Youtiao

Bought this youtiao from a neighbourhood stall...costs RM1 which is lower than market price (usually around RM1.30). I enjoyed eating this by dipping it into soy bean milk.

Unrelated to the above, the below CKT was bought from 2 different stalls - one with darker colour and bigger portion but cheaper price (RM6.50), the other with lighter colour, smaller portion but slightly higher price (RM7.00).

This CKT is one of my lunch on a WFH weekday, shared with my parents.

Meanwhile, i finally tried the Ayam Madu (Honey Chicken) from Buharry Briyani Bistro (delivered via FoodPanda)...

The size is equivalent to KR quarter chicken, tastewise on the sweet side, hence we scrapped away the 'madu'...

I don't think they use genuine 'madu', maybe it has been added with sugar.

not my type of chicken as i prefer savoury and spicy chicken.

Foodpanda Delivery - Buharry Briyani (2nd Order)

This time we decided to try their banana leaf rice (but without the leaf when delivered to us😆)

The banana leaf rice comes with masala chicken dish, about 3 - 4 small pieces of chicken in it.

3 types of veggies

2 types of curries (one with dhal, one without), a rasam and a papadam

I also ordered 2 pieces of roti canai

and a pack of mee goreng mamak....

Was surprised with that huge pack of mee goreng with an egg topping somemore!

All these for only RM14.92 inclusive of delivery!

The above foods are too much for us (3 person) as I did not expect the generous portion given for both the rice and noodles.

If I had knw it earlier, I wouldn't order the roti canai. 

Overall, the banana leaf rice & roti canai were good, though the mee goreng was slightly flavourful.

Next, I attempted to order the below...but cancelled the order as we decided to cook...

Miscellaneous

 Some random updates on the foods that i had recently:

The below Cantonese-style rice dumplings were given by annoyin' sis. She ordered it from her parents-in-law's neighbour in Bangsar (some sort of home business catered around their neighborhood only).

Just a typical chang but quite huge size (about 450g each) with the usual ingredients such as salted egg yolk, pork (no fats), beans and shitake mushroom. 

It could taste bland for some as it is not overly seasoned like those chang sold outside, and lean pork meat is used.

That's the only type of rice dumpling i had for this year Dragon Boat festival.

meanwhile, annoyin' sis also made Oreo Cheesecake for Father's Day...here are a few slices she packed for us....We didn't put it into the freezer, hence the soft texture.

I have also recently stocked up some biscuit and junks...to munch on while WFH...*apart from the huge pack of peanuts....

First time trying 'Twisties Spicy Seaweed flavor'.....just so-so only, very light spiciness and seaweed taste...

I prefer the more common flavors such as Cheese/Chicken/Curry.

Foodpanda keeps me tapping....

These days i can't avoid tapping into Foodpanda for some discounted food...

such as these A&W Mozza burgers that i keep on ordering for a few times (on separate occasions)

I just couldn't resist burgers!

tada!!!

Here's a closer look on the ingredients inside

2 slices of beef patties, some lettuces, tomatoes, thin chicken strip and melted cheese...

and the price?

2 for only RM13.40 inclusive of delivery.

so worth it!

Another worth-to-order item is KR set meal with 2 side dishes...

I hav ordered this for a few times too...as each box is only RM9😆

well....at least for now i can satisfy my 'fast food cravings' while WFH...

 

BON APPETIT!

Vaccinated

This is a non-foodie post, but more of a most discussed topic these days...

As of today, both my parents have taken their vaccination...while i m still waiting (dunno when)

My young-at-heart mum got her jab in a private medical center located in Mid Valley, instead of the mega PPV centers.

Well, it was a quick one....or should i say, superfast/efficent service as she does not need to wait/queue at all.

The appointment was scheduled at 10am. We reached there at around 9:45am....then the staff ushered us to fill up the forms/verification. This took about 5 minutes. Not long after (less than a min), her name got called and voila!

The syringe is ready....

jeng jeng jeng.....

I asked my 'young-at-heart mum' on how it felt when the needle was poked onto her arm...

and she said....'it feels nothing....like nothing happened' (me: what??!)

The entire process completed within 15 minutes including the observation time after injection. This is probably the fastest time taken as most of the people i know took about 30 minutes to an hour for the entire vaccination process.

Quick and efficient service from the healthcare staffs. Kudos to u all!

after done....my 'young-at-heart mum' was still energetic and 'semangat' to go shopping~~~😑

Secret Recipe Durian Cakes

Went to Mid Valley for grocery shopping and stopped by Secret Recipe to look see look see if anything interesting....

Initially wanted to buy durian cheese tarts but there is no 'Super Trio' promotion.

It was still early around 10am when some of the cheese tarts are still 'baking' in the oven.

Meanwhile at the cakes section...all nicely displayed....and i saw someting that captured my attention...

yes, the one with 'thorns' surface

all look so tempting....i was captivated by the sight of the cakes!

ended up buying 2 slices of durian cakes....can't remember how much....i think roughly RM11.50 per slice...

According to the Secret Recipe website, the description for this 'Absolute Durian' cake is as follows:

Four layers of premium vanilla cake with three layers of rich durian filling.

tastewise not bad...like actual durian and got that 'aroma' though not pungent...

I will buy this again while stock lasts (it's a seasonal cake which only available during durian season)

Meanwhile...my fav 'addictive nuts' are back!!!

bought this from a snack store in NSK for RM18.

1kg of peanuts....and i have already finished half of it....gosh!

Foodpanda Delivery - Buharry Briyani

Decided to try on some other food....this time I ordered from Buharry Briyani which i have not heard of...

Gave it a try coz of the free delivery stated in the Foodpanda app.

The recommended item is their briyani rice....

which comes with papadam and a chicken drumstick (wrapped in a separated plastic bag, shown below)

i also ordered a chicken murtabak and a piece of roti canai kosong...

the curry dhal sauce and the pickled onions (for murtabak) are provided in small plastic packets.

The chicken murtabak is abit on the dry side coz there is not much egg & oil used in the minced meat.

Roti canai is quite standard....it was still hot when reached us. Best eaten hot/warm when the dough is still fluffy.

The briyani rice is quite alot...one whole full box (weighted about 450g ++) with a hard boiled egg buried beneath the rice...This briyani rice comes with papadam & chicken (ayam masak merah). 

Overall the foods are OK. 

The total price for all the above: RM17.90 inclusive of delivery

My mum dislike the briyani coz got gamey taste/aroma, hence I will not order again.
