Bandung Trip – Morning Breakfast at Warung Kopi Purnama –> Mie Rica Kejaksaan –> Amanda Brownies Kukus

10/03/2011 No Comments

On our very next morning, woke up early and Agnes came by and bring us to breakfast hunting. . So the very first shop mention by her is one of her favourite that served quite authentic style of Bandung Style Breakfast. . .

A few street shots on the way to our first stop. . .

Early morning people stop by at newspaper street stand to read the latest news. . .

then saw this stall sell this quite unique cake and it smells nice. . . so I bought a piece to try out .. which is located right infront of the shop . . .

We had reach our first stop of the day Warung Kopi Purnama which is located at Jalan Alketeri 22. . .

with a few paintings on the wall .. .

Even some people just sit outside of the shop to enjoy the morning chit chat and tea. . .

I just love this place, which is classic out of town coffee shop feel

Even their early morning kopitiam culture and ours is pretty much the same where our parents or grand parents would love to sit and hang out to chat with their friends in the morning before heading to work or after shopping from wet market .. .

This is their menu offer in the Warung. . .I felt that its more like our Hailanese Breakfast just that its in Indonesian style .. .

This is the pancake that sell outside the house, which is very nice in aroma, well mixture of ingredient then baked in between iron rod with outer layer very crips and soft inside with a bit of custard cream . . Nice. . .

Kick start our breakfast with Tea, and their tea is a bit mild that taste a bit like taiwan bubble milk tea. . .

Roti Dadar Ham is piece of bread wrap with a thin layer of egg then add on with chunks of ham. . .just dip it with chili sauce will be very simple and nice. .

Risoles is more like a breaded pastry that coated with breadcrumbs and filled with their own ingredient then deep fried. Something new to me .. and we finish it within seconds. .. To me, it is like a popiah with a bit gravy ingredient inside. ..

I seldom miss out this which is ‘Roti Cheeze Bakar’ with butter spread at the bottom and lots of fine sherreded cheeze on top`

Otak-otak in Bandung is something new to me in the taste. Very sticky in texture, with no hint of spices in it and it is not my preference. . .

After the first round, we head to next destination , Mie Rica Kejaksaan at Hyper Square. . . ..

A shop where served most of its food spicy and there are a few levels for you to choose from . .

that can select a few types Mie Rica the original, Mie pedas Udang Goreng and a few more. .

signature of the shop is their chili or sambal paste. . .

We order Mie Rica with spiciness of level 3 .. and a bowl of additional gravy then you can add more of the sambal into your noodle if you feel that you can take more spiciness. .. I had only 2 bites and I am KO’ed. . It was so spicy but the taste is so good, noodle was springy and I am sweating away while eating this.

If you do come to Bandung.. This is a shop you must not miss. . .Mie Rica @ Hyper Square .. .

After the meal, we then walked opposite the shop to buy one of their local desert Amanda Brownies Kukus. . .

many types of pastries to choose from . .. . .

and the Brownie Kukus are available in so many flavour. .. I bought the Choco Marble and I find it very sweet, nothing much to boast a bout. . .

It was super full or super heavy breakfast then we will go for a stroll at the non-active volcano . ..

27/08/2010 No Comments

One of the thing that I have been asking around from my Malay friends and colleague are which pasar ramahdan is recommended to go? There are a few actually with like of Kelana Jaya, Taman Tun Dr.Ismail (TTDI) Pasar Ramahdan 2010 and one of the most highly recommended was Taman Melawati but then for this round, we, me, Ken and Andrew decided to make our first street photography and food hunt at TTDI.

We reach the place pretty early around 3pm and there are still some stalls setting up but most of them are already selling like hot cakes. One of the reason that the residence are unhappy about this about the traffic is cannot deny that this TTDI Pasar Ramahdan is quite impressive with its size of the bazaar is big, circulating the main middle area of shop houses. It will be start off with the stretch in front Popeye towards KFC and to Shell end, more like a retangular shape. You Imagine yourself how big it is.

In Malaysia, when comes to Bulan Berpuasa (fasting month) there will be a quite a number of places we can hunt for variety local malay food with street long which we can enjoy it very much which is known as Pasar Ramadhan at Kampung Kerinchi (Bazaar Ramadhan). Most Muslims will go to this market or bazaar to buy what they would like to have for dinner with friends and family.

