Delicious by Ms Read @ One Utama

Last post was about 2 weeks ago... so sorry for missing in action. Where have I been? Actually I'm here all the while, it just some assignments make me feel tired everyday, that's why no new post lately.

Let's back to food story. Just now dropped by Mid Valley and saw Ms Read going to open a new outlet there, not really sure I like their food but I do admit their dishes look fantastic. It's really pleasant to just order and enjoy looking; you may think I'm crazy ;-)

Been there month ago and ordered the following.

Hot Lemon Tea (RM 6.90) + Ice Orange Tea (RM 7.90), simple and refreshing.

Delicious Burger (RM 21.90), a dish with "Delicious" in its name, so I'm expecting a really good burger but ended up a bit disappointed. The garnishing make it looks healthy, and it tastes "really" healthy. Yeah... it's bland and even worst, with flavorless fries.

Quiche Lorraine (RM 15.90), decided to order this because I thought I like bacon and I like eggs, so this definitely a great meal to me... who knows... Again, looks really great but taste just not good. What we enjoy most that afternoon was the small side Garden Greens.

Overall I don't like the food but like the presentation, a good place for small bites and chit chatting.

Wong Chau Jun Restaurant @ Penang

Usually if you ask me which great food is a must try in Penang, I will refer you to Assam Laksa and Fried Koay Teow, but today I would like to add another one (shame to tell people I stayed in Penang for 3 years...), Fish Head noodles.

Sister brought us to this little Chinese restaurant at Rangoon Road (along Jalan Burma, one of the roads on your left before traffic light) months ago. At first, I didn't expect any surprise because I thought it's similar to what I've tried at Fai Kee, Ipoh before. So let's check out what have we ordered.

Steamed fish with Hor Fun 鱼片蒸河粉 (RM 32)

This is rather overcharge to some of you maybe, by looking at the ingredients, but I think this definitely worth a try. It can't attract you from the first bite, but slowly, when you start tasting the Hor Fun and the fresh fish smell... then probably you will like this. I will suggest you to eat this first if you also order the fish head noodles.

Fish head noodles 酸辣鱼头米粉 (RM 24)

This tastes exactly opposite. The soup taste strong, sour and a bit spicy (from pepper), the chemical is really stimulating. I have to make this clear, this is not like Fai Kee, not like spicy soup in Kajang or Seri Kembangan, and this is just their own version.

排骨焖面 (RM 14)

The third type of noodles we've ordered, nothing so surprise finally. This taste nice too, but quite common as SG's mum like to just pour a can of China stewed ribs to fry noodles, results almost close to this.

Beside the noodles, we also ordered some side dishes like vegetables and ribs, bill total RM 95 for about 8 persons, still reasonable right?

Him Heang @ Penang

Another snack's post!

This time is about Him Heang's Tau Sar Pneah all the way from Penang. What so special about Him Heang? I blogged on Ghee Hiang months ago, to me, the best Tau Sar Pneah is either one of these two, but personally I'm more prefer Him Heang.

You may find it a bit frustrated to get Him Heang's biscuit because they have no other branch, one and the only one shop located at Jalan Burma. I love the soft bean paste inside and the well baked skin outside (but my mum complaints the bean paste is a bit too soft), it's just great to push whole piece into mouth.

To avoid the crowd, you MUST call to reserve first, even worst, they don't open on public holidays :-(

Tong Kee Egg Tarts

I love egg tart since high school if I remember correctly; even the normal type of egg tart with hard skin selling in my school I also can't resist eating it everyday.

The only egg tart that I will regularly buy in KL and recommend to friends, unfortunately only Tong Kee alone. There are few branches of Tong Kee within Klang Valley, today I bought these from Sri Petaling Tong Kee's outlet, selling at RM1 per piece. Normal days I usually get this from Jalan Tun HS Lee. Tong Kee's egg custard is always well prepared, soft and not too sweet, it fits my tastebuds but I'm not sure is it fits yours.

Always hoping we can have old type coffee shop selling egg tart everyday like what we've seen in Hong Kong drama series, but we only have new 'cha chaan teng' selling egg tart dunno prepared by which sifu everyday.

Heard there is one very famous egg tart in Ipoh, selling fast in the afternoon but I've no chance to try it yet, and I also don't know where the address is. If you tried it before, and think it's worth to try, please let me know where is it, and what time I should 'Q-up' there, if needed.
