Sake Oyakodon

Sake Oyakodon (Salmon and Salmon Roe on top of rice). Oyako means 'parent and child' so salmon is the parent and salmon roe is the child. Normally Oyakodon without the word Sake (salmon) in front serves you chicken (parent) and egg (child) on top of rice.

This is the Sake Oyakodon set - MYR30++ - with a starter, chawan mushi, miso soup and fruits apart from the main sake oyakodon.

Sushi and Tempura set - MYR38 - with the same starter, chawan mushi, miso soup, pickled vegetable, in addition to the main tempura and sushi.

Close up of the starter-of-the-day - some sort of fried fish stewed in a sweet miso gravy. Strong flavour.

Close up of the sushi served - tuna, salmon, squid, prawn, crab, tamago, scallop. The size of the sushi is rather small compared to those I ate in Tokyo but it is fresh and tastes naturally sweet so it is fine for me since I find the price reasonable too.

Where else but at our favourite Japanese restaurant, Kura at One World Hotel.

Tong Sui

Tong Sui in Cantonese literally means Sweet Water. Red bean and barley in evaporated milk - MYR4.80 - my friend did not quite like this.

White Fungus and Lotus Seed - MYR4.80 - both white fungus and lotus seeds are hard. Not going to eat at this random restaurant in Berjaya Times Square again.

Hakka Pounded Tea Pan Mee

I noticed a place selling Hakka Lei Char (green vegetables tea) Pan Mee - MYR12.90 so I ordered it to try. I really like it because I like the taste of the Thai basil, mint and coriander among many other herbs.

This is  Coriander Pan Mee - MYR12.90

Why is there an exercise book here?

So cute with a bicycle and environmental friendly since it is made from recycled material.

It is the menu!

Noodle Shack at Ikano. Available in One Utama too.

Marvellous Egg Co

I saw this new food booth at the top floor of the MidValley mall and so walked closer for a look.

What are they selling?

Egg sticks! The price is expensive - from MYR5 to MYR8 for just one egg stick. I remember reading a post on kuchingnite blogspot about cooking eggs into a stick with Eggmaster. So now these egg sticks are being sold commercially.

They claim that their dips will win you over. Please click on both the above menu photos for a larger photo.

They cut up one egg stick into many pieces and gave them out for customers to sample their food. I took one - salmon black pepper with egg. The taste is nice as I like both salmon and egg but I find it too expensive. Perhaps it is better for me to buy an Eggmaster to cook these egg sticks myself at home just like what Rose did.

Mixed no rice

I have decided not to eat rice for lunch when eating at this new-found "economy" rice place because I feel too full if I take rice with 3 dishes. Below are my chap fan (mixed rice) with no rice for last week.

MYR 7 - peasprouts, spinach and fish

MYR7 - amaranth green (yin choy), cauliflower with sugar snap peas, fish with tofu and tomato 

MYR6.5 - amaranth green (yin choy), pak choy, fish

MYR7.5 - sweet and sour fish, celery with chicken strips, brussel sprouts leaves (choy tam)

MYR6 - chinese cabbage (wong nga bak), water convolvulus (kang kung), fish slices with ginger and spring onion.

Mini Wok

Sweet and sour fish rice - MYR7.90 nett - I think it is dory fish used here. I like the pineapples and other vegetables like carrot and cucumber in this dish but I did not finish the rice and left as much sauce as I could.

I was at the food court at Central Market one day and did not know what to eat. Then I remember reading about this Mini Wok stall so I ordered a dish from there. Decent enough meal.

A new mall

Durian mini tarts - MYR5.40 for 6 - taste like "dodol durian" but not as sweet as dodol. The durian taste is not overpowering so as someone who loves to eat durian, I like this a lot.

I was walking in the new mall and saw this banner which attracted my attention to buy the mini durian tarts in the above photo. The name of this eatery is called Pat Kin Pat Sun Cafe (不见不散). We use the phrase 'Pat Kin Pat Sun' (cantonese) when we arrange to meet up with a friend. The phrase means I won't leave the rendezvous point if you are not there yet (even if you are very late) or I will stay at the rendezvous point until I see you. The literal translation is 'Don't meet don't disperse'.

The Pat Kin Pat Sun HQ is in Taman Shamelin Perkasa, Cheras.

Then we went for tea - fruit rojak with squid - MYR7.90 - from an outlet of the Teochew Chendul eatery.

Cendol - MYR5.90 from the same eatery as the above rojak.
