Pasir Penambang & Sekinchan Paddy Field

it was holliday, I realized that I had not been travel to anywhere lately...

went on a trip kee ming's family was fun and enjoyable indeed,

now I have a better understand how he could be so humor and funny, making everyone lam mmm dou yeh (speechless) all the time lol

it is all about genetic & social learning

although traffic was jaming all the way (most of the time, i think?) due to the Raya festival, yea everyone is balik kampung-ing, it wasn't a surprise that will jam especially in kampung road

but then i still stand the bore and  helplessness of the traffic condisition because:

1. I'm not driving LOL

2. the way his dad of nagging and mumbling about the traffic was funny, as well as the things and joke he shared during the trip

3. I got much more time to see, look. watch and observe everything out of the window, where usually I have no opportunity to do all that most of the time, yea, because mostly I'm the drive 

first place we reached was the pasir penambang fishing village, seafood is damn nice over there, anyway we were unable to get even a piece of sotong in both of the very-happening-seafoo-restaurant hahaha holiday peak season, was full of people

but we still got some good stuff in other less-customer restaurant

Seafood pancake

Deep fried sotong

gong bou baby shark fish

next place would be the sekinchan paddy field, well most of the paddy has been harvested

can't get a nice shoot for the paddy because all is still short xD

sekinchan paddy field

peaceful, smooth, calm and steady trip

sometimes inner peace is just around the corner of your heart

Brussels Beer Cafe

One nice place around my office building, in Jaya1. 

I will always go for cheap and nicer food which is my default setting Uncle Sam mixed rice LOL but somehow I don't mind to go for complex lunch, once in awhile....

old menu for set lunch Mon - Wed

old menu for set lunch Wed - Fri

But this restaurant serves real good awesome lunch set indeed! XD

It comes with a main course, with bottomless salad and one iced lemon tea.

Mon - Fri they serve different set of main course however they change their lunch set menu since August so now they serve 3 choice of main course every alternative week, but I could not remember the menu... and the price has gone up a little bit but still below RM20 

Germany sausage with mashed potato

Grilled dory fish sandwich and fries

 I like the fries so much *eventhough I don't like to eat fries...* because they are sliced into big strips... so wild and fashion~

Grilled pork

Roast pork spaghetti

 THIS IS A MUST TRY~! I just can't imagine how nice it taste when siew yuk *very crispy* put into the spaghetti, heavenly blend

Tuna Olive Spaghetti

Well, above were the main dish from old menu...

and below are the new menu start from August~

Tokai Spaghetti

 No idea what it is, but it has tomatos, garlic, onion, some meat....and its name really sounds like POKAI 

=P

Crab meat cake

Don't know why, Belle said it has the seafood sting lol but i find it kinda aromatic, very ocean aromatic xD

Summary:

•  Best food: Roast pork spaghetti
• Price: Below RM20 after charges and tax
• Place: Jaya One

Ah Khai Famous Char Siew Chicken Rice

Price: RM 5.50 CharSiew with roasted chicken + Rice and soup

Location: PJ around Sea Park area or Taman Paramount @ Restaurant Mei Yen

Italian Sick Part 2 - Veneeze

Sick form the next day we had another farewell lunch *treated by director xD*

we were planning to go for Brussels Beer Cafe, but we had it last farewell lunch with Belle (who has returned...) and Lisa....and we figured out that another newly opened restaurant in Jaya One, so far never been there before, so we gave a try

It was Veneeze, Italian food again but I was kinda excited for Italian food since I'm loving-sick with it xD

Not bad for the grilled button, but it will be more tasty if they use butter to grill this

Minced chicken with button

Carbonara Crabstick

Olive pizza

Sausage pizza

 The food pretty fine, not that high-ended, consider normal price, food quality ok-ok also, the pizza is crispy, but I wish the topping can be improved...

Summary:

• Price: Normal range from RM 8+  to  RM 20+
• Food: Portion just nice, taste okay-okay. Pizza is crispy type.
• Venue: Jaya One, Block D

Italian Sick Part 1 - d'italianekitchen

      I was like a pregnant guy, out of the blue I'm so eager to get certain food and indulged in it. We *with colleague* had Italian pasta in a high-end restaurant *at least for me* which located in Jaya 33, namely d'italianekitchen.

