Taman Muda Tai Chow

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Yeah, it’s Tai Chow, the likes of Hokkien Mee, Kong Fu Chao, Singapore Fried Bihun, Loh Mee, Fried Rice, etc etc..

This place is definitely the best, because it’s opened from evening til dawn..

This stall is situated at Taman Muda morning market (pasar pagi)..

As suggested in the map, make a U-turn at BHP and you’ll reach the stall..It’s right behind the traffic light junction..

The other day, I had my dinner there Jason and Hikaru..We ordered their specialty, Singapore Fried Bihun and Fried Rice..


*Singapore Fried Bihun*


*Fried Rice*

When you want to have Tai Chow, you cannot leave the belacan behind..The belacan here is good too..Not too hot and spicy, the mild spiciness is just right..


*Sambal belacan*


*Mouthful crisp*

The Singapore Fried Bihun here is definitely very different to many others..

While most place fried the bihun til quite thin and soft, here they maintained the crispyness and texture of the bihun..


*Nothing special but it’s good*

Other than Singapore Fried Bihun and Fried Rice, I would recommend Stew Yee Mee (Man Yee Mee), Kong Fu Chao (Yin Yong), and Fried Sotong..

They are simply good, if not the best..

Priced at RM5.50 for 1 pax serving and RM8 for 2 pax serving..

Opens from evening 6-7pm till dawn 4-6am, when the market is ready to do business..

DGMB Nigel’s Birthday @ TGIF, Pavillion

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

It was Nigel’s birthday on the 7th July..So we DGMBians gave him a so-called surprise birthday luncheon celebration at TGIF at Pavillion on Saturday..

Well, most of the time I’m the last one to reach a daytime gathering..Moreover I just slept for 4 hours before I woke up..

Been out yamcha til 5.30am and reached home and bathed and all, I slept at 6.30am and woke up at 10.30am..

This time I’m the first 5 who arrived, leaving 10 other people late for about an hour wtf..

But anyway, here’s what we did that day..Photo credits to Hwei Ming..


*The early birds*

That’s David, Stanley (red), photographer Hwei Ming, Josephine and I..

I’ve to force myself up from the bed and to pay RM3 for the first 1 hour sitting there without doing anything wtf..LOL..


*Then came birthday boy Nigel


*And other late comers as well*

The girls, Kelli (green top, hidden), Pamsong (far left), Amy (purple), Sheng Mae (far right) and sister Sheng Li (back)..

Looks like Aronil and Dillon missed out another gathering..And of course Sheon is so damn far, so he couldn’t make it..


*Thomas and Nadia


*Pamsong and Kelli* 


*Randy, Stanley, and Joshua


*Birthday boy flank by the girls..I’m not so sure why HweiMing is there*

DGMB BBQ Party - Aftermath

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

DGMB FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~!!! *raise hands up in the air and profusely shaking crotch*

It was the “Definitely Gang, Maybe Bang” (DGMB) barbecue party last Saturday..Had it at Nigel’s grandma’s place..

Overall, the party was awesome coz almost everyone was there but Aronil and Dillon..

The party started quite early though, at freaking sunny 4pm~!!


*L>R - Will, June, Joshua, Michelle, Aaron*


*Me, David, Josephine, Nigel, Hweiming*


*Randy the man*


*Preparing BBQ chicken with Jentz*


*Chickens, balls, frankfurters*


*Bitching session*

There’s Nadia and Pamsong enjoying the limelight of being a celebrity, by flashing flashlights using DSLRs..


*Kelli, Jen, and Jen*


*Inside the ‘chamber’ playing games*

Stanley looked sexy in that basketball jersey..LOL!


*Aaron and Thomas pwned in some games or something*


*Amy, Jen, David, Sinyee, Jen*

All in all, we had fun, loads of them..And too bad Sheon reached the place quite late because he was traveling from Kedah..Maybe next time for the group pic :P

Hopefully we could do something similar with a bigger group next time..

Father’s Day Delight

Monday, June 16th, 2008

It was Father’s Day on Sunday that me and my sisters didn’t miss the chance to go out for dinner with my dad..

Not a very cozy one but it’s fine no matter where we eat as long as we eat with our loved ones..Of course, not those horrible ones..

We went to Taman Billion’s Cowboy Delight, another average Western food restaurant at the Western food shoplot-joint..

The main outlet is at Taman Rasa Sayang, a little further from the old Phoenix Plaza at Taman Len Sen before you pass through the toll plaza..

The prices are more reasonable compared to Chillis, TGIF, and the likes..If you have tried Kaki Corner, Rendezvous, and the likes of it you’ll know..

And so, we ordered the followings..


*Australian Deer Meat* 

Well, we just ordered it because the name sounds exotic, Australian Deer Meat wtf..

But the taste? Tasted like beef..So I’m not sure whether it’s really deer meat or just beef..


*BBQ Sirloin Steak*

I’ve no comment about sirloin steak coz I don’t really know how a sirloin steak should taste or feels like..

