Chinese Box Meal

2008-09-30T23:47:00.002+08:00

Always see the Chinese Box meal in movies. Now I get to try it myself.

I ordered a medium size meal box. Consist of Fried rice, scrimps, chicken and vege rolls.

At least I can still have rice here in Esbjerg, Denmark. And it is cheaper than McDonald's

Hans & Grethe Creperie

2008-09-28T17:09:00.003+08:00

Yesterday I make a trip out to Fano, Denmark. After a long cycling (more than 2 hours) I stop for lunch at Hans & Grethe Creperie.

Creperie, is a pancake with icecream inside. They put toppings like chocolate, etc. Some even come with salad. I had one with chocolate topping.

Curry Fish Head, Gurney Penang

2008-05-11T22:41:00.003+08:00

We just came back from a trip up to Penang for a wedding dinner. Our local friend brought us to a Curry Fish Head restaurant at Gurney. It's easy to find, just refer to the address & map below.

For the curry fish head, the curry is nice and fragrant. The fish is moderate fresh. It would be great if they served with really fresh fish.

The deep fried sambal chicken goes along well with the chili. The meat is still very tender inside.

You can locate the shop easily at Gurney Road.

Bak Kut Teh and Chicken Wing

2008-04-26T13:52:00.006+08:00

Just had Bak Kut Teh at Taman Connaught. For those who don't like too thick soup, this is suitable. By no means it is mild. The best part is that this shop serve many different dishes (Bak Kut Teh (pork dishes), chicken, fresh fish, vegetables, etc.

I love their chicken wing. It is nicely marinated. It is deep fried, the skin is crispy while the meat inside is still juicy.

Didn't manage to get the name of the shop but you should be able to find it through the map here.

Restaurant De Maw (Review)

2008-04-06T00:42:00.008+08:00

The days follow with dinner at Restaurant De Maw. Today we had a bigger group of 12 people thus we can order a number of dishes.

As appetizer, they serve steam peanut which I like.

Then they also provide soup for us.

The wait for the main dish was very long. Slightly more than 1 hour. The place was full house but not the many number of tables. Still it took very long before the food is serve. So be prepared for that.

1st dish was herbal kampung (village) chicken. The soup was good. Some may complain that the chicken slice was small but that is expected for kampung chicken.

We had 2 type of vegetable and both are up to expectation.

The pork knucle was good. There is a good mixture of lean meat and (for those who love it) fatty skin part. There's some pork belly but we have to fight for it because just a small portion of them. This made dining even better.

The fish head was average. Some may prefer sea fish as less muddy smell.

The beancurd (tau fu) serve with dried chinese sausage (Lap Cheong) is good. The crispy small prawns made it even better.

Overall the food is good. If you can wait before the food it served, then can give this place a try. It definitely gave us a lot of time to catch up with each other.

Ah Soon Fish Head Mee (review)

2008-04-06T00:23:00.007+08:00

We start off our day with brunch (breakfast & lunch) at Ah Soon Fish Head Mee. For the record, there's only Fish Head soup, so for those who don't like Fish Head soup, can skip this place or give it a try. Who knows you will like Fish Head soup.

We had both clear soup and with milk.

This place is definitely one of the better Fish Head noodle.
Here the link of map to the place.

Thai Food in Phuket

2008-04-05T11:27:00.006+08:00

On my trip to Phuket recently, I manage to try out various Thai food.
First off, we went to a Thai restaurant at Patong area. The most call for Thai food is Tom Yam Koong (Prawn tom yam). We had that in almost every Thai meal.

Then we had the green curry chicken

This salad is something special. It's a mango salad with deep fried cat fish. I like the cat fish which goes well with the salad

The place I found cater more for tourist thus it's not spicy and the food is average.
Another place we stop by is Black Canyon Coffee. There's a few of this outlet right here in Malaysia which serve quite good Thai food.

This is glass noddle in clear vegetable soup. Don't be fool by the looks, the soup actually taste very good.

This is something light. Some pasta with meatball and vege soup.

I had fried noodle which actually does taste good.

To wash it all down with, can try to Black Canyon Coffee.

We went on a sailing trip. The trip itself is quite good with beautiful scenery. But the Thai food serve during lunch is great. A cook comes along in the sail boat and prepare fresh seafood. We just expected the tour to provide pack food. But the fresh and server hot food definitely a highlight for the trip. Sorry didn't have any pictures but just imagine good Tom Yam Koong, fresh big prawns and fresh crabs (although slightly small), all add up to a great meal.

Congee & Wantan Noodle in Hong Kong

2008-03-25T22:21:00.003+08:00

At HongKong, , Nathan Congee & Noodle is a local famous old brand.
The congee was so smooth, and kidney and liver were just nicely cooked, tender and juicy were the only words could described when they are in the mouth.

