Presgrave Street Hawker Centre @ Penang. 09 May 2009
- Quite long time never visit Presgrave Street Hawker Centre, due to limited parking lot there. Before revisit there, I totally lost my memory about the food here is nice or not. I order the Ice Kacang, surprising it was tasty than the one at new world food court. Today our main target is Hokkien Mee. As usual I will add on Xiu Yok (烧肉). The Hokkien Mee was not bad, but I still prefer the Green House one. We order another side dish-fried oyster,the fried oyster was a bit “wet” but quite tasty.

奇峰豆腐花 @ Ipoh. 03 May 2009
- Last stop at Ipoh. Always heard people told me that the tau fu fa near the Restaurant Lao Wong is nice and special. So we just drop by and have a try. The tau fu fa is very very smooth and not sweet at all, a bit like 山水豆腐花. No harm to try something special, even you might not like it or fall in love with it !!!

Restoran Lou Wong Tauge Ayam Kuetiau @ Jln Yau Tet Shin, Ipoh. 03 May 2009
- While on the way go back to Penang, we drop by Ipoh again. As I plan earlier, we go to try the chicken koy teow. Another crowded restaurant at Ipoh. Please be careful when you walking around at the shop, the floor is super oily. Overall not bad, always heard others told me that the shop at opposite is better. Next time if got chances, will go to try the opposite shop – chicken koy teow. For me the chicken, bean sprount and chicken koy teow is a bit normal and quite oily. The fish ball/meat ball is extremely good, it is quite weird that shop that sell chicken , the chicken was so so only and the fish ball is better adn extremely good……….weird weird weird.

Din Tai Fung

Din Tai Fung @ The Gardens, Mid Valley City. 02 May 2009
- Actually I want to taste the Xiǎo lóng bāo for this visit since Ding Tai Fung is well known internationally for its Xiǎo lóng bāo. Din Tai Fung was ranked as one of the world’s top 10 restaurants in 1993 by The New York Times. Compare to drangon-i one, if not mistaken(due to quite long times not visit dragon-i), Din Tai Fung one is slightly smaller. The taste was great !!!
- I have visited dragon-i with my friend before, seem like most of them don’t know the proper way to having ziao long bao. Here is the proper step to having ziao long bao : Click here

Bukit Bintang Market
Sep 22nd
Bukit Bintang Market @ Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur 02 May 2009
- One of my favorite coffee shop at KL. We are a bit late today, around 10 am ++ we only reach there. As usual the place crowded with customers. Normally we will go for the right hand side hainan coffee shop (if you face the shop lot), we try to looking for the table for more than 10 mins, seem like we can’t find anyplace. So we decided to find a table at the shop on the left hand side, not really know about the shop name even I have been there for more than 10 times but the left hand side shop is my first visit. Overall not bad, the half-boiled eggs is the best, I believe that timing for half-boiled eggs is very important. Most of the half-boiled eggs we took at normal coffee shop cannot give me this type of feeling may be they are not professional or expert enough. Excellent and tasty. The toast bread kaya and butter is quite tasty as well. The most disappointed is the hainan tea, as I remember the shop on the right hand side, the taste is better. If I not mistaken, sometimes taste is forgetful as well.

IKEA Food Court

IKEA Food Court @ Mutiara Damansara,PJ. 01 May 2009
- When talk about IKEA, bear in mind you will thing about everything at IKEA is cheap, big and nice. Just the same for the food served at IKEA food court, portion is quite big with a fair and cheap price. The price is about the same as the fast food at MCD or KFC. I ordered the Poached Salmon, since I am flu during that times. For me the taste was not bad. According my friends the Chicken with swedish lemon sauce and Fish & Chips is so so only.They can’t finish the food due to the big portion, WTF !!!!!
Poached Salmon – RM 12.50
Chicken with swedish lemon sauce – RM 10.40

Assorted Vegetables
Green Tea
Salman Sushi
- After the super and extreme full lunch at office, just plan to took a more light dinner. Before the movie, we just drop by Sakae Sushi. I just ordered a small plate Assorted Vegetables (Teppanyaki) and Salman Sushi. I love the sakae sushi green tea, the green tea taste is a bit special. During rainy day, it is good to have a good taste and hot green tea. I prefer to have lunch/dinner at sakae sushi gurney plaza new wing, at least the services is better and less crowded during weekdays.

Rojak 101 @ Explanade. 17 March 2009
Rojak 101, Esplanade
- After having a quite “full” dinner at Woodlands Vegetarian Restaurant, and it was quite early. So we just drop by esplanade to have some “dessert”. Ah bell suggest to go for rojak 101 esplanade. We all found out that the taste was so so only. As usual, last time is more better. I think some of the Penang hawker should doing a QA test every year. Or perhaps government should form a team to QA test those so called famous hawker. We might down grade or up grade their level depends on the food quality or taste, at least this way of QA test will bring out the most efficiency of “competitive advantage” and tasty food.
