Dinner @ Mizi Shabu Shabu

Mizi Shabu Shabu is nestled amidst a bustling rows of eateries at Bandar Puteri Puchong. It's located just behind Bumbu Bali and if you are having a hard time locating this place, try tilt your head up to look for the neon lighted steamboat.

A special dippings sauce made from a mixture sesame, peanut chunks, spring onions and soy sauce is really nice. **thumbs up**

Each diner gets his or her own pot, which means you can customised the soup to your own liking. Unfortunately, during night time, they only serve clear soup- no tomyam or herbal. It's more hygenic too.

Controls for the electric hot pot.

Hot green tea- bottomless..

We opt for the couple Set (RM 25) that comes with prawns, small fish slices, fish balls, tiny blocks of yoki tofu, quail eggs, tofu puffs, instant noodle trying to be yee mee and abundance of glass noodles and vegetables. The food is very fresh and the place is very comfortable, so I wouldn't mind to come back again.

In addition to the above, we added lamb slices (RM8)- very fresh.

Steamboat won't be perfect without enoki mushroom (RM7) .. =D

And lastly, my favourite- Seafood taufoo (Rm3.50)

Total damage of the day Rm66.70

Lunch @ Dragon-i

It a hot afternoon with Dear at The Curve, Mutiara Damansara.. Having no idea what to eat therefore we walk around and we spot this.. It’s been a long time since I last stepped into Dragon-i coz I had some bad experience my last time there. But, running out of ideas what to eat, we decided to explore it again.


Appertiser of the day- Xio Long Bao. The skin was slighty too thick and dry on top. Although their soup and filling was tasty, I was dissapointed with the skin.One good thing is they recently switched to using big cabbage leaves to line the base of the steam basket instead of paper.

Next is the Seafood Fried La Mien.. Come with generous amount of seafood and the noodles are great too..



As for dear, he ordered Si Chuan Style La Mien with Pork Ribs. I didn't try the soup nor the noodles therefore no comment but according to him, it taste great! As for the pork ribs, is sooo juicy.. yum yum..

Total damage= RM60.80 includes two drinks and a plate of peanuts.

Ipoh salted chicken

When you think of Ipoh food, apart from bean sprout chicken hor fun Yim Kok Kai or salted chicken naturally comes into the picture but to be exact it is a herbal chicken steamed with rock salt. It is not something that you’ll eat every day, especially with the high content of salt but it makes a good souvenir. Well the reason I say souvenir is because, its only available for take away – no eat-ins. Some suggest that you eat it immediately to get the best result but according to the shop owner – you can keep it in the freezer and it will last up to at least a week.

Well, as the price stated, it is RM16 per bird and make sure u be early to book your chicken and be there on time to collect it before it finish..

This is the kitchen- look at the box and how many stoves there have for preparing the chicken.. No wonder Malaysia is a country which is high demand for chicken!

Lunch at Ipoh


While on the way back from Penang after the Treasure Hunt, we stopped by Ipoh for lunch.. BIL suggested to try out Lou Wong Bean Sprout and Chicken Rice at town... After turning here and there for 20 minutes, we finally reached the place!! Waoh.. it was 4pm and the shop is so crowded... Ipoh people have lunch/dinner at 4?? I wonder...

Waited for 15 minutes before we manage to get a table.. The workers are rude!! Simply push people and the shop is so crowded and hot!!! OMG... We seated ourselves and was almost instantly served.

Signboard inside the shop

The shop speciality- Steamed Chicken with soy source- As I'm not a big fan of steamed chicken, i can only comment that the meat are really smooth...

But I love the bean sprout, its super juicy and crunchy, again according to the locals ~ its because of the water quality (mountain water!!!).
Pork Meat Ball

Served with rice or kuetiau- your choice..
* this pic credit to gourmetsharing*

Overall, the meal are good especially the bean sprout but the service is bad and this place is HOT! Total damage- less than RM35 (4pax)

Nyonya Food @ Familiar Faces

Its time for family again... Dad suggested to try out Nyonya Food at Sri Petaling. This restaurant is located at Sri Petaling's most famous food street, Jalan Radin Anum 1.

I been here once looong loooong time ago and can't remember what i had the last round.. So for this round, we ordered the following dishes:-

Claypot Bean Curd with Chinese Mushroom and Bean Curd Skin. Nothing special about this but the gravy are great!!

Stir-fried brinjal with salted fish.. The binjal texture are cooked just perfectly.. =D

The famous salted egg fried sotong! must-try dish!

Stir-fried vege

Dad's favorite- Claypot Curry Fish Head.. lots of fish meat, brinjal, lady fingers & tau fu pok as well.. another must try dish!!

Egg with seafood- The seafood is fresh...

Lemon Chicken

Bean Curd with salted fish- The bean curd are home-made therefore the texture is extremely soft and smooth..


Overall, the cooking is nice and the price is quite reasonable as well. RM 130 inclusive of a plate of complimentary fruits. With such price, cooling and neat environment, most importantly, nice food, it's no wonder i keep going back for more.

My 4th Anniversary..

We've have our arguments
Over the years
And some of them
Brought me to tears


And more important
Are the good times we've shared
The things you've done
To show me you care


Yes, we have arguments now and then
But our love endures through them all
And most of them i can't even recall


And all the good times we shared
Are buried deep within in my heart
Loving memories dear to me
Memories from which I'll never part


I love you dearly
This you already know
It's our love
Made our relationship grow


Happy 4th Anniversary, My Dear..

ChatterBox- One Utama

Chatterbox at One Utama is a pretty good location I must say as this eatery is located in da Rainforest side where you can actually sit outside and enjoy da green green trees scenery =D Dear told me that Chatterbox seems to be not doing so well these days right after da appearance of Kluang Station. Hmmm.. as what I saw yesterday, I think that he was right because Kluang Station was fully packed with diners while Chatterbox looked quite empty. Perhaps it could be because Kluang Station is Halal certified while Chatterbox isn't.

As i was quite full on that day and we are rushing for movie, therefore i just ordered a pork chop bun.. Is quiet different with other HongKie rest as this pork chop bun is a topped with lots of onions and tomato sauce.. Well, it taste good with the sauce and the meat are just tender enough..
Dear had cheese baked rice with seafood in white sauce.. It was so cheesy and come with generous amount of seafood but the portion is quite small..
