Prince Cafe @ ss2

Posted by cy on Jun-12-2006

This prince cafe at ss2 is a new new cafe that open couple of days ago. Another new Hong Kong style cafe. Located at Jln ss2/67… neh… that shops, last time is Big A supermarket one, but Big A supermarket cap lap about 2 years ago, and the Maybank there oso moved already… so there’s a few vacant shoplot…

Eh.. the review here is not advertise for them, just some of my own opinion, it’s not an accurate review too cos I will only write wad I eat…

And now, there’s two restaurant open at those shoplot there, one is this Prince Cafe, another is I forgot mi lan jiao name already, havent open, still renovating, I think boi hu open during this world cup period.

That day Saturday, Kanneneh sim su gao (heart problem deep), he was staying at my house for whole day, lunch time I went to eat bak kut teh with him, then dinner he said feel like wanna eat kfc, no problem, kfc oso my favourite although I dun eat skin, I like to lick only.. Dun misunderstand, I actually like kfc chicken skin beri much, but hor, very fat lah if u wan me to eat the skin, thats why everytime I go eat kfc oso lun, dun wan eat skin, sometimes give my frens eat, dun waste. And that day I oso feel like wanna eat kfc cos I like the fish burger oso, that one really not bad, big enough, really can full one.

Kanneh.. why I talk about kfc.

This Prince Cafe (just beside kfc mah), chinese called 太子 (sounds like a bit 三太子). Yesterday (Saturday) I went there, really crowded, that time only 6pm+, still early for dinner time, but already many ppls there, of course, one reason because it’s new…

Great interior design, nice decoration, everything is great, the environment really boi tik hiam already.

@@
Got at least two big screen there, nice one.

@@
Somemore got world cup table there, got write results one, so if u dunno results u can drive or walk there see the results, no need buy Sin Chew Jit Poh. But special lar, although it’s not really useful but I like it.

But, a bit disappointed when I look at their menu…

@@

@@

Still, Ji Si Kok Fan (chop rice with cheese)! KNN! why every Hong Kong style restaurant MUST put the Ji Si Kok Fan at the first page leh? Wong Kok, Kimgary, as long as the restaurant got Ji Si Kok Fan, they sure put at the first page, lan eh.. Hong Kong got no other food liao meh? And the foods in the menu, I think is 90% same as Wong Kok (even the price).

I wish I can see something special once I open the menu… like cheese nasi lemak & dry cheese asam laksa.. kekeke.

Okay lar, so I order cheese chicken chop rice (curry sauce.. this one a bit special la)… while Kanneneh order a cheese pork chop rice (italian sauce).

@@
Kanneneh one

@@
mine one

@@
Surprisingly I found there’s a ‘荷叶’ at the bottom, good one.

For drinks, I order “banana freeze” (yes, anything about banana), got a bit honey and apple smell… hmm why got apple smell one, I think must be blender not clean.. kekeke.

@@

Food: 4/5
Environment: 4/5 (IMO the only drawback is too many corners)
Will go again? Yes

Overall, the food is okay, not bad, the environment and design is good, so most probably I will go second time to try out others, and I oso wanna see wad they will write on the black board after world cup is ended.

Turning hot.. nice Char Kuay Tiao

Posted by cy on May-21-2006

Very nice Char Kuay Tiao, even the chinese one oso cannot come with them. Look at the pic, it’s very muddy, but the taste is very delicious, but of course, very heaty too. And, no tu bak and tu yiu one, no worries, cos it’s char by Malay, sure is halal.

After came back KL, Wednesday 17/5 is Albert birthday, so we go Shogan eat. Shogan, or chinese name called 将军. It’s a Japanese style buffet, located in 1 Utama, new wing, 2nd Floor. It’s actually a branch of Saisaki, RM48, after the knn tax is RM55 per pax.

I don’t know why Albert cannot eat anymore, eat two plate only he told me he fulled already, waste money only. I eat a lot that nite.

Since their chio pai put 拉面 and 小笼包, I think must be very nice one.. so I ordered this two.

I ordered a 炸酱拉面 and 上海小笼包.

@@

Okay, the noodle… honestly… so-so only, not special at all.. I feel that the noodle is better than the meat… the portion is small (for me)… @ RM12

@@

@@

And the bao… this one is worst, like newbie do one, I can only taste the saltness… other than that.. nothing liao.. seriously… the juice inside oso tasteless… this type of quality… everywhere oso got… @ RM8

However… like me this type of p’ng tang, have to eat rice la… so I ordered a 烟三文鱼炒饭 (Smoke salmon fried rice).

@@

Finally… the best one is the drink lah…

Meiji Yan Yan

Posted by cy on Apr-2-2006

Went to this “Yen 100″ shop in ss2 few days ago. Whole shop selling Japanese stuff one, only the staff not Japanese.

Actually just wanna go inside walk walk, see the gu gu guai guai stuff. But then I saw this one, Yan Yan, like very long time never eat already, I remember last time when Lolli talked about yan yan, I oso dunno wads that, cos I really forgot already cos too long never eat this type of thing.. (the name yan yan just sounds like those 1 box 1 box biscuit with a small toy inside like yoyo… tora…hahaha)

:P~

I remember I eat a lot this yan yan when I small, father always bought, but not Meiji brand one, dunno wad local brand already.

So I bought a chocolate flavour one (I hate strawberry already).

:P~

:P~

It’s not cheap, RM2.20 for a cup of yan yan. I thought is like around 1 buck only.

:P~

:P~

Open up, yes, I bought the correct one, is chocolate flavour one, not strawberry, so I no need back to the shop to change.

:P~

I think original Meiji’s yan yan got “Elephant Jumbo” word on it…??

