南洋冰室 NanYang Cafe at Cheras Traders Square

NanYang Cafe is a local culinary brand who offers fusion interpretation of Nanyang delicacies.

You may have to queue for a table during lunch hours as hungry customers come about for their signature favourites such as Hong Kong Style Wanton Noodles, Freshly Baked Polo Bun, Nanyang Coffee & Tea.

Prawns & Wonton with Noodles in Soup (RM 11.90)

Their springy noodles and silky juicy prawn wontons rest in a hearty bowl of hot aromatic broth had indeed gained their recognition.

Would definitely recommend this dish.👍

Special Pork Knuckle in Preserved Bean Sauce with Tossed Noodles (RM 12.90)

If you’re looking for something a little more heavier, you should give this a try.

For its price and generous portion of pork knuckle offered, it was definitely worth it. It was really well marinated and almost melt to mouth texture.

Lettuce with Oyster Sauce (RM 7.90)

Beautifully blanched but glad the oyster sauce wasn’t mixed into the lettuce because it was ridiculously salty!

Signature Jumbo Toast with Ice Cream (RM 16.80)

Got to admit the toast was delicious and lightly buttered. It’s definitely not a dessert for 2 but for a 3 – 4 pax.

Would’ve been better if there’s an additional scoop of ice cream so it wouldn’t be too dry. Not recommended and worth the value.🙅‍♀️

I would strongly recommend to go for the freshly baked breads instead. It was definitely a lot more satisfying than the Jumbo Toast we had.

Pineapple Bun with Butter (RM 4/each)

HK street food cravings satisfied!💕 I love how they placed a thick slice of butter on top of an ice cube. It’s really soft and fluffy!

If the crust on the bun was crunchy crumbly sweet cookie-like it would’ve made is so much better. Definitely my favorite and to-go-for at this establishment.

Pumpkin & Cheese Bun (RM 4/each)

Same texture as the Pineapple Bun except this one has cream cheese fillings.

Nanyang Milk Tea (RM 4.90)

A hot cup of milk tea to pair with some breads. It tastes exactly like a ‘Teh Tarik’. Looks like one too!

It’s a decent place to have your HK cravings fixed and for its value. Would definitely drop by again for their Pineapple Bun!

Burger & Lobster Malaysia at SkyAvenue, Genting Highlands

44023062_10216231760402219_8062145289563144192_n

The guys who set about making their dream a reality in London is now available in Malaysia! I haven’t been to Genting Highlands for a pretty long time and I was pretty excited on trying what’s good in this restaurant after all the hype.

Chilli Lobster served with Signature Brioche – RM 165

They’re serving fresh Canadian lobster steamed or grilled to our preference with a choice of clarified butter or B&L’s famous lemon & garlic butter.

The sauce was delicious with just the right amount of heat but it was a missed that the lobster was slightly overcooked. We had to order another round of those fluffy buttery brioche to absorb every last drip of the sauce.

43952477_10216231763642300_3226960271247409152_n
The B&L Burger (168g) – RM 130

The B&L Burger, a combination of beef and lobster meat, topped with lettuce and Terragon & Truffle sauce.

Almost everything about this was good! Buns were fluffy and beautifully toasted, lobster was nice and firm however the patty was a little dry but well seasoned. One thing about this burger was the truffle sauce as it gave an extra oomph.

43880548_10216231761922257_5144460274656346112_n

South Carolina Tea – RM28

Alongside we ordered some cocktails as well. Both were pretty refreshing, but I personally preferred the South Carolina Tea because it wasn’t gassy.

44052378_10216231761002234_2936957048560025600_n

The kitchen is constantly flying out with orders, I hope they’re able to maintain a consistency to it. Overall it was a great dining experience, the service crew was quite attentive and friendly as well.

PNP Restaurant – Japanese Cuisine Artistry at Faber Imperial Court

A symphony of art, culture & epicurean delights.

Jyo Nigiri-zushi 7 Shu – 7 Types of Special Hand-made Sushi (RM 110)

People and People (PNP) offers traditional Japanese carefully prepared by a renowned chef to transform each dish with creative flair in his choice of ingredients and selective cuts of the finest produce. The spiritual essence of traditional Japanese cuisine is fully preserved yet enhanced with his maestro touch.

