Green Curry Laksa... Milky and spicy with a zest of Basil

Scrolling thru the Famous Pasar Malam in SS2 one Monday, noted that this particular stall which i had my meal before in Cheras Pasar Malam. More than happy to eat here, was a great authentic Thai food where u don't have to pay exorbitantly for.

Great quality authentic Thai Food in a Polystrene bowl, the enviroment and utensils aside, this is really a little Thailand here in SS2. There are variety of dishes :
Tom Yam Noodles
Green Curry, noodles or rice
Chicken feet
Tom Yam soup
Glass noodles
Mango and Papaya Kerabu... etc etc

And all there dishes cost about RM 5 - 6 ringgit. Isnt that cheap, Its every penny worth...

Penang; Air Itam Assam Laksa

This is the number one Penang Assam Laksa in Malaysia, a sin not to come here!!

The lovely orgasmic assam laksa to be accompanied byt a nice cold sugar cane or soya bean, cheers to the quality of the drinks too.

This is just ur little heaven in malaysia.... i dead damn love assam laksa, and there is no better place to try then but in the number one stall in Malaysia. Penang had been the birth of the Penang Assam Laksa, and this place is "the" place for that indulgence.

Smooth broth of a soup with crushed fish wth a finishing touch of prawn paste... u can sense the luxury in its smell.
With cucumber, onion, pineapple and mint as accompaniment with its noodle... Just orgasism in ur mouth

This is a must eat place for u assam Laksa fan. Its is wonderfully accompanied with a stall selling sugar cane or soya bean, just a lovely combination.

Vietnam, HCMC; Ben Thanh Restaurant

Ben Thanh market is located right in the center of Ho Chi Minh city. From there, it's easy to walk to other main attractions in the city. Backpacker streets, Pham Ngu Lao and De Tham, are just within a short walking distance from here. You can find a lot of souvenirs and local products sold here. Price is highly inflated, and you have to bargain extremely hard. They also have a night market there, opening from 6pm till 10pm. Not sure if the night market is still in operating now. Food, souvenirs, handcrafts are sold, and it is really nice experience of Ho Chi Minh local life.

f you are in the mood for shopping, do not miss the Ben Thanh Market. Centrally located and popular with tourists, it sells everything from fake Nike shoes to silk ao dai.

This is one of the best places to pick up conical hats and ao dai. The market and surrounding streets make up one of the city's liveliest areas. Everything that's commonly eaten, worn or used by the Saigonese is available here: vegetables, meats, spices, sweets, tobacco, clothings, household items, hardwares, coffee powder and souvenir worthy items.

Known to French as Les Halles Centrales, it was built in 1914 from reinforced concrete; the central cupola is 28m in diameter. The main entrance, with its belfry and clock, has become a symbol of HCMC.This place i sstumble upon is an awesome stop for ur dinnering... Fantastic with awesome pricing, Spend like a beggar, eat like a king.

What are the few things that i had ordered? There is this dish that is a kind of BBQ beef, the Beef is Grilled on top of a roof plating places on an open fire. U couldnt find anything quirkier than this.

 And it only cost me 90,000 dong (Rm 13.90). An awesome experience. then there are ala carte dishes, example: i ordered Crab and Aspargus soup - tasty for only 30,000 dong (RM 4.60), Frog meat cooked in 2 different style - Butter fried and lemon peanut sauce; 55,000 dong each (RM 8.50). A Plate of sauteed Vege, Leek, Bok Choy etc etc at 30,000 dong (RM 4.60).

There are severely many many of choices to choose from. Another interesting dish is the Snapper, there are few ways of presenting it, the one i ordered was a huge Fish with a steamboat setting, in Some Sweet Thai soup, not Tom Yam though, not that great - would had ordered the Grilled one, to be eaten with their savoury leaves and rice paper...

 Rating: 82% ( Awesomely worth ur cash for the quirkiness of the dish) - I had been back there twice.

This Stall is located at the Night Market around the Ben Thanh Market, There are few stalls and the uniform for this stall is blue, Enjoy a nice awesome dinner session with the good looking and beautiful waitress and waiter for the evening.

Vietnam, HCMC; Snowee Ice cream

Awesome travelling around Vietnam, the gem of SEA... as i was just shopping mall hopping, i stumble onto this place.... a nice quence of thirst and chill for a warm sunny day.

This reminded me of "STONECOLD" ice cream i had in Taiwan and HK... Awesome awesome....

High quality ice cream, many many for your delightful taste... i think this actually has more that 31 flavours of Baskin Robbins, Unlike the Rum and Raisins here in Malaysia, the Ice cream here really has that kick of Rum right up ur behind. Thetechnic that had been in place in presenting this ice cream is also weirdly perculiar.

