Pun Chun Wan Tan Mee @ Bidor, Perak

by Taufulou 20/05/2020

written by Taufulou

If you driving North South Highway Penang – KL bound, then you may want to consider drop by at Bidor for quick eat. Instead like Ipoh, you have to drive in about 15-20 minutes away to get your favourite food, Bidor eatery is just 5 mins away from the toll. Pun Chun Wan Tan Mee regard as one of the best wan tan mee in Bidor town., Perak

Upon you walk into the shop, you will see this local pastries on the shelf.

I am curious for a small town like this, what will be their local income like. A plate of noodle quite similiar to KL pricing.

Their charsiew is different from KL and Penang. It is like in between for me.

By the look of egg tart, it does not look tempting. True enough it is “mehhhh. ”

Pun Chun’s Classic Wanton Noodles is the signature of the shop. More like a bamboo noodle version.

The meal again after we eat from another shop.

More interesting is they have this herbal duck soup is also their signature. The taste of herbal duck meat soup or Duck Soup Noodle @ RM 9 is actually quite similiar to Penang mee sua Duck meat soup. Herbal”ish taste. Not too strong as the one like Penang but good enough. Personally thought that mix with wan tan noodle is a bit weird.

Duck Meat Noodle dry @ RM 11 is their shop signature. Noodle texture is slightly fatter, not chewy as more towards the soft side. Not too sure is it over cooked? Their soy dark sauce is slightly more compare to the one in Penang. It looks dark but not as salty as what we thought. It is not too bad.

Duck meat is more in this dry duck meat wan ton noodle. That’s why slightly more expensive.

Overall, I personally think that the first shop, Restaurant Mee Wah is nicer than Pun Chun Restaurant. As my friend say, in Bidor this is the commercial version where most other interstate travelers will drop by and another shop is more for locals. Again, it really depends on your personal taste bud as both also have its own crowd. Is this the only famous street food in Bidor, or there are others? Do share with me.

Over MCO or currently CMCO in Malaysia, there are variety of demand in them market. Looking at the statistic itself it is quite fascinating. What I learn among my friends is fresh seafood is one of a high demand segment. Then found this in FB. Chong U Long or known as Culfishery Deliver Fresh Seafood to our door step. Just by placing order through their: wasap.my/60102172172

Did this with Hai di Lao Mala Xiang Guo Sauce ( 海底捞麻辣香锅火锅底料 ), or stir fry mala dry pot.

Here you go on the seafood that I got. Quite impress with it. Getting seafood online is like a new norm but the quality and freshness of it is there. My white prawns with body and head is all pretty good and solid meat. Clam meat is good too. Best of all is the fish meat. Just like what you got from the market.

I am also impress with how it is deliver and well pack. Order on Friday came on Saturday in a normal foam box. Pack in a large plastic bag to prevent from the seafood water leaking.

For the pricing of the seafood, you can watsapp : 60102172172 them direct to find out what’s the price for the day, or check out their facebook. : Culfishery

All seafood comes in a vacumm sealed pack. I got 2 x Salmon fish head for curry dishes.

Squid ring is pretty huge.

Salmon Head – 300g x 2 @ RM 18
Threadfin – 500/1kg @ RM 42
Sea/Ming Prawn -800g @ RM 48
Clams – 500g @ RM 13
Squid Rings – 1kg @ RM 28

*price fluctuates daily. Do call them for the price.

Here you go on my fresh sea prawns @ RM 48 and clams in the packing.

The white prawn size is at least M and above.

This is what I mean. Look at the fish meat. SO fresh and the skin of the fish is just still perfect.

The clams meat as I soak it with salt water for 30 minutes before cooking.

My menu for the night, with the fresh clams and prawns that I got, cooking it with Hai di lao Spicy Stir Stir Fry Sauce (海底捞麻辣香锅调味料)

Result. simple fresh and good for the seafood that I got. If you are in for spicy, put in 2 pack. If beginner, start of with 1 pack of sauce.

Realme 3 Pro Review

by Taufulou 14/05/2020

written by Taufulou

This is way an old post as end of last year when I got this Realme 3 Pro phone, many of you asked me to quickly blogged about my review experience on this. This is a NON-PAID post as I purchase this phone for my work purpose.

This would be just a simple review on my own experience on this phone.

I was looking for a new second phone for work purpose and saw this Realme brand which seems not too bad. My budget was not huge. Trying to get a decent phone below RM 1,000 and shortlisted a few as below during 11.11 2019:

Realme 5 pro – RM 999
Realme 3 pro – RM 899
Oppo F11 Pro – RM 899
Huawei Nova 7i – RM 1,099

After watching some reviews and talk to @clevermunkey about it, he mention just get Realme 3 pro as that time were having promotion during 11.11. I got my phone for RM 599 instead of RM 899. So it was quite a steal at that period.

The phone got release in 2019 May and it seems that Realme launch a phone quite often, in a timeframe of 6-9 months per same model series. Currently already Realme 6 Pro for latest launch. Read here.

