Every restaurant has its signature item and in Tek Sen, this Fried Roast Pork is one of their best seller that many customers will have to order if they dine here.

Not many people like this dish, Bitter gourd fried along with salty duck egg and mince meat, as the bitterness of it had prevent many people on liking it including me, I used to dislike this dish yet I have been tought on how to enjoy it. Since then, I do order it when I have the change. A dish that fried simple that bitterness of the vegetable is not too strong and mix well with the taste of salty duck [email protected] RM 12

tEK seng (9)

Another one of their signature range is their curry. So we ordered on their Curry Fish (sting Ray) @ RM 23, As I like how my Asam fish is sourness is stronger and after taste of it is a bit spicy at the end. Curry gravy is not too thick and to mix with your rice to eat along is just perfect~ – Recommended

tEK seng (10)

One of my friend always dine here and he never miss this dish which is 3 steam egg. Different types of egg which is (century, duck and normal egg) to steam on it. A dish which is very simple, fragrant as just add on some garlic oil on top then add on some soy sauce, you will enjoy this simple dish alot~ @ RM 6

At Tek Sen, which is a restaurant that many of my friends love to dine and no doubt too that they have gain international popularity from a few types of magazine came by to feature them. A place to hunt if you are looking for nice homecook meal without disappointing.

On the set back about this place is there are very limited parking space available around the area and no matter during lunch or dinner its always super pack! It is advise to go early to enjoy full range of their food list as the later you went, there will be some dish sold out.

another recommended restaurant in Penang.

Last round when I was in Melaka, we did alot of food hunt and thanks to Jason introduce us one of his all time favourite nan place – Pak Putra. We were already full day of food hunting and this was the last stop before we head back to KL and all of us were already complaining super full max till want to vomit out.

Pak Putra (1)

Pak Putra is famous among local crowd and now which had grown to draw many attention from other local tourist to hit this place for night hang out area which is conveniently 5 minutes walk away from Jonker Street. It is one of a restaurant that serve Indian cuisine which most of the people are mainly coming here for their Chicken Tandori and Nan, at times it can take at least an hour to be served, that Jason mention that they do not have the man power to take charge off after they had expand.

Pak Putra (2)

This is one of the meaning of expansion.

Pak Putra (3)

Pak Putra (4)

Pak Putra (5)

Tandori Chicken was not up to my expectation and according to Jason, it doesnt taste like that, which normally taste much better, which he mention alot of crowd today. Well, still so far my all time favourite Tandori chicken stall is in KL, Ampang area (click here)

Pak Putra (6)

This is another thing must order, which I cannot remember what is the name.

Pak Putra (7)

This is the special nan that Jason ordered. We name it Jason Mumbles Nan!

Pak Putra (8)

AS this is a special customise nan that consist of double cheeze, double egg, double onion, double something else in total with 6 main ingredient to come out this nan.

Pak Putra (9)

Look at how the double cheeze ooze out when we tear it apart!

Pak Putra (10)

This is how much ingredient that we are talking a bout, with one small bites, its rich in taste, and remember that I said every one complain super full, the plate went out to another table never came back. Ended up we order another 3 more this special nan. IT just taste deliciously finger licking good!

Recommended for the nan if you do drop by in Melaka~

I got tempted alot of times when my friends mention to me they found one of the best Ramlee burger stall in KL where some even rate it no.1 in Malaysia. The closest of all devil is Ken! always tell me, kia, lets go tandori chicken which is 2 streets away then go OM Burger, usually already flat out at the Tandori and cant even have space for another burger.

OM burger (1)

It was till this round decided, after Tandori and nan’s we have to check it out already. To head here, its not a easy location to hunt this little burger stall which is hidden behind a row of malay eatery, where even you drive pass by, you would not really notice this 7-11 outlet which the little stall is located.

OM burger (2)

When we reach here, there were already alot of people waiting for this burger and according to the boss, most of them are his regular that are as old as more than 10 years already. This little stall is being operate by the dad and son is helping out and you can see how professionally the son work.

OM burger (3)

The price of the burger really caught me off guard where by, I thought it would be slight more expensive cause its nearby KL city center but it is decently price.

OM burger (7)

Besides on the usual menu, he do have fish, mutton, and oblong version which is slightly thicker than the normal patties.

OM burger (4)

In a stall like that, a huge tub of margarine and mayonnaise is a must!

OM burger (5)

Then when our eyes look at the huge tray of patties were being grill, our jaw dropped! Look at how the patties are being cook. Flooded in high level of margarine and the whole grill area is very sloppy and greasy .

