Lai Foong Beef Noodles @ Jalan Tun H.S. Lee, Kuala Lumpur

24/07/2013 No Comments

In the city, there are actually lots of things to eat. There are one street in particular that pretty well know for a lot of beef noodles. It really depends on your taste preference as many of them love this stall, Lai Foong Beef Noodle that located in Jalan Tun H.S Lee that operate inside a kopitiam called Kedai Kopi Lai Foong. There is one opposite too that some of my friends prefer over that stall.

For this stall, it had been ages since I last visited this place and few years back I was firstly introduce to it as my ex company boss love this stall alot and the secretary have to drive all the way down here to make a take away for him.

An early coffeeshop place that you might wanna consider to drop by for some good food or a beef noodle soup in Pudu.

I was also told that not to miss their Char Koey Teow and I tried ordering using Hokkien and obviously they don really udnerstand me. Means not Penang Char Koey Teow but the next stall auntie is surely from Penang that sells Jawa mee and stuff. Would try that next round.

Beef noodle here are pretty good as you stand nearby the stall you can smell the aroma of the beef noodle soup already. Imagine how many times those beef slices have to dip into the soup to make it cook and towards noon, the soup will be thick enough to make it extra kick.

You can actually choose your ingredient. Of course mine, I would love it to have a good mixture with alot of other spare parts.

this is what I mean the soup is pretty sweet and aromatic with bones and meat are being boiled along./

here is my bowl of slice beef noodle that some Louise & Anna order.

Their Beef balls is a must order. Springy and a bit solid that good enough to chew. I finish half of it. Hehe~

Here is my bowl of beef noodle. A good mixture. .

I have always love mine with a good mix. We were there around 11.30 am and the soup is strong and aromatic. You can even taste some spices that they have added in there. Beef Slices are good, done medium then let the hot soup make it cook. For an early weekend morning to have this, its sure satisfying. One of a good bowl of beef noodle soup in KL.

If you are new here for the first time, do give it a try~ Parking there is a big issue. You can consider park at Central Market then walk over.

Moon Cake @ Lai Poh Heen, Mandarin Oriental, KL

11/09/2012 No Comments

I am excited as setting my foot for the first time in this restaurant Lai Poh Heen in Madarin Oriental. I have read many good feedback about this Chinese Restaurant and further more, one of my favourite chef is here, Chef Ricky Thein that I got to know him when he is in Prince Hotel Tai Zi Heen.

As you walk thru the main entrance, you will be greeted with friendly staff then follow by a huge open concept kitchen that the chefs are happily greeting along too.

Then you will reach this porch huge dining area that is well attended with many of the waiter. It is a newly refurbish restaurant.

If you are in a group or need some private space, can request for their close door dining area.

As for this round, we are invited along to sample their mooncake creation for this year 2012

As I see the display that prepared for us, I just cant wait to sample any of those. It just look appetizing as mooncake is a once a year celebration and I always ended up eating alot.

The molding of Mandarin Oriental logo is so nice on the traditional mooncake.

If I got a chance to skip nutty mooncake I would just skip it, as I just do not prefer these nutty type, but the rest were enjoying every bite of this as they said its just lovely. Rich in ingredient and fragrant.

You may say I am classic yet I still prefer the classic Lotus paste with single yolk. Lotus paste is smooth, and I just love the skin texture as it is a bit like smooth sand, and aromatic skin. Perfect!

Besides this, they do offer other classic mooncake too such as white lotus paste, lotus paste with single yolk, lotus paste with double yolk, red bean and lotus paste with single yolk and diced chicken ham with almond.

pandan flavour mooncake & Durian mooncake – Back: Blueberries and grated coconut

For Durian snowskin, this is by far one of the best I have come across as they use D24 to make it along and it taste exactly like eating durian yet in chill version. – Recommended!

Jeng Jeng Jeng, this is by far the section that I am staring at the whole night. For the first time I come accross Chocolate mooncake!

Available in 4 different flavour and 4 if it looks very tempting and mouth watering.

Dark chocolate with star anise and red bean ganache

White chocolate with orange ganache and cream

Milk chocolate with peanut butter crunch – If you give me 4 pieces of this, I would be very happy, as among the other 3 I prefer this more. I guess I am bias one side as I just love anything with peanut butter. Not too milky chocolate and the peanut butter just pair well. It just give you the feeling like you are eating Reese peanut chocolate.

