Madam Jean Pan Mee

From the Aeon Midvalley Food Street, we bought a bowl of organic spinach pan mee at MYR10.90 nett. Passable taste.

This is the stall we bought it from. Please click on the above photo for a larger version in order to read the food items listed on the menu board.

Food Street

Aeon Mid Valley Food Street (food court) has opened on 28 May 2016. It is located near the existing Aeon Supermarket.

This is one of the entrances to the same food street/court and is located near the Aeon Big Supermarket.

 This stalls sells healthy sandwiches and salad as takeaways.

Rendang Atuk has been relocated here as well. I think Kebab Turki may be a new stall.

Noodles and rice bowl meals cooked in Japanese style. There are many food stalls and these shown here in this post are just some of them.

Udon and Tempura counter.

Teishoku means set meals.

Bentong Chicken Rice

My plate of roasted chicken breast meat. There are no fats underneath the skin so I ate the roasted skins as well. Even thought it is breast meat, it is very tender and sweet.

A portion of mix steamed chicken meat with roast pork with rice costs MYR10.90 nett. The ginger dip is so tasty that we had to request for another portion and we finished eating all the ginger dip at the end of our meal. No MSG at all in the ginger dip as I was not tasty after eating so much of the ginger dip.

I requested for half a portion of rice that comes with my roast chicken and of course is charged the same price of MYR7.90 nett.

A small pot of water cress and pork soup for us to share at MYR7.90 nett.

As the prices are nett, the total bill came up to MYR26.70 nett for our early dinner.

The counter with all the roasted and steamed chickens faces the walk way so customers who pass by can see their products.

Bentong Chicken Rice serves chicken reared in Bentong. It is a new eatery in Jalil Link.

Nyonya Not

 At the end of May, I went to AA Meat Shop (http://www.aameatshop.com.my/) to buy some An Xin's brand fresh pork ribs and saw that the meat shop was selling some frozen dumplings so I bought a Nyonya dumpling at MYR6.90 nett to try.

After steaming it, I was disappointed to see that this Nyonya dumpling is not blue in colour. The minced pork fillings within the glutinous rice is not sweet at all and I couldn't taste any candied wintermelon within the minced meat so I don't think this is an authentic Nyonya dumpling but it is also not the normal type of bak chang that I am used to with black-eyed beans or mung beans, mushrooms, a chunk of pork meat, chestnuts, salted egg yolks so I think it tried to be a Nyonya chang but did not come even close.

The receipt above did say that it is a Nyonya Dumpling at MYR6.90 nett. Must remember not to buy chang/chung from this meat shop.

An Viet

That one day has finally arrived where the two of us ate at this eatery serving Vietnamese Food since the last time we browsed its menu in mid Nov 2015. The sad thing is that the food item that we wanted to try which is Banh It Ram is no longer available. The waiter says it is because it is difficult to get the ingredients to make it but I suspect it is because it takes longer to prepare and not many people would want to pay MYR9.90++ for just two deep fried sticky rice dumplings.

When Baby Sumo reviewed this eatery back in Dec 2015, she took very clear photos of this Banh It Ram and I was so keen then to try it. Should have just gone and tried it then after reading it but it is too late now. I wonder which other eatery serves this Banh It Ram which is a white sticky mochi ball filled with pork, mung bean and shrimp that sits on top of another layer of deep fried sticky mochi that is crispy outside but soft and chewy inside. Doesn't that sound so very tasty? I even looked up the recipe for Banh It Ram should anyone here wants to try to make them.

Since Banh It Tram is no longer available, we settled for one set meal of grilled Vietnamese pork chop with rice with 3 small bites of the day that turned out to be a very small bowl of clam soup, salad and a tiny spring roll for MYR21.90++ which comes up to about MYR25.50 nett after adding 6% GST and 10% service charge.

When we were asked, we chose the largest portion of rice which weighs 200 grams since we were confident that we could finish eating 200 grams of rice which we did. The price stays the same for all the portion sizes of rice.

The grilled pork chop is tasty due to the lemon grass taste but we would prefer it to be less salty and the pork chop to be more juicy. Since the portion of the small bites is so tiny, I think next time we would just order this pork chop rice from the ala carte menu at MYR16.90++ (MYR19.70 nett). The photo for this pork chop rice in the ala carte menu does not show the sunny side up egg so maybe the egg is not included but we will ask the waiter before ordering it if ever there is a next time.

Another look at the set meal from another angle to emphasise the tiny portion of the 3 small bites of the day that costs MYR5++ (MYR5.85 nett). The set meal does not include a drink.

We ordered one fresh spring roll from the ala carte menu at MYR8.90++ which is about MYR10.40 nett.

All the ingredients inside the spring roll are raw except for the vermicelli and prawn. Quite refreshing to eat raw vegetables rolled inside a sheet of translucent rice paper. 

Since drinks are not provided in the set meals, we ordered hot drip coffee from the ala carte menu at MYR7.90++ which is about MYR9.20 nett. This Vietnamese coffee is very strong and bitter so for those who can't stand bitter coffee, a small cup of condensed milk is supplied for you to add it to the coffee.

There are 5 items on the set meal menu for you to choose.

And we chose this set - grilled vietnamese pork chop with rice.

If I am eating alone, I would have selected the 120g portion of rice since I always ask for half portion of rice whenever I eat alone but for noodles, I think I should be able to handle 160g. More eateries should follow this example of requesting customers not to waste food and only choose the portion of rice or noodles that suits their appetites.

Total bill is MYR45.10 for 2 pax. Since both of us finished all our food, MYR0.10 is donated to KOTO from our bill by this eatery.

An Viet is located on the lowest ground floor of the Gardens mall next to Village Roast Duck.

McD Cendol

After the Lychee Sundae, now it is the Cendol Sundae promotion. It tastes like milky gula melaka (palm sugar).  Quite nice, not too sweet for me.

There are two types - cendol flavour only or a mix of cendol and vanilla flavours. They will use green ice cream cones for these new flavours but we requested for the usual light brown ice cream cones instead.

The new Cendol flavoured Sundae Cone costs MYR2 nett each. Other than this new flavour, there are also longan aka mata kucing sundae in cups.

Sweet Saturday

What is this?

A very sweet doughnut named Oreo Cheesecake. The toppings are crushed Oreo and I believe the filings are cheese whipped cream. About MYR3.20 for one. Don't think I will eat this again.