OM burger (6)

My usual order would always be Burger Special with Cheeze, which cost around RM 5 and heard most of the people here order double special. That get me curious and I upgrade mine to double too even though I am super full. Looking at how he fried the egg is just being left in the iron plate that soak with high level of margarine, just let it bubble to cook then place on the patties on top of it.

OM burger (8)

Double special which means it will have 2 patties that you can choose to have 1 patty chicken, 1 patty beef or same choices of double slice. Of course I choose mine a mix, where by a layer of cheeze is smack in between and ketchup were squeeze on top of the patty

OM burger (9)

This is how messy the burger is when it is being placed onto the bread.

OM burger (10)

The most unique part of all, he had include his home made black pepper sauce and best of for the first time in my life, I see this guy squeeze mustard on top of the patty which I have never come accross any except on western deli menu.

After I have the first bite on my burger, I just finish the whole burger in seconds and just wish that I had bought another one. The burger burst with flavour, both of the patties were moist and juicy enough. The sauces of chili, mayonise, mustard all blend in so well with the burger and the bread is soft which I just enjoy every bite of it!

OM burger (11)

This is the stall whereby attracted many people to wait for their burger at least 30 minutes and my friend waited before even an hour!

Well, its well worth to wait as now for street ramlee burger, this stall had just top in my list, also makes it a highly recommended street Ramlee Burger by me~

Well, woke up early next day as Goft was already at lobby waiting for all of us, which she mention to us that we are heading to one of a famous restaurant chain from New York for breakfast which is just directly across our hotel which is Dean & Deluca. To head here is pretty easy, just climb up to the SKY Train Station and just walk across which sandwich in between the 2 exits of the stairs.

One of the reason that Goft bring us here is because its famous restaurant chain from New York that have 16 outlets around in US and another 16 outlets out from US and here is one of the outlet that opens its door to public since mid of last year and according to her, its a must try outlet for us. Well, she also did told us that alot people hype about it, and leave the tasting to us to judge. 🙂

Deluca (1)

Dean & Deluca is well situated in the heart of Silom under the Mahanakton Project whereby will be completed around 2014 that will marks tallest building in Bangkok. It will also share along with Ritz Carlton Residence, Bangkok in it. This area is known as one of a busy business district in Bangkok, so put this place nicely sandwich in between the exit of Chong Nonsi BTS SKY train service.

Deluca (2)

So here we are early morning for our breakfast and it was only 9am which today is the day of their Queens Birthday. So you can do planking right in the middle of the road where no car will hit you.

Deluca (3)

Once we open its door and set foot into this outlet, we know that our breakfast gonna cost us a bomb and it was already packed with people.

Deluca (4)

With interior of high ceiling, concept following back the ambiance of busy cafe in Manhattan, a huge space filled with simple white chairs and tables, share along with minor part of departmental rack right at the corner for you to buy some of their snacks. This place looks like a typical western cafe that smack in high end area to attract those bosses or business people over for lunch or coffee.

Deluca (5)

Deluca (6)

A huge board behind the order counter that design with huge slabs of marble and you place your order right at the moment.

Deluca (7)

Deluca (8)

Was told that during weekend, they have pretty nice live jazz band that attract many people over to have their wine here and enjoy the music.

Deluca (9)

Then we head to the order counter which we are already drool with saliva after seeing most of the display rack.

Deluca (10)_resize

of course the desert area kill us off but in such early morning, most of us do not have the appetite to eat one of this yet, if we are here during tea time, we will be crazy over it.

Deluca (12)

We were pampered with huge selection of bread and pastries, that get to choose on the spot. Then the girls went crazy, keep pointing, I want this, I want that, please order ahh.. Remember..plz plz. . .

Deluca (13)

 Even bagel were hanging like donuts.

Deluca (14)

If those bread and deli do not attract your attention, then I believe the sample of main selection display right above on the rack will tempt you on.

Deluca (15)

Deluca (16)

At such a nice cafe deli area, it would be wrong if not to order coffee for breakfast and I would say the coffee is well prepared that you would rarely see such a nice smooth froth on the top.

Deluca (17)

Special brew coffee @ 70 bhat

Cuppucino @ 100 bhat

Mocha @ 110 bhat

Latte @ 150 Bhat

Deluca (18)

Annie and her Latte @ 150 Bhat , as I would say the coffee taste is quite a let down for us, that the taste is a bit pale end with a bit bitter after taste. Although, did try out a few selections of coffee before, certainly this are not my preferred choice.

Deluca (19)

Early morning, Tatt already order such a meal that makes his taste bud awake by ordering Lime Prawns @ 275 bhat, 2 prawns that served along with greens and shower with some of its gravy, not a bad choice, for sour and bit of spicy taste in the morning. Prawns are fresh too.

