I had a great trip to Terengganu just last week for candat sotong (squid fishing) up at Marang, on the way back, we did a stop at Chukai in Kemaman for some nice seafood and of course the famous here are their stuffed crabs.

This round I decided to try a new shop and went to the all purplish Restoran Stuff Crab Kemaman. You can’t miss this shop, its on the main street with the other 3 stuffed crab place and its painted full purple.

Cold beer are available here at RM7.50 per can and it was a relieve for most as the weather is superbly hot. The owners are a busy lot and looks like a family business to me but they are still quite friendly and attending.

First up on our plates is the minced meat tofu, kind of something different, white tofu with saucy minced pork on top and very nice.  Next are some steamed crayfish and this is excellent as well as the crayfish (like shrimps actually) are fresh and tasty.

The vege we ordered is actually dried shrimp fried with cabbage, I was reluctant to order this as my mum cooks it all the time but they aunty told me don’t worry, their style will be different from my mum, so heck.. listen to aunty and order that… its stir fried till its quite soft and the a lot of onions are added too, ok la… but the presentation don’t look as good as it taste. We ordered another greens but it was a little oily.

The garlic prawns are yummy! Fried with garlic plus big and fresh, each of us had 1 of these! Each of us also had a stuffed crab each and I must say, the stuffed crab here is actually very good compare to the one I had before! Inside the crab meats mixture with some vege are sweet and tasty to my delight, good job!

The last to come are stir fried lala with chili padi… a little spicy but very nice and addictive, only wish the lala are bigger with more meat would have been much better.

The entire meal plus 6 cans of beers for 8 hungry guys comes up to about RM260.. if we minus off the beer should be about RM210 plus.

We was on my way back to KL on the highway when hunger strikes and so we decided to stop by at Seremban for lunch. Driving aimlessly I drove to Jalan Temiang and saw a few places I could check out.

I had passed by 2020 food court many times but have not eaten here before. As I was there way passed lunch time, most of the stalls are closed except for some vegetarian stall and a yong tau foo stall. We decided to give the yong tau foo a try and we did not regret it!

This stall is owned by Happy Days Corner and there is a huge type of varieties to choose from. The yong tau foo can be taken on its own or you can order noodles. I took a few and took it with curry noodles. The curry soup is great but only thing is the mee is kind of sticker and soft, so I would say avoid the mee and choose something else.

The yong tau foo itself its good, these are fish paste based and they are really good. I da bao a bunch of them after my meal back for dinner too!

They only open at 2pm and would usually close by 7pm, so this is another after lunch but before dinner place to eat but the food is good . So if you are on for a late lunch or early dinner in Seremban, this is a place to consider!

Some call it “thor kar mee” (floor noodles) and some called it ajinomoto noodles (cause of the MSG) but I just found out that this is a very famous noodles in Melaka. The name “thor kar mee” came about as I was told by Tien Soon is because there were no tables when they starting selling this noodles at Tengkera and everyone just hold the bowl and squatted on the floor to eat. This was verified by Miharu’s dad whom said that was how it was served and all you had were the little stool to sit on.

Anyhow the original stall is still in Tengkera but there is another one in Batu Berendam. After asking around at Restoran Wo Wat on the stall selling this that used to be here, we were given directions on where exactly is the stall at Batu Berendam from the aunty selling siah ping there whom happens to be related to the Batu Berendam stall, small world .

So this morning me and Miharu tried our luck and after an u-turn, we managed to find this shop. Its actually a house converted to coffeeshop style, blue in color just next to the vermicelli factory in Batu Berendam.

The name of the coffeeshop is Kim Seng if I remembered correctly but there is no signboard outside, just a small one inside.

We ordered our noodles and it came in soup topped with fishballs, slices of fish cake and most important of all the deep fried prawn crackers. The soup is tasty and sweet (thanks to the MSG), so didn’t take too much of that but the prawn crackers really makes a bit difference to what looks like an ordinary bowl of fishball noodles.

Each bite is crispy and crunchy with the prawn crackers and it was really good! I really enjoy the noodles, something new to me but just gotta be careful on the soup, don’t want to lose so much hair

Each bowl cost RM3.50 for small and RM4.00 for big. The place open as early as 7am and close at 2pm.