Dark chocolate with salted caramel ganache

I just love double boil soup. As this was place infront of me, I can just smell the sweet scent of soup occupying the air as I quickly capture the picture and get a soup of it. It just taste awesome sweet as like how the smell occupying that instant moment. Imagine how good the soup would be that is filled with huge scallop and abalone that is juicy and chewy. It is something worth spending on this Double-boiled Abalone Soup with seasonal dried deluxe seafood and baby cabbage at RM 188.

Jasmine Tealeaf Smoked Chicken, chicken meat is soft and if flavourful with tea leaf flavour. Slight moist with the sauce that pair along and eat along with the garlic just make the whole taste more outstanding. @ RM38

Another eye opener as Crispy egg noodles with Assorted Seafood and Vegetables @ RM 48. Crab is succulent sweet with huge scallop and noodle been deep fried that store along with gravy.

something which might look simple to cook along yet Special seafood Fried Rice being cook evenly fragrant that filled with wok hei that makes every one enjoy every bite of it. RM36

Durian pancake @ RM38 – for 3 pieces

One of the best pancake you can get around the area, as I gulp this whole big piece in one bite and let the aroma burst into my mouth. Strong taste of durian detected with a good quality durian being included as the meat, wrap along with thin fried egg slice then chilled along. Taste awesome!

As one desert just make our craving engine started, and every one just browse thru the desert menu on what to have. Guess what we order in the end. We ordered the whole desert menu. 😀

1) Chilled Mango Puree

2) Chilled Almond Bean Curd

Black Sesame Panna Cotta

Lemongrass Jelly

1) Warm Sweetened Red Bean Puree

2) Double Boiled Five Treasures

3) Hot Gingko Nut and Snow Fungus

Chinese Inpired Chocolate Coconut Dome

Double Boiled Sweetened Ginger Tea with Black Sesame Glutinous Rice Dumpling

Banana Split among so many desert, this is one of the best on my preference and something that worth ordering. @ RM22

Coconut Pudding and Pea-shaped Green Tea Dumpling

Mango Pudding with Chocolate Twirl

In the end of the meal, we were all very satisfied and you can place your mooncake as the form above and do go for their Chocolate version, Snowskin Durian and classic lotus paste with single egg yolk.

Very good Chu Char at Restaurant Sin Lai Ping @ Bangsar

17/04/2012 No Comments

What is your reaction when your friend ask you to dine in Bangsar? For me is usually errr, got other place ah? lack of budget lei go there makan. . . Well, before on a journey head back to Penang my friend just tell me, do not worry about that as it would not burn a hole in your pocket yet you will enjoy the food that we will recommend you is Restaurant Sin Lai Ping.

When reaching, I said, ahh good good at least something different and I can help to promote in Bangsar. This corner shop which is Restaurant Sin Lai Ping that are not sooooo pack with people yet my friend mention that this is one of the best Chu Char stall that they happen to come across and used to come here at least once a week. This kopitiam is tug at another side of Bangsar or I would say opposite old Bangsar Village is one of the hidden gem I recently discover if you are looking for cheap and nice eat in Bangsar.

This is one of my friends favourite, Butter chicken that is very aromatic as the gravy is creamy thick with a bit of spiciness at the end as they fried along with chili padi. Chicken is well fried with crispy skin on top and you definately have to eat along with rice as to eat it raw like that its a bit salty. – Recommended!

Next is this unique dish that I am ordering as I always used to order salted egg chicken, fish but never with squid. It turns out to be good as the squid is fresh and chewy and the are able to fried the salted duck egg stick along with the squid.

A simple KangKung Belacan fried to perfection. Just loving it. .

Claypot Pork Belly, is another dish that must not miss, well blend of taste with dry chili, thick soy sauce and a perfect combination with rice.

Best of all, they provide free soup upon request.

I must say that this place is definitely a highly recommended place by me if you are looking for nice and cheap Chu Char around the area as its worth the price we are paying and its more on the cheap side. Total for dinner is about RM 70 for 4 pax. Highly Recommended~

Restaurant Lai Foong @ Jalan Tun H.S. Lee, Kuala Lumpur

08/09/2010 No Comments

It was when requested that the management and client need something nice to eat and Florence had arrange knew what they like, then we went all the way downtown to make a few take away and never knew that around China Town area got many shops to hunt for. Restaurant Lai Foong

The main target of Beef Noodle was to stop by opposite Lai Fong but on that day it was close and she stop us at Restaurant Lai Fong Beef Noodle shop to make a quick take away, as in this shop have alot of hawker food to go for but we manage to try a few only.

