Bubble tea fever is high! If you travel to certain countries in Asia, you will get to see bubble tea street. However over the months. Bubble tea industry is taking over Malaysia by storm.

Taipei Taipei @ Sunway Giza, Kota Damansara

21/03/2017 No Comments

Not too sure how many decent Taiwan food we have in Klang Valley. One of my frequent visit outlet over past 2 years is Taipei Taipei. One of a restaurant that been serving quite consistent Taiwanese food.

This outlet is certainly classic as the interior resembles all the way back in 80’s.

Most of the classic street Taiwanese food is available in this menu. Of course price is slightly more expensive however the size is decent.

This is one of my favourite milk tea as I will always ended up two glass. Brown Sugar Tapioca Milk Tea @ RM 8.90. Love the creaminess and fragrant of tea in it. Pearl is pretty classic that is chewy to my liking.

One of their signature dish is this Taiwanese Style Marinated Pork Chop with rice @ RM 15.90. A type of mix bowl Taiwanese rice that is filled with pork chop, tofu, egg and mix fermented sour veggie. Dip with their special soy sauce and mix it all around is flavourful! Portion is pretty decent too as the pork is thick and juicy.

Another of my classic favorite is their Spicy Sour Noodle with Pork/Chicken @ RM 14.90. It seems that the noodle is more like hand pulled noodle which is smooth and silky yet did not overcook it. Sourish spicy spice and chili added on top is nice and fragrant that gives you a nice push of spicy in your taste bud.

Original Cake (源味本鋪) @ Sunway Velocity, Cheras KL

08/02/2017 5 Comments

Picture credit to – Original Cake

Who would have thought the next latest crazy hype is a simple homemade old-fashion egg sponge cake from Taiwan known as Original Cake had landed at Sunway Velocity, Cheras. Origin from Tamshui, Taiwan (臺灣淡水) that started since 2011. The hype for this shop is simply amazing that have created a huge buzz among all my friends and even week days, you have to queue 2-3 hours to get one. If I am not mistaken, I was told each person can only purchase 1.

I was lucky that my friend help me to make a take away. Love their packaging.

As I open the box, the cake sure do look a simple classic cake that we have locally and easily could get in our pasar malam too. Currently they have 2 flavours as the one my friend got for me is Classic @ RM 18 and another flavour that alot of my friends is aiming at is their Cheese @ RM 25 – that do have a melted slice cheese cheddar.

Other flavours to launch in the future will be :Spurted Chocolate, Healthy Dried Longan, Banana Milk, Cranberry, and Almond and Nuts

As I pick it up, believe the cake texture have dense up as I do expect soft and fluffy sponge cake. As you can see, the base is also quite thick.

After a bite, only release that it is a pretty normal cake. However, the light and airy taste comes after that. The taste of mild fragrant egg with is there and mild milk sweetness that pairs quite well at the very end of the bite. The base that is quite thick, gives you the bitterness of mild burnt taste, also believe that the separation of ingredient is quite prominent where the top half is softer and the bottom half is more dense. The taste is very straight forward and I believe we can get such cake in our Pasar Malam. In the box, mention that it can store maximum of 3 days in refrigerator.

I believe that, the texture will be different if you eat it fresh. However, I will go again after 3 months as to queue for a cake for 2-3 hours, I will settle with some at Pasar Malam first as my friend told me you can get quite similiar to this in Taman Connought Night Market. Another reason for such a long time will be similiar to when Uncle Tetsu started, baking time per oven.

Taifeng Taiwanese Hotpot (台风台式火锅) @ Plaza Menjalara, Kepong

15/01/2017 1 Comment

I was craving for steamboat and knowing Kepong Bandar Menjalara do have a steamboat street but I was looking for something different till saw a post from VKeong mentioning this hidden place in Plaza Menjalara that house Taifeng Taiwanese Hotpot (台风台式火锅). Indeed it is a hidden place as this place are located at the back of a shoplot.

Taifeng do look legit and love how the built up their interior. Resemblance of Taiwan outskirt family run restaurant.

Many ingredients are homemade.

Sausces area. .

Sauces is not much as the waiter will bring you a mix of their house special sauce which consist of peanut butter, special in house chili flakes and fried dry shrimp. Before mixing in, put a scoop of soup base into it and mix. The sauce is just awesome! I had 4 of it after that.

Being very attentive as the put up a caution note for you where the soup in it will burst in your mouth. Try out their Mix Ball Special @ RM 8.70 with 2each. (double layer pork ball, pork ball with chinese sausage and fu zhou fish ball)

Homemade special pork at RM 17.50

When the soup is at boiling point, the waiter will come by to prepare this bowl and put it into the soup for you.

My chosen soup base for that night is Fermented sour Veggie soup base @ RM 26.50 . Love it, as it is pack with flavour, sourish to my liking yet flavour is not too heavy.

Ingredient here is nicely done up and I am totally impress with their service. Very attentive crew!

Will certainly come back again as the pricing is consider very reasonable.

Two Pesos 两披索靓锅 Taiwan Mini Steamboat @ SS2, PJ

09/06/2016 1 Comment

Two Pesos. A brand that I heard a huge hype over it. There are mix reaction where some of my friend do not like it, and some say they like it. So me and my friend decided to drop by to check them out as Two Pesos is originated from Taiwan, a mini steamboat that every one get one hot pot by yourself. For me I still like my big pot of steamboat to be shared as the more ingredient I added in, the soup gets better.

