Special September Food

For the month of July and August 2016, Nana's special food is Seafood with Soy Milk Soup Udon at MYR23.90 nett. For this month, it is Keema Curry Udon at the same price as last month's food.

This is a dry udon dish. From the photo, the curry is not apparent. Keema Curry Udon sauteed with caramelised onions and carrots with crispy vegetable salad with a poached egg. We are advised to mix well before enjoying this dish.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

I did not buy any mooncakes last year and I don't want to buy any this year too.

But when I went to Bake Plan to buy a golden lava croissant, I saw these cute but expensive moon cakes selling at MYR6+ each so I bought three of them at a total of MYR19.10 nett after adding in the 6% GST. All of them have a small piece of salted egg yolk in them.

Cross section view. I bought one white lotus and another one with lotus paste fillings. Tastes fine, too small for me to taste it in depth and I can't afford to buy more of them.

The 3rd one has red bean paste fillings.

Here's wishing Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone who is celebrating it!

Golden Lava Croissant

At last, I went to Bake Plan to get their salted egg yolk croissant.

One at MYR6.50+ (MYR6.90 nett after 6% GST). It is smaller and lighter than the original from Le Bread Days.

Very crispy, even the inner layers are crispy.

Salted egg yolk custard uncovered!

Flowing...

...Golden Lava...

No strong eggy taste because the vanilla taste managed to cover the eggy taste. Good for people who is afraid of strong egg taste. I prefer the original one from Le Bread Days because I prefer strong eggy taste and because it is bigger and has more fillings.

Tokyo Ramen

After reading that PH highly recommend the ramen at Tokyo Ramen, we made our way there during the long weekend and tried three types of ramen broth - Miso (Miso added to Tonkotsu broth), Tonkotsu and Dragon (Miso broth with added spiciness).

Special Miso Ramen as recommended by PH - MYR27.90++ which comes to MYR32.53 nett after adding 10% service charge and 6% GST. Very delicious, we can taste the pork bone broth beneath the miso taste and a bit of shoyu taste. Value for money too as an onsen egg and bamboo shoots are included by default.

The pork slices are thick too.

We ordered a mini Tonkotsu ramen set for MYR16++ (MYR18.66 nett) which comes with a small bowl of rice and three pieces of fried chicken. The Tonkotsu broth is very flavourful with the smokiness of pork bone but it is not as salty as the miso broth so it is suitable for people who could not take salty food.

The other set we ordered is the mini Dragon set for MYR16++ (MYR18.66 nett) which includes a mini don (rice) and we chose to have a bowl of sake mentai (salmon and roe) rice from the various rice bowl choices. The Dragon broth is superb for people who like spicy broth - the broth has a wonderful fragrance of roasted chilli that puts this as the winner of the 3 types of broth that we ordered.

The sake mentai is on the salty side as expected since the mentai is supposed to be salty.

A close up view of the mini bowl of Dragon Ramen. Lots of ingredients. 

Size comparison. We also ordered two portions of green tea which was served in two small tea pots - MYR2.90++ per portion (MYR3.38 nett).

Total bill is MYR76.60 nett for 4 pax.

Tokyo Ramen is now our to-go-to-Ramen-eatery. Thanks PH for recommending this.

Coffee Shop Fare

In the evening, Kam Heong Coffee Shop in PJ New Town serves Teo Chew style braised duck and pork trotters but in the afternoon, it has a few stalls that sell noodles and roast meat with rice. We were there one afternoon for lunch and these are the food we ate:

Penang style prawn noodle aka Penang Hokkien Mee - MYR6.50 nett. Anyone missing Penang Hokkien Mee can eat it here.

Curry noodle with blood cockles - MYR6.50 nett. Acceptable.

Roast pork chinese style only without rice aka siew yoke - MYR8 nett. Crispy skin so decent enough.

BBQ pork aka char siew with chicken rice - MYR6 nett. The rice is tasty and the char siew is acceptable.

Corner shop lot

This shop has no signboard with an English name, only this chinese name.
