No Comments

As previously we were busy shopping all day long (click here for last shopping post), till it start drizzling outside then we came into Siam Paragon – Ootoya Japanese Restaurant for a stroll to see how a shopping mall different from Malaysia.

After a short stroll, we were all starting to get hungry as Goft plan to bring us to street food opposite this mall, because it rained, we had to dine in. As we scout around for nice food, Goft recommed us 2 place which is  a place for steak Tony Romas, which is a big no no as it is available in our country . .then next she suggested:

ootoya (1)

After reaching the place and just by looking at their displaying set outside the restaurant, all of us become hungry.

ootoya (2)

Ootoya Japanese Restaurant that is one of her favorite place to dine also which is located directly next to the food court, that had this little open concept area nearby the food court. After I google up I also found that they have a few branches in Singapore.

ootoya (3)

Did not know there are so many people, and we were told to be seated and wait for another 4 more numbers then reach us. While waiting, and all of them were so hungry, and have to start hunting in menu to find what we want, and once we were seated down, the waiter did not even move away as we were pointing here and there for the order.

Price wise pretty reasonable that ranging from 120 bhat – 500 bhat.

ootoya (5)

I like their green tea because there are a slight burnt taste of brown rice that I always prefer my green tea to have.

JoJo Little Kitchen, Pan Mee @ Kuchai Lama

16 Comments

It is not easy to find something cheap and nice to eat for lunch or dinner, but when me and I my friends keep trying restaurants around Kuchai Lama area, I could not help to notice this shop JoJo Little Kitchen Pan Mee which is always sardine packed with people during lunch time, and according to my colleague, its cheap and nice, that is why its always pack.

Jojo

Not until recently already do not know what to eat around that area, decided to give it a try at this shop since its recommended by them and read quite a number of good reviews on this shop and they have been opening branches in a few places.

Jojo (2)

We reach the shop early and nearly all the tables are already occupied. A simple interior, that decorate the place with wooden tables and chairs, walls painted with colours to look cheerfull.

Jojo (3)

When I look at the menu, the price is reasonable cheap with a standard selection.

Jojo (4)

If you are a fan of pan mee and chili lover, you will know what mixture of chili should be added into your noodle.

Jojo (5)

‘Fried Pork’ @ RM 6

A big slice of pork being fried and cut into slices after its done, that the outer layer is crispy and find it that it is a bit overcook, and if they were cook not that long, the pork will definitely taste good, not a bad dish after all.

Jojo (6)

‘Hot and Spicy Pan Mee’ is something that most people would  not want to miss if they are out of idea what to order. The look itself is not does not feel spicy as comes with mince pork, with half boil egg and added chili flakes ourself. Then you mix all the ingredients together, turns out to be very nice, with noodle cook perfectly and the taste of mince pork and chili flakes with sambal did not over power each other. RM 5.80

Jojo (7)

‘Curry Laksa Pan Mee’ been always one of my favourite and this taste pretty good too, with curry soup is not so thick, chicken is very soft and juicy, and overall it suits my liking. RM5.80

Jojo (8)

‘Traditional Pan Mee’ that will serve with slices mushroom, anchovies and mince pork. RM5.50

Jojo (9)

Then we decided to go for something adventurous by trying ‘Herbal Chicken Pan Mee Soup’ which turns out to be pretty good. Soup base of the herbs which is just nice (not very strong in herbs taste) and together with the noodle that cook till just right, my colleague drink till the bowl clean. RM 7

A place that worth a try and recommend for the price, portion and quality, I surely would not mind to come back again.

Please do come early to this shop as when we left around 12.45pm, there are already a lot people waiting outside and waiting for tables during lunch hours to avoid disappointment.

Ah Tee Authentic Pan Mee @ Jalan Klang Lama

15 Comments

In KL, there are a lot of famous pan mee, most of the stalls they do have variety of flavours to choose from and I still like the authentic ones not until recently Ken introduce us a very kick authentic pan mee located at Old Klang Road. Ah Tee Authentic Pan Mee The stall is park under a very small hawker center which has no name but painted green in colour.

The recipe came from his grandfather that had been selling pan mee for the past 30 years and had pass down to the dad, mother in laws and now the son, had taken over to operate it for pass time, and need not to support their kids anymore.

Pan Mee

This is how the stalls looks like by the road side.

Pan Mee (2)

Besides selling Pan Mee, he also sell ‘Home Made Or Kuih’ and ‘Popiah’.

Pan Mee (3)

The ingredient that going to add into pan mee, just so tempting that I just cant wait to have a bowl by myself.

Pan Mee (4)

The owner with the name Ah Tee is preparing our hot bowl of pan mee, I just feel that his hand is made of metal, that such a big flame and his hand is able to just right above it in adding in the ingredient.

