Sungai Buloh Famous Hot Plate Pancake

Few weekends ago, we were hungry and didn't know where to eat. Then we thought of the place in Sg. Buloh that is always packed. Went there and the shop already closed and moved. Tried to find the location of the new shop, but we went to the wrong side. 

BUT, we discovered something more fun. Hehe.. My mum have been telling me about this Hakka Pancake in Sg. Buloh and whether I have tasted it before or know where it was lah. 

I finally found this place wtf. Do you know how many sleepless nights i have thinking where to find you? Ok overly drama. Malas aku nak edit2 foto ni semua, straight from the cam jer.

Told my uncle about this place i saw and he said to come back and tapao after lunch. The online reviews says there's usually long queue and when they finish selling whatever they prepared for the day then its done. Luckily the day we went there was no queue at all and  we bought like 30 pieces wtf. 10 each. 

There are 3 flavours for this thing: Red bean, Peanut and Coconut.
So far I only get to try the Red Bean cause those hungry people at home wallop all before I could even touch it. And also cause I prefer to eat just the red bean. From what I heard, the peanut is a bit rough, not the smooth kind and the coconut is not bad too. 

Look for this stall, it's right outside a shop selling Chinese prayer items. The main road is narrow and if you look hard enough you wouldn't miss this place. Unless if its not open. 

Certainly wouldn't miss this stall, they even (bake?) this pancake outside the shop. Everything is quite manual. 

The pancake is a bit flour-y. Its coated with flour and a small spot of oil or water. Taste something live very fresh, flat bread with fillings inside. ohya, smells yeast-y if there is this kind of word. 

Don't know whether is it because of my current diet (no sweet stuff if possible), I find the red bean quite sweet. 

This is how it look like when they are grilling/toasting/baking it. Everything is done by hand and it's very hot. I stood near there to take picture also can feel the heat already. 

The pancake (I like to call it bread rather than pancake) is selling at RM 0.90 per piece. Quite pricey I guess, but still not overly pricey considering how manual its made. At least they didn't get lazy and but an oven to toast it or something. 

I didn't expect my aunty and uncle to like it so much that we went there again (and i suspect there'll be many more agains). So yeah, worth a try. 

Address: 345, Jalan Besar, Sungai Buloh New Village. 

awesome dinner

Last night, I had an awesome dinner, with many many kinds of seafood.

We ordered LOBSTER!!, siham, MANTIS PRAWN!!!, fish, and also the bamboo clam. Hehe, pardon the excitement, this is my first time having lobster. And it's cooked with none other than cheese!

omgosh it's soooo good, foodgasm. haha...

Siham or cockles was cooked in a simple way. It was just steamed or boiled then we crack open the shells on our own. First time eating cockles like that though.. I usually see them only in char koay teow, and dont eat them. It's bloody wtf, but quite sweet. Well, easier to swallow than raw oyster. Haha... I am noob. Surprisingly, I accepted the taste quite well. Despite the blood or red juice (live with it), it's rather... sweet.

Fish was steamed (this i know for sure!) haha. Taste quite nice, but I have no idea what kind of fish is that though...

Mantis prawn or 'lai liu ha' or 'har gu' or 'hae gor' was giant! Biggest mantis prawn I had ever eaten! Cooked with salted egg which is my other love, so the dish is just... heavenly. Difficult to explain but yeah... heavenly.

Ohhh, Bamboo clam was giant too. I never really had bamboo clams, and the ones I had before was like a mini baby clam. This, was giant bamboo clam compared to what I had before. Each of us was served in individual plates, one clam per person. It was topped with lots of garlic and had a mouthful of 'tung fun' together with the clam.

What else did we have? hmmm... Haha, have to keep referring to the picture to remember what we ordered.

Oh, vegetable. Kailan. nahhh, I shall pass. haha...

