May King Lam Mee@ Pudu

This restaurant is one of the pioneer of Lam Mee, hence you can expect the most authentic taste when u step in. It will usually be packed with customers, so be prepared to wait for a table, mayb sharing a table if you dont mind.

Dry Curry Noodle
Doesnt look really dry to me, but its really delicious, with the super thick curry and some nice "mihun + hofun"

The ever popular Lam Mee
Well, tasted only so-so, tome....mayb my tongue is already numb after trying the curry noodle


The ingredients are fresh, with tender chicken and pretty good noodles

Believe it or not, if you wanna add one more of this, be prepared to fork out another 30 cents each...haha
Conclusion: Lam mee not up to expectation, dry curry mee is superb...

Pros: Nice and fresh ingredients, quick and efficient service

Cons: Difficult to find a car park due to its location near to the super busy pudu market

Result: 7.8/10

Restoran New Hong Seng Bay Seafood@Tanjung Sepat

The crew members of Harkausiewmai are eager to visit Tanjung Sepat to taste the fresh seafood.
Hence, here we are on the eve of Merdeka Day, relaxing by the side of rushing sea breeze while enjoying the delicious and fresh dishes served by the restaurant located just by the seaside.

We cant resist but to camwhore "kau kau" at yet to be polluted seaside while waiting for the dishes to be served...


A pot of tea which is a norm for chinese dishes, can hav the usual selection of "kuk po". "hiong pin", etc.... why am i writing about the oh, so normal tea? Well, u will understand when ur having it while being blown by the relaxing seabreeze...

Tau Fu Kang
The opening, which is the "tau fu kang" tofu cooked like sharks fin in claypot. This dish is pretty good, and has all the natural taste of bounties from the sea...theres actually crab meat in it too...yummy

Joo as a gentleman, serving us the tau fu kang, and by the look of his face, u can actually see that he is soooo eager to be the first person to taste it...
Well, to some, a bowl of "tau fu kang" would not be complete without some dark vinegar in it. However, it would only be given upon request. This vinegar is mild, and did not provide the necessary "kick" for us who prefer strong taste of vinegar....

Claypot Ho Chien (oyster and egg cooked on claypot)
This dish is pretty good, with so many oysters cooked with the eggs. We can taste the freshness of the oysters, and its pretty darn good for oyster lovers....
Deep Fried Cuttlefish
This dish did not let us down as compared to what we had in KL/Jalan Alor...the cuttlefish still maintains the springy sensation, an indication of freshness
Look at how crunchy and light the batter covering the cuttlefish

Claypot Curry Fish
This dish is damn good, with the precise concoction of spices, it is cooked to perfection..Its not too spicy, hence, the taste of the fish can be savoured. The vegetables are not mushy and ingredients are aplenty(as u can see from the pic)
The total cost for the meal for 5, costs around RM70+ which is quite reasonable

Pros: Fresh seafood, Good dishes, Nice view and breeze

Cons: Need to travel quite far, unless u intend to visit tanjung sepat, it makes little sense that u will travel all the way there from KL just to eat it then, back to KL...

Results: 8.5/10 (it is shy from 9 coz the distance is quite far from KL)

Restoran Tasty Pot @ Bandar Sunway

Steamboat restaurants seemed to hav been mushrooming in Sunway for the past decade, with one of the most popular ones such as Yuen. However, stronger competitors are starting to step onto this playground to get a slice of the market share off the incumbents. Among the strong new comer (within the past year) is Tasty Pot. You can see the signboard even from the highway itself, bearing a steamboat pot and some varieties of claypot dishes.


I was suprised to know that they actually serve quite a number of different broth for the steamboat, among them are Tom Yam, Herbal Soup, Porridge, Curry Soya, and Soya Bean. Pretty impressive. I've ordered herbal soup and tomyam to benchmark with Choong Fatt(one of the best steamboat restaurant in Cheras).
Suprisingly, its pretty good...gonna try curry soya next round.

Look at the varieties of steamboat items available...




I certainly blew me away when i saw scallops, meat crabs, mussels, prawns and even large snails available. They are so fresh, a snail even tried to escaped , but is not quick enough and landed into the hot pot...

Normal steamboat items, nothing to shout about
Dark fungus, tau foo pok, and my favourite foo chuk are among the varieties of items available

This is where the magic begins.....

Marinated Grilled fish(quite good) and Sweet potato(real sweet) though, this presentation might seem awkward and makes the sweet potato look like egg roe..hahaha
Fried mini crabs, fried bun and sweet&sour vegetables (pretty good overall)

Pros: Priced quite affordable at RM23.80/pax, food are quite fresh and plenty of varieties

Cons: Customer service not up to standard, pot with 3 varieties of broth can only be selected if > 8pax

Result: 8.5/10

Pizza Brava @ Asia Cafe

The set up of this "stall" in the food court immeduately caught my attention. The deco is inspired by the Italian theme. The one thing that caught me attention most is the brick oven which is used to cook their pizzas.There are quite a number of varities of pizza and pasta...



