驰名桥下云吞面 [Alor Setar Famous Wan Tan Mee]

This post will be about a family-business which sells Wan Tan Mee at their own house. Uh-huh, if you're finding for this Wan Tan Mee restaurant, do think of a single storey terrace house ☺

This is the plate of Wan Tan Mee which really looks small in portion when it
first arrived on our table. But as we all know, Wan Tan Mee is pretty standard.
If you order small, you get 1 ball of noodle. If you order big, you get two balls!

Now, this is the add-on soup that we ordered. Unlike the normal dried
Wan Tan Mee, you do not automatically get a bowl of free soup together
with the noodles. You have to order it separately like this.
PS: THIS IS TO DIE FOR. YUMMMMMS!

I remember that we reached the stall around 6.30PM in the evening. Since we were there before the opening time, we had to wait before they take orders. By the time they took our order, there was already a small little crowd sitting around waiting for food. To order, just go to the stall and tell the person what you want to eat. There's not much choice really. Just Wan Tan Mee, Wan Tan soup, white chicken and also char-siew. After ordering, be prepared to wait patiently for your food to come. I think boyfie and I waited for like more than half an hour before that mini-plate of noodle was placed on our table.

This shop is located below a bridge, the Jalan Alor Mengkudu bridge. Well, I call it that way because I saw a road sign labeling the road towards the bridge as Jalan Alor Mengkudu. I am not from Alor Setar so I can't really describe the place well. 

We parked the car right outside the terrace house, so I was able to take a shot
of the front of the shop. Well, the shop is on the left side, not the gated right side.

We gave our order to this uncle. He has been cutting chicken and pork ever
since we set foot in the house. But he remembers our order well :)

The boss of this stall would be the man behind there, holding the super
delicious looking piece of char siew! In this picture, you can also see that
they also bought the other house on the right hand side. Many customers
found a table and sat there to wait for their noodle.

Location of the shop:

Stall 1001B, Bee Bee Park

Jalan Alor Mengkudu,

Alor Setar.

Opening hours:

7.00PM - 11.30PM

(CLOSED ON SATURDAYS)

Spaghetti Aglio Olio

It's been quite some time since I last posted a recipe. To be honest, I didn't really have the mood to blog about anything as I was really busy with Chinese New Year. I did manage to cook some dishes during that period so I took some pictures while cooking and decided to save it for later. So, today I am going to post about my favourite pasta dish, Spaghetti Aglio Olio ♥

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil

2 medium-sized garlic cloves

400g of spaghetti

3-4 chili padi

A sprinkle of black peppercorns

A few stalks of basil

Salt

Han Woo Ri Korean Restaurant [Taipan USJ]

Back in the holidays, I brought my Yeobo and also my old classmate Yong Qi to have some Korean food because Yeobo was having this samgyupsal craving since months ago. We didn't want to go back to Daorae because we have already tried that several times. Despite the fact that we know Korean barbeque probably has all the same stuffs and taste pretty much the same anywhere, I guess I just wanted to try a new place. I googled around for Korean restaurants in Taipan USJ and to my surprise, there is another Korean restaurant located at the other end of the building where Daorae is situated. So I thought to myself, "Han Woo Ri, it is."

Since there were only the 3 of us, we ordered a minimum of 2 person serving. Of course, we ordered the original samgyupsal and the other one was probably some marinated pork belly too. I don't really remember clearly now. Once we were seated and done placing our order, the waiter started to serve us our starter which is soup. Now, this is not done in all places so I think I should give a plus point to this restaurant for serving one of my favourites!

Ooooh, me loves soup! ♥

Then, up comes the samgyupsal and also the other side dishes.

I am hungry, just by looking at this right now.

Oh, not to forget! We also ordered a nice plate of ddukbeokki (korean rice cakes)

I love the rice cakes... but I like the plate even more! It's so antique!

I don't remember the prices of the dishes but I can tell you that it is around the same price range as all the other Korean restaurants. By the end of the day, I remember the 3 of us splitting the bill and each of us had to pay RM25-30. For a meal like this, I guess it is not cheap, so to say, but it is reasonable if compared with others. Oh by the way, I really like this restaurant because their waiters are so polite. Like... they smile ALL THE TIME. Whatever you need, they can get it for you in like half a minute! The service is really good and that is a double plus point! ☺

Location of the restaurant:

3rd Floor

47620 Subang Jaya,

Opening time:

Burger Bakar Abang Burn [Alor Setar]

About a month ago, I went to Alor Setar again with my friends to have a day trip for them to settle some stuff. Once we reach there, we had Nasi Lemak Ong. To my friends, it was their first time having Nasi Lemak Ong and they were all very excited about it. Obviously, they loved it very much too, despite the fact they had to queue very long. At night, before heading back to campus, all of us decided to have burger bakar for dinner. If you're Malaysian, I'm sure you know burger bakar is the 'in' thing now! There is burger bakar everywhere!

So, the one we went to was Burger Bakar Abang Burn. This one is quite famous and I guess many people have been talking about it. When we finally reach there on that fateful night, it was raining cats and dogs. Thank goodness there was a huge umbrella in the car to at least give us some cover but our sandals were totally soaked through. The only parking was at the roadside in front of the shop so I guess there isn't much we can do to avoid the rain.

So this is the exterior of the shop. It was raining heavily so it is unavailable
for seating.

The interior of the shop is brightly lit and clean. Thank goodness, this is
a burger bakar shop rather than a stall only.

So, we took turns to order at the counter. The moment we enter the shop, we will see the grill and cashier anyway, so you can make your order there. 

