Oden FamilyMart

FamilyMart was having 25% off its Oden so we bought some oden as snacks. We find the crabstick to be worth buying again as it has two different textures whereas the rest can be found in other eateries as fish balls or other processed food.

I bought the Strawberry Softserve cup because the familymart app promo takes MYR 1 off but because the strawberry sauce is out of stock, this tastes just like a big softserve cone and it was too much for me so if I knew beforehand that the strawberry sauce is not available, I would not have ordered this because it was an ordeal to eat so much softserve ice cream at one go.

Total bill is MYR 10.20 nett which is a good price because the oden are expensive without 25% off. Another good thing is FamilyMart accepts credit card payment.

We noticed that Old Town White Coffee at Midvalley Mall has been replaced by this eatery named Sek Tong with the tagline "Dine in the 70's" so I wonder what food it will be serving.

 Waroeng Penyet at Midvalley Mall seems to have a queue during lunch afterall.

Set lunch menu from Zok Noodle House, Midvalley Mall which includes a cup of coffee at MYR 14.95 nett. The broth tastes sweet which I think is too sweet for a bowl of savoury pork noodle.

Credit card payment is accepted.

Saw this jade earrings on a poster. Do you think they are pretty or too big?

New drink stall from Australia is in Gardens Mall since Dec 2019. Instead of bubble tea, it serves rice in yogurt drinks. My friend says the purple rice in yogurt drink is very tasty but I could not bring myself to try it yet. You can read more about this drink stall at this url.

WG 123 Gasing cafe

My lunch order - seabass rice bowl at MYR 19 nett. One of the 3 rice bowls from the set lunch menu. The other rice bowls are vegetarian rice bowl and chicken rice bowl. The seabass fish (siakap) is fresh but they put a bit too much soy sauce deep fried garlic on top of the fish as garnishing so it is a bit on the salty side but overall, apart from the saltiness, this dish is tasty with the sugar snap peas and mushrooms.

The small bowl of soup is a bit oily with lots of onion slices in it so I did not drink it. Side view of the fish with its tender white flaky fish meat. Two of us ordered this dish.

The 4 of us paid for our meals separately so we received individual receipt each.

My friend's pan fried 170g salmon on pesto sauce at MYR 38 nett.

Side view of the thick salmon fish.

Aglio chicken at MYR 24 nett. Served piping hot.

My 3 friends shared this pandan layered gula malacca cake at MYR 11 nett. I was too full to eat desserts although I gave two tablespoonfuls of rice to my friend.

Side view of the cake which my friends said was very tasty because of its strong pandan taste and fragrant coconut flakes. The cake is not too sweet so it was not cloying. Despite its name, my friends said that they could not taste any gula malacca in the cake, I wonder why. Perhaps they just use gula malacca as the sugar for baking the pandan layered cake.

My friend's mocha coffee at MYR 13.50 nett. Thick and creamy.

123 Gasing cafe at Jalan Gasing, PJ (same row as Ipoh Chicken Rice, Gasing branch).

Entrance to the air-conditioned dining area.

Counter facing the non air-conditioned dining area.

Cake counter in the air conditioned dining area. They sell many types of cheese cakes. Each slice of cheese cakes costs MYR 15 nett each.

Storefront - 123 Gasing Cafe - this cafe has been here for quite a while I believe so it has a low-key frontage.

New Sarawak Laksa stall at PopCorn

 I noticed this new Sarawak Laksa stall last Saturday (15 Feb 2020) at PopCorn Food Court, Midvalley Mall.

 This is the menu. Looks good with reasonable price.

 So I ordered mee sua chicken at MYR 10.90 nett. The mee sua and mushroom is a bit on the salty side. The soup doesn't have any wine in it and the chicken drumstick is a bit on the tough side. Overall, it is ok.

Stall 8A Sarawak Laksa by PLH Global Enterprise.

 My friend ordered watercress soup MYR 7.30 nett and Steam Rice with chicken and cloud ear fungus for MYR 9.90 nett from Kim Zen stall.

Total price of the food from Kim Zen stall is MYR 17.20 nett.

*** breakfast on Sunday 16 Feb 2020 ***

 our usual eatery, Friendship cafe is filled with people so we ate breakfast at Old Ipoh Cafe nearby. Jumbo curry noodles at MYR 15.80 nett, plain horfun soup noodles ar MYR 4.50 nett and white coffee o at MYR 3.80 nett. Prices are higher than our usual eatery but it is for the convenience.

total price is MYR 24.10 nett.

*** late lunch on Sunday 16 Feb 2020 ***

Pork noodles at MYR 6.50 nett, roasted chicken breast meat in mee hoon soup (customised order) at MYR 6.50 nett and a glass of hot tea at MYR 0.50 nett at New Lian Hin coffee shop at Happy Garden, KL.

