Love you both! :)

Makan-makan @ KL (part 2)

If my previous post did not make you hungry, surely this one will!!

The famous Ampang Yong Tau Foo... their fried wontons are simply the best!

Since my brother has this ever-lasting crave for spaghetti carbonara, we went for western food...


Kopitiam style french toast and kopi... simple and nice...


Delicious Thai food recommended by my sis and our usual hunt and Jimmy and Nong... tom yam soup, grilled sting ray, seafood fried rice, fried lala and kerabu salad...


Seafood dinner at Pantai Seafood Restaurant...


Ooooh... their cheese baked oysters are to-die-for!



One of the latest hit in Mid-Valley: Paddington Pancake House

Sweet...


Or savoury pancakes??

MAMAK - Something that I missed dearly... from Milo dinosaur to Indomee to roti telur to maggie goreng to mee goreng... sigh... why can't they have mamak in London?? I'm so out of touch with mamak-ing that I didn't even know that they now have Roti Hawaiian (served with ham, pineapples and mayonnaise no less!!!) Wow...

One of my MiMi's favourite cuisine - KOREAN DISHES -




AND last but not least... Jap food... My whole family is into Jap food that every time I'm back we have lots of Jap food...

One of the many reasons why it's so good to be home... THE FOOD... but I guess the price to pay is my BIG FAT TUMMY... sigh...

Makan-makan @ KL (Part 1)

A glimpse of what I have been stuffing myself with while I was back home!

My old time favourite of chicken hor fun and pig stomach soup near where I used to take piano lessons


Night-time hawkers near Pudu: my favourite curry "chee cheong fun", red bean soup, bo bo cha cha and sup kambing


The famous XO sauce fish head noodles and claypot "loh shee fun" (er.. I don't know what this is called in English... the literal translation is mouse tail noodles since it looks like the tail of the mouse!) at Old Klang Road


Other famous hawker food around KL such as BIG prawn noodles, beef ball noodles, fried fish cakes and hokkien mee




Aaah... and Dim Sum of course!


Oooh... and this cake that my sis told me about... it's actually made up of hundreds of thin sliced pancakes with vanilla cream between the sheets... yummy...

Local kuih-muih like this water chestnut jelly

DOUGHNUTS...


Hong Kong styled desserts and delicacies e.g. iced mango sago, oat porridge, black glutinous "tong sui" and fried radish cake

Fabulous Chinese restaurant dishes such as claypot crab rice, steamed fish, lemak prawns, honey chicken....

Classic chicken rice (both steamed and roast chicken!) served with roast pork, BBQ pork and pork balls...

And not to forget... MiMi's signature bird's nest!!!


Sigh... I'm really hungry now... but stay tuned... more photos to come... and you'll understand why I'm getting FAT now... sob sob sob...
