Cheap Nasi Lemak Panas


Cheap and nice Nasi Lemak Panas @ Medan Selera 223.

I always read food blog when i have no idea what to eat or when i want to try something new.
Was reading kampungboycitygal's blog 2 weeks ago and found out this Hot Nasi Lemak. Told Mr Chong about this and we immediately agreed  to give it a try.

After a movie date in Midvalley, we drove to the venue via Federal Highway. It's quite easy to find. The place is actually located near Amway HQ and NAZA WORLD. 
Please see the map below for a clearer picture:

(Map by kyspeaks.com)

                                        
Reached there about 10pm, and still crowded with people. 
Hawkers were really welcoming and enthusiastic. Once we stepped in the Medan Selera, all of them started to ask you "Nasi Lemak?", "Sup Kambing?", They even try to help me decide what to eat by asking me "Tomyam Mee?". LOL... Was thinking how come they know i love tomyam.. Maybe my face really shows I love tomyam on it.

                                         

Due to the overwhelmed respond from 1 of the hawkers, we just sat down where he indicated. Ordered lemon ice and started to find out what exactly so nice about the nasi lemak panas. 
Once we sat down, those Nasi Lemak Stalls owners/staffs started to place nasi lemak on our table and you can just eat and pay later. Same as the otak-otak. (So sorry forgot to take picture for the otak-otak, for me the otak-otak is not worth to try, frankly, I don't like it at all)

Hmm.. actually there have 2 kind of nasi lemak, one taste sweeter and another one taste more spicy. To our understanding, the blue ink represents the spicy version and the red ink represents the sweet version. For me, the spicy version is a little bit too hot for me, and sweet version is just too sweet for me, so i have actually mixed them both together, and the outcome tasted so nice!!!
I actually ate 3 packs of them and Mr Chong ate 5 packs of them.

Spicy version - blue ink

 Sweeter version - red ink

The nasi lemak look like this. Just RM1.50. Consider very cheap in this PJ area.
The rice, surprisingly still very hot. Besides, each pack of the nasi lemak contains 1/2 of the egg. Hardly get half egg in nasi lemak pack now, usually just 1/4 egg only.
Hence, Mr chong actually ate 2 and half  and me 1 and a half boiled eggs on that night.
Oh my cholesterol...

 Limau ice... very fresh and nice too~


Overall, we love the nasi lemak here. Just, the place is a bit too dirty.
LOL.. saw quite an amout of small cockroach there. Next time i think i will just dabao and eat at home.

Late brunch @ S.Wine

Got pork Got pork.

As a chinese, I love to eat pork, for example, Bak Kut Teh la, Xiu Yok, Char Siew and, of course BACON!!!!!
So, whenever I know there is a restaurant serve good pork, I will try to pay it a visit.


S.Wine, one of the restaurant of The Big Group.
Fyi, Ben's Independent Grocer, Plan B, T forty two, Botanical are all under this group.
I read an interview with the founder, Benjamin Yong.
He actually was the founder of Delicious too!

Okay, back to S.Wine.
As you can tell by its name, S.wine is all about pork, pork and pork!!

And, where is it located???

S.Wine is actually nestled in a far corner of Ben's Independent Grocer (B.I.G).
You really need to look carefully at the sideboard in B.I.G because you will never expect the actual location of it.
If you still scare unable to locate this restaurant, please find out the alcohol section in B.I.G, then you will get to the entrance of the restaurant.

S.Wine is always packs with customer on the weekend. (Not sure about weekdays)
During our visit, Mr Chong and I were waiting for about half an hour.
Never mind, as long as the food is really good, both of us will feel worth it.

 The large menu, just infront of the door entrance.
So, you can actually study the menu first while waiting for the seat. :p


 Again, pattern dang dang face.

 Mr Chong ordered "The English Fly Up" (RM39)
Hmm.. he told me that he wanted to have the fly up feel. However, a bit disappointment. This breakfast set was not as good as we expected. At last, Mr Chong still prefer Antipodean Big Breakfast. He told me that the Big Breakfast is still unbeatable !!

I ordered this "French Toast with Grilled Bananas" (RM19).
I saw a blogger recommended this dish, and because i love banana, so i decided to give this a try.
I rated this 6.5 out of 10, and 5 points was given to the bacons and 1.5 points was given to the bananas. Bacons were really good, and the 1.5 points for bananas is just because i love banana. Hehehe....
By the way, sorry for the awkward angle of this photo.


As conclusion, I still think Antipodean still unbeatable for their breakfast.
Anyway, I will give S.wine another try for their pork dishes since i haven't try them at all.
So, looking forward on it!

MY 2013 CNY

终于,我喜爱的华人新年,过了!

从小,就喜欢过年。
因为可以穿新衣,拿红包,吃好料,还有,不用上学!
哈哈!

