Cao Cao BBQ Lamb and Wantan Mee @ Jalan Kuchai Lama
Oct 8th
In Kuchai Lama there’s a hawker stall called Cao Cao specialized in selling BBQ Lamb. Yes, you’re seeing this right, the hawker stall actually shares the name with a Three Kingdom’s warlord lol.
It’s a rare sight if you ask me because usually when lamb chop is mentioned, it’s associated with either Western Food stall or restaurant. When I first heard about it from a friend, it was surprisingly cheap @ RM6 per portion, and most importantly it was said to be quite tasty too.
I think I was too late to try the BBQ Lamb when it was at only RM6. The night SL and I went, the smallest portion was selling at RM8 already. It was served with some chili and mint sauce for dipping. Click here to continue reading >
Uncle Leong Seafood – Crabbylicious Crabs @ Ang Mo Kio Ave 3
Oct 4th
If you guys don’t know yet, I have relocated to Singapore due to work reasons. I have been here for a week and I will continue to be here for at least a year or longer till my new project ends. To be honest, I was quite hesitant about traveling to Singapore because everything I had is in Malaysia but I took up the opportunity after all.
I am currently in the midst of sorting out my life – finding a room to stay, getting Internet access, adapting to new job responsibilities and etc. So if you feel I have been slow in updating and find my recent entries are posted very cincai-ly, this is the reason lol.
Since I am talking about Singapore, I might as well talk about the food. One month prior to relocating to Singapore, SL and I took a weekend trip here. That time, I kinda knew I was going to work in Singapore soon but nothing was officially confirmed yet.
The first night of our trip we took a bus to Ang Mo Kio Ae 3 to try some crab dishes in Uncle Leong Seafood Restaurant, a seafood restaurant highly recommended by her sister who have dined there a couple of times.
I noticed that many seafood restaurant in Singapore serves Sri Lanka Crab for their crab dishes, Uncle Leong included. Sri Lanka Crabs are like a much bigger version of the mud crab or meat crab we always see in Malaysia.
A must try dish in Uncle Leong would be his Crab Mee Hoon, in which a whole Sri Lanka Crab is used to prepare a claypot’s portion of mee hoon. I was quite skeptical about the taste initially but the dish totally blew my mind. It was freaking CRABBYLICIOUS.
This is the size of a single claw from the Sri Lanka crab, just look at its monstrous size (use the chopstick and compare). And this is found in a coffee shop under in a normal HDB block, not any classy seafood restaurant! Click here to continue reading >
Roast Duck Rice @ Everyday Food Court, Puchong
Oct 1st
When having dinner together one night recently, a close friend of mine AhJames mentioned to me that Everyday Food Court‘s Roast Duck Rice is quite good. Heeding his recommendation, I purposely dropped by Puchong one day for lunch at the said food court even though my office was located at Cyberjaya. This food court was one of my favorite places to have dinner when I was still a undergraduate in MMU.
I specifically ordered for roast duck drumstick but was given a normal plate @ RM4 instead. Ah well, never mind.
The roast duck meat was lean but was quite fatty under the skin. Taste wise it was not bad at all, nothing to complain about. Click here to continue reading >
