Pan Mee at Taman Mirhaja~~

This stall is located in front of a block of apartments where they operate from a makeshift stall, this place has no name but everyone knows it as "the pan mee place at Miharja" or "the pan mee place under the big tree". They make a few varieties here - the rough cut version known as Mee Hoon Kueh and the machine shredded noodles version. You get a choice between the dry version and soup here.

What I like about this place is the dough of the noodles is silky smooth. It seems the secret ingredients is butter! They're also very generous with their toppings - shredded black fungus, sayur manis leaves, crunchy ikan bilis, chopped coriander and deep fried shallot. Although there is also minced meat, it is very little thus making these noodles almost vegetarian. Another item they sell is the pork ball - delicious with dry cuttlefish bits.

The chili sauce is also potent with lots of chopped green chilies and seeds to give it the fiery heat needed. Help yourself from bottles they will place at your table when you get your bowl of noodles. The stall also sells drinks - herbal tea and cincau. The portions here are big - a generous bowl costs RM4.50 (large portion) which will come chockfull of ingredients.

Two types of pizza available - classic and specialty. The pizzas come in 3 sizes - 10, 14 and 18 inches. There is one type of pizza called four season pizza whereby you can chooose 4 flavours on a pizza. As I only been there once, I like the NY Classic with beef pepperoni slices. It is a simple pizza but very tasty probably because they use tasty beef pepperoni. The texture of the pizza is not chewy and is thin..nice..there is also no soggy bits in the middle with these pizzas....

the outlook of the shop....



This is the platter of yong tau foo..it includes lady’s finger, bitter gould, tau fu, chili and fish ball. Fish balls were notable very “bouncy”. The platter will go well with a group of people. Rice will be an option to go with the yong tau fu or you may more prefer eating it plain with the sweet sauce and the chili sauce.



The fried dumplings and fried foo chuk were v nice! The dumpling was hot. Every bite can feel the crunchiness of the cripsy skin and the mixed meat fillings.

Ikan Bakar Broga~~~

This is a wonderful place to eat grilled fish. It is located in a very remote area where it does not even exist in the map. To get to this place, you have to know the location of a very famous chinese temple in Broga. This temple is named "sek na tok". After you reach the front gate of the temple, take a turn to your left and go straight and you can see the restaurant on your left.

There is a lake beside the restaurant and mountains behind the restaurant. The environment is beautiful! The special cuisine of this restaurant is the grilled tilapia(非洲鱼). The tilapia fishes are reared in the lake and hence the fish served are fresh.

According to the villager, freshwater fish (淡水鱼) like Tilapia usually has a strong natural smell (泥土味)which attributes to the small number of people who prefer to eat these types of fish. However, at this restaurant, before the tilapia is being grilled, the fishes taken from the fresh water pond are transferred to the normal clean water pond for 3 days to clear the natural smell.

Tutti Fruitti Frozen Yoghurt~~~

frozen yogurt…that cold zingy tang on your tongue that is creamy and icily refreshing without the richness of an ice cream.... this shop...tutti fruiti is found at puchong IOI mall..fyi, there are other branches as well which is located at Sunway Pyramid, Bangsar Shopping Centre, Capital Square, TTDI and Berjaya Time Square.

The yoghurt are available in original,vanilla,chocolate,strawberry,lychee,grape,and etc. It charged RM0.53 per 100gm, which means you pay for how much you get...there are various toppings for you to choose as well to add on to the frozen yoghurt...This shop offers self-service, which means you have to go to the dispenser and take how much frozen yoghurt u want...

Prices are a bit high for a cup of frozen yogurt (ranging anywhere from rm8-rm15) especially since you can get gelato or ice cream for less…but if you love yogurt like I do or if you’re looking for ways to indulge while still being a bit healthy then I think it’s totally worth it!

Fried Porridge~~

Serdang, is a small town in Kedah. Sin Aik Kee, is an old restaurant which is famous for their specialty ‘char moay’ (fried porridge) and plenty of other varieties. This restaurant is quite new to many people although it has been around for more than a decade. I personally think it is inexpensive and worth the trip. It is probably advisable to make a booking before you travel all the way to this restaurant.

Fried porridge here is a semi-liquid rich in flavours and ingredients "soupy" rice. It's concentrated and is not as watery as how a porridge normally would be (regardless of Cantonese/Teochew's porridge). Therefore, theoretically, I think it is alright to call it a fried porridge since the fluid content of the porridge had already been reduced during the process of cooking.

‘char moey’ porridge... it was cooked with lots of ingredients – prawns, meats, salty meats, cuttlefish and thick black soy sauce.... the right combination makes it very flavourful....

Satay Celup!!~~~

Ban Lee Hiang “万里香” is a shop selling “Satay Celup” in Malacca. It is situated towards the end of Ong Kim Wee road. This eatery is known as one of the famous restaurants for serving Satay Celup. Definitely not to be missed if you’re visiting! Well, satay celup is actually a dish where raw or semi-cooked food like seafood, meat and vegetables on skewers are dunked into a boiling pot of diluted satay sauce. Imagine having steamboat with the soup substituted with satay sauce.

The concept of Satay Celup could be attributed to being a combination of lok lok and buffet steamboat. With a tray provided by the restaurant, customers would proceed to the huge refrigerators housing the large selection of food on skewers, pick their choices and start dipping away. Be prepared to wait on weekends and public holidays, because business is really that good.


the front view of the shop~~


the gurgling pot of satay gravy used for cooking the food on the stick is consistently good.... tasty, as with the right amount of spiciness and a good balance of peanutty flavour....

a vast selection of food items skewered with bamboo sticks to choose from the fridge. Each stick costs only 50cents or 60 cents so be careful of getting carried away...haha


fried wantans, fried beancurd skins sandwiched with fish paste, water convulvus (kangkung) formed into balls, and fishballs....



While different shops serves different types of food on sticks ranging from raw pork and poultry to expensive seafood, they almost always serve the same meat balls, fish cakes, meatballs and sausages, as well as Taiwan sausages....




Dip..Dip!..dip!!...
