Beef inside outside skirt

On Monday 10.jun.2024, he suggested going to cuti cuti lokal half day Petaling street jalan jalan cari makan so we went via mrt at 9.30 am and was very tired when we walked home from the mrt station at around 2 pm.

*** Kim Yong Gee Beef Mi Jln Sultan ***

10.54 am - close up view of beef navel cut meat, beef inside outside skirt meat, tendon and honeycomb tripe.

10.19 am - our two bowls of beef noodles. We ordered N1 and N3 from the menu below but was served N4 instead of N3. 

The beef soup is boiled from many hours of beef bones so it is very robust and rich, not salty at all so customers may add two types of chili condiments provided to make it salty as per individual's preferences. No msg as I wasn't thirsty at all after drinking the beef soup. This beef soup doesn't have much spice taste, it is more to pure beef taste.

The beef meat cuts all are tender with authentic pure nice fragrant beef taste. Definitely for people who loves to eat beef like me. He has to put chili to eat the beef. I didn't put chili at all to enjoy the pure authentic taste of beef fragrance and aroma. I was so surprised when he suggested eating at this beef eatery because I was thinking, he can't accept the beef taste but I kept quiet since he suggested it so we go eat beef.

From the menu, these 3 beef noodles are highly recommended due to the beef from Australia. 

For those who wants to understand what goes inside our tummy, the link below explains the difference between inside and outside skirt steak.


The link below is for those who wants to know what is skirt steak.



10.40 am - the logo of Kim Yong Gee. They currently have 3 shops: Jalan sultan, Damansara perdana and subang Jaya.

10.48 am - N1 is MYR 39.90++ and N4 is MYR 36.90++ so the total is MYR 89.10 nett.

*** Chinatown Cendol jln sultan ***

10.45 am - he then suggested to go eat cendol next door but I was quite full so we shared one cendol MYR 12 nett. The toasted coconut caramel taste is nice good👍😋 

11.07 am - Chinatown Cendol jalan sultan. Durian cendol is available on the menu too.

*** Merdeka 118 ***

10.11 am - saw this magnificent view of this tall tower when walking from the mrt station to beef mi shop. Just like in a sci fi movie.

This building is Chin Woo I believe. I went to Chin Woo once to swim in the swimming pool with my classmates when we were in form 5, 35 years ago. 😂 

*** Mi Tarik ***

11.21 am - early tea time for 2 pax 😂 he likes the egg tart here. He says better than those very good ones because it has very crispy crusts and the egg custard is eggy, a bit of ginger taste and smooth. I suspect it is because he ate it when it is warm from the heating oven. 😂 

11.23 am - a look at the fillings.

11.25 am - total price for 4 pastries and 1 drink hot cham is MYR 21.90 nett.

At 12 noon, my Omad is completed.

11.39 am - I like the feel of this eatery. Makes me feel like I am in a cafe in Taipei or Taichung but the way to the washroom is not that pleasant because need to walk past the thrash storage. He told me, I didn't go.

*** Sight Seeing ***

12.03 noon - a search online for this address: 177, Jln tun h s lee, found that it is a tattoo studio. Not sure true or not because I didn't walk there to verify.

*** Dodoo KL ***

I didn't take any photos for this but just want to remember it here that he pointed out this cafe located at 192, Jln tun h s lee to me. He pointed it out to me because he saw this cromboloni poster outside their wall and he asked me whether or not I want to go into this eatery to eat it but I was too full and couldn't eat anything more so kiv for next time.

This picture is saved from their insta. Then I go online to find more info about this dodoo x VCR eatery and found the link below:


*** MyTown ***

12.26 noon - long walk to MyTown. He didn't want to go back but wanted to go walk off the food eaten so we took the mrt to MyTown to walk in an air conditioned environment. 😂 

Also use up a 240 voucher plus 5 at cex to get mario kart. 

*** Tales ***

For the return journey, got into the train heading to kwasa Damansara and exit at trx to change train to putra Jaya but due to tiredness, just ran across the doors from one train to the opposite train. Then found out that we are still on a train to kwasa Damansara so exit at Conlay and ran across to the opposite door to get on a train to putra Jaya. Ah, so fun, to take trains like little children.

Back at the gold dragon station, we were quite tired and wanted to take the feeder bus. The time is about 1.42 pm and the feeder bus will only move at 2.20 pm. Need to wait about 38 minutes so we decided to just walk back despite feeling tired and hot. 

Then he suddenly thought of his tng card and found that it has escaped from his hand without him noticing it. When he retraced his route to look for it, it has already ran far far away. He even enquired about it at the mrt customer service counter and there were two captured ran away cards but both cards are not his so he reported the lost card and made a request online for a refund for about 60ish still in the card.  The case is pending due to processing time.

*** Fees ***
1. Gold dragon to art market 3.2
2. Art market to MyTown 1.8
3. MyTown to gold dragon 3.1
Total 8.1 x 2 pax is 16.2

Parking at wisma Selangor is 5 per hour so 16.2 can park for 3 hours.

