One of my go-to shops is 一家园, a corner coffee shop at Nanas Road. The 树籽菜炒米粉 is quite tasty. It has wok hei and the umami from dried shrimps. Best of all, it only costs RM5.00. Since the shop opens early daily, it's a great place to eat before work .

Today's lunch venue was at Jenny's Little Vietnam. The food was pretty enjoyable. With the buy 1 free 1 promo, it was definitely worth eating there.

Beef Noodle Soup

Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls

I also took away some pork skewers and fried chicken wings ... they were both so tasty too! The pork skewers had a smoky flavour, and fried chicken was well-marinated.

Had lunch with the extended fam ... the meal was courtesy of Fourth and Fifth Aunts. Lunch was at BBQ King Seafood. It was a nice place to eat since it was totally empty. This place always fills up at night for dinner .... but for lunch, it was a different story. We didn't mind as we liked having the whole venue to ourselves. 

My favourite dishes were the Coconut Prawns and the Guinness Stout Pork Ribs. 

Coconut Shrimp

This is a signature dish of the restaurant; the gravy was well-spiced and really yum as a dip for the deep-fried bread 

Guinness Stout Pork Ribs 

Sweet and savoury, I liked the taste. The meat may be a bit tough for some. 

BBQ Pork Satay

Another signature dish ... Mom liked this but I didn't quite like the marinade that they used ... 

The other dishes we tried were the bamboo squid, the yam basket, the charcoal tofu. These dishes were alright, I suppose.

I also liked the fast service here.

Dinner and catch up with friends at Zhu Bistro. Parking is difficult at this area at Green Hill, so I carpooled with a friend. There are a couple of yummy items that I enjoyed ... like the spring rolls ... it has a bolognaise cheesy filling .... so it was really delicious. I also enjoyed the instant noodles, and the fried rice. We also had the grilled pork which was really yum. 

I look forward to coming back here for those items I like.

Just reached home. I flew all the way from Harbin yesterday at noon. Harbin to Changsha, Hunan to KL to Kuching. The journey was so far. Dinner with the fam at Wang Lai Seafood 

The food is reasonably-priced here. Tasted ok too.

The weather was wet and gloomy for days. Today, I went to Chicwan Cafe to catch up with some friends. Had the 糟菜粉干.

It was ok, reasonably portioned at RM10 ... sour but could be more fragrant. Certainly not the best I have had.

Went out for some errands with mom. Ate brunch at Morgan Pork Soup at Geylang Cafe, Sekama.

Business was brisk and I had to wait so long for my 猪肉分. A small bowl now sold for RM11. I added an egg, RM1 and liver, RM1. So in the end, RM13 for my bowl. I think the taste retained. It was still tasty, except that it was not hot enough ... that marred my overall satisfaction for the noodle soup.

I prefer the Fu Lok outlet at TT3 compared to RH Plaza. I think the noodles are cooked better there. I ordered the charsiu wanton mee, now RM11. I hadn't ordered it for so long ... previously, the noodles were sweet, due to the sweet charsiu sauce and I didn't like my noodles to be sweet. Now, however, it isn't so. They held back the sauce so now it's savourty. I prefer the version now ... It's a big bowl too!
