Restaurant Yan Yan - Old Klang Road

Elaine has resigned as a market researcher in Synovate. We have been trying to arrange a time to meet each other for dinner. But to no avail as she is a VIP. All her schedule was full.

It was smart of me to think of going for brekkie instead during workdays. We have decided on Dim Sum near Taman Desa along the same row of shophouse as RT Bakery House. Unfortunately when we reach there it was too early. Not exactly early as it was around 7:45am. So I thought we could either go to Yan Yan or to Tim Sum house in Tmn OUG.

Yan Yan is closer and apparently it opens 24/7 for dim sum. All the dim sums are priced at MYR 2.90 per plate.

Quite reasonably priced.

3 pieces of fluffy Char Siew Pau

"Wu Kok" -Deep Fried Yam with BBQ Pork.

Steamed Fish Ball

Carrot Cake

Lor Mai Kai -Glutinuous Rice

and my all time favourite - Har Kau

Mouth watering yet? The prawn was fresh and juicy.

I will not say this is the best place for dim sum. But the food here was okay. you may wanna check this out. Its located directly opposite the junction of Taman Desa near the TDMC.

Appetizer

one day after i came back from work, my housemate was making this . Early snack just before dinner.

Tofu with bonito stock. The sauce at the bottom left corner is made from bonito. On the top right corner is some chopped ginger, spring onions and bonito flakes. it's simple yet yummy.

you should check this out one day

the sauce is made from boiling the soya sauce & bonito flakes

Last week i went to venture KL-Bukit Bintang area. Wondering why?  to purchase the tix to Wang Lee hom's Music Man Concert *smiles*

it is a good deal @ 15% off. *happy* *happy*

I could rmb very well the last time i went to pavilion was when we met up with a friend who came back from sydney. and i could rmb well there is this bakery in Pavilion that sells "charcoal bread"

This is the charcoal bamboo bread by Lavender

I know it looks weird..and its so blackish that you doubt you will even put it into your mouth. as usual i tend to check out new(difft) things. if i could rmb well i paid MYR3.80 for 3 pieces of the bread.

and the verdict is "I LOVE IT"
I may venture KL again for another adventure for bread maybe?

amazingly....

Cute

and Huge

Are you able to guess where is this place? It's Wong Kok Char Chan Ting. The one in which Roger Kwok is the ambassador.

This is a birthday gift to their diners. With the condition of minimum 6 pax per table.

It so happen that today is one of our colleague's birthday. We had no intention to come to this place knowing that they offer this. It happened coincidentally. When i opened the menu i saw this. So i told them..."hey you can order this! Just need to show them your IC tht's all"

We did not expect it to be so huge. When the waiter served it, he was carrying with both hands. And all of us go "Whoaaaaa......wahseh!" When we wanted to move it closer to the birthday girl, two person have to carry it.

Amazingly huge... It can easily feed more than 6 person. We only had 1/4 of it. In fact, i already felt full by looking at it. lol

I had a small cup of this and the side effect came immediately after. I had a minor headache since after lunch. Maybe it's time to admit that time flies. is this the sign of aging?

No caffeine for 3 yrs. I miss my flat white and caramel ice blended.

Looking forward to tomorrow. Gonna go watch "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". *smiles*

delicious

Went for tea @ delicious by Ms read in 1-Utama. It is located on the Ground Floor (beside FCUK)
J ordered a Carrot Cake. I don't fancy fresh cut carrots but carrot juice. Weird i know.. but i don't know how to explain why.



I got myself a cuppa Earl Grey Tea. The last time i had earl grey i rmb after adding the milk the tea turned "grey". I'm serious. This time, it looks just like how a normal tea in brown. *puzzled*

They offer Afternoon tea for 2 @ MYR59.90. Food served in 3-tiers. It looks quite good. Maybe i shall go and try one day.

Canton-i @ QB

Shrimp Wanton

Wanton Noodles

炸两 (Yu Tiao wrapped with rice sheet)

Roasted & BBQPork noodles

Century Egg Congee

I found the shrimp wanton good. The prawns are fresh and succulent. In terms of the noodles it was tangy. I've tried 炸两 when i was in Sydney @ Super Bowl. Basically i think the taste are similar as they are of the same thing. Nothing fantastic..very bland and just doesn't suit my taste buds. It doesn't bring a good flavour out of the dish.

Canton-i is the sister restaurant of Dragon-i.

They are non-halal.

