Restoran Choy Ki @ Jalan Rahang, Seremban: Best 'Kolo'/ 'Kon Lo' Mee, Plus 'Siew Yuk'/ Roasted Pork...And It's Not Even In Sarawak:)

More good...nope, great Seremban foods on the way. I was a little nostalgic these few days. Anyway, all these makan place are well known by Seremban-ians and need no further introductions to them.

'Kolo'/ 'Kon lo' mee, plus 'siew yuk'/ roasted pork (RM4.50), yummy!!! You wish it's in KL/ PJ or Ipoh or Penang, right? Nope, it's in Seremban, hehe:)

I'm writing this to let my KL/ PJ and friends from other states know that there are many great foods available in Seremban. So, between your travel to Ipoh, KL/ PJ or Melacca, do stop by at my hometown for these great foods, okay?:)

Tow Kee Hakka Mee, Seremban: Best Hakka Mee In Town...A Must Try In Seremban!

I'd seen people in KL/ PJ driving for an hour or so to reach their makan place in and around KL/ PJ (traffic jam!!). I'd recommend you to just driving down to Seremban, which takes only 45 minutes, to try some great food here instead! You won't regret it for sure:)

Hakka mee, plus loh shu fen (RM4 big, RM3.70 medium, RM3.30 small)

Let's just get straight to the point here. The best Hakka mee is undoubtedly Tow Kee Hakka Mee in Seremban. I'd been eating here for so many years already and the taste remained authentic, memorable and amazingly delicious.

Wedding Chapter, closed: Thank you, thank you!!!:)

It'd been very hectic for the past few months. I was busy preparing for my wedding. For someone who vowed not to follow the complicated traditional wedding and insist on a 'simple' wedding, I didn't manage to do that:)

Community Chest & You. Donations of groceries will go to shelter home, Rumah Agethian Shelter.

Somehow, I ended up doing most (if not all) that a traditional wedding should be. I'm proud to say that I went through almost all the 'compulsary' wedding thingy like parents-parents discussion, presentation of dowry and presents, tea ceremony, wedding receptions and of course, honeymoon too! I'm glad I did:)

Final Day Breakfast @ Feast Village, Pangkor Laut Resort: Best Buffet Breakfast???

Okay, it was time to go back now. It's the third and last day in Pangkor Laut Resort. They didn't allow me to extend my check out time, so I booked the 12pm motorboat to go back to Lumut. 

Feast Village @ Pangkor Laut Resort.

We arrived a little early to Feast Village as compared to yesterday and promptly chose a table in the middle of the restaurant, plus under the fan:)

View from my seat in the middle of the restaurant

Then, we start venturing to every food stations in Feast Village. Let me show you a few here:)

Porridge, no improvement at all. I hope with this blog entry, they'll do something with this food.

Yesterday, it was lousy dim sum. Today, it was lousy chee cheong fun. I think they should just close down this food section because they're giving Chinese food a bad name.

Dinner @ Uncle Lim's Kitchen: Finally, Pangkor Laut Resort: Best Chinese Cuisine?

After the disappointing lunch at Chapman's bar @ Emerald Bay, Pangkor Laut Resort, J and I continued with out sight seeing and photo taking session. I love the calmness here at Pangkor Laut Resort. Everything seemed to be passing so slowly. 

Dinner @ Uncle Lim's Kitchen

It makes you ponder about life and what I''m trying to achieve. But the most important is of course to spend quality time with my love one. J and I had been going through so much for the past few months planning for the whole marriage thingy. There were so much preparations and I'm glad all went on smoothly and as planned. Save to say that we even had a few surprises, one of being able to even eked out a decent surplus for our wedding, thanks to generosity of all who attended our wedding and contributed selflessly to us.

