Malaysia

Tung Choy (preserved vegetable)
babe_kl writes: **Non-Halal**I've been feeling extremely lazy since Saturday... not sure why, could it be the super duper hot weather??!?! All my housework have been put on hold and I just lazed around the whole of Sunday except washing the bathroom as I can't stand dirty bathrooms. Sighhh... I'm still feeling IT!Anyway, I would like to wish all the mommies a very Happy belated Mother's Day!Just a quickie post here...I was feeling lazy to go out one weekend, so cooked a pot of rice porridge. I've used white and red rice, hence you'll see red/brown spots in my porridge. The red rice provided a bite to the porridge. To make things simpler, I ... read more


Taman Indah Balakong Pan Meen
babe_kl writes: **Non-Halal**Last Friday, hubby and I were not working. However, we both woke up early to go for a walk. Aduiii he took me to this private land wayyyyy inside Bandar Sg Long and climb the hill backing Ulu Langat! I was cursing and swearing as I was totally not fit for the steep climb plus it's so embarrassing to have old folks over taking me!!! After huffing and puffing our way up and down, we got down to the foothill around 8am. I was famished but luckily my legs didn't buckled.On our way back, I got him to bring me to Balakong (the pekan side) for pan meen (board noodles). I only ... read more


Review: Sin Lok Restaurant

Malaysia

SL - Sin Lok Restaurant
babe_kl writes: **Non-Halal**Sin Lok Restaurant is amongst the older generation of Chinese restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. It is located in Kuala Lumpur's first shopping complex - Ampang Park! One of our manager used to bring our client nearby Ampang Park to Sin Lok for lunch. If I'm around for meetings, I will get to go too hehehe... Their dishes are very much old school and by far I can vouch that they serve the best roasted suckling pig in town! I guess the reason being that they will only roast it before serving even during huge wedding banquet!... read more


Review: Restaurant Hung Kee

Malaysia

HK - sui kow
babe_kl writes: **Non-Halal**One evening I wanted to eat wantan mee but it's hard to find good wantan mee at that hour. I know most will ended up at the Sungai Besi wantan mee but seriously their quality seems to have really gone down the drain that I won't grade it as wantan mee anymore. Suddenly I recalled Restaurant Hung Kee is opened at night now but not sure if they serve wantan mee cause they also serves dai chow (stir fry) dishes and noodles. So hubby suggested we take a gamble.Boy as I walked in the place, I was really glad to see char siu (bbq pork), siew yuk (roasted pork) and roast chicken hanging on the ... read more


Luncheon Meat Fried Rice

Malaysia

Luncheon Meat Fried Rice
babe_kl writes: **Non-Halal**Lard post dedicated to Lanatir.One of my favourite fried rice is with luncheon meat (Lyrical Lemongrass' fave too). Simply cube the luncheon meat up and fry it in non-stick pan till brown. You'll notice some oil will oozes out from the meat. Remove the luncheon meat and get rid of the oil (but if you're Lanatir, you can use the oil to cook the rice).You can use back the same pan or change into a clean wok. Scramble some eggs in oil and set aside. Next, fry some chopped garlic till fragrant ... read more


Harm Choy (pickled mustard cabbage)
babe_kl writes: **Non-Halal**I was lamenting to hubby one day that it must have been moons since I last drank Harm Choy Tong (Pickled Mustard Cabbage Soup in Cantonese) as my mom had stopped cooking that at home for years. According to one sinseh, this pickled mustard cabbage is bad for her knees. Sighhh...One day, we were eating at Fock Kee. Hubby asked me how come I didn't order Harm Choy Tong hahaha... I said I can make them myself. Moreover, Fock Kee serves complimentary soups for dinner :p. So the next day, I went to the market to grab some harm choy, tomatoes, soft tofu and some lean meat. I'm gonna use the guan tong (quick boil ... read more


Scrambled Eggs Topped With Chorizo on Homemade Multiseeds Bread
babe_kl writes: **Non-Halal**Comfy and hearty breakfast or snack of creamy scrambled eggs topped with chorizo on a slice of my homemade multigrain bread - it's just scrumptious!To make scrambled eggs, heat some butter on non-stick pan. Pour in some milk or cream (for a luscious, creamier and sinful version). Pour in eggs and stir. Stir all over the pan to ensure the bottom part of the eggs do not get over cooked. Remove pan from fire and dish up when the eggs came to the texture you fancy ... read more


boo_licious writes: After hearing about this place, I finally got to try it one Saturday. Usually, when we're running errands around Petaling Jaya State, I'll grab a quick snack from the mini egg tart stall. This time round, the stall was not around. Not sure if he has closed down permanently or closed for the Chinese New Year period (some hawkers take off after the festive season as they don't rest during that time).Anyway, I decided to try the wantan noodles. Heard a lot about it from friends. A small portion costs RM4, with a few pieces of char siu and two small wantans. The noodle texture is nice - chewy ... read more


GFX - pay and order at cashier
babe_kl writes: **Non-Halal**In between our rides at the theme park, we hurried off for a quick dinner instead of going to our regular place. Not so sure what to have we decided to head over to Highlands Hotel to check out the eating places since hubby didn't want to walk so far to First World. Found this Restoran Good Friends Express since I didn't want to wait and order dishes from the restaurant under the same name next door.This Good Friends Express is a self-service fast food restaurant ala Chinese. All you need to do is place your order and pay at the cashier. Then you move down the line to collect your order. The menu is ... read more


Review: Pastries from Yik Kee Restaurant

Malaysia

YK - durian tarts
babe_kl writes: **Non-Halal**Last weekend I had to FFK the JFKA session cos we decided to drive up the hill for some, well I won't say it's relaxing, perhaps... fun? Hubby and I were happy cos boiboi said he was super duper happy. I'm sure he does but seriously it's not that fun anymore, for me at least, going round and round on children rides... quite harrowing when you have a crazy little terrorist that spin the bloody teacup in detrimental speed!!! We were glad to see him smiling ear-to-ear bumping around in the children bumper car ride. He did that 3 rounds before we dragged him away for dinner (more on that later). Being the kiasu parent, we ... read more
