hmmmm, overall…. the taste… there’re better japanese restaurants in KL.

Don’t know what the hype is all about with this restaurant…. just because its popular with celebrities…. maybe they have poor taste. :p

Tonight, my friends and i went to the curve to eat. we ate noodles at a restaurant. the name of the restaurant is pho hoa. the noodles i ate…… i dont really like it. its an acquired taste. i prefer vietname kitchen more. but my friends love pho hoa.

na hou, wo men hang kai e tian. wo men chee mango ing wei yau mai liang liang sam. ke sher…. wo men mei you chian…..T.T you ren yau kei wo men chian ma? hen xie xie hor.

then, we went walking around. we went to mango to shop, but then, we did not have money with us. anyone wanna donate? thanks thanks.

na hou, wo men chee kan su. borders you sale. ke sher, wo mei you mai se mo thung xi. wo pen you mai liang ke dvd. he pian yee. hen tuo ren chai na pian. hen stuffy….

 then, we went to see books cos borders was having sale. but i didnt buy anything. my friends bought 2 dvds. very cheap. alot of people were there. very stuffy.

na hou, wo men, chee lai yau chee ikano che healthy yoghurt. ke she wo ing wei you yi ke che fan di fang you mai hen hou che de thong sui. so wo men chee bubbu gump cher thong sui. hen hou che de! ke sher hen tim. so after a while, wo men pu ke yi che liau. hen jelak liau.

then, at first wanted to go to iakno to eat healthy youghurts. but i remembered there was a restaurant that sells very nice desserts. so we went to bubba gumps to eat dessert. yummy! but very sweet. so after a while, cant finish. very jelak.

na hou, wo pu ying wei wo men chee na ler.

then, i dont know where we went already.

why am i talking in mandarin?

ing wei wo hou pen you chiang tha yau shue hua yi again. so wo men chiang yau ken e chee chiang hua yi. ing wei ru gua ni always chiang hua yi, ni hen kuai ke yi shue hua yi ler.

because my friends said they wanted to brush up on their mandarin. so we talk to each other in mandarin lor. cos if you always speak it, its easier to learn.

haha. ni chen de meng pai wo chiang se mor ma?

haha. you really understood what i wrote?

hehe. i know, i know. no need tell me also i know.

ok. late already. need to go study. cos got reason la….

Jit Xin

Food there was quite very the good.

 

but…. would i travel all the way just to eat it?

hehe…. NO…… ><

But if like got dinner or whatever then…..

hmmm…. i dont remember much, but i think i thought the steamed egg was quite good that time.

 

Asam fish

Toufu, la-la thong

hmmm…. i think the la-la thong was so-so only ><

but toufu… hmm… dont like fried toufu so didnt try it…

Salty soup and Marmite Chicken (or was it pork? hmmm…..)

SAlty soup tasted like…. salty soup.

but marmite chicken/pork was…. hehe…so-so. like normal one.

I dont know why i haven’t tried a bombastic marmite chicken/pork. everytime i try one that everyone says is nice, i find it so-so only. maybe i don’t like LIKE marmite chicken/pork and just find it po-thung? hmmmm…..

but i do like ordering it, so hmmm……

oh, but this: was the best!!!

Fried (butter?) mantis prawn. YUM yum!

long beans, fried prawn and asam fish.

 prawn…. dunno, cos i dont think i ate it. not much of a prawn eater. (must use hands peel….T.T)

did we order marmite mantis prawn too? cant remember…..

cooking crab noodle

dunno how it tasted cos too full by then T.T

Desserts!

Mochi, and

HUge peanut thong yuin

WITH GINGER!!!

bleck….

but lOTS of people  likes this alot….

especially the marms

but…… to me….

 

hehe. not so terrible ler, just that i dont like the ginger-y taste, and i want to be loyal to my poh-poh.

hers is the BEST!!!

no ginger, put pandan leaves, and her special stuff

then…..

COOL BANANAS!!!

Location: Klang, near the new justco

Kura

Just went to this place today for dinner.

ITs the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!

thanks Elisa, for recommending the place. Feel bad for going there first without you… hehe….

