Restoran Ulang Corner - Puchong's finest Khao Jam or Nasi Kerabu and Dagang

Update May 2010! Alas, this branch is now closed. You can still visit the original shop at Kota Bharu!

Add: Restoran Ulang Corner - 26, Jalan Puteri ½, Bandar Puteri, Puchong
Tel: +016 236 6111 (Sam Goon) , +6016 340 0222 (Elaine Hew)
GPS (Unverified): N03o 01.593' E101o 36.947'
Located: Rather close to Giant
Opening hours: Daily, 11:00am - 9:30pm. Closed on 2nd and 4th Mondays each month.
Original stall, run by Sam Goon's mother: 4939-C, Jalan Wakaf Mak Zainab, Kota Bharu, Kelantan.

Quiet unassuming place, heavily recommended by RL ... Pretty decent, if you like authentic Kelantanese cuisine! Khao Jam time ;-)


We opted for the set (RM$8.90 - RM$9.90), which meant the drink and a soup was free. What great value!


I found the nasi kerabu to be complex, healthy (so much vege!) but it is an acquired taste, the "green-ness" of it wasn't completely to my liking. I did enjoy the fried chicken though!
Rasarasa.net ... Nasi Kerabu whose green coloured looking rice is cooked using over 40 different types of herbs that have blended together. It is served with sliced onion, strips of bunga kantan or ginger flower, chopped daun kesom or basil leaves, bean sprouts, sliced cucumber, cabbage, shredded fish, fried crackers and topped with desiccated coconut. Homemade fresh chilli sauce is served. You can order fried fish or chicken to go with it.


I liked this more! Delicious Nasi dagang :-)
Rasarasa.net ... This steamed brown rice dish is cooked using santan or coconut milk and turmeric. It comes with pickled carrot, cabbage, onion and chilli that have been cut into thin strips. This dish is also served with blanched cabbage, long beans, pineapple and a half slice of hard boiled egg. Homemade dried chilli sauce accompanies this dish, which is best eaten with ikan tengkol cooked in turmeric and santan or you can opt for kari ayam or chicken curry.


The fried fish (ikan goreng) was very fresh, RM$2.80 each.


Laksa Kelantan was colourful but bland ... I wouldn't order this next time! However, it was good value at RM$4.50.
Rasarasa.net ... Laksa Kelantan or laksa lemak containing blended fish cooked in kunyit and santan and garnished with chopped cabbage, sliced ginger flower, cucumber, chopped basil leaves rice and fresh chilli sauce to go with the rice noodles from Vietnam.
They even served us slices of Watermelon at the end of the meal ... it was a good way to spend a weekend afternoon!

RM3 Cafe Express, Puchong - Deceiving signage!

Add: RM3 Cafe Express - Ground floor, 30-32A Jalan Puteri 1/4, Puchong
Tel: +603 8063 8748
Owned by: Blue Toast Kopitiam, who happen to also run Cave - Couple Cafe, SS2

We were drawn to this cafe in Puchong on a cold rainy day, when we saw "50 desserts" and "RM3" on the signage outside the restaurant. TSK TSK ... How misleading! There were 5-6 desserts, and they weren't RM$3!


The waiter also promptly FORGOT our order of "bom-something", which was probably for the best as the drinks were horrendously sweet. I'd stick to Yippee Cup (SS2) if I am ever in need of a nai-char or pearl-tea!

If you really must know, we had ... Pearl bubble milk tea (RM$3), Cincau milk tea (RM$3.50 - Horrid!), Cold caramel coffee (RM$3), Fresh lemon honey (RM$3), and Cincau Soya Bean (RM$3 - Eeep, do I taste non-fresh / Drinho soya bean!?).

Kinrara Golf - La Salle Klang get-together

Add: Jalan Kinrara 6, Bandar Kinrara, Puchong
Tel: +603 807 62100
OL has a gorgeous swing ... and boy does he hit it miles!



Magic Mushrooms!?


CCY joined us for the round...

La Salle Klang bros :-)
Nice swing!

