What A combination.....

Usually i will skip my breakfast because if i insist of taking any then the whole morning will be a disaster..i'll be sleepy then...but nowadays the trend has changed...i learned to skip my lunch instead....need to save some pennies.....alrite...today my sister drove me to office so we stopped at a mamak stall in Cheras...cos i heard their Nasi Lemak is so special (Nasi Lemak = Fatty Rice : Direct translation) and its an authentic Malaysian Food. Nasi Lemak can be found in some countries apart from Malaysia such as Singapore and Indonesia but off cos the taste wouldn't be the same my dear. Malaysian people prefer spicier nasi lemak while people in singapore prefer less spicier and indonesians hate spicy food hence their nasi lemak will be sweeter.


Nasi lemak is actually a kind of rice topped with some sambal (spicy gravy) that is wrapped in banana leaf. The rice is made of coconut milk and some slices of ginger to add some aroma to the rice. Since the rice is made of coconut milk hence it is known as fatty rice (high calory lah)..the spicy gravy is actually made of chilly extract, wether its dried chilly or normal fresh ones depends on the cook. Some limegrasses will make the sambal more tastier and aromatic. The main item of the sambal would normally be anchovies, fish, egg, chicken and so on. Its a norm to wrap nasi lemak with banana leaves as it is believed the banana could preserve the aroma, the taste and the originality of nasi lemak beside giving it a more traditional and Malaysian look...and its clean too...


So nasi lemak is some of the best breakfast menu among Malaysian accompanied with Teh Tarik (Milked Tea) or Teh "o" (Tea without milk).


I took nasi lemak with a cup of "kow" teh tarik...sedapnyer (delicious)...and above all it's cheap and easy.


So guys....try some today and post me some comments chow and adios...

Food Summary:

Nasi lemak : RM1.00
Teh Tarik : RM 1.10
Teh "o" : RM 0.90

Love at first bite...Roti Boy

Today morning on my way to work i thought of getting a pack of nasi lemak..Nasi lemak is among my favorite breakfast menu...then on second thought, i stopped at one of my favorite too..Nasi Kandar shop in cheras (Taman Len Sen, place where i stay lah)..to eat their roti canai with dhal curry and sambal ikan bilis....wahhh....roti canai(looks like a pie but really crunchy if served hot) with teh tarik (Milk Tea)is Malaysian most sought after breakfast dishes. So i ordered 2 roti canai "banjir"(soaked in curry) with a glass of teh'o'limau (lime tea). Since i had a heavy breakfast i thought of skipping my lunch.

Once i departed from the LRT in KLCC station...a kind of mesmerizing aroma caught my sense...i knew its Roti Boy....and it has been quite while i have not purchased roti boy..so today morning i did buy two...i still remember..roti boy was literally introduced to me by my fren in KL...surprisingly after tasting it for the first time..i was addicted to the soft, hot and irresistable taste of roti boy and its aroma.


Since then i will always make it a point to buy roti boy everytime i come down to KL because although i have tried looking in many other places, i still cant grab anything as original as tastier as roti boy. I was in Sungei Petani once and apparently i found a that looks like roti boy but known as Papa Roti among Sungai Petani locales. The taste is obviously different and still incomparable to the original Roti Boy. Papa roti is available in Central Square opposite Watsons.



Some similar buns are also being sold in many bakeries and usually known as Mexican Bun...seriously telling..it sucks and it not worth buying it after u had roti boy. Roti boy is a kind of bun with coffee, brown sugar and custard sugar (blended) as the toppings. The bun is made of flour and butter and sugar. The topping is the one that provides the sensational aroma while the bun tastes sweet and salty because of the salted butter and sugar.



The only thing that i hate the most is the queue. Almost everyday one can expect a long queue at the cashier counter because Roti Boy confectionaries does not only sells Roti boy's Siganture bun but also variety of cakes, breads, sandwishes and buns.
The price for per bun (Roti boy) is RM1.80...its worth it. Roti boy is available at ground floor of KLCC opposite Nandos and at the rear entrance of KLCC from the LRT exit and also available in Alamanda, Putrajaya. I am not very sure of any other location. i have not heard about Mama Roti or Uncle Roti since we have Papa Roti in the line.


The Roti Boy has its own tagline...saying..


So guys...give it a try and post me your comments.....oohh...Roti Boy..Love at First bite....So tender..so soft...so sexy...oopps..

Summary of Roti Boy
Price : RM 1.80

Malacca Food - Part 1

I am planning for a trip to malacca somewhere next weekend with a bunch of family and friends. Malacca is among the best place that holds many historical monuments and places. When i mention about food, off course the best treat would be the Baba & Nyonya or Peranakan style of cuisine available in original shape and taste. Among the best is the Baba Nyonya cendol. Cendol is delightful dessert soaked in pure coconut milk. The content of cendol is none other than some mashed red beans, noodles like green cendol strings (made of rice flour, i assume) and blended with pure gula melaka (palm sugar syrup). it's creamy and best served with blended ice. I heard that the best cendol in Malacca is in Antik 88 shop along Jonker Street. So gonna make sure i taste it and i will definitely upload the pic's.



If you are in Malacca, don't forget to get your mouth busy with its famous Portuguese dishes. San Pedro Restaurant is among the oldest portuguese restaurent in Malacca located in Portuguese Settlement. It offers variety of homemade portuguese cuisine. The prices are quite expensive but the environment and the concept of the restaurant is amazing. Among the must try menu is their mouth watering signature dish - Devil Curry.

I will offer more menus after my vacation to Malacca. We have booked an apartment (don't ask me where pls...m incharge of the eating spots !).

Blog For All Food Cravers

The election is over, SPM result is out and STPM too. UMNO is under crisis, Tun Mahathir just quits UMNO, what else will the political world offer us? M tired of politics, can anyone suggest me wer can i get a wonderful and juicy cendol in Kuala Lumpur? No one..? That's disastrous. My brain was tired so i paused forumming and went out for a nite drink. Since i could not make out wer exactly m heading i drove back to my home. I then made myself a "kow" iced milo, "ahhhuuhh", that was great, i felt the chillness of the iced milo running down my throat, m overwhelmed off cos. Then i started to think, why cant i find any good blog that provides me any guide about food around Malaysia. Or maybe there are some, but i might have missed them. So i decided to contribute something differently, i wanna transform my blog into a Food Guide. Sounds good rite. Basically, i love to cook and eat myself but living in KL does not permit me to do so. It is not expensive but i dont have the sufficient time for it, maybe during the weekends. Eventually, fast food or instant food are the first option. However,eating the same food at the same stall or restaurant sometimes make my life miserable, thus , i prefer munching some wholemeal bread and low fat milk (the best source to keep me fit but not really healthy)then.



Where do all this people are heading? It is lunch time and they are walking fast to grab a seat for a lunch (seats are to be seated). Many shops, restaurants and stalls will be crowded with people from different walks of lives regardless of their skin colors. Food stalls serving varieties to their customers will always be the center of attraction among the people in KL.



People will tend to look out for different menus everyday. In a big city like KL, food is not a problem but to eat the right food at reasonable price are important and quite difficult. So via this blog, i will make sure the readers are equipped with all the necessary information of food and prices and off cos the best place to dine - all under one roof - along with the pic of the food, if possible lah.

Hope i could cater the need of all food cravers. Make my page as your one-stop guide of food spots and some information on Malaysia's tourist spots too.
