The fried chicken is hard to resist whereby I thought I only wanted a piece and ended up having another 2 more. Fried to crisp and well marinated that make it flavorful. Not a big piece but just nice.

Then Riff told us, Sotong is a must and fried fish. For curry fish head, usually he and bangsarbabe could not finish and since so many of us here, we must eat the fish head. All are good, with sotong is fresh and chewy, well marinated, curry fish head is huge and curry is mild follow with pairing of fried fish. Just perfect.

Now only I understand why its famous because if you wanna get cheap good food, this is one of the place to hunt for it. Limited choices but good enough to please our tummy.

No Comments

Continue our food hunt, as direct after the Wan Tan Mee (click here), then our next station that Jasonmumbles rarely miss when he is back to Melaka is one of his favorite stall, Hajjah Mona Asam Pedas which he rate one of the best Asam Pedas that he come across so many stalls which Asam Pedas also know as one of Melaka delicacies.

Asam Pedas (1)

As I have been to the famous Jonker Street (from Donald and Lily’s Restaurant) and I did not know that by walking distance of around 5 – 10 minutes you are able to reach this stall which is located to the newly build hotel by the river if I am not mistaken.

The Asam Pedas is prepared fresh daily to cater for their demanding crowd. . .

Asam Pedas (3)

Then you just choose what type of fish you want and choose the extra side dish like egg, chicken, fried fish and others.

Asam Pedas (5)

This would be the normal set that every one would order, asam pedas with a plate of white rice and smack with a fried egg.

Asam Pedas (6)

Of course I always prefer mine with salty duck egg . ..

Asam Pedas (8)

Asam Pedas (7)

Famous for Asam Pedas with their mild curry which is not so spicy yet a bit fragrant and perfect to eat with rice.

Asam Pedas (9)

According to Jason, their taste is not consistent as usually he would usually order a plate of Asam pedas to try first as if the taste for the night is at the best, he would order more. . and if the taste is not on par, he would just finish just one plate, and on that night we had, he said that their quality was not at their best so had just only one order.

Best Curry Fish Head, Restaurant Satu Dua Lapan Lapan @ Paya Terubong, Penang

No Comments

During my trip to Taiwan, I met a lovely pair of couple, Nono and Jennifer that I find out they loves food too which is good, then only towards end of the trip realize that his mom actually sell Curry Fish Head nearby my house at Penang, happens to be I was at Penang for a day and drop by at the coffee shop Restaurant Satu Dua Lapan Lapan which is situated at Paya Terubong nearby Permata Sports Complex. Besides the Curry Fish head, there are many other food which is available at the coffeeshop that worth to try and do not put high expecation.

By the name of the stall itself ‘Curry Fish Head’ is a must order which is their signature. According to Nono, the fish were bought daily and choose by his mom to bring back therefore, freshness is ensure.

When the curry fish head is served, I just cant wait to taste it, with the look itself already temp most of us, flaming red color curry, fresh big fish head cook along with it. I love the curry taste, a bit spicy, sour at the end of the tongue and a bit thick in curry with the fish head steam perfectly and cook along, just as I prefer it to be. Definitely this is recommended!

Besides the main dish, his mom is equip with some excellent Nyonya cooking skills too, that cook some side dishes for the day differently to go along with the curry fish head, what we have today, you might not get it the same menu tomorrow, might be repeating the following week or other combination as that is not her main focus.

nono (3)

A simple ‘Fried Vegetable’ that been cook to aromatic and preserving freshness of the vegetable. I finish half of the plate.

nono (4)

‘Fried Chicken’ fried to crisps on the edge and soft on the inside. Dip it with chili sauce is good.

nono (5)

‘Tau Yew Bak (hokkien)- Braised Pork in Soy Sauce’ consider one of the best dish you would not want to miss if you find the right stall. Pork leg and meat had been steam quite some time and I just prefer it to be longer a bit so the skin and meat is softer, after all, curry mix with tau yew, and taste good!

nono (7)

If you have strong taste bud, then you would not want to miss this, ‘Asam Prawn’ fried in a hot wok, with a few asam cook along that makes it very a bit strong in taste but after you peel off the skin of it and eat along with rice, its flavorful~ Recommended

With a stall like that, to cook a nice food is something that I look forward and it was a great dinner organize by Nono and with total damage of RM47 for 4 pax, its definitely a great value. Definitely I will be going back for more especially the curry fish head and only at that time I realize that KL have not much nice Curry fish head compare to Penang.

Hai Thian Restaurant @ Equine Park

No Comments

A few days ago, we went back again to Hai Thian restaurant in Equine Park for a feast again. It was one of the post that I had forgotten to blog about it, that I manage to find back the pictures and now it is a combine post of both event the first one was after Chinese New Year we came here for lou sang and second time was few days ago to celebrate Kebbie’s Birthday. This is regard as one of a recommended restaurant by my colleague. One of the reason I did not blog about it as I do not have the receipt, therefore the name in here is base on my own estimation.During my first trip to this restaurant, I find it very far from my office as it is deep inside Serdang, but when I reach the restaurant I was shock! to see the restaurant occupied half of the stretch of the shop lot, might taken up around 5-7 shop lot to convert it. With the effort, I have rated it as dont play play restarant as it must be a standard to be able to conqueer such a big place.As some information from my colleague as this restaurant is very famous and they had just move to this new premises, as during on the old location, it is always pack!

