Food Hunt : Dinner at Pudu " Wai Sek Kai "

eversince i came to kl, i have dis thing of trying all the good nom noms in kl. bt most of the places i target are the things the locals eat or another word is called hawker food! haha


their hawker food is a little different compared to the ones i ate in melaka or penang. even if its the same, i really would like to know what is so nice bout this particular dish dat all the people is raving about. just being curious.


restaurants, i do go too. dun worry! haha


so yesterday we decided to drive down to pudu and explore their legendary pudu "wai sek kai" !


its located at jalan sayur and about 2km from the puduraya bus terminal..

em.. bout 8mins if u were to drive dere from the station :)

still have no idea where the place is? use Waze ba! hahahaha the best invention for sesat queen like me~ xD






back to the food. this is what we ate..

"sei ngan zai" fried chicken. this is not the 1st time trying this. a friend of mine actually brought me dere few years back and she highly recommended this stall.

ordered the large drumstick! meaning a drumstick + thigh.. both for only rm4.50

one of the best fried chicken i have tried. even better than KFC's original flavour fried chicken. the skin is cripsy n the chicken is juicy. looking at it now make me crave more now!! T_T

besides the normal chicken part, i see quite a number of people ordered bishop nose too! or aka chicken ass! hahaha 

if u r adventurous enough n can try.. but foe me.. its a no no.. xD

next. the salted duck egg fried koay teow! when this plate came, we thought they served the wrong one to us. cz it looks just like a normal koay teow without eggs! LOL

we asked the hawker few time and she insisted is the right order. so we just eat la.. n from the 1st mouth u cn taste the salted duck egg already. 

magic! you can feel the feeling bt u cant see it! hahahahaha

oh! this plate cost us only rm5.50. i find the price kinda reasonable cz they add in salted duck egg n yet the price is an average of kl price.

but 1 thing is dat, i would have prefer it to be a little bit more salty. the taste was kinda bland...hehe

"lok mei" or "leng chi kang"

its a dessert. they called it lok mei cz there were 6 types of ingredient in the dessert. the taste was nice bt kinda expensive. 

i find it overpriced! ><

rm2.80 for a super small bowl. the size of a bowl is like the size of my fist only.. or the size of a bowl that hawker used to measure the white rice in "chu char"

but if u were to say ok wat.. compared to cha time, black ball n so on. then fine. i have no comment :)

ok. dis wan.. i dunu wats da name. hahahaha  bt the stall is very obvious la. with lots of "ho chiak" tv show logo all around. its basiscally a combi of  few bbq cuttle fish + 2 stuff tau pok + 1cracker. and for the sauce? it just the typical rojak buah sauce with lots of groundnut.

but this thing cost us rm15! super expensive! total shock when the dis arrived! haha

luckily the taste kinda nice la, if not waste my money a.. bt the cuttlefish was toooooooooooo salty for my liking :(




so basically these 4 items are wat i gobble up yesterday nite. sorry body for being super unhealthy. and cholesterol, i bet you are gona grin for adding more numbers for u.. T_T

Dun forget to  follow me at Facebook :)

Food Review : Humble Beginnings @ Straits Quay, Penang

elo! im back with more food to make you droll..

taken you meal?

cz if your answer is a no, i bet u wouldn't want to continue scrolling now.hehe

so lately, the mille crepe trend had been blooming like mushroom after the rain. shops specialized in mille crepe seems to open everywhere around the neighbourhood. 1st we had Nadeje who are in this business for a looooooong loooooooong time. Then out came humble beginnings , vanilla cakes, The twelvecups and so on...

back to the tittle, lets talk bout Humble Beginnings today! :)


I present you Humble Beginning from Straits Quay, Penang!!! Humble Beginnings started on the 1st of October 2007 specializing in Mille Crepe. however, starting from 1st of March 2009, they also offer Cheese, Chocolate and Sponge Cakes.

