KL Food Trip, Part 3

Here is the final installment of my KL food trip.
Have you ever try dark-colored style Hokkien Mee in SG? Not for me.
For the 1st time in my life, I saw and tried dark-colored instead of the usual yellow-styled Hokkien Mee.
Be prepared to wait for at least 30min during peak hours. This store is super packed with customers.



It's kinda of refreshing taste to try it. Nevertheless, it tastes great. However, the noodles that they used is thinner than the usual yellow noodles. (You can notice it in the picture below.) I thought it was Beehoon initially. :)



If you hunger for more besides the mee, you can try the fried fish cake as well.


Reminder: Please eat it when it is served HOT!

Finally, I would thank to my 2 good friends, Dave and Winston, who bring me to around for the good food in KL. Really thanks to them for spending their precious weekend with me!

KL Food Trip, Part 2

Anyone wants to try high-end Nasi lemak? Introducing Mdm Kwan's Nasi Lemak!



My colleague brought me to a branch in Mid-Valley shopping mall. It was a huge mall packed with people. As I bite the rice, one can smell the fragrance of coconut milk in every gain and enveloping in the air. The chicken tasted equally great as well!

After the meal, we ordered icy dessert for a hot humid day: Chendol. The taste is what I can never find in SG. No words to describe it. Sorry that I forget to show the green chendol in the image below.



If you have some spare cash to try high end nasi lemak, do save it for your next KL trip.

KL Food Trip, Part 1

Did I mention Malaysia has better Bak Kut Teh compared to SG?
Here it is! Luckily for me, I have another work trip to Port Klang to try it again!


As a common practice, Malaysians tend like to taste Chinese tea before having BakKutTeh. We have Jasmine tea.
In SG, there are 2 types of soup: Clear and Dark. However, there are Dark soup and Dry ones available in our friendly neighbour next door.


Soup Style

The gravy find in the dry ones taste like our Claypot Chicken.


Dry Style

The soup is so addictive that I finish almost all of it! Seeing this, my colleague ordered an individual bowl for me just to satisfy my cravings! :)



I am so full when I left this coffeeshop! Guess I need to exercise more to get rid of the fats in my body :)

Mamou Steak

After reading ieat's blog on Mamou steak, I told myself "DIE DIE MUST-TRY" if I have a chance to go Manila on work trip. Guess my prayers have answered! :)

The restaurant is located in a new town (Fort Bonifacio), where lots of rich people stay and it's only 15mins car ride from the airport.
It was quite a rush trip as I reach there 30mins before it close for break at 3pm.

Mamou has 2 serving time: 11am-3pm (Lunch) and 6pm-10pm (Dinner).
Please make reservation if you are going for the dinner as I heard it is very crowded during evening time.



The steak is good. However, it comes with a slightly heavy price tag (about S$60).
It is so good and juicy that you can eat it on its own without any sauce. For those steak-lovers, I am pretty sure you don't mind paying for it.



In my opinion, the portion of the steak is quite big. It is sufficient to share among 2 persons.

World's 2nd longest beach: Marina Beach (Chennai)

Besides blogging about food, this blog is dedicated to travelling as well. I love to travel. Occasionally, I get to travel around due to some work trips.

A few months ago, I was privileged to set onto the sandy ground of World's 2nd Longest Beach: Marina Beach (approximately 12km long), Chennai. It is this place that suffered the worst of tsunami in 26th Dec 2004. My heart goes out to the families who suffered in this terrible disaster.


TUTU

The above is a common form of transport locally where i can see a family of 6-8 squeezing in such a small vehicle. I can't remember what the local called it. But in Thailand, it is known as "TUTU".


Fishing Boat
Many local living near to the sea depends on it for a living.



Due to my tight work schedule, I don't really have the time to tour in Chennai. I only manage to take the above snapshots on the day I was flying back to Singapore.
