House of Pok

Just a few dishes that i usually order in HOP.

This place specializes in pork....so, must order pork😂

1. Hakka braised pork with black fungus + Steamed egg with mushrooms

2. Mui choy pork + baked beans with omelette

3. Tong po pork + baked beans with omelette

4. Hakka braised pork with black fungus + baked beans with omelette, this time with yam rice.

Additional RM2 for yam rice.

Tastewise OK, nothing special, pork could be tough sometimes....

this soup has no pork😂

Old Nanyang Kopitiam, Bukit Jalil

Few months back, went to Old Nanyang Kopitiam for our weekend family dinner. The shop has since closed down and renamed to New Nanyang. *The New Nanyang has recently re-opened for business not long ago.

*Posting some pictures from Old Nanyang restaurant for record purpose, not sure if the New Nanyang will have similar food or not.

Here's what we had in Old Nanyang:

Hainanese chicken chop with sausage. The potato salad is on the sweet side and the shredded cabbage salad has sesame dressing.

Rice set with chicken leg in soy sauce, bokchoy, soup and 2 mini side dish.

Chicken leg....looks big and juicy!

Sizzling plate of grilled chicken chop in mushroom sauce with corn cob, potato salad, sausage. Mushroom soup and shredded cabbage salad are included too.

and yes, garlic bread stick is provided with the mushroom soup. It is baked till crispy.

This is a huge meal set, suitable for big eaters or super hungry person.

Portion is big but tastewise just so-so.

Mun Kee Fish Head Restaurant, Happy Garden

Back to Mun Kee fish head restaurant after some time.

Our usual orders are:

Steamed fish head with black beans

Sweet & sour pork

Salted egg calamari

Fuyong omelet

4 dishes before the stir-fried veggies was served.

Overall, a satisfying meal with reasonable price. There's usually a queue during the weekend evening, but their staffs are efficient, and they have sufficient chefs to churn out the dishes fast, thus waiting time is bearable, never more than 20 minutes.

A shift of monsoon lately has brought some rains (and sinkholes!) in Klang Valley.

Although KL is declared safe (from sinkholes), there are still some risks & possibilities that it will happen again. It made me think twice of walking on the streets in the city center😕

Ah Muk Cha Chaan Teng

This picture was taken during my first visit few months ago. It wasn't officially launched yet during then.

I sat in front of this poster....So, I ordered exactly the item in front of me.

wysiwyg....does it look similar to the poster?

mi xian with corns, napa cabbage, scrambled egg and chicken chop in tomato broth.

There are a few pieces of taupok in it too....

which one nicer, the poster or my bowl?

dig inside to reveal the noodles and egg....

it is a fully loaded bowl of noodle.....Was so full after eating this.

I like the sourish tomato broth. The others are just OK, nothing to shout about. Overall, it was good but not something that I will crave for. But I do enjoyed dining here while listening to the classic Cantopop songs (from the 90s/early 00s) which they played over-and-over again. It's a repetitive because each time i went i heard a few of the same songs😂

*and if I go there on weekday during the closing hour, i might get a free egg tart😃

Gala Dinner

It was an appreciation dinner for Genting members and was held at their convention center located in the First World hotel building. I think there were about 100 tables in this hall.

It has been some time since i dined in a huge hall. The wedding banquets that i normally attended does not go up to 100 tables. Perhaps the final time was in company annual dinner around 10 years ago, coz after then i worked in smaller companies.

The menu:

The starter plate...ok la....each person can take one😂

braised abalone, sea cucumber, mushrooms with broccoli....

While enjoying the dinner, there was stage performances by our local Teresa Teng.

Pretty lass with nice voice. It feels like watching the real Teresa on stage coz she sounded and look very much like her. She belted out a few popular songs from the late singer. Too bad she's born into this era, otherwise she could be famous like the original singer, instead of being labelled as impersonator.

Anyway, great evening with foods and entertainment. Looking forward to next year's gala dinner (if ever got invited again😀)

Crockfords Lounge

Back here for 'makan' after a year plus....Usually i dine at Good Luck Cafe (Ground floor), Pot Luck Cafe (1st floor) or Peace Cafe (2nd floor). There are other food court/restaurant that accept points too but gotta walk further into the shopping mall complex hence I rarely go. This lounge restaurant also known as 'FUHU Pop-up Dining' is accessible from the elevator in Crockfords Hotel and has a drinking bar that caters for the hotel's guest.

The lounge is usually quiet during the daytime. There is a mini stage at the corner with live band/performances on weekend/evening.

The restaurant is just right in front of this cosy area.

Upon placing order, dessert was served first😃

The main meal: Scallion beef stir-fry served with rice

The beef was tender, so it is easy to eat. Good that there are a few leafy greens choy sum. This beef dish has similar taste to Kam Kee Cafe's dry beef fried hor fun.

Menu is rotated every few days. I will definitely be ordering this again whenever i see it on the menu😋

Fried Rice.....no, not Uncle Roger

Lately, fried rice has become a hype....coz of the newly opened Fuiyoh restaurant by Uncle Roger...

then some other people went to compare it with Uncle Soon....

and the social media is all hyped up with fried rice reviews....

So, i might as well jump into the trend😂

nah, just kidding!

It just happened that i craved for fried rice (even before all the hype in social media)

Kawan Place

I went back to Kawan Place for their Kampung fried rice coz i like anchovies, chili and kangkung so much....

I also ordered a plate of fried potato wedges.

It was a weekend, was super hungry after done with some household chores....hence my OMAD is fully carb-loaded...

Total bill came to RM20.70nett

nothing to shout about, just an ordinary meal to fuel up energy and fill up my hungry stomach.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun Thai

After done with Malaysian style fried rice...the next day, i went for Thai style fried rice....at Sun Thai restaurant.

 Pineapple fried rice😋

I have had pineapple fried rice numerous times in the past but never once served in a pineapple husk, so this is my first encounter of eating fried rice from a pineapple husk.

Decent portion of fried rice with prawns, squid, pineapple cubes and cashew nuts....

Tastes good, although abit pricey at RM20.75 nett....this price can get me a plate of fried rice at Uncle Roger's restaurant in Pavilion....hahaha😂

But then, Uncle Roger once said "if you can't afford a RM18 fried rice then your wallet is weak"

....haiyaa....