But I don’t really like the fat part in the middle of it..It’s a bit tough and quite bland..


*Grilled Lamb and Chicken* 

No bad comment bout the chicken..Tasted just like any other Western restaurants there..

Lamb, taste not bad..Quite tender, not as expected to be a bit tough and hard..


*The usual Fish and Chips* 

Well I’m not really a fan of Fish and Chips but no bad comment too..It’s quite safe to order and it won’t go wrong coz it’s easy to cook..


*Grilled Tenderloin and Chicken* 

The tenderloin is quite good..As the name says, it’s quite tender..Not being specific on the cooking, it came out to be a bit of half done-ish..I’m surprised..

All in all, the food was not bad just that everything is quite cold on the inside..The black pepper sauce that goes with it was not hot enough too..

Hotter meat and more sauce would make the dinner a better experience..

You may order it in sizzling plate to keep its warmth but they charge RM2 for a sizzling plate on any of the dish..And additional of RM0.50 for extra sauce..

I guess that’s why they serve just the right amount of sauce?


*My family* 


*Me and Josephine* 

How’s your Father’s Day celebration?

Pan Mee @ Taman Maluri, Cheras

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

Well, as recommended by some comments in my old blogs, I went to try the Pan Mee at Taman Maluri, nearby Old Town..

Some said it’s the best that I should it..As a matter of fact this is my 8th Pan Mee entry..


*This is where the Pan Mee stall situated*

The Pan Mee is just under the huge umbrellas that you can see..


*Opposite of Old Town*


*Another shop that is situated on the diagonal opposite of the Pan Mee stall*

If you don’t know where is the Old Town in Taman Maluri, it’s just few rows before Maluri Inn/Hotel Maluri if you turn in from Public Bank..


*Soup base Pan Mee*


*The round type of Pan Mee*

You can order the normal torn type, shredded kuey-teow look-alike type, or this yellow-mee-rounded type..


*The dried Pan Mee*


*The chilly*

Most pan mee tastes quite the same..The answer to nice pan mee is the ingredients to make the soup, and also a nice hot flaming chilly..

The soup is quite thick compared to many places that I’ve tried..Nevertheless, it tastes fine for any noodle with think soup..

The dried one is rather different from anywhere else..Most pan mee used gravy of dark soy sauce that is cooked with mushrooms and minced pork..

But this stall is a bit different..It’s nothing close to dark soy sauce if you ask me..So I’m not sure what’s the ingredient but it tastes okay for me..

I especially like the minced pork as it’s quite easy chew..I guess it’s seasoned with tapioca powder..

They also have the spicy soup pan mee (ma lat pan mee)..But from what I saw in other stalls, I think this spicy soup is

So overall, it’s not the best that I’ve had and it’s not something to hoo-hah about..

If I’m not around that area, I wouldn’t purposely go there to have my meal..I would rather go to my favourite pan mee at Taman Miharja..

It’s easier to find parking there during peak hours and the distance is almost the same as Taman Maluri if I’m going from my house..

Plus the Miharja ones have nice cheap and tender pork balls to savor on..Where can you get additional pork balls of RM1 for 6-pieces? No where except Taman Miharja’s..


*Me and my sister finish everything in less than 15-minutes*

We had our lunch at 3.30pm and we were damn hungry..So, what’s your say?

Lim Kee Pan Mee @ Taman Taynton View

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Now, here’s another Pan Mee entry from me..I guess Pan Mee is the main food in my food category..

Perhaps Pan Mee could be found everywhere in KL’s corner, no?

Okay, here’s Lim Kee Pan Mee at Taman Taynton View in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur..

You know, the same row with the famous Jin Man Fish Ball Noodle in Taman Taynton also..

*Restoran Lim Kee Pan Mee*

There’s one thing different with this Pan Mee compared to some others..

Lim Kee serve the usual Pan Mee and also Pork Noodle..Otherwise, you can have Pork Pan Mee fusion..

That’s actually Pan Mee with normal pork noodle ingredients, i.e pork balls, minced pork, etc..

*The soup based normal Pan Mee*

*Dried Pork Pan Mee*

*Additional Sui Gao (dumpling)*

You can add-on Sui Gao or pork balls, but with minimum of 2 pieces of Sui Gao which cost RM2, RM1 for each..

I’m not pretty sure bout the pork ball but I think it costs almost RM0.50 per piece, and it’s so so only..

With RM1, I could have 6-pieces of tender pork balls at Taman Miharja Pan Mee..So I always give Lim Kee’s pork ball a go and order Sui Gao instead..

*Nice*

The price is quite reasonable, not especially expensive..

A normal Pan Mee or normal Pork Noodle would costs around RM4 for small and about RM4.80 for big, if I’m not mistaken..

For Pork Pan Mee fusion would costs slightly more, somewhere RM4.50 for small and maybe RM5.30 for big..Couldn’t really remember the price..

I would recommend this for a try, if you are in for Pan Mee and Pork Noodle..
