With The Berry-licious Stories
My gang of friends has been acting weird lately. They seems to hunt after some kind of cuisine which I don’t usually go for – that’s the vegetarian cuisine. And the weirdest thing is that they are doing it every Friday. I thought, people will …
BENG NAKI KUMI! (Kristang language) It means Come Here and Eat! It’s the month of Ramadhan, I get to join the buka puasa crowd at Simply Mel’s. Thanks to Aly for the lovely invitation 🙂 Simply Mel’s, a new restaurant serving Malacca Portuguese cuisine is …
Who doesn’t know this famous Hung Kee Wanton Mee located at Jalan Loke Yew?!
Established since mid of 1960s by the Phoon family from a small shoplot and now has expanded to air conditioned shoplots and a branch in Taman Shamelin Perkasa.
I frequent to their branch; say like once a week after grocery shopping nearby and ordered myself a plate of wanton mee. Hmmm, to be specific, that will be their noodles with char siu (BBQ pork) only (RM 4.50 per plate). You can always have their noodles with char siu and wanton (come in 6 pcs) but I never like their wanton(s) as the skin may be too thick to me.
Their wanton noodles are handmade; every strand is springy in texture and tossed in well seasoned sauce. Do opt for semi-fat char siu (半肥瘦叉烧) that comes fattier (this time the char siu was not fatty enough); I enjoyed chewing the fatty charred part that gave a sweet aftertaste.
Verdict: Their char siu may not be the best one you have had; but the yellow thin strands of springy noodles are something you will love. Another reason I love coming here is, I don’t have to fight through the traffic and travel down to Jalan Loke Yew for a plate of wanton mee as we have one Hung Kee (their branch) in Cheras 🙂

After a night swinging with the beautiful melody at No Black Tie, I got a bit lazy and unmotivated the next day. Ohhhh, Chinese oldies are beautiful; especially when they performed them in a jazzy way.
My girl friends knocked off my laziness and dragged me over for a cuppa and a late lunch at Ristretto, Mont Kiara. Ristretto serves Peruvian dishes. The ambiance was small but cozy; suitable for a perfect afternoon tea or daily caffeine fix.
We started with something new from the menu. Papa a la huancaina persona (RM 18).
It was the boiled potatoes and egg served with the spicy sauce; the sauce came creamy and spiced and drenched all over the potatoes. But well, I would prefer the sauce to be made in a more appetizing way.
Jalea Mixta (RM 35)
It was like the seafood platter; loaded with deep fried seafood such as squids, prawns, mussels, clams and tapioca.
Remember I told you guys I had a homestay with aunt and family?! Well, I was lucky as my aunt brought us to Marina Bay Sands and had a night stay over there. Woo hooo…… I am sure you must have heard so much about …
Yay! Tea Time!!! I settled myself at Su’s Cakes for Kicks while waiting for the parents to do their shopping. Digging into a piece of cheese cake and sipping away the hot caffeine drink. If only the place has better privacy setting, I would stay …
