Hong Fu Lou Dim Sum

This was sometime ago during my 2nd/3rd visit to HFL dim sum....

I had:

Shrimp cheung fun

Stuffed green chilis

Xiao long bao

and chicken feet (pheonix claw)

The bill came to RM36.55 nett after service charges and tax. Tastewise OK. I will definitely order these again.

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

After I discovered that they have mushroom chicken rice, I decided to give it a try and immediately hooked on it.

The mushroom chicken rice is RM13.90++

Some other items which are available from noon onwards (this was in year 2023 but is still valid now, maybe the price slightly different):

I have also tried deep-fried shrimp dumpling (*in another visit)....it was served with mayo sauce....

JP & Co @ Pavilion Bukit Jalil

Beef Roti

Went to join the queue coz i was curious on how the beef roti tastes like....

The staffs kept making rotis while they were trays readily available at the counter. I wonder how many rotis are sold per day.

Good arm exercise!

Their marketing strategy....the word 'viral'

but personally I don't see the reason why it is viral....it tastes just ordinary....

Deep fried dough which is so oily....like youtiao....and the minced beef filling is just so-so compared to our beef murtabak.

JP & Co

I finally made a visit to this restaurant for a meet up with friend.

Had smoked duck pasta (RM23 nett) whereas she had big breakfast....

Al-dente pasta with very salty smoked duck....

The food was just OK.

Dao

We later adjourned to Dao for our desserts....

I had my fav soybean softserve in a cup, not too sweet just nice😋

Up to You Signature Kopitiam & I Love Yoo!

I Love Yoo!

Nope, these currypuffs are not from Up to You kopitiam, but from I Love Yoo!

The fake newspaper is from Up to You....

confusing heh?

I also bought a ma geok ("horse leg" shaped fritter) from I Love Yoo....all these items were on 50% discounted price after 7pm+

The soybean milk is from Homesoy packet which I poured into a bowl for aesthetic feel😂

Total price for 2 currypuffs and 1 ma geok is RM4.65nett after discount.

Usual price is RM2.90 per piece of currypuff and RM3.50 per piece of ma geok.

Both taste good when eaten fresh.

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

Up to You

The below items are from Up to You kopitiam.....

I had nasi lemak with chicken curry and ordered an ala-carte acar. The chicken curry was served in a bowl, mostly chicken breast meat.

Acar.....portion-wise OK but taste abit mild...not sour and spicy enough for my tastebud.

[Below] Nasi lemak with pickled cucumber and belacan & onion sambal.

It came with sunny side up egg with runny yolk by default.

The restaurant interior is very "Chinese-style retro kopitiam"

Quite empty coz nearing closing hour.

The bill came to RM24 nett.

La Boucherie @ Multiplaza, Panama City

On my last day in Panama, my manager asked if I had any plans for dinner before we both flew back to our respective countries the following day.

He then suggested to try out La Boucherie in Multiplaza mall...

I immediately accepted his suggestion coz i've never been to this mall nor the restaurant before.

New thing is always a 'yes' from me😀

He is just as adventurous when it comes to food.

Here's the starter (on the house)....garlic bread with some dippings....tomato salsa and the rest I couldn't remember exactly what...but they are good!

[Below] This is our real starter....garlic shrimp casserole....We both shared this.

For drink, I had purple gin. Refillable plain water was also provided.

My main - tournedos rossini which is a thick cut from the tenderloin served on toasted brioche. I requested the tenderloin to be cooked rare.

[Below] The restaurant interior....

It is an 'atas' restaurant in an 'atas' mall. I think only 3 tables were occupied while we were there...

It is located in the city center, hence you could enjoy the nice city view outside before the skies turn dark. 

Overall, a good meal with great ambience👍

Definitely not a cheap meal....well, that's under company expense😆

Nam Heong Chicken, Sri Petaling

When I couldn't decide on what to eat, I will go to this place coz it has sort of everything from rice to noodles, toast and egg tarts...

So far i have tried nasi lemak and nasi ganja.

When i wasn't in the mood for rice, i had Cantonese style yinyong....

It doesn't look appealing, but it tastes OK.

This came with a fried egg which is quite unusual.

On another visit, I had Nam Heong chicken + charsiew combo, served with a bowl of wantons (in soup). Chili dip and ginger sauce is provided by default.

I wish they can be more generous with the meats😝

I prefer the charsiew than chicken coz it is well marinated and has fat layers. 

I shall just stick to the charsiew rice next time...

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

So, the next visit I just go for the charsiew rice, which also came with a bowl of wantons (in soup) but with only chili dip.

RM16.30 nett, with more charsiews compared to the chicken + charsiew combo.

BrewMaster - Fish & chips

The lunch set promo from 11:30 till 3pm daily. This time I tried out their fish & chips.

It came with 2 pieces of deep-fried battered dory fish.

and with loads of fries and a side of salad by default.

A huge spoonful of asam pedas sambal paste is provided. The sambal paste is spicy. I only tried a little of the sambal and left most of it untouched. I don't think it is necessary coz the asam pedas taste is so overpowering. RM19.50 nett for this huge plate of fish & chips with complimentary mushroom soup & bun.

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

Subway sub-of-the-day for RM9.95 nett.

I usually had the wrap (instead of bread) so it is an additional 0.75 (RM10.70 nett)

And if you are "rajin" enough to do the online survey, you can earn a free cookie on the next purchase😆

Family Dinner @ Siew Ming, Sri Petaling

Just a simple weekend family dinner....

We're back at Siew Ming (after years of dining at other places)

Ordered our usuals....

Minced pork tofu

Boneless marmite chicken pop

Ginger scallion fish fillet

Stir-fried amaranth greens

Tastewise ok for all dishes...

Total bill is RM157.55 nett for 5 pax....I think it is slightly expensive compared to other 'dai chow' restaurants that we usually go...
