It’s been a while since I blogged. My final hurdle of my 17 years of education being the only reason I was away for so long. A very long hiatus indeed. Well, I’m back with more food as promised.

If you’re wondering around PJ town and got a headache when searching for dinner, a satisfying Wan Than Mee usually does the job. This time, I bring to you FLYING Wan Than Mee. Why fly?

This is why I said so. The chef practically threw the noodle so high up in the air, in a way to make the noodle more spongy and tastier? I dunno lah, but heck overall, the noodle is damn nice. Read the rest of this entry »

Honestly, whenever I am at One Utama Shopping Complex for some Japanese food, I am often left with problems deciding which place to eat. There’s simply too many choices!

Sushi King, Sushi Zanmai, Sushi Groove, Nippon Yataimura, Sakae Sushi, Shogun Saisaki, Shojikiya, Teppanyaki and Yoshinoya… Make your choice, please.

Many a time, I am way too hungry and I opted to go to the nearest one. This time, Dear selected Sushi Groove. Coincidently, it’s our post-valentine dinner. Ooo, I totally enjoyed the ambience.

 

 A familiar sight, the restaurant is pretty much empty during weekdays. Don’t ask me why, but I like the privacy there… and the friendly-&-prompt services.

Lack of updates, reason? Mid Semester Exam (when is it gonna end?) Hmm…

Alrite guys, I was just being relieved of the examination period, at least got 2 weeks before I start to get stressed with my Finals and thesis thingy. Yes, just a quick stress reliever - food. Izzi KL it is. An Italian and Asian cuisine this time.

My sincere apologies for the lack of update for the previous 2 weeks. It’s been hell of a week with Desmond-t going thru difficult spells of his life. Mid Semester tests came in three’s in-a-week, thesis stalled due to theorectically defying experiments, job hunting with either no-replies and rejections plus pain in the @$$ assignments and lab reports!

Right away after these ordeal, Desmond-t did had his stress reliever, of course with lotsa of food, inclusive the duck rice at Kepong Baru, dinner at Izzi KL, chilling out at Spring Lounge - Club Quattro and many more! But heck, let’s do some overdue posts okay? Here we go, the 100°C Steamboat Restaurant at Niu Ze Xui (NZX) Commercial Centre, Ara Damansara.

If KL got nice Thai style seafood at Nong & Jimmy, in Penang we have Khuntai! It’s not a new place but certainly a well known place among Penangites, especially for those who live in Butterworth. Desmond-t had been to this restaurant for more than 5 times previously but unfortunately they were all camera-less dining experience. Recently during the 2nd day of CNY, Desmond-t joined Bi’s family for a feast in this Khuntai Thai Seafood Restaurant.

It was another long weekend as the Thaipusam holiday was celebrated in most states across the nation. Desmond-t took this opportunity for a short adventure in Pulau Ketam, a must-go island in West Malaysia if you were to experience nice and cheap seafood delicacies. As you might have noticed earlier, this is a food cum going places entry. I shall begin with the glutinous one first, then only our jalan-jalan trip around the island (although I did it the other way round during my actual trip).

Before we go any further, let me share with you my overall food experience:
Pulau Ketam’s seafood totally dominated Kuala Selangor’s seafood without any doubt. The following is the reason why I was so attracted and in love with the seafood there.

The first snack I had was ultimately the best - The La La Chien (Omelette  with La La). Frankly, there’s a lot of stalls selling this Oyster Omellete and “La La Chien”. At list 5 stalls on the main street itself.

This is a Chinese restaurant, as depicted by the name - wholly owned by a Chinese national too. I was pretty surprised when I first entered this restaurant. There’s really a lot of China men dining and speaking away their dialects. For the first time, Hokkien was over ruled in Penang, only at this Tang Dynasty Restaurant.

Well, the cook, the boss and other staffs are all from China. I began to reminisce the food I had back in Zhuhai… Right away we did ordered a range of quite similar food we had last time over there. It turned to be a pleasant surprise to us!

Yes, due to popular demand to post for CNY updates, I decided to defer my Tang Dynasty Imperial Noodle Restaurant review and I proudly bring to you this post. It’s a Local Food cum Going Places review instead.

It was my last day in Penang and it was also the Sixth Day of CNY before returning to the plain boring uni life in KL. So, no more procrastinating and off I went to the ever famous Kek Lok Si Temple.

Wondering why I said “procrastinating”? Well, you should be well versed with how the usual activities during CNY rhymes. Visiting, reunions, meet ups, g***ling etc. Finally, everyone began to get dispersed from Penang and I got some time off to travel on my own.

Co-incidently, Mom just got discharged from hospital and off we went for a lighter meal. On the way up to Air Hitam, where the Kek Lok Si Temple is located, we decided to take a detour to Paya Terubong for Hun Sai Fish Bee Hoon Soup.

My elder bro and I are big fans of spicy food. Since young, we were “trained” by our parents to eat super spicy chillies and curry dishes. Recently, he recommended me to this new place. It’s new for me but it is certainly not for others, especially in China. This is Restaurant Chicken Hot Pot.