I reach at 8.15pm and I only got my table at 9.30pm. One thing I realise while waiting is that they did not maximise all the tables where each couple are occupying a table of four, where they easily can filled the table up for table sharing that will cut the waiting time by half. Maybe that is their policy of running a business. With the impression of it is going to be a great hot pot.

Their price is definitely on the winning side along with 12 different types of soup base to choose from.

Unlimited sauce for you to enjoy.

Drinks are so so for both winter melon and ice tea.

My friend ordered Beef Italian Tomato @ RM 16 comes with 1 prawn and 1 fish meat. I guess their Italian tomato is other version where no tomato taste are visible. Soup base is quite bland although it is nicely presented.

If I got a chance to order with bbq set, then this would be my preference. I ordered Two Pesos BBQ Pork @ RM 19..50. I can only say the higlight of this BBQ is their sauce. Great in taste.

Mongolian Herbs was another order @ RM 15.50. Ingredients do look alot as all only come in one pieces or a slice where bottom is a mountain of Chinese cabbage to push all the ingredient up and make it looks like well worth it. Soup base is more outstanding compare to the rest with its unique herb taste.

Meat are decent. . .

Overall, I guess I would not be the right fit of Two Pesos where after reach home, all of us were thirsty for water. With such pricing that they have, we do not mind to pay slightly more to enjoy our favorite hot pot. I would go back for my favourite Taiwanese Steamboat – 神来一鍋 – God’s Delicious Pot at Kota Damansara.

It was quite a let down in terms of quality but they wins in presentation and price (to many peoples perception). It is for you to judge as they have customers who like and they have customers who do not like yet they do enjoy long queue every day.

Head over to their new branch at Kota Damansara as they do not have any queue there yet if you are keen to try.

神来一鍋 – God’s Delicious Pot (Taiwan Style Steamboat) @ Kota Damansara

16/02/2016 3 Comments

I am a big fan of steamboat and was introduce to this shop by one of my best friend which recently became one of her favourite steamboat shop. Hail all the way from Taiwan, a few Taiwanese fell in love with Malaysia and decided to resides here by forming their passion of Taiwanese Steamboat (HotPot) to be introduce to our local community. 神来一鍋 (God’s Delicious Pot) open its door to public since July 2015 and already have high demand for their food.

The cozy restaurant surely do resembles those famous little Taiwanese neighborhood steamboat with its wall are being written by their guest along with their photo. Interior are being design by a Taiwanese and nearly 90% of all the items that you can feel and see in this outlet are all made and ship from Taiwan.

I enjoy seating at the bar area and also the concept of this Taiwanese Steamboat is by ordering individual pot. If you feels that you do not want, you are able to share the same pot and on the sides there are ala carte menu for you to order extra. There are 8 soup base for you to choose from : Pork Bone, TomYum, Milk, Konbu, KimChi, Shacha, Herbal & Taiwan Mala

Price wise you might find it slightly steep for you for a individual pot but I think it is still worth it.

Their special Taiwanese Dip with another 6 more ingredients.

I am in love with their winter melon ice crush. Not too sweet yet it is very refreshing and flavourful.

The base of the sauce is imported from Taiwan where it is a must for all Taiwanese Steamboat and they have tweak the sauce abit. If you do order any meat, this is the sauce that you would not want to miss dipping.

In their set, you get to choose to have noodle or their famous Mince Pork Rice serve with appetizer.

We ordered two pot, one with Herbal Soup base (clear soup and mild herbal taste which is like Taiwan as they are not filled with heavy taste bud) and mine with yin yeong where half is Taiwan Ma Lat (level 1 out of 3 levels) and another half is the bbq pit that serve with a pretty decent size of pork oil.

Love the taste of Taiwanese Ma Lat where the spicy level do not burn your thought and make it numb as they mix with herbal soup and you will feel an instant burning of spicy and will be gone after that. I think level 2 will be good enough for me. *Do not get yourself chocked with the spiciness as you will feel a burning sensation in your throat as I got chocked myself with the soup. 😀

Most of the ingredients that they serve are fresh and I ordered beef and lamb (those of you who do not like the lamb strong taste, you might have to give this a pass.)

Serve along with a pot of vegetable.

each of you will be serve with their special powder from Kimchi, spicy, pepper and others. The purpose of it you can add in by tweaking the taste of the meat that you plan to eat by either adding it into the soup or while during bbq your meat.

Lets eat!

Purple bottle is good for bbq beef that enhance the taste of it. Add in at your own level.

For the noodle, we where thought by the restaurant Manager Kelvin where his favourite way of cooking this is by cooking it into the soup base till the noodle is nearly soft, then move it to the bbq pit and fried it for another 3-4 minutes depending by adding kim chi powder (yellow bottle) also a scoop or two of soup base on each 2 minutes.

Noodle is springy and fragrant. A great way to end the meal.

Eating Steamboat to me must always paired with beer and best of all they serve Taiwanese Long Chuan Beer which is similiar to Tiger Beer.

For dessert, you get to choose puddings as I chose Mango and Cappuccino.

My bills total up at RM 110 for 2 pax and a can of Taiwanese Beer which I find it very decent for the quality that they are serving and it is pretty good to me. This place have also climb into my top 3 places for steamboat.

If you visit this place on weekend, I would advise you too make a reservation (with only 10 minutes holding time), if you miss the boat, average waiting time as what mention by my friend is 30 minutes to 90 minutes. Weekdays is still pretty decent.

Remark: Best part is if you do bring BYO, there is no corkage charges. Especially those bring wine, they do not provide any wineglass. best if you bring yourself. they only have normal glass.