Mango Sando

On Sunday 9.jun.2024, it is chapfan no rice lunch at Tuck Tuck Tei Taman Desa. Then stopped by Family Mart Taman Desa to look for black forest sando and dakgalbi chicken wrap.

*** Mango Sando ***

12.12 noon - black forest sando is not available so I bought mango Sando MYR 6.90 nett instead. Unlike the strawberry Sando with fresh strawberries, this mango Sando uses crunchy mangoes preserved in syrup so the mango pieces are a bit too sweet. Therefore I prefer strawberry Sando.

12.09 noon - mango Sando MYR 6.90 nett.
Dakgalbi chicken wrap MYR 9.50 nett.

1 pm - dakgalbi chicken wrap MYR 9.50 nett. I like the firm but tender chicken breast meat. The gochujang chili sauce is sweet spicy. I detect ginger taste too.

After eating it, he asked me to stay away from him because of the garlic 🧄 taste 😂 

Ingredients: indeed it includes ginger and garlic.

*** Tuck Tuck Tei Taman Desa ***

9.43 am - my chapfan no rice MYR 8 nett:
Steamed eggs, 1 braised egg, bitter gourd, okra, broccoli cauliflower celery, egg tofu.
His chapfan no rice MYR 7.50 nett
Champing drink MYR 3.20 nett
Total MYR 18.70 nett for 2 pax

Morning 43.9
Next morning ????

*** Sky Kopitiam Taman desa ***

1.45 pm - his siew yuk and roast chicken meat MYR 10 nett total.

*** Stationery ***

11.38 am - 38 mm & 48 mm x 7y cloth tape from two shops with a 10 cents difference: 2.8, 2.9, 3.7, 3.9 so the total is 10.20 & 10.70

Strawberry Sando

On Saturday 8.jun.2024, parked the car quite a distance from Tim won so walked there for brunch and then I walked to Family Mart to buy snacks and he walked to get the car to drive to family Mart to pick me up.

*** Family Mart Snacks ***

Yesterday I ate Smoky BBQ chicken wrap from family mart so today I wanted to try the Dakgalbi chicken wrap but it was not available so I bought alternatives.

11.03 am - I ate this strawberry Sando MYR 7.80 nett immediately when I got home. There are two strawberry sandwiches in one pack.

Tastes good 👍 😋 because the sponge cake is only very lightly sweet to match with the sweet sour fresh strawberries. The cream is light and no dairy milky taste, not as light as chateraise Hokkaido cream but it is still delicious.

I will buy the black forest Sando next. I believe it is chocolate sponge cake with cherries.

10.31 am - the three items I bought from family mart. Total is MYR 18.40 nett.

Since Dakgalbi chicken wrap is not available, I looked for Sausage cheese kimchi rice gimbap bought from Family Mart at RM11.90 nett that NuxV recommended:


Found it but it looks like a lot of rice so I kiv it for next time. This time, I just buy a salted salmon onigiri MYR 4.90 nett and a pack of chicken floss egg mayo sandwich MYR 5.70 nett as per his request.

10.55 am - salted salmon onigiri MYR 4.70 nett. The seaweed is still crispy. The salmon is not at all that salty, just a tiny weeny bit. Rice is al dente so this onigiri tastes good 👍 😊 meaning I can buy it again on cheat days.

*** Yat Sing Smokehouse ***

1.02 pm - I walked past Yat Sing Smokehouse on my way from Tim Won to family mart and saw this craft beer trail poster. Wonder what it is.🤔

*** Tim Won ***

At Tim Won, he chose all the items and I just ate the remaining portion of each item after he was done with them.

9.51 am - Cham ping MYR 4 nett.
Prawn mi MYR 9 nett.

9.56 am - trotters dry wanton noodles MYR 12 nett.

10.08 am - my portion of the remaining items. 😂 

Morning 44.25
Next morning 43.9

*** Happy Extended Family ***

10.13 am - this happy Extended Family of grandparents, parents and a young girl having their meal together reminds me of the time when my paternal grandfather was living with us. He moved on when I was 8 years old. My paternal grandmother had moved on when my father was 7 years old so we don't know her. My maternal grandmother is now 108 years old in a good caring home in TaiChung.

Sooner or later when a couple grow old, they will live together with one of their children unless they require constant monitoring or too frequent basic services. In the latter case, it is best that they move to a good warm home that can fulfill their requirements else it is good for grandchildren to grow up with grandparents in a loving home. In this way, grandchildren can appreciate and learn about the process of growing into golden years until moving on time.

I remember it took 3 days for my grandfather to move on. Everyday my father would put on my grandfather's favourite music blasting very loudly for him because he was hard of hearing at that time and he was drifting in and out, not needing food or water anymore. After everyone has visited him and with his favourite music accompanying him, he finally moved on, on the 3rd day. His wake was held in my childhood home and all my cousins and relatives gathered at the house as if it is a joyous gathering. It was a 24/7 service. Very boisterous ambiance.

Ah, the memories ...
