Santini @ Jaya One

December 9, 2008 | 4,888 views
A week of break from blogging. And technology. OK, maybe not so much of the latter, but still regretting not bringing my notebook along … imagine trapped somewhere near KLIA for 3 whole days. Painful.

Cool-looking chairs …. bound to give that back an aching after a few shots!

You know the dreary feeling of returning to work after a long break? When your brain’s still accustomed to the carefree mornings, aka waking up and rollin’ in bed, anticipating/planning the day’s breakfast (or brunch), and treasuring every minute, every second of the day.

Without the hassle of dragging my carcass to the office and face the pc for 8 hours. Like now.


Near-zero occupancy on a Friday’s noon. Hmm ….

The complimentary house bread dipped into balsamic vinegar and olive oil

Circling around Jaya One, we were stumped on where for lunch. Service MUST be quick as I was rushing off for some ‘important‘ assignment after lunch.
Of course, our lunch on Fridays = 2.5 hours of pleasure dining. =P The perks of working with the government. (No rotten tomatoes, plz …)

Carpaccio and Rucola Salad Pizza (RM18.90)

And somehow I picked Santini, a brightly-coloured, rather chic outlet serving mostly Italian cuisine. With a lounge and bar, I’d assume people will throng this place for a drink at night. But I could be wrong, as Jaya One is practically ‘infested’ with restaurants, bars and cafes, it’ll be near impossible for an outlet to be packed to the brim. Unless it’s the over-rated (and over-crowded) Old Town White Coffee outlet, the favourite Chinese restaurant Ducking (which I’ve yet to find enough ‘kakis’ to dine with), or the perennial favourite of most coffee-junkies, Starbucks.

A slice of 8″ pizza with toppings of rucola greens, beef carpaccio, and mozzarella cheese

You see, after the damn long introduction, I’ve yet to touch on the food. Blame it on my pent-up emotions … ahem, I meant words. Ok, ok … here’s my take on the food @ Santini.
They serve a variety of pizzas and pastas, and some rather mind-boggling choices. I picked the beef carpaccio and rucola salad version, which can either come in 8″ or 12″ portions.
Half-expecting the beef to be raw and tasteless, the carpaccio was surprisingly good, slightly smoky, thinly-sliced and a tad briny in flavour. Of course, eating them with the overpowering taste of the rucola (rocket) leaves somehow tampered the sweetness of the beef, plus the strong flavour of the mozzarella cheese-flakes (not entirely melted) may put off non-cheese lovers. But not me. Fortunately, the pizza dough was good enough, with thin crust and light as pizzas should be.

Chicken … Set. (RM14.90) + Iced Lemon Tea

OK. I forgot the set of the day. It was some random chicken thigh served with mashed potatoes and mushrooms, and various vegetables. And a sourish yet appetizing tomato-based sauce. Very much alike bolognese, yet more flavourful. Most importantly, the chicken meat was tender, and went really well with the tangy sauce.
The meal was slightly above average, albeit the “sneezy” waitress (it was obvious she was down with a bad cold). Price-wise, not really cheap, yet not overly exorbitant. The lunch sets are value-for-money, for sure. And parking’s a breeze at Jaya One.
Location : SANTINI @ JAYA ONE, 3-G, Block M Jaya One, No 72A, Jalan Universiti, 46200 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
Tel No : 603-7957 8866/36.
Here’s to a cheery week ahead ….. !!!! =P

Yut Kee @ Jln Dang Wangi – 80 Years and Counting …

December 3, 2008 | 5,649 views

80 Years of Legacy … that has gotta account for something, right?

Yut Kee (YK, for short) – Possibly one of the most raved/blogged about Chinese cafe/restaurant in KL
Google Yut Kee … or add another term, Roti Babi, and you may find so many links your head’ll spin. A hotspot for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and tea time, the restaurant’ may occupies ONLY one corner shoplot on Jln Dang Wangi, a short distance from Jln Tuanku Abdul Rahman and SOGO shopping centre in Kuala Lumpur.
Hainanese Tea (RM1.70) and Coffee (RM1.30)
Being another Hainanese outlet, the shop’s manned by Jack Lee (no, not JET … though the phonetic resemblance’s uncanny) the son of the original proprietor of YK’s.
And branded a Hainanese myself, I’ve always taken pride in my ancestors’ talent and fame in the F&B segment, particularly the Pork Chop, the chicken rice, the milk tea and coffee …. everything Hainanese.

