PappaRich - The Gardens, Mid Valley City

One of our favourite malls in Malaysia, The Gardens ... This is a view of the 3rd floor.


We like PappaRich a lot ... and the outlet at The Gardens serves perhaps the best food of any PappaRich outlet. Yes, its subjective, but taste and food always is anyway!

Add: T-237A & T-237B, 3rd Floor - The Gardens, Mid Valley City, Lingkaran Syed Putra, KL

Kai See Hor Fun (Shredded chicken kuay-teow in soup) is my favourite dish here ... The kon-loh (dry) version just doesn't have the same ... ooomph!

Gong Hey Fatt Choy from ... Tanjung Malim :-)


A special loh-sang evening, late one night in Tanjung Malim ...

We decided to give R and DS' favourite BKT-joint a try when we were home recently ... Located not far from the Indian temple beside Motorola / Western Digital.


Average tasting BKT by my books ... give me Klang any day :-) Ah Sang serves the herbal and not-so-black variety.


Spare parts ... R, is this kidney or liver :-) This comes in the BKT broth but with a dash of chinese wine. And yummy tau foo pok on the right.


Phew, they still had Yau Char Kuey :-)


One has a choice of Oil Rice, which is very good ... or plain white rice.

Hibachi Sushi & Robata - Excellent japanese in Bukit Tinggi, Klang

We have a new favourite Japanese in Klang ... good value, really good service, fresh food and no traffic jams considering where we live :-)
Yes ... they serve Asahi and wonderful bottled (and cheap!) Hoegaarden here too, but they happen to be pork-free.

This vacation, I only brought back 2 lenses (Used the macro in these shots) - 12-24mm DX f/4 and 40mm DX f/2.8G Micro, along with dad's SB-600 for lighting and my Nikon D7000 SLR. Here are our starters, the item on the left was a free amuse-bouche, and the salmon sashimi on the right was brilliant value and so fresh!


Good agadeshi tofu, and really good japanese garlic fried rice ...






My katsu curry :-)



Black cod bento box :-) Excellent!



Nice japanese crepe dessert, and best of all - The price. RM$120, which included the beer :-) Great value!

We love PappaRich!

Previous review: Didn't realise they (I think they were previously known as Pappa Kopitiam!) were already opened way back in 2009

I seemed to have gone to a few restaurants multiple times over my 10 day Malaysian CNY holiday (Hok Seng, Hibachi Sushi and Robata ... and PappaRich!). Can't resist the kai-see hor fun here at PappaRich. Slurpppps.


Decent Curry Laksa ...


bbG and bbbbG loves the Kaya Toast :-)



Good White Kopi :-) but I think I prefer the one at Old Town?


Hok Seng - Porky dishes in Bukit Tinggi, Klang

I enjoyed a ten day holiday recently back home for Chinese New Year, and bbG had noticed this restaurant in Bukit Tinggi, Klang. Its a big tai-chau with an open-air side (We prefer!) and an air-conditioned section. I had nearly forgotten I had eaten here 3 1/2 years ago!

Previous review: May 2007

A fantastic welcome home ... Sweet and sour pork, and Ham Yue Fah Lam Poh (Claypot and chinese bacon, with salted fish). Exquisite!


Washed down with some excellent Tiger beer ...


Together with these other 2 dishes, the total bill was only RM$80. A steal :-)
Kangkung belacan, and sizzling plate tofu. Delicious!

Gong Hey Fatt Choy from Abu Dhabi!

Its the day before Chap Goh Mei (that's Day 15 - tomorrow!) here in Abu Dhabi ... Thanks to KCL and family for having us over yesterday!


Gong Hey Fatt Choy from Abu Dhabi ... :-)
KCL's wonderful home-cooking for lunch yesterday ... Chai Choy, Steamed egg with Salted egg... and ....


.... YES! Bak Kut Teh! Slurrrrrps. Real pork ribs!


There was even dessert ... Soya bean barley, wonderful!
