RM2 Sushi King Promotion on Kaiten Belt 2009 ~
Filed Under photo, food | 11 Comments
I suddenly thought of it early this October. It was suppose do be every Sept and March/April. But this year I didn’t hear of it. None. Have I missed it? Oh no… O.O
I have been religiously celebrating it for about 3 years already, twice a year. And I just couldn’t wait for it to come again.
And then I do what I do best, I googled : RM2 Sushi King Promotion Bonanza 2009 on Kaiten Belt. Yes, RM2 for a plate of sushi of rice based!
And ah, I found it! What a relief. I suppose they have postponed it to October instead of the usual September due to the fasting month for Muslim.
After a tipping of PinkCotton from her blog, I decided to get Sushi King membership for Year 2009 myself! Yay!
And do not miss great event of cheap sushi. I will pounce at those yummy unagi and prawns and let’s forget about cholesterol for a while. It will be a reason for us to meet up again, me & my girls. ^.^
The auspicious date is from 13 – 15 Oct 08 for West Malaysia and 20-23 Oct 08 for East Malaysia. Can’t wait!

Bibi Wok~
Filed Under food | 16 Comments
What do you do if you are going out with a friend and you so wanted to eat Thai Food. But your friend insists of having Japanese Teppayanki? No, you don't fight.
Instead, you can have the Japanese + Thai fusion food at Bibi Wok, at Bandar Puteri 1.
I went there a couple of months ago and was happy to see that they serve Thaipayanki at very reasonable price. I think the set lunch starts at RM9.90.
We ordered squid and prawn Thaipayanki and chicken and fish Thaipayanki set lunch. It comes with soup (which taste a little odd) and some fruits. They also serve a bowl of crackers which they charged at RM3 (I dislike restaurant serving appetizer which you never order but have to pay for it).
The squid, prawn and fish were rather nice and appetizing but the chicken wasn’t as good though. I would certainly go back if I am that area again. :)

The Chinese Wedding Dinner~
Filed Under food | 11 Comments
Chinese wedding is famous for extensive 8 or 10 course wedding dinner that was preparation was done months or even a year before the dinner.
A restaurant was picked much earlier by the family and the food were carefully chosen and picked. A list of guest is drawn, including the relatives, friends and colleagues and even associates. Invitations are sent out a couple of months before the dinner and it is crucial to response as they have to make reservation for the expensive dinner.
And it was a Chinese custom that if the dinner is stated to start at 7pm, digging the dinner at 8pm is actually quite early!
Albeit the much preparation, I still love wedding dinner for the variety of food, especially the usual first cold dish. Though I wasn’t a fan of the lack of punctual-ness by the Chinese which really a waste of time.
Nowadays, some youngsters are escaping the fuss of grand wedding dinner and instead opt for a simple family dinner. But I suppose the elderly still prefer have a traditional wedding dinner where they could formally proclaim the marriage of their children.
Here are some pictures I took during Yun’s wedding dinner. I only got to take those pictures as I was sitting with a table of friends. If there is any stranger within the same table, I suppose it wouldn’t be nice to take the pictures when everyone is waiting to dig in!
Cold dish, roasted piglet, steamed fish, shark fin soup, marmite-butter-prawns, mixed vegetables, pork pau and chocolate ice cream! Yummy!

What do I like about Puasa Month?
Filed Under food | 16 Comments
The only thing that I really like about fasting month for the Muslim is the Pasar Ramadhan! There are so many stalls with many different type of foods such as fried noodles, percik chicken, satay, variety of kueh, murtabak, drinks and others! Yum~
I noticed there is a Pasar Ramadhan nearby my office last Thursday but I didn’t have a chance to try them till today!
So I quickly leave office at 6.35pm, hoping that they haven’t sold out yet.
Finally decided to have a ayam percik and murtabak ayam for dinner. Only to realise that I had black pepper chicken chop rice for lunch! Ahh.. so much chicken today!
Anyway it was rather nice although quite sinful! ;)
P/S : Another thing I like about fasting month is right after that, 2 days of Hari Raya holiday!

Thai Specialty ~
Filed Under food | 29 Comments
For those who have been to Thailand, they know how tasty is this simple, exotic Thai food. But for those who have never been there or never tried it, they would look at it sceptically, what’s so special about it? It’s just mango and sticky rice.
Ahh.. my heart goes out for those who didn’t have a chance to try it yet! 
Many of my friends who have been to Thai boasted to me how nice and tasty it was. But I missed it when I was in Bangkok last year!!! Actually I didn’t know it was their specialty and so I only went for green curry and Tomyum Kung.
And so when there is this Thai fair in KL Central, I was elated and wanna try them out. The small stall was operated by original Thais! So, it is fairly authentic!!!
It was a very crowded stall especially during lunch and dinner time with long queue. Well, it didn’t disappoint us! The Tomyam kung was very flavourful and hot and the papaya salad Som Tam was appetizing!
The mango and sticky rice is just.. perfect! Yum~!

Finally I have perfected found the art of cooking the oat porridge that I dreaded but I have to eat. If you don’t know yet, oat is great food that fights cholesterol.

So there. After many attempts of experiments, I finally found the absolute delicious right recipe for the bland, tasteless oat..

