On the way back home last Saturday, we passed by 'Alisan' - it is or should I say it was a Restaurant by that name - years ago. Anyway it was errr, SS3 or SS4, I am not very sure. But nearby is the Taman Bahagia LRT station. Anyway, 'Alisan' is no more there, it is now called 'Ipoh Road Yong Tow Foo'. Mentioned it to hubby and he says we must try it one day. Told him why not have it for lunch, after picking the kids up from school.

So, after picking the kids up, we ended up here.


Did not order much at first, as we were not sure how it tasted. Well, it was pretty good and we ended up ordering again and again. RM1.10 per piece.

Fried Sui Kow
And a plate of 'Assam Fish'. Tasty. Don't mind coming back here for lunch again. But parking is a bit difficult. We parked opposite near 'Lorenzo' - a place selling furnitures

Butter Durian Cake

Baked a durian cake over the weekend. I actually bought the ingredients a week ago. Last week I baked an Orange Cake, but used a wrong tin size, well I actually did not have the proper cake size tin, so instead used a larger one. The cake turned out soft and moist but it was thin. So did not upload the photo. Anywayyy.....

My 'Butter Durian Cake'. Looks good right, taste good also.

Nasi Lemak Kukus

Yesterday we had our dinner, at this stall in front of the flats, in Sunway.  It was yummy. It was Nasi Kukus, Kelantan Style. Hubby bought this for us before, but this time, we sat at the stall and dug in - fresh. When we arrive there, they only had a piece of chicken left and few quails. Well, everybody wanted the chicken, so we had to wait a while as they were already frying it.








Quail - It was good, it could have been delicious, but it was cold already.  But still, I finished it. yumyum.


Rice with pickled cucumber, drumstick, curry, and chilly - delicious.

Spring cleaning

Spring cleaning on a Saturday, actually for me its more of a filing day. I have so many bills, statements from phone bills to credit card bills all not filed for months.  Anyway, I managed to file most of it. Kids were throwing stuffs they did not want, clothes that were too small, etc. For lunch, I just fried some sausages, ham and french toast. hubby vacuming. Time for a break. Having a very bad cough.

Dinner at SS2

Had dinner in SS2, one night. Asked hubby to try out this place, as whenever we passed the shop it was always full of people. Hoi Peng Seafood Restaurant.

Asked my kids what they wanted to eat. As usual, my girl wanted Oat prawns, but my son wanted steam prawns. Mummy wanted steam prawns also, so we had that. Told my girl we will order Oat prawns the next time. Prawns was very fresh, the gravy , lovely. It comes with a chilly sauce, ohhhh delicious. Must try. This was 400g - RM32.00

Next on the list was fish. Hubby asked for sea fish as he knows I don't eat pond fish, because of the smell, but they did not have any. So hubby asked me if Tilapia was OK. I told him should be OK, but it must be cooked with a gravy as to mask the smell. Actually, if the fish smells, even though the gravy is strong I still won't eat the fish. We ordered 'Cheong Ching'. I must say it was very good - both fish and gravy. No smell at all. RM31.50. Bit pricey.


Lastly, vege - 'Tai Wong Miu'. RM15.00

Rambling

After dinner, asked hubby to go to Damansara Uptown as I wanted to buy some bread for breakfast. I have seen this bakery 'Free Mori' numerous times but have not had the chance to try it yet. Hubby dropped me, (parking in Uptown is horrible) and I went in to get my selection. When I went in to the shop, I was like 'WOW', there have so many varieties and everything looks so delicious. I walked around deciding what to get and finally made my choice. Paid and then went outside to look for hubby. As I was going out the main entrance, saw the car parked right outside the shop - thought to myself, wah hubby so clever found a place right outside. While walking towards the car, was still thinking of the cakes and breads inside the shop. Went to the car, opened the car door - immediately a voice said 'Ooops, wrong car'. I looked up, mortified and saw a man, not my hubby, looking at me - smiling, I immediately said 'Sorry', closed the car door and walked off. I was so embarrased, I could think straight. Anyway, I immediately called hubby to see where he was. Told me he was parked in front of ' Brothers'. Said OK, and walked to meet him. As I was walking, I thought to myself, it is right or left. Stood outside Baskins Robbins trying to figure out where 'Brothers' was. The car I nearly went into was still parked outside 'Free Mori'. He must be looking at me and thinking 'what a crazy woman' I was, walking up and down. Anyway, I remembered where 'Brother's' was. As I crossed the road, I saw hubby's car, made sure it was the correct car, looked at the number plate and then went in. Of course, told hubby what happened. Moral of the story. Always look at car number plate before going in, to make sure that it is the correct car. wahahaha.

