[repost from year 2011] – updated pictures with all broken links.

In this neighborhood, I always thought that the area only I know is on the Food Foundry area that side which only filled with food to hunt. . never did I know that actually there is another small kopitiam area located on another side of it which is quite famous for its lunch crowd among all my colleague and one of the shop that they introduce me which is Hong Seng Kopitiam which is famous for its BBQ Pork (Char Siew) and also their Chicken Rice..

Chicken Rice (1)

Left office around 12.30pm where was told to head there earlier to avoid the crazy queue. When I reach, the queue is already up to the next 2 shop lot.

Chicken Rice (2)

Chicken Rice (3)

Just a simple chicken rice stall like that which is only famous for its BBQ pork can attract many pork lovers out there. Roast pork hanging and the feel and look of it doesn’t attract me much, also decided to give it a try.

Chicken Rice (4)

Chicken Rice (5)

Then we order the Char Siew of 6 pax, that comes in whole big plate like this with a bit mix of Roast pork and chicken was not in the list cuz they said its not good. BBQ pork is good, with burn end is crisp, soft juicy meat that well coated with their own special sauce and I just cant stop eating it. Roast Pork did not impress me that much as I had better ones before, as here the head is not that crispy as I like and the meat is quite dry  even though the meat with fats are my type just doesn’t give me a kick in it.

Chicken Rice (7)

Ahhh, this sure impress all of us, sour and spicy soup, which is quite sour enough that boiled till a bit messy with the ingredients and just lack of not spicy enough. If it had add a bit more of dry chili then would be perfect but no complain as their version win a lot of places.

Chicken Rice (9)

Then I saw next table order some pig innards then I was wondering where to order that, its located behind section operate by a old uncle that sell s porridge and I order pig intestine which is good! Chewy, and flavorful from the soy sauce he is cooking. RM 8 for this portion which is pretty reasonable. . .

Chicken Rice (8)

Our whole lunch meal comes to a total of RM8 per pax after divided out with 6 pax.. which is a good value and satisfy . . I would say, just attack the BBQ pork here, do try out others too if you like . . Just be there early to avoid the heavy lunch crowd at 1pm.

I have always been a fan of Vietnamese food, as I had alot nice one when I was at oversea. Well, still nothing to be compared. When this shop open few years back, I have heard much good feedback from my ex colleague when they went to dine there with clients. One of the set back was, its a bit pricey to dine there then timing was right a while ago as they were doing promo and decided to stop by with a group of friends.

sao nam (1)

Sao Nam is easily located at LG of Empire Shopping Mall.

sao nam (2)

sao nam (5)

For a Vietnamese Food, they really offer quite a unique range of food compare to any other restaurant that I have been too.

sao nam (8)

Of course when you are in this shop, Prawn Spring Roll (6pcs) @ RM 18 its pretty classic item to order or one of the dish that represent Vietnamese food. Roll up pretty well with the sauce to dip along and prawn is fresh~

sao nam (9)

I am not sure I put this name on the correct picture or not as Banana Flower & Chicken @ RM 20 its one of a good appetizer to start off with. It was gone within seconds as it has a bit of sourish, and sweet end. Just perfect.

sao nam (10)

I read many review, this is one of a dish that highly recommended by many people and same goes to me. Mangosteen & Prawn Salad @ RM 32 is a very unique salad that I have come across, they used Mangosteen to pair it as we thought it was weird at first then, the flavour is sour with their special sauce make it very good to go along with the prawn.

sao nam (11)

Vietnamese Pancake @ RM 26

sao nam (12)

When this is serve, it looks and smells good but taste differently. Part of it is with the dressing that they have in there. I do not really like it but some of my friends love it.

sao nam (13)

Rice Rolls Lotus Leaf (6pcs) @ RM 21

sao nam (14)

 

sao nam (16)

If you are having rice and Lamb Curry @ Rm 34 is a must order. Thick in curry gravy with lamb cubes are cook till soft. A bit sweet and spicy and those of you do not like the taste of lamb do not order this. Its quite strong even you can smell it, according to my friend.

sao nam (17)

Chicken Lemongrass @ RM 20 is another dish that you can consider even ordering. The soup that cook along is fragrant with mild lemongrass taste that I would rate it like Steam Chinese Wine chicken but this is Vietnamese version.

sao nam (20)

Imperial Lotus Leaf Rice @ RM 18

sao nam (21)

Sweet Potato Leaves @ RM 12

sao nam (22)

Friend Tofu @ RM 22

sao nam (18)

sao nam (19)

In Vietnamaese Food, of course we must try out their Hue Beef Noodle Soup @ RM 18, soup is sweet with thin noodle and few beef slices to go along. Pretty good though.

No doubht that this place do provide nice Vietnamese Food, and if you are willing to pay a bit more, you can even consider this place for dining.

I am very sure that many of you or 90% of you out there have dine before in Old Town White Coffee, which I have one in my office area in Jaya One. We often have headache during lunch time and when I suggested Old Town White Coffee Signature for breakfast or lunch most of them reluctant to go along because of the food quality.

