Sharing my Ideas, Views and Opinions !

Fortune tellers usually say go for 8 but not 4, go for 18 but not 14. Feng Shui Master normally advice the same thing too. Most Chinese cannot be separated with 8 or 18. Superstitious?  No harm in believing it right?

8 = rich and 18 = confirm rich in Cantonese. Is it really a confirm rich? Er.. I don’t have the concrete evidence to support it but Kedai Kopi 18 is the best example to prove it. WHY?

I first visited this place when I was a boy (now a half full fletched man.. hehe).  Back then, the shop was fairly new but after many many years, the shop still remains unchanged. Slightly older perhaps.

The shop only closes on every fortnight (Tuesday). In terms of working hours, they already earn slightly more than others. Do a simple math and you will know how much extra that they earn.

On top of that, the customers are continuously visiting the shop non-stop. Most of their customers are from local neighborhood. Some even claimed that they are regular customers here.

Everytime, I encounter a big challenge in finding an empty table. Sometimes Ieven need to use my “charm” to get a seat …hehehe…

What is famous here? I ordered Fishball & prawn kuey teow soup, fishball noodles soup, Spicy noodles and 1/2 steam chicken.  I prefer the clear soup rather than then spicy one. I don’t know why but I just love the taste of it.

The kuey teow is very thin and soft. Now, you don’t need to travel all the way to Restoran Onn Kee (Taugeh Ayam) in Ipoh, Perak for delicious and nice chicken hor fun. If you happen to come here, try the steam chicken and you will love it.

It is ok if you don’t read Chinese. Haha.. I didn’t know you are Banana . Hmm.. I don’t read Chinese too but what you need to know is the price for big bowl is RM 4.50 and small bowl is RM 4. Take away will charge an additional RM 0.20.

With the number of repeated customers on daily basis, I will let you decide if 18 is really a confirm rich or just a myth?

When I say about chicken, what come to your mind? Prostitute? Or chicken rice?  If you think of prostitute, you are a freaking pervert. Please bleach your brain before you continue.

If you are thinking of chicken rice, YES, I have a wonderful suggestion for you. All you need is just prepare your stomach for a fulfilling dinner.

Initially, I am intending to have a light dinner as part of my diet plan. DIET Plan? Hahaha.. that is a joke. How can TikkoSS survive without food right? BUT I ended up in Wing Thai Claypot Chicken Rice.

When talk about hawker stall, please lower your expectation on ambience, décor, cleanliness etc. What you truly need are good food, cheaper price and lastly, no stomachache.

Technically this stall is by the roadside. So, be prepared to get a little wet when it is raining and gets a little warm on normal days.

This stall still cook claypot chicken rice by using traditional charcoal cooking method despite the stall is old and not appealing from the exterior. Every single bowl will only be prepared once you order it.

This restaurant also serves soups and vegetables. If you are craving for herbal soup, vegetables soup and chicken soup, you can order it separately. The price is ranging starting from RM 5 – RM 10.

How can I miss the soup, right? I decided to try this coconut herbal chicken soup. It looks very special to me because the soup is prepared inside the coconut. Don’t ask me what they include in there as I am not the expert in Chinese Herbs.

The soup is considered little due to the size of the coconut but it is very refreshing.  The chicken is soft and the soup is delicious. It tastes a little bit like coconut water + chicken soup. Hope my metaphor is truly reflected on the actual taste.

Salted fish, lap cheong (Chinese sosej) and chicken are the main ingredients. I know it looks deliciously tempting but don’t put into your mouth immediately or it will burn your tongue.

Every bite with salted fish and lap cheong make me wanting for more. I know if I ordered for one person portion, it will not be sufficient. So, I ordered 2 person portion instead.

Homemade herbal tea is nothing special and it only cost about RM 1.50.

Did I finish all? OF COURSE! I completely finished up the soup, rice and drink. This is a simple meal that cost me less than RM 20. Bottomless stomach maa.. hahaha… Will I come back again? Definitely!

Hey, I am hungry! Let’s go and eat? Where?? Anywhere.  What do you plan to eat? Anything. That is a typical conversation that I encounter almost every time when my stomach is paging.. growl growl..

This time I need not worry about it. A few bloggers invited me to Jogoya – Japanese Buffet Restaurant @ Starhill KL. Over here, you can get a broad range of cuisines ranging from Japanese, Chinese, Western, Malaysian and a lot of other styles.

If you are thinking of dieting, forget about it ! The diverse choices of dishes, the freshness of food and the delicate desserts will convince you to eat MORE and MORE.

On top of that, the highest quality and PORK FREE dishes are simply irresistible.

Don’t drool when you see this? I said it because I nearly drool when I spotted on sushi and sashimi. They serve free flow of Salmon, Tuna, Mackeral, Squid, Octopus, Butter Fish, Oyster and Abalone etc.

Sometime the queue can be a little long but I can assure you that it is worth waiting. If you are a fan of sushi, you will find many weird choices of sushi here too. !

Seafood lovers? You don’t need to go to smelly WET market or diving in deep blue sea now. You are free to order crab, prawn, fish, shell fish and many more. All you need to do is just picking a big plate and start selecting.

The seafood are Pre-cook? Nah.. The seafood will only be cooked when you order it. This is to maintain the freshness and quality of the dishes. So, you have a say on how you want it to be done.

