Just Koffea @ Seremban 2 (Uptown Avenue)

A surprise visit for an ex-colleague in Seremban! As a token of appreciation, she spent us lunch at this cafe nearby her house at Seremban 2. A very eye catching cafe where you could catch a big bear warmly welcoming you from the entrance. 

The cafe interior, it is all about bearsss...

Ice Latte

Big Breakfast - At its price of RM17.80, definitely worth sharing with its portion. Exchange the mushroom with another hash brown. 

This is how the complete set of big breakfast looks like. 

Smoked Duck Pasta - The pasta was good except for the very not lean meat of smoked duck

It is really an eye opener that there are now so many attractive and interesting cafes and eateries around Seremban area. I caught a few Japanese & Korean cuisine around too.

Foo Hing Dim Sum @ Bandar Puteri Puchong

What good food that can encourage you to wake up early? As in super early? As early as 6.30am? Yes, it is Dim Sum!
You can easily locate 4-5 Dim Sum Restaurants in Bandar Puteri Puchong area and Foo Hing is the latest addition that stands out with huge crowd daily. 

I apologize that I was too hungry that I couldn't wait for the rest of the Dim Sum for a happy family picture but Hey, aren't these are good enough? 

Let me provide you a breakdown of what we tried and the ratings. At least 9 varieties for 2 of us! 

Porridge - Good

Egg Tarts - Good *Recommended*

Bacon Roll - Average

Yam Puff - Average

Salad Prawn - Good

Siew Mai - Average

Fried Fish Ball - Good

Xiu Long Bao - Average

Pan Fried Lobak - Good *Recommended*

Foo Hing occupied 2 shop lots (Aircond & Non Aircond) and yet we need to wait for tables. I guess they win over their guest heart for their freshness, varieties & speedy service.

Lao Dao Pork Noodle @ Bandar Puchong Jaya

Being a pork noodle lover, Ah Or Pork Noodle House at Sunway Mentari has always be my hot favourite! Then, spotted this "Lao Dao" Pork Noodle at Bandar Puchong Jaya (Opposite RT Pastry Cake House) and of course we went in for a try!

Dry Lou Shee Fun has always be my top noodle option for Pork Noodle! Generous amount of minced pork and we added fish paste and it turns that the fish paste tasted better than its minced pork. 

In conclusion, Ah Or Pork Noodle is still my all time favourite. Will somehow give it another shot one day to try their soup version or seafood version.

Soong Kee Beef Noodle @ Sunway

Our dearest all time favourite beef noodle Soong Kee at Jalan Silang has now landed in Sunway! I was so delighted to know this good news! So near to me now!

Soong Kee is located at the opposite of Sunway University aka No parking! Thus, decided to takeaway instead. Ordered Beef slice + Beef Balls Dry Noodle. Sunway branch added a little bit more creativity to the original one by adding shredded carrots 

To be honest, kinda of disappointed with their sunway branch taste. 

What is good: Tender beef slice and minced beef 

What is bad: The soup! Tasteless and it is no difference from plain water. The noodle texture could be better too. 

Where: Bandar Sunway (Opposite Sunway University)
Location: 3/5 *Do not expect to get a parking during weekdays*
Taste: 3.5/5 *I've not give up on Soong Kee, will give it another shot soon*

Willy Satay @ Dapur Warisan Rasa

Anyone craving for Satay?! I recalled the taste of Willy Satay 3 years ago when BK had Raya Makan Makan Session and Willy Satay was one it! Ever since that, I always wanted to make a trip to Kajang but never had the chance to do so. 
Colleague told me that at Dapur Warisan Rasa, there is a Willy Satay stall? Apa tunggu lagi? Let's go! 

10 sticks of Chicken & Beef Satay to feed 2 stomachs! Erm, to be honest it is not as tender as the original one but this is close to the Kajang one

We then spotted this childhood memories - Fish Satay! Selling at 20cents each back in school time, we love it so much!

L'Usine Cafe @ Ho Chi Minh (District 1)

This post was a throwback of my Vietnam, HCM trip back in last year December. Basically, I don't really fancy vietnam food because it is too strong for my personal liking. I remembered dropping by fast food restaurants for so many times for that 4D3N trips. 
Anyway, tried this L'Usine Cafe in District 1 and would like to recommend this to you guys!

Caesar Salad - Very big portion, will be good for sharing

Crispy Squid - Soft and crispy but it would be great if the portion is bigger but as it mentioned on the menu, this is light snacks

Spaghetti & Meatballs - If I can remember correctly, it was a pork meatballs. Not a fan of bolognese but kinda of love this too 

Fish & Chips - Good, real fish you can see and it is not those supermarket type of Fish & Chips

Where: Ho Chi Minh, District 1 (Further down from Ben Thanh Market)

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*

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.
