面粉果 @ Taman Kota Kulai

已经蛮久没吃面粉果了应为狮城大多数买的都是用机器来压扁的。。这样的面粉果真的很不好吃。不够薄也没有口感。就不用提到Q的感觉啦。还是大马的好吃。。
最近在古来半夜宵夜时,茹介绍了这一档面粉果。虽然她说不要放太多希望,只是okok才,半夜可以吃到面粉果就算不错了。
可是当我唱了一口,eh有没有taste错哦,再来一口..真的哦!真的是很不错!已经很久很久没吃到那么好吃的面粉果啦..有妈妈的味道..哈哈..茹的舌头真的是太刁了吧!这样还算还好吗?在加上小辣椒,还有什么比这个搭配再好的呢?哈哈
除了面粉果,还点了一碗bobochacha..wah,为什么在这个louye地方会有那么不错的食物?哈哈..

强记肉骨茶@Kota Tinggi

since tasted ahsoon bakkutteh which i personally think is great, 茹 told me that there is another stall that is better.. can i belive wat i have heard? ahsoon already is superb and thr is another 1 that is better.. oh my gosh.. last weekend, my chance came.
as da stall is located at kota tinggi, so its counted quite far if we wanna go to that place. travelling from kulai takes me about 45mins to reached that place. it better taste nice if not will waste my petrol and oso my strength for waking up early. we heard frens said that, if we r later than 10am, mayb a lot of things will be finished by then. as we r not sure how to get thr, although we r travelling on da right route, but we still phone our frens to get help. a very clear description from her fren is when reach da crossroad, left is to kota tinggi, right is to desaru, pls go straight and will reach da place around 5-10mins. this direction is great. we finally found da place around 10am++ and this stall seems to build out of nowhere as around it, is all palm trees only.. there were so many cars parking and people mountain people sea.
finally we found our seats. we ordered a pot of bak kut teh for 2, pig trottle for 1, fried dough fritters and preserve vege(梅菜).
da 梅菜 taste is not salty which we complaint at first but it seems to have its own theory behind as it is use to neutralise da bak kut teh and pig trottle's taste.. hahaa.. this is wat we thought. when da main dishes were served, my saliva really was dripping..
from da looks, it really win la especially da pig trottle. hoho.. when i taste da soup of da bak kut teh..oppssss.. really, it is VERY good.
the herbal taste is really very very "heavy" and i love it so much.. and wats more? all the meat inside was really tender.. wow! i love it even more! ok.. lets c da second dish.. pig trottle colour is damn attractive.. tasted its gravy.. i raise my hand.. other bowl of rice pls.. haha.. 2 words.. DAMN GOOD! i do not fancy of pig trottle but this 1 really makes me EAT.. but of course da soft, slimy skin i wont eat la.. sumtimes really hate to eat bak kut teh as it always makes me eat 2 bowl of rice.. hahaha..

really its a high recommendation to those who crave for bak kut teh.. hmm.. actually compare to ahsoon, they have their own great taste.. but i dun think i can travel so far everytime jus to eat their food.. so many ahsoon will still b my preference.

The Asian Kitchen @ Vivocity

there are a lot of their shop around singapore and i really dont remember that i ever step into any of them before. this time, i step into their shop mainly because we do not know wat to eat and also there are not much ppl. Going through their menu, actually the food that they serve are quite normal chinese food. we ordered a chicken ramen, lunchoen meat fried rice and 4 pcs of 小笼包.
for their chicken ramen, hmmm.. not much complaint.. not not much compliment oso.. very normal and miss picky tongue still able to eat half a bowl.. so still counted pass yo..
for the fried rice, i myself felt that its quite nice.. and the overall presentation i like as the color matching is quite nice.. haha..
小笼包 ler, da skin a little bit thick but da soup taste is quite nice.. so overall is still acceptable.
regarding the cost, for three of da dishes we ate, they cost us about SGD$20++

