:+: Foochow Breakfast :+:

Last time I used to go to this coffeeshop for breakfast every Sunday with my family. They serve Foochow food, Pork Leg Rice and Bak Kut Teh. Now, we rarely go there anymore because the Pork Leg Rice/Bak Kut Teh tauke moved to a new place. His Pork Leg Rice and Bak Kut Teh is very nice. My dad loves his pork leg very much, I like his Bak Kut Teh very very much. This tauke moved to his own shop. The kopitiam is next to the MAS building, the same block as Junction Corner.

Soon, Mr. Pork Leg Rice ex-shop evolve from some chinese name coffeeshop to Grandma Klang. Not far from here, there are new shoplots near the appartment. There is a shop called Madam Tang. For those of you who have been to KL or is living in KL, you would know of a popular dining area called Madam Kwan. Madam Kwan? Madam Tang? Madam Grandma Kwan-Tang? Hmm.. Just coincidence or double coincidence. Not like I'm saying they're copying names and all.. but they should try something more likely not coincidence to some people like me. Probably, Ah Ma Kwan or Tang Ah So or something. Just Kidding..

Grandma Klang specialized in Bak Kut Teh as shown:

I specially love their 'Chow Chai Hung Ngan' (in foochow) [Fried preserved vege with big bee hoon]. Simply the best~
Satisfaction: Yes

Look at that little boy. You can know how nice the Kam Pua Mee by the look on his face.
Satisfaction: Yes

Mee Sua [so called long life noodles. Usually we eat it during someone's birthday].
Satisfaction: No Idea

For some Foochow cuisine, I would like to introduce another place that serve great foochow food. It's somewhere in Ang Cheng Ho area called Happy Cafe (I think..) The Chow Chai Hung Ngan (soup) is the best! Very the ho liak (delicious).

:+: "BIGGEST" Beef Balls :+:

Always always always ask for what and how the food looks like and most importantly the size and quantity before confirming your order!

We had lunch over at Lam's Place. They have new items in the menu. So Lionel was interested in the Fried Beef Balls. We asked on how it's done. We were told that the beef balls would be deep fried. So ok..

This is the result of Fried Beef Balls:

Our lunchie: (Anti Clockwise)Raw Beef Meat, Chilli sauce, Fried Beef Balls, Rice

12 mini beef balls for 5 freaking bucks


It's so small that it's the same size of the freaking soya bean card!

They should change the name to Fried Small Beef Balls. At least Lionel won't be so disappointed and I'll won't be laughing my head off.

:+: New Year's Eve's Eve :+:

A lil celebration for the coming New Year over at my aunty's house.

After the superb dinner, we had some wine and cakes from Coffeebean. We got both Tiramisu and Chocolate Cheese cakes.

I don't like the Tiramisu at all. It's just thick layers of cakes and small amount of cream cheese which tastes like orange. yerkkkzz..

At least the Chocolate Cheese cake saves the night from the Tiramisu NIGHTMARE.. It's very rich in its chocolatey and it's cheeseyness = YUMMY! Each mouth of this just easily dance around in your mouth. It's sooo smooth and creamy. Just the perfect types of cheese cake i Loved.

P/S: I will never get Tiramisu from Coffeebean ever again. =/

:+: Naruwan Special :+:

What a special day...

It's just one of those days I get to sit in Angel's ride. ~^.^~

Met up with ahGe and Lionel at RH Plaza. We decided to have lunch at Naruwan Special.

Naruwan Special is one of the sorta standard cafe shop. The price for their food and drinks are average cafe price.

ahGe's Ham Fried Rice

Angel's Crab Fried Rice

The Fried Rice is very nice. In foochow, we normally say 'cha eh kau', meaning that it's fried good enough with the right fire. =/ Doesn't sound right. What I'm trying to say is.. err.. It's delicious. =) My 'philisophy' of a good fried rice : "The eggs should be cooked not wet and raw plus, the rice is not 'over-fried', no burnt smell from the wok, distributes the salt and pepper evenly without having one part of the rice tasting F. salty, not too much vege and meat; rice is the main character here, and definitely no freaking Ajinamoto!! So artificial. Original taste is very nice and fresh."

Lionel's Butter Chicken Rice

Jit's Sweet and Sour Fish Rice

My 'Ma Lak Mien' / Spicy Sauce Noodles

ahGe ordered 'Wuo Tieh' / Dumplings

I didn't finished my noodles. See how much OIL in there.
Satisfaction: Fail

::+:: Merry Xmas ::+::

Merry Christmas ya'all....
