Go Street Noodle - Rice Set

After having numerous visits to Go Street Noodle, I decided to try out their rice/noodle 'set meal' this time.

 The menu for rice/noodle set is divided into 3 sections, where u can choose either rice or noodle in Section A, a meat dish in Section B and a veggie/tofu dish in Section C. This combination is priced at RM12.90++

I had rice with braised egg + minced pork in basil + okra

if u r a vegetarian, u can opt for the combination of Section A + (2 x Section C) which mean u get to choose 2 veggie/tofu dishes (and omit the meat dish)...for RM10.90++

Overall, the dishes are fine, the minced pork basil is very flavorful and goes well with rice.

The bill came to RM13.65 after service charge.

Cendol and Durians

McD is selling cendol softserve in green cone, but I did not try. Instead I go for my usual RM1 vanilla flavor and it was served on a green cone too...The green cone is flavorless just like the usual ones, hence the green coloring is just for aesthetic purpose.

 On another note, my colleague's MIL has been selling lemang wrapped in periuk kera (Nepenthes mirabilis) leaves which is kinda rare due to the extinct of this 'periuk kera' species. They have this plant in their 'kampung' compound hence decided to use it for their 'seasonal lemang'. I bought a box of 5 with rendang chicken at RM15. It tastes just like some ordinary lemang…

Presentation wise, i think the leaves wrapping the glutinous rice looks cute...

 During the last 'long weekend' my sis went to visit a durian orchard in Raub and bought some durians home.

The orchard belongs to a church friend and the durians were sold to them at a promotional price.

The top is D24 meanwhile the bottom is Musang King

This would be the best durians thus far after a few rounds of crappy durians we bought at roadside and night market.

Anyway, I think we had enough durians for this year...

Mala Mala @ IOI City Mall

Continuation of the previous post....

My colleague who 'belanja' me drinks had earlier requested me to 'belanja' him coz I recently got promoted...

Since he was so eager for a free meal...I have to grant his request by stuffing him with super spicy food....*evil laugh

 there are 4 level of spiciness....but since this is my first time, I choose the mild spicy (level 2) and non-spicy (level 1).

The concept of Mala Mala is that you gotta pick the ingredients from the veggie section and/or meat section.

Then, pass the basket/tray over to the counter to weigh the ingredients, and u will be charged accordingly (different rates for veggie and meat)

RM5.99 per 100gram of meat

RM3.00 per 100gram of veggies

The staff will asked if u would like to cook the ingredients with rice/noodles...*with additional charges

We dun intend to have rice/noodles, but we requested to have it divided the meat and veggie into half where one is cooked as 'mild spicy' and the other as 'non-spicy'.

A bowl of soup will be given to each diner.

Here's our dishes...

seems like they have added peanuts into the dishes...

Overall the food is OK....it feels like eating at Marche where u picked the ingredients and get the chef to cook them fresh (minus the greasy smell as the cooking is done in a closed door kitchen)…Anyway, the service is much better than Marche as u dun have to stand at the counter waiting for ur dish as they will give u a beeper.

The bill came to RM66 for these...

Complimentary soy bean ice-cream is given to each diner....which I forgot to try :-(

anyway,

BON APPETIT!

Matcha Latte & Brown Sugar Milk Tea

A kind and generous colleague treated me some drinks (on different days).

But well, there's a catch....Anyway, that would be another story...

So I had a hot matcha latte with pearls...from SukiCha...this small cup isn't cheap...but well, since it is FOC, no harm trying!

 a few days later....I had brown sugar milk tea with pearls (again..)

I think I have over-consumed pearls within the week as it is not easy to digest these pearls...

and yea, this small cup costs almost RM10! crazy....

Now that I have tried, I dun tink I would fancy any brown sugar milk tea with pearls...coz they are so overrated!

Dolly Dim Sum @ IOI City Mall

The team had the 3rd quarter 'team lunch' at Dolly Dim Sum

This time the budget per person is RM50.

I teamed with another colleague so that both of us could share the dim sum (and to try out more variety...) with our combined RM100 budget

 It was a crowded weekday lunch at Dolly but we have booked our tables...

The interior are quite impressive with blue & white porcelain plates/saucers decorating the wall

 and some antiques in some racks

Me and my 'partner-in-crime' colleague shared the below:

Royal Golden Fried Rice (RM24.30) 

 Salted Egg & Chicken Congee (RM9.90)

 Szechuan Dumpling - 4 pcs (RM11.20)

 Panfried Radish Cake (RM8.90)

Left: Crispy Shrimp Cheung Fun (RM12.50)

Right: Salad Prawn Dumpling (RM9.70) - 3 pcs in total but 1 was eaten

 Har Gao (RM10.20)

Siew Mai (RM9.50)

Puer tea (RM3.70 per pax)

Nice dim sum lunch, what more when it is FOC...

We managed to utilize our RM100 up until RM99.90 (lol!)…

When our boss handed over the bill to pay, we were so delighted that there is a 15% discount given for diner with birthday month falls on that month (July). And yes, we do have a July birthday baby and that is my partner-in-crime!

Our bill was reduced drastically by RM89 (from overall total of around RM589)...hence we could get to channel this fund for our next makan-makan ;-)

Medan Selera @ SkyAvenue

Medan Selera is located at Level G of SkyAvenue mall, below the newly-opened Bona Cinema. Operating hours are from 10am to 10pm on weekend (9pm on weekday), with seating capacity for 270. It was launched on early last year, but not many people noticed this place as it is located at a secluded underground area where people would seldom go.

adapting a modern food court design but this place is less popular than the 'Malaysian Street Food' at Level 3.

The seating area is spacious and bright...

 It has a variety of stalls selling halal food such as mee rojak, char kuey teow, curry noodles, nasi kerabu, nasi briyani, western and middle Asian cuisines...etc.

The price range around RM19-RM21 for a normal decent meal...

I went here for supper and utilised a RM20 coupon to order this plate of char kuey teow (RM19)…

It came with a few pieces of keropok ;-)

tastewise OK...can't expect much since there is no lard.

BON APPETIT!

Icon Kitchen, Bukit Jalil

 Decided to try out a Chinese restaurant in Bukit Jalil for our weekend dinner

We had stir fried sweet potato leaves with fu yu (fermented bean curd) (RM12)

pork ribs (RM20)

deep fried squid with salted egg (RM25)

 tofu with minced pork (RM15)

 and steamed tilapia in assam sauce (RM45)

 the dishes were flavorful but we were thirsty after the meal....too much msg!

The total price with rice and tea for 5 pax is RM141.95 inclusive of 5% service charge and 6% service tax.

It was a nice evening on that day....here's a sunset view
