Tutti Frutti @ Sunway Pyramid

No Comments
Recently I went to Pyramid and meet up with Masako as she said she wanted to get a camera DSLR too and want me to follow her along. As on that morning went for food hunting at Klang and it was on the way so meet her up. After checking out a dummy camera at SenQ(if not mistaken) then I walk out and saw this shop, at first I thought the shop was selling refregirator but then I saw people walking out with something on their hand that can eat. So I walk over and kaypo abit only realise that it was a yougurt desert shop then only notice their brand name.

Never heard of the name before but never care and wanted to try, and after google it a bit and found out that this yogurt desert is from USA and a franchise around the world. Sunway Pyramid being their very first outlet and it will expand quite fast as this Franchise was recently purchase by NAZA group.

When I look back at this picture, I still think that from this side view witout looking at the counter it still look like a place selling refregirator..kekek
First step you will take a cup from the side area, ranging from small to big and then you will head to these machines to pump out your favourite choice of yogurt flavor or you can mix around. It feels like you are working inside the MacD kiosk ice cream counter.

7 flavours are available at the moment.

Masako pump out 3 flavours, Chocolate, Lychee and Original.
I love 3 of the flavours, very flavourful with its own taste and the yogurt is very soft and very strong yogurt taste which I like it and did not overpower the flavors of it. It will be only my one time experience as it will dig up a hole in your pocket.
Then you head to this very next counter for……………..

Choose and add in your topings.

You can end up with these.

and you definately must guess how much is this cup of yogurt as Masako as us to guess it too. To my shoking price it cost RM20. For such a cup it will be the most expensive ice cream yogurt I ever eaten. How it is calculated as below:
10g for RM0.53

With that kind of price this are the size of the cup which is the medium cup.
and its not full too and both of them said that, luckily it was not me that took the ice cream. They really understand me well. If for me I will pull the ice creal till very high and add on alot of toppings as with my understanding how much will it cost only la.
Then we saw a malay family came in with 2 kids, 2 of their wife’s went to pull the ice cream too and they took a large cup each. They have the same thought like me, pulling it alot and high then top up with alot of toppings and then reach the cashier. 3 of us were very curious about the pricing and keep peeking on it and we start guessing, the same goes to the chinese couple sitting next to us, peeking at it too…
Their charges per cup was around RM39, they got shock on the pricing and ask their husband for extra money. 2 cups of frozen yougurt RM78… I believe its a good marketing strategy which is you cannot refund back the ice cream to them cuz you made it yourself and you have to pay for what you have done.
With their charges like that, I have to say that, they will be the most expensive yogurt desert that is even more expensive than Haegan Das and Baskin.
It sure taste good, but will return back when they change their price.

Durian Food & Desert Encounter – Sri Karak Restaurant @ Section 52, PJ

No Comments

I have always been to this area to hunt for my favorite duck rice. Never knew that, there is another hidden piece of gem inside this area. I was invited by Wilson along with others to try out the food here. After searching in google map it was the area that I am familiar with but I got lost looking for this shop. It is hidden at a street behind the main road which I turn into the small alley.

This would be the first chinese restaurant that I came across that serve Halal food as on that time, there are quite a number of malay dine in the restaurant too during Hari Raya.


I was there early, and took some pictures and found out that this shop do serve durian desert’s. Immediately ‘tinggg’ in my mind that it’s a thing must try. I am durian lover. Anything that had durian in it, I am going for it.

If you are a desert hunter, do not miss this shop too which offer variety of deserts.


If you crave for durian pan cakes, then you can look forward to ta pau, back. Eat it song song at home.

As always I will take the picture of the outlook of the shop. Then the lady that dine in there was one of the customer was so rude asking me don take don take and juling me. Never care on it.

I got excited looking at the menu, as tempted by the food picture illustration.