Having breakfast here on a Sunday morning = Patience-in-Testing, yet a Jolly Good Time
The crowd was intimidating at first glance, rendering 1st timers (like me) shaking in our boots while driving by. But after parking the car haphazardly along ‘bahu jalan’ (it was a Sunday, after all, thus we’re KINGS), we marched to the entrance of YK‘s, and the lady boss signalled for us to move in instantly. She’s the usherer, of sorts. Pairing strangers on the same table utilizing simple Maths, and in return the patrons make friends (not war) while yakking over a good ol’ cuppa Hainanese coffee.
Btw, the coffee’s aromatic, strong enough for the morning, and smooth. The same can’t be said about the milk tea though.
Lum Mee @ RM6.50
Serving noodles, Western fare, toasts and such, and some other light snacks, the pricing in Yut Kee may be an eye-opener of sorts. A tad higher than your average kopitiam (NOT the commercialized, pricier option), but of course, let’s not compare an apple to an orange. Erm, wrong philosophy here?
Their Lum Mee’s gaining fans all over, and it’s easy to see why. Thick yellow noodles (or Tai Lok Meen in Cantonese) served in a rather light and simple sauce. My impression of Lum Mee has perpetuated around thick noodles cooked in very dark and un-savoury looking gravy.
With prawns, crabmeat and eggs thrown in, garnished with fried shallots and red chillies, the price may be justified by the portion, as where else can you get a Lum Mee with crabmeat?! But tastewise, I’m not brain-washed to be a fan, YET. And the sambal belacan with lime is a perfect companion to spice up the otherwise rather bland plate of noodles.
Roti Babi @ RM7.50
But this, my friend …. is a MUST-TRY on my list! Roti Babi (aka Fried Pork Bun?) is one of their most popular/ordered item, alongside the pork and chicken chops. Though shockingly doubling the price of Roti Babi in Penang, the portion and fillings you get is different on an entirely different level.
The bread is deep-fried with eggs, much akin to French toast, and filled with lots of shredded pork meat, Chinese wax sausages, crabmeat (again making another appearance … reminding me of M.Night Shyamalan in the movies he directed. Popping up un-necessarily) and sweet, caramelized onions.
Generously sprinkle some Lea & Perrins’ Worchestershire sauce, and savour the delicious combination of flavour, punctuated by the slightly sour, sweet and saltish sauce. Definitely one for the pork-lovers, and a rather heavy breakfast for one. 🙂

Homemade Kaya Roll (RM0.80/pc)

Throughout our chomping-cum-oogling session at Yut Kee, we bore witness to the churning out of many Kaya rolls and butter cakes, an indication of how popular their confectioneries are. People from all over were buying them back in bulk, and I was curious on how good their cakes really are.

Feeling rather full from the SECOND breakfast of the day, (this was right after the Sarawak Laksa session) the cake was a less-than-feasible option. Hence I went for the kaya roll, a much-beloved dessert/snack of mine.

The fragrance, sweetness and richness of the kaya was spot-on. Sandwiched between layers of ‘Kai Dan Kou’ (egg cake), the slice was delightful, and perfect as a snack for tea break. One full roll for RM8.

The overall experience proved to be a positive one; the service was prompt and the staff were friendly and helpful. Eating at Yut Kee brought back a sense of nostalgia, as if we travelled back in time and ate amongst the ancestral citizens in a quaint, little coffee shop.

Location : YUT KEE @ 35, Jalan Dang Wangi, 50100 Kuala Lumpur. Tel No : 603-2698 8108. Opens everyday except Monday, from 8.00 am til 5.00 pm.

Rawang’s Famous Steamed Tilapia Wantan Mee

December 2, 2008 | 19,438 views
Rawang has always been perceived as an industrial area, a small town with dirt, dust, and debris (hey, 3D’s!) and with a KTM station. Oh, and the last town before reaching KL, as when we were kids, we used to anticipate with glee and much anxiety before the sight of skyscrapers greeted us in their shiny armour …. aka Welcome to the (Concrete) Jungle !!!
And Rawang town was somewhat of a Happy Ending … or something.