Cheese!!!
Yes, cheese! It makes the oats smoother and cheesy! Obviously only for mouse those who loves cheese. (^.^)
A single cheddar cheese works wonder~!
I also add Chinese sausage (lup cheong), fu zhuk and carrots! And I topped it with plenty of anchovies, peanuts and black sesame. Yum~
P/S : Apparently cheddar cheese has cholesterol too! /_\

Budget Good Food~
Filed Under photo, food | 11 Comments
Being not-so-hungry, we are not too sure what to eat on Sunday night. When we saw the promotion for Hainan Village at Manjalara, Kepong, we decided to give it a try.
It was really a very value meal as they are so many dishes for RM9.80 and it was quite good. Though the green curry chicken gravy isn’t as thick as I like, it tasted quite nice too.
The tempura-styled-deep-fried-kang-kung is really crispy and scrumptious. All the side dishes are yummy too except for the soup-of-the-day which is just like what you get at hawker stall. But for RM9.80 it was acceptable and worth it.
I ordered a French toast which I have forgotten to take the picture as I was too engrossed with the food! It was really delicious as well and I will certainly be back for more!

Korean BBQ Chicken~
Filed Under photo, food | 11 Comments
This year, even with a little love to KFC, I have decided to stand firm and ban KFC for a year after watching the KFC cruelty chicken video.
I have found many of the KFC cruelty videos in YouTube and other sites. I wanted to put up a video here but decided to remove it as it was really too cruel to look at. You can find a lot of the videos here.
Though I really missed the crispy fried chicken, I have stand it for more than six month and I keep reminding about the cruelty. Well, let just see if I can make the same resolution next year.
Anyway, I really miss fried chicken as I have sort of refrain myself from indulging it due to my high cholesterol. But after seeing the mouth watering lunch pictures taken by BabyFiona, I couldn’t help but try it for myself!
Yes, the Korean BBQ Chicken.
I must admit I have never known its existence. But since it is fried using olive oil, I suppose it is rather healthy, or maybe just not that sinful, right? At first I thought it was a fast food as I was going to the counter to order. But it is a restaurant alright.
I ordered the smoked chicken after battling for 5 minutes over it with teriyaki chicken. However I had a taste of one of the original
fried chicken as well. It was really very yummy, despite the restaurant being rather empty on Saturday night.
The smoked chicken is very tender and tasteful and the whipped potato is good too when it was warm.
The fried chicken is really crunchy and yummy!!! Writing this post and looking at the pictures make me wanna go back again soon! Drool~!!!
But the drink is a little expensive, RM5.50 for a soft drink! But at least it is bottomless and being cheapskate, we ordered one drink and shared among two.

Pomegranate~
Filed Under food | 11 Comments
Have you heard or taste pomegranate? I am not sure if I have or not as my memory don’t seem to serve me well these days. I always thought I have not done something that I apparently have done; which freaks me out a little.
Anyway, I couldn’t recall ever eaten a pomegranate before. As I passed by the fruit stalls on the way to work, I thought I glimpse on this fruit on the glass shelves but I didn’t have time to stop and buy. But I told myself to get it if I saw it again on the way home and I did!
It cost RM2.50 for a small packet! But what the heck, it looked quite tempting for me to try it and so I bought it.
It taste quite sweet with very slight tinge of sour which I really like. There is a tiny seed in each of it but I could just chew on it and swallow. It is as juicy as it look; yum!!~
And after googling it, I found that pomegranate is indeed packed with goodness such as triple antioxidants found in red
wine or green tea!!!! WOW! Pomegranate also contains lots of Vitamin A, C, E, folic acid, potassium and niacin~! It is used in cuisine as well as traditional medicine.
It is beneficial in reducing arterial plague, blood pressure and most importantly cholesterol! I am all sold and I guess I would invest more RM2.50 for the juicy, sweet fruit~! Yum~ 
P/s : I would update my Hanoi pics as soon as I could.. Too many pics to filter and it's really overwhelming~ >_<

Pan Mee & Chilly~
Filed Under food | 13 Comments
Pan Mee has always been one of my favourite. When I was younger, my mum would make us pan-mee in soup with shredded eggs, anchovies and chicken for dinner sometimes. It was a simple meal but we just loved it. But she has stopped making pan mee for us, as I couldn’t recall the last time she made it.
In Malacca, it is refers as ‘mee-hoon-kueh’ instead of ‘pan-mee’ and most of them are made using hand instead of machine.
A couple of weeks ago, my colleague mentioned a nice chilly pan mee in Damansara Uptown, which is the branch of the famous chilly pan mee in KL.
So, not knowing what to eat for lunch on Sunday, we decided to give it a try. After some rounding in Uptown, I found this Yong Kee‘Traditional & Fushion Pan Mee’ (same row as HSBC) but I am not sure if it is the same one as recommended by my colleague.
It was rather nice but the spicy Kam Heong pan mee that I ordered is rather spicy (after eating half of it) and towards the end, it is a little oily but I guess that’s what makes it tasty. =P The Klang-styled pan mee was rather good too although it is quite a traditional soup pan mee.

Steamboat, anyone?
Filed Under photo, food | 15 Comments
I am not really crazy about steamboat as since young, the steamboats I have are always full of balls. Yeah, like fish balls, prawn balls, fish cake and stuffs from the same family. I only like meat balls and ‘fu zhuk’ (don’t know what you call it in English).
Besides, how can steamboat beats satay celup from my hometown, right!?!
But…! There is a nice steamboat place (in fact many at the same areas) at Kepong Manjalara which is very famous for the steamboat! Even a non-fancy-steamboat would drool whenever I think of the spicy, delicious-tom-yam soup! Yum!
I just had it again last 2 weekend ago and it’s really good and not that pricey. Around RM15.xx per pax I reckon.
A full plates of food, with Yee Mee noodles and MeeHoon and eggs~
