Wat Tan Hor at Tuck Kee Restaurant at Jalan Yau Tet Shin

I had my dinner at the Tuck Kee Restaurant at the famous Jalan Yau Tet Shin , and I recalled that I haven't blog about the wat tan hor and the fried hor fun from this place. The fried hor fun here is not the same as the char keoy teow (or kuetiau)  although both dishes have the same cooking material - some seafood and most importantly the flat noodle (kuetiau). Char keoy teow that is very famous in Penang are usually spicy and dry, while the famous fried hor fun in Ipoh is usually slightly wet and is not famous - and wat tan hor is fried hor fun in the mixture of soup and eggs. Wat Tan Hor By the time we reached Tuck Kee about less than an hour after the shop is open, the place is already full house and luckily for us, there is a table of customers who were about to leave. My father ordered the bean sprout which I deemed is a mistake.

Aglio Olio Prawn Spaghetti at Blackwood Coffee and Chocolate, Kulim

I have never heard of Blackwood Coffee and Chocolate until few months back when I first went there with few of my colleagues to have early birthday celebration to one of them. The Blackwood Coffee and Chocolate was just around the Kulim town for about months, so, I'm glad that there is some place where I can stop by to have my dinner once a while since the food and drink there are actually pretty pricey. There is one food which I find it quite good is the aglio olio prawn spaghetti. The spaghetti is lightly oiled making the noodle smooth enough that you can swallow it directly. As it is aglio olio, the spaghetti was served with some spices rather than the traditional tomato sauce. I like the portion served as well, just right as well as not too stingy with the prawns. I have about 6 pieces of the prawn meat and the prawns are medium size and to be honest the prawns are fresh. Maybe because the grocery mall connected to the Blackwood Coffee and Chocolat...

Grilled Boneless Chicken at Abbey Road Bistro Restaurant

 Abbey Road Bistro Restaurant is one of the bistro and restaurant which was inspired by the Beatles; which I find it quite interesting - something not common in Malaysia; and reminds me of Mary's Kitchen which was inspired by another icon, Elvis Presley. I was so tempted to try out the food in Abbey Road Bistro Restaurant for quite some time and last Saturday I finally decided to give it a go and drive all the way to Abbey Road Bistro Restaurant which is located in the Sunway township at Seberang Jaya. The shop is located at 6-GF, Lebuh Tenggiri 2, Pusat Bandar Sunway, 13700 Seberang Jaya. It's within walking distance from the Sunway Carnival Mall - so one can always park the car in the mall and walk there.

Large Prawn Noodles at Kedai Makan Sow Mui

It was quite a surprise for me that when my brother told us that we can get large portion of prawn noodle one of the day during our visit to Kuala Lumpur when we were still deciding where to go for breakfast. And so, we decided to give the prawn noodle a try. This prawn noodle stall is at Kedai Makan Sow Mui which is located in the village somewhere at Kuala Ampang; about 5-10 minutes drive from our condo. You can use Waze to find the location as it is in foursquare as well. It is hard to get parking here, so once you reach the village, it is best to quickly get a parking almost anywhere you can get. Don't expect to park right in front of the shop because I'm pretty sure it will be full. The place is still crowded when we reached there although it was past breakfast hour - my brother and I wake up late as we stay up late to watch football the night before that. Kedai Makan Sow Mui According to my brother, the fish porridge is also the specialty of the coff...

Spaghetti Aglio Olio at Ben and Lynette Maison Patisserie

If you want to taste the original traditional Italian pasta dish, ordering the spaghetti aglio olio is better choice than the normal spaghetti because the normal spaghetti usually get the taste from the sauce where as the aglio olio will give you the taste of the traditional spices. During our last visit to Ben and Lynette Maison Patisserie , we also ordered a set of spaghetti aglio olio. Overall, I like the taste of the spaghetti aglio olio; in fact I would definitely order the same dish again, should I have another stop at Ben and Lynette Maison Patisserie. The spaghetti is thin enough with nice texture and the way the noodle is lightly oiled makes the thin noodle smooth and you can just slurp the noodle. Because it is the aglio olio, the spaghetti is not served using tomato sauce; but rather olive oil with some spices which brings out the taste of the spaghetti. However, I would have say that the portion served is rather small, so for those who are heavy on food, one por...

Dining Experience at the Suffolk House Restaurant, Penang

During the first quarter of 2014, my group organized a teambuilding event playing "Break the Code" following the team lunch at Suffolk House in Penang, the lunch was partially sponsored by our manager. Basically, we arrived at Suffolk House around 12 in the afternoon on Monday and we were then shown to our table by one of the waitress. The restaurant area was tastefully renovated with the classy English design, the building has tall dining area - making the dining area looks grand. The surrounding of this heritage building was beautifully restored and only the ground floor is open to all, while there is a tour around this heritage building which cost RM10.

Chew On The Signature From Ben and Lynette (B & L) Maison Patisserie

I posted about one of the must visit cafe in Ipoh, Ben and Lynette Maison Patisserie previously in this blog and although I don't really like the way the cafe only accepts cash for business, I still like the food there - and definitely one should not missed out on ordering the signature dish from Ben and Lynette. There are two signature dishes from the menu and we decided to give the "Sandwich Train" a try. The Sandwich Train is actually a long sandwich served together with a bowl of potato wedges. I would say that the sandwich is about a-foot long, which reminds me of "foot-long" subs from Subway. The Sandwich Train which reminds me of the Foot-Long Subs from Subway I like the way the Sandwich Train was presented to us - on a  plastic chopping board; with the bowl of wedges residing at the corner of the chopping board as well as the sauce. It also looks delicious to be eaten when served this way.
