Exotic Malaysian Food with Carina, John Lau aka Ma Lau and Jenny Wu. . .

Hey hey. . . This whole week was awesome because Carina, Jenny and I had our Malaysian Food Fest on our own. . . Oh, Carina is my cousin and Jenny is her friend from Aussie. . . "Good day, Mate". . . =p. . .They were on their way to India for the internship in one of the hospital and btw, they are Optometric students from UNSW, Sydney. . . Since this is Jenny's first time in Malaysia, I had the honour to introduce our culture, lifestyle, heritage - which were always associated with. . . . . . . FOOooDddDD~!!!!!Am I right, my dear Malaysian? hehe. . .

Aladdin was our first destination and it was exciting because this is my first time there as well. We were there to dine with Carina's uncle and his family. *being nosy - He is the COO for Firefly Airlines, Malaysia. FYI, Firefly is a new Malaysian no-frills airline and a subsidiary of our proud Malaysian Airlines -MAS* Enough of that. Come back to the FOOD~!!!




Looks delicious, isn't it? The food was good as well as the company.

Next day, we went to Klang to show off our Famous Bak Kut Teh to our dear Australian friend. John tried some stupid jokes to scare Jenny on what meat they served in the Bah Kut Teh. Jenny was playing along with him and 'duh. . . #%@' But it was good to wake up early to drive all the way to Klang just to eat Bak Kut Teh. Refreshing konon-nya. hehe. Actually John wanted to bring us to a more famous shop but it was closed due to renovation. Anyway, all bak kut the taste the same for myself. There's one shop at SS14, Subang Jaya which has the equivalent standard with the one we had. Next time don't need to drive so far to eat Bak Kut Teh le. SS14 can already. hehe. . . What to do? Fuel expensive now. hehe. Then we adjourned to Chi Cheong Kai aka Petaling Street to continue our Food Quest.



*welcome to petaling street. I am your host, Ms Jenny Wu*


* the Famous jammed packed Petaling Street which in this case not - might have been raided by by the Majlis Perbandaran I supposed*


* three posers eating Kuai Ling Gao*


*eh. . . Gang fight ar? Or keng sou at the back alley ( macam mana mau settle. . .?)*

NO WAY. We couldn't possibly be showing our guest our "herritage", could we? haha. Actually this place is the reason why Petaling Street exists in the first place. From what I've heard from Mr John Lau, the Hawker stalls began their business a long time ago before Petaling Street became popular. This place was the "in-thing" back then. So that was a good reason to visit the place although I have got to admit that I have not been to this place after coming to Petaling Street for countless times. *Kinda bad tour guide I was*


* The Famous place that made Petaling Street a big hit. . .




* Cendol, cendol and more cendol. . .

Then, we adjourned to Central Market to look at some of Malaysian handicrafts. But there's one thing that really caught my attention at once glance. Rape the wall. Not the kids.


WTH?~!!! F#@K the wall. . . That was the first. I think by forcing the rapists to rape the wall, this will definitely send some signal up to their brains whenever they want to carry out their hideous and shameful acts. Seriously, it was funny. But I have got to admit that behind this writing, there is truth in it. As we had experience shocking news that swept Malaysia with anguish and horror, the Nurin's case was definitely the most gruesome case that has ever happened in our nation. Why would someone kill an innocent young child? Will our nation remain its peacefulness and serenity that has kept our people safe and harmony for the past 20 or 30 years? With the statistics going up and up, I guess that day will never come back again. . .

Then, we procced to Suria KLCC, a shopping complex which is not alien to many people including the locals and tourist because this place is where the Famous Petronas Twin Towers stands tall and brings the name of Malaysia to be on par with the rest of the world. Thanks to Dr Mahathir for his superb visionary and wisdom that we have the towers today. . . After taking some pictures and a long session of chatting and shopping, we headed back home with another thrilling day waiting ahead of us.

The next day, awoken by a stupid call, looking for " Kilang Kaya", I dressed up and got ready for breakfast. We were told that we were having breakfast at O & S Restaurant at Taman Paramount. Curry mee, Penang Prawn mee and Kuay Teow Ting were some of the dishes we ordered. Let the pictures speak for itself.

* Penang Prawn Meeeeeee.........

* Kuay Teow Ting. . .