A modern interior with some Chinese calligraphy printing on the pillar, with high ceiling and a stage, occasionally a lot weddings are held in this restaurant, based on our estimation, it is able to cater up to 80 tables.

Hai Tian (3)

The menu is heavy and the pricing in here are very reasonable.

Hai Tian (4)

Hai Tian (5)

For the first round when I was here, we had ‘Salmon Lou Sang’.

Hai Tian (6)

‘Chicken Fried with dry Chili’, the taste is absolutely fantastic, fried evenly that the chicken is soft and tender yet the sauce that fried along in it makes the aroma stick on the chicken that the gravy is sticky.

Hai Tian (7)

I have eaten a lot of salted egg crab, pork, chicken and others but I have not tried before ‘Salted Egg Pumpkin’ as it turns out to be very good. The salted egg had been finely chopped till its like sand and pumpkin to fried along with it, is just as good as it is.

Hai Tian (8)

‘Chinese Herbal with Prawns and Vermicelli (tang hoon)’ when this pot came over, it was finish within seconds and not enough that we order another pot of it. The soup is very aromatic with chinese wine that did not overpower the herbs taste, just the right amount and taste is very inviting.

Hai Tian (9)

‘Fried Lotus Root, Chinese Pea with Macadamia Nuts’. Fried with wok hei that maitain the freshness of the vegetable and the ingredient of Macadamia nut add the extra umph in it.

Life in Bangladesh Part 2

No Comments
During the period of my stay in Bangladesh, I seriously wanted to try on their street food but its highly advise by my company partners and colleague not to do so, is because their food on street is quite dirty, they scared that our body immune system cant take it and fall ill. Well, the only place I have my food for 5 days in a row is in the hotel restaurant. So it is all one shot of food during my stay in the country.

Honestly, I have nothing much to brag on their food as the food there is something similar like Indian and cross over with some Arab food and also taste much better in our country.

‘Chicken Bryani Rice’

Bangladesh 2 (4)

The ‘Mint Sauce’ is really unique in taste. It’s a bit minty, yet when dip with chicken it taste a bit cold when put into my mouth, a bit sour in yogurt taste but it goes very well with the fried chicken.

Bangladesh 2 (5)

‘Fried Chicken’

Bangladesh 2 (6)

‘Garlic Prawn’ as we nearly had this on every meal because its one of the best and we tried the whole menu and still remains one of our favourite. Cook with garlic fragrance till the sauce had become thick till the prawn had soak taste onto its skin.

Bangladesh 2 (7)

‘Garlic Nan’

Bangladesh 2 (9)

‘Chicken Masala’ that cook with yogurt till its a bit creamy and add on some tomato to blend with it, did not taste weird however it taste good. Soft chicken meat and thick gravy that goes very well with rice.

Bangladesh 2 (12)

Bangladesh 2 (13)

‘Chicken Roti Kebab’ the dry version of our curry chicken but rich in spices.

Bangladesh 2 (14)

‘Mutton Brayani’

Bangladesh 2 (10)

After eating many days of the same dish and it had become boring meal, we did opt for western style, with their ‘Mix Grill’ that kinda dissapoint a little but again cannot compare with our local food.

Bangladesh 2 (11)

‘French Onion Soup’ which I only order during my last meal in the hotel, and only realise that its very good. Rich in soft onion, a bit salty and crouton that bake with the cheeze ontop of it, its top notch.

Bangladesh 2 (15)

‘Spicy Hawaiian Chicken’ taste not bad as it was pan grilled till very nice.

Bangladesh 2 (16)

‘Steak Dine’ which I enjoy my every bite of it. The sause taste good as it taste something like mustard cook with some mushroom sauce and it was cook medium as I prefer it.

Bangladesh 2 (17)

During my lunch, I was a bit lucky to get a taste of their very own local food which is their local fast food which I have requested because during this exhibition I cant really leave the booth and nearby the area there is nothing much to eat except on the lower ground, selling local snacks.

Bangladesh 2 (18)

One of their fast food chain is called ‘Yummy Yummy’ what a name, as me and my colleague keep laughing on it.

Bangladesh 2 (19)

When I open the box, it looks like Ramlee burger, but with the first bite of the burger, makes me finish within minutes. Soft bun and juicy mutton meat with their very own sauce is good.

Bangladesh 2 (20)

Bangladesh 2 (21)

With the next meal of the day, our lunch is from Solna another fast food chain.

Bangladesh 2 (22)

The pizza sure looks like so so, but we have underestimate it as we hope each of us can get 2 slices of it. Had not enough!Bangladesh 2 (8)

and their traffic is seriously bad. The people do not drive according to their lane and its so near that till you wind down your window you can just dodge your head out abit you can lick the window of the car beside it. Their driving skill, damm geng!

Last post will show a bit on street photography and been to their biggest market that will lead a peek of their city life.
