MyNasi

Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken Leg - MYR10.90++ and add on a fried yellowtail scad (ikan selar kuning) for MYR2.50++. The pyramid shaped rice is made from scooping the rice with a pyramid shaped scoop with a long handle (not a pyramid shaped bowl but a scoop).

The rice tastes of coconut milk and I can't detect any fragrance of pandan leaves. The sambal is on the sweet side. The fried chicken leg alone costs MYR6.80 as an add on if you choose to order another one.

Teh Tarik - MYR3.60++ for a small cup.

Place your order at the counter and pay before your order gets delivered to you. There is a breakfast set menu from 8am to 12noon where items cost about MYR6.90++ and you need to top up MYR1 for either a coffee o or teh o. We did not order from the breakfast menu because we wanted to try the fried chicken leg which is not on the breakfast menu.

Nice decor

Located at LG of Midvalley Megamall. Used to be Kungfu Paradise but changed to MyNasi which is still under the same company as Kungfu Paradise.

DongZhi Festival

Here's wishing everyone who celebrates Dong Zhi (冬至) Festival, a very happy winter solstice!

We celebrated this festival by eating red bean tong sui (sweet soup) with tong yuen (glutinous rice balls) at my mother's place one day earlier.

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.
