Pier 21 @ Terminal 21, Bangkok

Highly recommended place to visit in Bangkok will be this Pier 21 ! Why? Cheap food and great mall!

 Mango Sticky Rice for 35 baht! The mango tasted sweet and the rice was not too sticky too. This mango sticky rice is the cheapest in Bangkok and the 2nd cheapest mango sticky rice was in Krabi (30baht) @ Market.

 Green curry fried rice (45baht). Usually I have green curry in soup based instead of fried rice. Tasted so good, maybe because I was hungry that time. It was not too milky compared to the fried rice version. It was very fragrant as well.

Love the food court the most and Food Republic couldn't compete with Pier 21 in terms of the ambience and prices. All of my friends love Bangkok the most because they are drawn to the cheap and delicious food here.

 You will never miss the sign of Pier 21 inside the @Terminal 21 located behind the iconic Golden Gate Bridge!

 Secondly, please visit the wash rooms too! Every floor with different themes including automatic washlet. One of the best wash room in Bangkok.

Hokkaido green tea soy milk. Tasted just nice for me and not too sweet. Located near the supermarket.

The ugly side of Burger King @ Masjid Jamek, Kuala Lumpur

As you know the Masjid Jamek area have not much food to eat besides fast food. I try to avoid McDonald's because the set lunch is not cheap as it used to be and Burger King is offering RM5.95++ all day long. My friends and I love to go there for lunch because it is cheaper and Burger King offers 4 varieties from beef to chicken.

From the sets of RM5.95++ can be upgrade from fries to onion ring for just 0.80++. So I did upgraded until I found something from the picture above. Is that onion ring overcooked or not cooked ? Retarded onion ring? I went to the cashier and show them about this and they respond to me it can be "EATEN". HELLO?! You think customers are stupid? 

Something in not right with the ring. I didn't eat here ever since March 26 2013.

Pink Room (Take A Nap Hotel) @ Bangkok, Thailand

It has been a month my partner and I didn't blog. Let me share my experience in a pink room in Silom, Bangkok for my graduation trip in Thailand with my other course mates. Actually this hotel offers different themes for each room but I have 4 other friends which means I had to get a bigger room for a group of friends. This hotel managed to offer this and with an additional bed too.

All of my friends are guys. Staying in a pink room? Seriously?!

 They do have other themes for a room of 4 people for just RM200 per night but for that week I went to Bangkok, the room available was just pink room. I would love to stay in this hotel again if the seashells theme is available.

 Air cond temperature can be only set at a certain temperature. That's the only disadvantages for this hotel because it is not cold enough for such a big room.

The corridor of the hotel.

 Next street of the hotel is a gay street.

Black burger by McDonald's @ Mong Kok, Hong Kong

This will be my second time having black burger and my first time was at Burger Lab's. Black burger by McDonald's tasted so much better than Burger Lab's! What I can comment from my Burger Lab's food experience was overrated. I couldn't feel full?!

Black Burger by McD- "Discover the dark side of flavor with our new mashed potato base burger smothered in truffle sauce tapped by two 100% beef patties and wrapped in a deep black squid ink bun and bacon"

Food in Kuching Part 4: Going back in time

Food in Kuching Part 3: Foochow Food

For today's post, it is more indigenous and Malay.

We tried Sago Pancakes in Sarawak Cultural Village. It smells yummy and it tastes best eaten when it's fresh. If not it'll be dry. The pancake is not super sweet. Support the people working there :D And haha, I did not take down the price. Wahahahah... ahahahha..hah (OMG how could you do this to us?!)

Ok it's RM 2. It is not cooked or fried with oil.

Sago Pancake

Since it's the cultural village and this blog is about food, I'll post some pictures showing how the kitchen looks like in those days.

Check out how they store the red spoons int he picture below. It's ingenius for me!

Big pan and big stove and big fire..

Imagine all the embers flying about while you cook! Ouch ouch ouch and smoky.