*** 14 Feb 2020 Friday ***

Saw this makeshift stall selling Valentine's Day gifts on the night of 14 Feb 2020 (Friday) at Jaya Shopping Center. Guess it is for last minute purchases. Do you like to receive gifts like this on Valentine's day?

WG Slow Coffee again

Last Friday, we went to The Hub, SS2 for lunch for the 4th time in a row. It was back to Slow Coffee Cafe to celebrate a friend's birthday. My friend's pumpkin soup at MYR 13+ (10% service charge at MYR 14.30 nett).

3 of us ordered this Omelette Mushroom with Truffle Oil at MYR 21+ (MYR 23.10 nett). Portion is just right for me as I can finished the whole dish without feeling too full.

Baked eggs with Chorizo at MYR 26+ (MYR 28.60 nett). My friend loves this dish as it is very flavourful. I like the fact that it has a lot of capsicums on it. I think I will be too full if I finish eating this dish.

This is the birthday meal - Slow Breakfast with Sunny Side up eggs at MYR 28+ (MYR 30.80 nett). I believe the toppings are quinoa.

A lighted candle on top of the Pu Erh Ice Cream made by this cafe itself. Souffle Pancake with Pu Erh Ice Cream at MYR 18+ (MYR 19.80 nett) shared by 5 pax.

Total bill for 5 pax is MYR 162.80 nett.

*** Breakfast for two pax ***

Pork Yee Mee at MYR 6.50 nett, Hainam Tea Hot at MYR 1.80 nett and half a bowl of pan mee noodles with yinchoy at MYR 7 at Swee Hing Coffee Shop, Sri Petaling.

*** Dinner due to rain ***

 The traffic is too congested to go home so have to hang out in Jaya shopping center until the traffic has eased. Since I don't eat much for dinner but for today to warm the tummy, I ate a small bowl of curry mee hoon from Ah Cheng Laksa at MYR 7.20 nett.

Bill for one pax - Junior Curry Laksa at MYR 6.80+ 6% sst = MYR 7.20 nett.

Ah Cheng Laksa at Jaya shopping center, in between I love Yoo and Mr. CKT.

WG Curry Chicken Prosperity Bowl

We went to Prosperity Bowl, SS2, PJ for lunch again and this time I ordered just a bowl of curry chicken (small) at MYR 7.50 nett from the ala carte menu. I have to say that I got hungry very fast after this so next time, I need to order more than this small bowl of curry chicken which contains 2 pieces of chicken and 2 pieces of potatoes.

My friends ordered curry noodles at MYR 8.50 nett, dry chicken noodles at MYR 9.50 nett and a portion of chicken at MYR 7.50 nett with a small bowl of rice at MYR 1.50 nett so the total bill is MYR 34.50 nett.

*** WG Lunch on 12 Dec 2019 ***

Set Lunch of Prawn Pasta and Tea at MYR 22 nett at Peter Hoe Cafe (JY Kitchen Sdn Bhd) at The Row, Jalan Doraisamy, KL which we have been to before in Aug 2017 but this time, they have closed the Crafts and Gifts Shop Adjoining section and just sell the crafts and gifts inside this cafe.

We paid for our own order so we get separate individual receipt.

WG Robataya Empire Subang

This was a lunch in mid November 2019 (last year). We have eaten at Robataya in One Utama so this time we went to the branch in Empire Subang. My friend ordered the Buta Kyushu Set at MYR 22++ (10% service charge and 6% SST = MYR 25.52 nett).

I ordered iced matcha ice cream drink at MYR 15++ (MYR 17.40 nett) and chawan mushi at MYR 6++ (MYR 6.96 nett).

I also ordered salmon fried rice at MYR 9++ (MYR 10.44 nett) which I kept most of the rice. So my lunch costs MYR 34.80 nett which is much more than my friend's set lunch so next time it is more prudent to order the set lunch.

Total price for 2 pax is MYR 60.30 nett.

*** Food on 2 Nov 2019 (Sat) ***

Pork noodles at MYR 9.90 nett from Ding Xiang Xpress Sang Nyuk Mee Stall 12A at PopCorn Food Court, Midvalley Mall.

The receipt.

Less sweet hot cham drink (coffee mixed with tea aka Ying Yong) which is too milky for my friend so I had to finish drinking it. 

This is the price list for the mixed rice stall at PopCorn Food Court in Midvalley Mall in Nov 2019 for the record. When compared to the price list in 2018, the price has increased by 30 cents for the 1st four categories from MYR 7.50 nett to MYR 7.80 nett.


On the same day, we had late lunch / early dinner at Rakuzen - Unagi bento set at MYR 33+ (6% SST = MYR 34.98 nett).

Our usual Salmon at MYR 26+ (MYR 27.56 nett) and add MYR 10+ (MYR 10.60 nett) to turn it into a set lunch so in total the price is MYR 38.16 nett. Kept half for later because two sets are too much for two of us.
