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.

Lotus Leaf Rice

Two of us ate lunch at Zun Express again and I remember being too full from ordering the set lunch so this time I ordered just one item from the ala carte menu with no drinks and no desserts.

One of my favourite food - Lotus Leaf Rice - ala carte price is MYR 13.80++ (10% service charge and 6% GST so the nett price is MYR 16.10 nett). Very soft rice which is what I prefer. Tasty!

Only the ala carte food item has the discount of the loyalty card.

2 not 1 equal 2 full

There are two sets of meal in the above photo. Total price is MYR54.35 nett. Usually at Zun Express we will order one set of meal to share but on this day I was very hungry so I ordered another set and ended up being too full. Can't win them all.

MYR19.80++ (MYR23.10 nett) for Chicken cooked with Yi Mu Cao (益母草 aka Chinese Motherwort) set. It comes with a bowl of plain rice and a drink (we chose a glass of hot luo han guo - Siraitia grosvenorii). Add on a bowl of soup for MYR8++ (MYR9.35 nett).

MYR18.80++ (MYR21.90 nett) for Lotus Wrapped Rice. It comes with a drink (we chose a glass of cold luo han guo) and a small bowl of jelly.

This is not glutinous rice. It is just white rice cooked with mushrooms and a few slices of meat wrapped in lotus leaf until the rice is very, very soft. Some may not like this as the rice is so soft that all the rice seem to stick together but I like it.