Sri Melaka, Taman Tun

Hubby brought me out for lunch today. When I got into the car, he asked what I felt like eating. Told him, 'anything'. Had Chessy Tuna for breakfast this morning and was feeling a bit full. Anyway, he then asked if there was any nice 'Nyonya Food' around. Around my office I don't remember any nice 'Nyonya Food', but told him we could try out 'Sri Melaka', in Taman Tun. The place has been around for quite a while. I think I have only been there once and that was ages ago with my ex colleague. We ended up there. Quite empty, only 1 other table occupied. Picked up the menu, saw that they had 'Set Lunch'. It comes with drinks and dessert of the day for RM9.00. The dessert was cut fruits - only 3 tiny pieces. Oh well, what did you expect for RM9.00.

Hubby ordered Mutton Rice Set

Mine was Assam Laksa set
I also ordered my favourite dessert - Sago Gula Melaka. But this was disappointing. It was very watery, not like the usual I always have where the sago is set and you can chew on it. Those white stuff is shaved iced.

 Total for lunch was RM26.10 inclusive of tax.

Port Klang

Ended up at  Port Klang one weekend for lunch. Well, we have been there many times and wanted to try a new place. This is the place. We arived there at 11.30, thus it was empty. We were the only ones there.

Ordered fried rice.




Deed Fried Sotong - Was delicious. The batter was like those used for fried chicken.

Vege
And their speciality - Steam Fish - 'Teochew Style'. Very very yummy especially the soup. Polished everything.

The price, RM60. Don't you thinks its reasonable. No breakdown, as hubby paid for it while I was in the ladies.

De'Chiengmai, Thai Seafood Restaurant

Went for Dinner at a place I haven't been in ages. They used to operate in a little shophouse by the main road in Sungai Buloh where parking was horrible. They have since moved to a bigger place years ago, but I have not had the chance to visit their new place, although I have passed there before.  It is called 'DeChiengmai Thai Seafood Restaurant' at Sungai Buloh. I'm sure some of you would have gone there before.




When we arrived there, it was quite empty. There were only about 3 -  4 cars parked there and we wondered if there were open. Saw a guy sitting on the swing and went over to ask him if the place was opened. Just as he saw me approaching him, he got up to go inside, (hmm does he think I was going to chat him up. heheh) Anyway, I managed to ask him if the place was opened and he said it was.

Went in, the place was big, compared to the last time. They even have function rooms outside.
There were about 3 tables occupied inside. Took our seat. Got the menu and proceeded to order.

Must have 'Tom Yum - Mixed'. It was yummylicious. Ordered the medium sized RM35. Soup in the pot was not even full. So disappointed.


Chicken wrapped in pandan leaves - RM3 per piece. It was minced chicken and a bit spicy.
A plate of Tempura Shrimp - Small - RM15. This was pricey as it only had a few
 pieces of shrimp and fried onion placed on top of crackers which made it look full.

Mixed vegetable - Medium  - RM15





Eventhough we ordered medium it was very small, so we ordered another plate of vege, large this time.
Fried Kailan - RM20

Had a very satisfying dinner. After that, dessert time. The dessert was place near the door and you could select whatever you wanted and how much. RM5 per bowl.




As for drinks, we ordered a bottle of mineral bottle at RM4 per bottle - large. I remember the last time, it was those Thai Drinking water, with Thai language on its bottle. But now, its just the local ones.

Total damage was RM144.00. Pricey, but hey I don't go there all the time.