Personally I’m never a huge fan of eating raw fish and seafood but I was convinced by the chef’s professionalism and food quality to give a try. Needless to say I helped myself with a few pieces and indulged it. One of the nigiri sushi I’ve got to highlight is the soyu maguro, tuna marinated overnight in soy sauce giving it a whole different level.

Take Sashimi 5 Shu – 5 Types of Fresh Raw Fish (RM 110)

The chef also incorporate aesthetic elements of arrangement and presentation as practiced in Ikebana (Art of flower arrangement) to produce a 5-Star presentation.

Ultimately, guests will revel in a dining experience that is a feast fit for a king. I mean, how often do you see sushi beautifully plated like that?😍😍

43360924_10216184263174818_7564648099407200256_n
Salmon Aburi Maki – Torched Salmon Roll (RM 38)

This was one of the few memorable dishes I had throughout dining here, I really enjoyed the lightly charred flavors on the salmon. Highly recommended!💖

43378488_10216184258854710_6322345499282112512_n
Kani Chawan Mushi – Crab Steamed Egg Custard (RM 18)

Generous amount of crab meat topped on the creamy egg custard. The crab meat was simply sensational and barely rubbery. I could help myself with another one or two!

43245675_10216184264894861_962915359772377088_n
Karai Kasen Udon – Spicy Seafood Udon Thick Wheat Noodles (RM 35)

Perfect dish to warm your insides! Obsess with the chewy udon noodles soaked in the rich flavorful spicy broth. It wasn’t too spicy for me, so I had it all bottoms up.😋 Everything about this dish was so spectacular, another highly recommended dish.🍜

43485825_10216184267174918_4716750165552136192_n
Kurogama Ice – Black Sesame Ice Cream (RM 12)

Green tea ice cream is overrated and almost everywhere but finding REALLY GOOD black sesame ice cream is tougher. Nutty richness of the black sesame was intensely decadent. It wasn’t too sweet and the red bean paste complemented the ice cream admirably.

43510926_10216184266134892_2507519336105639936_n
Yuzu Sorbet – Citrus Fruit Sorbet (RM 12)

Simply refreshing and delightful yuzu sorbet that refreshes the palate after a heavy meal. It was so irresistibly tasty to have with citrusy-floral essence of the fruit.

43439924_10216184266734907_5050370962973786112_n
Mochi Ice – Japanese Mochi Ice Cream (RM 15)

Soft chewy mochi bursting with black sesame ice cream inside! If you’d like to have black sesame with some texture then you should totally give this a try.

43404786_10216184267494926_7263702992266723328_n
Chi-zu Stikku Ice – Cheese Stick Ice Cream (RM 18)

By far my favorite dessert here! Thinly shelled cheesy-licious ice cream. It was like having cheesecake in one bite: creamy, rich and savory.❤

At PNP Japanese Cuisine Artistry, they elevate the joy of fine Japanese dining to new heights of passion with a creative approach. Visually, the dishes will be a feast for the eyes and food for the soul.

Psst! There will be an exclusive group of traditional Japanese dancers who will provide twice nightly performances on weekends. This is the first restaurant in Malaysia to host this!

Sen Kee Satay 仙记沙爹 at Desa Aman Puri

39497750_10215823896845885_1217382259275857920_n

Sen Kee Satay has been operating since 1976 (42 years old) now along with Uncle Yap‘s daughter and grandson who’s currently the 3rd generation running the stall. It all started when Uncle Yap used to sell chicken and ducks at a local market.

39453816_10215823902966038_6031645924957093888_n

He was also the poultry supplier for a satay stall opened by an Indonesian named Omar where he then discreetly learned how to make his own satay knowing this could help him during the economic bad phase.

“Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence!” – Abigail Adams

39454626_10215823902286021_4154915168460996608_n

There weren’t many Chinese vendors who sells satay back in those days and oh, one skewer only cost 0.25 cents back then! But as there were getting more and more vendors popping about, Uncle Yap needs to come up with a unique selling point for his stall.