      It was a farewell lunch with Becky and Gurpreet, kinda nice environment and for price wise, we paid what it worth =P though sometimes I'm quite in to cheap, nice, affordable food place, but I don't mind gone high-ended once in a while, moreover, RM 25 for a pasta, once in a while, I can't afford meh??? LOL

Carbonara Bacons

Carbonara with bacon was the first dish served...smell really nice but it wasn't mine, belongs to Justin. I wander if I could take a bite when he was away...

 

Spaghetti seafood olio

 It was Kar Man's order, it looks kinda attractive for me, but I'm not taking seafood lol

...according to her, she wasn't really enjoy the seafood, I guess it was because the way it was cooked, the taste of seafood would be kinda mono, well, seafood was meant to be cooked in that way, if they are fresh enough, otherwise I would say kam heong style for seafood is better...

Smoked duck meat spaghetti with garlic

      I like smoked salmon, same for this smoked duck meat, surprisingly it taste like ya-shang from Taiwan, one kind of smoke duck meat, served as snack while having beer or alcohol drinks. 

      Just did not expect that it taste nice with spaghetti too, wandering if ya-shang came from Italy? or people in Taiwan invented smoked duck meat in the first place?

      Anyway, the grilled garlic slice was very blended with the taste of smoked duck and with the spaghetti of course, though I taste a little like having teppanyaki because of the garlic  XD

Summary:

• Price: RM 20+ and above
• Food: Good place for Italian food and pasta. You will pay what it worth
• Location: Jaya 33,  Seksyen 14, Petaling Jaya

Kee KaHiong Pan Mee

Pan mee is one of my favorite meal all times, suitable for breakfast if I'm bored with bread or ham; suitable for lunch if I already had a heavy breakfast and don't feel like having mixed rice; suitable for dinner if I'm afraid of oily food for dinner.

The most deep impression of Pan Mee during my childhood was a pan mee stall that is in the middle of kepong market, and all the while pan mee is something u could not find in restaurant lol but nowadays it seems like upgraded and moves into restaurant, I can find many restaurant specialized in selling pan mee, in almost everywhere (but NOT all of them tasty, some are awful, really awful...)

Here are one that I found nice n it is near my place: Kee KaHiong 記家鄉板面

The price for the food is reasonable pan mee is rm5.80 =D

 the stock is good, and the texture of the mee is chewy

Shrimp chilli & Dried galic chilli

and they do serve these 2 kind of chili which i find it delicious xD of course they serve other food like pumpkin pork rib porridge, i guess it will be another good stuff of their restaurant.

Red Eggs & Dumpling & Eating

      So fast, dumpling festival again...and so fast all the good's price raises so fast...my grandma intended to save and anyway the total amount to get all the ingredients for the dumpling was abt RM 160+  = = sounds so expensive

      The day before the dumpling festival, went to my uncle's baby's one-month birthday dinner in ss2, New Paris. The food there as usual: nice, filling, fast and the price is affordable = D

*oppss...sorry for the ugly pic I have here, busy chatting with cousin forgot to take nice food pic anyway da lighting is bad, my phone is soso and I donn't have photoshop here XD

# I need veggie badly on tomorrow meal = = lapar sayur lol

De Pastry Chef Cake & Cafe

      Last month my cousin celebrated 2 year-old birthday. The party took place in this lovely cafe in Menjalara, Kepong. It is near my place, prices are affordable and the food is awesome.

They serve high-tea buffet from 12noon to 3pm, the price is around RM 15 - RM17 per head with various of pasta, local specialty like curry, fried mee hun etc but the awesome one I shall highlight is the carbonara spaghetti and CAKES, well, all the cakes and dessert over there is simply awesome, the most famous one is the cheese tart~ ❤

       But I guess the main reason we went for this cafe was due to its dessert, the rest of the food was not out main course that day~ lol

      Other than cakes and dessert, they still have other nice food...I'm getting a bit too sleepy and tired waiting all these picture to be uploaded, the file is big thou, anyway here is the quick view:

• Style: Pastries, Pasta, Cakes & Dessert
• Recommended: Carbonara spaghetti, Cheese tarts, cakes & desserts
• Price: RM 15 - RM17 per head for high tea buffet