Another view of the restaurant. The rock here...what does it mean? I was going with the idea that this rock represent Pangkor Laut Resort but J was saying that these rocks were part of the rock that the restaurant was built on top of. Hm..seemed like she's right:). I'm not sure why this restaurant and most other restaurants in Pangkor Laut Resort were also so dark, just like having dinner in a bat cave!:)

Lunch @ Chapman's Bar, Emerald Bay, Pangkor Laut Resort: Lunch By The Beach:)

So, after a heavy breakfast, both J and I went expending all the calories gained. We walked around Pangkor Laut Resort and took lots and lots of photos (bringing the tripod was the best decision we made!). To travel to the other side of the island, we chose to go by 4WD because the roads were just too steep and narrow.

Lunch @ Chapman's bar, by the seaside:)

The ceiling was high and the restaurant was airy with sea breeze occasionally felt caressing the face:)

We just waited less than 5 minutes at the waiting point and then a 4WD came to pick us up and drove us to the other side of the island, the Emerald Bay, which took less than 3 minutes. We actually arrived here yesterday evening to see the sunset but wasn't able to see it because the view was blocked by trees.

Breakfast @ Feast Village, Pangkor Laut Resort: Diverse Varieties Of Wholesome Breakfast!

Alright, I chose to put the past/ yesterday behind me. Yesterday meals was rather bad and didn't even meet my bare minimum expectation. Anyhow, I head on to breakfast again on day two, after my morning bath tub dips, of course:)

Arrived at the same venue as yesterday's dinner @ Feast Village, Pangkor Laut Resort for breakfast, buffet style. Here are some foods I'd tried on my first buffet breakfast, just a short and brief write-ups. Enjoy!

Hash brown and sausage with cheese fillings. Hash brown was crispy and not too oily while the sausage was well-cooked with the cheese melted within. Nice.

This porridge was totally out, akin mixing rice with water and some small shredded pieces of crab meats. Tasteless.

Dinner @ Feast Village, Pangkor Laut Resort: Hoping For Great Dinner But Got Discriminated And Disappointed Instead!

After the walkabout around Pangkor Laut Resort, we went back for another dip at our bath tub (J and I would be dipping at out bath tub for another 6-7 times throughout our 3D2N stay here, hehe). After that, we put on our best attire to have our dinner at Feast Village @ Pangkor Laut Resort.

Feast Village @ Pangkor Laut Resort

Upon arrival to the Feast Village, we were directed to our table, which was facing the beach and at the side of the restaurant. J was okay with if but I can't stand eating in the near total darkness (I couldn't take nice photos of my foods also, right?). So, I requested to change table to a brighter one and also if possible, under the fan (there was one unoccupied table fitting my descriptions). I was ignored by the waiter/ waitress...so I changed table myself (5-star, konon! please note, PLR, if you're reading this!)

One page menu only for Chinese while the foreign tourists getting the whole menu. Gosh, I felt so discriminated! FYI, I ended ordering their 'Nasi Hidangan Satu & Dua', both RM85++ and I never get to see their full menu, sigh!

Pangkor Laut Resort: Photos From All Over Pangkor Laut Resort, Just A Few (This Is A Food Blog, Okay, Hehe)

After lunch at Royal Bay Beach Club, both J and I went back to our room, unpacked and took a dip at the bath tub, plus relaxing salts and body wash (producing so much bubbles/ foam), hehe. It was so comfortable and relaxing. We were fully energized back in no time:).

Walking around Pangkor Laut Resort:)

The koi pond in front of the Pavarotti suites area.

My Room/ Villa @ Pangkor Laut Resort: Luxury Redefined!

After having lunch at Royal Bay Beach Resort @ Pangkor Laut Resort, we were told that our room was ready (finally!). I was just a short walking distance and our room was on the 1st floor, great!

My room is not here. Seen here is the Pavarotti suite, nice huh!:)

The villa that we're staying is on the 1st floor, with a good view of the beach, the infinity pool and also the Royal Bay Beach club.

Entering the room...

This is what you'll see when the door to my room is open, lovely:)

Lunch @ Royal Bay Beach Club, Pangkor Laut Resort: High Expectation?