Therefore last weekend I just pass by Kampung Kerinchi and decided to take a peek what does this Pasar Ramahdan got to offer, as this would be my first stop afterall. There will be not much write up as more on pictures. . .

Authentic food – Restaurant Hailanese Delights @ Hotel 1926, Penang

21/02/2010 No Comments

Being a Hailanese myself, I actually have not really tried how this traditional cuisine taste like except the very famous and located most of the coffee shop the Hainanese Chicken Rice not until Lingzie and CK introduce us this Restaurant Hailanese Delights newly open restaurant at Hotel 1926 which is located at the very famous Green House Coffee shop.

But this newly open restaurant does not only offer authentic Hainanese food but also a cross over with western also which turns out that there are a few of their signature item.

Lets kick start off with the very authentic first dish which is ‘Hainanes Mushroom Soup’. As I heard the name I was like ‘WHAT’? puzzle in my head that is this consider authentic dish? It’s a clear soup style (which I thought the creamy soup or Campbell soup) as in the soup base is cook with chicken gizzard, mushroom, and some veggie ended up with ‘Tang Hoon’.

The soup base turns out wonderfully flavorful as I have not taste before, a bit of the gizzard taste yet chopped mushroom did not over power the soup. RM 12 for small and can serve for 4 person.

‘Braised Lamb with Lady’s Finger’ carefully cooks and stew of the New Zealand lamb that cooks till very juicy and tender. The gravy is just as good if you eat it with rice. RM18 If you are a lamb lover, this is a dish you must try.

‘Inche Kabin (Deep Fried Marinated Chicken)’ is deep fried till crispy on the skin and soft on the inside. RM15

‘Choon Piah (Hainanese Spring Roll)’ as I get to know that its different from Popiah. As I know the way the prepare, skin and ingredient used is different yet when it was deep fried out, the outer layer crispiness is different too but when diff with their very own homemade sauce its totally thumbs up.

RM 6 per roll

‘Chicken Curry Kapitan’ is a bit different from all the curry I have eaten before. The spices taste is different not really spicy yet its fragrant and is cook till dry. RM12

Another dish which is different And abit of western style which is ‘Macaroni Pie’ . I did not know this is also consider one of the Hainanese food but to me is more like a bit modern dish. Perfectly baked till the crust is a bit soft and crispy on the top yet when the fork is poke down to the bottom the aroma just flew out and make us very hungry. The macaroni is soft, cook till flavorful with chicken, button mushroom and carrot. RM 25

Next is the ‘Chicken Pie’ RM 25 as its about the same with pie but I prefer this more. We ended up having 2.

This is the dish that is very famous among the local crowd or among all Hainanese people which is the very traditional ‘Hainanese Chicken Rice’. The chicken is steam and cooks till the meat is juicy and soft then mixed with their very own style of soy sauce make it very flavorful. If you dip with their homemade ginger and chili sauce taste better. RM10

‘Fried Koay Teow’ I just had taste better ones before.

If you are a coffee lover, their ‘Black Coffee’ taste good too, brew aromatically.

It’s a great exposure to Hainanese authentic food. If you would want to taste something different you can look for this restaurant.

02/03/2009 No Comments

It has been ages since last I came here, it was during my college here and used to hang out here for tea time as I was studying at Disted College during year 2001. Calculations come out around 8 years since last I visit this place. It was the ah pek Char koey Teow still the same person. Luckily was not closed. This place is what we called ‘Chiu Chang Ka‘, direct translation Under the Tree located at Pulau Tikus area.

This is the stall that stay at the same place for the past donkey years. One good thing about this stall is he uses charcoal to fried it is always better to those than using gas, fried by one plate at the time. The special about this uncle stall is he uses Duck egg, upon request. Must try it. Taste much better.

Tadaa, this is the uncle ‘Char Koey Teow with duck egg’. Have the wok taste, nicely fried and not too dry yet the si ham is alot, with chinese sausage and only RM3.50.

After leaving Penang for not too long, and I ordered Teh O Ice, and guess how much is it, Only RM0.90. Wow, didnt know still exist with this kind of pricing and the funny thing is when the lady come and told me its RM0.90, then I like ‘Hah, 90cents ah’. she like yeah la, you come out from hutan or too long never come out eat already iziit. Lol..It has been long long time since pay for a drink less than RM1.

This place also famous for Economy bee hoon with fried popiah on top, unfortunately it was closed that day, or I do not know still exist or not.
