Fong Lye, The Gardens

Which is the most famous restaurant in The Gardens Shopping Mall? I guess out of 10 of your friends, 8 will said Fong Lye Restaurant. Ya, they have the best business so far ( i guess ) and you can alwiz see huge crowd waiting to be seated outside the restaurant especially weekends. Don't worry about the waiting time, you can either sit outside, enjoy a cup of ice refreshing drinks complimentary from them, or you can shop around while waiting for your number... :P

This restaurant is a master for fine Taiwanese food and of course one of the Taiwan signature food is the Taiwan Pig Intestine Mee Sua台湾大肠面线 (RM 9.80). The mee sua was cooked in the delicious thick broth with pig intestine. Love the intense flavour of it and of course the way they served the food!

Next is this Hot & Spicy sauce with braised pig intestine, tofu, egg, pork meat and other stuff (RM 16.50) which i dunno what is that. For those who can't take hot food, better dun order this... Well, i like this very much as it will gave you a strong "kick" ...

Sweet Potato Ball (RM 5.30) is also something that you must order. Why? Seems like every table will have this! I like the texture of it which is a bit chewy.. not too strong in taste but this is definitely something special.

For those who love strong flavour food, i guess this "3 cup chicken set" or "sam bui gai" or "三杯鸡" (RM 19.80) is going to be your good choice! The combination of a cup of sesame oil, a cup of Chinese cooking wine and a cup of light soy sauce created a great and thick flavour for this dish and i love the hint of Thai basil leaves in it.

The "sam bui gai"set that i ordered comes with a piece of fried tofu fish cake, spring roll, salad, soup and a bowl of braised pork rice aka 卤肉饭. By eating just the rice and the braised minced pork itself is consider delicious and try to imagine adding some thick gravy from the chicken dish and the piece of tasty chicken.. yum yum

The dessert - Iced green bean milk (RM 7.30) was a bit disappointing as it basically shaved iced topped with green bean and a scoop of ice-cream. Nothing special to me.

If you looking for some chinese style food that served pork in midvalley or gardens area, i guess this is one of the restaurant that you must try. The price a on the high side definitely but it's ok if we dine once a while...

Sushi Groove, Sunway Pyramid

Seems like i visit Sushi Grove quiet often everytime i visit Sunway Pyramid. Well, i alwiz link them with fast and cheap japanese restaurant, Further more, they did a lot of promotion and discount too.







We ordered the Unagi Roll (RM18.90) This must b a fusion sushi as it served warm! unagi rolled with sushi rice and added with a drop of mayo cheesie thingi... not bad!

Curry Bibimbab (RM 16.90) a.k.a japanese cury with rice and chicken katsu. The portion is huge and the Japanese curry was good!

Tori Chicken (RM 14.90) is another dish that i usually order. The taste of it is very much localise.

A simple & quick japanese dinner.

文丁美食探索之路

前阵子为了餐馆要找些古董....就跟友人到位于SEREMBAN 的文丁碰碰运气, 怎知被我发觉到几家相当古老有名的小贩.

真的没想到还有人会在用碳在灶头上炒粿条.

炒粿条面虽然没想象和期待中好吃......但,怀久的滋味还是填满了脑袋... 饱饱的....

还有这不可不试的手酿豆付. 酿肉多是用猪肉碎做成的, 所以口感比较粗糙及扎实.... 但味道却不比鱼肉差.

炎热的天气来一杯冰冷的椰水当然是最享受不过....

接下来就是这在炒粿条面档口斜对面的路边摊.卖这一种叫"煎long包" 或"ban zheng ger" 的小吃. 天啊!真是卧虎藏龙啊!　味道真是太棒啦！　花生碎及甜甜的玉米所产生的美味真是无法能形容．．

偶尔离开繁华的都市，　看看小地方的最不起眼的事物，有时也是一种享受的体验.．．．

Maju Palace, KL

Yes, Hitomi craving for dim sum...... and that's why i brought them to Maju Palace to try out the dim sum there (good reason for me to come again......hehe)

Justin and Hideaki were invited too!

