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...

Bananabro

Good Morning Kopitiam

Chicken rice (RM7) with de-boned chicken drumstick + beansprouts (RM2)

The stall is open from morning 8am till 2:30pm. Usually sold out before 2.

This satisfies my craving for beansprouts chicken rice....

Greenlane Noodles

Now, I'm back to having prawn mee rather than crappy prawn+lam mee mix😂

Some small alley mamak stall

In between the rows of shophouses where the banks are located, there's one alley with mamak stall operating from morning 7am till 4pm. I saw some nasi lemak bungkus on the table so i tried a packet.

RM2 per pack....just ordinary one with sambal, egg, anchorvies, peanuts....without cucumber. Sambal is very spicy. They also have hardboiled eggs served on each table. RM1 per egg.

Bananabro

It has been a year plus since i last had banana leaf rice....so, it's time to have it again😀

4 types of gravy - chicken curry, fish curry, crab curry and dhal.

The fish curry tastes strongest.

Unlimited refillable rice and default non-meat dishes.

I also ordered an ala-carte chicken varuval, which is quite oily & spicy but bearable.

The default dishes are deep fried snake gourd, cucumber salad and mashed potatoes. Papadam is also unlimited.

This is basically a very $ worth meal if you're hungry and wanted lotsa carbs with unlimited refills.

Secret Recipe

The neighborhood SR has moved for the 3rd time and this time it is located right opposite the Pinnacle mall. It has lunch set, with the cheapest being fried rice for RM18.90++

Thong Kee - Fried Prawn Noodle

Hong Fu Lou

Dim sum at Hong Fu Lou restaurant. Ordered the usuals - Chicken, lap cheong and mushroom rice, Teochew siu mai and shrimp cheung fun. Never gets bored of this.

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

C Plus

Had dry pan mee in C Plus cafe in Pinnacle mall.

The noodles are hard, doughy type. It has porkballs, minced pork, romaine lettuces and crispy beancurd sheets. The soup is very salty and chili dip is very spicy. I added a fried egg (ala carte).

Taste OK, just don't drink the soup.

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

Thong Kee Kopitiam

Fried prawn noodles, but where is the prawn?

Got a few small ones hidden beneath the noodles. Taste mild, nothing special.

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

Greenlane Noodles

If you want an authentic prawn mee, just head over to Greenlane Noodles.

I went but tried something else - Prawn broth mix with Lam Mee gravy....

Taste OK ler....the lam mee gravy is mild and overpowered by prawn broth.

I also ordered a side dish 'lorbak'....to try out of curiousity.

Also quite ordinary, I can skip both in the future.
