Brunch at Pun Chun Noodle House, Kota Kemuning

Today is an off-day from work due to Hari Raya Haji holiday and I only woke up at mid-morning after the sunrise. How glad! It was better than weekends. I was so tired the day before and it left me falling asleep while playing world cafe on facebook. =.="

Okay, so what's for breakfast? uhh ... I meant ... What's for BRUNCH???

While I was browsing the net one day, I came across people introducing this well-known noodle house at Kota Kemuning. Have you all heard of Bidor Pun Chun Ark Tooi Mee (Duck Drumstick Noodle)??? Yes, I bet you have, but have you tasted it before? Hmmm, maybe ... but I've not. I only had their famous chicken biscuit (Kai Zai Peng) before.

Yeap, they have a branch at Kota Kemuning now. So what's more? Gotta give it a try and there was where I headed off to for brunch today. =)

They have variety of choices ranging from their popular Duck Drumstick Soup, Shredded Chicken, Curry Pork Ribs, Mushroom Chicken Feet, Char Siew & etc. to Rempah Nasi Lemak. You may opt to have their noodles in soup/dry servings or white rice. I would recommend their noodles, which is much alike the wantan noodles, but better in terms of it doesn't expand into 'fat' noodles after a period of time.

Beverages were good and reasonably priced. Pun Chun Duck Drumstick Noodles in Soup was good too. It is better and less oily compared to the other famous herbal duck drumstick noodles in Penang. But I still do prefer the one at Lucky Garden, Bangsar. It has the additional touch of uummph from chinese herbs, and I just love its clear and flavourful herbal soup.

My dad bought this sesame seed heong peah before we left the restaurant. The biscuit is good and tasty, similar to Penang Him Heang beh teh saw, but a little crispier.

Blue Reef Fish & Chips @ Tanjung Bungah, Penang

This should be one of my post here before I shifted back to hometown, but lazy bugs started residing. Anyhow, back to this long-outdated post.

Thanks to a friend, who recommended this place. It was a great dining place, serving good food indeed. I went there with WT one evening. We was a little lost somewhere at first, but thanks to her GPS phone, we're able to get there. The surrounding environment was peaceful as it was located in one of those housing areas at Tanjung Bungah, with a garden just across the road.

Menu from starters to beverages.

Varieties of dressings to choose from.

We had a serving of refreshing chamomile tea and a cup of aromatic cappuccino.

Here were what we shared; Glazed Paprika Chicken and Traditional Beer Batter Fish & Chips. The chicken was a little too stiff for our likings, but the fish & chips was good. We didn't know that beer can be mixed into batter for fish & chips and this dish went along very well with the recommended malt vinegar. Both servings were huge and we actually spent quite some time to clean up our plates, before heading for a walk around the garden and then back home.

When night falls, this was how the place would look like. Hope you don't lost your way there. :)

Exact location of this restaurant is at along Lebuh Lembah Permai 4. It's facing a well-lit opened garden.

Back ... Very Soon

Had been abandoning this blog for quite some time and it’s time to wrap up what had happened throughout this year … time to kill those lazy bugs =)

RAKUZEN Japanese Restaurant @ SS15, Subang

One Friday, as I stepped my foot off Aeroline bus from PG onto the street in front of Pyramid with an empty stomach, I thought my dinner would be at Pasta Zanmai. Instead, my brother brought us to RAKUZEN located at a row of shophouses directly opposite SJMC at SS15, Subang Jaya. The street Jalan SS15/5a was a little less crowded and dark, but the restaurant could be spotted easily. :)

This Japanese cuisine restaurant is well-decorated portraying a simply warm, cozy and pleasant environment to all its guests.

Food wise, they were pleasantly good indeed, just a little more pricey compared to other average priced japanese dining places. But I would say it's worth it for the qualities of food that you're served, as well as for the great comfy environment. =)

There were 5 of us and we ordered mostly alacarte (Soft-shell crab, chicken katsu, deep fried corn paste) to go with bowls of garlic rice and cha-soba. I ordered the saba shioyaki set for sharing as well since I wanted the miso soup and chawan mushi. :)

Oopsy, saba shioyaki (grilled mackerel) went MIA....I forgot to capture its photo... wahaha...

Penang Road Lobak @ Kheng Pin Cafe, Penang

Penang Road at Georgetown has the best LOBAK I ever had. I've been savouring this famous lobak in Kheng Pin Cafe situated at a junction along the Penang Road meeting Sri Bahari street, since I was small. =.=" Paiseh ya...it sounded like I'd been in Penang for so long... What I actually meant was whenever I visited and travelled to Penang before my working days here, my family and I would never miss the chance to have our lobak breakfast here. =D It was recommended by my grandaunt, which was indeed a good recommendation!

The uncle is always busy deep-frying those lobak like no other business. It seems like a non-stop task since the very minute they open their stall till all fresh ingredients are sold out in no time. Aunty and her daughter are extremely busy as well, taking down orders and serving the tempting plates of lobak to both their new and loyal customers. Sometimes, they don't even have the time to take your orders and they will just suggest you to take all available lobak they have at that particular period. If you plan to have the fresh juicy fish meat lobak, you gotta be early, otherwise it will usually be sold out. So, be early!!!

Varieties of lobak include fresh seafood lobak (fish, squid, shrimp), pork lobak, chinese sausage, popiah lobak, tofu, etc.

Br0ther's Wedding Night @ New Palm Grove Restaurant, Klang ~

2009 Dec - Brother's wedding dinner was held on the same night as the official wedding ceremony day. It was an extremely busy day for all of us, yet too little time for all the necessary preparations. (>.<)

Well, I didn't manage to capture all happy moments during the wedding dinner lo :( ... was busy throughout the night with something else rather than jumping/hopping/buzzing around being a camera girl, plus I was in my pretty golden high heels...muahaha =p. So, will have to depend on camera/video men for all those lovely photographs and videos dy. Yeah!

These food pictures were some of which I had captured earlier during the food testing day. They were exactly the same dishes served. =)

Uncle, aunt and cousins.

Bride and Bridesgroom thanked all their guests who had spent their lovely sunday evening with us.