39557759_10215823904086066_6805824302730969088_n

It sparks him when someone asked him “Why have you not thought of selling duck satay?” Though it was a rather hard protein to cope with, Uncle Yap didn’t gave up on trying different types of duck and marination to retain its moisture and getting rid of its gamey flavors.

39504489_10215823900325972_6706828867086057472_n
Cucumbers & Onions Add-on (RM1.50)
39453448_10215823899085941_5463345816674500608_n
Satay Sauce (RM11/500gm, RM22/kg)

Their peanut sauce wasn’t like the ones we often had topped with sambal. The peanuts were still carefully toasted by wok to give a touch of ‘wok hei’.

13-15 kgs of the sauce was prepared daily as he’d often get regulars (especially vegetarians) who’d just come for the sauce while having it with the sliced onions and cucumbers! Unfortunately they don’t offer ketupat rice cakes here.

39674651_10215823900925987_4943484396800835584_n
Duck Satay (RM1.50/skewer)

Uncle Yap wasn’t jesting about how he was able to retain the moisture without even a tang of gameyness in the duck satay. It was absolutely pleasurable just having it by its own as well!

39583867_10215823899685956_9143969082373046272_n
Chicken Satay (RM1/skewer)

Their chicken satay was pretty good and well marinated with just the right amount of char. Plain juicy lean meat without any chicken skin skewered in between.

39468502_10215823902566028_3337805375633096704_n

39408998_10215823904326072_4879893450318675968_n

Other than the Chicken & Duck Satay I’ve ordered, there’s Pork & Lamb Satay as well. Sorry, no beef.

Every night there would be at least 500 skewers sold but on the weekends it could go up to 1000 skewersYou’ve got to be there earlier to avoid the long wait.

Rasa Utara at Berjaya Times Square

The Northern fare Rasa Utara is celebrating its 34th year of business, and currently the outlet operating in Berjaya Times Square aims to serve the best of Northern inspired cuisines.

Ironic enough, throughout my studies in this building I’ve never thought of walking into this restaurant before as it was a little beyond the ‘student budget’ and most of my course mates would often prefer Western cuisines.

37308824_10215579063405202_8875041191192690688_n
Spicy Chicken Chicken – RM18.80

The fried chicken was deep-fried to golden perfection and unbelievably juicy hot with crisp cracklingly flavorful skin though it wasn’t thickly coated with batter. This would go so well with a plate of Nasi Jagung.

37248985_10215579068805337_776964918195781632_n
Legendary Chicken Fried Chicken – RM18.80

If you love your food with some good amount of heat in it, this signature chicken dish with their homemade stir-fried chili paste will blow your mind. Though fried chicken was a little dry but you’ll find yourself reaching for spoons after spoons of their chili paste.

37307338_10215579064085219_4797524168084029440_n
Spicy Acid Fish – RM18.80

Mouth-watering deliciousness, this spicy and tangy Malaysian fish dish that is sure to whet your appetite. I love the right amount of tang in the curry, making it so appetizing.

37265750_10215579066765286_1970279752702885888_n
Dancing Fish – RM38.80

Rasa Utara’s signature dish, the fish was well marinated with herbs and spices then deep-fried to crisp perfection. Having the fish by itself without needing any condiments to enhance its flavors although it is to paired with their signature blend of caramilised sweet soy sauce and sambal ‘nuclear’ (hot sambal) for a full and flavourful taste.

37098443_10215579064405227_7576134027367677952_n
Captain Squid Squid – RM25.80

Squid stuffed with minced chicken and potato, deep fried and served with their special Kapitan sauce. The squid texture was surprisingly wasn’t rubbery and the stuffings were simply delightful. Just having the batter on its own was addicting. Kapitan sauce was creamy in texture with a rich coconut milk aftertaste.

37245641_10215579067125295_7061671282600837120_n
Shrimp Sambal Petai – RM35.80

I’ve got to admit that sambal, prawn and petai are meant to be together! Every bite of this dish was bursting with flavors. You’d get that nice nutty crunch of petai, really fresh  prawns and sambal with just the right amount of heat. I’d highly recommended having this dish!