With 8TV’s Ho Chak’s logo sticker emblazed on the walls, and patrons from all over, the rather secluded restaurant holds its ground amidst the rapid development of Rawang
Locating this restaurant was not too hard, with directions from the rather reliable Food Guide. Instead, I was surprised we managed to reach this place without much hassle or jam.
In the middle of a residential area in Kampong Dato Lee Kim Sai, the restaurant has ONLY Chinese characters, which I’m of course, much-illiterate to. Named Restoran Tang Wan Cheng, the seating area may not be sufficient for a large crowd, with roughly 10 tables placed within the compartment of the house.
Fried Stuffed Mantou with Meat Paste (RM1 each)
To start off with, we ordered some fried mantou (buns) with meat stuffings, an awkward combination, considering the mantou was chocolate/coffee-flavoured and the stuffings was made from minced pork, giving a contrasting flavour of sweet and savoury, deep-fried until the outer crust was crispy, and the filling’s delicious when dipped into the sweet chilli sauce. Minor gripe though, they could’ve been more generous with the fillings. But a good snack as a prelude of things to come.
To wash everything down, the lady recommended their house special drink, chrysanthemum tea with grass jelly (cincau). Such simple combination, yet was a soothing and sweet herbal drink for the parched throats.

Steamed ‘Nai Pak’ (Radish?) with Fried Small Anchovies (RM6)
The vegetables came highly recommended, not only by the proprietress (I presumed), but tried-and-tested by Motormouth. =P
Very sweet, and juicy (yup, sounds like a fruit, yet it’s a vege I’m talkin bout), the ingenious method of cooking managed to preserve the original flavour and sweetness of the radish, and biting into the coarsely-cut chunks of fibre-goodness was pure bliss. I’ve learnt to appreciate such a simple dish. I’m amazed. Or maybe …..
I must be growing old.

Fei Zhou Yu (Tilapia) steamed with Wantan Noodles (RM2.80/100g)
But the STAR of the evening had to be their most raved about dish, the steamed tilapia with wantan noodles. Pick from a choice of 3 gravy, either steamed with ginger, or “Cheong Ching” (spicy/savoury sauce), or another with simple soy sauce.
The lady recommended the 1st choice, as the fish steamed with lots of ginger was the most popular, at least for newcomers. And the dish did not disappoint at all, save for those who are allergic (doubtful) or tend to stay away from ginger …. like the love-hate relationship I’m having with lemongrass. =P
Their signature bouncy, springy, QQ egg noodles
The noodles was excellent, without alkaline taste, and lightly laden with pepper, and garnished with chopped scallions and julienned carrots. But when steamed together with the fish, the noodles absorbed much of the light yet pungent/fiery sauce, owing its numbingly-tingling taste to the abundance of ginger used in this dish.
Ginger’s known to be a good carminative, perfect to calm that dyspepsic gut, but bear in mind the flatulent-finale. LOL.
The tilapia may be a ‘poor man’s fish’ to most, but the freshness of the fish shone through, with absolutely no hint of fishiness, or unpleasant ‘muddy‘ taste commonly lamented when it comes to freshwater fishes. The tender and sweet flesh practically fell off the bones, and the fish at 650gm was more than enough for two. And that seemed to be the smallest available.

Walloped before I rmbred to snap. Whoopsie.

We were mighty full after the whole ordeal. Ravaging, scavenging and wrestling for the best parts of the fish.

And the complimentary dessert of simple and very sweet orange could not have come at a better time. No fancy jellies/puddings, nor souffle or cheese platter, for sure. But some fibre + that overdosage of ginger = A stinkin’ good time, y’all !!!

Look for this board. That was the only visible sign from afar this restaurant.
Location : RESTORAN TANG WAN CHENG @ No E-13, Jalan LKS 5, Kampong Dato Lee Kim Sai, 48000 Rawang, Selangor. Tel No : 603-6091 8671. H/P : 6012- 304 5671.
Got MAP !!!
But better yet, let me explain the directions a little ….
Exiting Rawang toll, turn right towards Rawang town’s direction. Go straight for a while, until passing by KTM Komuter railways beneath you, and you’ll reach a crossroad. Rawang town centre’s on your left. But turn right instead, and go straight until you see a Shell petrol station on your right. The small road leading to Kampong Dato Lee Kim Sai is in fact, right after the Shell station. But you’ve gotta make a U-turn further down the main road, at the traffic lights.

