食得福美食中心@Taman Century, JB by ViN

食得福..食得福..吃的是福. what a nice name.. direct translation is able to eat is a blessing.. nice right.. haha.. although this foodcourt is one of the oldest in JB but im still a virgin stepping into it. hiak hiak.. hmmm.. i like all this old old foodcourt where it always hide a lot of nice delicacies.. 茹 said that this place she oftenly visit during her school days which is hmmm.. more then 10years ago.. oppss.. i didnt say her age yo.. haha..

actually our main target for this visit is for their curry fishhead.. yeah yeah.. i know i know.. im always eating unhealthy yet fatty food(thats y i got myself a spare type edi lo..) but i just cant resist them. as i already crowned kam long as the best curry fishhead in JB, will this dish change my view? lets see.. one thing it is better than kamlong is their location(opens at night and its an open area) and more variety of foods to choose.

ordered their smallest portion which cost RM23. Dish was served in about 15mins. hmmm.. it has the nice looks and taste wise.. mmmm.. better than usual curry fishhead BUT crown still remains at its place. understand? i think if they wan to win need to know wat curry powder kamlong use.. hahaha.. oh ya, compare to kamlong, their spiciness is up a level which i like but kamlong has a special taste which i dont know how to describe. ingredients wise quite a lot, taopok, taokee(beancurd stick),long beans, french beans, brinjal, big chilli and tomato.

BUT really this dish deserve to be waited.. haha.. their sambal is very nice. the stingray let me scrapped until bones also gone.. hahaha.. thumbs up.

Dunman Food Centre @ JooChiat, SG by ViN

As we were quite free and no idea wat to eat on a specific weekend some weeks ago, there we set off to look for new foods. This time we targetted Joo Chiat Area.
Scroll around the area, hmmm.. wat to eat lei.. saw a lot of seafood restaurant and even pass by tian tian chicken rice shop.. really no idea wat should we choose..

finally we settle down at Dunman Food Centre which we dun have any idea wat is nice in thr.

the first stall that attacted our attention was the DragonCity. From the photos shown, it seems not bad and their price is quite ok. What do they sell? Main dishes are FROGS! haha.. normally when talk about 田鸡 in singapore, the most famous shop will be.. whr? i think mostly ppl will say at Geylang or Chinatown ba.. Each of their price is $8/pc(not sure if there is any price adjustment recently). As for DragonCity, they are selling $7/pc. Quite normal for such a price in foodcourt. Price wise is normal wat about the taste?

when it was served, the dish was still boiling hot and the nice aroma filled up my nostril. haha.. tasted a bit of the gravy, mmmm.. i think it wont lose to any of the famous shops lo.. we ordered the dried chilli type and taste is slightly salty but when it goes with the white porridge, that perfect.

the porridge itself already tasted nice(little flavoured.. a pot cost $3) which for me, im able to directly eat it without any side dish. hahaha.. for my opinion, their porridge tasted much better than the one sold at chinatown. as the kongpow frog is a bit salty and the porridge is quite bland, when mix together.. yum yum.. so total damage for this set for a person will be $10. if for two person, 1pc of frog i think should not be enough, so at least need to order 2pcs and a pot of porridge will be just nice.
Saw that DragonCity was operated by four young guys whose age looks around end of twenties or starting thirties. I quite admire them as they have the passion in doing it. it also inspire me sumthing.. hehehe.. hope it is succesful.(keep it a secret first)

we also ordered some side dishes from other stalls. fried sweet potato leaves($5) and a salted fish steam pork ribs($7).

hmmm.. the pork ribs tasted still not bad.. meat is quite soft and it is not too salty.

BUT do not order their sweet potato leaves.. they use preserved tofu to fry so and it doesnt seems to match. not recommended. maybe belacan sweet potato leaves will taste better..

Nakhon Kitchen @ Bedok, Singapore

It seems to me long time in Singapore i never visited any Thai cuisine. Normally what i saw are those in shopping malls which wont attract me to go in. Actually there is one very near to where i stay but due to complaint by my bro that their service is very bad and drop in quality of food i nvr tend to step into their shop till one weekend, whr me and 茹 really do not have any idea whr to fill our stomach, we just simply choose it.

