Food 011 : Reborn in Wong Kok

Well, Stuck in Pyramid tonight don't know where to feed our starving stomach, cos we can't chose something too expansive (no budget at the moment), and been stand infront of the direct board for so long. and at last we give it a shot of one of the few famous Hong Kong Style rstaurant. Wong Kok Restaurant, before i go, seriously i don't have a good impression to Wong Kok and the last few time (don't know how long ago) is real sucks, their service, food & interior are out out out. HOWEVER, they impress me this time after hmm..sort of rebranding?. im not sure, but at least it's mroe "presentable" now. haha. They changed their Menu, change their interior design, increased some food variety. I was happy with it tho.

Well, that's one thing i don't like from their Menu, which is ...TOO BLING BLING Jor la!!. hahaz, they follow the Kim Gary, start to give monthly voucher, Member Card. haha. So, as i said we got some budget problem, so we only end up order their dinner set. but here's comes some impress again. the option is much more than Kim Gary, as u can chose fruit instead of the c2pid dessert (the sucks jelly things lo), and the drinks, u can chose fruit juice! yeah. healthy. hahaz.
okay, the outlet i went is Pyramid one. maybe u can drop by, order a drink there, and watch Astro. lolx! yeah they do provide TV now which few different channel. they also provide Wi-fi service.

This is the Drinks (u can chose from coffe to fruit juice), Soup (Borsch or Cream), Dessert (Pudding jelly or Fruit "Watermelon + dew"). however, it's worth but it's normal.

the Watermelon juice & Apple juice

hurm...this is....ehmm...IM SORRY i lost my receipt..i forgot the name, but i remeber it's appear at the monday dinner set menu..price.....maybe..RM10~RM14...lolx..sorry!!. but, it impress me as the bowl design is so special, and the taste...well normal -_-.

this is...hurm..i forgot it name too, but it's should something something twin source, IM VERY VERY SORRY that i lost the receipt. it also appear in their monday set dinner menu. this is the most delicious thing i taste every that night, again they bowl they use for present is very unique.

Well, conclusion, for me, they have reborn. hahaz, i think i will start to drop by as they given me monthly free voucher which allow u to use to chose one among three selected food each month. i dunno what's the condition to get the voucher tho. but i heard waitress say something something RM 10, so i guess spend RM 10 and above. so that's for wong kok. im apolagise again i promise i will make another review for it.

p.s. Kim Gary also start the 2nd year for membership, jusr RM 15 buck u can be their member which allow u got 10% discount on weekends & non publick holiday, and food voucher for each month, plus 50% discount voucher on B'day, and 50% discount voucher on father & mother's day. but they had stop the monthly Hong Kong disney lucky draw like past year. go n grab it now, it's so worth!.

Food 010 : Section 17 hunting

Tonight, we're so glad can meet up our friends Shiang Peng, and we're about to meet another friends who come back to Malaysia from Australia for some Company Conference, and before we head up KL to meet another friends, Shiang Peng recommend us few place for dinner, at first we planned to go Decanter's PJ, but it's closed (why are those restaurant close on sunday?!). Luckily Shiang Peng comes up another idea for restaurant, and finally we're here at this Restaurant call MM Cafe which located in PJ section 17 Happy mansion. it's seem lot of UM n UTAR student like to hang out here, it's not a huge restaurant, and menu are limited. but it's not bad. let's see.

This is the Map (sorry i forgot to take the shop photo, but it's basically ground floor of the apartment there, spend some time to find it as it got alot of restaurant there. but it's alone at one block. so don't go in another few block ya!)

Well, u'll be suprised, as the menu is quite limited, but it's not a huge restaurant tho, but they serve western & local style of food. So 3 of us order different from the menu, and it's...

Iris's having Lamb Chop @ RM 16.90, well, for the price of it, i personally think it's not worth, u can drop to Buffalo Sunway for better n bigger portion. besides, acoording to Iris comment bout the taste, it's normal. and it's their specialty. lolx.