37213225_10215579067565306_4994441778586189824_n
Eggplant Fried Egg – RM12.80

Be sure to standby plenty of rice when you’re having these eggplants generously smothered with sambal! This was so addicting I could almost have this all by myself.

37223520_10215579068045318_4620573315080126464_n
Fatty Flesh – RM12.80

Let’s be frank, almost anything ‘masak lemak’ will taste good.😂 The fern shoots were cooked till nice and soft while the gravy wasn’t too heavy and has wonderful aromas of the coconut milk.

37224903_10215579068405327_2480323096381227008_n
North Tail Soup – RM28.80

The soup was simply earthy, meaty, warm and comforting with the amazing bursting flavors from varietal of local spices. This is a definite MUST-ORDER soup when you’re dining here.

37244595_10215579064725235_2587068718907392000_n
Corn Rice – RM3.80

Instead of having plain rice, you’d get a wonderful touch of sweetness and juicy crunch as you enjoy it with some dishes.

37238294_10215579065285249_8856593550742126592_n
Mi Kari Udang – RM15.80

The curry was so compelling! You’d catching yourself devouring into this humble bowl of noodles in no time. Look at the size of that prawn!

37339331_10215579063845213_410786761136930816_n
My Soto – RM13.80

Mee soto ayam is one my favourite dishes. Clear flavorsome chicken broth with rice cakes served with unselfish amount of shredded chicken. Perfect dish to have on a cold rainy day.

37304900_10215579062525180_2091587723839143936_n
Sago Gula Melaka – RM6.80

This chilled dessert is so refreshing and comforting at the same time after a spicy meal. It was just at the right soft but chewy texture and perfect balance of sweetness from the gula melaka.

37331058_10215579062885189_1744936622706655232_n
Cendol Taste North – RM7.80

The cendol was a missed, we had to request for more gula melaka to get back its consistency. I’d personally prefer having the Sago Gula Melaka though.😅

Rasa Utara positions itself as a place for families and friends to get together, whilst also being an avenue for the professional crowd, it hopes that its contemporary setting, complemented with authentic, heart-warming food, will prove to be a draw for those seeking a genuine experience of the North.

Restoran Dragon Star has been around for over a decade in this big neighborhood and always been the family restaurant to go for. The restaurant also focuses more on authentic Cantonese cooking. Keepin’ it real!

Here are some of the highlighted dishes on what we had for dinner:

37321576_10215570200303630_2300417219978330112_n
鹽煙沙薑雞 Smoked Kampung Chicken – RM30/half bird , RM60/whole bird

Free-ranged chicken beautifully marinated in Sand Ginger Powder, giving it a better texture to chomp on. Taste wise its almost like having Salt-baked Chicken except you get to enjoy the skin a lot more.😛

清蒸游水順殼魚 Live Steamed Marble Goby in Light Soy Sauce – Seasonal Price

I absolutely love Chinese-style steamed fish (fresh-from-the-tank) with soy sauce as it lends the fish sweet and salty flavors. The chef also taught us how to identify if the fish was frozen or from the tank based on its texture. Frozen fish brought to steamed would still look the same while fresh from the tank would look eh, distorted?🤷

檸香焗明蝦 Stir-fried Prawns in Homemade Lemon Mayo Sauce – Seasonal Price

The prawns were tender and springy in texture and beautifully coated in their finger-licking homemade mayo sauce with a hint of zest making it an absolute refreshing dish.

Highly recommended for prawn lovers!🍤❤

37224597_10215570338227078_964190080296026112_n
燒焗排骨支 Grilled Pork Ribs – RM23/small , RM46/large

Pork ribs were absolutely flavorful & well marinated served with crispy vegetable fritters. Its almost like having char siew except you get to indulge the juicy tender meat and fat so much more.

It was quite a crowd-pleasing dish to go for.

37205638_10215570202623688_6604663646792450048_n
紅燒羊腩煲 Braised Lamb Belly – RM27/small RM54/large

The lamb was deliciously braised till tender and gravy was simply rich and flavorsome plus generously filled with dried bean curd and mixed vegetables making it so much better.

