Mie Alip

Another noodle house, another nice Bakmi to eat.

Located around Kota area, it is quite pack during lunch hour.

Very few noodle house in Malaysia can compete with the texture and quality of any ordinary bakmi there.

Trust me, my final year project paper was evaluating yellow noodle quality, although many years ago.

Nice Noolde @ Subang

Jojo Little Kitchen @ Subang Jaya

"What is Min Fun Gou? Who on earth will each such food?" my grandma used to say so to my mother.

Don't take it wrong, she is my father's mother, not mum's mum.

Abalone Kwe Tiao @ JB

I still seriously doubt that what I ate ain't abalone. But some how it tasted shell fish. Hope is it just pieces of a large shell fish, not any artificial food created by some 'food technologist'.

Taiwan Restaurant @ SS2 PJ

3/4 restaurant, 1/4 hand phone shop, at SS2 PJ near the food court central area open a Taiwan food restaurant.

Sister Pan Mian @ Balakong

I came across few stall call Sister, and they all serve fantastic food. I think when few "sisters" join together doing something special, result will be tremendous.

Penang Road Trip

"My papa drives a very big car."

"My one has 3 cars. One can take many people."

"My daddy no need to drive, we have driver."

You might think most kids like to show off. Why they never taught to be humble.

But in actual, we all like to think what we are having is the best in this world. I am the best, or I have the best makes me feel special.

Sin Seng Fatt Curry Noddle @ Ipoh

"What is famous here?" I asked the boss.

"Everything shows on the wall are famous." Very well answered. But I felt dumb.

"I want a bowl of curry hor fan." I ordered.

"I don't want to have any prawn." She ordered.

"No problem, I can take it off." Boss has no issue.

"err... I mean I cannot eat any seafood."

"Oh! In this case, you have nothing to eat here. All the soup prepared with prawn."

...

"Now we know his main recipe is prawn. Next time bring sis here and check for the chicken." She suggested quietly.

"Good idea! Then we will know exactly why the soup so sweet and tasty." What a brilliant idea!

By the way, that meal, I have to finish the bowl alone with one good mate.

Curry noodle with thick santan, served with chicken strips and 2 large prawn.

Restoran Sin Leong Huat @ Subang Hi Tech

I still remember my very first dish in this Sin Leong Huat restaurant. It was a very delicious pork knuckle. There were pig legs on every table and I was amazed there were so many pigs as our feed.

Nowadays we know there are few other restaurants in the valley prepare the same specialty every day. I think most of the legs go to these places and the the body become “cha siu”.

Beside heavy, meaty, oily and cholesterol food, sometime I go for simple yet special like the three below.

Fish head Bihum… a little lame on the milk, a little strong for the sour.

“Dong fen” with ginkgo… special.

”Kue Teow” fried with vegetable… beware of the cili padi.

Home Town Sarawak Noolde @ Singapore

There are "abalone" inside the soup.

Fatty Mee Hun Kuih House @ Berkely

When I was young, there was hardly any stall selling pan mien or what we used to called "mee hun ger" in Hokkian. Granma used to cook herself sometime and we were in heaven.

Now all these home cook food is available everywhere and some just so fantastically delicious!

Ah Heng Laksa @ Summit USJ

I think this shop closed already at Submit USJ.
Too bad it can't wait until my post.
And too bad actually the food is not too bad though.

Loh Mee @ Sentul

I think there is pretty lots of Hokkian lang staying in Sentul with good Hokkian food.

I never forget how good my granny cook her Loh Mee during every festive occasion in Kuantan.

Chili Pan Mian @ Jalan Ipoh

I am afraid to ride roller coaster. The last time I did that was when I in Standard 6, during our year end trip to Genting. It scare the hell out of me.

I paid to scare myself. I was thinking, if something happened, will the gate keeper up there laugh my stupidity that I pay for my own dead just because wanna feel the danger and so call "excitement". I am certainly not prepare for that.

Yes, you can laugh like her when she learned my phobia. But I still am not going to risk my life for that just like some of my friend never "risk" their life for the ultimate chili experience.

I dare you if you know that your stomach is going to pain like bleeding, your tongue and lips going to burn like fire, and you are going to sweat even heavier than under the heaviest rain, you will still "enjoying" the ultimate chili experience.

I thought I am brave in front of chili. It shows that I am still a little something... like a man.

But (yes, a but), she can eat 10 times spicier than me, and still don't care about the speed and height.

So, the moral of this is, never compare, just do what you like. Live you life in full, by yourself!

