Funny or not that I just know that Ikea Malaysia has such a low price meal which I super like and love! Unlike the RM10 for 10 meatballs in the canteen inside Ikea, this is Ikea cafe right outside the cashier counter, a place to chill and have some light meal before going home or proceed.

• RM2 for a curry puff and a bottomless soft drinks.
• RM3 for a hot dog bread and a bottomless soft drinks.

Where on earth you can find this combo besides Ikea? Even kopitiam is charging RM2 for a can of soft drinks and bakery is charging for RM2 for a curry puff. Ikea rocks man!

After a little shopping at Ikea this afternoon, I bought a combo of curry puff and softdrinks for RM2. I was too hungry and then I add on a hot dog bread and another curry puff. With the bottomless softdrinks, I was full. =)

It’s just yum yum, deliciously low price. Claps for Ikea.

I went to the famous and longest night market in Kuala Lumpur last Wednesday night and that’s the Taman Connaught Pasar Malam. After visiting the night market here, I felt that Penang’s night market is not that happenings and have less food. Nevertheless, they still rocks as I am a night market fan.

I realized that they do sell the stinky tofu (fermented tofu) here at the night market, which is pretty cool because all the while, I thought these stinky tofu is only available in Hong Kong and China, Kuala Lumpur have them too! At Taman Connaught night market, there’s one famous one which is the Chew Chew Chow Tofu which always has people queuing up for their stinky tofu.

It really smells bad but seeing so many people were in the line, I and my friend joined in too, to find out how stinky they are.

They are tiny fried tofu but with a strong odor. There’s small little pieces and also big pieces of tofus.

Well, just to try out, we bought 4 little pieces. It’s not tofu itself only, but with some sweet sauce and a little bit picked vegetable on top.

So how’s the taste? Just a little crispy thingy, tasted good, but super not healthy cause it’s deep fried and the oil reuse and reuse again. The odor didn’t get that strong after that, perhaps inhaling too much of them. Somehow, I felt that’s it’s not so same as the one I had in Hong Kong few years back, the odor were stronger. Anyway, I am going to Hong Kong in a few weeks time, and I am going to check it out again. =D

My friends Arron and Carmen have a try on it too, and they told me that it’s nothing special, but still tasted not bad or ok-good.

So what do you think? Do you like stinky tofu?

I love buffet breakfast provided by hotel most of the time especially at a hotel with good reputation and stars like the Hilton Hotel at Petaling Jaya. A couple weeks ago, I was staying there for a night with my parents and we were given free buffet breakfast. Since it’s free, for sure I would wake up early to check it out. I heard that these buffet breakfast can cost up to RM50.

With a variety of International cuisine ranging from Chinese, Western, Indian to local Malaysian food. They are good, but, I felt they were not the best hotel breakfast to me. I still like the one at Sensa Hotel, Bandung, Indonesia which have a better dining experience and food.

Do you bother about the hotel breakfast or just oversleep for you trip? =)

I don’t really understand why there’s a long queue every time I passed by Sushi Zanmai outlet in KL like at The Gardens and 1Utama. It was a Tuesday and I went to the Sushi Zanmai at Sunway Pyramid for a lunch. This Sushi Zanmai is just another Japanese restaurant with sushi belt like Sakae Sushi and Sushi King but then it’s not available in Penang. My friend told me that their food is low in price but to me it’s just almost the same except the salmon sushi is kinda cheap. =D

After all those wondering and don’t-understands, I finally made myself there to know why. Actually there’s no why. LOL. It’s just felt better than Sushi King and cheaper than Sakae Sushi IMO.

A plate of Salmon Sushi is priced at only RM3.90 of two but then I never see it on the belt and we have to order from the people there.

A nice big slice of fresh raw salmon covered a rice ball. The freshness cannot be said as super fresh but it’s fresh in my mouth, I felt. Some Japanese restaurant served salmon with smaller size. This is good.

My main dish was a I-ve-forgotten-the-name, Chicken Katsu something, it’s deep fried chicken with mayo sauce, a little bit of seaweed strips and Japanese rice. To be honest, it’s not really a good one as the chicken is kinda tasteless. I ate it with wasabi and soy sauce. This is only a small one, I wondered how big is it if I order a big one.

Here’s another I-ve-forgotten-the-name sushi, I know it’s Unagi something something. Haha. It’s a nice unagi sushi and it’s a must-order if you are a unagi lover like me! =)

Sushi Zanmai is available at:

• Sunway Pyramid
• 1 Utama
• The Gardens
• Low Yat Plaza
• Fahrenheit 88
