SeaSalt Blue IC n WG MaliCai

For lunch, we visited Er Lou Cafe at Section 17, PJ again. As I have mentioned here that I will order the fried noodles malicai if I eat here again, this time I did order it. Fried noodles Mali Cai at MYR 12.90+ and top up MYR 1.50+ for any drink from the menu so I selected barley lime without any sugar so the total price for my lunch is MYR 15.84 nett.

The fried noodles Mali Cai is on the oily and salty with a tinge of sweet side. It reminded me of the Blood Cockles / See Ham fried noodles that I used to eat when young. Mali Cai  (马尼菜) is Sauropus androgynus, also known as star gooseberry, or sweet leaf, cekur manis, sayur manis, or cangkuk manis. I like to eat Mali Cai and the pieces of eggs in this dish but would prefer the noodles to be less salty. I kept half the noodles for dinner.

My friend's Char Siew Thin Noodles (large portion) at MYR 11.90+ (MYR 13.09 nett).

Both my friends top up MYR 1.50+ to add on a drink from their drink menu so the total price is MYR 45.30 nett which means on average, it costs MYR 15.10 nett per person to have a main meal plus a drink at this eatery.

*** Ice cream ***

Sea Salt Blue and Strawberry ice cream from Family Mart at MYR 2.90 nett each. I like the Strawberry ice cream because it has a tinge of sour taste to it whereas for the sea salt blue ice cream, I cannot detect any special taste - just sweet but my friends say that it tastes like soap due to having  bicarbonate which leads to the baking soda soapy taste. I have no idea whether or not there are baking soda in the blue ice cream but as I have a high tolerance to the taste of baking soda, I could not detect it.

Strawberry ic from McD. It does not have a tinge of sour taste so it is not as tasty as the strawberry ice cream from Family Mart. The price is MYR 2 nett each but the McD app offers two strawberry ice cream for MYR 3 nett so it means MYR 1.50 nett each which is a good deal so I have been eating just too many McD strawberry ic with the promo from the hp app.

Sitting cost

One day, I arrived early for work at 7am and the office would only be opened at 9am so I had two hours to kill. I found an air-conditioned eatery serving breakfast nearby and in order to sit there for two hours I had to order some food.

I was not interested in eating nasi lemak or those ready-cooked stir fried noodles so my other options were either fish ball hor fun for MYR4.50 or maggie mee for MYR3.50 and I chose the latter. I was asked chicken or curry flavour and I decided on chicken flavour because I did not fancy eating spicy food that early in the morning.

So here's the maggie mee in chicken flavoured soup. Good to see that there was an egg and some vege which I think is cangkuk manis. I know, I know, I can cook this at home myself but then I was really paying rent for sitting there for two hours.