Nam Chun @ Lucky Garden, Bangsar – Perk YOUR Morning Up with a bowl of Sarawak Laksa

December 1, 2008 | 2,551 views

Here’s something to tantalize that tastebuds, early on a Monday morning …..

By now, probably needs no introduction …. THAT famous Sarawak Laksa stall in Lucky Garden, anyone?

Watched it on TV. Read this from blogs aeons ago. And finally dragged myself over for a taste of … well, possibly the closest one can get to the REAL thing.

Complimentary (compulsory’s more like it) condiments of pungent sambal and lime

Swimming in that not-too-thick gravy, a bowl at RM5 won’t puncture a hole in your pocket …

Thicker vermicelli was used, and the portion was more than sufficient for breakfast. The broth was good, thick yet not overly rich, with strong hints of “santan” (coconut laksa), reminiscing of curry laksa. Yet it was not spicy at all, and even subtly sweet. Squeeze that half of lime, and the additional tangy flavour will pique that tastebuds of yours. The accompanying 3 medium-sized prawns, shredded chicken meat, and bean sprouts were the usual suspects, but paired perfectly.
Sadly they were not serving abacus seeds (suan pan zi) that morning. Not sure they serve them anymore though, as I did not bother to ask. And another funny thing was, the service was so prompt (she does hire 3-4 workers to assist her though), by the time I reached my seats, the guy was in fact tailing me throughout. =P

Dry Wantan Noodle with Char Siew (RM4)

The other stalls around were running at full steam as well, particularly a Char Kuey Teow stall named Steve’s, a pork mee/fish head noodles stall, a chicken rice stall, and this wantan noodle stall. The stretch of glistening, caramelized and dark Char Siew (marinated BBQ pork) hanging on for dear life was sooooo tempting. And the plate of soy sauce+dark soy sauce tossed springy egg noodles, with generous serving of thinly-sliced Char Siew was a notch better than the average wantan mee.

Let’s hope the business above doesn’t involve hanky-panky… =P

More on KL food in later posts …. I’m out.
Location : Nam Chun @ 2-4, Lorong Ara Kiri, Lucky Garden, Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur.
Got MAP !!!
Those who’ve tasted that fiery (not really …) concoction sometime in the olden days :

Roasted Duck and Such @ Hong Kong Restaurant … in Ipoh?

November 28, 2008 | 2,622 views

Sinful piece of roasted duck, with thin, crisp skin, albeit slightly gamey flavour

OK, a very short post for the weekend. FRIDAY doesn’t come around often ya know…. 😉

HONG KONG in Malaysia ….
There’s this REALLY good roasted duck, oil chicken (a direct translation I suppose), and various roasted meats served in a restaurant in Tasek, Ipoh. More often than not, the place would be swarmed by locals and tourists alike, for the years of legacy (walk in and you’ll notice the sublime and ancient ambience).

Herbal drinks – Boiled IN-House, and changes everyday
To wash off all the grease, oil, and guilt (hehe) you can opt for their ‘leung sui’ or herbal drinks. The ‘Yeung Sam Sou’ was particularly bitter on the day we went. So much that Mr Z could not finish his without squirming in his seat.
Stir-fried long beans with sambal
Other than satisfying your carnivorous cravings, there are various other side dishes, mostly vegetables and such, to accompany your mains. Still remember they serve a mean “Mui Choy” (preserved vegetables?) with Pork, costing RM10 per bowl, but was darn good. Very thick and dark sauces, intimidating yet pleasantly delectable. But on certain days only I think …
The usual chilli sauce and ‘hoi sin’ sauce for the duck

A platter of artery-clogging indulgences yet sumptuous serving of meats – Crispy Roasted Duck and Deep-fried Pork with ‘Nam Yue’