* Curry Meee....with Lime....

Then, at night, John Lau took us to a place near Kota Damansara. Eastern Delight is the name. Not to mention anything, the bill took all of us by surprise. It served porridge steamboat FYI. The porridge cost as much as the ingredient itself. WTH?~!!!Seriously must complaint to the Customer Rights Association or whatever you called it. Just because I took out my camera and snapped a few pictures of it they charged us so darn expensive and John had to rub it in by saying it is my fault. Bringing out the camera, it seemed, made us look like a tourist. Bugger~!!! But don't care la. The food is so so only, maybe because geram already. haha.

Happy Birthday Jason Ong~~ =)

Lazing on the bed, waiting for the sun to set, I was actually looking forward to Jason's makan makan & hopefully the plan to watch Long Khong 2 will . Before we headed to the Curve, we had to stop by section 17 to fetch Yi Vonn's cousin, Ah Meu. I must say that his wantauful sense of direction made us go round and round like a merry-go-round before reaching his house. Phew. . . If not for our brilliant sense of direction and bit of luck, we wouldn't have found his house. . =p . . .

Luckily the traffic was smooth all the way to the Curve. BUT the cha-dou part was that when we reached the Curve, Jason called to say that they were still at home and haven't departed from their apartment yet. Coolness man. So never mind about that, so three of us decided to walk around and find a present for Jason boy. We went into a few shops and finally, we stopped by Puma Outlet store to look for the present. Finally, after much effort, we agreed to buy a shirt for him. THEN WHAT? With Jason and the gang still haven't arrived, we continued to walk along the pavement along the streets to decide the restaurant to dine when they arrived.










After much of surveying and looking around, we have decided to dine in at Italiannies ( this does not mean that the rest is not good yeah). AT LAST~!!!

NOOOOooOO~!!! They still haven't arrived. Crap. . . more waiting and waiting and waiting. Our tummy had already began its "orchestra". Aih. What to do? Birthday boy has the right to be late. . . BUT still?!!!! hehe. . . So, few minutes later, they called and said that they had arrived. Luckily. . . If not, I would have gone to McD to eat some fries or burger. That would cost me more money. . . Aih. . .the feeling of spending money while there is not much left in my accounts really bothered me. Nvm la. Birthday is inevitable. hehe. Can't complain much, can i? hehe. . .

Since they had arrived, we decided to just go in and wait for them. Fortunately, they served us the Bread and the Olive oil & Vinegar. That will at least ease our hunger. Nothing tasted so nice before, even it was just a bread. WOW. Finger-licking good. Then, we ordered the the 3 course meal that comes with a dessert. On top of that, we also ordered a Pizza. We bising here and there saying that they should spend us for being late but it was Jason's birthday so, we forgave them. So noble of us. hehe. =p. . . Apparently, Dewayne's car has been confiscated by the Police during an operasi in Seremban for illegal racing. Pity him. Cannot sit still the whole dinner because have to call the inspector. So the moral of the story is DON'T RACE ILLEGAL ~!!!

I must say that this dinner was absolutely TOMATO-licious. I have forgotten the n
ame of the dishes but I took some pictures. Man, they were delicious and filling at the same time. Or was it due to the long suffering that we had just now due to the constant "orchestra" being played over and over again in our tummy? hehe. . .

Appetizer on the go. . .


If my memory served me right, that is salmon with
Tomato.


Shrimp Pasta. . . Yummy. . . Fresh and Tasty~!


Bacon Linguine. Marvelous. Simply
Mouth Watering.


Garlic Pizza. Too full to taste its
delicious- ness.

Lastly, a lovely dessert came next. It was a pudding with raisins. Since we had no birthday cakes, we requested a candle from the waiter to use that as the cake replacement.




Then, CRIME of the CENTURY~!!!!


What is TGIF's sugar doing at Italiannies Restaurant? Someone's sending a SPY huh? haha. . .

A full and satisfied Jason & Co.

Another Foodies~!

16th of May marked my independence together with the rest of my classmates after sitting for the last paper, Accounting in Context. Happily relaxing and following Yi Vonn back to Seremban, I would always think about the food that we are going to have for dinner because with Yi Vonn's dad and TaiKu (Yi Vonn's aunt) around, one will never starve. They would always suggest nice places that serve the best food around. This time, we had a dinner that were creatively prepared in Japanese-Chinese Style.