They actually mixes the ice cream u like, slap it on a wooden block with icing sugar, flattens the ice cream, and mixes nuts and chocolate sauce, caramel, marshmallow etc etc, depending on your liking. When i was here i choosed, Triple chocolate which incooperates everything chocolate - Damn it, its awesome!!!

Generally the pricing is of the followings:
Regular: 50,000 dong (Rm 7.75, USD 2.53) - Single scoop of ice cream
Supreme: 80,000 dong (Rm 12.40, USD 4.13) - Doouble scoop of ice cream

Not much history that i can gather as there is no online information

Ratings: 90% (An awesome stop for hot day of walk - Superbly awesome)

This is a chain franchise that u can get thruout Vietnam, This was taken in a Shopping Mall in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam, VINCOM Mall...

PJ; Italiano - Casual italian dining

 Wondering where u can capture the essence of good european food? perhaps italian?? famous for their great traditional dishes: Pizza, Risotto, Pasta...... etc.... Drop by this rather newly face lifted shy Italian restaurant right in the Heart of SS2.

I had been here before few times, and i can only tell that the standards are getting better. Emaculate and accurate ambient setting for ur palatable adventure.

They preserve as much Italian styling interior design and furniture. Good job, However u have Bangladeshi here serving and taking ur orders, Rather acceptable command in english and proffesionalism in comparison to many places that mostly run by Burmese staffs...

They Have lunch sets that are more than worth for ur cash, Set price tags at 10.90, 14.90 and 16.90, depending on the combination that u have matched, Set Comprises of, Soup of the day, Entree ranging from Pasta, Rissotto, Lamb chops to Lasagna etc etc, Ice lemon Tea. Valid only on Lunch time period on weekdays.

They somehow manage to hold in as much authenticity as they can, pretty good. Plating is great - fine dining style (for those with exquisite taste). Extra promotion to that is that u are able to add on either Salad or Tiramitsu cake for only RM5 or Coffee or Garlic Bread for RM3.

 Variety of choices from the ala carte menu as well. In addition, now they are promoting their "Flamming August", where several dishes are discounted 20%, with presentation of a certain boucer that is freely available in the Restaurant... Whats the point? hahaha.

The Desert was great, for RM5, Its awesome, I had better but aint RM5 for dead dure hahaha.

KL; Ribs by Vintry

 I was here for a birthday of a close friend, so for that "Happy Birthday Jason"!!!. Was here for the first time but the food blown me away, compelling me to share this with others.

King of all the ribs: Barbarian BBQ Ribs!!! - Finger licking good...

Ribs and wine - one stop - at Ribs by Vintry, Damansara Heights. A relaxed atmosphere (yes please do eat your ribs with your fingers letting the sauce drip down to your elbows and a sticky tongue dabbing ring of sauce develop around your lips and up to your cheeks), cosy set up and a fantastic wine selection make for a comforting and tummy satisfying evening with friends or family.

You already know the two reasons to visit - ribs and wine. Starting with ribs, the waiter told us that the braised ribs are the most 'special' but our table thought the BBQ pork ribs and the butter cream pork ribs gave them a good run for that honour. Portions are generous and accompanied with some type of vegetable most often mashed potato and coleslaw. Around RM60 will get you a large rack of ribs enough to share or to take home some leftovers. If you are only going along to accompany the carnivore in your life there are a number of other menu options that won't leave you needing a coronary cleaning before midnight.

The Vintry house salad is pretty filling, packed with fresh leaves, cherry and sun dried tomatoes, olives and a tangy papaya dressing. You could also easily just nibble on the cheese platter while blissfully sipping away your hand chosen bottle of wine. Get a recommendation from the trained waitstaff or walk around the racks and coolroom to see for yourself the great assortment of award winning wines from around the world. A decent bottle of wine starts from around RM125 and there is no corkage for wine purchased from the cellar.

So many of us, we decided on variety if dishes for tasting;


Pork ribs sauteed in butter cream & curry leaves-infused sauce. Could have used some bread to mop up the thick, robust gravy.

BBQ pork ribs. Their signature dish really satisfies, though I'm inclined to believe that Checkers nearby still serves chunkier, more succulent ribs.

Beef ribs braised with red wine herb sauce. Tender, but the sauce was too salty and overpowering. Would it be sacrilegious to say we prefer Tony Roma's?

Tom Yum Spaghetti. This might sound like a weird combination, but they were DELICIOUS! I can’t stop picking on the crispy pork lards too. YES, you hear me right; you can actually have crispy pork lards in your spaghetti.