有记@Johor Jaya, JB

I have visited them few years back.. previously im here only for their roasted duck and pork. little do i know that there are sumthing here even nicer but im too lucky that day as their specialty, the roasted pig is out of stock! too bad.. without this dish, actually 茹 already no mood but anyway we still ordered a few dishes.
First to served was the duck meat but wat i can say, hmmm.. actually its only okok la.. i not sure y a few years ago i think its really nice. haha..
their noodles are nice as it is quite Q and the gravy that comes with it is nicely mixed.
next is da herbal soup which i think was superbly good. the soup colour is very dark and murky seems very geli but da taste is unbeatable. hahaha.. in da pot, there were a lot of pork ribs which all were in my stomach after half an hour. hahaha..
we also ordered a plate of vege and 锅贴.. the vege is covered with oyster souce which is quite a normal way of cooking it and da 锅贴 is quite nice. for such a big plate it only cost rm6.
overall, i paid rm41 which i think its still reasonable. i will revisit them for their roasted pig but will not be back for their duck as i think its really quite normal.

Claypot Chicken Rice @ Taman Sri Tebrau

whenever somebady tell me about claypot chicken rice, the first few things that comes into my mind is dry, not enough taste and char rice. there r a lot of people selling claypot chicken rice but how many of them really taste nice? in sg, i have given a lot of chances to those people who are selling but they always nvr give me any suprises. this time, when 茹 recomended this stall, i felt some hope as da picky tongue said its nice..

this stall is at the same place whr i mention about the lousy guo tiao zai. At taman sri tebrau, beside the shell petrol station. when i reached this shop, wat i saw was "people mountain people sea".. and almost every table has a claypot on it.
we ordered a claypot chicken rice for 2 person, a plate of vege and a pot of watercrest soup (and as i said in da other post, i also ordered a small portion of guo tiao zai that sucks!). hmm.. as there were a lot of people, we waited for about 20mins for your dishes to be served.
First, the soup was served. I like watercrest soup a lot and the way they cook it did not dissapoint me. thumbs up! Next came the claypot rice and the vege.
Wow.. from da look, the claypot rice really enchanted me.. when 茹 was mixing da rice together, wahhh.. da smell.. woosshhh.. so fragrant.. can i have da pot by myself??? hahaha... first taste was absolutely great! it seems long long time i never tasted such nice claypot chicken rice liau.. its not dry and almost each of da rice was covered with its gravy.. the only thing that i personnally think its lacking, was da little char smell. if thr is then it will be perfect for me. but for ru preference, she likes it without da smell. its really very satisfied having this meal and da price is really cheap too. for this three dishes for 2 person, i only cost RM20. to me is damn cheap la.. everytime i talk to my frens regarding food, i will bring out this dish to recommend to them.. hehee.. need to let everybady knows about it..

招牌面包 @ Han Kee, BP

This shop has been around since years ago.. mayb before im born its already thr.. during teenage years normally wont be thr to "stir tea" as it seems to be so "uncle".. haha.. normally will just stop by to get there their hot hot sponge cake which is just freshly bake from oven or wat my grandpa likes to call "dunlop cake" as its as soft as a pillow.
maybe its turn for us to be called as uncle cause we stop by to have a drink in this shop..ahahhaa.. most of da cakes in da shop seems tasty but my mood was lost after i saw a lot of flies..hahha.. my brader proposed to get their 招牌面包 which i have no idea wat was it. oklo, anything. when it was served.. hmm it seems like roti john.. with eggs and otah, although its quite normal but this old fashion combination still rings da bell. its nice.. haha.. hmm.. regarding da price should be less than RM5 ba.. forgot edi.. haha..
to me, this place is a little bit to crowded and a bit noisy for a nice chit chat. anyway, its still a place whr a lot of chinese will visit as they are quite famous in town and their cakes are really not bad.

Nyonya Chicken Rice @ Kim M Long Restaurant, Senai

this is my first time trying this nyonya taste and i like it so much. i do not know how exactly to explain the taste.. haha.. in layman's word, its really nice and really 够味. the nyonya sauce really coats the whole chicken nicely. to me when i say 够味, although i like it, but maybe to some1 else they will say its a little salty. hmmm.. overall love this dish just that da chicken is over fried a little which makes it a little hard but its still acceptable. 茹 said that she prefers the nyonya fish more. Will update if i tasted it next time.