When we reached the shop, it was still early..should be about 6pm. usually if u reach about 7pm you will need to have patience to wait.. im quite suprise that actually their attitude is not as wat i was told. they are quite frenly lo.. im not defending them, just to express how we are treated on that day. maybe when they r too bz, and u keep asking when how long it will take for you to be seated ot to be served, then they will show ugly faces? guess me.. haha..
As only both of us, we were unable to order much. so we just go for some thai dishes which ought to be nice.. haha..

so the first one was Tom Yam Chicken Soup(not clear base..cost SGD$6). yeah we were lucky.. it was NICE.. i like the taste.. its really Sour and Spicy. Not for the faint hearted.. wahahaha.. although 茹 is not a spicy eater, yet she was able to take it a spoon after a spoon. yum yum.. taste to believe it..

Next came the Pineapple Fried Rice(SGD$6). Hmm.. how come like that de??? y is it served in a plate not in a half cut pineapple? Is it they felt it is too troublesome to make it? first impression lost but i dont deny their taste is still acceptable. quite normal ba if compare to other competitors.

the next dish is highly recommended. The pandan chicken(SGD$6) is realli super delicious but too bad only four pieces.. haha.. hmmm.. it is as usual, strongly marinated in thai ingredients and deep fried till golden crispy. if got ten pieces i also can finish. hahaha.. but one thing, eating pandan chicken is very troublesome as need to remove the pandan leaves.

Lastly after finishing our sumptuous dinner, we ended it with a mango sticky(SGD$5) but it is a wrong move! the coconut taste is very funny.. some sort like sweet sweet taste. not fagrant at all. then the glutinous rice is not salty salty but also tasted sweet. both the item that should not be sweet became sweet but the mango that need to be sweet is not sweet at all. alamak..

oh ya.. they also served coke(SGD$2) direct import from thailand BUT 茹 said its not the taste from thailand.. i never been to thailand before so im unable to comment about it. very soon i will able to rectify it..hiak hiak..

作记@East Coast Lagoon Food Court, SG

Just a quick update on wat i ate at east coast park when 茹 are having the funny taste pig trottle. hahaa..

saw a stall which is full of newspaper article.. as there are not much of choices and i do not wan to eat the pig trottle, i therefore go for it. Dry duck kuey tiau.

its a WRONG choice to choose kuey tiau as i really thick if i choose rice, it will be much better. hahaa..a set cost me $5.

the duck gravy is very thick and the taste is very powerful. maybe to somebady else it will be too salty but to me, its just nice. when it is blends together with the which is quite bland, it really makes a perfect match. nice nice.. if i order rice, the gravy will go very nicely with it.
in short, i recommend this dish to u all..but pls be reminded that the location is very hot. get ready to be sweaty.. hahaha..

Han's Bak Kut Teh @ East Coast Lagoon Food Village, SG by ViN

I recommended the nice Kota Tinggi Pig Trottle to my bro but he told me that a stall at East Coast makes it even nicer. from this statement, my eyes almost bulge out as i do not believe that there is a pig trottle even nicer than what i tasted at QiangJi,Kota Tinggi. So, i a very short time after hearing that, i made my way to East Coast Park to acknowledge the statement!

There i am one weekend with 茹 and one of our fren. i told my fren that this dish was highly recommended by my bro. actually its quite hard to find this stall as it does not state anything about pig trottle on this signboard. i got to called my sis-in-law to confirm which stall is it.

the stall name is Han's Bak Kut Teh. When i proceed up to the stall, onli i saw a few customer queing up for its pig trottle.Wah.. their pig trottle is very big and fat neh.. from the looks it seems gorgeous.

ordered one slim for 茹 and one fat for our fren. wat about me? haha.. i dun like this dish so i prefer to get other dishes lo.. hiak hiak.. saw that they sell braise taupok too.. its one of my fav, so i jus told the auntie to get 1 for me too.. lucky for me i ordered other food.. wahahahaha.. cause the statement is untrue.. wahahakakakaka.. i not sure about other's opinion, but confirmed by three of us that it fails to convince us to come back for the next time.

