13 Dishes 12 Ringgit

On Sunday 28.jul.2024, back to the routine of chapfan no rice at Tuck Tuck Tei Taman Desa. Bought iced black coffee and 2 Sando at family mart.

*** Tuck Tuck Tei ***

10.04 am - my chapfan no rice MYR 12 nett in which I scoop a bit of 13 dishes:

1. One braised egg

2. One scoop of steamed egg 

3. 6 pieces of petai

4. Broccoli, celery, cauliflower 

5. Green beans

6. Bitter gourd

7. Brinjal

8. Two Potato wedges

9. One piece of steamed white tofu

10. One piece of soy deep fried tofu

11. 4 pieces of egg tofu

12. One piece of sweet sour deep fried tofu

13. Okra

10.04 am - his chapfan no rice MYR 10 nett with one steamed chicken thigh, yin choy, egg bitter gourd and soy knot.

Morning 44.2

Next morning 44.3

*** Sing Kee kitchen ***

11.01 am - he bought takeaway a mixture of sausage, steamed chicken and siew yuk MYR 20 nett and they gave him 3 different sauces.

*** Iced long coffee ***

11.01 am - bought one cup of iced long black coffee MYR 5.90 nett, chocolate cherries sando MYR 6.80 nett expiry date 29jul2024 and strawberry sando MYR 7.80 nett expiry date 30jul2024. Total MYR 20.60 nett.

He ate a bit of each by putting cinnamon powder on the chocolate cherries sando and by putting pure erythritol crystalline powder non-gmo on the strawberry sando. He says he prefers the strawberry sando because the strawberry is sourish.

I have a theory that the 3rd time won't be so tasty and it was true in this case. I think maybe I am influenced by my theory.

Here is a tale:

I was given a cup of iced latte MYR 6.90 nett so I said I ordered and paid for a cup of iced long black coffee MYR 5.90 nett and I didn't accept the latte. The girl said sorry it turned into latte because she went to collect payment from the customer in the queue and the coffee machine continued to put in milk so she poured the latte into the sink and prepared a new cup of drink: the iced long black coffee for me. I wonder is that the procedure by the company to pour and dispose the latte into the sink.

*** The End ***

Today is the last day of 2019. Anyone feeling sad that 2019 will be over soon?

Pop Pizza is a new eatery in Midvalley Mall that occupies the shop unit that used to house Speedy Video. This article states that Speedy Video closed its outlet in Midvalley Mall on Sunday, 15 Sept 2019.

Ori Udon at the Gardens Mall which I have eaten a meal there once in 2014 has been replaced by Lucky Mala Noodle which has a similar concept to Hotpot Kitchen in Midvalley Mall where customers select raw ingredients and pass it to the kitchen to be stir fried with a choice of spicy sauce that ranges from less spicy to very spicy. My friends considered eating lunch here but I asked them to go ahead while I eat at another place because I don't like having any of their sauces so my friends very kindly say that they will accompany me instead and did not eat lunch at this new eatery.

Jonker Sweets Dessert at the Gardens Mall has been replaced by this kiosk selling kuih lapis. I tried a tiny piece and found it to be very sweet so I did not buy any.

The name is Ambon Boenda.

Whenever we are at Midvalley Mall before 10 am, we will walk around looking for breakfast and one day we saw this signboard but we did not eat here because we have to pay extra for drinks that do not have attractive prices.

Lunch at Hoagies, The Gardens Mall.

Finally I tried the food at Hoagies, The Gardens Mall after walking away from "Lucky Mala Noodle" to have this lunch set with drinks included for the price of MYR 19.90+ (10% service charge) which is MYR 21.90 nett.

My friends ordered the same dish - sweet and sour chicken baked rice to find that there is a layer of cheese underneath the sweet and sour chicken for MYR 21.90 nett.

I ordered the NYC Hoagies set lunch. Very tasty iced lemon passion fruit drink with passion fruit pulps and a slice of lemon in the drink. My friend asked for hot water to be added to her drink and they obliged so service is good. The beef slices in my sandwich is not as tender as I would have like them to be but overall I like this sandwich because there are many slices of red and green capsicum in the sandwich. I think this set lunch is value for money due to the nice drink and crispy fresh salad with black olives.

Total price for 3 pax is MYR 65.65 nett.

Is life like a box of donuts to you?

Since there is a promo by a telco service provider to get 3 free donuts when one buys 3 donuts, I selected the following flavours:
- coffee cinnamon
- almond flakes
- choc nuts
- peanut butter jam
- strawberry fillings
- blueberry fillings
Each donut costs MYR 3.30+ (6% SST = MYR 3.50 nett) so 3 donuts cost MYR 10.50 nett and due to the promo, I get 6 donuts which means 1 donut is MYR 1.75 nett which is half price which is a good deal.

Total price for 6 donuts from Dunkin' Donuts: MYR 10.50 nett.

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year! A happy 2020 year to all of you and may the year 2020 be smooth sailing for all of you! Anyone staying up to count down to 2020? I will be in bed snoozing away.

Fries

I think this sandwich provides too much fries and not enough greens. Safe to say I did not order this.

Easy meal

This is a meal ordered in a restaurant which I think can be easily prepared at home. Just buy a pack of salad, some tomatoes, grapes, kiwi fruits, cheese and ham, cut them up, toast two slices of bread, grill the ham slightly and you are good to go. What do you think?
