Malaysia Food Blog – Apple Foodees

Thanks to GTower management and VK, for the great experience I had at G City Club Hotel last year. Strategically located at the heart of Kuala Lumpur City Centre, this hotel is the first Green Building in Malaysia. Hotel guests will receive complimentary vouchers for each night stayed to have welcome drink and tapas at the Bridge Bar.

Don’t ask me what this is but it sure does look pretty albeit very tasteless. The garlic bread on the other hand was very crunchy and the portion served was huge.

As for drinks, each guests may order either beer, red or white wine from the Bridge bar.

My first impression on the Bridge Bar is that, it somewhat resembles the smaller version of our twin tower, KLCC. The bridge is built with huge glasses allowing guests to enjoy the city skyline at a different part of Kuala Lumpur.

I have to admit that I never ever thought of visiting Kuantan at all. To me, Kuantan is just a stop to get to Cherating, Tasik Kenyir, and other attraction on the northen east of Peninsula Malaysia. This year, we decided to visit the popular place to watch the sunrise, Bukit Panorama, located close to Sungai Lembing in Kuantan.

Well, it didn’t went well that day as it was the monsoon season, and we ended up cancelling our hike up the hill as Sg. Lembing was overflowing. It flooded part of the town. For those who do not know, Sg Lembing is located 40km away from Kuantan town. So if the news reports that Kuantan is flooded, it could be only Sg Lembing is flooded and not Kuantan town itself.

Well, lets get back to our food review. This time, we had the opportunity to dine in one of the best Thai food restaurant in Kuantan, the Wan Seafood & Tomyam Sara Thai Kitchen.

As access to a very good fresh stock of seafood is easily available in Kuantan, it is a norm for tourists to hunt for seafood here. Well, what other better ways to enjoy seafood other than to enjoy it in a Thai restaurant. The food here is considerably cheap. A lot cheaper than in Kuala Lumpur! Not only the food is very affordable, it is delicious. Curry Squid @ RM6.

Seafood Tom Yam @ RM6.

It is not unusual nowadays to find that our normal hawker food sold at an expensive rate compared to the price they were, several years back. Not only the rise of the petrol price and the food shortage around the world has triggered the food price to rise, our very own lifestyle is to be blamed also. The younger generation hungers to be served with better quality of food without compromising the taste. And Champ’s Bistro at Centrepoint, Bandar Utama has not only set the bar higher but also it offers one of the most expensive bowl of prawn mee! Yeah. This is possibly the most expensive prawn mee that I have come across.

“Damn Shiok” Hokkien Prawn Mee
A giant bowl of golden egg noogles, juicy pork ribs and “king kong” size prawns in a steaming ocean of the best home cooked stock in the world! TRY IT!

Champs’s prawn mee comes with much larger prawns served with some juicy pork ribs. One dissappointing factor, is that they advertised in their menu that each bowl comes with three (3) prawns, however, we only got two prawns only. Looking through some other bloggers who had blogged about this place, Champs’ had downsized their bowl of prawn mee from 3 prawns to 2 prawns. Things are getting more expensive, I suppose. Nevertheless, a bowl of Champs’ Damn Shiok Hokkien Prawn Mee is priced at RM20.90.

“Always order the restaurant’s favourite dish or most popular dish whenever possible“. This is one of the most important thing that you must do every time you dine in any restaurant. Not every restaurant is good in every dish. They might be a master in preparing certain dishes and also at the same time, an amateur in another. This is what I’ve learned after having a dinner at Puzzini Swedish Pizza in Damansara Utama, PJ.

Although the name strongly suggest that they are good in pizza and customers should order it, we didn’t. Is it a mistake? I do not know. I have yet to try their pizza yet. But as for the dishes we’ve ordered, I am quite disappointed with some of their food.

Puzzini’s news articles are pasted all over in front of their restaurant. Afraid that their customers might actually miss it, they even attached these newspaper articles in their menu. As Puzzini were in the press for many times, we couldn’t refrain ourselves from ordering the dish suggested by them. Scheweizer Chop is the must order dish. Priced at RM17.80, it is a decent course which comes with chicken breast meat stuffed with cheese, mushroom and sauce.

More and more restaurants are opening their business in other states to save the people’s trouble from travelling all the way to the main restaurants to try their special dish. Restoran Sup Lembu Tangkak is one of them. To be really honest, I wouldn’t know about this until I came across their branch in Jalan Imbi, Kuala Lumpur. Thanks to VK who recommended me. Originating from Tangkak, Johor, they specialises in beef soup noodles.

I do not particularly like internal organs, hence, whenever possible, I would always opt for the meat only. So I ordered myself beef and tendon served with kuey teow. This particular bowl is RM8.90.

This is my second visit to Shah Alam’s Ramadhan market: Ramadhan Food Market 2009 at Shah Alam.

Shah Alam’s ramadhan market is one of the largest ramadhan market in Malaysia. There are more than a hundred stalls here. Hence, it is common to see several stalls selling the same food. Therefore, it is really your luck to choose the better stall to get your favourite Malaysian food.

My favourite has got to be chickens. You may find barbequed ones, grilled ones, “golek” ones and etc…

Chicken golek is quite extraordinary to me, as I cannot find it anywhere in Kepong. But I guess it’s just a massive production of “Kenny Roger’s” style of cooking. Well, of course, the price here is cheaper. It’s only RM17 for the whole bird and RM9 for half a bird.
