BAK KUT TEH @ Damansara Perdana

So I was starving when I reached home yesterday and saw this Chinese Food area in Damansara Perdana called JD corner I think. I know it's something corner but anyway, I saw that they had a Bak Kut Teh Stall, for you international readers, Bak Kut Teh is a Chinese Herbal Tea Inspired Soup originating from Malaysia and they usually mix it with all kinds of pork and vegetables and tofu. So I just had the pork belly with some tofu and lettuce, without rice of course and it was goooodddddd! It wasn't the best, but it was still good, the soup tasted like chinese herbs and it made my body feel all warm inside. The food above cost me about Rm8.50!

Janggut @ Hilltop Kota Kinabalu

 So Janggut which means beard in Malay is a restaurant that serves reasonably good Tom Yam in Kota Kinabalu. Apart from their Tom Yam, they are also known for their home made tofu and fried noodles. Pictured above is the Chicken TomYam heavily garnished with Coriander and Bean Sprouts. I like how the soup is mixed with coconut milk to give it a very thick feel. However, this will set you back around Rm7.50 and is quite costly for a typical coffee shop food.

The fried noodles below are also really great. I like the use of chillies and coriander when they fry the noodles as it gives the dish a punch on flavors, it's hard to find dishes that are light but at the same time has so much flavor to it. It's totally worth a visit!

Korean Restaurant @ Taylors Lakeside

So I'm back on my low/no carb diet and I decided to have this spicy beef soup in the only Korean Restaurant in Taylors University. It's cheap, only Rm10.90 as compared to other korean restaurants outside. However, the contents in the soup also proves that the owners try to cut cost with very very little amount of beef. The soup was just okay, but I would prefer if the food was value for money. With this however, you pay for what you get.

Mamak Food @ Damansara Perdana

Eating at the same Mamak Restaurant that served the bad Fried Noodles (Previous Post), I ordered the U.S.A Fried Rice this time. I must admit that the chicken stew was a little overwhelming for my healing stomach. But the rice was decent. It cost me around Rm7 and this dish is good to order if you're feeling like eating a variety of dishes on one plate. Very Mediocre. Nothing to scream about,

Yong Chow Fried Rice @ Damansara Perdana

Still on the road to recovery with my Food Poisoning issue, I decided to have fried rice at this restaurant called Ah Sai in Damansara Perdana. I went for the safest option of Yong Chow Fried Rice because no chinese restaurant which is still running can screw up a plate of fried rice. There's nothing really special about it but it managed to fill me up nicely! A dish like this cost me Rm6.

Fatty Crab @ Taman Megah

 Fatty Crab has been around the scene for quite some time and is quite famous for it's chilli crab, especially in the Muslim community. The restaurant is constantly full and I am lucky to have one of the owner's son as a good friend. So I was brought to the restaurant to have a nice and FREE dinner. I must say that the Chicken Wing (pictured above) is really really good, I like the way they fried the chicken and the marinade that goes with it is really good!

 The Fried Rice at Fatty Crab is also nice, it's not overly flavored and the mixture of the ingredients like beans, carrots and prawns really suit the dish well. But then again, what kind of Chinese restaurant can screw up fried rice? This is good though, I must admit!

This is the signature dish, the Chilli Crab, I'm not a big fan of crabs, because I'm too damn lazy to pry it open, you can say that it's maximum effort for minimum pleasure and I prefer soft shell crabs. The sauce however is really good, it's not WOW good but its good. The malay community seems to really like the sauce though as compared to their chinese counterpart, so if your taste palate is more malay, you would appreciate this dish even more than I would. The sauce is also really good with toasted bread!

Mamak Food @ Damansara Perdana

 So after my food poison ordeal,  I was quite picky with my food, and decided that I should let myself have a little bit of carbs, the Fried Noodles (pictured above) was ordered by my friend, it's cooked in the Indian Muslim (mamak) style and I must say that it is very very oily. It wasn't good, and my friend had to force himself to try and finish it, it cost around Rm3.50 for this dish.

I ordered the Maggie Goreng, Maggie goreng is basically fried instant noodles, it's pretty mediocre, and I had mine with some fish curry. At first I was a little put off by the added bean sprouts but then I realized that the bean sprouts actually gave it an extra crunch. Quite decent. Rm4.20.

Face2Face and Food Poisoning

 I love Face2Face. I remember going there all the freaking time because their Pan Mee (Flat Noodles) is to die for! But since I'm on a no carb diet, I just had a little bit of my friend's Mee Kolok (Pictured above), it's nice, i like the use of minced pork, barbequed pork and pork balls (yes, it's a very porky dish) and the mixture of sesame oil and garlic oil with the noodles is really tasty! A meal like this would usually set you back around Rm5.90.

