While I was in KL, my uncle brought me to Klang for Bak Kut Teh breakfast. I always heard that there has a lot of good bak kut teh, but it was just hearing from people mouth and never been there to try before. Finally the chance is here, my uncle lives in KL so he knows the way around. He brought me there for breakfast, the place has like over 20 shops selling Bak Kut Teh and if you are not people around there, you would not know which one to go in.

Alright, the restaurant name is Mo Sang Kor, it’s not a very good looking one, it’s very simple but the food look good.

It’s all pork. Pork leg, the big bone part and also the meat part. When it was served, I felt surprise to see that the Bak Kut Teh was very different with what I had in Penang. The pork meat is big, there’s only mushroom, garlic and pork, unlike here, we got other ingredient like tao pok, fu zhok and more. Another thing is that the soup is not waterish like us, it’s more creamy and it’s very nice to eat with rice. I ate a lot that morning and I will visit this place again. Great.

Fried longbeans.

Brinjal/Eggplant. This is special a bit because they cut it small.

花卷 (chinese: hua1 juan3). Steam Scallion Bun, nice to eat with curry or the tung po yok below.

东坡肉 (chinese: tong1 po1 rou4; cantonese: tung po yok). My favourite pork dish and it’s good to eat with the bun. Delicious, very.

Yummy! Unfortunately, they’re only in Kuala Lumpur and Penang don’t have Esquire Kitchen. Hopefully then will open an outlet here in Penang.

I went to Kuala Lumpur 2 days ago to visit the Malaysia International Furniture Fair (MIFF) at PWTC (Putra World Trade Centre) with dad. Dad is working in the furnishing industries. ^^ Their caterer for food should really improve on their food because serving not-up-to-par food to International visitor will gives them a bad impression about Malaysia’s food.

The nasi lemak I had was very GELI (a slang as in yucks!). Ingredient-less, and not spicy, can’t feel the lemak-ness. We were in a rush, so we had one of our meal at there, so basically, we were forced to eat at there. Else, would went to look for good food in town, perhaps Jalan Alor? =)

Seriously, it’s an international event and we must have good food at event venue! Agree?

On my very short KL trip 2 weeks ago, I went shopping at Pavilion and when it comes to tea time and hungry, we went for food at Crystal Jade Kitchen. Have been to Food Junction food court a few times already, so don’t want to eat there again, wanted to eat some nice Chinese food.

It’s pretty quiet at that time, there’s only a few days, maybe it’s weekday and it’s afternoon. We ordered only a little food. Egg tarts which was nice and warm.

Their Phoenix Feet (chicken feet) was good too, but I don’t know how to differentiate the taste, I put in my mouth and I felt good, so I tell you it’s good.

Very common Cheong Fun dish with prawn. So-so only, there’s bigger prawn and the chili paste tasted better.

I ordered spicy minced chicken noodle. The chicken it’s actually not minced, it’s chopped into very small pieces and cook with some sauce. It tasted sweet and a little little bit of spicyness. I think this is something that I want to eat one time only, perhaps not my favourite, but I like the noodle. The noodle is really Hong Kong/Guangzhou style, very crispy, nice to bite, and not soft.

My brother ordered a roasted goose drumstick noodle. Served with some kailan vegetable and a bowl of soup. He said the roasted goose was good, I tried a little bit and also agreed with him. The fat part of the goose is very juicy but it’s the best part to eat.

Crystal Jade Kitchen is located in the basement of Pavilion shopping mall, Kuala Lumpur.

You love Ikea, I love Ikea and I think everyone loves Ikea, not only for their cool minimalist design furniture and accersories but also the food at their restaurant. I first came to know about their restaurant and food two years ago with a recommendation from my brother who is a frequent visitor of their Singapore store. I didn’t have many chance to visit Ikea because it’s a 4 hours ride from my place which is 400km far away from my home, so which means it’s not in Penang, not anywhere near to me in town or out of town. It’s in another city, it’s in Kuala Lumpur which is the only Ikea in Malaysia. If Ikea will to open one in Penang, I’ll be really very happy.

The restaurant is always full of people and the queue at the food counter is long though fast moving. This is the efficient of self service and many workers working at the counter.

