Roti Jala

Roti Jala with curry chicken - MYR10.85 plus 5% (service charge) at Nyonya colour. I prefer the roti jala to be soft and doughy like this one.

Sam You Serdang

Another meal with the in-laws to celebrate a special occasion. Hee Lai Ton, Wisma Shaw, the favourite restaurant, was fully booked for a wedding banquet so we had to choose another place.

Mixed platter - jellyfish, deep fried pork belly, deep fried crab fish meat ball, and stirfried mushroom and asparagus.

This was included in the set meal - quite oily. Actually I can't appreciate this dish and will not order this at all.

Steamed fish

20 large-medium prawns in shells - quite a task to remove the shells and eat this so there were leftovers to be brought home.

This vege was not tender at all

Fried rice - the green colour came from spinach. We were quite full when this dish was served so we thought there would be leftovers but surprisingly one of the young persons at our table finished this.

Cold dessert - I only managed to snap a photo after it was half finished.

The address

We took the easy way out by just ordering from the set menu. MYR399++ for set 1. A bowl of soup was included which I did not show here because we are not supposed to consume this product from a wildlife.

DIY

Since I don't cook and don't bake and always eat out, on days that I don't feel like going out, this is what my meal will look like: processed food - sausage, with bread, raw cucumber and raw tomatoes. Works as well.

I Love Yoo!

One set of hot soy milk with deep fried "you tiao" (chinese cruller) - MYR4.60 and one bowl of tofufa "kosong" (without any syrup) - MYR3.30 to line the empty stomach before a main meal, shared by 3 persons. Please pardon the spilled soymilk on the tray.

I love yoo - Nice name  but totally different words in Chinese - the phrase "lo yao gui gui (老友鬼鬼)" - means very close buddies but the chinese characters used here 老油鬼鬼 means "old youtiao" because you tiao in Cantonese is 油炸鬼 (deep fried ghost in oil) so the name of the shop is a clever play on chinese words with the same sound (homonym).

Sometimes the queue can get quite long

Open-faced sandwich

2 slices of wholemeal bread, avocado, onion rings marinated in balsamic vinegar and anchovies. Tasty?

Green Tea Desserts

In April, I wrote about Nana's Green Tea and finally I tried the desserts!

From the menu of Slushy, we selected the last one as the photo below.

Matcha Shiratama Slushy - MYR13.80 - Matcha Slushy topped with Matcha Ice Cream and Mochi. The ice cream is milky creamy and the slushy is not so they complement each other well. Will definitely try another type of Slushy next time.

For parfait, we selected this one as the photo below

Matcha Warabimochi Parfait - MYR19.80 - Only order this if you have a sweet tooth because the red bean paste is very sweet. Best shared with a friend. Since I tried this, I will not order this again because I find it too sweet. The matcha ice cream is milky creamy.

Selected this one as the photo below

Matcha Anmitsu - MYR16.80 - the brown sugar syrup is provided separately so that you can just drizzle as little or as much as you like. The matcha ice cream is milky creamy.

Matcha Soft cream cone - MYR6.80 - bitter green tea with no milky creamy taste at all, good for people who cannot stand the taste of milk and so can't eat the green tea ice cream shown in the first 6 photos. It is either this soft cream cone or slushy because they are not milky creamy.

A pot of Karigane Cha - MYR7.80, you can asked for the hot water to be refilled.

The Karigane-Cha in the tea bag. Karigane-Cha is the stem of Uji Cha with a mild bitter sweet taste.

Kjeldsens

This brand used to be my favourite butter cookies but too bad, I don't quite like to eat butter cookies now as I prefer savoury food to sweet food.

There are 5 different shapes - with raisins, with sugar on top, with dessicated coconut, or just plain. I used to like them all equally.

Ingredients: wheat flour, butter, sugar, desiccated coconut, blackcurrants, salt, raising agent.
