Moved

We visited MB Four Seasons Place KL again for the delicious Penang Cendol to find that it is now occupying the shop unit next door.

Bigger seating area but it is still self service. After paying for the cendol, one needs to queue to collect the bowls of cendol when they are ready.

This shop unit used to be occupied by Encik Tan Cafe from Singapore under the same company Fei Siong as the MB food court. There is a notice on their fb that states that they are closing on 11 Sep 2018 without giving any reasons for the closure.

This time at the MB food court, we ate steamed chicken rice with beansprout at MYR 10+ (6% SST = MYR 10.60 nett) and Char Kway Teow at MYR 9+ (MYR 9.55 nett). I forgot to ask for no sauce for the chicken rice set so we find the rice and beansprout to be too flavourful (salty sweet) for us.

A plate of nasi lemak (MYR 3.50+) and one deep fried chicken thigh (MYR 5+) making it a total of MYR 8.50+ (MYR 9 nett). The rice is soft with a tinge of coconut milk. For my  friend who do not eat much sambal, the rice can be a bit dry as this stall does not have any other curry gravy to go with the rice. For those who will mix the rice with the sambal, they won't find the rice to be dry.

Should have eaten more times here when there is no SST.

Cendol is now MYR 3.18 nett per bowl. One of us had the hot signature barley soup (tong sui) to find it to be diluted and not worth having so never again. I think I will be back only around Christmas for the cendol. Parked at KLCC parking during a public holiday for MYR 5 nett (1st 3 hours).

47BD6 All Noodle Dishes

A Brunch before 1 Sept 2018.

Please click on the above photo to view a larger image.

We are back at the food court at Four Seasons Place KL. This time we ordered the recommended curry mee (MYR 9 nett for a regular portion) and add 1 piece of brinjal with fish paste fillings (MYR 2.50 nett); Char Kway Teow (MYR 9 nett for a regular portion) and Hokkien Mee (MYR 12 nett for a regular portion).

All 4 of us shared all the noodle dishes so even though they were not the best in the whole of this country but this was a very fulfilling meal as we get to eat a bit of each dish and each dish is tasty in its own way.

A bowl of Hokkien Prawn Noodle (MYR 10 nett for a regular portion) and add MYR 3 nett for a few pieces of pork ribs. This noodle is from the same stall as the Char Kway Teow above.

We also ate a bowl of cendol at MYR 3 nett each. Couldn't be at this food court without eating the delicious cendol.

Stall 5 for Char Kway Teow and Stall 1 for Curry Noodles.

Stall 6 for the Hokkien Mee and Stall 5 for the Hokkien Prawn Noodle.

Compared to our previous trip where we parked at KLCC car park, this time we parked at Four Season Place KL basement car park at the rate of MYR 5 nett for the 1st 3 hours.

Pop Corn Food Hall Midvalley

This used to be the Oasis Food Court in Midvalley Mall. Now it is Pop Corn Food Hall.

PopCorn stands for Popular Corner as stated by the words below the signboard. Many stalls have started operating in this food court with some familiar names such as Damansara Uptown Hokkien Mee, Prawn Noodle King and Lan Je Tilapia.

Prawn Noodle King

Siew Kei Pork Noodle

The dishes in this menu look good. Please click on the menus in this post for a larger image.

They have 3 types of broth with many types of noodles to select from. I will try the tomato and bitter gourd broth one day.

My friend ordered the signature pork noodle and added kidney and blood cubes for a total of MYR 17.30 nett.

My friend said the clear broth tastes good with the taste of wine. There are many thin strips of ginger to balance the heavy taste of the kidney and blood cubes.

For me, I am more interested in Lan Je Tilapia since I have been wanting to try the fish here after reading about Lan Je Tilapia, Ipoh in Claire's post back in Aug, 2016.

The set meals for 2 pax have reasonable price and offer a selection of steamed or deep fried tilapia fish.

The ala carte menu. I think I will try both the steamed and fried tilapia fish eventually.

One steamed medium fish for me at MYR 21.90 nett.

I requested for no dark sauce, just the ginger toppings but I think they forgot to inform the kitchen staff so I did not make a fuss. The standard sized table spoon next to the fish shows that the size is about 8 inches in length. 

The fish is fresh but there are just too many fine bones to be removed while eating the fish so I don't think I will eat this again after trying the fried version.

47BD5 Blue Moon Meal

Lunch for 4 pax before 1 Sept 2018.

A glass of hot floral tea at MYR 6.13+ (10% service charge = MYR 6.74 nett), a half eaten saucer of braised peanuts at MYR 1.89+ (MYR 2.08 nett) and a hot stone pot filled with fried multigrain rice with mushroom at MYR 23.58+ (MYR 25.94 nett) meant for 1 pax but we shared the fried rice between 4 pax.

2 bowls of plain white rice at MYR 2.83+ (MYR 3.11 nett) each and my favourite salted egg yolk prawns without shells dish at MYR 35.85+ (MYR 39.43 nett) which is just as delicious as before because the prawns are fresh and the salted egg yolk coating tastes so creamy and rich.

A plate of mixed vegetable stir-fry at MYR 22.64+ (MYR 24.90 nett) which consists of crunchy broccoli, baby corns, sugar snap peas, and bok choy.

My cold mango pomelo dessert at MYR 10.38+ (MYR 11.41 nett) and a bowl of hot Harsmar/ Hashima dessert for my friend at MYR 26.42+ (MYR 29.06 nett). According to wiki, Hasma is an ingredient made from the dried fatty tissue found near the fallopian tubes of frogs.

The star of this lunch - deep fried grouper fish at MYR 120.80+ (MYR 132.88 nett). Luckily we requested for the sauce to be served separately because we do not like the crispy fish to be wet and drenched in sauce. When we ordered this dish, the server informed us that a fish weighs about 800g (price is MYR 8 per 50g) and we were ok with it. The fish is very crispy and fresh so we ate everything including the head but leaving the main back bone.

Total bill for 4 pax is MYR 282.80 nett at Dragon-i, Midvalley Mall.

Just Gone

I have not eaten at Johnny Rockets eatery at The Curve and now it seems that they have moved away for a steamboat restaurant which will be opening sometime in Nov 2018.

I believe this vacant shoplot at The Curve used to be occupied by Franco. I wonder what eatery will be here next.

WG Eggs Rice

After making a not-good-choice for lunch at Purple Cane previously, this time I have no idea what to order so ended up ordering just two tea eggs (MYR 3.90++ = MYR 4.52 nett) and a bowl of brown rice (MYR 4++ = MYR 4.64 nett) making it a total of MYR 9.16 nett just for eggs and rice which I can prepare at home even for someone who does not cook. I guess this is not a good choice too. The tiny deep fried anchovies were from my friend's fried rice which she gave to me because of their tiny eyes staring at her.

Total bill for 2 pax is MYR 42.55 nett. This eatery charges 6% SST in addition to 10% service charge.

WG Salmon Don

A weekday lunch before 1 Sep 2018.

We returned to Kiku Zakura, Midvalley Mall for their Salmon Teriyaki Bento Set Lunch at MYR 28.60 nett but were told that it was not available on Fridays when the banner they put outside their restaurant clearly states that set lunch is available during weekdays.  As my friend was hungry, there was no point arguing with the staff over this point so I ordered the salmon don instead at MYR 29+ (MYR 31.90 nett) from the ala carte menu which has a slightly bigger slice of salmon as compared to the salmon bento set  lunch.

Total bill for 2 pax at MYR 78.10 nett. I don't think I will eat at this eatery again based on this incident.