Last but not least, LOBSTER!!! The star of the day. Lobster was cooked with cheesy, omg Cheesy Lobster from heaven!! ahhhh.... How do you explain love? Difficult, and this is the same. Haha. Just awesome!! So awesome I got no words to desbribe.

And because I'm lazy, here is a combined picture of all the food we had. Thanks for the dinner! :) What did I do in my past life to deserve all this?! I'm a lucky spoilt girl...

And then, after dinner, it was still early, so we ALL headed to reflexology! OMG is this life or what? Am I dreaming? If yes, I dont want to wake up. :)

This is proper reflexology, unlike the one I went the night before. Utterly crap. Waste of money.
Anyway, the best weekend ever. Wake up, shopping and actually bought something, awesome dinner, and end with a relaxing foot reflexology. Oh, after that, went to get some dessert also!

So. Much. Love. xD

Sorry, you have to see my fat legs. LOL. Sorry to hurt your eyes like that, after all the awesome food pictures haha. 

Terrible lunch

Normally when i cook spagetti, i would mix it in with campbell's mushroom soup or something.

Went to the grocery store the other day and saw this beef vegetable soup and its freaking expensive so i thought it would be like super nice. Right.

I even added sone fresh vegetables and its still eww. Just eew. Had no choice but to throw it away. Sad.

I dont know why im blogging this.

I'm at Muar, Johor.

This is a scheduled post. IF you're reading this it means that well, I AM HAVING MY DREADFUL EXAMS T_____T or it could also mean that I am done with exams.... LOL

and....

If you saw my post a few weeks ago, you would have known I WENT TO MUAR FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!!! :)

It was a last-minute-one-day trip down south. Never been to Johor before in the 22 years of my life. The furthest I went was to Melaka. hehe... Well, the trip wasn't totally random as well... Had been told last minute that "my exception" is going to be there, so decided to 'crash the party'. That's for another post. 

xD

Well, that morning was feeling zombified because we slept very very late and forced ourselves to wake up super early in the morning. Need to wake up early and rush there for lunch because we'll be there only for a few hours and it's a bit stupid to drive so far and not taste the local food there right? Ohhh btw, by early, we meant leave KL at 11something. ^_^

So yeah, after 2 hours plus journey, we finally arrived at the legendary town Muar (No offense, but everytime I say the word Muar, my mind goes Muarhahahaha... hope I don't blurt it out xD) 

Armed with the one and only 50mm lens, I braved my way through Muar town... Chewah, sound so yeng like that. 

Went back to my friend's house first to leave out stuff there. You'll never believe how much stuff we brought there although it's just a one-day trip. Maybe I should learn to pack light hehehe...

On the way there, we saw...  

The quite pack town, maybe it's a weekend that's why. 

A church on my left...

 And, is this the oldest hotel in town?

If it is, it should be owned by a wealthy taukeh back in those days. See, the hotel so big, should be one of the biggest around already. But right now, there's an even bigger and newer one right opposite this old hotel. I'm guessing it's rotting and waiting for time to pass... 

I only posted up this picture because... because...

Because the sky looks so nice~

I forgot to upload a picture of my friend's house. I think better not to protect her identity.Bwahaha.... Went for lunch later at a very busy looking area. Muar's wai sek kai. xD 

On the way~~ Wahh look at the dent in his car. Ok, totally random and not expecting it. As you can see, Muar is actually filled with rows and rows and rows of shops. 

Pedestrian Bridge in Muar.

Why I upload? I don't know xD 

See, there's like a million shops omg. 

Everyone is a business man/woman there. 

Colourful building. You know why isit half blue and half pink?

Nope, it's not confused of its own gender, but my friend told me that back in those days (or is it just a few years ago? I don't know) when someone has the say, they decided to paint every street with different colour. 

So, if Street A is blue, then the buildings in Street A shall be blue and only blue. 

And this is a corner shop, so it lies in between the blue and the pink territory. 

Thus, the half blue and half pink colour. 

But, quite nice also what..... 

Wetex Parade. The one and only shopping mall in Muar. 

