German Food Hunt at Brozeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant @ Mid Valley

No Comments

Aren’t that when we are in shopping mall, we are spoilt for choices when comes to food, but then if when we are picky, it is not much that we can look at, its either we have to dig deeper into our wallet to get a really good meal or just close one eye and dine any where. Brozeit German Bier Bar

Then as my birthday coming up and I suddenly thought of Brozeits that Jac and Eric mention to me that in Mid Valley have quite a nice German restaurant, Brozeits and dinner will be there.. So I have asked everything I can on what to order in the restaurant.It just just a stroll to the very end of Chili Restaurant that direction which the restaurant is next to Maybank.. . .

On that night it was quite packed with people and the place look pretty comfy eh~

Normally with a classic German restaurant, most of their place will be decorated with a bit of wooden style like wall or floors or bar.. . . to blend the ambiance of German style

 

this drawings on the wall is really really interesting with the plan of how the process goes. While reading at the menu, only I get to know that how Brozeit comes from. . . ‘Brot’ being German for bread and ‘Zeit’ for time – referring to a small meal or snack accompanied by beer.

By looking at the menu, we were really lost for a moment both with the wordings and also the price. Certainly it is not cheap to dine here. For German food it is always for their German Beer, sausages and pork!

One of the highly recommended beer which for the very first time I taste it is ‘Mango Affensaft’ around RM 38, it is by far one of the most expensive beer that I have come accross, and if you are looking for something a bit different in taste, this is the one that you are looking foor, mild german beer which is very smooth that start a bitter taste in our tongue then follow by aromatic mango and a bit of sweetness at the end which is just perfect!

If you are a pork lover and seriously, this is a MUST ORDER – Schweinnemedallions/Pork Medallions – Grilled Pork Fillet Medallions wrapped in Smoked Bacon served with fries and sautee vegetable. . .RM 44, the pork meat is so soft and the pork bacon that wraps around it taste so good! The fries is just like the one I like from Carls Junior… dip with chili sauce just makes me stop eating. . .

Wursteplatte – Sausage Platter – RM 78 that consist of :

spicy chicken sausages, pork bratwurst, mini pork cheese sausages, weisswurst  sausage, garlic sausage + sauerkraut

 

Next recommendation is Broizeitflade Speck/ Spicy Bacon Pizza – thin crust fladenbrot with roasted bacon, onions, vine ripened. If you are talking about German Pizza, this is by far one of the best that I come accross, thin cripsy filled with thick layer of cheeze and aromatic bacon taste is so good, even my brother cant stop eating this!

German food would never be perfect if you didnt go for Pork Knuckkle – RM 85 which is a super huge rack and that waiter told me that 1 portion is enough to feed for 3 pax and I ordered 2, which is totally very SALAH cuz a table of 7 with this 2 super huge knucckle with a few other dish is just too much!

Trust me, you would not want to miss this super crispy skin with layer of fats and the pork meat at the rock bottom is so soft. . . dip it with the gravy will just makes you continue eating.. . . ..

Lastly of course, we are too full till we wanted to faint because of the hugeeee knuckle and with this cake, we have very little space to eat it. Thanks to all my friends who had celebrated with me and this year I celebrated my birthday the most happening and Happy. . .

If you do come to this restaurant for dininig… my recommendation would be the Mango Beer, Pork Bacon, Bacon Pizza and the pork knuckle and if you do not mind to get a knock in your wallet!

Taiwan Trip Day 3 – Street Snack and Shopping @ XimenDing, Harajuku of Taipei

No Comments

After our Taiwan Story Land stop by, next destination which is Ximending which is a must go place for all teenagers and young adults if you love shopping. A place which is colourfully light up and surely looks like one of the best place to be. This place is seriously huge with many streets to walk around. One thing you just need to prepare which is money!

Ximen

Ximending has been called the “Harajuku of Taipei” and the “Shibuya of Taipei”. Ximending is the source of Taiwan’s fashion, subculture, and Japanese culture. This area is in the northeastern part of Wanhua District in Taipei and it is also the most important consumer district in the Western District of Taipei. The well-known Ximending Pedestrian Area was the first pedestrian area built in Taipei and is the largest in Taiwan. (source from Wikipedia)

Ximending also can be easily access by the MRT that’s stops at Ximending station which is located directly in front of the place itself.

This place is just flock by alot of young people and you wont feel old at all.

