SunBurst KL 09 Opening: Sucked :( Cari Makan!: Ngau Kee @ Changkat Tong Shin :)

Yesterday was a fun a fair in many ways! Earlier part of the day, I spent my hours with Jian and Freddy (boon). Jian was late because his was running errands for his mom. After picking me up at 2 we headed over to Freddy’s place before driving to Pavilion using NPE followed up by Smart tunnel haha. Pay toll non-stop ahaha! Had Madam Kwan for lunch! Nasi Lemak was quite a treat even though the curry chicken meat was not as tender as desired! On the downside the chendol was horrible!! Pictures are on Jian’s new 8mp hand phone and not mine haha. He got new high tech toy wei!! After that we braved 2 hours of jam before I reached home! I wonder how long more did Jian take to get home! LDP was such a biatch !@@#

 

Later at about 8 Ziyan picked me up before getting Homie and Yobi. We headed over to Pavilion again! We were going to see which artiste would attend Malaysia’s “big day out” called Sun Burst. We were quite punctual reaching there at 9pm. But finding the place was a pain in the neck! After a long and tedious search, we found the place only to find we were NOT ALLOWED IN even though we were INVITED.

 

F!CK THE FAKE SHIT MAN! What the hell is wrong with Malaysian organizers!!@ After 30 minutes of waiting we were allowed in though :S. Not everyone were allowed in even then haha. Just a couple of us. We were given headphones to experience Malaysia’s Silent Disco. Such a sad night :( The crowd were so chatty instead of having fun. Yobi asked, “hey why can’t we have fun like them?” I’m like “How is this fun :(?” Homie had his hands in his pocket and Ziyan was sitting down by the side. We had this pose for an hour or two for the night before we got the artiste list and seriously bored as well.  It was down hell boring!@#$ Not to mention there were several fake shits with that weird accent in their speech. We looked at each other and put up the “what the hell” eye. THIS EVENT I WOULD DESCRIBE AS EPIC FAILURE!!! Nonetheless we would have Cold Play doing their stuff in this coming event as well as Prodigy. These two are the “thing” for me if I actually attended Sun Burst KL!!

 

Nonetheless, the night has not ended yet. I was famished when we left, so we did a little driving and ended up at Jalan Alor and Changkat Tong Shin area. In this cari makan event, Ngau Kee noodle shop became a contender in the battle for the best beef ball noodles haha!

 

You won’t accept the fact that this humble store by the side of the road was actually one of the  best of its kind back in the good old days! Nonetheless, competition and modernization has somewhat toned the quality down a little and now this place is second when compared to Soong Kee beef ball noodles!

 

Why is that so? well if you’d ask me, I very much prefer the minced meat (chu yok sui) topping at Soong Kee because it is cooked much finer and taste holy smoke! The one at Ngau Kee though is still tasty but not as good only. Truth to be said, this opinion would really differ for different individuals.  Like Ziyan’s dad prefers Ngau Kee compared to Soong Kee.

 

After enjoying a hearty meal, we left feeling rather satisfied. A large bowl of noodles @ $6 was a little on the pricy side when compared to Soong Kee. Furthermore, only 6 balls were given in contrast to 8 ball by Soong Kee. I also had a coconut water drink with some coconut flesh in it for $1.50! So enjoyyy! See? Even bad times can be good! Damn Sun Burst 09 love Food :)! On the way home the ipod had old tunes from the early year 2000 days playing. LFO was on with SummerGirls, Girl on TV and  Every Other Time. 98 degrees as well. We felt nostalgic back then. We also questioned the credibility of current boy bands. Why? Why? Why? Nonetheless we are all appreciative for what we enjoyed before! One weird thing is that I do not listen to much music back then haha.

Buddy Meetup!: Cari Makan @ Bumbu Bali, Puchong

Wahhh I really should be sleeping now :S!! But after having more than 12 hours of sleep earlier today, my body still feels so hyper! I guess I’ll just watch the Liverpool match at 4 and probably catch some sleep after that at about 6! So sien got dental appointment at 10 later :(!

 

Today the guys decided to go for dinner after not seeing each other for less than a week lol. Wohoo gays united!! Met up with the usual peeps for dinner @ Bumbu Bali in Bandar Puteri, Puchong. This unfamiliar eatery among the PJ crowd is fast becoming a popular dining place. Occupying two floors which are usually packed during dinner, this place serves good food in a Indonesian environment at a price I would deem fairly expensive.  Most meals here are priced between $20 to $40. Nonetheless the quality of the food is uncompromised although there were instances where they would serve you uncooked chicken according to Pauline! @.@ Nonetheless they would make up for it by replacing the dish as well as a complementary dessert on the house!!

 

My drink :D, Bumbu Bali’s house specialty the Barley Lime drink. Sounds common but the taste isn’t!

 

Two fat boys & two fat meals! Yobi and I! And ohh the beer! Corona @ 16 bucks wtf? It only costs 2 bucks back in Aus!@! Only Zs and Ziyan so generous to pay for such expensive beverages.

 

Justin a.k.a Homie still hiding under his cap even at night.  Why man Justin? Whyyy!?

 

Speaking of gay united , the three of us ordered Nasi Campur Bumbu Bali which cost us $30 each hoho! This dish is served with squid, prawns, fish, “kangkung belacan”, some awesome satay and also your choice of Chicken Rendang or Beef Rendang. Justin and I had chicken while Yobi had beef. The Chicken Rendang is soo delicious! Next time I might request for a switch. More Chicken Rendang and no squid!

