONMENT = 4/5

SERVICE = 4/5

PRICE = I would say RM5.50 is abit expensive for a bowl of pan mee. But thats the standard of living in KL right? :-p
