petronas 2

Some of you did see my previous article that weird light invaded Stuttgart follow by Abduction that aliens going after the cars. . Petronas

Now finally the answer had revealed. With the collaboration with Mercedes-AMG, Petronas has finally reveal their latest commercial featuring  2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-powered AMG fueled by Petronas Syntium 7000.

The 2 minutes video is quite interesting with touch screen technology being used in there showing a janitor at a MERCEDES AMG-PETRONAS lab has his eyes on a sleek new AMG machine and the lubricant powering it. Without any hesitation he just satisfy his curiosity by pouring the PETRONAS SYNTIUM 7000, into the engine of AMG 2.0-litre four-cylinder. Automatically the  turbo-powered car response and he took a ride.

Then only realise that its a little alien controlling the guy as it was blown away by the power and performance when he returns to the lab standing unevenly showing the sign of the intensity he just experience. Not being able to fathom the human technology that gave birth to this new species, he quickly gets beamed back to the mothership, grabbing a bottle of PETRONAS SYNTIUM with him.
The technology is so advanced that other planets are willing to do anything to get their extraterrestrial hands on it.
Lets hope On and take THE RIDE as below

Heee, as some of you might have seen my previous post on Famous Yew Char Kuih & Ham Chi Peng that is located next to them, is actually related as I went on the same day. Lets head to next door which is the famous Zi Wei Yuen Steamboat Restaurant which is very famous in Raja Uda. One of the reason they are famous is because of the soup base, which is the only super important ingredient for steamboat.

I have been talking with my family and friends to come and dine at this restaurant for like bout 1 n half years already till date it was all wrong timing and since this round I am quite free and my friends love this restaurant, the agreed without any hesitation since its their favorite also.

To make an efford here, it is highly advise to reach here before 7pm or after 9pm as during peak dinner hours, you have to fight with  many families to get a spot in the area as its super pack.

This is what I mean as those who are standing are hunting for a table, so you better disperse your family members or friends to get a spot.

We lazy to order what is in the menu therefore we go for their set dinner, my friends opted for the most expensive set RM220 that consist of at least 10-14 items if I am not mistaken.

One of the thing that they are famous for is their special signature Fish Head Steamboat that available in two version, with fried fish head or the steam type. We choose the steam type then another attraction is that their soup base is milky version that you cant really find that in Penang and mostly I would say its the KL version.

Not only that, they use charcoal steamboat version to make it more nice. I only have charcoal steamboat when I went back to my grandmother’s village at some where deep in mainland only get to enjoy it.

This is what happen when the pour everything inside and waiting for it to boil as charcoal takes time to make it cook.

Find that the soup base is aromatic and sweet, as you can taste that they really take something to boil it long time to make it there and milky version of soup just make it look interesting. As you refill the soup many times then the soup gets more salty towards the end and the base.

Another thing that best pair with the steamboat is their own homemade chili sauce, that dip along with the ingredient is just perfect.

After a while after the dinner most of us gets very thirsty and I guess that they have added on alot of MSG to make us drink lots of water after that. No doubt that the soup base is good that we drank alot of the soup and just need to drink alot of water hours later. 😀

Its pretty good and worth to try. . .

Just bout 10 days ago, I went to this stall to have durian buffet with my colleague and since then I updated a picture on Twitter and FB, I was scolded and curse by my friend for why tempt them with such King of Fruit in season which makes them drool just by that picture(click here for part 1). Then during that time I was told by a guy that since last weekend they will have more better quality durians from Pahang as previously it was mostly from the southern part, like Johor. . .Since then I did told some of my friend then they directly ask me to do secound round of buffet and last night, I had organise one again and consider it Durian buffet get together part 2~ or SS2 durian buffet

This round I decided to go more premium as last round I just thought that the max was only RM15 and last night get to discover that RM20 you eat more premium quality durian such as Udang Merah and others that those durians can cost RM12-RM15 per kg easily . . without much hesitation direct jump to that. . . and ask them start opening the durians. .RM 20 durian buffet for this round . ..

PRICE:
RM 9 normal durians – guess its durian Kampung??
RM 15 better grades durians..
RM 20 premium grades durians. . (we have this for this round)

Weekdays all 3
Weekend only available RM 15/ RM 20 ONLY. .

* i think this price is applicable to peak season only.. if durian is getting lesser the price will increase. ..

I must say that durian on this round taste much better compare to what I had but according to Jolyn n Lyn when they came by as they dine the RM15 they find it much better as to me I find this is much better compare to last round . . I guess seasonal durian makes different taste in each batch. .