Deluca (20)

My choice, I start off with plain Meat Panini @ 220 bhat. I find that its too heavy for me, as the serving is huge, good enough to share for 2-3 pax and its quite salty because many layers of hams and cheeze melted on it. The bread is quite dry as I believe its meant to be in this way, and I think its best to order something else.

Deluca (21)

Next the girls order Double Egg and Sausage Sandwich each for  275 Bhat.

Deluca (22)_resize

They ordered 2 portion and they are shocked when see the servings of it which is pretty huge. Collen and Nancy were having fun time on playing with the bread as they keep saying, how to go into my mouth, so wide and huge, then Tatt give it a try. . .

Deluca (23)_resize

Even him also having hard time in biting and chewing as the bread is pretty dry that just smack 2 eggs and sausage along.

Deluca (25)

Salmon Bagel @ 250 bhat

Deluca (28)

This was the hit among all of us, with generous slices of salmon given along with bagel and the sour cream is nice, not too sour and creamy which is just perfect, well toast and prepared.

Deluca (26)

This Bagel & Scott SMK @ 250Bhat, I do not really know how to enjoy this, I gave it a bite and pass but Steven enjoy every bite of this.

Deluca (29)

The super star among all dish that ordered. French Toast with Bacon @ 250bhat, was gone in seconds when it was place on the table. Well toast and fried along that coated with layer of egg and a layer of honey tat make it a bit sweet salty, crispy on side then eat along with bacon is just perfect! – Recommended~

Deluca (30)

New York Cheese Cake was served at the end with Tatt order it mysteriously at 145 Bhat. We left it quite a while to eat our mains first then it start to melt that the texture is a bit off, it was very rich in cheeze that we love it, with the crust is crispy just as the cheeze cake as we expected it, best to eat it while it had been served or out from the fridge.

Deluca (31)

Goft trying to be cheky .. .

Well, the whole experience of New York choice of breakfast is the typical type of western breakfast I would say, with panini, and dry bread that can be expected, well ..  if there is a hype on it, I guess maybe you guys can give it a try on their mains that looks pretty good on the display rack, do expect that it will cost a bomb as this is one of the most expensive breakfast we had that cost us 2950 bhat for 6 pax.

It is one of a recommended place from me if you want to try classic western breakfast for the first time but be willing to be pay for the price of it, and the ambiance. On my second thought, I think you can spend the money else where for better breakfast at that kind of price.

One of the local delights that I keep bugging my friend to bring me is one of their favourite shop that serve super spicy food which I did not know until I have tasted it. Taliwang Bersaudara

Taliwang (1)

The restaurant deco feels a bit modernise kampung style with wooden walls. . . .

Taliwang (2)

as most of the people here eating with hands with more towards their culture and did not really switch on fan also . .

Taliwang (3)

Bamboo partition, ceiling deco and chairs with wooden tables  .. . .

Taliwang (4)

The price of food is prett reasonable . . . .

Taliwang (5)

One of the must order dish is this ‘Ayam Palecing Taliwang’ well grill and spread with their own home made chili, definately will bring you to the edge of sweat and get your tongue to get numb, the taste of chicken is good, well marinated and the meat is soft. .

Taliwang (6)

Then  my friend told us that, if not enough spicy can add on spicy as she order another place of ‘Sambal Ayam’ which is not my league. . . I surrender. .

Taliwang (7)

Then to blend the spiciness flavor, my friend help us order ‘fried duck salty egg’ for us to add on and surprisingly the taste turns out to be good, saltiness and the spiciness just blends in and goes along well with rice.

Taliwang (8)

Pelacing Kangkung, added on with bean sprout is another spicy dish and the spicy level is mild and by this round I had already finish 2 bottle of Teh Bottol . .

Taliwang (9)

Among all level of spiciness, this is the most kick ass, by second small bite, my sweat and tears just flow out and this is by far one of the most spicy food I have come across, SUPER SPICY yet  the spiciness is a bit addictive as it is very fragrant with a bit grill taste from the chicken, just by this 2 bite I finish another bottle of Teh Bottol. .

 

Taliwang (11)

By the end of the meal I had total of 5 bottles of drinks, which I did not even finish my rice and other dishes that it was too spicy to handle and eat till my lips also ‘chong’ like sausage already. The other 2 person was like, hah? Spicy kah uncle? I told them you guys are not human, eating chili like licking ice cream . .

Well, to those who really love spicy food, this is one of the Bandung local food that you must visit . .
