wondermilk @ citta mall

so finally met up with yen again. have not seen her for more than a week. so was good meeting up with her. she took me to citta mall, a place where i've heard much about, but have not been. she also took me to oasis, so now i know where it is and can go there for my food hunts. 

we went after dinner so i cannot stress more than ever that this was supper. i went to delicious with my sister a few days back, and have been craving wraps or toasties ever since. wondermilk is known for their cupcakes, but i was super tempted by the toasties. i settled on the chocolatae cake, costing 12 bucks. i thought it was a tad bit pricey for a piece of cake which was really really bad. the cake was dry. the almond wafer was weird. and the chocolate was like fake chocolate. the cupcakes on the other hand were mini. really extremely small. i however liked their coolers. i tried their lime mint cooler which was good. they are known for their flavoured milk, but i wanted something refreshing. 



i went there, expecting good sweet treats, but i was impressed by the savoury treats instead. i had this toastie, which was a mushroom cheese sandwich. the mushrooms were so juicy and was pure perfection. the potato salad was not bad as well. 


the foodie will feel guilty every once in awhile. yes. i felt so guilty having this for supper. but well. i have bootcamp today. so hopefully its not too bad. 

i'm going to malacca on friday for a foodie weekend. not going to be good at all.

antipodean @ tan and tan building

i know i've been a little mia. it's not that i've stopped eating. in fact i've been eating at a higher rate than before. i just didn't have the time to document all my foodie moments yet. been busy. got back from penang. work stuffs to do. trips to plan-yes i'll be gone again. but no fear, i'll update every once in awhile. 


there's one too many brunch places in town these days, yet i've heard, antipodean tops them all. i'm such a sucker for poached eggs and hashbrowns and everything english breakfasts that i could not miss this. visited this cosy place with pau and hany. thing is we came on a weekday lunch. and our problem was-parking. we had to park at a nearby petrol station just to makan here. the car park in the building itself was full. 

i ordered a glass of apple juice with mint. people would go for coffee, but i do not know how to appreciate coffee. i'm the starbucks frap kind of person. not the long black kind or even the flat white kind. 

priced at about 20 over ringgit, i had the eggs Marlborough. its basically eggs Benedict but with smoked salmon in place of bacon. like this place beats nutmeg hands down. the bread was so textural, it was so yummy. the smoked salmon was good and they were generous with the helping. the eggs were perfectly poached such that when the yolk oozed out, the bread soaked up all the yolk messiness and the spinach just added the freshness it needed. 

this place is so good. it tops my list so far. can't wait to bring the angster here to try this out.

hutong food court @ lot 10

i know being a foodie and all, its going to be very difficult to believe that. i've actually not been to the famous food court in lot 10. yeps this is my first. for those ignorant, this food court supposedly brings all the famous food around pj and kl, to one location for your convenience and comfort. i was pretty egg-cited to try out this place, like finally. 

being a huge fan of popiah, i had to try the campbell popiah. i ordered the normal mini popiah and the vegetable wrapped popiah. but unfortunately, to my disappointment. when they said mini, i really did not expect that mini. and taste wise, it wasn't amazing. i thought there would be more type of ingredients but there was only the normal mengkuang. it costs 3,50 for a mini popiah. too expensive for such a small popiah. 




i also tried the ice kacang. which i thought was okay. i didn't like the heavy coconut milk taste but then again its because i do not like coconut milk. but i did like the salted peanuts though. 


attracted by the looks, the que and i just felt like having noodles, i ordered this hokkien noodles, meehoon in replacement of noodles. they used plentiful of lard, making this dish very yummy. a very large portion in comparison with the angsters duck rice which looked too little for a meal. 10 ringgit, but worth every penny. something i would order again. very very good. 

this steam pork with prawn paste, was so bad. 9 bucks gone to waste. its just bad. do not order this man. too little pork. taste wise, not good at all. utterly disappointed. 


also, i went to john king in pavillion. i love the durian egg tarts there but todya i decided to try their portugese egg tart. 2.50 a piece the custard was really good. however, the crust, was not good. 

it was such a foodie day for me. like super guilt tripped because i'm supposed to be eating healthy and everything because i have a run this weekend, actually tomorrow morning at 2am. oh wells. hopefully all still goes well. i'll be in penang for abit. so penang food will be up next.

kah heong @ ss15

i tell alot of people about this place. if you know me well enough that is. i'm a huge zhap fan (mixed rice) fan. what i like about it, is the array of dishes. i love variety. in college, i can order 3 to 5 dishes, and when the dishes come i will go now what. that is how much i love variety. and kah heong in ss15 has abundance of variety. the food is considerably cheap, (apparently people say mr rice corner which is just opposite kah heong is cheaper but from my experience i think kah heong is cheaper), and food is quite good. you also get free water or tea, and soup, which is refillable. 

well i haven't visited kah heong for quite some time. and today me, daryl, junf and dming hit the gym. we had brunch before and lunch after, so i'm not too sure whether it was a gym outing or an eating outing. haha. but decided to hit this place. i like that you can eat alot and not pay an exorbitant price. my must takes are the fried egg with carrots and onions (im an egg lover), the steam minced pork and the pumpkin dish. the vege i like usually cabbage or spinach, ran out because we went about 2pm. today the egg was slightly saltier than usual but the minced pork was top notch, as usual. they serve the food with a choice of white rice or porridge. 