I have been told by a lot of my friends that travel here so far and if do drop by this place, once of the food shop that I must visit is this Ay-Chung Flour Rice Noodle that had been establish since 1975 and had become a trend.

Ximen (6)

This shop is located directly infront of Addidas and Nike Boutique and its hard for you to find a place to sit down and the only place you can sit is on the floor, or the plastic chairs which is available or stand.

Ximen (7)

I have never seen this guy stop his work and the que is consistant with people eat in and take away.

Ximen (8)

Sauces to add on are the Vinegar, Garlic and Chili.

Ximen (9)

It would taste much better if you add all of the sauces. One Small bowl cost NT40.

Ximen (10)

Ximen (11)

You can eat it either stand or squatting down.

Ximen (12)

I just love the texture of the noodle which is silky smooth, and the base is thick that near to gummy side. The best part is, instead of using Oyster they are using Pig Intestine that had been cook so soft to chew it like fish meat. Taste of chili and garlic just add in the extra kick in it, just beware the chili is quite spicy. By the time I finish my cup of Mee Sua we are all drench in sweat. Recommended stop for food.

Ximending Branch: Ximen Station, Exit 6. No.8-1, Er Mei St., Wanhua District. +886-02-2388-8808 ay-chung.com

Shiling Branch: 1F., No.24, Lane 101, Wenlin Rd., Shilin District, Taipei City

Xinyi District Branch: No.2, Lane 17, Sec. 4, Zhongxiao E. Rd., Xinyi District, Taipei City

 

Ximen (13)

As we were still hungry and walking around through this busy district then we came accross street snacks available.

Ximen (14)

It sure looks tempting to us and too bad I do not know how to read chinese but certainly my friends can.

Ximen (15)

It is like Roti Canai Taiwan version that have many choices to choose from as topping to wrap around as ingredient.

Ximen (16)

You can choose from bacon, egg, corn, and a few others to make it up.

Ximen (17)

Certainly they do have alot of toppings also, ranging from sour till sweet.

Ximen (18)

The taste is so good till that now I still remember the taste, soft and aromatic with pan fried cover with yummy crispy bacon with egg wrap add with some chili powder. I don mind to have 3 of this. NT35

Ximen (19)

Next then we were a little curious on what is this guy selling that have so many mixture of chicken parts available and some are in cold version.

Ximen (20)

It was more like a mixture of chicken sparepart of everything and some other veggies and we order a mix packet that have all the available ingredient mix in it.

Ximen (22)

Ximen (21)

mix everything into the bowl

Ximen (23)

add on some powder and shake it and mix it by hand

Ximen (24)

The end result of the total mixture, which includes some cold ingredient but it suprise us how good it taste, with a bit salty, not too strong in taste of pepper, chili powder and another secret powder that kicks the taste even better and Pak just finish most of it by himself and keep praising how good it is. Indeed it taste good!

Ximen (25)

We have Chinese Pancake in Malaysia and they do have Taiwan Chinese Pancake I would call.

Ximen (26)

Available in rolls, flats, thick and flavour to add in are red bean, cheeze, peanut, jam, mixed seafood and a few others.

Ximen (27)

Taiwan Sausages are available in many many flavour compare to our pasar malam and the types of the original sausage also gives us hard time in choosing it.

Ximen (28)

This is another shop highly recommended by two friends that is a must go shop if I am there, sure its packed with people.

Ximen (29)

What is available in the shop is more on chicken parts.

Ximen (30)

With chicken legs, inards, feet, liver, ass and many more.

Ximen (31)

Price ranges from NT20 – NT70 depends on how many grams you take.

Ximen (32)

One of the many things that we would buy back for souvenir is this compress ‘ Taiwan Tie Dan or know as Iron Eg or Naught Egg’ that an egg had been compress till so small that had a bit of herbal taste. Many people can just finish one pack like that but I just cant. NT100 per pack and available in Original and Spicy. Both taste pretty good and if are a spicy lover just go for the SPICY!

Ximen (33)

Then we did try out all the available parts in the shop the taste, is mind with a bit herbs and not that salty. You try it out then you tell me. We finish the whole bag like piranha.

Ximen (34)

If you are looking something cute to buy back as souvenir for your friends or gift for your love ones, then this shop, Sophisca would be a shop you would not want to miss as they are candy and gift shop. They sell all those cute and uniquely packed gift available for you to choose and I sure do hope that Malaysia do have this kind of shop.

