Dim Sum, Melaka

September 30, 2008 · Filed under Chinese

This is the outdated post actually. Been there about one or two weeks ago.

“Yong Mao coffee shop”. My favourite place for dim sum in Melaka. Located near Kuan Yin Temple (Sorry, i really do not pay attention at the road name).

Chinese tea, good to have it with dim sum.

Hubby’s favourite porridge. He said this is the most original way of having porridge with few “yu char kuey” on top.

Glutinous rice wrapped with “he ye”, or we called “he ye fan” in mandarin. I will surely order this everytime i come here. Actually the taste a bit like “ba zhang”, but this one is more fragrant, the “he ye” fragrant.

Few plates of dim sum. A must have are the steam pork ribs. Very good!! Also, some says the “bau” here is good. But this time we didn’t order because the porridge, “he ye fan” and few plates of dim sum is enough for both of us.

One more thing is good to reach here early morning around 7.45am to 8.30am because not so much people yet and quite easily to secure a table. If not, you have to wait. :-P

Claypot Chicken Rice, Tengkera

September 21, 2008 · Filed under Chinese, Hawker food

Suddenly thought of having claypot chicken rice at Tengkera. Remembered we always been there during my college times when i came back from KL. The foodcourt is only opened at night time, located at the main road of Tengkera, just beside a school with big field (i don’t know what school is that :-P ) and traffic light just few metres away.

I failed to take clearer picture of the signboard.

Here’s the zoom photo of the signboard. :-P

The chili sauce. Usually i would keep on snap photos while waiting the food to be served. Hubby always feels paiseh to take food photos because he said everybody is looking. But i don’t care. I just take and take as i like. I don’t care people looking at me. :-P

The claypot chicken rice is served. The boss will “kacau” evenly the rice for us. Actually i wanted to ask him no need to “kacau” so i can take a photo, but he was too fast. :-(

After the rice being evenly ‘kacau”. hehe….

Included are chicken meat (obviously, *stupid*), “lap cheong” and salty fish. Actually i love the “lap cheong” the most. But the chicken meat is so little compared to last time, and it is not as tasty as before. The rice is stucked at the claypot wall even though the boss and hubby already “kacau” it at the beginning. So the some of the rice like “berketul-ketul”, which i really don’t like.                   

Never mind, hubby ordered bbq chicken wing. Yeah…one of our favourite bbq chicken wing in Melaka.

Some part of the chicken wings were over grilled i guess because the skin was ‘chau tah”. hehe… Other than this, the chicken wings still remain its tastiness as before. :-)

Conclusion, i will looking for another good claypot chicken rice to substitute this one. :-P

Cosmo Noodle Bar, Melaka Raya

September 19, 2008 · Filed under Cafe, Western

Me and sister went to Cosmo Noodle Bar to have light dinner before i went to KL for training. No idea what to have for our dinner, but due to the strong sun and hot weather, then we decided to look for air-con restaurant. Then immediately i think of Cosmo Noodle Bar, good environment and sister never been there yet.

My detox flower tea. Especially ordered this because i already few days didn’t able to go toilet. :-D Feel so good having tea. I love tea so much. :-D

Vegetables in oyster sauce. Not that nice. Would not order this again. :-P

This pork mini burger is good! The bread is being fried a bit i guess, because it was a bit crunchy at the top layer, but soft inside. The small mini pork chop is juicy and licking good!!!

The close-up of the mini pork burger. Looks delicious isn’t it? :-P

I forgot how much the total bill come with 2 drinks, mini pork burger and one vege. But i remembered it is not exceeded RM30.