Like I said earlier, this restaurant also serves Chinese and Western style dishes. Sharkfin soup is a must but I also spotted dim sum and herbal soup. Not only that, there are too many Chinese vege and meat dishes for me to choose from.

Don’t know which one to choose? Don’t decide too fast ! Western corner serves Spaghetti, steak, lamb chop and many more..  hahaha.. now you are confuse on what to eat right? That is exactly what I have in mind at that time.

I am sure you are interested in what I ordered. This time I will not tell you how I like the food but will let you decide instead. How? Some say picture represents a thousand words.. hehe..

Sashimi is a must ! Sushi is a must too but it ended up in my stomach before I even take out my camera (so no photos) . Osyter and scallop are also part of my starter. The crab is a disguise. I didn’t eat it but Xing did.

How to maximize your cash out with food input when you come to buffet? I didn’t eat breakfast, lunch, dinner SINCE yesterday and clean your digestive system.. hahaha.. I am just kidding lol. I’m not that cheapskate,ok?

Let’s see, got lobster, scallops, sea cucumber, crab, abalone, some fish, lamb etc. I bet the question that playing in your head is, do I have diarrhea the next day? The answer is NO.

Personally, I wouldn’t say that all the food is nice but that is normal isn’t it? I like some and don’t like some. I particularly favor the cheesy scallop and the LOBSTER!

Did you see 2 pretty girls there? I mean they look good from that angle. Dark, blocked by hair.. wait wait wait.. Who are they? I don’t know.. hehe .. what I am trying to say is they have to earn their drinks. KNOCK THE COCONUT.

That is really new to me. I literally need to take a hammer and knock a hole before I get to drink it. I drank 5 coconuts in total. Not because I like it but I like the knocking part. Hehe..

Driving around with empty stomach is like breathing in water. Wah.. both are not related wor.  What I am trying to say is both are really torturing.  When the stomach is calling, I am as ravenous as wolves.

On one fine day when I was driving around Pudu, Kuala Lumpur, my buddy routed me to this restaurant, May King. I wonder what exactly they are serving as the name is very appealing.  

How’s parking? Parking is a big problem here but if you manage to get one, you will definitely not regret. This restaurant is always crowded with returning customers so the food must have certain standard.

When entering the restaurant, I am impressed with the cleanliness and the way how the food is prepared. The transparent kitchen is almost the same as Dragon-i @ Pavillion, KL. Even the drinks are prepared in a traditional and visible way.

Before you start asking me, I went with another friend of mine but both of us are considered “small” eater. We ordered Lum Mee King, Yummy Hor Fun, Signature Curry Mee, Homemade QQ Fish Balls and Deep Fried Tofu Roll.

The Lum Mee King, a must try noodles with starchy gravy tastes really really really good. The Yummy Hor Fun is using the same starchy gravy as Lum Mee King but the big fat noodle is replaced with Hor Fun.

If you are craving for coconut milk + curry + yellow noodles + prawns, the Signature Curry Mee is what you should order. I like the creamy tastes of the curry.  

The tender fishball/meatballs and Deep Fried Tofu Roll are perfect side orders. Don’t worry, all these will not add too much of the FAT.. hehe.

We also ordered herbal tea and sugar cane drinks. Both of these drinks are not from can but are homemade. This time is not considered as big meal for us but just nice. All dishes were finished completely.  

If you look at the menu, this restaurant only serves few dishes and snacks. Why do you need a long list if all are good and delicious, right? Look at price! The food here is not expensive too.  

We only pay about RM 24 in total and I can tell you, this lunch is definitely worth the money. The service here is very efficient and friendly. What more I can say, the next time I visit this place, the owner even offer to buy me a lunch. Hehe..

Vegetarian is a term used to describe a non-meat eater. In other words, they are herbivore . Human are born Omnivore so why do we want to restrict our daily consumption to only vegetables and grains?

The last time that I went to vegetarian shop was at Ba Xian Vegetarian Court (Air-cond). That was 3 months ago. I bumped into this Vegetarian Family Home while desperately hunting for food in Subang Jaya.

My instant respond was vegetarian AGAIN? But…but… my stomach was growling very loud so I resorted here rather than continue hunting.

This restaurant is no different than other vegetarian restaurant. Air conditioned, Buddhist songs on the background, simple dining table and chair and only has vegetarian menu..duh..

Like usual, there is also a common booth promoting some Buddhist album and variety of Vegetarian products. This is like a mini groceries store + restaurant + music arcade.  Smart marketing strategy, right?

Rather than ordering the dishes from the wall menu, I headed straight to the ready cooked vegetarian dishes or else I will conk up with no supply to my tummy .

This is what I ordered. Curry lady finger, sambal long beans and vegetarian Char Siew (barbeque pork alike) stick. IF you cannot withstand the spicy food, don’t try the first two.

The vegetarian Char Siew stick is very creatively prepared. The ‘meat’ is actually made of bean curd. I would not say that the texture is like real char siew but it is a close matched. The sweet barbeque sauce and sesame make the taste perfect.

This is the first vegetarian restaurant that I know with facebook link.  Mark Zuckerberg is going to be very delighted to know about this.

This restaurant also provides catering service for buffet, full moon celebration, birthday party, house party and special occasion.  Give them a call and find out more!
