Hennessy Lor Mee & yummy Ais Kacang at Setapak!

I first read about this intriguing creation in this article “Food Tale promotion by Knife Cooking Oil” which was published in The Star.

As usual, it took me months later to visit the shop, with the usual obstacles of distance, time & the lack of an adventurous eating partner.

So one weekend, I decided to hell with it, if no one is keen then I’m going alone. And I ended up having 4 people joining me right after I have declared so. Funny how things turned out sometimes huh?

ps: (And today is my 2nd visit! Food IS consistent!) *stamps approval*

Alcoholic Gelato @KopiBar, Centrepoint BU. Super cheap & good!

At a most obscure corner in an already little known nor high traffic shopping complex Centrepoint, Kopi Bar is a little gem of an eatery that deserves more patronage than it has currently.

Truth to be told, myself wouldn’t have given this place a second glance if I hadn’t read about their ALCOHOLIC gelato. Yup, you read right. In this era of decadent desserts, imported expensive gelatos & innovative “ice cream” such as Tutti Frutti & Kindori (Read about the cempaka blast frozen ice cream HERE), this charming unassuming kopitiam cum bar’s winning ace (for me at least) is their unique homemade gelato infused with alcohol.

Surabaya food in KL?? Got… in Dataran Sunway Mentari!

According to an Indonesian foodie, Selba, Indonesia food is an exciting, tongue teasing medley of flavours. Surabaya is East Java, with its cuisine predominantly salty/savoury, Yogyakarta is Central Java, usually sweeter on the palate while Bandung is West Java, neither sweet nor salty (huh?) & the ever famous Balinese food that we KL-ites have come to know of  (thanks to the same company that runs Ole Ole Bali, Bumbu Bali & The Waterlily – I call it unfair monopolisation! )  is spicy and pungent.

While I am still on the hunt for fellow foodies to try The Uma at The Strand (which is non-halal), I was alerted about a new restaurant in town. Some excited mentions on Twitter got my interest, and a further link send to my Facebook gave me all the details I need. Social Media, how would one live without it, especially now.  Heck, recently I have been hijacking recipes by copying someone’s tweets 😉

The restaurant was pretty easy to find, even for a directionally challenged individual like me.

In case you can’t read maps, it is located right in the middle of the row of the shop lots facing the Sunway Pyramid.

More food at Broga – pan mee & Ais kacang!

After gorging ourselves silly on wan tan mee & Ikan Bakar (previous post HERE ), amazingly some of us still have stomach space for more. Well, as much as I wanted to try the dry butter mantis prawn in Restaurant Ja Xiang, we didn’t think another heavy meal is a good idea.
With the sun beating on our backs, and tongues still on fire from the Super Spicy Chili Fish, I thought ABC is a more approprite alternative.

Like I said before, navigation in Broga town is very simple. On this same main street, I spied this little corner outlet en route to Broga Fish Recreational Park, and yes, the huge ‘ABC’ word got me hooked.

It is just opposite the Broga Police Station. Seriously hard to miss. Anyhow, GPS coordinates provided below.