SUpposed to go lunch there with her one of these days during her lunchbreak, but…. hehe…. woke up…. AFTER her lunchbreak….><

 

Kura, according to the man who took us around means underground storage. Don’t know why they named it that way though… sounds rather weird to name your restaurant underground storage though its on the 1st floor….. (like the 3rd floor restaurant on the 2nd flr at marriotts)

 

Interior of this place is really really cool! This restaurant is actually a branch of Rakuzen at Plaza Damas (also intro-ed by miss khong), another really really good japanese restaurant. Love the salmon chips there. but the setting there is…. terrible….

so dark and gloomy and squeezy….

Kura, on the other hand, has a much more roomier and brighter setting. Glass windows overlooking the jammed-up highway and the fake river….. but seriously though, the scenery outside not that bad

Pricing…. if you dont order like, really expensive stuff like sashimi, kobe beef, tataki…. those kind of really expensive food, the bill would be quite reasonable. They even have pufferfish!

And Sashimis should be quite fresh I think cos they ship it over quite often and its often sold out before the next shipment arrived.

VERY good efficient staff service. Staffs dont give you that ‘tak chuin’ look, you know, the arrogant, wanna-smack-you-in-the-face kind of look….

but……………………

as good as a restaurant can get…. they do have some not so good points….. like…

Dunno whats the name of this fish, but it wasnt that good…..

Some snow crab thingy. the crab was a bit de hard and stringy, but i dont think it’s the crab’s fault cause we overcooked it…. soup base was quite good according to others, but since i’m not a big fan of miso… it taste so-so to me….. so overall i think this should actually be put into the good section

The good/so-so/typical:

 some toufu thingy whingy….

Dunno how this one tasted cos didnt try it.

but if i DID though, i’d put it in the not-so-good section. cos I dont like braised fried toufu.

salmon onigiri

Cranky Salmon Rolls

used to really love this. the crunchy crunchy bits.. *heaven-ness*

But dunno why this one tasted… so-so….

Almond pudding

This one actually tasted quite good, if it wasnt for the strong fake almond taste. then again, it IS almond pudding. I think the milk pudding would be really really really good.

 

The COOL BANANAS!!!

Ikura!!!

Love this to bits despite all the ragging i’m getting.

eh, if you eat Fish right, Fish can actually give birth to HUNDREDs of small tiny fishes….. So why eat FISH???

At least eggs, you eat it while its small, so the fish can continue giving birth to many other fishes…..

 

Soft shell crab and salmon to ikura handroll

Dunno bout the crab, but the salmon and ikura roll is QUITE good!

So fresh and juicy… *pengsan*

Dees L.O.V.E. LOVE this nabeyaki soba. Why?????

Cos its                             healthy……………… -.-   *deng deng deng* big surprise there. -.-

 

These Strawberry Ice(s?) are really quite good!

And, oh-mi-gosh, they actually somehow managed to push in vanilla ice cream inside!!! like…. 0.0

but, erm… you might want to let these cool/heat up a while cos when they say ice…. they really mean….ICE!

 

Japanese Plum sherbet

Its really really REALLY sour. but it tastes quite good too. (for those shi-mui lovers le)

but do be aware that its JAPANESE asam, not the chinese ones. Chinese ones are the best!

but this sherbert is quite refreshing.

OH-MI-GOSH!!!!

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!!~~@@@@@!!!!!!

The best!!!

the bazooka of Sherbets man!!!!
the coolest BANANA!!!
The jumpiest monkey!

The Wackiest orang utan!!

the B.O.M.B!!!!

haha. get the idea?

Yuzu Sherbet

really, the ABSOLUTE best.

Like got orangy orangy flavour with bits in it.

Yuzu is a citrusy fruit. kinda look like mandarin oranges.

sigh…

can just… *pengsan*

so………………

after saying all this…….

would I go back again???
YEA MAN!!!

Would my parents go back again???

erm… NO…..

hehe. no le. kidding. they’re quite impressed with this place too.

So do go try it.

Thanks miss khong.

 

Yummy Korean food at…….

Melbourne!

hehe….

not here…. T.T

Anyways….

dont know the name of the shop (or how to get there),

but loisy took us there the last time we went there

i think its near lygon or la trobe street since we walked QUITE a distance to get there…. -.-

its like a small mini korean restaurant in between two buildings. hard to spot if you’re not on the lookout for it.

 

Main dishes???

Ja Jjang Myun

It comes in a really big portion so you might wanna share with 2-3 people

Loisy goes there for lunch with friends and they just order this to share. Thats all. its THAT filling

Maybe cos of the noodles. But i dont really like this though…. ><

despite all the popularity its been getting since Couple or Fantasy (kroean drama).