Realme 3 Pro Overview:

You can read more here at their website – Realme 3 Pro

Overview:

Size:.

1 love the size of the phone as it does not feel solid and for RM 599 phone, it is indeed a through bargain. Better grip, feel solid, yet thin enough.

Width : 74.2mm

Height: 156.8mm

Depth : 8.3mm

Weight: 172g (with battery)

Charging pot : microUSB 2.0

with front Corning Gorilla Glass

For the camera, honestly, it does blow me away with its performance. Most of the picture below are as it is except I increase 10% of brightness.

From a gloomy weather

To test of neon lights during CNY.

Indoor lighting.

of course for my food review.

A bar shot which is the most impressive of all

Another night shot.

Video performance is which is also truly impressive as I will be updating on it soon on youtube.

My summary of performance of the phone realme 3 review.

Battery is very long lasting, as I did test it out just without using it – can last about 7 days with 4g status on.
My normal usage for work – last me about 1 full day
currently is my gaming phone – as I played PUBG using it and for 100% charges – will last me 5-6 hours continuous gaming.
Fast performance of phone as I have been using since 20th November 2019 till now, not lagging nor auto restart.

Bidor Famous Wan Tan Mee @ Restaurant Mee Wah

by Taufulou 13/05/2020

written by Taufulou

Last year I was introduce by my friend, as on the way back to KL from Penang, he suggested that we should stop by at his favourite breakfast place. I say, lets do it. Then he turn into Bidor exit. I was like here? Then heading to this Famous Wan Tan Mee at Restaurant Mee Wah in Bidor, which is just about 5-7 minutes drive away from the toll exit.

A place that is pack with locals. Most of the outstation people do go to another shop – Pun Chun Wan Tan Mee, which I shall blog in another post.

A random pick from a store next to the wan tan mee is this Yong Tau foo. nothing to shout about as the soup is quite simple and clear. The ingredient are freshly fried.

I was told by my friend This famous wan tan mee in this small Bidor Town, Perak had easily been 30 yeas. Currently is helm by second generation.

Indeed the taste of wan tan mee here is different from the one in Penang and KL. The taste is really like in between. I do find it quite interesting. Light fragrant soy, sesame and a bit of sweet end.

No doubt that the highlight will be the wan tan noodle it self. Springy and cook to perfection.

Wan tan is also quite generous. Is about 4 pcs But the price tag at RM 5, for a small town (if I remember correctly) is actually quite expensive. I thought it would be and RM 3.50 – RM 4.50. I am not too sure the living standard here but it could be the standard pricing for this town.

Order Sui Kow as additional. I think the sui kao is better.

I am not sure. Could this be one of the best wan tan mee in bidor? My friend shared that this is his favourite. If you guys do have your favourite place better than this. Do share. Will go hunt next.

Ramen Seirock-ya @ Uptown Damansara, PJ

by Taufulou 10/05/2020

written by Taufulou

This was a week before MCO. A random exploring as wanted to go another round for Tomo Ramen, but the shop did not open on that day and I was craving for a nice bowl of ramen. Remember facing main road there was one ramen shop and decided to head to Ramen Seirok-ya.

Upon reading the menu, I find this fascinating as this is the first time I come acrss Halal Ramen in PJ. Quite rare to get one as the one which is pork free using chicken broth is Kagura in at J’s Gate dining at Lot 10.

A ramen shop that uses chicken meat and bone as their main ingredient to cook 8-10 hours soup base.

A recipe from Japan, and if I am not mistaken is also part with Japanese owner, that they want to share their traditional recipe with Malaysians.

This is indeed a great news for me and my muslim friends where on and off they ask me where got Halal ramen for them to try. Now I can say that there is one Halal Ramen shop in KL.

Price wise is very decent for an operator in Uptown. Starting from RM 15.40 for a bowl of ramen. Mana boleh dapat?

I am a big fan of Shoyu base. Decided to try out Toripaitan Shoyu Egg @ RM 17.40 with thin noodle. Order their regular style too. Quite like their shoyu base, as it is clear, mild spicy and quite fragrant. Egg I wish it is more flavourful then it would be perfect. Chicken meat is soft and juicy.

Of course when in a Ramen Shop, die die also must try their original to see where is the benchmark. Toripan Shio Egg @ RM 17.40.

Different taste of broth. Milky, medium thick but it is acceptable for me, as every ramen chef have their own tricks under their sleeves and I am certainly impress for a Halal ingredient to churn out this taste.

For their black pepper, is one of the best and fragrant. Eat all the original flavour in your bowl. Half way through if you decided to enhance the taste of your soup base, add little by little. I highly recommend their white pepper. Really do enhance the taste of the soup.

Do add little by little as it is very strong in taste.

well, I would say this is one of the best HALAL ramen shop in PJ that I come across. Good news that all my muslim friend can enjoy one of a authentic ramen from Japan in this shop.

Since now is during Ramadan Period. Do give them a call as saw their FB they do have pick up services.