This simple hearty dish will have you feeling delightful and comforting.

蝦子鍋仔豆腐 Braised Homemade Tofu with Shrimps & Seasonal Vegetables -RM18/small , RM27/large

Dishes after dishes of meat, its fair to have some braised tofu and seasonal vegetables to have a little balance in our body.😂 The sauce was really appetizing, it makes you just want to top it on some plain rice. Not to mention the generous amount of fresh vegetables in this pot!

Bring your family & friends over, its definitely worth dining for! My personal favorite dish from this restaurant has to be the fish. What’s yours?

Three Brothers Restaurant at Subang 2, Shah Alam

Back at it again with some ‘super atas’ dishes here at Three Brothers Restaurant. Just so you know, this isn’t your ordinary family restaurant. The simplest dish in their menu could be a little extra than usual.

37161388_10215571161247653_4494676802748284928_n
Egg Floss served with Crab Meat – RM 76

To start with, their egg floss was crisp to perfection and paired well with some bits of crab meat along with some generous amount of ebiko. It was a really refreshing appetizer as it wasn’t too heavy to begin with.

Wrap them in fresh cabbage leaves with some of the chili sauce that came along with this dish. 💯👌

37229110_10215571160567636_3463485486037729280_n
Cheesy Scallop Mantou topped with Ebiko  RM 12/piece

Now here’s what you don’t get from other restaurants. This delightfully simple yet  luxurious Mantou filled with creamy scallop chunks and scrummy pork bacon bits interior baked with cheese. Yasss! 

Not going to lie but this is pretty darn addictive.

37253687_10215571159487609_3861773553040883712_n
Steamed Clam topped with Minced Garlic & Chili – RM 12/piece

The texture is pretty superb with a combination of bouncy, slightly rubbery but easy to chew. You could still taste the natural flesh sweetness that complement the minced garlic & chili so well.

37273877_10215571163767716_7147078322189500416_n
Braised Fish Maw & Stuffed Cabbage Rolls – RM 98

The fish maws were pack with flavors as it soaked up the enriched gravy while their cabbage rolls were simply delectable! Could I get more broccolis to dip the sauce though? 🤤

37202236_10215571163407707_4932192038721421312_n
Garlic Roasted Iberico Ribs Platter – RM 176

The winner takes it all as Three Brothers Restaurant specializes in Iberico dishes. All-time favorite and loved by many will have to be this platter. The ribs were really juicy and ridiculously rich in flavors. It complements with the mint sauce very well as it gives a refreshing bite to it.

PS: Don’t fret about getting your hands dirty, gloves will be provided.

37265730_10215571166247778_2411882835469139968_n
Slow Cooked Iberico Collar served with Steamed Mantou – RM 88

Heart eyes for this because I’m a sucker for mantous, and eating this with a slice of Iberico Collar? Delicioso.💖 The collar texture is a little more tougher and less juicier than the ribs but his would be a great alternative.

Who would’ve thought of adding some orange marmalade and barbecue sauce would bring this a whole different level.

37273864_10215571165847768_3976125670022447104_n
Sous Vide Iberico Loin served with Pickled Cherry Tomatoes – RM 168

Though this may not tingle most taste buds, it is safe to eat this medium-rare pork loin. The texture is quite squishy but its really flavorful. Have it with some tomatoes to make the experience a lot more pleasurable.

PS: After a few bites you’ll actually enjoy this.😉

37192339_10215571166527785_957916795228913664_n
Caramel Roll with Red Bean Fillings – RM 18/6 pieces

Soft and chewy texture, the caramel roll actually tasted a lot like gula melaka with the sweetened red bean fillings weren’t as sweet as they looked.  Such a palatable dessert to end our meals with.

37161237_10215571167327805_2397453656615026688_n
Mochi with Durian Fillings – RM 30/6 pieces

As the durian hype is still ongoing, you’ve got to order this as your dessert! It has that soft yet slightly springy or most would say ‘Q’ texture with durian fillings making it so much more enjoyable. Plus the ‘atas’ touch of gold leaves on each mochi.

