Waffle @ Selayang Mall




Whenever I pass by any waffle shop, it reminds me of my university days. We used to have a waffle shop right next to bubble tea shop, my favorite spot on campus. Every other day before heading back home, I used to quickly grab a waffle with bubble tea in the evening. Since nowadays I do not get the chance to have it every alternative day; whenever I smell the flavors of waffle, I cannot resist myself from having it.





While we were in Selayang Mall, I found this waffle shop and went ahead with my usual order (chocolate and peanut butter). I was exactly like the waffle I used to have during university days.

Restaurant Lee How Fook @ Sitiawan



We have visited Sitiawan for a short weekend getaway. We decided to have seafood for dinner and from a recommendation of a family member we have visited Lee How Fook. 

Among many seafood restaurants, Restaurant Lee How Fook is assessed well by its tasty dishes at a very reasonable price with good service.

Fried Egg

 Fried Fish with Thai Sauce

This fried fish is certainly a must-try if you visit Restaurant Lee How Fook. It was cooked to perfection. This was my favourite dish among all the dishes we have ordered. The freshness of the fish was distinctive and flesh were fork tender.

 Mixed Vegetables

 Sizzling Tofu 
 Crab Soup

The Mixed vegetables, Sizzling tofu and Crab soup were equally good. Our overall experience here was as great as we expected it to be. We were satisfied with the food. If you are in Sitiawan, trying out this place will not leave you disappointed.

Ben's Independent Grocer @ DC Mall





Ben's Independent Grocer, I started visiting this place few years back when I used to work at Glo Damansara, PJ. We used to visit them for lunch, specially for their Grill me! Ben's used to grill all marinated meats you can purchase at the grocer. But recently, they only grill their Lamb with Grill me sticker. I was quite disappointed on this, since my favourite with them was marinated chicken from the grocer and I will usually add on their mashed potato and fries with my grill chicken. Since they do not grill chicken anymore, we have decided to order grilled chicken from the menu.



At DC Mall's Ben's Independent Grocer, you will need to order your food at the counter. We have decided to go for their BIG Half Roasted Chicken with 2 sides. For sides I ordered chips and butter rice. Sauce options given to us were black paper sauce and chicken soup. Black pepper sauce sounded better with our chicken, so we decided to order it.


BIG Half Roasted Chicken, Butter Rice, Chunky Chips: RM 32

Roasted chicken was very fresh and juicy. Black pepper sauce on it made it even better. However, I would still prefer my usual marinated chicken from the grocer over BIG Roasted chicken.

Ben's Independent Grocer at DC has many options for different types of food, such as Vietnamese food, Western food, Dessert and Coffee. We were very full with the Roasted chicken, but as always there is always space for dessert. So we have decided to move to their dessert cafe and order Red Velvet Cake.




Overall, I have always been happy with Ben's Independent Grocer's food. This is my 6th or 7th visit to Ben's and they have never failed to impress me with their tasty food.

Chilli Pan Mee @ SS2





If you love noodles and spicy food, then chilli pan mee is the kind of food that you might want to try.

Their specialty is the crushed chillies or chilli paste they provide on the table, which is very spicy and flavourful. This paste is made using dried shrimps and few other spices together with chillies. 

I would suggest you to mix chillies with noodles bit by bit instead of full spoonful, to check spiciness of your noodles. The bowl of noodles comes with one egg, minced pork, small salted fish, fried onion and spring onion on it. Also, there is soup on the side, which you can drink as it is or combine with your noodles. Personally, I like having the soup as it is, also I use it to adjust the spiciness of the noodles if I add more chillies to it. 

There are few times of noodles you can choose from, such as thin/flat/round noodles. 





Chilli Pan Mee: RM 8

Fried Wanton: RM 7


Milk Tea: RM 4


Chinese Tea: RM 1


I have visited this place a few times and my favourite dish with them remains unchanged, signature chilli pan mee.

#Leleh @MyTown



It was an usual weekday, we visited MyTown for dinner. While walking around, I noticed #Leleh and recalled their drink, which I tried on my last visit. I wanted to try the Melted Milk Tea again, hence we went in to have their melted tea and decided to order our dinner there as well. 

Nasi Volcane: RM17.90

Nasi(Rice) Volcane was beautifully done. I have ordered this dish as the presentation looked quite tempting at the picture. The chicken was crispy and the combination of the chicken with egg and the curry was perfect. 

Teh Tarik #Leleh: RM 6.50

Teh Tarik a.k.a Melted Milk Tea, is their best seller in drinks and it was perfect. The reason I have paid them another visit. 

Lekor Cheese: RM 6.90

The Cheese Lekor (Traditional Malay Fish Craker), even though it was a part of their recommended menu; it was not that good, . The cheese used with lekor was not fresh. It tasted like dehydrated cheese. If they use fresh cheese, it will go perfectly with the crakers.

Char Kuay Teow with extra Prawn: RM 11.90

Plain Char Kuay Teow: RM 9.90

Char Kuay Teow is their signature dish. We have ordered two of them, one with extra prawns and another plain. It was not really like the original char kuay teow which you can get in traditional malay shops, however their flavour was quite close to the original flavour.

Merchant's Lane Cafe @ KL



I heard about Merchant's Lane Cafe from a friend of mine. The cafe is hidden, not easy to find. I had to wait in-front of ATC (Advance Tertiary College) for my friend to guide me to the cafe. The cafe is just next to ATC, but their entrance is hidden by another shop which is located in group floor.





Since we have visited them on the weekend; it was quite crowded, but we managed to find a place to sit without queuing.



Their menu is interesting with limited options, western cooking with a twist of asian fusion.

Latte: RM 11

Italian Chow Mien: RM 24

South China Sea: RM 32

Kai Fan 4.0: RM 24


Fai Fan 4.0, grilled chicken topped with thai green curry rice and served with rice and steamed vegetables. You might wonder about their version of Kai Fan which is 4.0 and its difference with Kai Fan, well normal Kai Fan is grilled chicken with butter rice, salad and fried egg. 

South China Sea, grilled salmon served with eggs, salad and housemade hash. Italian chow mein, which is stir fried spaghetti with traditional Malaysian chicken rendang. It tasted just like Fried Mee to me.

Overall, I am satisfied with their food. Their serving size is good, taste and service were equally. However, locating the place is a pain. Specially for those who are driving, looking for a place to park will not be easy. If you are planning to visit Merchant's Lane for brunch on the weekend, I would suggest to use grab or mycar instead of driving.

Food Court @City One Plaza




If you love Indian and Pakistani food, you will have to check out this food court located at the second level of City One Plaza. We decided to pay them a visit while shopping at the mall. If you are not aware of this place, this is the best place in KL to buy Indian or Pakistani cloths.

Their Pakistani biryani is worth a try. I  visited this place two or three times while I was in the nearby area. On our this visit, we decided to taste their garlic naan with daal (Yellow Lentils) and palak chicken (Spinach Chicken).

Daal

Palak Chicken

Palak Chicken was good, but it was cold. Perhaps they made it in the morning.

Garlic Naan

Naan was fresh and taste, made to order.

Masala Chai (Tea)

Dahi Puri: RM 6

While being in such a place, I could not leave without having my favourite dahi puri. Apart from the dishes I tried, they have variety of Indian/Pakistani Sweets and Snacks.

Overall, food was good. this might be one of the most affordable North Indian and Pakistani food you can find around this area. If I am shopping around that area, will definitely pay them another visit.
