Jun Kee Restaurant

Wow, I just realized that my last 5 posts was about food. This was not intentional I assure you, just that in the last couple of weeks I've had the pleasure of eating at a few decent joints and I thought why not share the love? haha... Well, so this new place (it's not really new actually, just that it is new to me) is located at Taman Midah Cheras and it's called Jun Kee. Now the cool thing about this place is that right now they are having a special promotion until the month of Sept and each dish only cost RM8 - RM12 depending on what you order. Do note that this promotion is only available on the weekdays. I was there about 4 days ago and it had a pretty decent crowd. There were 7 of us and we ordered like 6 dishes including a fish and the bill only came up to RM96. Dishes were really tasty and if you do go, order the kangkung belacan. Not many places do this well, and this is one place that does. Will be going to another new place tomorrow, keep watch for post on it. =)

You won't believe what I found !

Yesterday while taking a walk at the Ramadan Bazaar at Len Seng Cheras, I happen to stumble upon a rather unique stall. I was looking for my ayam percik which I usually do during the fasting month but somehow the stall that was selling it didn't seem to appeal to me that much so I moved on, it was then that I saw this stall which was selling chicken wing and right next to it was what you are seeing in the picture now. Ok, for those of you who can't seem to figure what it is, let's just say that it's somewhere in the lower region of the chicken. haha...well needless to say I got me a stick, wanted to get more though. In retrospect I think I should have. Well there's always tomorrow. Bishop's nose anyone? 

Lau Heong Seafood Restaurant

When you think of food in Sentul, what comes to mind? Well there is this seafood restaurant called Lau Heong Seafood Restaurant that serves a number of killer dishes. Apparently the must haves here are the Claypot Fish Head Currry, Pig Trotters (Ohhh my), Creamy Sotong/Prawns, Nam Yue Fried Chicken and the soup based lala... Not too hard to find if you're familiar with Sentul. If you're not, there are a few left and right turns. The restaurant is actually near the Sentul LRT Station. Need I say more... Lau Heong Seafood Restaurant

Downtown KLIA Wantan Mee

Sluurp! Check out the Siew Yuk man. For those of you who think that good food cannot be found at KLIA, you just might be wrong. There is this obscure wantan mee - chicken rice place at Downtown KLIA opposite Concorde Inn Sepang. As you drive through the arch entrance, you'd probably won't expect to find anything remotely appealing there but but as with most good food joints, you could be situated at the ends of the earth and somehow people will hear about it and find their way there, especially the Chinese. If there is one thing we know how to enjoy, it is great food. Apparently all the KLIA taxi drivers know about this place and I can see why. Having arrived there we almost could not find a table. They don't take orders from the table, you'd have to line up. Needless no holds were barred when ordering the food. We had dry wantan mee, yong tau foo, steamed white chicken, chicken feet and wantan. (I think they ran out of char siew)  The next time you are around the area, you might want to drop by. I've taken the liberty to locate the place for you on google maps so that you don't have to. Click Here. Bon Appetite! Next post is on another awesome place I went to which will send your tastebuds to heaven. haha... 

Lookout Point Seafood

Walking down the road to Jerusalem today...this image  sort of reminds me of a song I sung many years ago at Putra Stadium. Okok. so I'm not exactly walking and neither does this road lead to Jerusalem but if you stay around Cheras, you would undoubtedly have heard of this place before. I've been there like 3 times but till now I am still not sure what it is called. All I know is that this place gets really crowded especially in the weekends, you would find tour buses, luxury cars and you'd have to get there really early or you might just find yourself waiting in line to get a table and mind you, there are lots and lots of tables. All I know is that it's near the Cheras Lookout point and it's on the way to Hulu Langat or something. To get to the restaurant you'd have to look for the puny little signboard which says Fish/Vegi Farm by the roadside and turn in, about 400 meters of tarred and dirt road later you reach a landing where the restaurant is situated. There is a huge fish pond, the buzz of a generator and a humongous load of cars. The food there is quite tasty and fresh cause they breed their own fish and grow their own vegetables. We were there recently to give a farewell to Emmy and Ben. Perhaps if you are around the area you might give it a try? I found a blog post about it, you can get the address from there. Seafood Vegetable Farm Restaurant Cheras

Kenwood Surprise


Wow. This is the first time I'm having a video instead of an image. Well, it all started yesterday evening after dinner that Jen and I decided to go to Ikano since we were around that area. If you've ever been to that place during the weekend you would know how close to impossible it is to find a car park. Anyway, I managed to find a spot somewhere which was sort of a 'self designated' extension of a parking bay. Well, one has to get creative at times like this. Anyway, it was decided that Jen and I would meet at Harvey Norman. Apparently they were having some sort of sale going on and Jen saw on the sales catalogue (those are dangerous things I tell you) that a particular mixer had like a Rm300 discount which I thought was quite impressive.

She had been complaining about a cheap RM40 hand mixer I had bought her many months ago which at the lowest speed would send her dough flying all over the place, so it was clearly unsuitable. Apparently mixing pastry requires some level of delicateness for it to come out just right. But what do I know? I'm only familiar with the consumption part not the commingling part. What I can tell you is that we walked in with no intention of making any purchase, just wanted to look at the kind of models they had and what the discounted one looked like. Well as you can see from the video that it didn't quite work out as planned. About 5 minutes before the shutters came down, out we came with a trolley carrying a brand new Kenwood Prospero. I won't say how much damage it has caused except that the banks allowed a 12 month interest free installment. So that was probably the only reason why I felt more at ease to go ahead with the purchase. That and with the hope that the machine might potentially help her produce even better stuff. =)