(This post took me so long time because of the photo loading -.-”’)

Fried Oyster, Muar

September 6, 2008 · Filed under Hawker food

It has been some time i didn’t have fried oyster. For fried oyster, i will only think of one place, MUAR. Last tuesday (public holiday for Melaka), i asked hubby if want to go Muar to have fried oyster. He agreed. I was over the moon!!! :-D

I do not know what is the lane call. But if you ask local people, they are able to direct you. Just mention to them near Senyum supermarket, a lane with lots of hawker stalls. :-P My auntie always told me Muar is so small which just have few lanes. So you will not get lost. haha

So happy when see this uncle!!! He is doing the fried oyster. I tell you, he is so generous when comes to oyster. He will normally cook in a bulk. With lots of egg, and few scoops of oyster. Then he will put the fried oyster onto the paper plate or normal plate according to customer’s order. He is not calculative in giving the oysters. Once i ordered RM4 fried oyster and there was 8 big oysters!!! :-D But in melaka, you will only get max 4 oyster. yeah….about RM1 for each oyster. haha.. That’s why i do not like to eat melaka fried oyster, even the famous Bunga Raya fried oyster. Another thing is not just the oyster, the size of the oyster in Melaka is freaking small and they put a lot of flour instead of egg.

Egg’s shell are stack up nicely. So cute. :-)

This photo is taken by me. Notice the big oyster? Hehe… :-P

This photo is taken by hubby, at different angle. From this photo, you can see the fried egg is so fluffy and yummy!! haha

Other than fried oyster, hubby ordered wan tan mee. Okay, for taste wise, not so nice, very very normal and hubby said a bit tasteless. :-( But the mee texture is so thin. It’s very different with Melaka one. Not recommended. haha

In fact, i only know this place to have hawker food everytime i visit Muar. After taken our dinner, we went to Wetex Parade. It was so quiet. We went back within 1 hour time after Wetex Parade. Muar….is kinda boring. No wonder so many Johor people flooded Melaka during weekends or public holiday. Although Melaka is a small state, but Melaka has quite a number of shopping centres like Mahkota Parade, Dataran Pahlawan, Parkson Grand, Jusco, Tesco, Giant, Carrefour, and now Jusco is opening a second branch beside Tesco!! I could not imagine the traffic then!!! :-S

Loong Kee Chicken Rice, Plaza Malim Industrial Park

September 3, 2008 · Filed under Asian

We went to Loong Kee chicken rice shop last weekend and surprisingly, it was so packed!!! Why?? I don’t expect so much people as it was quite late noon, around 2pm something and that day was first day of the lunar month, supposingly, more people will take vegetarian on that day (just my naive thinking). I initially wanted to take vegetarian also, but the shop that i usually go closed as it was Sunday.

We waited more than 15-20 minutes to wait the lady boss to take our order. Hubby started to lose patient, because the lady boss don’t even want to layan us and asked us to sit down and wait. Then, we noticed she told everybody the same. People sat beside our table also could not wait and walked away after he kept ask the lady boss to take order, but the lady boss kept asked him to wait, saying not your turn yet. :-P

But once she took our order, the food served quite fast. So this is the trick!!! Do not lose patient and walk away just because she don’t take your order. hehe.

chili sauce
chili sauce

The chili sauce is fresh, spicy and a bit sour. Imagine hubby who normally could not finish even one small plate of chili sauce, now can add on for second small plate. :-P

the rice

the rice

The just nice fluffy rice….

Beansprout

Beansprout

The beansprout is fresh, crunchy as you can feel the crunchiness when you bite. Not oily as compare to Ipoh beansprout. But Ipoh beansprout is shorter and fatter lah.

Here it comes. The main course. Steamed chicken. The skin is a bit thick but you will want to eat the chicken skin even though it is thick because it is just so delicious. The meat is juicy and tender. Hubby temper immediately lost once the chicken serves infront him. The meal costs us only RM14 includes drinks. Cheap…cheap….Hubby said this chicken rice can somehow beat the famous chicken rice ball in town.

Wow, finally i created my own food blog. I did not think of this idea until hubby said that i can create a blog just for food. Actually i think of this very long time ago, just i’ve no time to do and can’t think of any idea.

I have been thinking a name for my food blog few days and my initial food blog name is “my food blog”. But this name already been taken at blogspot. So sad. Then suddenly i thought of wordpress. Then i try to open an account at wordpress, and i fall in love with the user-friendly functions. Another function that really ease my work is the “import” function where i can import my post from blogspot to wordpress. Cool isn’t it? :-P   But one bad thing is, it must import the whole thing from blogspot, not selective. So after i imported all the post, i need to delete the not food related posts and edit the category name. fuhyoh….finally done. :-D