This is what i have, Spaghetti Cabonara @ RM 16.90, it's delicious, i sluurp it in short time. hahaz. However, for the price & portion, it's still abit...well u know. i gave it a Good as for the taste.

This is what Shiang Peng have, Pita Sandwiches (Veg & Cheese) @ RM 8.90, it's quite tasty, but again it's simple. so i gave it normal.

Shiang Peng also ordered this, Mushroom @ RM 8.90, well, it come with 2 garlic bread, this is so tasty, and this is the only from what i order which i think worth. it's taste good.

FYI, we order the normal drink lik eIced Lemon Tea @ RM 3.90, Plain Water @ RM 0.30, Iced WAter @ RM 0.50, why aren't iced water and plain water the same price?!. hahaz. BY THE WAY, what suprised me is they have redemption card which u spend RM 25 u will get one chop, and when u collect 9 chop, u will have a RM 25 meal voucher ya.~.

Food 009 : A Feng BKT...

Remember i said previously that im going to do another Bak-Kut-Teh (肉骨茶) review soon, and now this is it. however, it's not from Klang also this time. it's still in Sunway area. But this Bak-kut-Teh is consider...erm...slightly famous than the previous one i review. As it's was selected by the famous TV shows "Ho-Chiack" last time. It's Located at here...


And this is the exterior, Restaurant Bak Kut Teh Ah Foong (阿峰(干)肉骨茶), It's in PJS 10 area, and it facing a small football field.

Well, been here for quite few times, and it's alot of ppl during dinner hours, and their specialty is Dry BKT, but i didn't tried that. as i prefer Soup BKT. They have a simple, nice, and easy to understandle menu, and they had provide common dished that u can find in BKT restaurant.

This is their Soup BKT @ RM 8.00/pax, well the soup here is taste richer, according to JWF crew Ms.Iris, it's Klang Style, well, for me it's really taste richer, and the meat here is quite soft n tasty. However, it's not much pork inside compared to Ren Ren BKT. and some of you might ask why i never mention the intestine. well, becos i usually dun eat instestine. In Ah Foong BKT, they will give u another small bowl of soup. i wonder why they did this tho. it's good but not great.

BKT must have, Tea @ RM 2~4, depend on what kind of tea u chose. it's just ...common.

You Tiao a.k.a You Zha Gui (油条/油炸鬼) @ RM 3.00 per bowl. the You Tiao here is a plus, it's so crunchy, even u long soak in BKT soup but it's still "klak-klak". hahahaz

Well, this is out side order that day, Spicy Sour Vege (酸辣菜) @ RM 3.00 (small), this one not really impressing..common.

Well, i feel the BKT here is quite okay, it's just not that "WOW!!", however, the moment i paid the owner ask me why i didn't try out thier Dry BKT as it's their specialty, i answered, because i don't know. So guys might can give it a try and feed back to me. hahaz.

Food 008 : Some Pan Mee in Paramount PJ..

Well, i belive major ppl who use to study or stay in Paramount or Seapark should know this restaurant which they serve great pan mee, i mean yeah, it's consider creative yet delicious. I've been visit this restaurant like at least once in a week for past 3 years, i serious addicted to the Pan Mee they served, and beside their main specialty Pan Mee, they do serve some Teppanyaki rice, noodles, and they also serve tasty portugese style grill stingray, shrimp n some other fish. however, we're trying to focus on their Panmee this time. and right before that, let just show u the out look n map to there....

This is the location, the Green is the one, and the Red & Blue is 2 nice place we introduced last time, Click Here. Well, it's should be easy to find, it's right beside NationWide courrier & a Vegetarian restaurant.

This is the Restaurant exterior, Paramount Garden Restaurant (新的天地餐室). well, avoid to come here during lunch hour as they will have hell lot of ppl there, and u might need to wait at least 20 minute for ur order. they business hour is usually 8am~4pm.

The time i shot this, was so many ppl, we was shared table with some other ppl.

And this is they most famous specialty, Loh-Pan-Mee (卤板面) @ RM 4.50, well, it come with 3 different size. in fact u can see lot of custormer order this as it's really delicious, the soup is quite tasty, and i LOVE the special made chili. it's MUST-TRY.