Barbarian Ribs.  I’m not kidding.  Eat it with your fingers (and ruin your manicure).  Tear the meat apart with your teeth (and wonder why it doesn’t take any effort when the meat literally falls off the bones).  Lick that delicious barbecue sauce that clings to the meat.

Rating: 96% (Super Awesome!!!)- but do keep in mind, ur paying for the taste, cost wise "expensive"!!

KL; Restoran Kin Kin - Spicy Pan Mee

All the noodles are home made and processed 

 Tired from a full blown morning at work, taking a break for lunch decided on this place which is located rather near to my work place.

I was introduced to this place by a friend of mine who was working near this area. She told me that this is a must try Pan Mee as it was very different from the normal soup pan mee that we always eat.


The shop was crowded with young adults and many had to share tables due to huge crowd. A mound of thick round noodles topped with ikan bilis, chopped scallion, a wee bit of table sugar, pork sliced and chopped, and tiny cubes of cracklin’, all crowned by a snow-white poached egg. After adding heaped spoonfuls of the la jiao that makes its way from table to table in a plastic tub, we dug in.

Kin Kin’s pan mee delivers on its promise—ultra chewy noodles and a la jiao light on oil and heavy on slow-roasted chili flavor that elicits a sharp tingle, rather than the sort of tongue-searing burn that might overpower the dish’s other tasty ingredients.

 

A good bowl of chili pan mee that leaves you yearning for more because…at RM5.80, the portion is really small.

Rating: 90% (Highly Recomended)

Restoran Kin Kin is located on the backstreet off Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman. Take a left turn at Pizza Hut followed by a right. The bright yellow signboard is hard to be missed.

PJ; Neu Vegetarian Restaurant

Neu Vegetarian Restaurant - located at the periphery of Menara PJ

Haaaaa... a special entry for u Vege fellas, "Vege-bon".. Hahaha... This place had been a famous spot for its Vegetarian food, This place mostly visited by Vegetarian Chinese and Indians...
Vast variety of good choices for ur dishes from Rice, Noodles, Ala Cart Dishes.... etc

Something special about this place, is that they have Vegetarian "Yong Tau Fu", which suprisingly taste better than the one prepared with meat.

The Broth that the serve the pieces with is really good... Excellent... also the stuffing that its inserted somehow taste so good (better than meat), i would eat here over the one with meat. Its about RM0.80 - 1.00 each.
I had Ying Yong Noodles & Hokkein mee, also Yong Tau Fu for sharing.

However one thing i have to comment is the waiter and waitresses, mostly burmese and are unable to converse well in english nor chinese, as for the one and only Malaysian Chinese there, hahah cant speak Cantonese of even a word of english, so u have to be doubly sure that ur orders are right and Persis to ur liking.

PJ: Pasta Zanmai

Pasta Zanmai One Utama Petaling Jaya

Where should i have hmmm.... Japanese? Italian? hmmm.... well lets mix them both. A Japanese takes on Italian cusine? Pasta Zanmai in 1Utama is a spin-of from the popular Sushi Zanmai located in 1Utama too. I have been to Sushi Zanmai several times and find it quite interesting compare to other sushi restaurant, so I believe Pasta Zanmai should not dissapoint you guys.

Pasta Zanmai actually has a retail at the front of the shop selling Japanese stuffs and the restaurant is at the back occupying half of the shop. Therefore the space and seating capacity is kinda limited. 

Lets start off, hmmm, Would something so Asian go well in fusion with European cuisine... to your suprise its awesome. I have been a huge fan of japanese food, and this had not let me down though disrupting its authenticity. They have double plating combo for one, that means u will be ordering mini dishes instead of one per person, which i feel i pretty good. Bring 8 person and u guys could share and taste the variety of 16 dishes. Sound good? This is just a snip it of the menu. There are ample of variety u could choose from. Also they always have their months special dishes which goes on promotion, its a good buy. The double plating cost RM23 only.... !! Goes well with a jug of cold iced green tea, RM3... OMG!! hahaha...

Deserts, suprisingly deserts are their specility too... taste awesome, they plate them elegantly. Taste fantastic.I had dinner with my other friends and the dinner was rather fulfilling costing me about RM56 total, thats money worth spending on hahaha...

Ratings: 92% (Extremely Highly recomended - If u had not been here - well, its a crime!!!)

An inspiration from the immense diversity of delicate and healthy Japanese food and the love for pasta. A creation from fresh & natural raw materials, prepared to perfection with original recipes. An experience of unique & delectable Japanese Pasta, a palate promised to be fondly appreciated.