Roost Cafe @ Jalan Dhoby, JB

I need to write this together with the la It Roo Cafe because it is somewhere you can hang around after having a sumptous lunch.. The deco of this shop is some sort like 60's or 70's era.. it will attracts those people like me who keen to take photos..
i felt that its quite a comfortable place to sit around bullshitting with frens as the environment is quite nice. i ordered a "bucket"(the drinks are serve in plastic pails) of banana kiwi juice while 茹 ordered mango yogurt(maybe da name is not correct but its sumthing like that la)..
for my drink, actually i only can taste da banana but whrs da kiwi? i only can felt the kiwi seed. i like it as if kiwi's taste is strong, then mayb it will makes the whole drink turns out a bit sour. for da mango yogurt, this drink is very "smooth".. mango taste are quite real(i not sure if they use real mangoes) but i just like it so much. just sitting there bla bla bla, easily three hours flew away.. there goes my relaxing saturday.. haha.. if you have time, make sure to drop by. A place whr u can relax, drink and take some beautiful memories away..

It Roo Cafe @ Jalan Dhoby, JB

i counted quite seldom eating western food but since it was intro to me that this is da best chicken chop in town, then there i go. i visited this shop three times for a short short period of 2 months.
first time i did not eat as im too full after having my brunch, just ordered a ice cuppucino.
Looking at those people at the next table eating, really makes my saliva dripping. The second visit was the time i tasted it. We ordered the Fried Chicken Chop with mushroom sauce.
Its really up to standard and the portion is quite big. The outer layer was crispy while internally its still soft and juicy. Mmm.. together with the mushroom sauce, its just getting better but if only they gave the sauce a little bit more.
Besides that, we also ordered their mee mamak. It looks spicy when it is served but da spicyness is still acceptable. I can say this dish can fight with any mee goreng from those mamak outside. Not bad not bad..
My fren also ordered a grill chicken chop with black pepper sauce.. did not taste it but from da look, it should be nice.. haha.. my last visit should be 2 weeks ago.. im there just for their root beer float while chatting with frens.
we did order a plate of fried chicken chop but this time with black pepper sauce. hmmm.. compared to the mushroom sauce, da black pepper is really much nicer. Not sure if they are really da best chicken chop in town but overall, i think their food is good and can be recommended to all.
By the way, the shop is located at jalan dhoby. it is a corner shop so quite hard to miss it. if walk from city square it maybe take u about 15-20mins.

粿条仔 @ JB

r u a fan of guo tiao zai? actually i'm not as most of the guo tiao zai i tasted is not that nice. most important is da soup base. recently i have tasted two stalls of this dish and i really able to compare wat is good and wat is not!

let me briefly intro to you da lousy 1. this shop is located at taman sri tebrau just next to the shell station. i'm here not for this dish but saw ppl eating, and da colour of its soup was quite tempting. ordered a small portion but it proof to me that dun judge a book by its cover.
although its colour is nice, but the taste was quite bland. bad move.. haha..
as da taste is not enough, da meat, eggs and beancurd that comes with it do u think it is nice? :)

here let me intro to u da guo tiao zai which i myself would like to drink up all da soup in da bowl.. haha.. forgot to ask if they can top up da soup.. wahaha.. it is a small stall located near to foon yew high school and the zon.
hmm.. but the exact location, i dunno how to tell wor.. their soup is also quite dark in colour and when the food was served, by smelling, this dish already win. first hot hot spoonful of soup into da mouth.. woosshhh.. i cannot stop la.. again i wanna say, kuey tiau kia dun have taste de, if da soup is not nice, meaning da whole dish can throw.
saw 茹 keep smiling throughout the meal, meaning da picky tougue was very statisfied. we ordered an extra bowl as a bowl is nvr enough. hiak hiak.. next, i oso wanna highly intro about their eggs..
how did they actually make their hard boiled eggs to have a full taste of da soup? da eggs already fully turn black, same as the soup colour. it is better than most of the herbal eggs which was normally sold. da only thing i'm not satisfied is their beancurd. i think they already finished selling their beancurd then they simply just put in new one in. when we ordered, the beancurd is still yet to absorb da taste, and they just sold us like that. not a good idea to picky customer like us. too bad, when we reached da place was quite late about 11.45pm. their stew duck already long gone. 茹 said that it is their famous dish. nwm, anyway im quite sure that i will be back for more.

