Soft Launch Cafe @ Sri Petaling

Aloha readers! Thank you for your patience with my Missing In Action! Works have been exhausted but I have now stable down thus, when you deserve a break you go for a scrumptious meal right?
Explored this cafe at Sri Petaling twice and I feel that it earn enough points for my review now. 

This is their signature strawberry waffle. Looking at it is good enough right? It is indeed good but in my opinion, the waffle texture can be better. 

Nyonya Laksa Spaghetti. Kinda of spicy and appetizing, something special ain't the ordinary bolognese or carbonara.  

Lotus Soft Serve Ice Cream - The kid love this to the max!

Sweet Potato Soft Serve Ice Cream - Ahh...This is special! You have to give this a try. 

Fried Chicken Waffle - After all the sweetness, aren't it will be good to have some savoury one? The fried chicken was tender and juicy and it blends well with the syrup. 

Soft launch is a recommended place for hanging out with your friends while enjoying your favourite dessert! They served a relatively good coffee too, I ordered their Ice Latte. Here, you can also enjoy free wifi and Pssttt: Their wifi password is a little bit tricky. 
Just take note that, once you're seated you will be given a menu then proceed to the counter to order and make payment (Cash/Credit Card is acccepted). Remember your table number and they will serve you the food when it is ready.

Sekinchan Seafood Food Stalls @ Redang Beach Sekinchan

This new year, we went to Sekinchan for seafood again! I know new year was like 2 months back and I could just skip this post but this seafood is something that you should not miss! 
Back in 2 years ago, Sekinchan famous Redang Beach was relatively quiet but today in 2017, it has totally changed! Redang Beach is now so happening and one of the hot spot for tourist in Sekinchan apart from the Padi Field and Rice Factory. 
They now have so many food stalls (Seafood, Drinks, Ice Cream and Fried Snacks) and of course we had our seafood craving there. Check out the pictures below: 

Stir Fried Chili Scallop - The scallop was so fresh! Simple dish but I can't stop munching on the juicy scallop. 

Fried Lala Omelette - We ordered shrimp and lala for this omelette and it tasted so gooooddd! Simply just eat it with their homemade sambal belacan chili. 

Chili Squid - One word "Fresh"!

Kam Heong Lala - The sauce was very spicy and flavorful but disappointed with most of the empty shell. You may give this a miss because you can still have this is KL.  

Kam Heong Mantis Prawn - Wow! This blown me away! At first, I was quite reluctant to try as I was too lazy to peel off the shell but once I tried one, could not resist it. Very fresh and very spicy. 

Fried Fish Wantan & Fried Prawn Cake - Ordered from the next stall for the kids. Very good too, perfect for 4pm tea. 

A very fruitful 2 hours drive to Sekinchan with this cheap and affordable seafood galore. However, WARNING the weather in Sekinchan can be extremely hot! Please also bare in mind that it is a food stall by the beach, not too windy and it can be very hot munching your food around the area.

Damansara Uptown Hokkien Mee @ Uptown

Anyone would like to gain some calories tonight?? Lets head to Damansara Uptown Hokkien Mee! Many has recommended Ah Wah Hokkien Mee at Jalan 222 but I would much prefer Uptown's one. So, what is so good about this Malaysian's favourite supper? Check out the pictures below:

2 Portion of Hokkien Mee and do not judge by its yellow noodle black sauce appearance as one sip of the noodle with the belacan chili sauce can goes so well! Extra pork lard anyone?  

Add on Kam Heong La La. It would be nice if the lala is fresher. But, its alright I am here for their hokkien mee, lets give this side dish a break. 

Another good thing here is there is also a stall selling roast duck. Sold out very fast! You won't be able to grab one after 9pm. 

Damansara Uptown Hokkien Mee has always be my favourite but due to health reason, no longer consume so much of this. Ain't young anymore but hey, once in a blue moon aren't it will be a good motivation for exercise after a plate of Hokkien Mee? Try it and you will know. They open from 5pm till late midnight. 

Where: Damansara Uptown

Location: 3.5/5 *It used to be very difficult to get parking space but thanks to the new mall Starling opening, no longer a hassle to get one as you can easily walk out to the restaurant"

Taste: 4.5/5 *4.5 solely for the hokkien mee because they maintain the consistency*

Price: 4/5 *Take note that they charge additional RM0.50 for air cond seats*

Seremban Seafood Village @ Seremban

Happy New Year!! I am back after missing in actions for months. Apologize as I have been very busy lately with new job. Being a food lover, I am back to F&B industry! 

Anyway, lets kick start 2017 with good food! Lets start with seafood! Seremban has been very famous with its baked crab and finally last month I had a finger licking moment with my Aussie friend.

