Yik Mun Pau @ Tg Malim

March 7, 2010October 4, 2010 dixonthum

It’s a very short trip to Tg Malim with CF. He will be moving there soon. We were there to see his rental house actually. He brought us to a shop which sells pau. It’s called Yik Mun Pau. We tried some curry chicken pau which taste delicious! Bought a packet back and a jar of kaya too!

The next morning, we had pau’s and kaya bread for breakfast. Yummilicious!

Curry chicken pau hot from the steamer…

Yummy Food We Love…

We’ve been trying out new food lately, basically, everywhere and here are some special dishes (or drinks) we wish you’ll love…

1) Old Taste Kopitiam @ Puchong

Mein’s a huge fan of this 3 layered milk tea. I liked it too! Very strong taste of pure gula melaka… Not all 3 layered milk tea are the same like this one.

2) Restoran Teow Chew Meng @ SS2

The shop…

There are a few other dishes that they serve but I love this the most! OCTOPUS!!! Yummy! Oh, and their peanut-ty sauce too! 🙂

3) Huge Curry Puff @ K3K

K3K – a new outlet in Entrepreneurs Park, Kuchai Lama (near my office lah)…

Look! Can you see how huge the curry puff is?! It’s only RM4.50 each… Buuurrpp!!!

4) Durian Pancake @ Sweet Chatz

Delicious… 3 pieces per plate…

Look at the creamy durian… gosh… drooling…

Glutinous Rice Balls = Tang Yuan 汤圆

December 24, 2009October 4, 2010 dixonthum

It’s ‘dong zhi’ (冬至) again. It is a special day in the lunar calendar and to the Chinese, it a day bigger or more important than the Lunar New Year. The main thing that we need to do is to have a big family reunion dinner on this special day. Another significant item (or shall I say, food) related to this special day is the glutinous rice balls (汤圆). I love these colourful 汤圆 very much, specifically those with ‘gula melaka’ fillings. Delicious!

Now get all the ingredients ready – colourful glutinous rice flour dough + ‘gula melaka’

Wrap the ‘gula melaka’ with the dough and shape them into small ball shapes…

Boil the balls in boiling water. Cooked ones will float.

Scoop out the cooked ones and dunk ’em into sweet pandan water… Served hot or chilled! 🙂

My New ‘IT’ Dessert – Snowflake Taiwanese Dessert

December 17, 2009October 4, 2010 dixonthum

Thanks to a colleague of mine who’s recommended this place to me. It’s located opposite Asia Cafe in Subang Jaya, same row with Pizza Hut. It’s called Snowflake Taiwanese Dessert Secrets (雪花栈). (We always call it 雪花楼 in Cantonese which sounds a bit like a brothel kinda shop in the good old days in China… Wakakaka!)

Must try their Best Seller. RM5.50 for a big bowl of shaved ice + gula melaka + condensed milk + cincau + yam and tapioca glutinous rice balls… YUMMY YUMMY!!!