The duck’s skin was crispy, the layer of fat was mostly roasted away. The meat was tender, but this time around rather gamey and strong in flavour. The batter-fried pork has always been a staple of mine; something which can’t be easily found in other similar restaurants. Coated with batter, marinated with ‘Nam Yue’ (translation?), it can be a light snack (OK, as light as I’d portrayed them to be) on its own.
Not exactly cheap, as the platter of meat was about RM18, the greens about RM5, and drinks RM2. Still reasonable, but a simple lunch here may cost RM10 per pax.
Location : KEDAI HONG KONG @ 638-640, Jln Kuala Kangsar, Ipoh, Perak. This is located in Tasek, on the main road of Jln Kuala Kangsar leading to Chemor, and Sg Siput.
No MAP yet, sorry …. =P

Another One of Those Temptations – Mee Kari Ipoh Garden

November 26, 2008 | 3,775 views
Another feather in the cap. Another chapter in the “Ipoh’s Famous Curry Noodles” saga, after a looooooooong hiatus. (Here’s Part One and Part Two, for those who’ve yet to be poisoned!)

Mee Kari Ipoh Garden …. in Pasir Putih?!!! *_*

This happened some time ago. When we have yet to travel to Betong, it seems. However, this outlet is rather new, opened sometime in the beginning of the year. Or that’s what my brain had me thinking. OK, I kinda forgot all the tiny details. And some major ones as well, like… the ADDRESS, PRICE and such. Minor setbacks, no? Sorry lor ….. =)

Notice the COCKLES piling on top of each other?!!! Geez …. I’m so near I could stretch my itchy hands and stole some right away!
The shop’s new. But the name isn’t. That’s why some may scratch their heads wondering why a curry mee restaurant in Pasir Putih is named Mee Kari Ipoh Garden, when Ipoh Garden’s a good 10km away! This one is a branch of the famous curry noodles at Aneka Selera, or Tung Koo Thing in Ipoh Garden. Struck a chord?
Sinful bowl of curry noodles
This one managed to impress, somewhere in the Top 5, or even Top 3 in my list. Of course, my favourite Nam Chau comes 1st. The luscious santan (coconut milk) was literally poured into the bowl of orange-tinged gravy, resulting in a rich and slightly spicy mouth-watering concoction, complete with the usual chicken, prawns, cockles and such.
Dry Curry Noodles … MY preferred version.
I opt for the dry curry, routinely. Somehow the thicker consistency of the gravy, paired with soy sauce and dark soy sauce was deadlier than the wet-ter sibling. But of course, sloppy people (like yours truly) must practise extra caution when slurping their orgasmic fixes, as the combination of BLACK, ORANGE and RED gravies on one’s spotless shirt may not sound appealing.
Rojak …. for light eaters. Or greedy ones who’s not easily satiated with their bowls of curry mee
They do serve some other variety of noodles, rice and even nasi lemak, I think. In case you can’t spot their signature item, which btw, is printed BIG & BOLD on their signboard, pasted on the walls surrounding you, AND practically ordered by every single table in the premise. Ahem.
Oh, the Rojak is worth a try too. The thick and sweet shrimp paste with abundance of chopped peanuts goes REALLY well with the freshly cut fruits. But do remember to order at least a dozen or so (OK, at least two pcs) of their crispy shrimp crackers. Lovely combination. On most days, I eat only the crackers with the rojak sauce.
Location : MEE KARI IPOH GARDEN @ 209-211, Jalan Pasir Putih, 31650 Ipoh, Perak. Got MAP !!! (albeit a shabby one … correct me if I’m wrong)
Specifically, the shop is near to SMK Jalan Pasir Putih, a secondary school on Jalan Pasir Puteh. Same row with Maybank of Pasir Puteh branch. Feel free to ask for directions.

Truely American Food @ David’s Diner, Greentown, Ipoh

November 25, 2008 | 15,486 views
You know sometimes, when you least expect a place to be special, the food to be marvelous, and the service to be impeccable, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to discover a hidden gem, unearthed for all to savour and share its glory?
Freshly-opened for business a day before … David’s Diner, a restaurant serving “TRUELY AMERICAN FOOD”…. or so they claim.
But inevitably, or in reciprocal, when you put too much hope in an eatery, brimming with fresh concept and spanking menu, you’re bound to be slightly, or sorely disappointed. One time or the other. Sigh …..

The ambience sets the mood for a no-frills, American fare commonly seen in diners in the movies, complete with mirrors and artificial bricks on the wall. But of course, Kimball sauces instead of Heinz or a good ol smoky BBQ sauce was a thorn in the flesh …?

