Best Food Johor - Mango Cheong Fun @ Kukup

Not sure whether this Mango Cheong Fun is sold anywhere else or not. But when we see it, we made a decision to try it. And surprisingly, it was very delicious... It was sold in a stall on roadside, with a banner...




When the day is hot... this cold dessert is something awesome!



It's not something very famous but it is definitely something you should try...

Best Food KL - Italianese @ The Gardens Midvalley

Went to Midvalley to have a dinner with ex-uni mates...Suggested there as some of them never try it... Bread was served while we looking at what we want to order...
 

Bread was dipped into a mixture of olive oil and soy sauce. Some might not like the smell / taste of olive oil but that is what makes it great and Italians...
We ordered Mussels Fra Diavolo (Mussels in spicy tomato broth) and Sicilian Chicken Salad (Diced chicken breast, mangoes, red grapes and pine nuts, tosed in Lemon-dijon dressing on crispy romaine lettuce) as starter




The Mussels didn't turn out to be as delicious as I expected. Because of the Mussels used I think... It was not as tasty as the one I ate on my previous visit. But the salad is quite nice... (",)
Then for main course, we had Seafood Cioppino (Mussels, calamari, clams, and shrimp sauteed in white wine and tossed in a spicy marinara sauce. Served with fettuccine pasta) and also Shrimp Linguine (Sauteed shrimp served with marinara sauce).
The Shrimp Linguine was great... With fresh and big shrimp as you can see in the photo... (",)




As for desserts, we had their famous New York Strawberry Cheese Cake and Tiramisu




Yummy Yummy... total damage is RM210 for 6pax

Best Food Seremban - Seremban Siew Pow Empire

Back to the last destination before we came back from Port Dickson... we managed to go to famous Seremban Siew Pow Empire to have our lunch.
 
 That place is kinda crowded during lunch but luckily we still able to find a table...
We ordered a few dishes and the food there was great...
First we have this vegetable topped with mayonnaise... Nothing special but can be treated as appetizer due to a sour taste of mayonnaise...


And we have this Kam Heong Lala... Lala is Eric's favourite and that's why we decided to order it... Unexpected though that he ordered Kam Heong instead of Sheung Tong Lala... Hehe


And we also have prawns... Prawns there is what they called "Kei Lun" Prawns... Phoebe recommended we order these because she tried it before. These restaurant is generous giving about 20+ prawns for the price of RM30+ and the prawns are fresh...


And we have tofu...


And Hakka Cha Yuk... (Hakka Fried Pork)


The food are so great and it's only RM115 for 7 Persons (include 7 cans of 100 Plus)... Highly recommended if you are at some where near Seremban.

Before we leave the place, we bought some Siew Pow and Durian Egg Tarts...




Went home and I ate the Siew Pow and Durian Egg Tarts as my dinner... Hehe...

Best Food KL - Traditional Recipe Restaurant @ Kuchai Lama

Ever thinked where can you get a delicious rice dumpling (bak chang) when u need it? Well... Traditional Recipe Restaurant in Kuchai Lama offer many varieties of rice dumpling and even have those abalone, scallop, shark fin rice dumplings.


The Menu


What I've tried in this restaurant is steamed chicken with Nu Er Hong("daughter red"). If u don't know, Nu Er Hong is also known as Hua Diao Jiu("flowery carving wine") and is a kind of HuangJiu("Yellow Wine") originates from Shaoxing, in the eastern coastal province of Zhejiang. For me, it is a bit too salty and the chicken is a bit overcooked (cooked till a bit old is what we say in chinese)... but the taste is quite good.
Maybe this time when I eat it accidentally make it not nice la... Haha


Steamed Chicken with Nu Er Hong



I also tried the chicken floss roll... This one I can tell u that it's nice. It is you tiao inside, covered with chicken floss then wrapped with cheong fun.


Chicken Floss Roll



Besides, there is also this longan ice blended... This one is standard la... Nothing special about it... Just longan + milk + ice, blend together only...
