Kedai Nasi Ayam Tim Kee Lama 郑记芽菜鸡饭店

Kedai Nasi Ayam Tim Kee Lama is one of my favourite dining place recently. Why?

The reasons are:

1. Near to my house
2. Chicken rice is very nice, included the Hainan chillies sauce and ginger sauce (姜汁).
3. CHEAP, chicken breast with yellow oil rice only sold at RM3.50. ( Is very hard to find this price in other place)

Understand that this restaurant is a branch and the main restaurant is located at Taman Connaught (near to BHP petrol station). It was awarded as Guang Ming's Hainan Chicken Rice King (光明海南鸡饭王) and NTV7's Malaysia Top 10 Chicken Rice King in year 2007. Besides chicken rice, they also sell mixed rice.

Overall, I would say its' chicken rice is the best Hainan chicken rice among those I tried before.

You should try it...

Nippy Noodle Restaurant 竹升面屋

We had no idea what to eat yesterday night. Keep driving until reached Kuchai Lama. I took her for few rounds turning there but still couldn't fine any special food.

Then I decided to bring her try Nippy Noodle Restaurant which I went before. The main selling point of this restaurant is the bamboo noodle (actually is wanton mee ) which is very crunchy (弹牙). In the morning, you can see how they make the noodles.

By the way, the serving size is small and sure not enough for man. Gentlemen, only large size can fill up your stomach.

Introduction:

Bamboo Noodles originated from China during the early 1900's in the province of Guang Zhao, Hong Kong and some part of Asia. Traditional method of making noodles have long been forgotten as modern machines has given way to tranditional methods. Nippy Noodles chose to go back to the heydays. Bamboo Noodles is the old descriptions for Wanton Noodles.

Many important things are taken into consideration in making the noodles. The size of bamboo has to be right in making good noodles, neither too hard nor soft. Traditionally in ancient Chinese Kitchens, it consists of "36 Skills". Making bamboo noodles is one of these skills.

Premium Flour and Omega Eggs is combined to make the noodles perfect without additional of liquid. This gives a good aroma of fresh eggs to the noodles and of course a great flavour. As all these methods and ingredient combine.

"Nippy Noodle" promises products are mad passionately and detailed. As they believe that patrons should be pampered by old school methods and providing new palates with decedance.

Famous Food in OUG Pasar Malam











If you are free on Thursday night, you should go to OUG's Pasar Malam, a place where you can find some yummy food. It also crowded too until hard to walk. You can find many types of food such as Pan Mee, Asam Laksa, Chou Tofu, fried pork, Pearl Milk drink, Fried Kuey Teow, cakes, junk food etc.

Suddenly I noticed that this stall was interviewed by HoChak hosts on his Tokyo Crepes which cost RM4.50 per pc. I just tried another type of cake which only sold at RM2.00 for 6pcs. I chose the cake with red bean to try.

After the try, found that nothing special. May be should try Crepes, not the cheaper cake :P

Restaurant Hill View

This is one of my usual place to have breakfast, especially during weekend. I would say once a week to have breakfast since it is very near to my house and the place is windy as well, will not feel hot there.

This restaurant just like normal Chinese restaurant. You can find mee soup, wantan mee, nasi lemak etc. here but its price considered cheap, only RM3.00 per bowl. You may say since it very normal, so why post it here?

In this post, I would like to share with you about Restaurant Hill View's Prawn Mee (also known as Hokkien Mee in Penang) . The special of this prawn me is the taste which is totally different taste from others' prawn mee. What is the difference? Hard to explain here . When you try, I'm sure you will say quite nice. I believe its ingredients are different from usual prawn me.

I would rate this prawn mee at 7/10.

Cova Cafe, Lounge & Bistro

This time, I tried Cova Cafe located at 1st floor of The Gardens. I was looking quite place to have my lunch with my partner, so we entered this restaurant which was no customer that time, about 12.30 noon (from the photo you already know).

I ordered Miso Clams Soba but the waitress told me no Clams today and the chef will replace it with seafood. Actually I wanted to change to dolly fish fillet but was told "sorry sir, no dolly today". No choice, still stick with my first choice. Then my partner ordered Strawberry and Mascarporne Cheese Parfait.

Strawberry and Mascarporner Cheese Parfait was served first. Actually she wanted to have cheese cake but this dessert seem can't satisfy her. After finish, she immediately ordered Strawberry Cheese Cake but still can't fulfill her cheese hunger. About my Miso Seafood (not Clams) Soba, quite nice. It served with 2 big prawns, 3 big scallops, 2 mussels and some squids which are very fresh. Really worth for value!! I like the seafood and miso soup but don't like Soba taste. I quickly requested red chillies from waitress to cover the soba taste.

Only saw crowd in this cafe after 1pm. Anyway, the only disadvantage I could see from this cafe is its sky juice is chargeable at RM1.00 per glass. They should not do that while others don't.