lets go in more detail why we complaint the dish. firstly, when we first taste the gravy.. hmmm.. seems not bad but when tried more it seems the taste of star anise(八角) is too strong..

actually thats still not so important.. the biggest problem is, although the trottle seems very dark in colour BUT the taste didnt really penetrate into it.. so meaning the trottle and the gravy seems to be different dish.. maybe we are unlucky that day but let us taste it once in this condition, it really stale its image..

furthermore, an easy taupok dish come out to be very funny taste.. i didnt finish eating it as i really cant continue having it. it really NOT NICE.. oh no.. wat has happen.. hmmm.. if ue ever tried this stall and feels that we are really unlucky on that day, pls correct me as when i bek to tell my bro about our opinion, he seems to disagree with me.. hahaha.. watever..

八哩半大家發鸭肉@ Skudai, JB by ViN

Are you craving for some nice duck meat action? here i bring you a stall at JB which i think its not bad but not till superb.
we spend almost half an hour locating it while also contacted a few frens to get to this place. it is located quite near to sutera mall. If you are on the way from jalan skudai turning into jalan sutera danga, before reaching sutera mall u will see a board asking you to turn right leading you to this stall but dun be too happy yet as its the only board u will see and it wont lead you directly to its location. after turning right, you need to turn right again at a small path leading to kua kuang school. then all the way straight until you see jua kuang school. from kua kuang main gate, u are able to see a lot of zinc made roof stall. the location of this stall is around thr. For more info, pleaserefer to the location i tag.

ok.. food introduction time. before entering the stall, you will see a lot of newspaper printout as a decoration for the stalls..

all showing that this stall has been introduced by a lot of media. i felt quit cosy after entering the stall as the decoration are all using wood although the outer tables are using normal plastic type. the place is quite clean too.

i saw the boss himself are still the one operating the stall so giving me some confidence before actually tasting the food.
we ordered a duck portion for two, braised tofu and egg, beancurd stick and noodles.

their duck meat.. hmm.. it is braised type of duck and hmm.. its sauce to me is a little bit not salty enough but to 茹, its perfect for her. the meat is quite tender while the portion for two is still acceptable.

i personally like its braised tofu as the taste really blends into it.. you are able to see a lot of bubble look alike pattern in the tofu meaning it was braised for quite some time. Colour wise sure is dark enough to shows its nice before eating.

Besides that, their beancurd stick is also not bad. as it is served before the duck, im unable to stop myself from attacking it. im a beancurd stick lover, so you can believe my views on it.. hahaha.. BUT its a bit expensive as a small bowl cost me RM3.

Lastly, their noodles is quite normal. nothing to shout out for.

Overall, it cost me RM30++

HoHo Steamboat @ Taman Molek, JB by ViN

It been a while since i had my last steamboat treat.. and from my bro and sis comments, this steamboat is very nice and if you are late really need to wait quite long to find a seat although they have at least 30-40 tables.
So about 6pm we already setoff so that we do not need to wait. luckily not much customer at that time when we reach. after settle down, browse thru their menu.. wahh almost gave me heart attack. their price list is all starting from RM10. !@#%#%#$%@..

a plate of meatballs which consist only 16pcs or a plate of beancurd stick cost RM10..

walau.. how their business is still so good when their price is so high??? issit their soup base is really good? not known till i tried..

when the soup was served.. i quickly took a spoon before we added in the ingredients. hmmm.. yeah the taste is quite nice but it also dont makes me wanna return as i still think it is damn expensive.

there is only 1 thing i crave off after tasting all their ingredients.. there is this so called QQ tofu that i never tasted before. it is very soft and springy. maybe they do it by themselves as i nvr seen it sold in supermarkets.

oh ya, besides that, their chilli is also not bad.

overall, this dinner cost me RM220 for 5 adults(including three bottles of beer). taste is not bad but for the price its really too expensive. i confirm i wont be back besides if only some others give me a treat.. wahhahaa