When I received an invitation to review on Old Town White coffee food I am very surprise and why do they need to do a review since its pretty well know. Then decided to give it a try to check what is going on.

Old town (1)

Heading to Old Town White Coffee Signature outlet in 1-Utama which, there are only limited outlet and food choices in here are more.

Old town (2)

They event do sell your favorite coffee pack and instant.

Old town (3)

Old town (4)

Menu in here is definately different compare to those normal Old Town White Coffee Outlet and pricing also different which is slightly more expensive.

Old town (5)

Range in here are 20% more . . .

This is one of their latest edition to their new range of food product.

Old town (6)

Ice blended range is very impressive which is totally out of my expectation. Flavors are blended well and not too sweet, surely for a price like that its worth recommending at RM7.90. I love their mint series.

Old town (7)

Garlic Butter Toast @ RM4.60. Sometimes I do take this for breakfast and its pretty much different compare to their normal outlet. Its much stronger in taste and the small of garlic while its serving already tempt us.

Old town (8)

Fried Dumpling @ RM5.90

Old town (14)

One of my favourite when I was introduce by my colleague during tea time is their  Curry Puff @ RM4.90 as she bought as many as 20 pieces to treat all of us. Its slightly pricey of course but when you have the nearest outlet then this is one of the obtion. Ingredient in there is pretty generous.

Old town (10)

This is the first time I see they do have Tomyam Rice in the menu and decided to try it out. Smells good and taste nice, not to strong of tomyum spices which is just nice and rice is fried with wok hei. @ RM 11.90

Old town (11)

Their signature item which is Supreme Rendang Chicken Nasi Lemak @ RM13.50

Old town (12)

Supreme Javanese Mee is pretty good too. Gravy is thick enough and well presented, surely I wont mind to order [email protected] RM9.50

Old town (13)

oh, this is the star dish of the night that caught many of our atttention, even with some say you serious wanna order this. I say why not give it a try. Came out every one finish this dish within seconds. For a Halal Fried Kuey Teow in Egg Gravy/”Wat Tan Hor” @ RM10.90 it taste marvelous. Fill with ‘wok hei’ with gravy just thick enough to pair along with the koey teow. Surely one of the best this in the whole menu and I did came back dine again on this dish after our review. It still taste good in this 1-U outlet. (others I have no idea) – highly recommended~

Old town (16)

Strawberry Snow Ice @ RM6.90

Old town (18)

Peanut Snow Ice @ RM6.90

Old town (17)

Mango Snow Ice @ RM6.90

 With their new desert on the menu not long ago, its a great addtion and among 3 flavours I like Peanut and Mango. Soft shave ice, just nice for our hot weather (opps not, rainy season)

Technology certainly evolves our modern lifestyle as I observe many people are already catching up on the habits of shopping online. One of the recent thing my colleague mention “I do online shopping when I am stress at work, as there is no where I can move around in the office”.

Therefore, consumers now are looking on their options especially shopping in Malaysia by comparing prices. Shopping smart is always one of their term.

Money are hard to earn nowdays. That is why there are many bargain hunters out there. Not only that, as there are a few sites that offer great value buy and the latest one is Pricepanda.com.my. A website that enable you to compare prices. A portal that offer mostly electronic products online ranging from Cameras, Mobile phone, computers, software, Tv, and Video Audio system.

Pricepanda.com.my had just launch in the market that started of in both Malaysia and Singapore for Asian market. Soon, they will expend their service into more countries and will add additional merchants as well as product categories successively. During the first weeks of operations in Malaysia and Singapore, Pricepanda already cooperates with a significant amount of top local online electronic retailers such as Shashinki, Challenger, Fotokem, Mobile Megamall, Youbeli, Mobile88, Lazada and Cresdo. At the same time the number of quality products on the site just in Malaysia has grown into over 2000 individual items.

With all great products and merchant on board, best of all as consumer as I have mention, they are a site that can compare price easily as what we consumer needed instead of doing a survey on some website. Right as below:

Just select on the device/item that you like to buy click on it then it will come out with a list of other sites that offer the same product at different prices. As the cheapest rate, indication of the RM sign will be in Green.

What you waiting for. Just long into www.pricepanda.com.my to find out more.

Some of my followers you would have been realise that recently my blog is field with some advertorials. One of the reason is I learn something from this book by Alan Tan. At this moment, Premium bloggers surely can generate good income for them, newbie like me, I was lucky to know some new friends and they have assisted me. ThereforeI would like to share along a book to make your track even faster if you are in this industry. Let guide you back how I started.