I think cooking with these kills two birds with one stone.

You cook and get food, and you get a sauna at the same time.

Cherish our modern stoves and ovens :P

Opposite the Cultural Village is the Damai beachfront. They have a food court there where performers from the cultural village eat as well. I ordered Butter Chicken Rice from Stall Number 10 and I was pleasantly surprised that it tasted good.

For dinner, we took a boat across the Kuching waterfront to the restaurant called Barok (or My Village Barok). We were recommended to go there to try the Ayam Penyet. The best description of the restaurant I can give is it's behind a big food court and it's a wooden house. When I first entered, it reminded me of Aunty Juliet's in Kota Kemuning.

In Barok, they have a lot of set menus to choose from. We chose the one with Chinese tofu (they make it really like the Chinese style and good!), pakis cooked with garlic called Midin (green vegetable that we do not have in KL, good too), vegetables (cauliflower, carrots, mushrooms etc), chicken (Ayam Penyet) and rice.

It must be good because the cats there sat beside me on the stool. The waiter had to chase the cat away. Another customer next to us helped too. Everyone was friendly :D even the cats, so no fear.

From top right clockwise: Rice (everybody knows so it's a good starting point XD), Chinese tofu, the bowl of vegetables, pakis called Midin, fish and then the chicken (Ayam Penyet).

The fish was awesome. It was cooked right and smooth. Nyam nyam nyam. Mahu lagi. We ordered siakap fish cooked in sweet and sour sauce.

For drinks, we ordered the Barok Special. In Barok Special, there's Sunkist, lime, lemon, asam boi and lychee. I would describe the taste as refreshing :D

Set Lunch @ Teeq Roof Top, Lot 10 Bukit Bintang KL

Top image: Breakfast set (RM15++) come with free refillable drinks. Although this is available during lunch hour from 12- 2.45pm but it was called as breakfast set. The bacon was a beef in the set.

Bottom image: Beef Burger (RM25++) come with free refillable drinks. All of my friends agree this was the best meal of the whole set lunch because of the juiciness of the beef.

The ambience of the shop and free sky juice in the champagne glass facing KL tower ;D

Top image : Beef Kuay Teow (RM12++) with free refillable drinks. This was the cheapest set offered by Teeq. The beef was given in slice and my friend ordered this for the second time because it was delicious.

Bottom image : Butter fish (RM15++) with free refillable drinks. This tasted so-so only.

I ordered Ice lemon tea (free refill) and every sets come with free bread. You can dip the bread into the olive oil too. Happy hour from 5pm? You can get a cocktail from RM13! I would love to try that if next time I pass by there.

Free refillable drinks from all carbonated drinks (Pepsi, Ice lemon tea and so on). The waitress serve us well and ask us whether want to get a cup of coffee or tea. The picture of the liquor is not free. haha. I have been there twice and the service was as good as Shangri-La Hotel KL and for a very affordable price too.

Food in Kuching Part 3: Foochow Food

For dinner, we had Foochow food in BDC Food Court. My pictures don't do justice to the food but based from what I googled online, a lot of Sarawakians love their Tien Pien Hu, Sarawak Laksa, Tomato Kueh Teow and Kolo Mee.

You've read 3 or 4 in the previous posts so today you get to see Tien Pien Hu.

We ordered 3 dishes to share.

The first dish is Mee Sua. It costs RM 6 a bowl. 

Smells and tastes good for me. :)

As you can see, there's chicken and mushrooms.

The second dish is Tien Pien Hu. It costs RM 3.50

I am not familiar with Foochow food so..

There's fishballs, the 'noodle' made form rice starch, veges..

Good for those who don't want a big dish for dinner.

Last but not least, the Kampua! It costs RM 3.50

As I said before, I am not familiar with Foochow food but I think blogpost  (Kampua Mee) explains it better.

For breakfast the next day, we had Sarawak Laksa in Hoojoo Cafe. It costs RM 3.50 for small, RM 4.50 for large.
