Chee Cheong Fun with YouTiao and Black Coffee

As a Malaysian, one of my favourite breakfast combination is You Tiao and Kopi-O. Sometimes with Chee Cheong Fun is great too.

What is your favourite breakfast?

Bak Chang

This is Bak Chang (Hokkien), in English it can be called as stuffed glutinous rice. In Mandarin it is called ZongZi (粽子).

Bak Chang or ZongZi is usually stuffed with meat, egg yolk, dried prawn and squids slices, mushroom, chestnut and for a more luxury taste, sliced abalone can be added. It must be wrapped nicely with bamboo leaves else the content will come out and it will be a failure. It is usually cooked in water for 1.5 to 2 hours.

You can eat with Bak Chang with sauce that you like. I recommend sauce that has sweetness. Wasabi is a nice combination. Sesame mayo is good too. If you know Kampung Koh Chilli Sauce I believe that will be a nice one too!

(Somehow I don't think Sambal from Hokkien Mee is nice as I ate Hokkien Mee yesterday and I tried Bak Chang with the sambal but the sambal covered the taste of Bak Chang. I guessed Hokkien Mee's sambal was too savoury.

Ipoh Bean Sprouts Chicken Rice at Rawang

Today we went to a Ipoh Bean Sprout Chicken Rice restaurant located at Rawang. This restaurant is easily recognizable and seen as it is located opposite Parkson Ria Rawang.

This restaurant only sells chicken, bean sprouts, meat balls and rice.

This bowl of soup consists of meat balls and fish balls. The fish balls were very chewy.

White chicken was very good. It was tender and soft.

The bean sprouts are very big and thick. Unlike what we used to buy at local market or Char Kuey Teow's bean sprouts. However a simple ask can get you Ipoh Bean Sprouts at local markets.

Rice and Herbal Tea each for four persons and with dishes above: RM32.00

Chai Buey (Left-over Dish) with Rice

Chai Buey is a simple dish where leftover dish is accumulated and cooked all-together with Gai Choy and tamarind paste.

The main ingredient is not the green mustard vegetable but the leftover dishes! You can have the roasted meat, chickens such as steamed or roasted one, duck, abalone and etc.

This Chai Buey can just be eaten with rice or just eat it on its own.

Curry Chicken Wantan Mee at Lai Foong Restaurant

Good Saturday Morning to everyone!

As usual, I went to Guan Di Temple for praying and blessing. This Guan Di Temple is located at Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur. Guan Di Temple is nearby Central Market (as known as Pasar Seni LRT Station) and you should drop by here if you are heading to Petaling Street.

Note that this Temple is open daily from 7:00AM to 5:00PM only.

After temple, I went to Lai Foong Restaurant for a good breakfast. I ordered Kopi-O and Curry Chicken Wantan Mee. In English, noodles is called as Mee.

The curry gravy is thick and flavourful with coconut milk fragrance.

And for me, a good breakfast must come with Kopi-O. I like Kopi-O because of its "Kaw-ness" and original. Kaw is what we call 'thick'. So if you are at any coffee shop, you mention anything, and Kaw, the server will understood what you meant!

This restaurant is located at Jalan Tun HS Lee, it is nearby Central Market and it is opposite CIMB Bank HS Lee.

Price: RM1.60 (Kopi-O), RM6.00 (Curry Chicken Wantan Mee)

After that, I went to Thean Hou Temple KL.

Char Siew treats at Taman Sri Muda.

Today my colleagues and I went for a good lunch at Golden Spring Restaurant, Taman Sri Muda, Seksyen 25 Shah Alam. It is located opposite NSK supermarket.

Four of us ordered four pax of Char Siew and four pax of Roasted Chicken. A refreshing Herbal tea for each of us. Or course the meal is to be eated with fragrant rice.

The chilli sambal was good. The Char Siew was sweet, juicy and savoury. However the salty seemed missing, may be the soy sauce is flooded with the sweetness.

The chicken was just ok for me, quite tender.

Nothing to brag about this Yau Mak, just to add green - more variety to the dishes.

Price: RM53 for four persons all in.

Seafood Bak Kut Teh at Api Town

I and a new friend went to a famous Bak Kut Teh restaurant at KK. This shop is situated at Api-Api and it is just beside Cititel Express Kota Kinabalu.

I am used to BKT in Peninsular Malaysia, especially renown Klang BKT which pork meat is the main ingredient. However this shop is a special case. They have seafood version.

Let's try. If I recalled correctly, RM36 you will have 300gram of prawns and fish fillets (grouper fish). These are the main ingredients instead meaty version.

I like their homemade Tauhu. On the outside it is fried to crispy perfection but the inside is still soft.

Price: RM65 (approx.)