Correct me if I'm wrong pls. 

I've only been there for less than 6 hours, can't expect me to know much do you?

This is also the place where "My Exception" will be at... *awwwwwww*

Ok ok, sorry, now I shall go and talk about food. Didn't get to eat as much as I had expected because (1) i was so hungry that i wasnt hungry anymore (2) i just had a abit less than 3 hour car ride ending with a very 'unstraight' road. (3) i was too tired to eat wtf

Ok, without further a due, let me introduce to you... *jeng jeng jeng* 

(dammit I am drooling writing this wtf)

Char Siew, Siu Yok, Lap Cheong Fan

The stall is damn kua cheong 1 ok.. Had so much pork it could feed an entire village for lunch and dinner i tell you. Apparently its a norm for the stall to prepare so much for weekend because its a weekend *duh* 

Not really used to eating lap cheong. a bit weird weird taste.

the rice was... ok, nothing to shout about.

or, it could be me and my damaged tastebuds because of the early morning call and also the long journey. everything is so rushed that... eat also no peace wtf. 

My friend's wan tan mee. 

Looks good, should taste good because she's a local and she ordered it! :)

Haha, for a more complete food review, pls come back to this blog in the future yeah. Will be planning a trip there again, and eat more stuff. And i'll make sure i'm not too grumpy to eat and also i wake my tastebuds up before eating anything ok. :)

And oh yahhhh, how could anyone, any living-breathing person go to MUAR and NOT eat their famous Otak? Not brain, but fish stuff. 

Muar's Otak-Otak. 

OMGI AM FINALLY HERE ~.~

Alright, I confess, I wasnt a fan of Otak. Tastes weird and its spicy, not the kind of spiciness that i like. my mum likes otak tho. 

I had like 2 of this and had to stop eating cause i found fish bone is both of the otak i ate. like seriously i dont know why fish bones like me. my friend had FOUR of those thing and saw/taste/ate no fish bone at all. 

and like i said, my taste buds was still sleeping so..... I'll leave the food talk till next time muahahahhaha... 

Ok totally random laugh, but it's 3.30 am now and I have a few more scheduled post to write. Sigh, I should just go and sleep then. Tomorrow I START STUDY! 

Ohya, written at 28Nov2011, 3.30am LOL 

So the tomorrow above is 28NOV, when i wake up from slumber. *yawns*

Lucky I scroll down before publishing this post... @.@

I found that there is ONE thing, and it's ONE thing only that is UNIQUELY MUAR. Never seen this anywhere else before ok. Ok lah, maybe other Johor areas also like that, but this is the first time I saw this and please excuse me for being a super sampat ok....

I ask you..... 

Have you ever seen.....

 TV antenna THIS tall? 

Seriously this is the first time ever in my whole entire life I've seen the antenna thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis long omg am i dreaming or what.  

Guess which dessert shop is this?

Any guesses which dessert is this? 

This dessert shop is a few months old in Sunway Pyramid. Walked past quite often but didn't want to try it. Until one fateful day when my tastebuds decides to be more adventurous... 


Had this dessert EXACTLY one month ago for the very first time. Quite nice, as it is different from what I had expected. :) Sorry, I am a fan of Snowflakes, and I thought this is one of the copycats, but well done! Totally exceeds my expectation. I even posted the picture in my Facebook, and some friends has been giving good reviews on this.


So, this is quite recommendable, and the picture above is their signature dessert priced at RM7.90 if I'm not mistaken...


Tip: Need to dig below the toppings to reveal the awesomeness. Altho the topping alone is awesome enough already, hehe... 


And the for whole week, I was at different desserts shops around Subang. Don't know what went wrong with me, but now I know why I was so broke last month. hehe...   


Awww, I miss having desserts. Especially cold ones like these... <3 <3 <3 


Ohhya, the bowl of awesomeness is from Zen-Q located at the Old Wing in Sunway Pyramid. Either at 1st floor or the ground floor(i'm bad a recognizing floors, but i know exactly where it is), near the main entrance. 