Here’s our all time favourite which is the Ikea Swedish Meatballs. I asked for extra gravy when ordering the food. You can have a choice of french fries or mashed potato but I like fries more.

Another nice food is their fried chicken wings ala Ikea style. Why I said it’s Ikea style because it’s taste different from my grandma’s cook. Hehe. Nevertheless, both are still delicious.

Here come our little dessert with a little Swedish flag on top. This is called the Daim Cake. Well, it’s sweet! =) Thin and cruncy and cold.

On my visit to Kuala Lumpur, I got to try one of the famous fast food restaurant, the Carls Jr that’s not available in Penang or else where outside Kuala Lumpur. Brother brought me and a cousin there to have our burger meal.

It’s located on the basement of Pavilion and on the deep end of the mall. It’s quite quiet there but there’s where all the fast food restaurants are situated at.

Well, I got to say that it’s not just a normal burger, it’s bigger than McDonald’s and more expensive than McDonald’s and taste better than McDonald’s, though it still can fight with Burger King. Ramli’s burger is good but both are different thing, I’ll say.

You can try out their chili’s fries. It taste good, there’s some beef sauce on it and it’s not really very spicy and it’s good.

Eating Carls Jr’s burger is not like eating McDonald’s or any other burger. That’s what my brother thought me and here I am teaching you HIS way of eating Carls Jr’s.

Let’s see the filling of burger first. This is the Superstar. There’s a bar in every Carls Jr.’s restaurant for you to get some sauce, some extra vege to fill into your burger and also the soft drinks self-service refill machine. What you gonna do is get as many vege fillings and the sauce as possible.

They do provide sauce plate but don’t use it, use the cup’s lid to fill your vegetables as mush as possible. You will gonna need a lot of it to make it taste very very very good, though it’s already good without them but you want to make it superb.

Now hold the the burger with both hands, squeeze it until there’s an opening in between. Now you pour in your vege fillings and the sauce. Then EAT IT. You will refill your vegetable as many times until you finish, because it taste just so good with it.

You are now worrying that sauce everywhere, vegetable fillings everywhere on the table and you get your hands very dirty, no worry because It’s gonna get messy, that’s what the tagline told us. There’s a lot of tissue paper on the table, so no worry.

It’s messy.

Lastly, we refilled the whole big cup of soft drinks and got off. One cup, many person shares, that’s so nice.

I got something to show you, it’s the same pose of me holding a soft drink cup 4 years ago.

Form 1, 13 years old, with Burger King. =) Different hand though. Ignore the Burger King, this is about Carls Jr. now.

By the way, sorry for the bad quality, they’re taken from my cell.

On the 6th floor, the dining floor of Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, there’s a lot of International cuisine restarant. One of which located near the centre area is the Istanbul Cafe.

I was curious about the 3 bucket of don’t-know-what’s-in-it in front of the little classy cafe, brother told me that it’s ice cream in it. In Singapore, there’s real Istanbul people, carrying 3 bucket and a stick and sell the ice cream in front of the crowds. In the mean time, they are like playing with the crowds, making a street performance with the stick and the ice cream. They swing the stick with ice cream on it, round and round, up and down to shows that the stickiness of the ice cream.

We thought that it’s the same here in Pavilion, but it’s just ice cream. For the curiousity, we paid RM4 for the vanilla flavour and I’ll say McDonald’s Sundae Cone is still better. Though, there’s still something special about it, it does not fall when it’s upside down.

I read in the newspaper that Jalan Alor has nice chicken wings. I don’t really know about which stall does sell nice chicken wing. Can anyone enlighten me?

On my last visit to Kuala Lumpur, we took a walk along Jalan Bukit Bintang and eventually turned into Jalan Alor where there’s a lot of open air resturant, cafe and food stall, hawker stall or normally known as dai pai dong 大排档 by locals. I learnt about Jalan Alor from the newspaper when the state government was trying to change the road name into names related to planet, but afterall, it’s back to Jalan Alor again.

I saw a chicken wing’s stall, ordered a few of it to try out. To my surprise, there’s no honey. It would be better if there’s honey and thei chili sauce supplied was just like the hainanese chicken rice’s chili sauce, nothing special.

Is it I got the wrong stall?
