I guess recently I really eat a lot when I am not in KL, went back to Penang for a short trip to cover one event, then meet a few of my friends that I didn’t manage to meet during Chinese New Year and one of my best friend brought me to this place which I do love Yam Rice at Bukit Mertajam and which is one of her favorite stalls. I never came this far for this only in Chai Leng Park, Butterworth (click here on previous post).

This place is not that hard to find as you need to be very aware which turning to turn in, as the alley to tunr in here is very small . . .

All pork spare parts are available and see which part you like and ask them to boil for you into this ‘kiam chai’ soup.

More like a kopitiam style and its not very hot as they have  a few big fan on the wall to keep us cool . . .

To come till so far, yam rice is a must order as they rice is a bit dry as it needs to be and a few chunks of yam are in the rice, flavorful with a bit of dry shrimp taste too. The best is the soup, quite sour with the ‘kiam chai’ as it needs to be and the soup is not that clear and with sweet taste of all my favorite pork spare parts.

There are a few other mini side dish to order, my friend ask me to try on their ‘Tu Kar Chor’ which I find it nothing to shout about.

A must order is only the Yam Rice and mixture of pork spare parts into the soup.

If I do go back to Bukit Mertajam, it will be one of the stop I will be stopping by. Recommended

Chinese New Year, during family gathering, most of us when before dinner will enjoy ‘Lou Yee Sang’ together with family, friends and colleague. This is to mark and to wish for what you want for the year,which usually is good health and prosperous year. Nagomi

Nagomi now had come out with their version of Yee Sang which is quite tempting or I would say a good bargain for the kind of portion and price which is available from now till 20th February . .

nagomi (9)

let the leng luis intro you Nagomi style lou sang. .  Naomi and friends. ..

nagomi (10)

Nagomi Yee Sang is abit unique in style that add in with a bit of corn flakes and raw sashimi . .  ranging from tuna, salmon, amberjack and seabass and home made sauce.

nagomi (11)

Home-made sauce* and *Freshly made* ingredients.

RM48++ (2 pax)     RM88++ (6 pax)

nagomi (12)

Lets louuu sanggg ahhh . .  I wish this year be very prosperous, good health and  . .. . .

After Chinese New Year, love birds would be in hunt to bring their the other half to dine in a nice restaurant to celebrate this lovely remarkable day.

nagomi (1)

Of course Nagomi do have their very own style Valentine’s Dinner Bento @ RM 99++ served for one pax, that start to be available on 11th Feb-14th Feb. Its a big bento set.

nagomi (2)

Suzuki Senbei (Home-made Seabass Crispy Cracker) fried to crips, that squeeze with lime on top to add in extra kick of the flavour and I was asking Macky to give me his portion and he said I wish… a good, companion with beer.

Rose Shape Sashimi (Combination of Salmon & Tuna Sashimi topping with Tobiko) that is served thick in size and very fresh. Add on with a bit wasabi, is just salivating.

nagomi (4)

Love Sushi Roll  (Love Shape Sushi with Strawberry & Avocado), I like the texture of the rice which is just perfect with a slice of mini cheeze and strawberry is something unique in taste that I have try. A good combination for Valentine’s.

King Prawn with White Sauce (Grilled King Prawn with White Sauce), the prawn meat texture is solid that shows sign of freshness and grill then burn with white sauce is savoury.

nagomi (5)

What we feel that the star of the night is this very healthy meal, miso topping with Soba Soft Shell Crab Salada (Soft Shell Crab Salada serve with Buckwheat Noodle)

nagomi (6)

You have to pour the whole sauce onto of the soba then mix it around, eat it, and all of us are looking at each other’s portion hoping that the others wont finish it. The miso dressing is really really good, that I think its one of the best soba I had so far.

nagomi (7)

To end with something sweet, served with Chocolate Cheese Brownie.

nagomi (8)

As you see the expression of Naomi after finishing the whole Lover’s Bento herself, she is speechless when saw this big piece of brownie. Its not too sweet and I wish it would have been even more perfect if this brownie can top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

At the end of the meal, we were all very satisfied with the bento box and for person to finish a Lover’s bento its really huge, we were talking about for a couple can consider get 1 lovers bento and 1 Yee Sang for 2 then lou and wish for each other, but if you really love Jap food, the Lover’s Bento is definately a good recommendation by me. ..

