Fish porridge ---> Sri Petaling (Lucky restaurant)

Food' glorious food.
These lines in my head appearing in my head while I am doing my Saturday morning walk. After walking for about an hour feeling refresh, we drop by to Lucky restaurant for breakfast.

So we decided to order porridge for breakfast.


These are the utensils given if you order a pot of porridge from the stall.


And these is the pot of fresh fish porridge for 2 people. Hmmmm, its one of the best porridge around town. Sometimes the queue is so long, you have to wait 30 mins to be serve. Besides fish, you can also order frog, crab and lala too. This is really worth the wait. This cost RM8 per person.


To make the meal complete, we ordered a plate of yam cake from a different stall. The taste is good but it is a bit soft. This only cost 1.50.

For those who want to eat here, just go to Sri Petaling and this Lucky restaurant is opposite The Store car park area.

~ Bangkok food escapade ~ part 2

When you are in Bangkok one shopping center that you should not miss out is MBK (Mah Boon Krung) Center.
It's something like the Sungai Wang Plaza of KL. But the main attraction is the food court in MBK shouldn't be miss out. It got around 30 stalls selling all sorts of Thai delicacy. FYI, I did not take picture of the food court again :)

Pork knuckle rice - Served with rice, half boiled egg and salted vegetable. This is my personnal favorite, never miss everytime I go to Bangkok.

The ever famous Tom Yam Gong - Thats how they pronounce it in thai. Gong stands for soup i think. I don't think i need to further introduce this soup right?
Tom yum is characterized by its distinct hot and sour flavors, with fragrant herbs generously used. The basic broth is made of stock and fresh ingredients such as lemon grass, lime juice, fish sauce, tamarind, crush chilli, etc etc.

One of the desert shop that should not be missed in Bangkok is Mango Tango located at Siam Square. It sells lotsa Mango desserts from ice cream to juices to puddings.
This is an must order, can't remember what it's called. But you have a combo of fresh mango, mango ice cream and mango pudding. The fresh mango is sweet as honey and the ice cream is smooth and taste full of mango.

~ Bangkok food escapade ~ part 1

Well well how do we start...ok there's lots of food that has been consume on my past 4days trip in Bangkok Thailand but I only got pictures of 50% of them only.

First meal when we touch down at Bangkok
Seafood fried rice - The fragrant rice combined with the fresh seafood with a hint of lime juice fantastic!

Black Pepper Seafood with rice - Generous serving of sotong, prawns and onion fried with black pepper sauce. Very nice, especially the prawns are just well done not too 'cook'.

Next food stop was Chatuchak Market or also known as JJ by the local. Food stalls there are humungous. Too bad I didn't get any picture. Only thing I tried there are the pork balls, coconut water, coconut water and more coconut water... the weather was freaking hot ok?

The other thing that i tried there was Fried Chicken ala Thai
Thai style fried chicken - This is good stuff, tender fried chicken with thai sauce. And also some sort of sausage, don't really know what is it but taste good thou :)
Served with sticky rice
And papaya salad, fresh papaya marinated with lime juice and fish sauce, served with roasted peanut and tomatoes.

A Trip To Singapore ----> Clementi & Town Area (Suntec City Mall)

Had a visit to Singapore two weeks ago to meet up with old friends to do some catching up. Had most of my meals at shopping mall food courts during the trip but I did manage to had a meal at the local Singaporean style hawker centre at Clementi. One particular snack/side-dish whichever you call it I feel that is rather worth a mention is the local style rojak.

Conventionally, youtiao are lightly salted and made so they can be torn lengthwise in two. Youtiao are normally eaten as an accompaniment for rice congee or soy milk.)


I had the rojak at the first day of my arrival in Singapore; the following day I had another of Singapore's local dish called the: "Fried Hokkien Mee" at Suntec City's Level 1 Food Republic Food Court.

Kim Cafe ---> Indrapura Kulai @Johor

I miss the tofu in Kulai.....so breakfast will be yoong tau fu....went with my family....but no picture hoh...think mum & dad is not very comfy with me taking picture of their food...so only took mine...
Nasi Lemak

I decided to have Nasi Lemak....so long didnt have it already...It taste nice as the rice have the smell of the banana leaves with rich amount of santan (coconut milk) and the rice is cook juz nice, not sticky and each grain is on its own.

Yoong tau fu per piece RM1.20

Sometimes which is a must for me here is the yoong tau fu. Kulai's tau fu is made from well water, so it is sweet and soft.. a must have..other than the tau fu in Kulai, I seldom takes tau fu from other places. Since Sis is not getting anything on carbo (as usual) , we ordered about 10 pieces of yoong tau fu..the amount of meat in the tau fu is juz nice...not too little...soft soft tau fu...

Beancurd skin & gingko dessert (腐竹白果) RM2.50

No coffee, or tea....another favorite here is the beancurd skin & gingko dessert (腐竹白果). Not too sweet, soft beancurd skin, and the shop is not stingy with the gingko...quite a few....nice nice...

Yuen's Steamboat ---> Sunway @ PJ

Suppose to go to Puchong for the Shabu Shabu, but Average Bloke say he have tried and he dun fancy it. So changed of plan, went to Yuen's Steamboat instead. All three floors fully occupied, Bertz and Average Bloke went and queue for a seat earlier.

Abundant of choices, good thing is that they keep on replenish the food.







Waiting 15min in advance for the chicken wings to arrive...

When the chicken wings arrive, please view the video above. This is what they practically means Gone in 30 Seconds 0_o"
The legendary chicken wings. People are willing to kill for this.

Hot pepper soup ---> Serdang town

After visiting my grandmother from the hospital, I decided to drop by for some pepper soup. This shop is located nearby to South City plaza. Just a notice to our friends, this is a non-halal restaurant.


This is the main delicacy, the soup is made out of white pepper, black pepper, pepper powder and etc. The ingredients will be pig intestines, pig stomach, mushrooms and pork meat. The soup is great and you can just drink it on its own, and the best part is that you can refill it.


Next we have the fried taufu. This is the shop specialty too. It looks great and tasty as well.


This is a plate of vegetables we ordered.


Lastly we also have the dish called "Fah Tui" chicken. I dont really know what it means but the black sauce cooks together with the chicken it simply delicious.

The whole meal cost me up to 60 ++ for 4 people. Personally I think the price is reasonable as most people will just come and enjoy the food.

Below is the front view of the restaurant. Those of you interested can look for it through this website too http://www.aheko.com.my