今年,是我当了上班族的第2个新年。
拿了5天的假,休息了11天。
每天除了一些时间到亲戚家拜年,
就是卧在家吃吃,喝喝,看戏,睡觉。

好在,我家人每年都会到槟城天公坛拜拜,今年又庆幸爸妈要去拜拜时我还在家。
所以就来个 Penang Family Outing,要不然真的会闷死。

第一站 - 天公坛

有很多人都不懂天公坛的存在。所以google了它的资料,方便参考。

天公坛是槟城广福宫信理部辖下的名胜古迹,原名:“凤山长庆殿”,创建于一八六九年之前。建立于1871年,佔地8英畝。它位于槟城名胜景点升旗山半山腰昔称凤山之处,以华人信仰中之天境最高神明 玉皇大帝为主祀,是北马唯一专祀昊天玉皇大天尊之古庙。

早期《天公壇》是由來自中国福建省5大姓氏,即邱、谢、杨、林及陈氏宗亲所建。

《天公壇》具有传统浓厚的福州建筑特色,建筑工艺材料也都源自福建。

平面中轴线三进院落,前后山门、中殿、后院,两边 回廊绕院,拜亭和大殿,复式藻井具有明代建筑之风韵,
全托当年福建匠师的细腻心思及无数双巧手,打造了这一座“天公坛”,让我们如今亲眼见识到这古建筑精品。




 弟弟和爸爸

 爸爸在拜神

 Mr Chong在拜神

 保佑全家身体健康,心想事成!

 “一天千人” - 到底是什么意思neh ?

 我和Mr Chong

 我和我的家人

第二站 : Penang Air Itam Laksa

以前我们都很爱吃这档Laksa。
据说,老板一天可以买大概2000碗!
WTF! 如果一碗他赚RM1, 一个月他可以赚RM60,000!!!!!!!!!!!

我觉得,这里的Laksa大不如前。没那么鲜甜了。
可是,还是很多人慕名而来。
这里的Laksa是出名“臭”的。
每次吃完后手啊,嘴啊,都会很臭Laksa 和虾膏味。
这次,我的裤都有那个味,真的是“臭”到不行!!!!

 Laksa 档,请仔细看那两锅千年锅。不知几久没洗了。
现在Laksa已经买到一碗RM4。在槟城,是有点不便宜噢!

第三站 - 极乐寺

极乐寺,就不用我多介绍了吧!
每年极乐寺都会在年初一到十五亮灯。
所以,每每新年都会有很多人特意到极乐寺来拜拜,祈福及观赏美丽的灯艺。

观音菩萨圣像和八角亭


 Daddy 和 Mummy

 我和Mr Chong


我和家人

 点灯祈福

很快的,为期11天的假期,就这样过了。
只能又期待明年新年的到来。

希望在蛇年,我可以有一番作为。
心想事成,万事如意!!!!!!!!!!!
当然也希望我认识的人,健健康康!
毕竟健康才是最重要的~

Din Tai Fung

小笼包,小笼包~

我很喜欢吃小笼包,以前常到龙的传人,就是为了吃小笼包。
一直想试下台湾闻名鼎泰丰的小笼包,终于上两个星期让我如愿以偿地试到了。

鼎泰丰原产于台湾。它是一个屡获殊荣的餐厅,尤其是它的小笼包。
其台湾本土以外,鼎泰丰也设有分行,在澳大利亚,中国,香港,印度尼西亚,日本,马来西亚,新加坡,韩国,美国和泰国。

和Mr Chong 到了 Garden 地楼的鼎泰丰。由于很多人,我们稍微排了一下队。
服务员态度“麻麻地”。没有什么笑容。

点好餐后,等待~

Mr Chong 点了炒饭。(RM13.60)
我们认为,一间餐馆的厨师厨艺好不好,通常就要看他们的炒饭好不好吃。
结果,让我们失望了。炒饭不好吃~ :( 非常普通!

我点了西川拉面。(RM13.00)
Hmmm...这个就比较有水准。
可是,汤头需要加些醋才好喝。要不然,不够酸。

鼎泰丰的主角 - 小笼包 (RM10.30)

小笼包特写

我通常吃小笼包都会只放醋。(因为不吃姜)。放了醋后,我会咬一小口,然后让汤汁流出来,喝了它的汤汁后,再把整棵小笼包放进嘴。让肉和剩余的肉汁在我的嘴里,然后再细细的咀嚼~ 啊!真是一大享受。

吃后感:
鼎泰丰的小笼包皮比较厚。有好有坏。
好的是,冷后皮没那么容易破,汤汁还会保留在包子里面。不像龙的传人,它的皮比较薄,一上桌就要快快把包子吃了,要不然,就喝不到包子里的汤汁。
不好的是,皮太厚,馅又不会太多时,吃后没有所谓的“幸福感”。
而且,本人觉得鼎泰丰的ala carte 选择没那么吸引我,所以我比较偏向龙的传人。嘻嘻!

Antipodean Cafe @ Bangsar


又是 Food review!!

今天要介绍的是一家出名早餐的Cafe。

Name of the restaurant : Antipodean Cafe
Location                      : 20, Jalan Telawi 2, Bangsar Baru, 59100, KL.