Last night, I had most of the durian better quality in its meat more solid, a bit milky, not too sweet yet you can eat alot bitter ones, there are mixture of yellowish and fair mild creamy colour  . .  not so watery base meat . .

Feeq is another hardcore durian fans as when the durian was open and right infrot of him or I would say right after this photoshoot he just whack the durians like no tomorrow and so fast. . .ko’ed after 20 minutes later. .

*remarks – durians are not meant to eat fast as you eat too fast its hard to digest and feel abit bloated.

Recently my friends are back on form as they had launch weekend buffet tim sum hunting again, and let me start off with second location first as the first restaurant that we went the promo was over. I ask a few of my friends comparing which hotel, they recommend I should try this restaurant first, without much hesitation I book this place immediately as their promotion just start from 1st of May.

The restaurant serve HALAL buffet tim sum for RM55++ with an award winning chef preparing the whole range of tim sum that in house chef was trained in by professional chef in Hong Kong which we know this country deliver great tim sum.

prince hotel

In the menu had variety of 50 items to select from and some of the name in the menu definately eye catching.

prince hotel (6)

‘Cold Marinated Mexico Soy Clam with Szechuan paste’

Served in cold and some of them find it spicy and I find the taste very interesting. cold, spicy yet sour.

prince hotel (10)

‘Pan Fried Vegetarian Bean Curd Sheets Pan Cakes’

Pan Fried till very aromatic, just the way I like it as usually I consume alot of this during 9th God festival.

prince hotel (18)

‘Hot and Sour Szechuan Soup’ – – ‘Congee with Scallop’ – – ‘Tai Zi Heen Shark Fin Soup (limit to one per serving guest)’

If you ask me where to hunt for food, one of the places or area I would recommend is Bandar Puteri, Puchong. There are a lot of restaurant here, but most of them come and go as the competitive level here is very high in for foodie like me, its good as there are a lot of choices but for business is bad as have to keep coming up with new promotions. Restaurant Brother Kuan.

One colleague of mine that she stay around the area that recommend we should come to this shop which is pretty good, without any hesitation, we directly head there as most of us don feel like eating at canteen for that day.

Brother Kuan

Brother Kuan (2)

The place is simple, nice and cozy.

Brother Kuan (3)

Dishes in the menu is not many variety but mostly are recommended.

Brother Kuan (4)

With Ping Ping had dine here before, we leave the choise for her to choose.

Brother Kuan (5)

This is the starter of the day, that Karen and Kebbie bought from a auntie from the front. I love the young mango, its not very sour yet very sweet. Good to eat before meal.

Brother Kuan (6)

Although this look simple, but if you do come to this shop and dine, this would be a recommended dish by me, the ‘BBQ Pork’ had been roast till the outer layer is crispy, layer fats and meat are choose evenly and its just perfect.

Brother Kuan (7)

‘Hailam Chicken’ that something is simple and nice with soft tender meat and smooth chicken skin add on with some ginger is just as good as it is.

Brother Kuan (8)

Ahhh, this is my favorite of the day, ‘BBQ-Pork Omelette’ as not many people can fried an egg very aromatic that egg taste blends well with the bbq pork, onion and some vegies. I wish I had 2 of this. RM 6 Recommended~

Brother Kuan (9)

If you are looking for something clear soup to go along, this would not be a bad choice to go after. ‘Bayam with Superior Soup’ RM 8

Brother Kuan (10)

One of the unique taste of the day ‘Roast Duck with Herbal Sauce’ as I always eat roast duck but never with herbal sauce. The flaver blends in pretty good but do not expect the meat to be as aromatic that just roasted out but its another taste to enjoy. RM15

Brother Kuan (11)

‘Miss Fried Fish Paste’ @ RM 8, deep fried perfectly, that a home made fish paste feel is there.

Brother Kuan (12)

This happens to be another in demand dish as ‘La Chi Prawns’ was put down on the table, I was not fast enough as Kenji already stole one of the prawn as it looks too tempting. It is quite spicy (those who cannot eat spicy, please request to reduce it) and solid prawn meat that been fried along with the sauce and spiciness level is there just makes the prawn very good. RM25

Brother Kuan (13)

During the whole meal, the chef and another lady been observing me for very long time and curious of me why keep taking picture and not long after that the chef which is also the owner Chef Marcus walked over and ask us how is the food, do we enjoy and everything, after found out that I am a foodie, he is even more friendly, telling me that this shop is the first restaurant that offer cart steam rice which is more on health purpose as to go along with his dish, Chinese herbal. He indeed was very friendly as I did observe him, he walk and talk with customer before came over to my table.

Total bill came out with RM118 shared with 7 pax is very reasonable and with the quality served, its recommended~
