Almost Throwing My Hands Up in the Air! But Then … There’s Nasi Lemak to Save the Day!

August 27, 2014 | 7,199 views

Nasi Lemak Det Station Ampang

Nasi Lemak; one of the most versatile dishes in Malaysia where you can have this for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even supper and it feels so right. Can we name this our National Dish already?

Pardon the awkward sounding title, like something out of those viral websites with continuous feeds of mind-blowingly catchy headlines but in return providing you with a rather blah story. If you have been on the social media circle long enough, you must know what I am talking about.

It might even scream corny/tacky … or worse, spam-my.

Yeah, the reason that I had to strip off this white brief of mine (and no, I am not on some private beach playing games) and wave them high up in the air is mainly owing to the deluge of spam comments flooding every single post of mine.

I must have been pretty complacent lately (or the past year maybe), but the spam comments run in the thousands. Really. So much for the anti-spam plugin. So here I am, apologizing to anyone whom had left your comments on the posts but got no replies from the lazy Motormouth.

I must have been too engrossed in deleting spam comments. Or just plain lethargic from the 6+ years of writing on Motormouth From Ipoh.

Nong & Jimmy Thai Seafood BBQ @ Ampang – Shades of Its Glory Days?

January 19, 2013 | 31,580 views

Nong & Jimmy's Grilled Crabs

The famous Nong & Jimmy’s grilled crabs (RM60/kg; the two crabs weighed 1.2kg = RM72)

Okay, now don’t dismiss the thought that Motormouth ain’t coming back with a slurry of posts, leading to the festive month of Chinese New Year. A scary notion knowing that it’s less than a month away and I have yet to plan for my homecoming this year. Imagine the horror when I can’t make it back in time for the Reunion dinner!

But I shall refrain from babbling about CNY this early in the morning. The past week has been nothing but chaotic (in a somewhat positive way; peppered with slight melodramatic moments here and there) and I’m glad that Monday will be a brand new start! Fingers crossed, fingers crossed …

No more craps? Fine. Here’s a crabby story for you to munch on; the place almost everyone (KL-ites at least) has been to …..Nong & Jimmy Thai Seafood BBQ. Read the rest of this entry »

The Best Chicken Rice in Malaysia. Or … Was This?

October 23, 2011 | 21,483 views

Beautiful Poached Farm Chicken

Notice the more saturated tones of yellow on the chicken skin? Compared to the ones with a lighter shade of yellow, the “choy yin gai” (farm chicken) possess a definite advantage in terms of flavour, texture and yeah … monetary values, of course.

Just came back earlier this afternoon from a self-declared heaven on earth.

Yeah it was indeed a very timely excursion to one of the most obscure places in Malaysia, yet brimming with potential, exuding characters unparalleled and just plain screamed for attention, albeit in a subtle manner. Wait for the post in another few days.

For now, let’s talk CHICKEN RICE.

Poached Farm Chicken

Half a chicken (option of the usual chicken or “choy yin gai”) poached to a marvelous extent; retaining the natural juiciness of the flesh with a toothsome bite (we picked the “choy yin gai” at more than RM30 for half a chicken), garnished with bits of fried shallot and coriander but not before being drizzled lightly in the usual soy sauce-based concoction.

Satellite Chicken Rice and the countless New Restaurant Ipoh Chicken Rice outlets were none too impressive, but Hong Seng in Section 17 was a clear winner when it comes to roasted chicken.

And then here’s the supposedly champion of all champions; Loke Yun Ampang Chicken Rice. But …. seriously? Read the rest of this entry »

Foong Foong – The REAL Ampang Yong Tau Foo?

October 12, 2011 | 27,796 views

Stuffed Red Chillies, Beancurd, Okra, Brinjal

Ampang Yong Tau Foo – Like bread and butter; “Ampang” and “Yong Tau Foo” are inseparable entities.

The hunt for good Yong Tau Foo in Kuala Lumpur continues, in a fashion that’s most relevant now since this task started way back then when we were dejected over Ampang Homeland’s meagre version. Ampang Homeland, Orchard View and Foong Foong are neighbours, so to speak.

Situated adjacent to each other, you can’t help but feel sorry for the team on the losing end of the stiff competition. Though the first two names have had branches all over Klang Valley (correct me if I am wrong), while Foong Foong stays adamant with just one solitary outlet serving their range of 37 years-rich legacy.

Did this experience leave us enamoured with the some said over-hyped Ampang Yong Tau Foo?  Read the rest of this entry »
