Zhang Liang Malatang @ Pinnacle Mall

[Throwback]
Tried Zhang Liang Malatang a few times. It's basically customising your own ingredients by picking the meats/veggies from the display fridge and choose the cooking style (either dry or soup). Ingredients are charged based on their weight. Pay at the counter before they proceed to cook.
First time with tomato soup and noodles.
Nothing special, it's like eating noodles with lotsa ingredients and is cooked fresh on the spot.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the second time, tried the dry version with rice.
Price almost same as the first...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then the 3rd time i tried the dry version again, but don't know why there is gravy, taste like peanut sauce...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then back to the soupy one....the mala soup also looks creamier....
I only took a few sips. I think they put peanut sauce in the soup as well.

Al-Diafah Sri Petaling (Middle Eastern Cuisine)

[Throwback
Back to Al-Diafah restaurant. Tried the Arabian sauteed veggies dish. It was served with breads.
I didn't know that there are breads with the dish, hence I ordered the shish tawook wrap.
The sauteed veggies has eggplants, capsicums, olives etc cooked till soft....similar to something I had in Emirates flight long time ago😂
[Below] Cross section of the shish tawook wrap. Comes with fries and a dipping (can't remember what it is)
Was full after finishing the wrap and the sauteed veggies so I tapao-ed the bread back home and eat them plain as breakfast the next day.
The bill came to RM44.10 nett.
This was in year 2024.....almost 2 years ago. 
Overall, not my kind of meal. Will stick back to mandi rice or shawarmas next time.

Two Pesos - Tom yum soup mini steamboat

The bunting/banner of Kebun Kopi at the eatery entrance when it was firstly launched.
They also sell assorted kuihs, such as kuih talam, kuih lapis, curry puffs, mochi, yam cake....etc at RM3.50 per box.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Solo steamboat at Two Pesos.....I tried the tom yum soup without additional charge. Previously they only have chicken soup base as the default, anything else would be charged extra.
Here's the menu. The RM13.90 solo steamboat is available throughout the day during weekdays only.

Family Dinner @ Yang Ming

When dining with my elderly parents, we will go safe by ordering non-spicy, non-allergen food. Steamed tilapia is still OK, although my dad would sometimes complaint of rashes after eating certain types of fish. Seafood like prawns, squids, cockles and all others are definitely no-no. Hence you usually see the same old same old thing in our usual orders.
The other dishes in the safe list are....
Sweet & sour pork
Romaine lettuce in fuyu sauce
Tofu with minced pork
The usual orders and the bill came to this usual amount range.
Overall, a good dinner with reasonable price.

Hainanese Chicken Chop Rice @ Nam Heong

[Throwback]
New item in Nam Heong. Hainanese chicken chop rice with spam and fried egg (RM16.90+)
Taste so-so only. The deep-fried chicken chop is quite oily. But I will order the similar item again perhaps with black pepper sauce or the salted egg gravy (for the chicken chop) just to try out the different flavors.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Little Bally looks colorful at night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Had dinner in Warakuya, this time i had teriyaki chicken don which came with miso soup, kimchi, shredded cabbage (with cucumber & tomato) and a cube of tofu (RM20.90+)
Also ordered an ala-carte smoked duck sushi (RM24.90+). There is a thinly sliced mango beneath the smoked duck. Taste OK, not really my kind of sushi.....I think i better stick back to salmon or tuna.
Total bill came to RM53.10 nett after service charge and tax.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I like the doughy dumpling skin and the succulent pork with chives dumpling, so I went back to Fu Man Yuen the other day to get my 'dumpling fix'. RM13.80 nett. Served with shredded ginger.
BON APPETIT!
