RM 6 (USD 2) Chicken Chop at Kota Damansara, Dataran Sunway Food Court

My son ordered this Chicken chop at Kota Damansara Food Court, Dataran Sunway and it only cost RM6 (USD2). Although the pieces of chicken is not big, the fries and coleslaw would make this meal complete. Anyway, this is a very reasonable price for a chicken chop. My son loves the gravy very much and he says it is very nice. I have not tasted it, so I can't comment much. By the way, I saw that the lamb chop is also selling for RM6. Therefore, I am going back there to try it! LOL!

Teluk Pulai Bak Kut Teh, Puchong - New Location

I was in Puchong recently and I decided to drop by Telok Pulai Bak Kut Teh restaurant. I found that there is a new restaurant operating in the old location that Teluk Pulai used to be. But when I drove to the the row of shoplot behind the old location, I found Teluk Pulai restaurant there, at the corner facing the main road. Hah, lucky me, I can satisfy my cravings for a good bowl of Bak Kut Teh (Pork Herbal Soup). So, I quickly parked my car and sat down to order! I asked for rice with long beans and dried prawns (Heh bee), yau char kwai (Chinese Crullers) and a bowl of pork ribs bak kut teh. This is a plain type of bak kut teh but with strong herbal smell and flavourful soup. I washed down the bak kut teh and rice with a pot of Chinese Tik Kuan Yin tea. Mmmmm, a very satisfying lunch! LOL!

Second Visit To Yit Yue Hiong - Must Have Before Leaving Lumut!

I really love the food at Yit Yue Hiong which I visited six months ago when I was in Lumut. Therefore during my last trip to Lumut during the year end school holidays, I just couldn't leave Lumut without savouring all the nice dishes there! LOL! One more go before hitting the road! ha ha ha! I ordered the same dishes that I had the last time. The crispy honey squid never fails to impress me! Very tasty!

Then comes the kam heong (chilli) crab. Very unique and savoury taste! The best I had so far! mmmmmmm, drooling whenever I think about it!

And then again, another tofu dishes for the kids! LOL!

Nice succulent Assam Prawns........sour and savoury....yum yum! Really fresh prawns!

Steamed red snapper (Ang Cho) fish! Very sweet, fresh and tasty flesh! Lots of crispy garlic in it!

Fried bihun and Kailan vegetable.......both are nice too! Fried bihun all finished in a jiffy! LOL!

Kari Kepala Ikan Ah Pau, Lumut - Chinese Restaurant

After having a light snack at Capri Italian Restaurant, we took a leisure walk around Lumut town. Guess what, we got hungry again and decided to drop by the first Chinese restaurant right after the Chinese Temple and Chinese School, Eng Ling Lumut. The name of this restaurant is Kari Kepala Ikan Ah Pau (Ah Pau Curry Fish Head Restaurant). It was time for supper so we did not order the Curry Fish head, which would be too heavy when eaten with rice. Therefore, we just opt for the noodle dishes. We had Wat Tan Hor (Braised Flat rice noodles), Yin Yong (Braised Flat Rice Noodles with Rice Vermicelli) and Man EE Mee (Dark Soya Sauce Egg Noodles, forgot to take photo).

The Wat Tan Hor and Yin Yong have almost the same taste as Penang Tuapan, which I like very much. The seafood inside is fresh and the noodles have nice wok hei (hot wok) aroma. I recomend that you try these two dishes! Yum Yum!

Ahhhhh, a nice meal before hitting the sack! LOL!

The total bill plus drinks came up to be around RM17.

Easy Shortcut Butter Cornflakes and Cereal Squid Recipe

Restaurants normally cook buttered cornflakes and cereal with prawns instead of squid. I have lots of 'sotong' (squid) in my freezer from my trip to Pantai Remis, so I gave this recipe a try using squid. I guess this dish would taste better if I deep fry the sotong with a little corn flour or with off the shelf deep frying flour. End result,.......mmmmm, not bad leh!

Ingredients
Squid,500gms cut onto wide rings
Corn flour or flour for deep frying, enough to cover the squid
Butter, 3 table spoons
Crispy Cereal, (from Nestum or off the shelf prepacked cereal for cooking), 1/2 cup or more
Crispy cornflakes, 1/2 cup Egg, 1 pc, slightly beaten
Oil for deep frying
Curry leaves, from 3 sprigs
Cili padi (birdeye chilli), 2 pcs, cut into small slices (optional)
Salt to taste (optional)

Coat squid with corn flour. Deep fry the squid in hot oil (not more than 2 minutes or else it would turned springy). Drain away excess oil and put the squid aside. Heat up wok and add in the butter. Put in the curry leaves and slowly pour in the eggs using a sieve to attain hair like texture. (alternatively you can use deep frying oil to make the eggs crispy). Put in the crispy cereal, cili padi (optional) and cornflakes. Add salt (optional) to taste. Put the mixture on the deep fried squid and serve.

Nice and Flavourful Curry Mee at City Noodle Cafe Pantai Remis, Jalan Hala Nelayan 2/1

After filling up our ice boxes with fish and seafood at the Fish Wholesaler warehouse we headed back towards the Pantai Remis main road. There is a busy coffee shop, City Noodle cafe located at the shoplot just before the main road which serve nice Curry Mee (Curry Laksa). The 'si tau poh' (lady boss) that ran the Fish Wholesaler business told me about this stall. I can taste the natural sweetness in the curry gravy because they use a lot of fresh seafood in it. There are many small size prawns floating in the flavourful gravy. The curry spices has a nice aroma and I love the little pieces of baby shark meat inside in the mee (noodles) which gave the curry mee a special taste. One bowl cost only RM2.50.
My wife tried the prepacked nasi lemak and she said it was quite nice. Sorry, I was enjoying the curry mee and forgot to take photo of the nasi lemak (coconut milk rice with sambal).