Pan Mee (5)

While waiting our pan mee, Ken order ‘Or Kuih’ which is very soft and filled with yam and dip with the chili sauce is yummy~ and the ‘Popiah’ I have tasted better ones before.

Pan Mee (6)

One of the secret of this stall which is homemade ‘Sambal’ as there are 2 types of it; one which is not very spicy to dip along, but what we find it interesting is the one behind is recommended to all of you who loves very spicy which is the ‘flaming hot sambal’. Eat it with care, that might choke you easily because of the spiciness and once you got choke, you will be very high! Tears all over and 3 glass of water would not help you to ease it.

Pan Mee (7)

This is our ‘Pan Mee’ and add extra anchovies for extra  umph! The noodle can be ordered according to the size you one, but the authentic way is to eat by hand peeling from the flour.

Pan Mee (8)

I just love the taste of it, as it is very flavorful and strong anchovies taste as one of the secret that I found out was, he took the fried anchovies to blend it till ashes and while cooking till the end, he added it in and stir to dilute the ash anchovies to blend into the soup, then add in the marinated pork slices.

Next step, you can either eat or dip along with the flaming hot sambal or add the sambal into the soup to make you sweat all over and tears flowing out.

As the stall operates by himself, he sell ‘Tong Sui’ only or you can order some drink by the coffee shop next to it.

Pan Mee (9)

‘Fu Chuk yi Mai’

Pan Mee (10)

‘Lo Han Guo (mata kucing)’

Cannot deny that, this is one of the best Authentic Pan Mee that I have eaten so far, and we have went back a few rounds continuously after that, as it was rainy season and eating a bowl of hot  aromatic pan mee is hard to resist as RM 5 for a big bowl is very cheap.

Restaurant Kin Kin, Pan Mee @ Pandan Indah, Cheras

No Comments
I just go through a few blogs to find the address for this and didn’t know that this shop is actually a hit in the town with the taste and especially the chili flakes. This place was introduce by my friends when we were hunting for our company dinner dress.

Kin Kin

Kin Kin (2)

Their signature which is, this very chili flakes that a lot of people just add on many table spoonful of it onto their bowl but I felt that there is nothing fancy on this flakes or I would say there are actually a few shops are better than this.

Kin Kin (3)

‘Mix of Pork and Fish Ball’, loves the springy feel of both flavor as what I preferred. Pork ball is abit solid yet gives me the compact bite of it and not a big fan of fish balls yet it does gives the soft springy feel.

Kin Kin (4)

‘Soup Pan Mee’ taste not bad with the taste of anchovies that gives a bit of salty inside the clear soup yet flour taste comes from pan mee, added on with mince meat added on the flavor.

Kin Kin (5)

If you do not like soup base then you should try their ‘Dry Pan Mee’ which I prefer more than the soup base. I have mine added on with the semi boil egg.

Kin Kin (6)

I did like what other people did just by adding on the chili flakes, its just not bad after all to make the taste slightly better.

With the price tag around RM5-RM8 I would say its not a expensive place to eat in with their prompt service there is actually nothing to complain about.

Tong Sui @ Sg Wang

No Comments
After very disappointed lunch and still hungry cuz did not finish the meal and thought of having desert here, again as alot of times I passby saw quite alot of ppl and the food they offer seems good.
The food stall is mange by 2-3 auntie, thought that ppl around that age would cook good food. As I look around alot of ppl are eating the Nasi Lemak which I think is their signature food. Judging from the Nasi Lemak it is a very plain, just with egg, nuts, anchovies and sambal. Do not look tempting to me.

This is the look of the stall.

From the picture of the ‘Tong Sui’ it sure look very nice and so to be happened that on that day itself I forgot to walk over to see the quality of the ‘Tong Sui’ as you can peek at the counter where they warm it with rice cooker.

This is what I order ‘Yi Mai Fu Chuk‘ (front) and ‘Black Glutinous Rice with Coconut Milk’(back)

To my dismay, I was like so watery till ike drinking water. Do Not look like tong sui at all! The ingredient that they gave in there is like 1/8 of the bowl the rest is water. Too little. The taste totally gone..no sweetness or the taste of fu chuk or bali. Hopeless drink. I only manage to drink 3 sip.

This is the ‘Black Glutinous Rice with Coconut Milk’. By looking at the picture will know that it is a bad 1. I have never seen such tong sui before. Not sticky, the coconut milk like mix with water as the colour of it is so pale.

The ‘Bak Chang’ also not nice, it is dry, full with nuts and abit tasteless. Quite expensive for noting much in a chang. Only nuts, salted egg yolk and mushroom.
Total for the 3 item is RM10 which is WTF!!! with the quality they are serving. Just not my lunch day. Eat every thing also tasteless and down loh~~~
Just wondering, the food is so not nice, why is it still so many people?
