V Luv 2 Q

Saw a long queue

The new Dim Sum Place from HK - Tim Ho Wan at the Gardens Mall. Will definitely try it out when there is no queue.

Ocha and Matcha

We went to Nana's Green Tea at One Utama for our lunch one day and ordered a main meal that comes with a drink (MYR18.80++) each from their set menu.

Beef patty (you can opt for chicken patty) with rice, salad, shredded daikon (white radish) and miso soup. This set meal comes with a drink of your choice. The rice is quite firm so if you prefer soft rice, it is advisable to order another main dish without rice.

Salmon Rice with Miso Soup 

Curry chicken Udon

Hot pot of ocha tea - very fragrant

\
Light Matcha Tea (Hot) - if you want a hot drink, I think hot ocha tea is better than hot matcha tea because ocha tea is more fragrant. Matcha tea is made from green tea powder.

Iced Matcha Latte

Soursop

I saw this small soursop in the supermarket selling for MYR6 something and it was soft so I assumed that it was ripe enough to be eaten immediately so I bought it.

When I reached home, I wanted to eat it immediately but I like eating it cold so I put it into the freezer for about half an hour. It was not frozen, just cold enough for me to enjoy it. Sour with a tinge of sweetness - very refreshing. I will buy more if I can find ripe ones.

Could not resist

When my spouse sees this dish - Chinese Style Minced Pork Patty, he will select it.

When I see this dish - Chinese Style Pork "Chop", I will select it.

These two plates of "mixed" rice cost MYR12 in total.

I like eating the Chee Cheong Fun here so although I am eating "mixed" rice, I took a little rice and ordered a plate of ccf "kosong" (with nothing added to it) - MYR1.60 - to eat with my "mixed" rice and the combination tastes delicious to me.

This is the corner shop - Friendship Cafe (not really a true cafe but just a normal Chinese Coffee Shop) at Taman Esplanad, Bukit Jalil.

Snack for lunch

It is time for a mandatory work lunch and majority rules so everyone made their way to Old Town White Coffee. The previous time I was there, I had their set lunch which gives the best value for money and I know that but this time I did not want to have the drink that was included in all the meals in the set lunch menu so I opted for an expensive snack instead from their ala carte menu.

Chicken nuggets - MYR5.80 plus 10% service charge giving a grand total of MYR6.40 which means MYR1.28 for one small piece of nugget. So not worth it.

Is this reconstituted chicken meat or is it not?

I am really at a loss as to what to order should there be another mandatory work lunch there.

Big, Average, Tiny

Small piece of fish - MYR3, Stirfry Spinach MYR2, Stirfry Egg with Cekur/Cangkuk Manis (Scientific Name: Sauropus androgynus) MYR2, Rice (Small Portion) MYR0.60 so total is MYR7.60 at a nearby eatery with air-conditioning.

This big poster is on the wall of the eatery: "Eat a big breakfast, average lunch and a tiny dinner" and "One must eat to live, not live to eat".

This "chap fan" place have health colour coded name tags for each of the dish with the price for one serving of the dish so the customer will not get a shock at the cashier. Red means normal dishes, yellow means semi-healthy dishes, and green means healthy dishes. I noticed that all the vegetable dishes have green name tags. Deep fried meat dishes have red name tags. I am not sure what dishes get yellow name tags. Good to have such information to help us decide what to eat.

Order wrongly

There was no place to park near where we planned to eat so we ended up here (Sweet Bean, Sri Petaling) for dinner again.

Egg fried rice with chicken - MYR14.90 - Not too bad. I just ate one quarter of this meal as my dinner and my spouse finished it.

I wanted to have the peanut sweet paste but I placed the wrong order so I have to accept the Sesame paste and black glutinous rice dessert combo - MYR4.2 - tasted quite good.