Blogging sphere now 2012 and the beginning era of 2003 when all the senior blogger start blogging, it is a different scene now. I started to pick up the trend of blogging at year 2005 whereby I see many bloggers write about many interesting personal life stories and I ended up starting 1 too at 2005. At that time only 3 post I gave up. One of the reason is that, I find blogging lame and its weird to tell every one what you are doing. 3 years later which is 2008 I pick up blogging again and decided to focus writing on food as I just love food a lot. At that time I just came down to KL and constantly ask new colleague for nice places to eat. Then I started to jump back into blogs again as I find blogging reviewer is more accurate than those in newspaper or magazine, even though they are not professional. Again food taste bud is very subjective. My intention is to help and promote food, even though it is bad is to educate people not to order those few dishes.

As year 2012 now, the trend of blogging had evolved too throughout the years whereby you hear some bloggers are earning quite big bucks over by blogging, some went full time and even new term called celebrity blogger!. I used to follow KYspeaks, Kennysia, Cheeserland, Xiaxue as I regard them as premium bloggers and also the way the write on their blog. Then I started to have the thoughts of how to make money like them?

I learn many ways in the beginning and read in forums how. I have learn many internet terms during the process and further understand what people by mentioning beginning or pioneer is always the hardest as there are no one to guide.

As bloggers are mushrooming over the country, there are new book that will definitely help out along on junior bloggers by Make Money Online by Blogging by Alan Tan. Its an interesting book, that helping me to make me set back to path again on what I have forgotten, and one thing I dislike is many people often think that blogging is very easy. On surface, everything seems easy and when you learn the mechanics of it, it is not so easy afterall..

I must say  it’s a great book for new bloggers to go after, as it teach all the necessary basic on why, how and growing your blog. With the book guideline it is easy to be on track. Its basic things that you must know that I would rate it as Blogging 101. . :D. It is easy, simple and no layman term to bring you thru.

I also did not know about this term until one PR company told me about it few months back. In this book also guide you thru top 4 plugins that you must have, SEO, and many more. Along with many other tips like, article marketing, promotion and traffic generation, social bookmarking and many more. Got a few more tips with this book . .

Besides that, I never thought that I would blog for 3 years. Yes, now my blog is 3 years old and I never thought that I would have do it this far. Blogging this far is not easy as I blog 5 days a week unless I went off for a trip and also, being interview was set in my target in food blogging and Alan Tan had made my dream come true by giving me an opportunity of the online interview.

Blogging is never easy task as we have to edit pictures, do content write up, attend event as it takes up alot of efford to maintain one and also persistent. This book certainly make your life much easier and can be purchase in any bookshop. I got mine for RM 39.90.

In my 3 years blogging I have met many new friends and fans, hope to see all of you~ Thank you for supporting and dropping by.

Every year during Ramadan month, I love to hunt for pasar ramadan and I have been to a few that is quite dissapointing around my area. Did went back to TTDI pasar Ramadan and it seems much smaller this year compare to last year as they cover the whole square. This year is only 1 of the street more like 1/4 of the size last 2 year. (click here). Pasar Ramadan Section 14.

Then my colleague mention to me that, at Section 14 behind the mosque. . She mention that most of the food here are pretty good ..

pasar ramadan (1)

Upon arrival I thought its gonna be a big one and I finish walking within 5 minutes. So walk around and scout which stall to buy . .

pasar ramadan (2)

apparently I realize that most of the stalls here are pretty commercialize that they do branding themselves with banners and some with name card. Impress~

This is one of the stalls that is the most popular in the whole area as they have the longest queue. Penang Popiah . .

pasar ramadan (3)

I didnt know Penang Popiah is in this version . . .dry`

pasar ramadan (4)

It looks messy and messy stalls always serve good food, I didnt try because of the queue,  maybe you can try then let me know 🙂

pasar ramadan (5)

pasar ramadan (6)

Ikan Bakar

pasar ramadan (7)

pasar ramadan (8)

Rendang stalls

pasar ramadan (9)

Texture and colour looks good. Definately smells tempting ..

pasar ramadan (10)

Nasi Beriani Gam . .

pasar ramadan (11)

Looks good though and the stall owner is friendly. .

pasar ramadan (12)

Ayam bakar

pasar ramadan (13)

Among so many stalls, this caught my attention the most, first of all with its name Barbarian Grill Sandwich and I guess since after Burger Bakar Kaw Kaw, you can see many grill stall in Pasar Ramadan and I realise that I no longer see burger ramlee style burger selling . . A change of trend?

pasar ramadan (14)

We decided to give it a try as they have their own home made patty that looks pretty good and price ranges, with Special means just add a slice of Cheeze with additional for RM2 I find it pretty expensive for a stall like that.

pasar ramadan (15)

The look of it certainly is tempting ..

pasar ramadan (16)

this is the Special Beef and Chicken

pasar ramadan (17)

Here it comes with my Beef Special for RM7 top with homemade gravy and mushroom. Meat had grill to perfection that its juicy and moist in there with the cheeze half melted on the patty is just perfect!

If you ask me for RM7 for a small packet like that its pretty expensive with its patty light weight and small if you compare with other outlets. It taste good and worth to try.

this is the only place you can hunt for it as its still on their testing stage.

Food Rating 6/10 do try out the burger . . -stamped-
