SS2 Murni

SS2 Murni is a very popular yumcha place around the area. According to a frequent customer there, everything there is nice. They do not have menus, but there's a lot of varieties, from Chinese, Mamak, Malay to Western. Based on our taste buds, there's pork inside the food. Thus, we thinked that it's not Halal.

One of the famous dish there is Claypot Lo Xu Fen (direct translation - Claypot Mee Tikus?). Mee Raja, though the appearance is not that attractive, it's delicious (RM7).

The fruit juice there is nice. They have 2 versions for the juice. Let's say Mango juice, they have the normal and the special one. The price difference is only RM1. But, there's a lot of difference in the ingredients, quantity and taste. Normal mango juice, of course, the usual ones (RM4). Mango juice special - they mixed with lychee juice, with lychee, watermelon and nata de coco inside (RM5).

Team Dinner @ La Bodega

La Bodega is an authentic Spanish Tapas Bar in Pavilion. Last Friday, my team had our team dinner there. The first impression on the menu is - too many pages, many unknown dishes and the list of drinks is more than food. The food there is really nice! But, with a price. A simple, normal juice can easily cost more than RM10.

Trip to Singapore

This is a very belated post of my recent visit to Singapore a few weeks ago.

Must-go places in Singapore:

Clark Quay
A very happening place at night. It is situated beside the river. There is a lot of restaurants and pubs by the river side.


River side view of Clark Quay
Bugis Junction
A shopping complex connected to the Bugis MRT. In the food court, there is a variety of food. The Korean fried chicken there is nice. It’s a very big slice of fried chicken, of the similar outlook as the famous Taiwan fried chicken. Gelato is a term used to Italian ice-cream. Comparing this and Leka Leka, this is much much more nicer.


Vivo City

Singapore Flyer Something like Eye of Malaysia. I have never been to Eye of Malaysia, so no comments on which is better.

Sentosa Island
The underwater world is rather small. But I sure like the glass over.

Yummy places in Singapore:

Shokudo
Japanese food restaurant with a lot of branches around Singapore. It is serving Japanese style western food. There is a lot of choices for spaghetti. For every type of spaghetti sauce, it has its own menu.

TCC
A western food restaurant. Something like Secret Recipe but better and more expensive. But, their specialty is not in cakes. The spaghetti is nice. For those who are able to take high caffeine, the drink called “Morning Dew” is recommended. It is very fragrance.



Korean food @ Food Republic, Vivo City
They have the typical Korean restaurant menu there. However, the price is considerably cheap for its quality and amount. I was able to have a taste of long lost Kimchi (more to Seoul type). The tofu served in the songdubu supu (tofu soup) is really soft and fresh. However, the soup is not spicy enough. The beef slice rice is quite nice as well. It reminded me of the one I used to have in one of the cafeteria in Dongseo University.



McDonald
They have a series of ice blended drinks (eg: ice-blended mocha) which is not available in Malaysia. It’s nice, the taste can match up to Starbucks/ Coffee Bean and it’s available @ around 5 SGD.

KFC
The original recipe here is crunchier. As for the mashed potatoes, the potato is smoother and finer, but the sauce seems to be lacked of spices.

Original Recipe - very crunchy
Imperial Treasure Restaurant
One word is more than enough to describe the food here, “delicious”! The price is reasonable. The portion is huge. According to my friend TG, the “xiao long bau” here is even better than Dragon-i. I couldn’t compare since I have never being to Dragon-i. But, the “xiao long bau” is indeed nice!

Last but not least,

Ichiban Boshi

As the name implies, it is a Japanese restaurant. I am not sure if they have many branches around Malaysia, but the shop which I have visited is in Pavilion. There is many variety for sushi and the portion is a lot. Of course, it is a bit pricy than usual. I ordered Chicken Donkatsu @ RM13.90, excluding tax and service charge. The portion is huge, but the chicken is a bit dry. My colleague ordered another dish and his was yummy. Overall, it's worth trying out.

p/s: They have sushi for sell for take-away as well (in front of the shop). It's much cheaper. For sushi with egg, it is only RM0.50/ RM0.70.

Kampung Baru Nasi Lemak

Kampung Baru is a Malay village right inside of KL city very near to KLCC. But, what I didn't know is, this place is famous for its "nasi lemak". There are 2 famous stalls here - commonly know as the plate and the "bungkus"(packed) one. The plate one is served like the economy rice. However, the "bungkus" one is served in the traditonal triangle packaging, wrap up with newspaper and banana leaves. I went to both places for dinner before. Personally, I prefer the "bungkus" one. In addition, it is cheaper as well (RM0.70 for each pack, but the portion is not much). I took 3 packets - RM2.10. You can take some other side dishes, such as curry chicken. Of course, there will be extra charges.