Beside the Loh-Pan-Mee, they do serve lot of other favoured Panmee, like Normal, Dry, Tomyam, SzeChuan, Fish Paste. and u can chose what kind of noodles u want like, hand pinched, normal panmee, Thick noddles (Hokkien Mee), Thin noodles or Mee-Shua (面线). Well, becos today both of us order the same thing, so i can only shot this. but worry not, i will visit again, as im always there.

Food 007 : Malaysia chinese representitive

Well, been introduce quite some place for good and great food, now it's time for this, the dish that make malaysian Chinese proud ( i guess), yeah, it's everyone favorite Bak-kut-Teh (肉骨茶), Well, been Wiki for this just now. It claims that Bak -Kut-Teh is originate from China, well, i can't doubt that because im not usre, but im sure it's become so so so popular to the world (okay at least asia) from Malaysia, Klang. Yeah, Klang (巴生) is always associated to Bak-Kut-Teh, and u can see numerous of Bak-Kut-Teh restaurant there, and many malaysian says they served the best among the other places. For more info bout Bak-kut-Teh history n tex, Click here.

However im not gonna introduce Bak-Kut-Teh from Klang tho, infact, i just simply bring my Camara for lunch, and i visited this Bak-kut-teh Restaurant located at Bandar Sunway Mentari PJS 8, which is just Walking Distance from Ginger Tree. it's located here...

Ren Ren Claypot (Dry) Bak-Kut-Teh (人人瓦煲(干)肉骨茶), located in Sunway Mentari PJS8.

It's my 3rd or 4th times here i think, well, i came here just becos it's the nearest Bak-Kut-teh around where i stay. You don't have to worry bout seat, they got not much custormer (lolx).

Bak-Kut-Teh @ RM 8.00/pax (Pure meat, no instatine), their Bak-Kut-Teh is good, as they really throw in alot of meat, and the soup is quite good also. They do serve the dry Bak-Kut-Teh as well, but im still prefer the soup one.

Teh @ RM 2~4 (depend what Teh u chosen), this is also a must drink when u eat Bak-Kut-Teh, but what they have here is just common. nothing special.

You Tiao a.k.a You Zha Gui (油条/油炸鬼) @ RM 3.00 per bowl. personally, i love to add it when i eat BKT (Bak-Kut-Teh), it taste so nice when u soak it with the BKT soup. yummy, but again, they serve a common one.

Stir-fry Carbage (油炒玻璃生菜) @ RM 7.00, well...common...common...common..

Well, This Ren Ren BKT i think it's just normal BKT restaurant, the only thing i like bout them is, they served fast? (due to not much cust.) and they really throw in lot n lot of meat (at least when im there, they did). anyway, i will definitely visit n review on Klang BKT one day. i miss the BKT there...>_<

Food 006 : Paramount Frenzy

This time, i going to review 2 places food at one post, because both this place is quite near, it's just around where i study last time, it located in Sea Park PJ and Paramount PJ, both this shop is walking distance. let's get started!!.

This is the location, it's located in Paramount & Seapark, the Red color one is Yong Tau Fu, the blue color is Nasi Lemak

Restaurant Yong Tau Foo Khong Kee (广记酿豆腐“招牌粥”), in fact, i've been stay at this area for like 3 year, but i never been to this Restaurant, so it's my 1st time visit today, it located just beside Hong Leong Bank Paramount, and opposite of Giant Paramount.

As u can see, the Shop look quite old, and not well renovated, but u still can see lot of ppl visit here sometimes, meaning they really serve some tasty food. u can know their specialty from their signboard which is porridge & Yong Tau Fu.

This is it, they only got serve one kind of porridge, and this is it (opps, i repeat). how do i call this, erm.... Home Made delicious porridge + Preserved Egg (皮蛋) @ RM 4.50, this is really awesome, it got cuttle fish, peanuts, shitake, dry shrimp, onion, and....i forgot something, im sure there's something i left behind in this asty porridge. after i try this, they Canton-i i tasted can go to ****, hahahaz. it's MUST TRY. in fact, i heard bout it before i went, they time i listen to my frens recommend it, i was like "it's just porridge, how tasty can i be?" but im definitely wrong.