The very first dish that we got serve directly gives me a great impression as it serve one of my favorite meat, ostrich and it is called ‘Cape Ostrich Koey Teow’ charge at RM9. The meat was fried perfectly good in medium well that still manage to taste the sweet,soft and tender of the meat. The koey teow is fried evenly well with wok hei that blend the whole aroma a great taste.

When this dish was serve, my eyes nearly pop out as it was a huge serving, like serving for 10 people. Then the very next thing that caught my attention was, the owner mention that it was cook with durian. That excites me that for the very first time, there is a dish was actually cook with durian. I find the taste is very interesting, a bit spicy yet sour and the fish meat is soft yet soak well with the taste of the gravy yet my tongue had detected a very mild taste of durian which comes to my liking. ‘Tempoyak Ikan Temerloh Patin’ (Regular RM 40, Medium RM 80, Large RM 120).

Although I am name as taufulou but in Chinese restaurant is always hard to resist taufu. ‘Deep fried bean curd with Homemade Sauce’ (RM 6). Frying the outer layer of the skin to harden it a bit and on your first poke onto the taufu, it shake like you poke onto a jelly, that shows the sign of the softness and when put into your mouth it just taste like as pure as taufufa. The mild sour homemade sauce that pour upon had make the taufu outstanding.

Again, another dish that serve out, my eyes nearly pop out again with 2 big big prawns was putting on top of the mee. ‘Sang Har Noodle’ (RM 9 for 100 grams). I quickly took the picture of it and just cant wait to try out the mee. The temptation is there with such a nice gravy that shower upon on it. The prawns meat is hard and juicy, showing the sign of fresh prawns, the sang har mee I like it very much that the cook the gravy reasonable thick and with an egg that fried along with the prawns just makes the whole noodle taste sweet.

As I know this is one of their signature item and I am surely recommending this.

‘Sri Karak Curry Fish Head’ (Small:RM 25 Large:RM 49) is something that I would recommend too. I love the curry with the spiciness level is there, yet it is quite thick for the gravy(something that I prefer) that eat it along with rice is such a great combination. With the fish head that they are cooking in it, it is quite meaty.

‘Sri Karak Curry Laksa Mee’ RM 6.50 with the price tag stick on it, is something that you would not want to complain, with 2 prawns and some seafood, with the soup base quite thick yet not too santanese and I love my portion adding in a lot of chili.

‘House Special Claypot Chicken’ (Small:RM 12 Large:RM 24). I was quite full when this dish was serve but with the smell flying around making me wanted to try it out. The taste was awesome, I just love the sauce that they are using and with the chicken marinated cook along with the clapot is just as good as it looks.

‘Stir Fried Salted Vegetable and Bitter Gourd’ (Small: RM 8 Large:RM 15). Not a big fan of bitter gourd, but this stir fried had make me eat more than I expected just loving the very mild taste of bitter gourd that did not overpower the taste of the chili and comes to my liking.

After this heavy heavy food meal, definitely I still have room for deserts. What we were told, most of the deserts are involving durians. Then I was like good good.

I felt so privilege when this great desert was serve as it was done by the owner himself for us as it was just out from the oven. He mention that he seldom sells this is because it involves a lot of process and not many people ordering it.

I have to say that this would be one of the best desert as the top crust is abit crispy hard, yet when your spoon penetrate the top layer its very soft in the inside like a bread that soak with a lil of water that is warm. It taste abit like sponge cake in it, amazingly the taste of durian flavor there is strong as I like but adding in a bit of whipped cream just pull up the kickness of it. Something unique that I have tried. Recommended (if the owner is doing it) and I cannot remember the name.

‘Durian Pancake’ didn’t get much of my attention cuz is mild in taste as I prefer it in stronger taste version. Maybe I had taste better one before.

‘Durian ABC’ RM 6 that reminds me the great time for my food hunting when I was in Melaka for this desert. A normal ice kacang that top with a scoop of durian ice cream with ‘atapchi’ and mint leave is something nice in taste. The ice blended is soft and the flavor that added in wasn’t too sweet. Just nice.