if you want cheap food, you eat alot, this really is the place for you. 

cheap food can be satisfying. in its own way. 



came home to snack on these burdock chips i found at home. someone bought them and i'm going to hunt with all my might, as to where i can find these really yummy crisp. anyone knows?

kwai sang (no2 branch) @ ss15

this weekend has been all about food. usually my lunches and breakfasts are pretty simple, but this weekend, really, it has been an extraordinary food weekend. sunday breakfast, we decided to hit this kopitiam we frequent alot. more of because on saturday we hit this place too and we had this onion cake was really yummy, so we decided to go back for breakfast again. 

this onion cake is kind of more like roti canai/pratha, and its only 2 ringgit. if you add an egg in between, it becomes 3 ringgit. its really good. the outside is all crisped up. definitely a ten out of ten for this one. perfecto. 

additionally i also ordered the dumplings. however i ordered the soup dumplings which might have been a mistake. maybe because its more of the wo tip kind, so the skin is really thick. so i think having them pan fried would have been better. 5 bucks for 5 pieces. you even get to choose the filling. i ordered this because i was intrigued by the fact you can choose your dumpling filling. you had a choice between minced pork, white cabbage and chives, or spinach and egg, or minced pork and white cabbage. i chose the one with chives, but i still felt that the filling was lacking in terms of volume. both the onion pancake and the dumplings were from the same shop. but i have to say, i will only go back for the onion pancake. 

the angster ordered a plate of wantanmee. i found the chasiew not very yummy. i think i still my normal place fro wantanmee is the best but more on that next time. honestly,i find this kopitiam one of my favourites. i love the chinese stall that sells the pancakes, the stall that sells portugese eggtarts, and also the popiah stall. too much good food at an okay price for a place.

village nasi lemak @ damansara uptown

the angster loves nasi lemak from this place. and since we were meeting friends at ttdi artisan roast, we decided to stop by village to have this. i think he has only had this including yesterday, twice in his life. if you've never been here, you'd be shocked at the amount of people que-ing up, if you have you'd know wad im talking about. 

for drinks i ordered a limau ais, which i thought was too sweet. angster ordered a cucumber apple juice with sour plum. absolutely loved the combination. though the glass was a lil small. but, 4 bucks for a glass of juice is still worth it. i mean in comarison with my limau ais which was also 4 bucks id go for the juice any day. i dont know wad went wrong with my head for me to go for limau ais. 

for this visit, i was feeling adventurous again. lately ive been feeling pretty adventurous in terms of food, ordering stuffs i have not tried before. this times, i settled on lontong. no regrets. im the kind of person who appreciates textures of flour so that is why i liked this dish. basically lontong is like ketupat, drenched in curry sauce with long beans, carrots, white cabbage, and topped with a rich peanut satay kind of sauce. i thought the ketupat could be better in terms of texture, but the sauce, was top notch. if not mistaken this dish is roughly 7 bucks, 6.90 to be more exact. 

the nasi lemak, im not going to say much. i mean its famous for its nasi lemak right. the chicken portion is huge, little rice. everything you want to add is charge-able. for instance, add sambal is 80 cents. add rice is another chargeable amount. 8 bucks plus for nasi lemak. more expensive than the ones we see on the roadside, but cheaper than places like madam kwan. 

if you've not tried this, i'd recommend this. local food at its best. look how clean we wiped our plates.

dip n dip @ bangsar

having heard so much and seen so many pictures of this place-finally. 

we came after burgers im impressed with us. kudos to our stomachs. 

i decicded to go for the hot chocolate for my drink. it was okay-i guess i still prefer those kind of really thick chocolate shot kind of hot chocolate. starbucks actually serves really good hot chocolate actually. this was well so-so. not absolutely amazing, but not bad either. i guess i should have ordered something a little more refreshing. because of all the chocolates i was going to consume. 


we ordered the dip n dip waffle to share. 40 bucks. they drizzled it in milk chocolate. i personally prefer the dark chocolate crepe we ordered. i thought the banana was really ripe and sweet but it just lacked chocolate. maybe because they only drizzled chocolate so i felt like there was insufficient to coat the fruits and waffles nicely. also, the waffles weren't a wow thing. good waffles need to be crisp on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. but this was very doughy to me. and we should have added ice-cream. i love good ice-cream with waffles. 



this is the dip and dip triple chocolate crepe. we asked for dark chocolate as the base and this was super good. i absolutely loved the dark chocolate and there was plenty of chocolate to go around. i even coated the fruits from the waffle platter with the yummy dark chocolate. i guess my next time order will definitely be anything with dark chocolate. 

nice place for all the chocolate fans. the crepe is their signature, and is really worth trying. 

me and the angster, obviously the angster more than me did feel guilty after our burger and chocolates meal. we did plan to have a good session the next day, but, unfortunately, it wasn't a very productive session for me. so today, is our eat slightly healthier day.