We paid RM80 for this cutie but it was lovely! The crab was very fresh and just nice to eat with its signature dipping sauce. 

Side Dishes - La La Fried Meehoon

The total damage was near to RM100 included drinks for 2 pax. Not cheap that's for sure and be prepared to burn a hole in your pocket but since we drove all the way to Seremban, this is something not to miss.

Meng Kee Char Siew @ Glenmarie

Meng Kee Char Siew, this name shouldn't be a stranger to Glenmarie's folks as the tasty char siew's fame had been quite some time. My favourite order had always be the char siew rice but this morning, we had decided to tried their wan tan mee instead and it was a good as ever!

The char siew never failed to satisfy with generous serving of fried wantan and wantan soup

Add on Char Siew. Mum didn't really like their watery chilli sauce but I actually feel that it goes well with the char siew. 

I seldom order their steam chicken but decided to give it a try this round, add on quarter steam chicken and WOW! So juicy and tender! More reason to visit Meng Kee. 

It is very unfortunate that I now work nearer to Ara Damansara side, thus no longer can travel back to Glenmarie for this. Fret not because when there is a will, there is a way. I can always drop by during weekend!

Goreng Kuey Teow Tong Shin @ Bandar Puteri Puchong

It has been so long and when we missed char kuey teow so badly in KL, we headed to Puchong! If you're looking for a "wok hei" type of char kuey teow, you should try this! 
Imagine when you have a sudden craving for char kuey teow and you can't be driving all the way to Penang, that is where Goreng Kuey Teow Tong Shin could help to quench your thirst. 

I guess the picture says it all? Aren't the chinese sausages are too lovely to be munched? Generous amount of pork lard added into it. 

My next favourite here - Chinese Fried Rice. Very flavorful fried rice with chinese sausages, prawn & fish cake. 

Just in case if you're a non lover of both fried rice and char kuey teow, they also served loh mee, prawn mee and pork noodle here. I would recommend the loh mee & prawn mee and their signature popiah is good too!

Ali, Muthu & Ah Hock @ Oasis Damansara

What's the best food in Malaysia? Of course it is Nasi Lemak! In the morning of Awal Muharam holiday, we went for breakie at Ali, Muthu & Ah Hock. What could not be missed here? Fried Chicken Nasi Lemak!

Signature Fried Chicken Nasi Lemak - RM11. You can see that this dishes is on almost all of the dine in table. The fried chicken came out piping hot from the kitchen every minutes. 

Nasi Goreng Kampung - RM9. A little bit of spicy to kick off your day! Very flavorful fried rice with generous portion of chicken slice and anchovies with added fried egg. 

Ali, Muthu & Ah Hock is kinda of similar to Village Park at Damansara Uptown. However, if you prefer a less crowded environment, Ali, Muthu & Ah Hock worth a try! Their nasi lemak would not be much of a difference from Village Park.

Fifties Cafe @ Temasya Glenmarie

Had a birthday lunch celebration with colleagues here. 12 of us and we made reservation few days earlier. Love the way Fifties Cafe handled our reservation. They even offer to pre-order and watsapp the picture of the menu. Well Done Fifties Cafe!

Fish & Chips. I am actually wondering where is the chips?? Lol. 

Chicken Salad

Grill Salmon

Spicy Seafood Alio Olio 

Chicken Cordon Bleu 

As we had pre-order, we were actually expecting to kick start when we reached at 1.10pm. But, there was a slight disappointment when all the food only manage to be served at 1.20pm. Anyhow, I still love the cafe ambiance and their warm service. They also took a group picture using their smartphone and watsapp to me. This is something unusual. This cafe runs by a Malay and you may contact the friendly Kak Marina (012-306 2011) for reservation.

Grab It @ Utropolis, Glenmarie

Reward myself with good food on a lovely friday! Tried out this new place in Utropolis. Their soft serve ice cream is famous here with their main signature flavours - coconut, matcha & coffee. 

For the first round, we tried out ice blended coconut shake (RM7.90) & coconut flavour soft serve ice cream (RM4.90). Both were good but it will be better if it is less sweet. 

As for the meal, we had Fried Chicken Man Tao with signature salted egg yolk sauce & Fried Chicken bento with new spicy butter sauce. I am surprisingly shock that I am full after one man tao. Must be because of the coconut shake. Lol.

They have set lunch too but I choose ala carte because I don't fancy the drink that comes together with the set lunch. Next to try their Ice Blended Cafe Latte that looks very good! Better hope, picture not for illustration purpose only. Their bento and man tao were on the average side but I will still return for blended shake and soft serve ice cream.