:P~

:P~

:P~ crunchy, a bit salty, add some choc.. taste delicious.. :)

:P~

Look at my finger.. it’s quite oily tho..

Island Cafe @ ss2, PJ

Posted by cy on Mar-23-2006

Went to this “ISLAND CAFE” two days ago, chinese name call “吹吹水咖啡站”, in ss2/61, PJ. Actually I went to this restaurant few times before, it just open about few months back, previously the shop is “金饭碗” one, a chinese restaurant, but cannot tahan cos it looks like too high class already, I oso not dare enter the shop makan, even the jio pai (signboard) oso got a mastercard logo big big, like telling u “not enough cash can pay by card, cos the food here is beri expensive one ok?”.

Everytime I go Island Cafe, sure I will order their Tomyam one, not their Tomyam very best, but is the fact that I personally love Tomyam (and asam laksa too).

:P~
This Seafood Tomyam Soup @ RM8.00, taste good, got sotong, prawn, etc. I give this 4/5, but little portion only.

:P~
Another one, a chee bye one, bcos of this, my sorethroat come back again… Pattaya Fried Rice (Chicken) @ RM7.00, taste delicious… give this 4/5 too, for those who dun scared of heaty food, can try this.

:P~
Hmm.. this one, Curry Rice (Chicken) @ RM5.80, the rice like havent cook, a bit hard, but still acceptable, and the curry oso, very indian style (cos a lot of kali hung I think). But… kok oi jip cui lar.. I give this 3/5.

For drink, I only ordered Apple + Orange juice @ RM4.50, nice, quite pure one, got a lot of other nice drinks actually, like tea, milk, choc, coffee etc etc..

:P~

Since the shop is at kak tao keng, so quite spacey oso, sit inside got aircond, sit outside got fan and smoke.

:P~
Even the path to toilet oso nicely decorated.

:P~
Some stolen moments on the signboard…

:P~
I not sure whether got WIFI there or not, but I see couple of laptops there.. and got ppl playing chinese chess too, maybe cos during working hour didn’t think enough, so come back dinner time oso play some chess to think somemore.

So many days I din blog already.

Actually was bloody bz recently, pcc oso no time, plus I am watching Initial D (anime) stage 1 recently.. people finished stage four already I only start watching stage 1..

I was in Ikano Power Center last weekend, Saturday Sunday oso went there, cos got something to do. So I had my dinner there.

Saturday 11 March 06 I went to this Absolute Thai restaurant @ G floor. Hmm.. first time.

^^

From the outside like very big like that, but when you go in, the restaurant actually very small only, business good a bit only already no seat.

:P~
I like restaurant with this type of design, clear, you can check out their variety and price b4 step in the shop, very informative for those poor man like me

Got dua pek gong picture somemore =P I think is their Thai King or what la.. I dunno

@@

I ordered a Thai Chicken Rice, RM12.90, rated 4/5.

@@
Looks nice, taste delicious too.. but chicken very small portion only.. I should tell them I prefer a chicken breast instead.. forgot

@@

Come to Thai restaurant, sure must try their Tom Yam, so I ordered a Tom Yam Seafood as well @ RM14.00 rated 1.5/5.

@@

Chee bye, this Tom Yam Seafood quite disappointed me, I expect more than this with a RM14.00 Tom Yam Seafood.. :( But only 2 sotong kia and 2 little prawn.. I can get MORE than this in Malay cook with only RM4. The taste isn’t special too, not ‘thai’ enough, just very normal kind of tom yam which you can eat anywhere, even Secret Recipe one taste better than this Thai restaurant.

Besides, I also ordered a Eau Clair mineral water, RM3, plus a white rice RM2.50. Spent RM37.26 for this dinner. You can have all these with less than RM10 outside.

Sunday 12 March 06, I come to this Big Ben’s restaurant, at Ikano LG floor.

@@

@@

@@

Too sad cos I was too hungry, so I makan once the food served, so I forgot to snap any photo.

I order this Norweigian Salmon Steak for RM15.90, taste good but a lot of fish bone, I hate fish with plenty of bones, so I give this 3.5/5.

@@
better than nothing lar.. :P

While my girl friend ordered a Seafood Hor Fun @ RM12.90, hmmm…. taste like self cook wat tan hor, no special, even the hor fun oso like never fried, not nice, I give this 1/5.

Some nice decoration, no dua pek gong here one

The Chocolate Milk Shakes in Big Ben’s is yummy.. RM5.90.. ice blended and milky..very nice!

Penang nang @ Penang Road Kopitiam

Posted by cy on Mar-2-2006

Last Friday 24 Feb 2006 I went to the Penang Street kopitiam makan. It’s located in ss2, PJ, same row with Murni (famous mamak).. I like their interior design, but their food is not special, but, worth a try too lar.

I order a Penang laksa (so called asam laksa in KL), nasi lemak ayam, and a curry ayam with bun. I forgot the exact name and price, cos the receipt is not with me now, I think I left it at home, I am now blogging in the office again LOL.

:P~
I like this, my hometown got a lot this type of building.. but this one is a mock only

:P~
My all time favourite, Penang laksa, I give this 4/5, cos really got Penang style, not expensive.. I think RM4.50 or RM4.90.. forgot… but much cheaper than Uncle Lim one… I like it because their fish is mi mi one, not 1 piece 1 piece like that :P

:P~

:P~
The curry chicken and the bun, hmm.. I give only 2.5/5 for this, the chicken taste no special

:P~
Nasi lemak, too dry, I give 3/5 for this

:P~
The senior lim kopi in kopitiam…

:P~
Can see the knn ferry somemore… like real.. scenery like when I was 4 year old