Who cares if she is stronger than you, right?

Can you read the Chinese words? Chili "pan mian" it calls.

See the crowd? And they had been waiting for hours. It's damn slow in serving. But all have the patient to wait for the "kill".

It served with no chili, ordinary self made "pan mian" with very "Q" texture. I just love the half boiled egg. Fantastic!

Add yourself your own portion of chili. Mind you, its extremely hot!

Mixed yourself and this is the ultimate chili "pan mian". It burn!

Pun Chun @ Kota Kemuning

There is one very famous duck noodle restaurant Pun Chun in Bidor.

Because it is at the small town towards Ipoh, it serve either few local regulars or travellers.

Pan Mian @ OUG

Ever heard there is one popular stall selling Pan Mian 板面 in OUG?

I love their hand made noodle when I first ate it about 10 years ago. That time it was still operated under a huge tree, beside Pearl Point.

It has been years I miss the biteful noodle as other food. And suddenly I noticed that it has moved.

Asking and searching, I finally found it. It is now situated in a newly build food court, just behind Central Supermarket and Parkson.

This is the stall, simple and ordinary. You never know they serve some non-ordinary food.

Dough sheets were pressed and waiting to be cut into noodle form.

A bowl of freshly prepared hand made noodle, with plenty of fried ikan bilis and mushrooms. The noodle has a tougher texture. You can feel the bite. Soup was very sweet.

Ah Koong @ Taipan USJ

The shop has been around many years already and it was originated in JB. I am not sure if it relates to Tun Lim's son, but I saw lots of their pictures hanging on the wall.

Murni @ SS2... mamak not mamak

Here in Malaysia we have a very unique yet popular eatery culture. Mamak stall is not a traditional Malaysia style of eating, the phenomenon started years ago in Klang Valley. It is now spread to all over the country, running not only Indian Muslim, but Indian, Malay and some time Chinese.

A mamak stall, also referred to as mapley, is a type of food establishment which serves mamak food. In Malaysia, the term mamak refers to Indian Muslim who generally own and operate them. Although traditionally operated from roadside stalls, some modern mamak stall operators have expanded their businesses into restaurant or cafe-type establishments. Mamak stalls tend to be popular among Malaysian youths as hang out spots, due to cheap food and beverages being served as well as being open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

More about mamak stall can refer to Wikipedia: Mamak Stall.

When I first patronize Murni at SS2, PJ, I thought it is a mamak stall, because it serve in mamak style, just like Steven Corner at OUG. When I saw the boss face, I got confuse, because he does not look any close to mamak, but he only speak Malay. Questions in my head lasted not long because I asked. He is peranakan.

I am pretty sure the owner is many times wealthier than me. I never seen an empty table whenever I drop by. Tables arranging so far yet they can serve in full. Amazing!

Believe it or not? I still yet to get the entire menu serving. It seems they serve everything. From roti, mee goreng, nasi campur, bread, chicken chop, to tom yam. Further to that, all foods seems good enough to make you come again.

Price? Believe it or not... extremely reasonable.

Juice blended special. Traffic light. Water melon, mango and kiwi. See the lychee and fruit cube inside? That's the one make me tempting.

Hoi Yin... another fine curry mee in Kuantan.

There are many things famous in Kuantan: beach, salted fish, handsome guy like me and of course curry noodle.

Curry noodle is a hidden treasure in Kuantan. We never realize it until we moved away from the little town. Each time when I pack to go back, the only thing in my mind is curry laksa.

You might say taste differ to each individual. But I could not find any spicier, fresher santan and hotter curry soup than the one in Kuantan.

Beside Teng Haw (祥和茶室), there is another famous shop near Teluk Chmpedak serve very fine Halal curry noodle. I would say it is the best halal curry noodle in ... Kuantan, at least.



Picture taken in a shinny sunny Sunday morning. See the crowd? They only eat one single type of delight. Is Kuantan people so lame on choice or they all have the same crave?

Thick santan spicy curry soup serve with steamed chicken. Perfect match!

Little Penang Kafe... Hoojiak

There are lots of restaurants opening at The Curve. All well renovated and looks fantastic outside. I believe if we are looking for a nice place to have our meal, we would not be disappointed.

Good place not necessary equal to good food. Just like rich does not necessary means you are wealthy.

I am impressed with this Little Penang Kafe. The set up is unique to allow me travelled back time. The food? Above average, but of course, not the best you can get.

Penang prawn noodle. This one has really big prawn. Of course, the price also quite big.

Lum mee also looks good.