Being first time dropping at this coffee shop, it amaze me how pack the coffee shop is during lunch time.

Pricing as above that I would not feel its expensive with the noodle are served in quite big portion.

With all the beef spareparts, prepared and you can choose what you like and do not like. I always love my bowl to be all in one.

The boss busy preparing alot of serving as we waited for around 20 minutes to wait for our turn. By looking and smelling at the soup, I was so hungry and just could request to the boss for a small bowl of soup to try on (of course I didnt)

OUG Pasar Malam (Night Market), KL

30/07/2010 No Comments

It had been quite a long time since I last step into Pasar Malam (night market) which it had been quite a often outing with my friends during college time. Since then, had rarely been to it not until last week that got a called from my friend asking wanted to go night market which is located at OUG. This is my first time visiting night market in this area and I am quite excited to see what food range they have to offer and operating here on every Thursday starts at 6pm.

Night market in Malaysia do not have a fixed location that operate like Taiwan, if you are looking forward to go night market in Malaysia, it is advice for you to check it out which day and location. The location can spread out over Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.

Usually my friends and me will take out some money, one person will hold it as the banker who is in charge of paying all the food and will share by all of us. On that day the place is not that packed as I expected and not that big compare to other night market.

Besides food, of course they are stalls like selling clothes, some basic utilities, and others.

When I saw this stall selling this Taiwan Mask a box for RM8 I nearly vomit blood with the pricing here, as I bought 3 box for RM50 at Taiwan and here is RM8 per box that makes me wonder is it fake?

My hunting begins with this first stall ‘Papa Lai Fried Chicken’ that many people are waiting for it and thought it would be nice.

Pricing as above. . . . .

It sure do look like normal fried chicken and the taste is normal, nothing much to brag about, one of the reason being so long queuing is that they need to fried the chicken and a person buying one piece of it, whole group lining up.

‘Otak-Otak Muar’ is next with promotion of buy 10 free 1 at RM 7.

I ate it while its hot and I have just eaten better ones.

Ice cream that sell in front of the Otak-Otak.

Among so many food stall that I have came across, this stall is the busiest among all with 3 old lady constantly doing take away for big crowds and this guy is busy frying mini prawn crackers.

This is one of his signature of the stall, mini prawn cracker.

‘Prawn Crackers’

all the fried dish.

pricing as above.

This stall with the word ‘Thai Roast Pork’ surely caught our attention.

and its ‘Satay Style’ turns out to be not bad if you add on the chili by the side.

It is purely pork and available with pig spare part.

Next is this stall caught my attention the most. I pan cake had been one of my favourite but then I have never come across with CEREAL version.

It is operate by a young lad and with his creativeness and health conscious, he created this version.

First add on a pack of cereal. . .

Then add on with the pre mix ingredient and let it harden a bit to add on the peanut and sugar.

After it is cook nicely, with the skin is thick on the outside and had to cool down before cutting it.

If you are sick or looking for some healthy option, then you can give this a try as the taste is quite bland but surely its healthy. RM1.30

‘Fried Kuih Kak’

Love to have mine with more bean sprout and add on spicy but on that day according to my friend, the uncle fried it till quite wet that turns out not so good which usually is quite dry, with wok hei.

When I was a kid, I love to eat those uncle that ride motorcycle that sells home made ice cream and it has been quite a while I am looking for this ice-cream. Poo’s Ice Cream which is operate by one old uncle that do those home made ice-cream that I had missed.

The flavour of that day was Cendul and it is good, smooth, not that sweet and thick in flavour. RM1

When I first walk through this ‘Nasi Lemak’ the amount of ingredient that left there was still a lot and after 40 minutes walk back, it is nearly sold out. Then we decided to try a pack. The rice is fragrant with coconut milk and pandan flavor and the best part is add in their own dry sambal udang to add the extra kick in it.

I feel that this night market is quite small and not many food or stalls available, so far I still prefer the one at Cheras-Leisure Mall or SS2 but after this food outing, I have decided to hunt for other night market too, especially on Wednesday at Cheras which is one of the biggest.
