My food & travel journey

Envi Skydining @ Menara TA One

by Taufulou 05/06/2020

How often have you guys start dining out. ? Me quite often, whenever there is opportunity. Envi Skydining at Menara TA One or just right opposite KLCC had open its door back to public dining with careful social distancing among diners. Best of all, it is a place where you can dine in and enjoy your dinner at affordable price while enjoying the mighty tower Petronas Twin Tower, KLCC.

On that day we reach, it was raining. If not, we will be choosing to dine outside.

A restaurant with spacious dining area.

Starting our dinner in style, with a glass of champagne.

Cream Cheese with Pear & Walnut @ RM24 of 4 pieces – personally like this as it is quite unique.
Spicy Eggplant Bruschetta @ RM 20 of 4 pieces
Creamy Mushrooms @ RM 20 of 4 pieces

Smoked Duck Breast Pizza @ RM 40 is like paper thin base. Simple and nice.

Something to serve you in style is this Linguine Seafood in foil @ RM70. A portion that is filled with mussels, clams, and prawns.

Black Angus Rib Eye @ RM 150 for 220gm. One of my favourite dish of the night. Cook to perfection and it is a pretty good cut. Done to medium rare and dip with chef special sauce.

Tortino, molten chocolate brownie served with vanilla ice cream is a perfect ending. The chocolate lava just ooze out and the coldness of vanilla ice cream blends very well with the bitterness of the chocolate. @ RM 30 i

Pineapple Fried Rice @ RM13.90 per set (lunch set)

For peeps who works around the area and wanted to have better ambiance without burning a hole for your lunch,hey serve some incredible valued lunch sets from RM13.80 per set, it includes complimentary iced lemon tea, local coffee or tea.

They have these local favourites, from Cantonese Fried Noodles, Penang Fried Kuey Teow, Hokkien Fried Noodles to the Pineapple Fried Rice which we tried that evening.

Walk further behind, you will reach their bar section. Another new discovery of bar in KL.

Envi Skydining’s restaurant section can be booked for private functions such as product launches, press conferences, corporate dinners, weddings, and even grand birthday celebrations. Depending on the layout, the restaurant section alone can seat up to 200 pax.

This is where you will want to be. Just to sit and chill to enjoy the surroundings. A perfect bar for tourist to visit in KL.

Bangsar Coffee Place Featured Food K.L Local Food Location Pork Free Recommended

Urban Daybreak @ Bangsar

by Taufulou 01/06/2020

written by Taufulou

Fuh, how many of you miss cafe hopping? During this CMCO many of us can order through GRAB Food. Since now more F&B operators are accepting dining in, here we go again in doing our part to support local businesses. Heard alot about this Australia inspired cafe in Bangsar, Urban Daybreak. A new cafe operator from Penang that is penetrating KL Market. Some say is one of the best new cafe in Bangsar.

Some of you might recognize them as Jeremy Chick’s during MCO or CMCO. The chicken rice delivery in Bangsar.

To my surprise, there is actually a queue during this CMCO and I waited for 30 minutes for my table during lunch time at 2pm.

their menu is pretty straight forward and pricing is the usual cafe standard.

We ordered Cafe Latte @ RM 12 and Honey Latte @ RM 15. Coffee taste is to my liking as a well balance of coffee aroma and milk yet not too acidic. The Honey latte taste much better as there is after hint of sweetness.

Asked about what is their top recommendation and apparently Avocado Smash @ RM 25 is their best seller. Something simple and direct for your brunch dosage, spread with homemade guacamole, feta cheese, wholegrain bread, roasted cherry tomato, cider and beetroot puree.

Porky Bolognese Sandwich @ RM 28 – spiced pork tomato stew, grilled onionz, mozzarella cheese, homemade hashbrown and sourdough. Italian spaghetti inspired turns to sandwich version. Quite interesting. Hashbrown is thick and crispy.

Stout Pulled Pork with Poached Eggs @ RM 28.50 – sourdough toast, poached eggs, bbq cider vinaigrette, feta cheese, crispy shallots . If your taste bud had awaken, this this would be a suitable dish. Stout pulled pork gives you a punch of flavor with a well balance of sourish taste. Runny egg yolk is just nice.

This is their hidden Steak sandwich @ RM 35 which is off from the menu. Do request from the waiter. Among all the sandwich, this is my liking among the all. A slight toast with butter fragrant on the top., with sourdough is soft in between and steak is done to perfection. Medium rare. – recommended

I am a sucker for this item. Will order whenever any brunch menu has it. Signature French Toast @ RM 24. Serve with brioche loaf, brulee banana, homemade salted peanut butter jam, mapple syrup and crispy bacon. What I find it interesting is the pairing of salted peanut butter, banana and broice bread together. A taste of salty, sweet, creamy. Kinda interesting. Best to order 1 portion and share among friends.

I find that this cafe is worth to pay a visit and would I return back? Yes, it had been a while since I last discover a decent cafe that worth to revisit. Could this be one of the cafe in KL? Maybe you guys share with me. I would say easily top 3 in Bangsar.

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.

A threadfin fish to be steamed, clams, prawns all for my spicy fried mala dish later on the night.

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.