There are two restaurants open for lunch at Pangkor Laut Resort and we can choose either to eat at Royal Bay Beach Club or at Chapman's Bar. Since Royal Bay Beach Club is nearer to our villa, we chose to have our lunch here and save Chapman's Bar for lunch the next day.

Come join me for lunch:)

Pangkor Laut Resort: Arrivals

I'd booked a 3D2N stay at Pangkor Laut Resort for my honeymoon, yay! If you're Malaysian, do call them up personally and asked for holiday package for Malaysian, which includes both accommodation and meals throughout your stay here, at an attractive price.

Arrival at Pangkor Laut Resort within 30 minutes from Lumut, thanks to their high speed motorboat. The sky looked gloomy, right? Luckily, this photo was taken on the day we were heading back home, luckily:) The weather during our visit to Pangkor Laut Resort: nice and sunny during the day and raining during the night, so it was great!:)

Finally, the long-awaited day arrived and both J and I drove about 80km away from Ipoh town to Lumut. Upon arriving there, you can actually check-in at Pangkor Laut Resort's office at the mainland. All your bags/ luggage can be placed in their office and will be delivered straight to your room (no more hassle carrying luggage around).

O'Briens Irish Sandwich Cafe @ 1 Utama: Bread Healthier Than Rice? Myth Or Facts???

How many of you will eat bread for lunch or dinner? Not many, huh. Actually, I do have a friend who eats breads every single day for lunch. He claimed that rice wasn't a healthy option. Hence, I went to do some checking regarding their nutritional values, focusing on both calories and more importantly, fiber content.

 Myth or Facts?

Village Park Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng @ Damansara Uptown: Best-est & Most Excellent Nasi Lemak AYAM GORENG

Let me introduce today the most 'excellent' nasi lemak I'd eaten so far and it's no other than Village Park Nasi Lemak @ Damansara Uptown, yay!

Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng (RM9)

To be specific, it's their nasi lemak ayam goreng that's 'excellent'. And to be even more specific, their ayam goreng/ fried chicken is most 'excellent'. Unfortunately, the same can't be said to the other dishes and foods there...mediocre taste only.

(EXPIRED) One Day Promotion Only @ Burger King!!! Spicy Chick 'N' Crisp For Only RM1! RM1! RM1!

Attention to all...a great promotion just for today only:
RM1 for Burger King's Spicy Chick 'N' Crisp burger with any medium carbonated drink purchased!!

Restoran Vishal Food & Catering's Banana Leaf Rice: 'Mess' Dining For My Banana Leaf Rice:)

I missed my Larut Lane banana leaf rice (Read: My Ultimate Food Discovery In Penang, My Favorite!: Famous Banana Leaf Rice @ Lumut Lane, Georgetown Penang) in Penang a lot!! I was eating there at least once a week (usually more), before I was transferred to Petaling Jaya. So far, I'd been to a few banana leaf rice stalls/ restaurants here in PJ and KL...some were nice, some wasn't.

Chao Su Fen (Tapioca Noodle) @ Old Klang Road, KL: One Of The Kind, Plus Will Bring Back Memories For Your Grandparents Too:)

It's always great to have local people sharing great local foods with me. 

When I was in Penang, N was my food guide (and partner-in-food too, hehe) to all great foods in Penang. Now that I'm based in PJ/ KL, the table changed completely for me because, I'm the newbie here and I have to start all over again from the bottom. Luckily, I'm back into contact with my good-est university friend, Jb who's generous enough to impart to me his vast knowledge on great local foods here, yay!

Chao Su Fen (Tapioca Noodle) @ Old Klang Road, KL (RM7)

One of the food that Jb recommended to me will be reviewed here today and I took great length and great trouble to find this food. To be honest, I failed looking for this elusive food stall twice and it was third time lucky that I managed to find this food stall, tucked in between 2 food stalls and behind an old white wooden door.

