Wongkok Char Chan Teng @ City Square

I'm pretty sure this restaurant need no advertisement from me. It is reputable enough to have tonnes of review out there. But I would still want to jot this place down coz i was there with my Q Mo...

We had our dinner there sometime in December. This restaurant is not located in CS, in the sense not within your vision in the building but you have to extend your walk to the extended complex, Inner City. I presume this restaurants aim for customer who work in the office building. What attracted me there was the variety of food they offer - from chinese fried rice to western chicken chop. Of course their drinks are also unique with Gu Tian Le in the menu!

Enough said... pictures~~

Hong Kong Style rice with fried chicken cube in pineapple sauce

Q mo ordered spicy noodle
Thick Peanut Butter Toast

Hot tiramisu and cold Si mut milk tea

We spent bout RM40 on this meal. Quite filling though - that's why I think this restaurant is worth the visit if you're at shopping malls. Do take note that the portions of their servings are quite huge, unless you're super hungry, do not attempt a plate of fried rice on your own!

Bak Kut Teh @ Jalan Lumba Kuda

I ain't sure if the location of this shop is Jalan Lumba Kuda, but you can get to this shop from Jalan Lumba Kuda. The name of this shop is: Mei Hua, if you are also an avid food lover, this BKT is just beside Botak Asam Fish. Does the name rings any bell??? Another easier way to describe this BKT is this shop is within your vision when you drive from JB to Singapore. You can see this shop behind the fences dividing the causeway and JB town.

The signboard

So, what's so special about this Bak kut teh... That day, when Q mo and me went there, we waited 45 minutes for the food to be served. Why so long, you would ask? That's coz the Bak Kut teh is cooked by charcoal. Even the rice is also cooked by charcoal. Not to mention the hot water in that little black kettle. But what can i say? It's worth the waiting after all. The soup is thick, smell of the ingredients, yet simple. Simple in the sense there is only Bak Kut (Pork Ribs) in the soup - with no other ingredients like meatball, pork intenstine, vege, etc.

Price wise... as you know, BKT by itself is already not a cheap food. So i would say, this BKT here is worth the price you're paying. Find a day and try it out yourself if you think the picture does not convince you on the taste.

Papa Chop Mama Grill - Taman Universiti

Antoher western food outlet I would like to share. I went there few months back - here are some pics on the food we ordered;

Q mo ordered Chicken Chop + fried bread with sausage

I ordered fish n chips

The big glass of juice over there is carrot milk without sugar - it's really tasty, not to mention with a reasonable price tag.

This shop's location is not quite strategic, that's most probably why they are still serving at such large portion at a reasonable price. However, I find that their menu is a little bit old, the papers despite laminated, still look fragile. Their service is also not of 5 Star services - what can you expect with the price you pay. So it's actually fair that we get what we pay.

This meal cost us bout RM40. Cheap, isn't it? So if you're craving for western food but not willing to let it burn your pocket, Papa Chop Mama Grill is the right place to be at!

Trip to Seoul - Day 1

This time, Nation FoodBlog owner has decided to go international... She has brought her taste buds to Seoul, South Korea.


Basically, this trip isn't really a food trip, but rather a sight-seeing trip with lotsa food destination to go to. I wouldn't want to come back without any food updates for food lovers our there. So, day 1, we reached quite late and all shops at airport are closed. Luckily we ate a lot before we came to Korea. Took the AREX, then the Subway to Hongik University station coz our guesthouse is there - Grape Garden House.


After settling our luggages, we done some refreshing in the toilet and off we go. At 12am, about 4-5 degrees outside we went to hunt for our 1st food haven - the Korean BBQ at Hongik area. FYI, Hongik is one of the few happening place in Seoul, there are lotsa youngsters there and two rows of BBQ restaurant for you to choose from. I've chosen this store: Hongik Sutbul Galbi, Butcher Cut Korean BBQ








This shop is easily accessible. Take the subway Line 2 (Green), stop at Hongik University Station (aka Hongdae). Take Exit 4, turn right and walk straight. You will see Family Mart on your right. Turn left and look out for this shop on your right. It's the corner lot so you won't miss it. You will also see a lot of BBQ shop along the street. No harm trying them too ^^

Note of advise, If you're a Muslim don't bother going to this shop. It's Non-Halal :(

Char Kuey @ Pontian

Another Char Kuey related post. Seems like I love to eat Char Kuey, but that's not the truth, my mum love it so i'm only tasting them for her and I'll buy the good ones for her...

This time, this Char Kuey is at Pontian. It's located at a back alley but it is a building on its own. I'll get the exact address the next time i go :P


Previously, the Lim Kee Char Kuey was of salty genre but this Char Kuey is sweet.. if you're someone who's into sweet stuffs, then this Char Kuey is definitely your cup of tea.

There are also other stuffs there, fried oyster but i was too full to try that, next time mayb.

Intermediate

Just wanna share something other than food.. but quite related to it as Stich drawn by me is drinking a glass of Soda!

That night, we wanted to grab something light and we happen to be at Mount Austin, so Q mo and me took a spin and saw this cafe selling Japanese Light Bite. If not mistaken, it's called the Wafu Cafe, right in front of Sunway College. I suspect it's a branch from an ala-Japanese Restaurant at Pelangi. Well, the food there has lesser choices than what the main branch offers but it was well-to-do. We had Japanese Curry + soda and it costs RM20. Not bad but not too good either to deserve a post here :P

Char Kuey @ Kuching

Another food to recommend if you ever go to Kuching is the Char Kuey at a hawker center. It is located near town, behind the streets which has biscuit shops and cafes. You can see a cat statue before entering the road from town. I'll get the location uploaded ASAP.

There're few stalls here, majority of them sells local food, Tomato Mee, Char Kuey, Kong Piah, Sotong Kangkung, Belacan Mee and of course their own dessert. One stall which made me go there everytime i go to Kuching is this Char Kuey stall, Lim Kee. The Char Kuey is more of the salty kind than sweet. It's also cheap.. what i can say is it's really value for money. However, please be patient as the stall tender are of two elderly, they only hire 1 young lad to serve the food and collect the plates. Afterall, good food are worth the wait. :)

There's also dessert stall at this hawker center. The two bowls of dessert shown on the pics are Mentahon and White Lady. Both are special and can only be found at Kuching - unless if you know where else I can find them. I would highly recommend them to those who enjoys snacking during tea break!
