Starbucks getting ready for Chinese New Year
Jan 5th
Was at Starbucks today as they launched their new Orange Zest drinks. They have the Honey Orange Frap (blended coffee or cream based) and the Honey Orange Latte. Personally, I find that the drink is a tad too sweet and it’s really ORANGE-GY taste. Brrrrr…. I don’t like the orange flavour (I only ordered it to get the key-chain).
Choong Kee (Kampar) Claypot Chicken Rice
Oct 4th
Went to this place in Damansara Jaya for Claypot Chicken Rice. I have to admit that I’m not a big fan of Claypot Chicken Rice … just not my thing. Furthermore, the owner now has his own shop … and still as lan si as ever (yet people still come here to eat … really don’t understand).
Here’s how the shop environment look like. It’s pretty crowded …
Basically what you need to do is to look at the menu posted on the wall and also available at each table. It has the basic MEDIUM (for 2) and SMALL (for 1) clay pot available as default. You then can add on stuff like lap cheong, salted fish, egg, etc. You then go to the back and place your order (nobody will take your order at the table .. except for drinks). There are also choices of soup available.
You noticed the pile of magazines there? That shows you an indication of … you have to wait for your food so don’t chase me…
So here’s the MEDIUM one …
And the SMALL one…
also the soup (peanut and pork ribs) and veggies.
The wait is long … and since I’m not really a fan of claypot chicken rice, I would be giving a bias review here. Therefore, I will not be giving any scores … let’s just say I ended up eating some other chicken…
Toast & Coffee
Oct 4th
Ever wanted to have good environment but yet not want to pay too much moolah?
Try out this place in uptown called T&C (next to perodua).
This is the nasi kunyih with chicken rendang. Yummy.
Here is the nasi tomato ayam (although, not too sure why the rice does not have tomato)
Toast bread (crispy) with kaya. Just something that you cannot miss when eating in a kopitiam area.
This is the curry mee.
I ordered the TC Special which is tea with gula melaka. Not too shabby.
This is lemon plum. Nice and refreshing.
The drinks counter where all your tasty drinks comes from.
Amarin Heavenly Thai – Mid Valley
Jan 6th
I found that most of the Thai food in town is managed by the same folks. Amarin is just one of the branches of Thai food restaurant scattered around KL and PJ. Strategically located in the centre court of Mid Valley, I find that the food here is quite nice and appetizing.
Even the plain water is served in a nice disposable plastic cup with a slice of lemon (this cost RM 0.50).
For starters, we ordered the Mix Combo which comes with money pouch, fried fish cake (cooked with lemongrass), bread, salad roll and prawn roll. Very nice indeed. (RM 18.00)
For the main course, we normally share among the both of us. I got the pineapple friend rice (Khow Ob Sapparod – RM 16.00) and of course the famous thai noodles (Phad Thai Gung – RM 15.00).
Get the Thai chilli sauce to compliment the meal.
