Restaurant Sun Ming - Takeaway!
This is one of the few yummy lunches that i managed to enjoy during our lunch hour, a nice break from all the food court and mamak food we normally get around office!!
My colleague was nice enough to offer a takeaway for us from one of the famous duck rice near her house in Cheras. They also have siew yoke and char siew but i was in the mood for duck rice with the additional sour vege soup (hmm duno wats that called in chinese)...yuuummmyyy!! Thanks Rachel!!
* sorry blur pictures since taken via hp....haha and i regret not taking the pic before pouring my chilli sauce all over the duck!!

When I was in Malacca...
the best mee siam (after my aunt's super fantastic & unrivaled mee siam) i've tasted was in malacca where it is slightly wet compared to the dry ones i've tasted so far...it is served in the morning at this makan place that is only known as 'under the tree'...i've been there 3 times and all 3 times i forgot to ask the name and fail to remember the location of this particular place even when i do make an effort to remember the way there. but apparently, if you ask the locals they would know which one you're talking about so there's still hope there. the pai tee is pretty good too!
back then, didn't own a camera so had to rely on my phone to take pictures so that explains the non-sharp image.

Everyone sings LaLaLa~ @ Morib!
part 2 of the road trip was rather impromptu and just damn random, as with everything else whenever me and my high school mates get together and we always end up having lots of fun and candid moments that make life really, really sweet!
after beggar's chicken at jugra, kokseng brought us to see his condo unit at gold coast, morib and what was initially meant to be a brief stop over turned into a 2 hours+ hang out that saw us enjoying the super hot but windy beach in an adorable hut, taking turns to ride the mini bikes and taking lots of random funny pictures.
right after that we were so thirsty and wanted to stop by Sea-view Restaurant for coconut drinks which we found out later that they didn't have any and randomly ended up having dinner there instead!
o'chien, fried oyster
fresh, juicy lala steamed in rice wine and ginger.
girls just wanna have fun!
what : recommended dishes : steamed prawns (must-try! we didn't order but i've tasted it numerous times with my family and it's just damn good!), dried curry stingray, kam heong crabs, kam heong mantis prawns, o'chien (fried oysters).
where : Restoran Sea-view

Begging for More @ Jugra (Beggar's Chicken)
yesterday, a bunch of us went to Jugra to finally savour the much talked about beggar's chicken after a year long's wait and boy it was sooo worth the wait!
a good friend, kokseng wore multiple hats, bringing us to this village-y restaurant in a remote place that only entertain diners by appointment only! kokseng, being a superb host of the day made all the necessary arrangements prior to bringing us there and we couldn't have been more glad that he took the lead! he booked us a table, ordered all the dishes and even brought us to see his future beach house which we have booked in advance for 2010 christmas party!
the chicken was cooked in this little 'hot room' that looked like it belonged to a construction site rather than a restaurant...there was mud involved in the preparation and at a corner, there was pails of mud and they just further complemented the 'construction site' feel.
we certainly felt the heat...
i must say the 'cooking' process was not very pretty...looked more like cement packs from a construction site hahaha!
we played 'Guess' when these arrived.
presenting the famous beggar's chicken of Jugra! sampled it and totally understand why people would travel to eat this. everything tasted just right, the meat wasn't hard, the sauce was just right although a little bit herb-y but well, we did order a herb-fused dish so...
i'm not a big fan of duck but this duck was awesome!
this pork knuckles was really tasty too! and the meat was just so tender and juicy!
the fish was served in a fish-cake form and arranged quite interestingly too! (compared to the rest of the dishes which scored 0 in presentation effort)
we paid about RM 258 for 6 dishes which included vegetables and a chicken soup (which by the way was super tasty, the meat of the chicken has the herb-y taste too as opposed to the most that i've tried before which only had the soup tasting good and the chicken meat tasteless) which were not featured here.
if i recall properly, i believe the chicken was RM 48. hahaha, sorry, was too engrossed in my food to really remember and i think someone threw away the bill so for the lack of accuracy, i'll just say it's about rm50 max for anything 'beggar prepared'.
and our makan trip didn't just end there, we then went to Morib...(see following post).
what : recommended dishes, beggar's chicken, beggar's duck, beggar's pork, glutinous rice, chicken soup.
where : jugra

XL Mantis Prawns!
it's such a bummer that i can't recall the name of the restaurant that serves this but it's the restaurant before port village in port klang. they serve some neat seafood but my experience there twice so far hasn't been a good one as they were not very 'honest' with their food.
we ordered one particular kind of fish called 'Ang Cho' (hokkien) and they gave us 'Ang Kuey' which was another kind of fish that isn't from the higher quality of fish in terms of taste, meat etc and insisted that it was 'Ang Cho' which was more expensive.
so if any of you go there to check the food out, make sure you know what you're ordering and be wary of what they actually serve you.
worth mentioning however is their xxl sized mantis prawns that was prepared sort of 'yim kok' (baked with salt). this prawns are seasonal however.
see the steel spoon for size comparison...yeap i wasn't lying when i say xl.

Satar @ Warung Che Wan, Kemaman
Our jalan-jalan cari makan expedition has brought us to Kemaman for some Satar. We have been introduced to Satar by Itadakimasu, and ckkuan managed to scout us the best Satar in Kemaman, Warung Che Wan.
It’s a triangular shaped fish paste wrapped in banana leaf, BBQ-ed over low fire.
We ordered a set of 16 pieces and initially we had doubts about finishing them as our stuffed crab we had in Tong Juan have yet to digest. Grilled to perfection, the Satar is sweet and juicy without the fishy smell.
Yumz….. will definitely visit this place again. Other than the Satar, they also serve otak-otak, keropok lekor, laksa, nasi air and other malay delicacies.