‘Durian Tarts’ with solid crust at the side and the strong durian taste as the top layer of the tarts is something that I am expecting, quite a nice flavorful tart.

I got very curious over ‘Durian Bomb’ as the name and I find it like custard bun when you eat tim sum just that this durian bomb have crispy outer layer. If you can just put the whole thing inside your month and eat it, the very next thing that you will realize is that your mouth will be bomb with the durian flavor. . something that I would recommend too as this is also one of the top seller item in the shop.

By the session ends, I was full like a stuff pig with big portion and alot of desert at the end. Can kidnap me and be roasted in rich season flavor. Kekek.

These are the owner of the Karak Restaurant. Very friendly host as they never stop smiling.

pssttt: that is the guy that did the special durian desert.

Yatz was having a great time savoring his durian deserts.

Of course a great meal without a great group of friends would not be satisfying. These people would be, Wingz, Wilson and Racheal, Ken, Timothy and Yatz.

I have thank to Wilson for tagging me along for such a great meal. Definitely this place is in my recommendation list, it’s a hidden jewel in the area.

Loving Hut @ Bandar Puteri, Puchong

No Comments
This week I have been actively google up a few places to eat for vegetarian and this is one of the restaurant that attracted my attention. With a nice cosy interior and a another style of serving Vegetarian food that set food in one of my food hunting area, Bandar Puteri.

As usual, this area is always alot of cars but nothing to worry much as there are alot of parking space available. To pay the ticket is up to you~

A very big logo sign on its ceiling.

A pretty interesting menu that gives me the feeling of a mixture with Winter Warmer’s and Garden Lifestyle stall,1-U.

A cafe kind of concept with wi–fi available.
Rose Lemon Juice: something which you are looking for to quench your thirst, yet could make your face smirk. RM5.80
Snow White: a mild thick juice yet taste a bit near to milkshake. Not bad~ RM7.80
 
Non Alcoholic Beer: If you are craving for beer during this period, this drink definitely can help you to cure it. Sure it has 80% similar to beer with the gas, colour and everything but it had some strong aroma of honey. RM5.80
I have always love to eat sandwich and this is the first time during this period I get to eat ‘Pro Sandwich’ which filled with vegetarian ham, cucumber, tomato and apple slices. At first we were very curious how come there are apple, that makes us think can meh?nice meh? Actual fact for vegetarian sandwich, it is nice. RM6.80
A set meal RM7.80
‘Basil Rice Set’ as the sauce taste good and the basil taste doesnt over power the gravy taste. Just nice. RM7.80
‘Green Curry Rice’ by the look itself, you can already judge how good it is. Too watery like drinking soup, yet the taste is way off. RM7.80
‘Italian Special Meal’ one of the best compare to the rest taste very similar to spaghetti bolognese. Recommended. RM6.80
‘Stew Noodle Soup’ taste a bit off, maybe its because of vegetarian soup base, so errrr….don know how to say. RM6.80
In the picture on the menu sure attracts me to order this. Even on this pic. ‘Mango Snowball’. All of us had tried and concluded with, it is not chill enough, the puree is very thick if add on some snow ice would taste even better, the sarsi jelly and rice ball doesnt go along with it. We did thought of how nice if it was longan. The desert doesnt comes to our liking. RM5.80

Yuet Sum Hin Vegetarian Restaurant @ Jalan Pudu, KL

No Comments
For the first round I didn’t manage to find this restaurant as double K’s told me is along that stretch of Public bank and just right beside it. I have turn in rounds to make sure the place or I wasn’t too concentrate on searching. After the very next day I told them they said cannot be what, then only realize that the last time the dine was few years back. Maybe change location or Chap lap liau (bankrupt). Google it up for a while manage to locate one just on the junction of that street. Since its nearby, so go and try la, it was good and this posting will be my first and second visits of this place. Its located behind Times Square.

This was my very first visit and I came alone as in KL not many people go vegetarian during this festival. Its only a in thing happening in Penang. For me to try out veggie shop is to try out their curry. As, if they can cook a curry well, means the rest of the dish would be good. That’s what I think. So try out their very simple dish.

