Nasi Kukus Pandan @ Pertama Complex

 

A customer brought me to this place during lunch ~ it was a surprise to my taste bud.. Following her recommendation we ordered the Nasi Kukus Pandan and Ayam Dara Goreng Berempah combo:

The steamed rice is fragrant, so is the fried ‘virgin’ chicken. The outer part of the chicken is crispy yet at the same time the flesh is still soft, juicy and tender, on top of being fresh and sweet! Definitely worth RM4.50 for this!

The service was quite fast and the chicken is served still sizzling fresh from the wok.

Note: Bagan Lalang is a coastal beach in Sepang. Around 80km drive from Bandar Sungai Besi. Journey might take a little more than an hour due to small kampung roads after the Sepang F1 Circuit. http://wikitravel.org/en/Bagan_Lalang

The Sunsets, taken out from car window and windscreen while driving. Bad focusing since car is moving. Arrived destination too late for beach side sunset photography.

Crave for imported Pringles – satisfied!

It has been soooo long I’ve been quietly living with discontent. Just imagine having (made in Masai, Johor) Pringles invading your buccal cavity. Urgh the disgrace. The humiliation. What happened to freedom of choice?!?!

Here I was happily walking along Jalan Gading (sandwiched between Starhill and what’s left of KL Plaza) into this relatively unknown shop called 168 Store to get my Nescafe can when I saw it. The familiar looking Julius Pringles printed on cans that are bigger than usual. For those that has not noticed the diameter of Masai Pringles can are slightly smaller than those imported ones.

So what if it costs RM6.90 per can. Tonight , there is one more satisfied male on planet Earth!

 

Check out the Flavor Seal, not like the cheap looking paper seal on the local can..

 

..and his royal highness in all things salty and crispy

 

 

On another unrelated matter check out this piece of friend drumstick I got from Taman Desa KFC last night.. photographed next to Raymond’s ‘apparently gigantic hand’ for comparison. Not to be mistaken with chicken wing drummettes.

 

Another comparison, this time with their small plastic spoon; OK so i figure times are really bad yes?

Energ!z!ng: Herbal Duck Drumstick Soup Noodles, Bidor

I fondly remember this place since I was a kid. Almost every year my parents would drop by whenever we are driving to Penang on our annual visit ‘balik kampung’. Been meaning to blog about this since then, but there are always some form of inconvenience; I'm either lazy, and oh ya, there was no blogging in 1985 =D.

So this time around I had to travel to Penang (again) for work. On the way home I was feeling sleepy, in fact I was feeling sleepy since passing Taiping. Then decided to drop by Bidor to rest a bit. And eat some noodles.

Name of place is Restoran Pun Chun, located on one of the busiest streets of Bidor. It is a corner shop, taking up two shop-lot space. It is not pretentious, still retaining the authentic feel of kopi-tiam from ages back. The restaurant serves a variety of dishes (which I could not explore yet) and tasty biscuits and bakeries. Note: This place serves non-halal food. Yum

The dish of concern? Here it is! Hot, tasty, ENERGIZING! For only RM6.60 per bowl, you get fragrant herbal soup with one whole drumstick. And my feeling of fatigue are completely gone after the tasty treat!

It’s only 1km away from the toll entry. Opens daily, 5am till 10pm. Ah, there are lots of petai being sold along the street too. The Chinese community speaks Cantonese in this town.

Here’s an artist’s sketch of its location.