Ninja Joe @ The Gardens, Midvalley, KL: Pork Burgers...Good? Great?

I was thrilled when I found that that there's a restaurant in The Gardens, Midvalley, KL selling PORK burgers! I'd eaten 'chu yuk si'/ pork floss burger, 'bak kua'/ dried bacon burger and bacon sandwich before and I love all of them. So, you can say that I have very high expectation before eating at Ninja Joe @ The Gardens, Midvalley, KL.

Ninja Joe @ The Gardens, Midvalley, KL. I love the catchphrase ' If you can't handle it, you're chicken':)

I went there with J, partly to make sure that my over-enthusiasm over the pork burger won't cloud my judgments. I don't want this food review to be biased and she'll make a good counterbalance because..J don't like foods at all, hehe. Hand in hand, we walked into Ninja Joe...bells ringing, birds singing (nope, that was all in my head, hehe).

Village Roast Duck @ Bangsar Village, KL: Tasteless, Kiamsap, Overpriced!

I went to Bangsar a few days ago to take another sneak peek at what our affluence Bangsar-ians eat. They never cease to amaze me...having 3 Starbucks outlets in Bangsar Village alone?! I guessed for Bangsar-ians, Starbucks is their McDonald:)


Village Roast Duck @ Bangsar Village

I did ate at Bangsar a few times (see below)

• Breakfast At Chawan, Bangsar: Food Sucks...But Good Coffee
• Breakfast @ Antipodean Cafe, Bangsar, KL: Good At Overpricing Foods, Best For Nothing!
• Banana Leaf Rice @ Sri Nirwana Maju, Bangsar, KL: Finally Found The Better/ ?Best Banana Leaf Rice In KL:)

El Toro Butchery & Grill @ Subang Avenue: Excellent Steak...Carnivorous Appetite, Satisfied!

Once awhile, I'll reward myself (for no reasons, hehe) with nice dinner. I could be eating in a nice restaurant, eating Western foods, buffets (hm, unlikely, I don't really like stuffing myself) or etc, etc.

Premium Grassfed Rib-Eye Steak @ El Toro Butchery & Grill

Gouda Stroopwafels Original: Small, Thin And Delicious Waffles:)

Okay, this is certainly not Malaysian food. So why is it featured here? Well, I just want to remember it. My boss bought it back for my colleagues and I upon coming back from overseas conference, sweet! Another boss of mine also bought chocolates for us but I forgotten to take photos of it. Here, I want to record my 'thank you' in my blog posting:)

Gouda Stroopwafels Original

I love it and I hope someday I can find it in Malaysia. I also hope all bosses who read this will buy something for their own employees. It really brighten up their days:)

Wendy's Mornin' Breakfast Melt Panini with Tuna...Worthy Challenger Of KFC & McDonald's Breakfast?

I was a little adventurous and unfaithful a few days ago. I cheated...my loyalty to KFC's and McD's breakies were...tested. Why?

Wendy's Mornin' Melt Panini with Tuna (RM6.35)

Armed with a coupon that I bought from Groupon (promotion: 2 for the price of 1), I strayed into Wendy's to try out their breakfast, Mornin' Melt Panini with Tuna (normal price RM 6.35/each). What's panini? It's just an Italian version of a toasted bread/ sandwich.

Swedish Meatballs @ Ikea Food Court: Beefy-licious!:)

This is one of the most unexpected place I'd been to find good food.Thanks to my sister, who's working in Mutiara Damansara, she brought me to one of the nicest food around here...and it didn't cost a bomb.

She brought me to eat dinner at a food court (what?!) inside Ikea, the heaven for furniture and home furnishing products, yay!:) At first, I was a bit hesitated because...the food is from a food court(!). However, as soon as I arrived there, my perception changed a bit when I saw the whole area filled with people...much more people than the ones shopping for new furnitures/ home furnishing products. Impressive, huh!

My Swedish meatball (RM5.30/ plate of 5 meatballs), plus fries, secret brown sauce and raspberry sauce.