What I WOULD go there for though, would be THIS!!!!

OMG-ness!!!!

This is the BEST Dak Kang Jung I’ve ever tasted!!!!

(Its the only one too… )

but…. you SHOULD really TRY IT!!!!

Dont you EVER come home without trying it if you’re visiting melbourne….

:p

The portion is like megaly, gi-normously HUGE!!!!

really….

of course, at the price you’re paying for it… -.-

But then, most of the tables next to us, ordered JUST this. and rice. Like, 4-6 people would be sharing this (and still there’s leftovers….)

So I guess the price is quite worth it.

Maangchi did a whole video how-to on this recipe. check out her youtube channel for easy peasy ways to make korean food.

Just go youtube and type maangchi in the search bar le…. -.-

 

Others:

Bibimbap

Pan-jeon

erm….. beef….

But I dont think the others were very nice. just so-so only, i Think cos i dont remember the taste of it.

Didnt impress me that much….

Oh ya, before you go……..

PEE!!!!

cos the toilets there are……………………………………….

really really REALLY dirty and disgusting…..

*pengsan*

like china toilets last time…..

Let me leave you with this:

care to create a caption for this?

I’ll put it up if its the funniest.

Dak Kang Jung

Look at this:

http://www.maangchi.com/recipes/dak-kang-jung

and this:

A restaurant loisy brought us the last time we visited her

Look at mine:

 

hehe….. T.T…………………….

 

FAILED!!!!

You are cordially invited….

You are cordially invited…..

to my meet and greet fan session!!!!

It’s open to all my readers.

Refreshments are, of course provided.

Its a meet and greet session for all my readers out there.

Its an opportunity to ask me all the questions that you’ve been wanting to ask me,

or to get a reply to un-answered emails.

Do come and support

Your presence would really mean alot to me.

(if you haven’t noticed… as this is a very solemn and important post, I have not added any emoticons into it. )

 

I’ll answer some frequently asked questions first:

Where is it?

Click here to get the address.

The people there have been so kind, to let me rent that place out for the day

since its in pj area, I’m sure most of you would’ve had no problem getting there

What time is it?

Its from 4.30 to 7.

When is it?

Hmmmm….. since this is my first meet and greet session, its on the 16th of August

If all goes well, I might have it again, but the details of the next session would be discussed later

Why do you want to have it?

Why? Hmmm….. well, judging by the number of hits I have per day, I do think its time that I meet my fans.

I’ve been getting more and more emails these days asking me questions, so I thought this’d be a really good opportunity for all my readers to ask me questions face to face.

It’s also a very good opportunity for me to spend some time with my readers and to see what are they’re likes and dislikes and what they’d like to happen more with this blog so I can write better posts. e

Is this a for real? Are you really meeting your readers?

NO!!!!

LOOK!!!!

oh! oh!

look at what i got from a friend the other day!!!

these are danish cookies. different from those round tin danish cookies from supermarket -.-

but these are really REALLY good

its two cookies between a cream filling.

at first when i saw the cream filling, i was like…..

dont like cream… T.T

but then, since it was a gift, okle…

take a bite ler….

then………………

OMG-NESS!!!!

it was really good!!!

seriously!!!

the cream was really light so you cant really taste that much sweetness that you’d get in other cream cookies

which is a good thing because the biscuit itself was really sweet, so the cream was meant to complement the biscuit, not overpower it.

soooooo goood, man…….

too bad you guys cant try it.

 

hehe. am i being very mean?

copied that phrase from a friend who keeps bullying me, then ask me that… -.-   

what you want me to reply…. 

What do you get….

What do you get when you cross

this:

haha. look so ugly -.-

with

this:

another ugly thing….. ><

hehe…..

 

 

you get……………………………….

an absolutely seriously stupendously marvelously fantastically….

yar-mee-li-cious bread!!!!!!!!!

 

lol.

its just cream cheese mixed with jam

seriously.

it’s really yummy.

but you might wanna take the cheese out half an hour before you make it cos its very hard to spread it.

but there’r some really soft cream cheese out there so… up to you

type of jam?

any type will do i guess. mainly those berri-ed jams

never tried with marmalade or any of those citrus-y type jams….

 

i think peach and nectarine has the same kind of browning action like apples

cos these were cut a few hours earlier and it looked absolutely fine, but now its like all brown and soft…
