Char Kuey Teow

I went to morning market alone last Sunday, since it was nearing noon, i decided to take a brunch as well.

Mum recommended this stall earlier, so i decided to give it a try.

I ordered a small plate of fried flat noodles mixed with yellow noodles

turns out to be so-so only 

the only nice is the prawn...other than that, jst mediocre

it's so hard to get a decent nice plate of Char Kuey Teow these days.

I guess i need to go to Penang to look for it...

Chinese Wedding Biscuit

You might want to congrat me if u see this.

BUT

again, it is NOT MY WEDDING, k...

my cousin sis jst got wed last week...and somehow, as a tradition, the family will distribute this delicacy (known as "daughter-weds-out" biscuit....direct translation, lol!)

Well, it is quite a common delicacy, and can be bought in any chinese pastry shop these days...

The one on the right is wedding biscuit, meanwhile the cone-shape-like-thingy on the left is also part of the wedding biscuit which is normally used for decoration (though it is edible). This is the first time i'm seeing it. It looks weird after being cut into half, but it tasted jst as good as the wedding biscuit!

this kinda biscuit used to be cheapo stuff where people dislike eating, but somehow i enjoyed it mch...coz it reminds me of...

mooncakes!

lol!

Cute Stuffs in da shop

Let me feast ur eye with some cutie and girlie stuffs.

There is this newly opened shop in the neighbourhood, which i can't remember it's name, and it sells very victorian kinda souvenirs and toys...

it just happened that we drop by that place after lunch to have a 'look-see' around

 most of the items there is either in pink or beige or white

 and  a lil' touch of gold ;-)

 yea, the phone is REAL! stupid me asking the sales assistant if it is meant for display!

 yeah..it is being displayed for sale and it is a functioning phone!

well, this shop is suitable for girls or someone who wants to buy gifts during Valentine...lol!

definately not for me ;-P

Sakae Sushi

As mentioned in my previous post, I went to this sushi shop to have bento set!

crazy eh?

anyhow, the bento set meal isn't something to shout about...jst that i dun feel like having sushi for a meal...and bento is alwiz my preference ;-)

This is what i ordered for mum - salmon and chicken teriyaki set

 meanwhile, sis choose to have tempura set with unagi fish...yummielicious!

it was a late dinner and we spent almost 1 hour plus there till the shop close!



Japanese 'wind'

As I mentioned in my previous post, the next cuisine to try out will be Japanese...

well, i did went to some sushi restaurant and had bento set (what? u mst tink i m not rite here...)

but that will be featured in my next post ;-) stay tuned!

At the meantime, here's what i had from the couple of weeks ago...

Green tea milk with red bean from Ochado!

This drink is superb...i like how the sweetness of red bean jived with the bitterness of green tea...well, it does taste bitter but refreshin'

thanks to boss for treating tis!

 Next, sushi set sis bought from Jusco...

 this is best served with wasabi and soy sauce she bought from her recent trip in Tokyo

and not to leave out, this yummielicious instant noodle, also from that trip

thick but flat noodle in miso soup, something new,

wish i could get some over here

bon appetit!



Sankolok Thai Restaurant

Recently i tried to get myself pampered with foods and hav been adventurous in trying out new cuisine at different restaurant...

Last week i choosen to hav Thai food...

 so, here i went...this humble place named "Sankolok"

 the ambience was so-so, nothing much to shout about...

 but they played cool music, and i like the air-conditioned environment especially on a hot day

 they served lunch promotion set meal, with starters, main meal, desserts and drink

 quite a reasonable price for such a restaurant setting...well, the food is jst ordinary, but the overall environment is okay for the price offered

 here is my jasmine tea drink served with the starter crispy snack

 and my main meal consists of veggie, spring roll, fried chicken wing and seafood tom yum

and the meal ends with this sweet coconut milk dessert, which i m not sure what-is-it-called...

but it was kinda refreshing and nice!

so, what's next???

japanese food perhaps...

Mi Na Rea Korean Restaurant

Korean food is always the last on my list when it comes to selection from a handful of international cuisine. I would prefer Japanese than Korean mainly b'coz i m not used to the sourish taste of their preserved Kimchi...or those condiments that comes with it.

Somehow, i decided to have Korean meal one fine evening, coz i have no idea on what to have for dinner.

I was tight on budget, hence I did not order any drink, but the staff was so nice to serve me plain water in this cute mug!

after some 15 minutes of waiting, my Beef Bibimbap set arrived 

 it comes with soup and 7 condiments, i was surprised to see so much of plates on my table!

 i thought i only ordered the rice bowl, and never expecting someting like this to come along...

but anyhow, i took my time to chew each and every of the food...

it doesn't suite my tastebud, mainly b'coz some of the dish were to be eaten cold such as Kimchi, while the rice was steaming hot and the soup is room temperature...it was sort of like mixture of different temperature which almost damage my tongue!

nevertheless it was a good experience, perhaps i should try with a better restaurant next time.