The Smooth-est And Tender-est 'Ngau Yuk Hor'/ Beef Koay Teow In KL + My Favourite Too! @ Soo Kee Restaurant, Medan Imbi, KL

Memories flooding back when I ate here yesterday. This restaurant serves one of the best 'ngau yuk hor'/ beef koay teow that I'd ever tasted before. It had been years since I last ate here...still, it tasted just as great today!

Ngau yuk hor/ beef koay teow (RM10) @ Soo Kee Restaurant, Medan Imbi, KL

I can still remember my parents brought my sister and I to KL to 'jalan-jalan' when we were young. And before we leave KL at night, we would stop by at Soo Kee Restaurant for dinner. Ordering their 'ngau yuk hor'/ beef koay teow is a must.

Notable Mentions: Soto And Nasi Goreng Ayam @ Ujang Soto, Medan Selera Seksyen 11, Shah Alam

I'd go the distance if the food is great...or even if it's good only.

The next eating place that I want to introduce here might not be known to many and many might not even want to go there to eat because it's just a small stall.

Ujang Soto @ Medan Selera Seksyen 11, Shah Alam.

And that's why 'Tasty Or Not?' comes into the picture...to help small food stalls by featuring them and their foods here. However, I must warn that they're certainly going to be exposed to the same acerbic but truthful comments about their foods here.

Damansara Hokkien Mee @ Damansara Utama: Searching For The Best Hokkien Mee...'Where Art Thou?'

I always find it hard to food review Hokkien mee because I 'absolutely love' Hokkien mee. I don't think anyone can cook a Hokkien mee that I don't like and I don't think I can really talk bad about Hokkien mee, no matter how critical I am, hahaha. (Yes, I'm Hokkien, hehe)

Damansara Hokkien Mee @ Damansara Utama (took this photo instead of the normal restaurant signboard, hehe)

The next Hokkien mee stall that I'll be introducing here is no exception. The only different is whether they serve good or GREAT Hokkien mee.

Bijoux Cupcakes @ KLCC: I Never Like Cupcakes, But It's Bijoux Cupcake Wor...

I want to declare upfront my dislike of cupcakes...but I'll try to be impartial here.

Bijoux Food Company @ KLCC

Why do I 'not-like' cupcakes? People either make a proper cake or DON'T. Cupcakes are 'in between' these two, akin 'neither here nor there'. In fact, I don't even believe cupcakes are cake! Call it anything but a 'cake', it's deceiving! I never knew I can be so emotional about cup(others name)! Hahaha:)

You might be wondering how did I ended up with Bijoux cupcakes from KLCC then, right? So, how I got hold of these cupcakes?

Kushi Q @ Tropicana City Mall, PJ: Chicken Skewers a.k.a Sate, Avoid?

I went to Kushi Q @ Tropicana City Mall, PJ a few days ago to use one of my coupon that I'd purchased online. It seemed like a great offer (see below): 

50% Deal for Succulent Fusion Skewers (5 skewers) + 1 Complimentary Drink + Additional 15% off any Katsudon Set Purchase @ Kushi Q (Tropicana City Mall) for only RM5 instead of RM10

How was it?

Kushi Q @ Tropicana City Mall, PJ. Empty stall, red flag?

Foreign workers who don't understand you, yet confrontational plus very poor service...another red flag? Didn't happen to me but saw it happened to another customer. I don't dare to make a fuss after that, haha.

Singberry @ Ipoh Garden South, Ipoh: Everything Strawberry...Freshest!

Fancy eating strawberries for your breakfast...or dessert? If you happened to be in and around Ipoh, maybe you'll want to visit the next place that I'll be introducing to you. 