金龙饭店 a.k.a Kim M Long Restaurant @ Senai

Before i start to intro the dishes from this shop, would like to make it clear that the marks that i give will be fair as this shop is managed by 茹's family. Its my first time offically have a meal in this shop as its da first time i pay to have the meal here..haha..paiseh paiseh..

Pi Pa Duck(Lute Duck?) is the shop's specialty. If you visited this shop but didnt order this dish, then i can categorised u as nvr visited them b4.. Please come again..haha.. i think most customer came here for their duck. the duck's skin is very very crispy and its meat is quite tender too. the taste of the souce is really superb and it really able to blend with the duck taste to make it superb tasty. its a super hard to make dish.. so what i can say is, die die must eat. once i ate a piece just directly out from da hot steamy wok, that small piece is super duper crispy and juicy(oily)..haha.. dun care.. i like it so much!

Next i would like to intro another dish which i highly recomend, da Claypot Bacon with Salted Fish. da way they make it is some sort like gong bao but with da taste of da salted fish makes da whole dish tasted differently. actually, if im given only this dish, i already can eat two bowls of rice.. haha.. Pls do not miss this dish..

HongKong Style Steam fish was also not bad. The most important thing is da souce that they mixed. Although it is not the best that i have tasted, but it is already counted very nice. Im not good in eating fish but from one of my fren's comment,hmmm.. it is a little bit over steamed which makes da meat not so soft.. to me its still acceptable as im not a fish eating specialist. Again, most important is da souce.. i drank it like soup.. hahaha..

Beancurd is always my favourite. Their Hometown Beancurd(家乡豆腐) is another dish that i voted for. The way they presented this dish already mesmerised me and the smell..hmmm.. very nice. It tasted bery good.. i think its my first time eating this dish.. high recommmended..
Salted egg yoke pork ribs.. The smell and the color is really attactive. this dish was placed right in front of me, and it makes my saliva drooling once i saw it.. it is really a not bad dish but i have a little feedback on it. although if u taste the yolk itself its quite good but when eat together with the spare ribs a little bit lack of taste(在够味一点会更好). hmm.. i dunno how to cook, but i ever tasted da same dish that the salted yolk smell is really strong even with the ribs. i dont actually remember whr i tasted this dish but i still remember da taste.. Out of da topic a while, at sg i da salted egg yolk pumpkin at Streets@IMM, its really superb.

How come no vege? hehehe.. i like to be carnivore..hiak hiak.. Kailan with Fried Beancurd Skin. My opinion, this dish to me is a little bit bland. Mayb i always like my dish a little bit more 重口味.. as my other frens said da taste is just nice. Anyway, again fried beancurd skin is my favourite. hahaha.. yum yum

Fried lettuce. Nothing much to complaint. I only can say its a quite normal dish. 简单就是好.

Bittergourd soup. its not their specialty but its not bad la..

Thr are 7 of us having lunch at this place. 7 bowls of rice, 7 drinks, 4 desserts and with all the 8 dishes above, it cost us only about RM135. Cheap right? Yes, im writing this to help to promote their dishes and also would like to share their nice food to others. Hmm.. if you go to da shop tell them my name.. i can confirm u wont get any discount.. so dun try your luck.. hahahaha..

Just a gentle reminder, there are two Kim Long Restaurant in Senai and the shop im refering to is located at the new row of shoplots at Senai which is opposite Senai Graveyard. If you are coming from JB, the shop will be located at your right but in order to reach this shop, you need to make a U-turn which is quite far in front from da shop. if you are a food lover, travel a little bit further to get to da shop is it worth it? Judge it by urself! And if you r trying to visit them during weekends, pls be prepared to wait, as thr are a lot of fans like me swarming to their shop.. hehe..

before i end this review, would like to intro a little about da main chef of this restaurant. he is 茹's younger brother and he is only 23 years old. all da nice dishes are cooked by him and one thing good about him is he likes to get feedback from customers so that he can improve his cookings. pls give room of improvement to this young little chap as i believe one day, his cookings will be well known not only in Senai, JB and SG..some say Batam too.. hahahaha..