This is also thier spciealty, but it's so~~~~ normal, and expansive. it's Yong Tau Fu @ RM 1.00 for each options u chose, usually Yong Tau Fu it just RM 0.60~RM 0.80 for on option for restaurant like them. okay fine, it's expansive it's okay, but the taste...it's Extremely common. and ...that's it for this.

Well, this Khoong Kee Restaurant does serve also "Jee-Chong-Fun (猪肠粉)", but i didn't try it this time, should visit again for strike thier Jee-Chong-Fun as i saw many ppl order it.

Okay, finish the 1st part, now it's the 2nd part of Paramount Frenzy, it's our Nation Food, the food which one of our most notable, representitive food. it's Nasi Lemak, hahaz, Nasi Lemak is like u can get it everywhere in here Malaysia. so usually how do we define a good nasi lemak? i bet there's lot of different kind of Godly good Nasi Lemak, but for me, the Sambal (Spicy source) has to be unique, Fry-Chicken has to be tasty n crispy, the rice must be very hot n fragrance. and this Nasi Lemak which i eat so so so many times in 3 year when i stay here, had just qualified the condition i noted above. it located at Sea Park (see map above for exact place), behind May Bank, Oppotise 7-11.

This is how the Restaurant look like, it's so Mamak style, yet they dun have their own sign board n all that, but their popularity is a thing must notice, sometimes u can't find a seat. (i should take a photo of the crowd).

This is it, Nasi Lemak Ayam @ RM 4.50, well, this is really really really delicious, start from the Sambal, it's very unique, it's not really very spicy mean while bring abit of sweetness, and u just never get sick of eat it along with the rice. and they Fry-Chicken is just something make this great, it's so crispy, crunchy, tasty, warm, and hot!. and the rice is does containt a frangrance, i wonder what's their secret recipe. the portion is okay, but usually i end up add rice. fried-egg is just normal tho. it's MUST TRY!! every friends i bring them here, they all give a very good comment bout it, some even get addicted like my cousin who stay in JB, he must want to eat this everytime when he's here. so it's getting u addictive! hahaz.

Well, actually in Paramount PJ, there's alot alot of good food to be explore like Pan Mee, Asam Laksa, Hokkien Fried Noodles, Duck Rices, Cheap Mixed-Rice, and all that, i will do a review it all next time.! hehez. so watch up for more review on good food @ Joviwonderfood.blogspot.com .



Food 005 : Kim Gary geting common...

Well, Spend sometime under the hot sun while working today for taking some politician house photo. End up quite tired, and decide to go for a quick lunch, and our friends Nicole suggest to go Kim Gary Pyramid outlet. Since i say quick lunch, i really just order some light refreshment for it. I'm believe most of you went Kim Gary before aye? it's so common and it's nearly everywhere now in KL, but thay able to maintain a good QC for thier food among other outlet (so far those i had visit taste the same). anyway, since yall know it, i just make it quick one...

ta-dah, the popular yet getting common French Toast @ RM 4.90, well...how to say, last time i ate it it was quite special to me, but maybe because of the arise of many kopitiam style restaurat like Old Town, Old Taste, Kluang Station bla bla bla, i felt this French Toast at KG is just getting normal.

Both Iris & Nicole had this, Beef Cheese Baked Rice set @ RM 15.90, well luckily this one still taste quite outstanding, as it's a set, it come with a few option of drinks, a dessert and soup. so i think it's still worth to eat. it's not a big portion, but it realy taste good.

Personally, i like thier Coffee, Tea, Yin-Yong (Coffee + Tea), this Yin-Yong is like the speacialty of them to me, most of the time im here i will order, and it still so tasty. addicted?! perhaps. anyway if ala carte it's @ RM 3.00. and the one beside which is Chinese Tea @ RM0.90. Chinese tea is just so commonly common.

well, that's it!
