hokkien mee

Upon my staying at Serdang, i did not realize the existence of this place
until i came across a blog, i thought it was a gem
so since kwee yong and yc invited me for dinner
we headed for this place
each of the worker shirt was printed with:
I LOVE HOKKIEN MEE
cute huh

the hokkien mee..erm 1st mouth, not enough wok hei. to me its important that 'tai chao' have wok hei..2nd: the lard wasn't enough, wasn't it the ingredient that is crucial..but overall it is still not bad although to kwee yong, the portion was so small for 2 pax

loh mee..erm nothing to shout about also..but at least i get to eat tai lok mee after so long..


ha..the kam heong bali tong..although its pretty difficult to suck out the meat..but the process was enjoyable..tempting my companion that could not savor this due to sore throat..no worries..next time ill accompany you again..back to the food.the flavor was pretty nice..although i get pretty thirsty after tht..i guess it the msg..

the whole bill sum up to RM38..its a bit pricey don't they??

MIHAS 2nd practice

this was the 2nd practice for the MIHAS competition
but this time we were just preparing a mock instead of 4 full set
and they were for the meat subclass
do i fare good enough??
why don't you tell me??

kobe carpacio accompany with pistachio rock melon and strawberry vinaigrette

this time we only use tenderloin since kobe is too pricey, we leave it for the last practice...and i'm short of strawberries, replaced it with raspberries..the color just wasn't intense enough after blending.. the garlic coating the meat is just too strong and i was hoping the salt flavor to immerse more into the meat

the top view..urgh..when is my new plates coming?? just couldn't stand with the plate..to be truthful, this is just not good enough for me yet..

buttersquash soup with smoked chicken breast and mushroom timbales

1st: flavor of butternut is overpowering that shade of the stock
2nd: the stock just wasn't good enough..mummy made better stock
3rd: onion was just too coarse for timbale and i think shitake/portabellon will be more fragant
4th: of course, waiting the arrival of new soup bowl


lastly, roast rosemary lamb rack with potato choux pastry and saute summer vegetables
1st: its pretty obvious that the meat is overcooked!!
2nd: the sauce wasn't right..its suppose to be really really dark and thick and LESS OILY!!
3rd: the choux pastry should be more brown and even in size

the 1st trial for both subclass just sucks for me!!i wonder is this my only limit or my work have been limited due to intention of others??!!

sweet

i thought you were my childhood memories

but you just resembles them

a long journey from a far away land

landing safely on the palm of mine



wonder how you taste inside

will it be similar?

will it be as delicious?


you gave me surprises

you are different

you have other companion


inside the fragile paper

that lies you

ready to melt in my mouth

i will savor you

with delight and smiles

reunion

after days and days of torturing for exam
i need something to comfort myself and food will be at best choice
it also a coincidence that hooizhe ring carmen for dinner
though i wan to have my korean food but this would be good enough
meeting up wth hooi zhe and Jaclyn was awesome..i haven't seen them like ages
persuading carmen to go dragon_i cause i want to have my fav 'fu yong tan'

the place was really packed for a Monday night
service is bad and slow
but we are so busy updating each other on our life that we couldn't care less


we just can't stop talking
and this is remedy i need for a bad day
its always relaxing and fun to be with them
carmen did some funny check up on her staff..haha..
din take any 'human' pic coz everyone's face is not in good condition..haha..

stir fry fish fillet with long beans
all the dish was cold..urgh..bad bad..but this is already the best one for the day..
those sitting at the table is already earning big big four figure but i'm still....haih

my fav 'fu yong' egg
i break the yolk before remembering that i haven't snap
this time they overcooked the whites until it became lumpy and the egg weren't hot enough to cook the yolk..i must have it again!!

braised tofu with assorted mushroom..one word..TASTELESS!!

how can we not have their signature dumpling..yes its filled with soup but COLD too..how can this dumpling be cold
i think they should hire more stuffs since they are fully booked everyday...
Klangnites do love their Dragon_i huh

RM1 chicken
if you dine in from 6 to 9 pm and more than 3 ppl..u can have this chicken at RM1..yes RM1 i got no problem telling the truth..
but the convict: meat was hard (guess its frozen chicken), cold (guess they pre-prepared quite a lot), not flavorful enough (since they are in a rush)

i guess this is a bad night for dragon food..
but a good night with those girls..we chat until people start cleaning up the place..haha
girls..as they said non-stop bitching..

the night ends well after all