Founders : Alun Evans & Arlini Evans


这家 cafe 的 concept 是来自于Australia & New Zealand。
澳式早餐其实是靠近美式,可有别于欧式早餐。
美式早餐往往会以谷类为主的菜,或以鸡蛋为主,当然还包括Pancake & Hash brown。
欧式早餐通常包括片的奶酪和冷肉,谷物,水果和饮料,如咖啡,茶或果汁。
澳式早餐通常鸡蛋为主,但也包括香肠,培根,早餐牛排,蘑菇,西红柿,和 Hashbrown。

Antipodean Cafe有个特点,就是,它的Menu 是印在墙壁上的。
有点麻烦,因为通常weekend都是爆满的,在狭窄的空间里,还要努力的读Menu,
可是通常这个麻烦是在你第一次到Antipodean时会遇到而已。
常去,就会对Menu比较熟了。

 ~Menu~

All Day Breakfast

Big Breakfast 

 Hot Mocha
 Ice Lemon Tea

Big Breakfast 和 All Day Breakfast 的差别就是一个有炒蘑菇和Hashbrown,一个有Baked bean和tomatoes。
是看你喜欢什么啦!
本人我的就超级钟爱它的炒蘑菇。很香。真的是白吃不厌。
Toast也很有味道。很脆,把它掺scrambled egg 吃真的很棒!
Bacon呢,就还真的比不上我在美国吃的。可能美国的太强了吧。
Baked bean, 麻麻地~ 如果让它再烧焦一点就好。
Hash brown 也是蛮有水准的。

饮料方面,
它的hot mocha,我就不太喜欢。有点太甜。其实,很多博客都说他家咖啡很好喝。
Hmmmm.. 只可以说,taste is very subjective!
Ice Lemon Tea 也还好。
所以我之后去都只要求白开水。省钱又健康!

价钱方面,如果点饮料就会贵些。
所以如果不是咖啡爱好者,
其实可以只点餐,饮料就喝免费又健康的开水。
那其实两个人吃,还不到RM40。

~Cheesss~

p/s:由于这个Jalan Telawi 区真的很难找停车位(尤其是weekend),所以如果真的找不到,其实可以park在bangsar village,然后步行到Antipodean。不会太远,就当作exercise咯!

2013 New Year Countdown @ Traders Hotel


Happy New Year 2013 !!!

元旦越来越靠近,一直很头痛到底要到哪里倒数2013年的到来。
原本真的想放弃,在家看电视就好。
结果Mr Chong想到了去家环境好好的酒店,吃个Buffet也不错。

然后,我们就一直在找酒店Buffet。
Google 后,知道,
Mandarin Oriental 是酒店界 Buffet 的龙头,
可惜,早早就给人book 完了。
而且New Year Eve Buffet 竟然要RM300++。
所以,OUT!

排第二的是Shangri-La。
可是,它离KLCC远,我们怕看不到烟花。
所以也OUT!

然后找下找下,
找到Traders Hotel 的 Buffet。
Traders Hotel 是 under Shangri-La 的。
所以,我们想食物水准应该不差。
而且它就在KLCC Park旁。要看烟花,走一下就到。

预定了5个人,每位RM171+-。
价钱还不赖。只可惜,不包饮料。
(只有开水,茶和咖啡是免费的)
加上,著名的Sky Bar也在Traders Hotel。
打算吃完Buffet后,就上Sky Bar countdown,还不错!
又可惜的是,当天Sky Bar Fully Booked。
Mr Chong 的弟弟又未满21岁,只好取消到Sky Bar 倒数的决定。

用餐的餐厅名字 :Traders Hotel's Gobo Chit-Chat Cafe @ Traders

 一进餐厅,就有个很美的圣诞布置。灯光气氛都很不错。

 我们的座位。桌上摆了些Party Stuffs。
很有Party feel !
我们的座位很靠近生鱼片台。嘻嘻!我的最爱!
生鱼片真的很新鲜。值得!
还有鱼蛋和鱼子酱!!真的有点高级!

 咸蟹脚,虾,和小龙虾!
吃了小龙虾,鲜度就还好。

最被甜品区吸引!很多甜点。
Chocolate fountain 很好吃!!
还有那用不同dessert塔起来的KLCC Tower。
让我们意外的是,竟然还有Pisang Goreng!

 Noodles Station。还有,马来料理,中华料理。

 Salad Bar, Japanese Counter, Spagetti Counter.

Grilled Fish, Beef, Turkey。
这档食物不适合我们。
吃了有种很Geli 的感觉。

 拍了很多照。Mr Chong, Mrs Chong, Miss Chong。

我们大概从7pm吃到10.30pm。哈哈!
吃饱后就步行到KLCC Park等烟花。

烟花从天而降。很美。可是,满头都是烟花灰。Mr Chong's 弟弟还不小心弄到眼睛。
所以,如果真的打算明年到KLCC来,记得要小心眼睛。

今年的Countdown真的很有意识。
吃得很饱,玩得很开心,烟花也很美。

新的一年,希望一切顺利,一切美好!