‘Curry Chicken Rice’ Love the curry, a bit mild spicy yet the thickness level is there, not too watery and the chicken was cook alike. A great single meal. RM8.90, comes with a ‘Lemon Tea or Lemon Coke’ and Ice cream which I think its a great deal.

Then last night I went there again to try out their stir fried. When we reach we were like fulamak! So many people, full house. Luckily there is a table paying at the moment as I was in the hurry. Then looking at the stir fried menu with picture looks good on a few dish also.

We manage to pick:

‘Honey Pork Meat’. The portion is just nice for 2 person and the first bite you will be surprise how tasty it is. The texture is similar to char siew and amazingly the sauce that they use feels like this dish is also been roasted out.RM10
‘Butter mixed Mushroom’, butter taste is there but the chili leaves had overpower most of the flavor yet we still enjoy this dish as to steal some of the gravy to accommodate with rice. RM15

another dish that would be a great companion of a rice.’Ma Po Taufu’ RM10

If you are looking for something reasonable that serve good quality of Vegetarian food, I would surely say this restaurant is in my recommendation list also. What we had would be just nice for a 3 person instead of a 2 person.

San San Vegetarian @ Taman United, KL

No Comments
Since that now is the starting of the Kaw Ong Yah (Nine Emperor God Festival) which yesterday is the first day. So I am going vegetarian for 9 days during this occasion. It is seriously a big headache if go vegetarian in KL not like in Penang, every corner filled with the stalls on the road side, restaurants are packed with people. Google had been my good friend for this upcoming 9 days.

What is the celebration of Nine God Festival you can click on the link provided that I have surf and came across to get a better idea what is this one of a big Chinese occasion.

Nick Chan

Myislandpenang

During this occasion I will mostly blog about vegetarian restaurant that I eat around. This is one of the place that my friend brought me here and its sardine pack. Not really a big shop and the parking is a pain in the ass. You can double park but please put your name and number on the front.

I don remember the name as it is a economy rice style just pick what you want. So this are the things that we have picked up.



‘Pig’s Tail’ the look very authentic yet similar but once bite even though it is vegetarian, it taste about the same but too salty.

This one is quite alright with the peanut is quite soft and its suppose to be as salty as it is.

If it added abit spicy it would taste even better and the veggie is salty good too.

I like this which fried quite chewy on the thing itself yet the sauce is a bit sweet. Did not too deep fry.

Preserve its original taste and lucky thing did not overfried.
2 types of rice you can try out. The white rice and this 1 cannot remember what is the name.
One of my friend tried out ‘Curry Mee’. It looks fiery red but not spicy, added on the whole sauce plate chili. Would not complain too much on the soup cuz its vegetarian.
Would not prefer to come back to this shop to eat unless no choice, cuz in my taste I still thinking of the vegetarian food taste fronm Penang. So its quite a big different. The price in this shop is slightly above average.

Lam Mee, Restaurant Living Food @ Damansara Uptown, PJ

No Comments
It was Sunday and do not know what to eat..then go google up. Found out this place then remember that my friends from Pg brought me there years back. They said that one of the very nice Lam Mee to dine there. Instantly go and kidnap my friend to dine with me.

After agak agak trying hard to remember where is it located and manage to find out at last.

The restaurant does not offer much variety but then sufficient to satisfy you but the crowd is still so pack. Full house from the time we sat till we left.

Looking nearby and found out that at alot ppl ordering the ‘Yong Tau Fu‘ I only ordered, Fried Sui Kow, Fish balls and Fu Chuk. It was so so only. Cost RM0.80 per piece.

This is their famous ‘Lam Mee‘ as previously mention by my friend that it was very nice. Still think that last time its much better compare to now.RM4.50 for this.

This is the ‘Dry Mee‘ which taste not so good. More like mee kicap. Rather disappointing on this one as my friend did not finish the meal also. RM4.50 for this.
