Motormouth From Ipoh – Asian Food & Travel Blog

Unlike the OTHER more famous and commercialized BIG Breakfast from McD, the ones at Departure Lounge are REALLY satisfying and customizable; from 3 to 5 to 7 items (RM8.90, RM11.90, RM13.90) though do NOT come with a complimentary cup of coffee.

SUNDAY~!!!! In a flash. Yet I am revelling in Every. Single. Second of It. Can’t blame me for trying to squeeze every moment since this weekend’s been LOOOOOOONNNNGGG overdue.

Thus, what better way to kickstart a lovely Sunday with a hearty breakfast (or brunch, as I know most of you prefer to stay in bed and wake up much later than usual …), than at Departure Lounge; a place that serves all day breakfasts in Damansara Uptown. They first started in Solaris Mont Kiara, but that’s way off for me so Uptown’s the way to go.

If you’re screaming and running away in agony from the sight of fresh, healthy greens, then SHAME on you!

The dust has settled, after some serious bouts of bingeing. First it was Christmas, then the New Year beckoned with more merry-making, then Chinese New Year came and left a trail of devastation …. piling on the unsightly pounds where the sun doesn’t shine. No thanks to the endless supplies of new year cookies, rounds of ‘Lou Sang’ and then there would be the senseless nights of mahjong + groundnuts + beer.

Intoxicating ensemble of sins and gluttony.

Spicy Salad – Look at the abundance of sunflower seeds!

But then again, salvation comes at the right moment. Salad Bar in Damansara Uptown has actually been around for one year; almost exactly. This charming, no-frills outlet prides on their creation of colourful and tasty salads without compromising on the flavours and of course, nutrition. So much so that we found our way back again and again after the initial visit ….. Read the rest of this entry »

Nasi Lemak (literally translated to FAT/OILY rice, but in reality the term came from the liberal use of coconut milk in the rice; hence the rich, sinful and aromatic taste) @ Village Park, Damansara Uptown.

Since I got ‘sounded’ for being tooooooooooooooooooooo long-winded recently (hehe), I’ll cut this post to as short as possible. So brief you can’t even believe your eyes. Yes, and you’d feel that you’ll be craving for more words of wisdoms/rants/incoherent ramblings/nonsense from Motormouth. 🙂

Okay, that’s enough. Let’s read about how Village Park; THE king of all Nasi Lemak in Klang Valley (they got the ex-PM as one of their fans, AND voted best nasi lemak twice in a row!) fared in my books ……. Read the rest of this entry »

If he says wanna chop you into 18 pieces, would you have run or still stand around and snap? 🙂

Okay, since we were on yong tau foo, fish ball noodles and the gang, today let’s see some wantan mee for a change. And given the fact that KL’s populated by floggers (food bloggers, not the ones in prison), bloggers, vloggers (video bloggers?), and logheads (hehe, everywhere also got …), getting a breakfast-brunch-lunch-dinner-etc partner ain’t exactly hard.

Nor rocket science. Just ask, and guaranteed someone somewhere will have an idea on where to eat, what’s new and chic, as well as what NOT to eat.

Plain Jane of So Bland? Not really. For sometimes, the simplest works best. Trust Koon Kee Wantan Mee to bring back the flavours of the yesteryear’s ….

And so, Ken of Foodpoi became my victim one fine morning. Hahaha …. though you can’t say that you’re not privileged (ahem, cannot ah?) to be doing good deeds like bringing Motormouth around for food in KL, given the fact that I’m new and looking for quality street foods in KL can be categorized into an Amazing Race-impossible road block. 🙂

Let’s read up on why this certain Koon Kee in Damansara Uptown is far better than that other Koon Kee on Petaling Street …… Read the rest of this entry »