Last weekend, I had a very short trip back to Penang to help my friend photo shoot on his new range of food that going to promote for the next 6 months which I have previously blog about it (click here to view) and while I was there, I manage to think back to find a place that it had been long time have never dine there. Kedai Kopi Chip Heng

When I was a kid, my dad used to bring me here, that I used to bugged him on weekends, as it was quite a distance from Penang to mainland to hunt for this meal and at that time I was addicted to their soup taste, sour veggie.

Yam Rice

When I reach there, I remember one of the shop used to be my favourite but I could not remember which is the one as there are 2 shops side by side selling the same thing but different taste, as I lost my memory, I just chin chai entered one of the shop which turns to be Kedai Kopi Chip Heng.

Yam Rice (2)

What they sell is called, Yam Rice (one of their main selling item) to go along with soup that filled with mixture of pig’s spare part.

Yam Rice (4)

You can choose the parts that want to be added in into your bowl or mix everything ( I love it to be mix of everything) in the small bowl boil it for a while till its cook, then they will add the soup after that.

Yam Rice (3)

Yam Rice (5)

This is ‘Salted Vegetable Soup with Pork Innards’ with one of their special taste was the soup base, which is created much from salted veggie (Kiam Chai – in hokkien) and it had been quite some time since I last taste it and find it another feel like sour plum which happens to be quite strong which me and my friend find it quite weird but as I remember the when I was a kid it doesn’t taste like that (more on sour veggie).

Yam Rice (6)

Then the auntie introduce us their ‘Tau Yew Bak’ that had been stew for quite some time till the pork intestine its very soft and a bit chewy and if the meat would have been softer a bit it would have been perfect. I just love the taste of the Tau Yew as it similar to my grandma’s cooking that I had long missed. We just finish this bowl within seconds.

Yam Rice (7)

If you are in this coffee shop and ordered white rice it would be just very weird (would be more like ordering Wan Tan Mee without Wantan) as they are famous for their ‘Yam Rice’.

Love the Yam Rice that have diced yam cubes are deep – fried to a crisp, add in sauteed dried shrimps to cook with the rice till its not too dry is just delicious to go along with the soup.

Yam Rice (8)

The best part is all the pig spare part must dip with their special ‘In house Chili’ to add in the kick of it.

After finishing the meal, I am still not satisfied that it doesn’t give me the umph of it then went to the next stall to tap au back their taste and while I was at home after reheat it again, I just found out that that’s the shop I wanted to go with its strong taste of sour veggie. Both shop also had their own customer with different taste wise, hence for me, I love the one next to this shop and as I remember, my cousin loves this shop compare to the one I like. (depends on your taste bud)

Total damage for 2 pax is RM15 including drinks which we find it very cheap.

For a foodie like me, I always would like to meet someone famous in the critics not until recently I got a chance to meet Chua Lam live in person. A famous food critics that is born at Singapore and now resides in Hong Kong, columnist and often appear in the media as he was one of a great producers, with his notable work like Mr.Nice Guy, Thunderbolt and a few more, also feature as a judge in Japan great series, Iron Chef. He is also a great writer.

With his special appearance and hosted by one of local famous host, Ms Siow Hui Mei, the crowd and media had flock into this place within minutes and everyone is aiming at the front seats. One thing good being in the media is always get to occupy the front row.

I have always only get to see him on television and never thought that get to see him in person. Before this event, which was a day before I manage to catch one of his most recent shows that he bring a few leng lui to hunt for our very local Malaysian food.

Chua Lam (3)

It is interesting to see him share to us about his life journey and filled the environment with laughter. He is a person which is seriously open minded that is why, to some parents thinking of brining their young kids have to consider. I just love the way he talk, straight and openly. He is also very interactive accepting and answer all the questions that the audience asked.

Chua Lam (5)

Could not deny that Ms Siow Hui Mei is a great emmcee, act and think very fast in most of the response. Well, if you do watch over very local show Tiger WooHoo, she is also one of the actress.
After the small little chat and also promoting on his next life talk show, held a autograph section which leads to alot of people bought up his book at a very reasonable price of around RM20 per book.

It was midnight around 12.35am, after fetching my friend back, suddenly hungry and decided to drop by at the Jelutong Market at night whereby it become a hawker center. Wanted to eat the ‘Leng Lui Tong Sui’ but no chance cuz the stall already preparing to go home ZZzZzzz..so left afew stalls over the area and eating back this ‘Prawn Mee’ usually with the Tong Sui.
They have a another stall of the Prawn Mee, but this stall is infront of the ‘Leng Lui Tong Sui’ which I usually eat. The soup taste nice, you can taste the prawn shells and sweet ‘gula batu’ taste. It was hot and just nice to eat for supper. Not a bit portion. It is only RM2.50.