 

Also joining us that night was Zi Yan and this girl whose name I still don’t know despite going to Zouk and the same high school with her!! haha.

 

Unknown girl’s burger! Who orders a burger in Bali mannnnn! Really so ang moh kia! But don’t pray pray wei! She says the burger is nice! Even Yobi and ZS agreed!

 

Burger Meal @ 20 bucks? I think this is more worth it than Carl’s Junior! But the burger got no bacon on it making it look less tempting compared to Chiliz.

 

This was Ziyan’s meal. Half a serving of grilled chicken with rice. He said he loved the chicken at the start haha not sure about the end. Despite only having one choice of meat, he was bloated by the time he finished his meal. He did complain though that his chicken was a little overcooked!

 

This is noob Zhan Sheng hahaa! No good picture of you la ZS! Sorry man! The rest all so grainy or too dark or blur :(  ZS ordered Kambing Bumbu Bali but alamak! Eh zs no comment on your food ke? I did remember him saying “Damn big man!” Nothing more nothing less. But I tasted some of his mutton. Tasted like the Hong Kong salt and pepper style in which I had at China Bar the last time I went Melbourne!

 

At the end of the day, the bill amounted to $200+ for the 6 of us. Felt very very satisfied!!!My lunch was of frankfurters and a hardboiled egg onlyyy haha. After dinner we went over to ZS house :) Played Risk but I was much more interested in ZS’s Maldoodle or Maltese crossbred with  Poodle puppy called Terry! Super duper cute wei!

 

But ZS is a bad master. Feed the poor puppy like 3 tablespoons of dog food only! And say he doubled it after getting some advice from Dr Lee yesterday! What in the world ZS!!@#! Give him  at least half a cup please! If not later I report you to SPCA! hehe jkjk! But really, Terry is all bones!

 

PS: And I know the reason why I still do not know the girl’s name!!! It’s because every time I ask, you all will forget to tell me her name because you were all too busy telling me “what the hell wei! how can you not know her name”  aahaha.

Cari Makan: Hor Fun @ Lee Tong Kee & Dim Sum @ Marco Polo

My cravings for food never dies and this seems to have taken a toll on my “diet” haha. Oh well, shedding another 1 or 2 kilos to achieve ideal weight shouldn’t be too hard :P After lapsing an impressive self measured performance in the pool I was feeling hungrier than ever! Dad and I decided to go pass the city centre to see whether we can get any good eats. After driving awhile, we passed by a half-century old eatery called Lee Tong Kee which was and still is famous till this day for its decent pricing and good noodles! Even Malaysian Newspaper The Star cannot resist putting it up on the newspapers! Take a look HERE.

Old as it is, the noodles still taste good and original according to my dad. He’s been patronizing this place for ages since the current boss’s father was in charge! Now her dad has gone with her sister to open one shop in Singapore! ^^

Significantly lower in MSG compared to most places in KL, the Prawn and Shredded Chicken noodles is a good eat! Especially to people sensitive to MSG. For me on the other hand, I think I would not mind a pinch of MSG in my noodles to give me the extra kick :D Also we ordered another dish to complement to noodles as there were no wantons to go with it because the supplier has not delivered the wanton skin yet. We had:

While steamed chicken skin is a put off due to the soft slimy feel of it (not to mention tasteless), the tender chicken meat served the classic way with oyster sauce dressing was really lovely.  The chicken meat was really nice! Smooth and not overcooked yet not traces of bleeding which is often evident at chicken rice stalls that can’t cook chicken properly!@#!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also another good eat in which I had today was Marco Polo restaurant located in Wisma Lim Foo Yong. This place is really good! Unfortunately I did not take any pictures for this meal :( The roast pork there is really one of the best I’ve had ahaah! At 16 bucks a serve of two long strips, this crispy and tasty skinned dish is heavenly! The dim sum there was quite nice as well, they had this scallop dim sum which was very tasty! Oh and their steamed pork ribs dim sum is definitely one of a kind! Steamed with a variety of Chinese herbs and yam, the amazing way in which the flavors fuse made it really delectable!

This picture ain’t mine but it is the best representation for the roast pork I had @ Marco Polo today!

Marco Polo when I looked it up over the net, is one of the better eats in KL nowadays. Despite being overshadowed by other famous franchise like Overseas, this place still lives through all the competition. A worthy try which does not cost too much in my opinion. The pricing is considered normal these days and the peaceful atmosphere will definitely give you a peace of mind while enjoying dim sum, a meal once considered a Chinese fine dining in the older days.

On my recent chinese eats!~

Overseas Restaurant @ Jaya One sucked real bad in service and the roast baby pig/ suckling pig or Yue Chue had a porky taste which spoils the taste.  Chinese New Year over population? Or poor management? On the contrary, I really liked the Lap Mei Fun!

Damansara Palace @ Mutiara Damansara was total ownage on the suckling pig on the other hand. Also, the awesome fish dish engaged me to into my second serve! Personalized service by the restaurant staff made the meal extra special too! Probably because my aunt knows the people there.

Canton I @ One Utama, the baby of Dragon I was not bad, the price as acceptable and the egg tarts were quite a treat! However, the havoc during lunch hours was quite a put off.