This is the menu if you guys want to know the items and also the price.

Yup, this is where you order it. 

If they have a few patties already grilled before you arrive, then you need not wait long before your burger is served. If what you order is not yet cooked, then it does take some time for the burger to be ready. So, if you're hungry, ask them which burger can be served up the fastest! :D

This is my friend's burger. I guess it must be one of the Supremo's that comes
with three sausages and also cheese. But I don't remember how much he paid for it!

This is my Burn Cheesy Lamb ♥ RM 11.50
PS: The onion rings on top were pretty much cold, though.

Happy eatin' ☺

Pajeon [Korean Pancakes]

Basically, I only manage to try out one other recipe during my year end break despite it being two weeks long. Many unexpected situations popped up during the hols which made it really busy and non-enjoyable at the same time. Anyway, I made pajeon which are basically korean version of the pancakes. It is hot and savoury at the same time, so I really love it. Totally my kind of food, heehee ♥

Pajeon ♥

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of All-Purpose Flour

1/2 cup of water

50-100g of scallions

1 large egg

Cooking oil

Gathers Cafe

There is this little cafe called the Gathers Cafe which is pretty near Jalan Raja Uda. It is a pretty cute and cosy cafe which serves great coffee and dessert. The only down-point is that the cafe has a hell lot of rules for its customers to follow. This is the first time I enter a cafe with a rule board and some of the rules are really ridiculous. For example, NO COMBING HAIR? really...?

Nah, you don't say? O.O

Since it is almost Christmas time when I visited this cafe with my friends, the interior of the cafe was beautifully decorated with jolly christmas stuff ☃

The lovely thing about this cafe is that it serves cute little ice cream snow man desserts. You get your ice cream in a bowl and another small cup containing espresso. You're suppose to pour the espresso on to the snowman and eat it together. It tastes really, really good :D

Soooo cute ♥ Snowman Espresso RM 11

This is the Banana Waffle. RM 6. I think the taste is so-so only for this.

And, because we had to wait quite some time before the desserts come, I even had time to take picture of the menu! HAHA :D I am not sure if the menu will change according to season like Christmas, New Year, etc. Still, hope it is useful to you guys ☺

Location of the shop: 

155 Jalan Raja Uda, 

Butterworth,

12300 Penang

Opening hours: Lunch till about 10PM.

Moustache Houze Cafe

Right after our trip to the 3D Interactive Museum (near the jetty) in Penang, we were so thirsty and tired so we headed to Penang Road to whack some few bowls of cendol which was too satisfying! Problem is, after our cendol whacking session, we didn't know what else to do to fill our time so we decided to head over to the Moustache Houze which is quite famous apparently.

PS: It is not easy to find parking around that area.

This is the interior of the cafe. I took this picture directly from the back most
of the shop so we can see almost the whole downstairs of the cafe this way.
The stairs leads to the other section of the cafe upstairs and the toilet is there.

Heehee, this is my beautiful friend sitting on the special swing chair!
The weird thing is, the swing chair doesn't swing. It is fixed.

The whole of the cafe is beautifully decorated so we can all enjoy our time
there, lazing around, taking some pictures while enjoying our drinks.

Honestly, we were all pretty full with all the cendol in our tummies. The only reason why we stepped into the cafe was probably we had nowhere to go and was finding for a nice place just to sit down. So, we didn't order much to drink or eat. My friend and I both ordered their special ice cube soda drink which I personally think is really expensive. But since it was something special that I've only seen in this cafe, I tried it anyway.

Here it is! The front glass contains kiwi ice cubes while the back glass has
chocolate ice cubes in it. We are suppose to pour the soda on to the ice cubes
and drink it. One set costs RM 11.90.

Do you see the moustache shaped paper cuttings on the straw? Well, most people would use that and place it over their mouths to take pictures and stuff. We were all so tired that we totally ignored those moustaches. It was not until we left the place that someone said, "Oh! We didn't take picture with the moustache thingy!"

Oh wells! :P

Location of the shop:

No. 24, Lebuh Campbell,

10100 George Town, 

Penang

Restoran Kapitan at Bukit Mertajam, Penang

Exams are over! Met up with good friends on last Friday night for a movie and some lepak-session after a long time of not meeting each other. Thank goodness I decided to arrange this meet up because I was invited to go to Penang with them for a day trip the next day. And that means, loads of yummeh food on the way!

We left SP around 12.30 in the afternoon with empty stomachs so we were definitely in need of some lunch. One of my friend suggested this Restoran Kapitan which is a mamak restaurant like most of the others around Malaysia. They have pretty good food, I must say!

This is the rice station where you can choose whatever side dish you like. 

The overall interior of the shop is well-ventilated with fans and stuff.
It is also pretty clean and neat compared to other mamak restaurants.

This is the other side of the kitchen and as you can see, there are big menus
and pictures to help you decide what to eat!

A waiter came over to take our order, and within 10 minutes of ordering, our food came. It was pretty quick service and the food was served hot. This was definitely a plus point for hungry youngsters like us at that moment! 

This was my Cheese Garlic Naan with Tandoori Chicken ♥ RM 10.50

Garlic Naan with Tandoori Chicken ♥ RM 9.50

The famous claypot Nasi Briyani ♥ RM 8+

and this is Milani ♥ I don't know the price for this, heehee.

After eating, we went over to the counter to pay. It is easy to pay separately because there wasn't any charges for tax in our bill. I totally like that :D

Location of the shop:

Jalan Perda Selatan,

Bukit Mertajam,

14000 Penang