Lulufa Hotpot 爐爐發 at SS15, Subang Jaya

30707750_10214918387368714_4073813511464026112_n

At LuLuFa Hotpot, expect the ultimate steamboat experience from the perfect balance of fresh ingredients, delicious broths and delectable dippings sauces. The Chefs and restaurant thrives on their home-made specialties which are prepared in-house and a range of premium hand-picked dipping ingredients.

30738195_10214918526892202_9132616440132665344_n
Spicy Szechuan Ma La (RM15.90/half , RM25.90/full) or LuLu’s Signature Pork Bone Broth (RM12.90/half , RM20.90/full)

LuLu’s Signature Pork Bone Broth is made of quality bones and simmered for hours, a definite love at first dip. Just having the broth itself is already divine. Not to mention their Spicy Szechuan Ma La. As haunting as ‘Ma La’ may sound, its not spicy at all but still flavorful. Trust me if it was that authentic Szechuan broth, you wouldn’t be able to enjoy as much.

30707893_10214918701096557_4969427880464351232_o
Set Menu (RM17.90/per person)

This set is perfect for 2 person with quite a varietal in one platter. There’s pretty almost every thing you ever need and crave for. Just kidding I’d order some additional of Exploding Pork Ball (RM5.90) & Fuzhou Fish Balls with Filling (RM5.90) just for myself!🐽

30716467_10214918526652196_960704173169442816_n
Hong Kong Bean Curd Roll (RM12.90 / 7 pieces) , (RM19.90 / 14 pieces)

Their bean curd rolls specially air-flown all the way from Hong Kong. Quick tip on how to enjoy them, basically its like blanching them into the broth for just a few seconds. Except you don’t have to plunged them into cold water. Preferably not more than 3 seconds! If you’re blanching it more than the time as mentioned, it’ll be overcooked and wouldn’t be as palatable.

30762571_10214924579403511_3229142316497240064_o
Stuffed Bean Curd [Bentong] (RM6.90/3 pieces)
Love it! The paste stuffed in the bean curd was pretty flavorful I’d have this plate all to myself.

30707754_10214918527572219_4830065713651646464_n
Fish Paste – Chili & Celery (RM11.90) , Fish Paste (RM11.90) , Pork Paste (RM11.90) , Fish Paste – Octopus (RM13,90) 

Their fish and pork paste are all hand-made to perfection giving a nice smooth & springy texture to it once you plunged them into the hot pot. Don’t have to be shy with how much meat paste you could go for, scrape the entire piece to the pot by all means!

30738318_10214918731497317_5044949726403756032_o
Tiger Prawns (RM18.90/6 pieces)

These prawns paired perfectly with the Spicy Szechuan Ma La broth.

30704608_10214918527812225_1795081190521176064_n
BAYMAX COMBO [White Meat-Chicken Fillet, Pork Slice & Pork Bacon] (RM24.90)
30706501_10214918634694897_9043542542150270976_o
ELMO COMBO [Red Meat-Beef Loin, Lamb Slice & Smoked Duck] (RM28.90)
Love the premium range of meat slices they’ve got to offer. The meat slices are absolutely fresh as well. Why are they named Baymax & Elmo combo? Simply because Baymax is white and Elmo is red.😂🤣

30714066_10214924490481288_7976911813897879552_o
Enoki Mushroom (RM2.90) , Shimeji Mushroom (RM5.90) , Oyster Mushroom (RM4.90) , White Snow Mushroom (RM5.90) , Shitake Mushroom (RM4.90)

Who wouldn’t love mushrooms? Especially in Spicy Szechuan Ma La broth!

30738775_10214932376718439_6236468470012182528_n
Fish Ball with Roe Filling (RM2.90)

Nice springy texture of the fish paste with bursting flavors from the roe filling! It gets pretty addictive after one or two.

30725892_10214932376958445_4529893417156608000_n
Exploding Pork Ball (RM5.90)

Almost burnt my tongue having this but that’s not stopping from having more of these. Highly recommended!

30740984_10214932376078423_9032641721879494656_n
Dumplings (RM4.90)

Their dumplings are also another recommended one to go for. Dumpling fillings were so yum!