Craving for...

I want this, NOW!

Chicken Nest Bao (Gai Wo Bao)

Note: This post was originally posted here, but due to the author's fickle mind, it was moved to an old blog, and then copied back here again. So, this is a totally new post and past comments cant be recovered. :(

Hello,

This is the continuation from the previous post. The discovery of this restaurant and the bao is quite... random. Well as usual, when i wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is to check Facebook. My friend posted a link on my wall, and said that we should go to hunt for this after exam. Then, at night on the same day, I went out with a few other friends, and they decided to have supper at that restaurant. I was not familiar with that area, so I didn't know at all it's the same restaurant posted on my wall in the morning. Then, someone ordered the bao, and it looked oh-so-familiar...

The friend that posted on my wall asked me to tapao, since I am already there, and so I did. 3am in the morning.

This is how the packing looks like. I was surprised to see the nice box because I thought they will just put it in the styrofoam box. They charge me RM6.00 for the bao. The box is specially designed to fit one bao in it.

This is how it looked like when you open the box. The awesome Chicken Nest Bao.

Ta-daa!!!! The whole of Chicken Nest Bao. Now you know why is it called Gai Wo Bao? Because, the outside is shaped like a chicken nest!! Hahaha, actually that's my best guess, i have no idea as well. Well, this bao is a combination of a meat bao and loh mai kai.

The shop claims that they are the only shop in the whole Malaysia to sell this bao. There are newspaper clippings hanging on the extension atap outside the shop.

The insides of the bao. As you can see in the picture, the ingredients are plenty. The meat are cut in quite big chunks, and mushroom too. There's something to bite at least.

The skin of the bao (the entire white area) is chewy, and thats the part i love the most. They are not stingy with the ingredients, which I think is the value for money. Many business now charge very expensive for food, but you cant see the ingredients. And this pau, has a nasi pulut base, which is the loh mai kai.

One week after that, me and the same friend decided to drop by the shop to have another taste of the bao. But time time, they only charge us RM4.80 because we ate there. Quite nonsense if you tell me, forcing the customer to pay an additional of RM1.20 for the specially printed box. It felt like we have to pay for their advertisement lol.

The second bao look a bit dry compared to the first one. haha, look at my not-so-healthy dimsum in the background.

Here, bao + loh mai kai = gai wo bao!

The place sells dim sum also and is open for supper.

Lao Sha Bao

Note: This post was originally posted here, but due to the author's fickle mind, it was moved to an old blog, and then copied back here again. So, this is a totally new post and past comments cannot be recovered :)

Last night, I was super hungry, although I just had dinner not too long ago. So, we set out for yam-cha session with another friend, but at the very last minute, she had something else on and couldn't join us, and we were at unfamiliar territory, so we went to the only familiar place we knew.

Restoran Clan.

I went there few days back, for my dinner. It was other people's supper, but my dinner. 12.30am.

The place is apparently famous for it's Chicken Nest Bao, *pics will be updated* and it was by chance they choose to dine there that night. I thought the bao they ordered looked familiar, and that's cause my friend had posted the picture on my facebook wall in the morning. How random is that.... Having someone posting the picture on your wall in the morning and you are there at the restaurant without even knowing its the same one. Get me?

Well, last night, Vernice ordered an extra, Lao Sha Bao, as pictured above. It cost RM2, and its super tiny. Two bites and its gone.

The Chicken Nest Bao cost RM4.80 if you dine there, and RM6 if you take away. Why the huge gap in the price difference? Well, our guess was that they packed the bao in a nicely printed box, and you pay for the box. Maybe I'll do an introduction on the famed Chicken Nest Bao on my next post.

It's 1.55am now, and looking at the picture and writing this post makes me hungry. Nooooo, I can't eat. I have to wake up at 5am today, because I'm going on a triiiippppp!!!
