Wang Chiew

One fine day, my co-worker suggested that we join some of her friends from another company for lunch so the 9 of us had the following 6 dishes with rice:  stir fry sweet potatoes leaves; Thai Style Tofu; Marmite Pork; Ginger Chicken; deep fried squid and "Sang Cheong". Total Bill is around MYR 188.

I shared a bowl of plain rice with my friend and took a bit of each dish. The above costs MYR 21 nett.

Can you spot the "Sang Cheong"? Sang Cheong is the fallopian tube of pigs. I have never dared to try it but my friend asked me to try just one piece. I took a small piece and did not remember its taste because I ate it together with dried shrimps (har bee) that it was stir fried with so har bee taste is all I remember. I remember its texture though. The texture is quite crunchy. I don't think I will eat it again because knowing what it is, it is not appetising.

The shop with the green awning is where we ate this meal: "Makanan Laut Wang Chiew" (黄记) at SS2, PJ.

Dessert Dinner 2

Dessert Dinner again at Farmer Street, Jaya Shopping Centre. Mango Pomelo Ice Cream on Ice - MYR9++ (10% service charge and 6% GST = MYR10.50 nett). Peanut Paste with Sweet Potatoes at MYR6++ (MYR7 nett), Peanut Paste and Sesame Paste at MYR5++ each (MYR5.85 nett). We stored the Peanut Paste and Sesame Paste in our containers to eat the next day.

Nyonya Curry Noodle (Yellow Noodle and Mee Hoon) at MYR12++ (MYR14 nett). We find the curry broth to be on the salty side. I guess this is because we are used to eating food that is subtle in flavour.

Our regular order - Nasi Lemak Beef Rendang at MYR13++ (MYR15.20 nett).  Again we would prefer for the deep fried anchovies, sambal and beef rendang to be less salty.  We also kept half of this dish away for the next day.

Total Bill is MYR58.30 nett so we get to pay by card (above MYR50) and we also qualified to get free parking (above MYR50).

Once a while

It has been about 2 years that we ate the roast duck at Soon Fatt Beijing Roast Duck, Kuchai Lama. This time we ordered half a roast duck (MYR 35 nett) but took most of it back home and it lasted us for many meals.

 Hokkien Mee for 1 pax - MYR 9.90 + 6% GST = MYR 10.50 nett. This time it tasted nicer because the gravy is on the thicker side unlike the previous time we ate this dish. The deep fried lard was wasted on us because we only ate some of them. We also shared a glass of hot tea at MYR 0.85 nett.

The bill for the noodles and tea: MYR 11.35 nett

Liquid Lunch

I was still full from breakfast so for lunch, I just had the above two items:
1. A very refreshing drink named "Will Power" (beetroot, green apple, honey and lemon) at MYR 5.95 nett from the "buy 2 drinks at MYR 11.90 nett menu". The price stated in the ala carte menu for this is MYR 11.90 nett and for the item below is MYR 8.90 nett.
2. Pumpkin Barley Dessert - MYR 4.90 nett from the add-on-to-main-meals menu since my friend ordered main meals. This dessert is quite sweet but I was told the sweetness is from the pumpkin.

Ichiban Boshi

My order - hot green tea at MYR 2.17++ (10% service charge and 6% GST making it MYR 2.55 nett) and avocado salmon salad at MYR 19.62++ (MYR 22.90 nett).

4 very thin strips of avocado and 4 very thin strips of salmon sashimi. The salad dressing is daikon soy sauce. This time, we did not share the food.

My friend's kappa maki at MYR 4.72++ (MYR 5.50 nett).

Edamame at MYR 6.42++ (MYR 7.50 nett).

Potato Tamago Salad at MYR 10.19++ (MYR 11.90 nett).

Total price for 2 pax is MYR 52.80 nett. Since Pavilion has Rakuzen now, next time I will just eat there instead of here.

Lotus Leaf Rice

Two of us ate lunch at Zun Express again and I remember being too full from ordering the set lunch so this time I ordered just one item from the ala carte menu with no drinks and no desserts.

One of my favourite food - Lotus Leaf Rice - ala carte price is MYR 13.80++ (10% service charge and 6% GST so the nett price is MYR 16.10 nett). Very soft rice which is what I prefer. Tasty!

Only the ala carte food item has the discount of the loyalty card.

El Fresco Food Court

Nasi Lemak Beef Rendang - MYR 14.90 nett at El Fresco Jaya Grocer, Gardens Mall. When it comes to Nasi Lemak (coconut milk rice), I don't ask much from it. As long as it is fairly decent, I am good to go so I can't decide on whether Warung's is better or this is better.

The best thing is that they even accept card payment for this amount.