What a juicy, plump "fella"!

juliansi.blogspot.com - Struggled to string together good shots, putted decently, and drove rather well, but that was about it. Had trouble with iron-play, and surprisingly wedge-play too. Shot 52+57, bah!

Agngolf.com - Designed by Edward H Parslow and our in house designer En. Roslee Muda with most jaded of golfers in mind, Kinrara Golf Club (KGC) is conveniently located just 15-20 minutes drive from Kuala Lumpur via Sungai Besi/Kesas Highway.
Its 18 hole golf course presents new challenges for every golf enthusiast as the fairways,articulately positioned bunkers, challenging water hazards and its excellent green make KGC the ultimate golf rendezvous.

Hokkien Mee and Roast Duck, Reunion @ Bangsar Village 2

Been there done that ... I love going to Reunion at BV2 , its just a great place to go for some lunch or dinner. Prices are rather steep, but considering the food is great, the decor really nice, and service is good, I never complain!

Love them "leng ngao" (lotus) and peanuts, nice pickled starter...
So impressive... the Sambal which accompanied their famed and delicious Hokkien Mee, was steaming hot!

Best way to eat Hokkien mee, accompany it with some excellent Roast Duck.
The downside? The veges ... Too old!

Mizi Shabu Shabu Steamboat, Bandar Puteri @ Puchong

Yes .. I am on a steamboat frenzy :-) 2 days on the trot!



Add: Mizi Shabu Shabu @ No 17, Jln Puteri 2/5, Bandar Puteri, Puchong
Tel: +603 8060 3221
Opening hours: Mon - Sat (11.30am - 3pm, 6pm - 11pm)
& Sun (11.30am - 3pm, 5.30pm - 11pm

This is the "famous" sauce, a blend of oils, fried shallots, spring onions, and simply delicious .. but probably not very healthy! To add to this, each meat dish comes with a small dish of Sa Cha Cheong (Taiwan specialty) as well. Goes really well with the food!


We ordered a set ... Beef Slice Set (RM$20.90).


I loved the meats here, fresh, thinly sliced, and delicious ... Pork (Extra order @ RM$6) and Beef (which came with the set, but we ordered a 2nd dish @ RM$8).


All food stuff here is modular in nature i.e. you choose what you want, and you pay for each. Even the soup! Each person gets their own Steamboat, or more like Shabu Shabu, which is a small cauldron with a very fast acting and hot electric heater below (All very hygienic I have to say! And dare I saw ... modern!). My choice of soup was Herbal Soup A (RM$3.30), whilst my buddy had ABC soup (Which is simply onions, carrots and potatoes) @ RM$2.
We also ordered some ... Fresh fish slices (RM$7)


Other dishes we ordered ...
Pork meatball (Small @ RM$3)
Kum Chum Koo aka Straw or needle mushrooms (Enoki) @ RM$6 a plate (We had two)
Crystal bean curd (RM$3.50)
Pumpkin slice (RM$2)
Dried seaweed (RM$2)
Chinese parsley (RM$1)
Taro slice (RM$2.50)

The final bill? A little over RM$81. For 2 persons. Ouch!!


Overall, I was left a little dissapointed ... the meal started off great, but again with the copious amounts of MSG, the taste just seemed to diminish as the meal went along. I remember from a previous (and first) visit to Mizi Shabu Shabu Steamboat , it seemed a lot yummier. Hmmm....

O' My Juice ! Eeep...

Spotted at Puchong ... oh my!

Mexim Tim Sum in Puchong

Thought I'd give Bandar Puchong Jaya a try again, having been dissapointed previously at Yuen Garden Tim Sum! This was of course part of my Sunday morning ritual ... The meal started great with steaming hot and fresh Siew Mai.


The Foo Chuk with Prawns were rather good too, and the Chee Cheong Fun (Char Siew Cheong Fun) was really good ... nice sambal.


These were simply average ...


And these were poor! Bland tasteless porridge ... Prawn Cheong Fun was so poor, especially compared to the yummy Char Siew variety I had eaten before.


Overall, a rather mediocre experience, meal came up to RM$35.