Ximen (35)

All those packed are they Pad? selling womens Pad? Nope, but sure do looks like one rite?

Street Food @ Jonkers Walk, Melaka Part 2

No Comments

After dinner at Portuguese settlement, we head back to hotel to park our car and head to Jonker’s street night market. Where this is one of the famous streets everyone in town is talking about.

As it was weekend and the people conquering the streets is like Sparta, most stalls also got people buy, and the people that walking up and down is like morning market + night market + a lot of Singaporean + a lot outstation people = human traffic jam.

Yet we are still quite full from our dinner which is like 75-80% full but then still hiau, wanna try out the food. So when I came across the very first stall is this ‘Nyonya Delights’.

The auntie is enjoying brisk business and I am squeezing in to take my shot and seeing what variety she is having. Quite unique in the shape and flavor itself and ask the rest to share. Every one with one bites.

What I remember is the ‘Nyonya Sri Muka’ is my most preffered compare to the rest.


As the daughter also helping out on the stalls, the price range from RM0.50-RM2.

I see a lot of kids and young couples holding this one stick eat eating while walking. Thought its something unique mana tau its this Taiwan street snack stall. Taste so so only la..not my type of desert.
As walking down the streets and the amount of sweats accumulating on my body is going up. Then while waiting for the rest to catch up and waiting, saw this stall which is usually doesn’t attract me but the new flavor surely get my attention.
 

Usually I get peanut with corn and sometimes angry with egg also.

I have never tried ‘Durian Pancake’ and with my stomach already going to its full capacity yet still want to try.
 

 

The best part is they use the original durian meat and put upon. When the aroma was flying around, me and Kenji was like hmm..not bad not bad.. uncle add one more…hahah…all already full but got tempted by this piece.
Hot from the pan, crispy yet flavorful and the durian taste is what I prefer, a bit bitter yet sweet and with the crust around just taste good. All of us enjoy every bite of it. If we have room for more, surely we are going for second piece.
This stall is located at this street or this corner of the shop. The only stall serve with durian. Something you should try.

The stall opposite which looks colorful pulls me to that stall. Hot steaming good for facial yet with the amount of tim sum they are offering, cannot fill in liau. Just skip this stall. Maybe those who have tried can let me know.

Few stalls down the road, Kenji already start complaining that we all are animal. Do not know the word called ‘STOPPED’. Eating from morning till night yet still eating, Nagging all the way after the pancake.

 

Then came across this stall, that the uncle sell left 5-6 pieces of the otak-otak and Karen sapu everything + order additional 100 sticks to tapau back to KL. We asked her is she alright or not. Buying so many to eat. 50 is just enough, she said that can put in fridge and last 1 ma. I think she is going in to winter and need to stock up food for hibernation process.  

Walk towards end of the street, Choe and Jon was saying wanna eat lala. then I said you guys go ahead. Never a fan of lala..yew..geli with the blood some more. Yucks~
 
 

 

 

  

  

Then ah Keh pull me along to eat the jap stall which she wanted only to take the picture of the stall, so jap feel but then the pic that I took was blurr didn’t post up..deng!~

I have never seen a Japanese stall outside on kopitiam or pasar malam or night market enjoying brisk business. These guys never stop wrapping up sushi.
This is one of their signature item in the stall. We find it quite nice. Should not miss if you came across this stall. Can’t remember the name but you will get to see a lot people ordering that.

 

Another signature was ‘Fruit Sushi’ serve in apple and a few other fruits. Something unique which you can try out, didn’t try the fruit as my stomach already put a stop sign for foods. NO MORE FOODS in my body.

Of course I am not eating that, cuz I was seating in front of them in the stalls, I am taking most of the pics I can.

This is what most of Karen’s order. Order then I have to become recycle bin.
The sushi that the prepare was fresh even for the salmon, no complain for a street food.

 

The sushi that was prepared is fresh even for the salmon, there is no complain la..for such a street food can get that kind of quality.

After the sushi, for my very own personal last stop which I saw a kid licking this so tempting cuz the weather was hot and surely its the thing that I need for at least its very refreshing and cooling. I took the Lime flavour which taste like you buy in Kedai runcit when I was a kid. Happily licking all the way to beer session.
Remarks: do not miss the durian pancake and the Sushi signature.
