WG Weekday Lunches

Here are some of the lunch places that we frequent during weekdays.

Good Golly Miss Molly at Millenium Square, PJ is my friend's favourite lunch place due to their coffee. So far, I have eaten cakes, duck pasta, Penne Pasta with Beef Meatballs, and salted egg pasta.

This time I ordered the fish and chips at MYR 18 nett. From the taste, this is not dory fish but I am not sure what fish it is because I did not ask. I like the thick chips.

My friend's chicken chop at MYR 16 nett. Just look at those delicious thick chips.

Sometimes we do something out of the norm, such as eat durian during lunch. Before that, we had a savoury lunch at Uncle Don, SS2 because it is within walking distance to SS2 Durian, PJ.

Grilled Chicken Chop at MYR 14.60+ (6% SST - MYR 15.47 nett). As chicken is not on top of my food list, I took almost the whole piece home for my family and ate only a bit of chicken meat.

This is a set lunch so ice cream and lemon teas are included.

Total Bill for 4 pax is MYR59.80 nett so it is about MYR 15 nett per pax.

After lunch at Uncle Don, we walked to SS2 Durian and found that the price is high on 14-6-2019 but we still went ahead and bought two durians to share between the 4 of us.

1.5 kg XO durian at MYR 28 per kg so it costs MYR 42 nett. It is sweet but the flesh is a bit watery.

A one kg Jiu Ji durian at MYR 25 per kg. Sweet with a tinge of bitter taste. So far for this year, we have only eaten durian during lunch time once which is on 14-6-2019.

In the revamped menu, the lotus wrapped rice set is now priced lower at MYR 16.80 nett with only two choices for drinks - buckwheat tea or brown rice green tea and instead of a small bowl of jelly, they now serve a small appetiser (beancurd and braised peanuts) which changes daily. Back in 2016, the set is priced at MYR21.90 nett. In 2017, this dish is priced at MYR 16.10 nett on the ala carte menu of the Zun Express in Midvalley Mall.

Total price for 2 pax is MYR 33.60 nett.

My friend's favourite Pan Mee stall is at Hock Thai coffee shop but I prefer to order other food after trying the Pan Mee once.

On one visit, I ordered the curry yellow noodle mixed with mee hoon at MYR 6.50 nett and chose to have two pieces of yong tofu (brinjal and bittergourd) instead of the usual ingredients (chicken meat).

On another visit, I just ate one small lo mai kai (chicken in glutinous rice) for MYR 4 nett. I think for future visits to this hot coffee shop, I will stick with this lo mai kai because I can finish it without taking any home and the glutinous rice is soft without being mushy so it is tasty.

My friend likes to eat at Ah Ma Kitchen at Jaya One, PJ. So far, I have only eaten tong sui such as bubur cha cha, bak chang and deep fried wantons there.

The last visit, I decided to just order the dish that my friends order so the three of us ordered curry noodle at MYR 10.90 nett with different types of noodles. I tried having kway teow in curry and though it tastes good mixed with mihun, I will go back to having mihun only in curry because mihun will soak up more curry gravy so it will be tastier. The weird thing is my friend says that she likes to eat this curry because it does not have that much coconut milk (not lemak) but to me the curry tastes creamy enough due to the coconut milk.

3 curry noodles so the total is MYR 32.70 nett.

Kimchi Fries Bulgogi Beef

One day I just feel like eating this Kimchi Fries with Bulgogi Beef from KGB so I bought one serving as takeaway from the outlet in Midvalley Mall. They just put it like the above (top view) inside a paper bag. The price is now MYR 15.50 nett as compared to MYR 14.90 nett back in Oct 2015 which is almost 3 years ago.

It has sour cream and melted cheese on top of the kimchi bulgogi beef slices so it has high calories. I ate half and let my friend have the other half. So satisfying. 

One paper bag for takeaway. Life is too short for harboring bad feelings over whatever.

Total price is MYR 15.50 nett but since I ate half, my share should be MYR 7.75 nett about the price of a plate of chap fan (mixed rice) with 1 meat and 2 veges in a shopping mall.

Specialty Fries

Back in Jan 2015, I mentioned that I will be back to try KGB's specialty fries and milk shake and now I did.

Specialty Fries (one portion) and KGB burger.

Kimchi Fries Fully Loaded comes with a sunny side up egg so it is a no for me. Will try the Texas Jalapeno Steak and Cheese Fries Beef next time.

The Kimchi Fries (with Bulgogi Beef) - MYR14.90 nett - It used to be MYR13.90 nett back in Jan this year. Looks really messy after I got to the fries below the cheese and  sour cream. There are slices of sweet bulgogi beef  and leaves of sourish spicy kimchi. Some of the kimchi look and taste like sweet mui choy. This was a huge portion so I only ate a quarter of it and shared the rest with my family.

Choose a more affordable simple burger at MYR13.90 nett

When will I ever learn? This medium is too red for me. I have to ask for medium well next time. I ate half of this and gave the other half to my sibling.

The got-to-try milkshake is Nutella S'mores or Salted Caramel Pralines but as I think both will be too sweet for me and because I like strawberry, I ordered Strawberry Season for MYR12 nett.

Very smooth, more like drinking your strawberry sundae through a straw. Where are the fresh strawberries as stated in the menu above? I drank two third of this and gave one third to my sibling so I was very full due to the fat content and did not eat dinner at all because I was still full at night except for one orange even though I ate this meal at 11.15 am.

Total Bill: MYR40.80 for a very fattening and filling lunch (although I did not finish eating all the food)

*** Update: 12 Aug 2018 (Sun) - Price for "The Shack" after about 3 years is now MYR 14.50 nett (increased by MYR 0.6 nett) after GST has been removed. There seems to be beef tendon in the beef patty making it a bit difficult to chew so it is not something easy to eat afterall.