Recently opened … in fact, they started business yesterday, David’s Diner managed to grab our attention with its cool signboard, proudly proclaiming their brand of “True American food.” And when we went for another round of Nasi Vanggey yesterday for lunch, we realised David’s Diner was opened for business, and offering FREE breakfast on opening day. Shucks … we missed. But pledging to come one day, we succeeded in doing so today.


Garden Salad

The place was rather packed during lunch, a positive sign of good things to come? The owner is an Indian guy,married to an American lady, and both returned to Malaysia to open this outlet. With so much American influence, one can’t help but anticipate in glee for some good ol’ American fare.
But sadly, that was not the case. First off, the service was horrendous. Only 2 waiters managing the lunch crowd, plus the countless amateurish mistakes made by those newcomers had some other patrons raging in their seats. And the half hour wait for our food was somewhat distressing, as one of us is strictly bound to the hospital’s one hour break ruling.


Italian Chicken Burger Set (RM9.90)

But poor service can be easily forgiven, as staff training takes time, and customer service needs experience. We were not daunted by the many ‘black faces’ occupying the tables all around us, as I hoped (and prayed) that the food would somehow excelled in response to the shortcomings, proportionate to the longer-than-average wait.
But reality bit me in the a$$ … HARD. Pricing-wise, all the items are reasonably-priced, with most burger sets below RM10, and the pasta, chops, Mexican Tacos and Burritos, etc will not burn a hole in the pocket. Most mains come with either a soup or a salad, and 2 side dishes of your choice. And credits must be given where they’re due, the side dishes list is an honorable 15 items, at least. From the potatoes (mashed, fries, roasted and baked!) to the salads and soups, and mac+cheese and beans+franks, you’ll have fun picking 2 of your preference.

Meatball Spaghetti (RM13.90) with Salad and Garlic Bread

Nan’s Italian Burger was a miniature version of TGIF’s, or Chili’s grander version. Even smaller than your average Big Mac or Whopper. OK, EVEN smaller than a McD’s Chicken Burger. Seriously. But size does not matter, does it?
The meat patty (chicken or beef) was marinated well, fortunately, with hints of herbs and whatnots (I got a mere small sliver for sampling) and not too dry. But the accompanying buns were measly, generic burger buns WITHOUT toasted sesame that you can easily purchase in bulk from your favourite hypermarket. In short, a Ramlee burger type of buns. The crinkle-cut fries were NOT crispy, and slighty soft.
The spaghetti was far from al dente, soggy and drenched with tomato puree. The flavoursome meatballs and melted cheese saved the dish somewhat, yet the tough garlic bread was nothing amazing. (TallGal’s comments, not mine as I sampled few strands of the pasta and sulked).

Popcorn Shrimps (RM15.90)

Dipping the shrimp into the sour salad dressing for some taste …. Notice how small the shrimp is?

My Popcorn Shrimp (12 pcs of S-sized shrimps) came on a big platter. Mostly occupied by the baked potato and the salad. The 12 pcs of shrimps were sitting in one corner, battered and deep-fried. Yup, they were fresh and succulent, but this is NOT a good choice for big eaters, as you can basically finish all the shrimps in two spoonfuls.

Baked Potato

Fortunately, for some carbo-boost, they have potatoes cooked in every way imaginable. I chose a baked one, and some roasted ones. Since their Macaroni and cheese was out-of-stock. Yup, heard that right. Only knew bout this AFTER I’ve finished my main.
The baked potato was served with very little sour cream, and the potato tasted mysteriously like sweet potato. The four of us could not intepret the REAL nature of the potato. Was it a sweet one? Or the usual one? Hmmm ….

Italian Roasted Potatoes

As replacement for my initial order of Mac+Cheese, I picked the Italian roasted potatoes, as even the Mexican Rice was not served this afternoon. The roasted potatoes, lightly seasoned, were good. Though a bit over-carbo for lunch, I just munched my way through it all.
And ended up feeling darn sleepy for the remaining 3 hours until the magical 5pm.
Will I return for another round of TRUELY AMERICAN FOOD? Hmmm …. Maybe sometime down the line. But not so soon, not before they sort out their teething problems, less-than-stellar service and quality of the food. And service charge’s at 10%. Go on and have a try, I’d like to hear some comments from you guys.