Everything strawberries @ Singberry, Ipoh Garden South, Ipoh

Their 'jiu pai' dish; Cocktail Strawberry (L) RM13.90, consist of strawberries, kiwis and sweet and sour plum. Everyone seemed to be ordering this dish. It's also available in small size, RM8.90 but the proprietress kept on telling me that the small size is too small (well, it won't actually hurt their profit margin by putting an extra 2 or 3 strawberries if she wanted to) for two people and suggested us to order the large size. Anyway. just to maintain good rapport, I followed her recommendation. She also recommended to us to mix the cocktail strawberry with kiwi fruits. Again, I followed her recommendation. How was it? Continue reading...

MUST Mention: Yee Fatt Curry Mee @ Ipoh: Best Dry Curry Noodle...My Second Best, Second Favorite Curry Mee!:)

Okay, this is the last of the three breakfast meals that I had for yesterday (yea, 3 meals for breakfast, hehe). You can read the other two entries here:

Dry curry mee and normal curry mee @ Yee Fatt, Ipoh

Breakfast 1: Notable Mention: Bidor's Soon Kee Chee Cheong Fun...Warming Up My Tummy Just Right!:)
Breakfast 2: Another Notable Mention: Kampar Char Koay Teow...Good But Not Great

Another Notable Mention: Kampar Char Koay Teow...Good But Not Great

Okay, this posting is the continuation of my breakfast trail yesterday morning. After I had my 'chee cheong fun'/ rice noodles at Bidor, I drove all the way until I reached Kampar.

Kampar char koay teow @ Medan Selera Kampar. The boss and his wife in action. The boss sitting down comfortably on a stool while frying koay teow.

Notable Mention: Bidor's Soon Kee Chee Cheong Fun...Warming Up My Tummy Just Right!:)

I drove back to Ipoh early this morning (from Petaling Jaya). I started my journey at 7am. As usual, whenever I drive back to Ipoh, I'll stop by many places along the way to eat/ try out their local foods. Today was no different.

Soon Kee's 'chee cheong fun'/ rice noodles @ Bidor.

My plan for today's breakfast...to eat 'lor mai kai'/ glutinous chicken rice at Sungkai, 'chee cheong fun'/ rice noodle at Bidor, 'char koay teow'/ fried kueh teow at Kampar and dry curry mee at Ipoh. Some of these foods were famous while others were...'undiscovered' yet, hehe. Hence, I think I ought to give those foods some exposure here.

Banana Leaf Rice @ Sri Nirwana Maju, Bangsar, KL: Finally Found The Better/ ?Best Banana Leaf Rice In KL:)

When my friend suggested to me to try out a famous banana leaf outlet in Bangsar, I already knew it'll be expensive. However, with months went by without being able to find any decent banana leaf rice in KL/ PJ, I was depraved, I was desperate.



Restoran Sri Nirwana Maju @ Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar Baru, KL

Teochew Stewed Duck @ Restaurant Kam Heong, PJ: Everything Stewed, Everything Healthy, Everything Nice...Recommended!

I went to Restaurant Kam Heong with J for our dinner the other day. J recommended this place, famous for their duck meat. I was a little hesitated in the beginning to eat duck meat so soon again after my recent duck rice at Seapark, PJ (Read: Best Duck Rice In KL And PJ Is In S.E.A Park, PJ? Err...Nope! Good But Not Great).

Dinner @ Restaurant Kam Heong, PJ...for just below RM20:)

Curry Mee @ Honda Showroom, Jalan Sungai Pinang, Penang: The Best Curry Mee In Penang? Yup!:)

My heart skips a beat...my heart skip a beat, when I was think about Penang breakfast just now, hehe:)

Curry Mee (RM3.50 only) @ Jalan Sungai Pinang (just in front of Honda Showroom), Penang

You just can't compare it with breakfast in KL or PJ, at least not at the moment (hopefully I'll uncover some nice breakfast spots here soon). To compare my breakfast this morning at Antipodean Cafe (Read: Breakfast @ Antipodean Cafe, Bangsar, KL: Good At Overpricing Foods, Best For Nothing!) with Penang breakfast will be too mean, especially after my not-so-nice review about it this morning.