Visited: Canton-i @ Ground Floor Queensbay Mall, Penang Island.

Happy V-day

Wish you a Happy V-day!!
Ever wonder why is Valentine's Day celebrated on the 14th February annually?

是因为要
2个人
1生14
的在一起

do you think this reasoning is valid? it could but very judgemental :) it depends on how you see it.

anyway..i hope everyone enjoy their valentines no matter if it's with their loved ones or friends or with their families.

treats

typical CNY treats for the "niu" year in Penang. Lion dance performance on Campbell Street by the Penang state government.

I regretted not snapping pictures during the Emperor Jade's Birthday. So i only have the pictures above.

I remember mentioning that i will be going to the Le Meridian Hotel for their afternoon tea. Well since its now in the afternoon and yet i'm still blogging away from my PC you know i didn't make it there.
That is because i fall sick these few days. It was really bad. I'm having a really sexy voice. Luckily i don't have to teach a bunch a kids today otherwise i would be dead at the end of the day.

The poor thing is i have 4 hours of teaching to do tomorrow. from 10am to 2pm. with my condition i don't know if i can speak. not to mention loud just speaking is a problem.

so if you want to scold me you can do it today as i wont be able to protest. because i lost my voice.

i have not been snapping pictures lately. having less adventures and eat out these days. sad to say but the momentum has gone down.

maybe the momentum in me has dissappear..

Happy happy 牛 Year...

Wishing all a Happy Happy New Year....
May you have wealth, health and a prosperous year.

恭喜恭喜 新年快乐

万事如意 心想事成

Happy New Year 2009

3 yrs has passed. I always ask myself what are the success stories in the past 3 years.
It really depends on how individuals judge it.

To me there was nothing much to boast about.

What are my new year resolutions?
1. Wishes everyone good health
2. Wishes everyone filled with happy moments
3. Wishes all a good year ahead amid the global recession

CNY is coming soon....red packet season.

To be honest i think i'm getting lazier these days to blog. One is i have no time and on the other i have no internet connection.

and i have nothing to blog about. I feel as though i have been blogging about the same thing over and over again... *sobs*

Has been long since my last post. Many events has taken place in the past 1 month.

Not much food explores though. Guess it was replaced by weddings.
Started working here in Cyberjaya since 1st December. Just like any ordinary new hire not much work is involved. Just a lot of training and slides to read on and doze off eventually?

Will need to travel to Sg next week for 5 days to be exact for training before kicking off work in January.

Wondering why such a gap cus there will be a 2 weeks shutdown period here in HP Malaysia.
So i'm taking 14 days off before resuming work. 10days shall be spent in Penang.. :)

Preserved Radish with Egg

Have you tried sweetened dried radish?

The very first time i had it was during CNY in Mae Sai, Thailand.

All of us fell in love with it and when we returned to Bangkok we went to the local market in Chinatown to buy the sweetened dried radish because apparently we can't find it back here in MY.

A big pack. and we finished it quite quickly. It was like only 3 cooks.

This is the Penang version from my mum's kitchen style of Fried Egg with Preserved Sweetened Radish.

Now they sell sweetened radish in Malaysia. I saw it in the Pasar Malam @ Taman OUG.

You should check this dish out.

May i shall cook this next week. Hee..hee..

Spag

Sometimes a simple meal like this makes you happy.

Believe me nowadays cameras do make something look way much presentable. Leggo's spag sauce is a bit sourish. Best is to make your own spag sauce from fresh tomatoes or tomato purees that can be find off the shelves.

Current Mode: Craving for

Moist Chocolate Cake

Curry Chicken Danish

Prepare the filling with the ingredients below

Chicken Breast
Curry Leaves
Onion
Curry Powder
Dash of pepper and salt
Potatoes
Star Anise
*Fry and mix all the above to your taste*


Buy the puff pastries from the nearest supermarket. such as the "Kawan" brand puff pastries.


Fold the pastries after you have filled with the curry chicken and potatoes.
Don't try to be greedy and put too much and overfill the pastries.

Because you will eventually see it actually leaks from here.


I made the above last week and that was my breakfast for a few days.
and it was yummy :)

Cova @ The Gardens Mid Valley

Cod Fish Spaghetti

Dessert of the day: Butter Cake (from their daily set lunch menu) Tiramisu (side order)

It was a lunch with our client Alliance Bank. The food are quite good especially the tiramisu. I liked my spaghetti :)

Rmb to try their desserts. Apparently they are good and famous in desserts.