One of the complimentary Jap food which was so scrumptious that I will ask the chef to cook a huge tray for me~!
* The look of it is already making me drool all over.


TauFu with special sauce. This is definitely a Miss-out-you-will-regret- type of dish.
The sauce itself is enough to make your imagination go wild.
(exaggerating right. . .try for yourself)
haha. . .

Teppanyaki Chicken: I love this.
Simply nice and yummy

Venison Fried with Ginger.
From the scale of 10, I would give a strong 7 or probably 8.
The texture of the meat combined with the ginger is so so so. . . indescribable.

Fried Sek Pan

Last but not least, Tempura as the finishing dish to complete the meal.
I've got to admit this is quite unique in its way but definitely worth trying.

Jogoya Restaurant @ Starhill Gallery

Phew~! ! ! I guess it has been ages since i last wrote on my blog. well, I am back.

Last Saturday, Yi Vonn and I celebrated our "so-called" Belated Valentines at Jogoya Restaurant. I have heard so much about its mouth-watering, saliva-dripping food that is displayed. Believe me, whatever i have heard is true~! The buffet is categorized into section which i would preferably called them "little town". Each "town" serves its own specialty such as the Japanese "town" serves raw fishes of all sorts, the Italian "town" serves spaghetti, Lobster Pizza, my favourite ' waffle with honey' and whatever not. Besides that, there was a "town" that displayed the best dessert whereby they offered a variety of Cookie ( yay~! also one of my favourite), Cakes of all types and shapes ( again my favourite~! I have already lost count on what my favourite is! The overflowing of food just blurred my vision and released my animal instinct to conquer every "town" that is in the restaurant *giggles*

Well, without further ado, I raced passed the crowds and got my place, ready to devour the fishes displayed in the Japanese "town". I couldn't really recall the names as my instinct told me to salvage my food asap to continue my quest.


*Variety of raw Japanese-style fishes*


*Saliva-drooling Shisamu on the go*


*Yummylicious Sushi (especially Unagi Roll)*


*scratch head* What is this? Looks like egg yolk with soya sauce.
If my memory recalls, I think the name for this dish is "Sauna Egg".

Moving on, I started to hunt for Asian Food such as Pandan Chicken, Squid in Curry, Deep Fried Salmon, etc. I must admit that this place serves the best salmon as they are ever so juicy and tender.


~Look above. . . The one in orange colour - that is the fried salmon which is so tasty that it will make other high-class Japanese restaurants look so bad. Beside it is the squid in sambal (if I am not mistaken).


~Pandan Chicken - Small but Deadly * Once eaten, will crave for more*
*The small stuff on the left which look like Fried Dumpling is called the "Money Pocket".
~The one above is called Deep Fried Muachi ( didn't know that people actually fry them).
* The red cherry stuff is knowned as "Ping Tong Wu Lou" in Cantonese.

Before moving on, I managed to drop a pin ( which is the procedure in order to choose the dish that you want) for Fried Tou Fu in Thai-Style.


*Lau-yeh. . . See already saliva also drip man*

Savouring down all my loot my Mind, Body and Soul kept looking at only one place ~ DESSERT~! ! !


~Waffles with Honey~


*Ice-Cream From Baskin Robins & Haagen Dazs*


~Capuccino Jelly~


*Very delicious cake (forgotten its name. . . Aiyok~!!!)


~This one even better - Cream on Choc~


*A variety of Cakes*


~Cookie Monster : Here i Come! ! !~

Racing against time, we only managed to grab a plate of Steamed Crab with Eggs and Deep-Fried Prawn & Scallop. Both the dishes were wonderfully prepared as We ate to our heart's content~! !


*The best dish ever - steam crab with eggs*


~Fried Scallop & Deep Fried Prawn~ Yummy~!!!


Taking pictures of the food aside, we also managed to take some pictures together with the delicious food. I was really eating to my heart's content and was reaching the extent where I couldn't stuff the food in anymore (thats the first since I rarely let go of anything I could grab on my hand. . . *giggles*). Well, I must say that it was all worthwhile and I shall visit Jogoya again in the near future. But sob sob. . . there will be a hole in my pocket again when the time comes.

*happy couple together*
