Thanks to Ciku-san, who brought me to this place in Dengkil for lunch, its basically a kampung house opposite the chinese school with its porch converted into a stall selling wantan mee and herbal mee. I was meeting up with the Cyberjayians, ciku, noel and kc for lunch and the nearest decent Chinese food is here in Dengkil.

It was raining cats and dogs that afternoon when I arrived in Dengkil from Putrajaya but thank god I was just in time to run into the makan place before it pours like crazy.

Anyway, noel ordered the usual wantan mee which looks very good with char siew plus chicken. The rest of us try the herbal noodles with is basically a herbal soup with mee, pork and chicken. The soup taste like a very light version of bak kut teh, pretty nice I would say.

Price is reasonable here, RM4 plus for noodles with drinks. Barley cost like 80 cents per cup only. The noodles are good and that is why we see its packed with cyberjayians there for lunch. A recommended place for lunch if you are in Cyberjaya, thanks again ciku-san for taking us there .

Was recently up in Kulim for a wedding and in between functions, we popped by Penang for a short visit. This is my first trip to Queensbay Mall (yes yes I know, I jarkoon but what to do, I from KL mah) which we decided to dropped by for a short visit before dinner.

Queensbay Mall is located at Sg Nibong by the seaside with a fantastic view of the Penang Bridge and you can see many local and tourist stopping at by the seafront for picnics and photo session. The mall is quite modern and big with a varieties of entertainment, shopping and food outlets is available.

I saw this stall Deli Manjoo, they are selling this corn cake, the friendly lady at the stall told us that it is from Korea. You have this automated machine that keep rotating the hot plate in and out while another lady oiled the hot plate and fill it up with the barter and corn to make the mini cake. It cost RM4.00 for 10 pieces. Its ok la, no wow but good taste of corn in it.

The better one is their curry fishball which goes for RM1.80 for 4 pcs. The fishball are bigger than those you find in pasar malam or Hong Kong and the curry is the key here, their curry is very good!

We the proceed to Taiwan Bull to try some of their snacks. They have a huge variety here but we only had the stomach to try a few as dinner is waitng for us at Lebuh Kimberly . The first is their chicken kushiyaki (grilled chicken) at RM8.50, its ok la, almost like teriyaki chicken. Next is their XXL crispy chicken at RM6.90. it is not as tasty those in pasar malam but this means that less ajinomoto? The one that is really good here is their Taiwan shrimp cake at RM6.90, its shrimp meat deep fried, this is nice and a definately worth trying!

I saw this place weeks ago when I was scouting for a place for dinner in Paramount (its just few doors away from famous charcoal hokkien mee, Mei Yen)with Sky and saw that it was quite packed. So last weekend, a few of us decided to get together for dinner and I suggested that we have steamboat since its a cold night and most of the gang were tired having to work overtime.

They are having a promotion, their usual buffet is RM21.80 but its now RM18.80 per pax (exclude drinks and tax) and you get to choose 3 different choices for your soup. We got peanuts soup, chicken soup and tomyam. The peanut is nice, very flavourful but got a bit salty after putting too much good stuff in it while cooking our food. The chicken is normal la and tomyam is not too sour but not enough kick. Overall, I like the peanut the most!

The food here is quite fresh and there are various choices from seafood to pork, chicken, all sort of meat and fish balls, vegetables, noodles, mushrooms, etc. The important thing is that they are fresh and clean, but the size is a bit small but good also, means can eat more different types .

There are also cooked food at the sides like fried rice, meehoon, fried chicken, etc. There are also ice creams and cakes as desserts, eat all you want!

At the end of the meal for 6 of us cost RM154 inclusive of buffet, beers, drinks and tax. The friendly boss also gave us a discount card, if you bring 3 persons, you get 20% yourself, bring 6 and get 50% yourself and if you bring 9 persons, you eat free!
