Menya Hanabi

This shop specializes in mazesoba (Japanese dry noodles) but I was craving for ramen...
So I ordered a bowl of shio ramen (RM30.20 nett) instead.
Quite basic with standard ingredients. The broth is not the thick type and taste mild.
Not the best ramen, just passable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ayam Gepuk from BrewMaster restaurant/pub. Nowadays pub also need to adapt to the ever-changing food trend.
The are 2 pieces of deep-fried tofu, some cucumbers, deep fried cabbage, a fried egg and a fried chicken leg.
You got to eat this with the peanut sauce, sambal/chili and kicap manis (sweet soy sauce) to get the 'kick'.
RM19.50 nett for this plate of imitation ayam gepuk rice. Imitation because it is not from a proper ayam gepuk shop and the chili is not spicy. 
Originated from Java, Indonesia,  ayam gepuk went viral nowadays and somehow everywhere there is a long queue for this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yong tau foo in 'Kedai Makan Makan'.
My usual orders are brinjal, bitter gourd and white tofu in clear soup. Paired with dry noodle in soy sauce (RM6 for noodle, RM2.80 or RM2.90 per piece of ytf depend on which you picked).
Taste good, i will definitely order their ytf again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back to Nando's after a year. Last year I went to the Pavilion BJ outlet, this time in Sogo KL.
Had lunch with my friend before we went to watch the orchestra rehearsal in DBKL building.
I had a quarter chicken with 3 small side dishes.
Complimentary mushroom cream soup.
This meal costs RM29.90 nett with free-flow drinks.

As usual, go to dry noodle place and order soup noodle LOL! I went to Menya Hanabi once only. I thought their dry noodle with sauce was OK but not my favorite. Hmmm...for better ayam gepuk, have to go ayam gepuk place but it is nice to just try the ones at pubs/ restaurants just to see how it taste like. It's kust like ordering steak at a non-steak house and it usually is not that good.

Ayam gepuk usually go for the spicy kick so not for me as I cannot eat spicy.
Agreed that ytf at Makan Makan place is tasty.
Aha, I like that U ordered two types of potatoes as side dishes. I would do the same. Fries and wedges. 😋

Oh didn't know ayam gepuk is trending. My area is Malay so naturally there are shops selling this.

Gu On

I finally tried Gu On.... It was a weekday late noon, hence the place was quite empty. The four banchan were served first while they prepare...