So, this is their shop! the shop is super tiny at the corner of the ground floor. its near pappa rich side if im not mistaken :)

the interior...

love the cute lights on the ceiling!! so cute dat i just had to snap a pic of it!hehe

These are the goodie food we ordered! xD

Peanut Butter Chocolate

Lemon Cream Cheese

Cheese Cake

nutella banana

Like the nutella banana and the cheese cake the most!! At first i find this nutella banana flavour combi kinda weird but once i try it, awesome pawsome! As for the cheese cake, i like the feeling of having something to bite among the creamy cheese in your mouth.. hehehe


But overall, i find the mille crepe a little too creamy/oily feel for my liking. I still would have prefer nadeje instead for their variety n taste. As for the price, its RM9.90 per piece regardless of mille crepe, cheese cake or sponge crepe.


so the verdict?

mayb i will consider goin there again in the future as i have yet to try out their sponge mille. :)

you can go try if u have not had any mille crepes before..haha

business hour: open daily (12pm -10pm)

My Food Hunt: Vivo , AEON Bandaraya Melaka (near Starbucks)

Loha! Im back with more food!haha 

*warning! if you are hungry now please do not scroll down to avoid any mental suffering*

had been eating great recently and thus explains the lining up of more food hunt post coming soon!haha

so today's post, VIVO!! The best cafe i had encounter so far!! xD

the place of great food & great price! and mind you, great food n price usually wont come in a same sentence. cz in order to get a better food, you nid to pay more. but no! this cafe proves you wrong! they made these 2 adjectives come in together in a sentence! :)

hmm.. let me show you wat we ordered! hehe

started off with this sparkling juice! yummy~ n its fizzy! xD

next up..

Lemon Herb Salmon Steak!

gawd!! the salmon skin is so crispy and nais!!!!!!!! make me hungry just looking  this picture...

Baked fish pasta! 

The taste of the fish and sauce blends so well that i just had to ordered every single time i visit vivo! LOL

and its not just me.. all the different groups of fwen dat went wif me tried and said it was awesome! :)

Teriyaki chicken

Very flavourful! 

You can even taste the teriyaki sauce inside the chicken.

 Most of the places that i have tried, the taste usually stuck on the skin and if you are like me (ppl wont often remove the skin) you will often end up eating a tasteless chicken.. haha

Oriental Baked rice

This dish is a little spicy but it a good match if you have already ordered a lot of creamy/cheesy dishes. It will spice up your meal a little ;)

oh! and when we went the other time, they had this promotion..

yup.. this offer.. the baked rice we ordered was listed here. therefore we get to order another personal pizza for half price! whee!!!

oh! n from here you can roughly see the price range la.. hehe

and so we ordered this! n i forgot wat flavour was this.. hahahah

so these are wat we ordered for 4pax. was soooooooooooo full after the meal dat i cant really move afterwards! haha

definitely on top of list for cafes so far.. ;)

go try and tell me your experience..

and oh! if u wana see wat other menus they offer, do check out the Vivo Official Website :)

how to : homemade popcorns. ready in 3minutes!

this post is specially for all POPCORN LOVERS out dere!  ^^


buying popcorns from the cinemas or shop is kinda costly if u really compare the selling price with  the cost price. basically 50cents of dried corn  would give u a big bowl of popcorn in the end! xD



so let me share with you the recipe i used to made the popcorns just now ( ya.. i really did it like 30mins ago) hahaha


ingredient :

1. dried corns. in case you dont know how they look like.. here you go..

(photo credits to google )

you cn get it from mini markets or even super markets like Tesco. dirt cheap like mad!! 

2.  sugar

3. a small cube of butter

4. a tablespoon of oil

dats it! only 4 ingredients and i bet 3 out 4 of the ingredient is already in ur kitchen. LOL

HOW TO :

1. Pour the oil into you pan/wok and turn on the medium fire. ensure dat da whole surface of the pan/wok is   coated with a thin layer of cooking oil.
2. Once the oil is hot, turn the fire to the smallest mode. Pour in the dried corns. REMEMBER TO COVER THE PAN/WOK! you dont want your pop corn to pop into your whole kitchen, do you? haha
3. After 1 minutes, you will hear the popping sound of the popcorn. once the sound stops, your popcorn is ready!
4. Pour the popcorns into a bowl
5. Put the sugar and butter into the pan/wok and melt it.
6. Pour in the popcorns made just know into the pan/wok and stir well to make sure all the popcorns is coated with caramel.
7. Your popcorns is ready to be served! enjoy! ^^

this is da one i made just now.. hehe go try out ya! ;)

bye! gotta enjoy it over a good movie in front of my new smart TV. hehe