Just can't help but to have second order of wantan mee. Wantan noodle back in Malaysia has some spring onion, charsiu, and vege. The wantan mee here literally just has wantan and mee. Its taste is mild but fresh. noodle is crunchy, wantan (Guess what? 6 big one) skin was so smooth and juicy.

Last but least, 3 bowl of noodles and congee each, cost only HKD165.

Bon Appetite.

Chung Wah Restaurant

2008-02-25T21:42:00.006+08:00

Our friend Kevin is leaving for London soon. So he call us up for a dinner gathering at Gotong Jaya, Genting Highlands. First question was what's good over there? Lets just head out there to find out.

He introduces us to what he like best. Fresh big prawns with glass noodle. The soup is very tasty especially good for those who like prawns.

We had quite a few other dishes, mostly PORK. The intestine was quite good.

I like this crispy deep fried thin slices of meat. The other meat dishes and vegetable was quite good as well.

Overall was the trip worth while to go all the way up to Gotong Jaya. Definitely yes. The price was very reasonable and the food is great. We will definitely miss Kevin introduction to new food places for the next few years. Can't wait for him to show us the great food he will be having in London and around Europe.

Goreng Pisang....

This vegetarian restaurant is a cozy place to hang out for delicious snack.

Bundle banana with red bean paste, deep fried in dragon beard skin. When you chew on it, the crispy skin squeezes out the tender banana melted in delicious bean paste. It is a fabulous combination.

Sil Ro Am Korea Restaurant

2008-01-24T22:18:00.000+08:00

Our kakimakan group went all the way to Senawang for Korean Food. We were surprise to see quite a number of Korean restaurant around here. Sil Ro Am is managed by some Korean. The waitress spoke fluent Mandarin.

We get quite a big variety of side dishes. More than 10 type were served. I like the tauhu (bean curd) which goes well with the s

We ordered some meat for barbecue. They were nicely marinated and also the sauce to go with it was quite good. They serve quite a number of other Korean food. We had another dish, fried snow fish from Korea. This is only available during winter/cold season in Korea.

So was it worth going all the way to Senawang for Korean food? The food was good. The price is considered cheaper than in KL. And our makan group have fun time going places for food :)

Bar.B.Q Plaza

2008-01-19T17:26:00.000+08:00

As you enter Bar.B.Q Plaza, you will be greeted with Savadikap (welcome in Thai). Come to think of it, I remember seeing this franchise in one of the shopping center in Bangkok, Thailand. It seems that they have a large franchise in Thailand. Now there are quite a few in Malaysia. I tried it once at One Utama and yesterday at Sunway Piramid.

So what's for BBQ? And not forgetting mini steamboat also. For those who love beef or pork slice, you will enjoy this (not halal). I love the bacon. There are some seafood set and also vegetarian set. I had the pork set. It comes with pork slice (lots of it), bacon, squid, prawn, chicken and vegetables. Did I mention, you have to cook yourself.

The meat are not marinated. The want to preserve the fresh taste of the meat. I prefer to dip it into their sauce to cook it. And yes, their sauce is very nice with some chili, garlic and a squeeze of lime. And not forgetting the soup ala mini steamboat. I cook the vegetables in the soup. The steamboat section is a bit small though. The spoon provider couldn't really scoop up the soup.

For meat eater, you will like this. The vegetable goes well with the rice & meat.

Fish Fillet - Kedai Kopi Lucky

2008-01-12T22:21:00.000+08:00

We went to Kedai Kopi Lucky at Section 17 today. Alfred brought us there and introduce us one of their signature dish, Fish Fillet. What is interesting is that they debone a fresh fish. The flesh and the bones are serve as seperate dishes.

We ordered the fish flesh ala steam fillet top with ginger.

The bone is boil together with the vegetable soup. This makes it tastier.

The last dish we had was pork with salted fish.

The fish is prepared in quite a unique way. Looked for some tiny bones though.

Ah Sang Bak Kut Teh

2008-01-08T20:03:00.000+08:00

One the first day of this year, after an enjoyable new years eve at Alfred's place, we went for Ah Sang Bak Kut Teh. It was our first meal for year 2008.

I have always been a big fan for Bak Kut Teh and Ah Sang definitely is one of the better one around town.

For those who love more herbal taste, must definitely give this place a try. The only missing thing is the Yam rice.

Looking forward for more good food this year.

Cafe @ D Poolside

2007-03-13T19:28:00.000+08:00

After a long day at work, "tah pau" (take away food) is always the option. There is no other more convenient place to "tah pau" than at a food joint near or in your accommodation area. Cafe @ D Poolside is located at the poolside of Jalil Damai Apartment.

It provides convenience for residents here to dine in or pack home. It offer a variety of Malay food at an affordable price. Best of all, it provide delivery service for the residents.

I settle for a simple dinner today of Nasi Goreng Pattaya (Fried Rice wrap in egg).