I ordered the turkey ham pizza.(RM 16)
The crust is thin and smells quite good


Look at the cheese, they are really serious about their ingredients, not only using the plain cheddar cheese like many mamaks do....
Pros: Thin crust, real mozarella & parmesan cheese

Cons: Priced at the high side, and crust though thin, quite normal....

Result: 5/10

Cutting an Orange

Orange is one of my favorite fruit and is packed with Vitamin C.
The many ways to enjoy an orange.
1) Cutting it into 6-8 slices, then juice it out using the teeth, leaving the flesh intact to the orange peel to be thrown into the rubbish bin (which i consider as very wasteful)

2) Creating lines on the orange peel, then using a spoon to skin out the orange peel (this is not a practical approach as the flesh might stick to the peel sometimes, resulting in a poorly skinned orange)

3) I discovered a more practical approach to enjoy the orange to the fullest.

First, cut off the top and bottom of the orange as shown:
Then, start to slice off the peel (half first) around the orange
Flip over and continue with the other half till the orange is fully peeled/skinned
This is how it looks like when its nicely peeled using a knife
Leaving you a whole orange to be enjoyed. (The fiber/flesh of the orange is not wasted and is actually good for your digestive system.)

ENJOY...

John King@ The Pavilion

This Egg Tart Stall seems like the oriental version of J.Co/Big Apple, instead of Donuts, they sell Egg Tarts.

There are many varieties of tarts, flavors ranging from red bean, chocolate, steamed egg white,and the authentic yellow egg tart. (RM 1.80++)



The Egg White tart seems pale compared to the yellow egg tart, it tasted rather bland, but the outer layer of the tart is very fluffy and aromatic.


This authentic egg tart is the show stopper, with its fluffy outer layer and the texture of the inside which tasted like jelly.

Look at the texture in the inside, really feels like jelly.
Pros: Very fluffy and aromatic outer layer, Different types of flavors

Cons: The jelly-like texture does not appeal to me, and id prefer the ones sold at roadside stalls, where you will get a more tangible texture feeling from it.

Result: 5.5/10

Pasta Mania @ The Pavilion

Since its the Malaysian Mega Sale season, i went to Isetan@Bukit Bintang to hunt for good bargains for clothings. However, ended up in The Pavillion after hours of shopping spree. However, the result of hours of shopping almost burnt a hole in my wallet. Hence, the search for affordable food at The Pavillion Food Center came naturally.

Saw this Restaurant a year ago, but didnt step in till NOW....
The decoration seems pretty decent and not too fancy.


PastaMania, they do hav take out orders which gives a pretty good bang for your bucks..However, the take out sets are not available for Dine-In patrons..

This is considered a set, and costs RM 5.90-includes a beverage(soft drink/lemon tea) and the soup of the day.


This Chicken soup seems normal when its served, but the first taste left a significant impact to my taste buds...It practically consist the taste of chicken soup + cheese in it, with a healthy serving of tender chicken slices...YUMMY

Baked Pasta in Cheese, Specialty Cream and Vegetables (RM 8.90)
This tasted not bad though, but is not on par with Pasta De Gohan. It would taste better without the vegetables in it, which also enables them to save the additional costs too.

Pro: Priced pretty decent at such a prime location, good bargains(only on weekdays), and student gets 30% discount(also on weekdays)

Cons: Customer service is average, the baked pasta with cheese can do without Vegetables(feels very strange) haha...

Conclusion: 6.8/10

Restoran Loi Fatt

I have been frequenting this restaurant since few years ago, and is hooked to its dishes since then..Although the ambiance of this restaurant is more like a kampung styled eatery, the food they served are on par with many popular restaurants in KL.


This is the signboard of the restaurant, theres a new one called loi fatt baru just beside of it, but i prefer the taste of the original loi fatt.


A freshly deep fried gigantic spring roll/meat loaf stuffed with pork and some other ingredients(not sure coz cant identify, but can surely taste how good it is)


Fried Tofu in thick vegetable based gravy
This is one of the best dish that they offer. smells great and tasted evn greater....espcially when its piping hot.

Kangkung in Belachan
This tasted much better compared to Jimmy and Nong. Kangkung is fresh and crunchy while the taste and proportion of belachan is spot on.

Asam/Tomyam Steamed Fish
The Asam paste and the vegetables that go with it complements the fish. The taste of sour, spicy and sweet is nicely combined.

The grand finale- Sweet and sour Crab
This is the best sweet and sour crab i've ever tasted, no doubt about that. the gravy is soooo thick and tasted very pungent, thanks to the varieties of spices and sauces in it.

Salted Egg Crab
This dish caught us by suprise, coz we did not expect that a salted egg crab will be served wet, coz normally, they are served dry. However, it tasted quite unique with a tinge of "lai yau har" and salted egg combination.
Total price: RM 138.50

Pros: Rare dish, nicely cooked with sufficient ingredients added to the dishes

Cons: Priced a lil bit above average, for instance, the two crabs costs 63 ringgit

Result: 7.7/10