Let's do the dimsum party!!! We first started with this fish meat wrapped with wanton skin, topped with mayonnaise and sesame seed. A very creative recipe from the chef that combine the east and the west!

.

According to the captain, this is the new dim sum menu! Something like chee cheong fun from the outlook.

But after we cut it, then only we realise there's fried prawn roll with some vege in it. It makes the texture so crispy! GOod try! End up we ordered 2 of this!

Next is the super huge "dai bao" that use a big plate to steam and served. This is definitely bigger than the famous " yip ji mei dai bao"

Oohh... the taste was great! Bare in mind, it's Halal! There's small abalone, chicken, turnips, egg and mushroom.. I'm sure u wont regret...

Fried mango and prawn roll

Fried Loh Bak Gou! Something good too as it is not so oily.

This is something new to me too - The fried fish skin. Crispy in texture and u can just treat it like twisties!!

scallop with chicken siew mai... lovely!

Assorted Halal Dim sum ....

The chicken char siew Bao was fantastic too. Really cannot imagine how they prepare "char siew bao" with chicken but taste so much better than the real one .....



Fried noodle with crab meat.

Steamed "Ma Lai Gou" with soft spongy texture.... nice!

Friendly captain playing with Hideaki!

Myself and Hideaki

Fried pigeon..... which i blog about it during my last visit! Still finger lickin good!

Mum and dad with hideaki

We end our brunch with this cold aloe vera dessert....

Good news!!! The Sunday promo is still on! 30% on dim sum!!!

Ketam Steamboat, Bandar Manjalara, Kepong

Steamboat is alwiz the top ranking whenever i dine with parents as my mum love steamboat so much. Like they said, when the age grow older, they prefer soupy and simple food. Bandar Manjalara is of course famous of the steamboat restaurant selection. I believe there is more than 10 steamboat shop that serve good steamboat.






Hideaki is definitely following us to anywhere we go....... this is the picture of him while waiting for food...

When come to steamboat, we need to wait patiently for the soup to boil. Then only we can throw in all the ingredients...

Pork Meat Ball RM 7.20

Golden Mushroom RM 8

Steamboat ingredients for 4 pax

While waiting for our food to boil and cook, we ordered the grilled chicken wings. Not bad but a bit dry...

I love the tomyam soup very much as its not too spicy or sour.. just nice in taste.

We had a wonderful time here........ hehe. Total bill came out to be RM 84.40 only.

Longenhaus, USJ Taipan

My friend brought me to this place - Logenhaus restaurant which i drove pass thousand time but never think of trying out. When i entered the shop, i was shocked as the restaurant was full!






After seated and oreder taken, we was served with this garlic bread..






And we enjoyed our beer with the garlic bread while waiting for our food.

We started with a Logenhaus special salad which comes with specialty sauce. I like the fresh ingredients that they used which make the salad tasted good!

For French onion soup fans, here's the soup that you shouldn't miss! Clear onion soup soaked with bread and covered with a thick layer of cheese.. oh... heavenly good!

Initially we opt for their house specialty which is the roasted chicken but sad that all was sold out that night. Without any choice, we ordered the crispy chicken chop. Huge piece of fried breaded chicken, to go together with homemade mushroom sauce... hmm.. not bad.

I love my charboiled lamb chop! Normally lamb chop will comes with a lot of bone and fats but this one was all meat! It's just good to fill up my stomach!

If you looking for a simple western food with affordable price, this is what you should try, The whole bill was only RM 84.40.

Yuen Garden Dim Sum House, Puchong

I think this is my 3rd time to this Dim Sum place in Puchong... simply because this is the only dim sum shop which is acceptable in taste in Puchong area (judgement on few months back as i didn't explore Puchong food for more than few months )

The waiter will push over the dim sum cart for us to choose.........

My usual favourite siew mai...

Har Gao with fresh prawns inside. I love the translucent thin layer of it

Overall, the dim sum here is acceptable and cheap but i think they need to improve in the number of service staff as it's very difficult to call their staff to attend to us...