 So I ordered this, a soup with eggs as well as vegetable. It's fairly decent, but I got food poisoning after that, I'm not sure if it's from the vegetarian dish (previous post) or if it's from this one, but I know that I kept on throwing up and had the worst bowel problem over the next two days, it's so ironic that I have a food blog and I got food poisoning right after. I'm going to stay away from this for awhile.

Now this is some three layer tea that my friend really love. He ordered one of it but I must say that they add a little too much ice. It's also about Rm4 a pop and to order another one would be quite expensive. Face2Face is a franchised restaurant and you can find it scattered all around west Malaysia and some parts of East Malaysia, you must try the spicy Pan Mee though!

The V

The V is a vegetarian restaurant located in Taylors University Lakeside campus. I like how their menu is very diversified and it gives you a very good value for your money. I wasn't hungry when I stopped by so I ordered a spicy vegetarian sausage stew with onions, I like the use of their tomato sauce with some added spice from the black pepper and chillies. It cost me around Rm7.90 for the stew.

Quite decent, quite satisfying.

Beef Noodles @ Kah Hiong Hilltop Kota Kinabalu

 This is a restaurant I went to quite some time ago that serves the best Beef Noodle soup! Pictured above is the noodles mixed with a special chinese soy sauce, i think its a mixture of various soy sauce, sesame oil and pepper. It's then garnished with some minced beef and spring onions. Quite nice! I like the mixture of the eggs noodles and the sauce.

This is the Beef soup, its basically beef parts (balls, tripe, meat) etc along with some winter melon cooked in beef broth and garnished with spring onions. It is very nice but I don't like the fact that they add in so much MSG into the dishes! But it is worth a visit! It's damn good!

Chinese Delicacies @ U Village Sungei Wang

The Ying Yong pictured above is a mixture of Tea and Coffee mixed with condensed milk. It's reasonable, as you can get this anywhere. Taste wise it's okay, it's just a drink that chinese restaurants like these can't screw up.

This is the deep fried prawn dumpling accompanied by a side of mayo. I think it's quite a rip off as they only gave me five pieces of tiny dumplings for Rm8.90. I could have ordered rice. It tasted fair, nothing really special about it either. I guess people generally go to this restaurant for the crowd!

Mixed Dishes @ 888 Restaurant in Damansara Perdana

 I went to a restaurant I always go in Damansara Perdana and had mixed rice without the rice of course. I had this curry/buttery chicken accompanied by some Japanese tofu cooked with onions and a little ginger with two fried eggs soaked in soy sauce. I must admit the fried eggs were good because the cook left it soaking in some light soy sauce, so it was sweet at the same time, the chicken was mediocre, but i would have appreciated if the tofu wasn't cooked with ginger though. The dish above was Rm5.

Like I mentioned before, I love my chinese siew mais (dumplings) this one was mediocre, but it managed to fill me up well. I love eating it with the garlic chili sauce! Rm2.20

Soupy Delight @ Kota Damansara!

I ordered this soupy dish which was accompanied with chillies, Foo Chook, Pork Sausages and Tofu boiled in soup when I was having supper with some friends in Kota Damansara. It's a very basic dish, low carb and theres a deep fried option as well, I opted for the soupy version.

I must admit it was a tad too salty for me thought (the soup)

Min Tien @ Bandar Sunway

 So i was hungry for some dinner when I was around Sunway Pyramid and I always eat at this Chinese Food Court next to it called Min Tien. In terms of cleanliness, it will put most people off, but the food choices there are quite decent. I had the Fish Ball soup (pictured above) and it came with all sorts of fish balls and this chinese fried tofu called foo chok, it's all soaked in soup and I absolutely love the 'Foo Chok', however, I was charged six ringgit for this dish and I thought that it was too much. I love how the food is accompanied by the sliced chillies if you wanted the extra spice though!

My friend ordered the Fried Kuey Teow (Pictured above), Kuey Teow is flat noodles and this is cooked with the Penang style which can be found all around Malaysia. It was decent, I tried a little bit of it and they did give a generous serving of cockles though, it can be a bad thing if you dislike it but you could always ask the cook to not add them in. The bean sprouts add a bit of crunch to the dish but I would have preferred it without. A basic dish like this cost us Rm4.50.

Damansara Perdana Brunch

 Okay, So i'm on a no carb diet and I decided to have some mixed rice without the rice. I went to some random Chinese food court in the Damansara Perdana area, food was kind of cold. But I was hungry, I saw some sweet and sour pork, some tofu and omelette with spinach and decided to have some of it. It was mediocre, it wasn't bad but it was cold. And I was hungry.

Pictured above is the siew mai from the same shop, it was warm and the taste was fair. I paid around 13 ringgit for all these food including the drinks. It's not bad of course but it could have been better when it came to the mixed rice selection. I would have appreciate it if the food was warm.
