I was at Cheow Yang area last weekend, notice this restaurant named "Mee Yoke Lim", it's name after prawn mee. I guess the prawn mee must be good so I decided to stop here to have my late lunch.

Prawn mee is the name we use in Klang Valley, it's orginated from Penang. Penang people call this as Hokkien Mee or something referred as mee yoke. Not sure how it become "Prawn Mee", maybe not to confuse with Hokkien fried noodles (check out my previous post on lien bee hokkien mee for Klang Valley hokkien mee).



I prefer prawn mee served with mixture of yellow noodles and rice noodles. The key for good prawn mee is the soup. This clear soup usually make from fresh shrimps, dried parwns, prawn head, shell, stock bones or chicken and chilies. Usually garnished with prawn, water morning-glory, bean sprouts, shredded pork and shallot crisps. The prawn mee in Mee Yoke Lim is a good one. I reckon there are branches in SS2 as well.

We also order Assam Laksa in the same coffee shop. Taste bad.

MF has mentioned the pork noodle in Quilin to me and eatinout more than half a year back, finally I have the chance to try the pork noodle here. This is the second I visited to Quilin in fact, during the first visit, I was asked to wait for 40 mintues, It was late and I need to go for other appointment (It was Saturday 3:20pm!) therefore I decided to go.


The second visit, I waited 35minutes and this is my bowl of pork noodle:

You can see, there are shredded pork, pork liver, pork lark, pork intestines and quit a lot of minced meat. I dont' usually eat intestines, but I still try it for the sake trying.. it was over cooked, it was hard. The soup was rich, can taste the sweet of pork stock, and it season with white pepper. It taste so good and I end up with lapping all the soup :p



Perhaps this is the only decent pork noodle in this area, hence it always full of people who is willing to wait. The uncle has no helper to cook the noodle and yet the business is good, therefore got to wait for so long.

Well, when talk about of pork noodle, I still prefer the one in OUG, the soup is sweeten with seafood. I will re-visit one day, stay tune.

My former boss recommended My Thai after she read the post for Bangkok Jam, thanks for it. I love thai food, so I ask colleagues to go My Thai with me after work.

Starhill, probably is the most luxury shopping center in Kuala Lumpur. Interior design is great, things are expensive and security is tight. You can find all the high price fashion here, including Patek Philippe watches, Louis Vuitton, DKNY, KENZO and etc. Starhill always give people the feeling of prestigious. This really not a place for me, I can't afford any of the brand above :(

The Feast Village consist of 13 restaurants, each restaurant has it's own unique theme. However you can dine in Thai Restaurant and order food from mediterranean restaurant and end with one bill. hmm.. suddenly thought of food court..


My Thai is located at Feast Village in Starhill Galary, nice ambient. The light is dim in feast floor, it create a romance and quiet dining environment.. I wonder if people easier to fall in love in this kind of place?



Let's look at what we had:


You can see, foods are pricy here, it taste good though. However Bangkok Jam taste better. I don't mind to pay more $$$ for better food, paying more than Bangkok Jam and get something worse is not wise..

It's PC Fair again, colleague and I go to KLCC convention center to shop for some gadgets during lunch time and we had our lunch in the food court there.

There isn't much choices there.
I don't know much about Japanese food, gone to this ramen stall and ask for recommendation. The staff recommend something and I just take his recommendation. Damn, it's a Tom Yam Ramen with Chicken Cutter. Taste bad, the tom yam taste has overtook the chicken stok taste.

Colleagues order food from a stall named Asia Delight, the food are suck:

Conclusion: no nice food in KLCC Convention Center food court.

Today I’m going blog something different, a recipe! I was craving for something sweet, so decided to make a Tiramisu!

I do have few Tiramisu recipes on hand, all have slightly differe in ingredients. Some is using egg white; some is using egg yolk; some is not using egg at all. I don't know which is the most original Tiramisu recipe, thus I choose one of the simplest I have.

Ingredients

A)
2 Egg Yolks
50g Sugar

B)
1 teaspoon Gelatine
35ml Water

C)
250g Mascarpone Cheese

D)
150g Whip topping cream

E)
150ml Warm Water
80g Sugar
4 teaspoons Instance Coffee Powder
2 teaspoons Kahlua (or any coffee liquer)

F)
6 pieces Lady Fingers (Sponge Fingers)

G)
Cocoa Powder

Clockwise from the top left: Mascarpone Cheese, Lady Fingers (Sponge Fingers), Ingredients for Coffee Syrups (Kahlua, instant coffee powder, sugar), Gelatine.


Method

1. Whip the whipping cream and set a side for later use (keep in fridge)
   


2. Whisk (A) over a pan of simmering water until it thickens.


3. Mix (B) and place over a pot of hot water. Stir until gelatine dissolves. Add it into (A) and mix until well blended. Set aside to cool for a while.
   


4. Beat (C) until smooth. Fold it into the above mixture and mix until well blended.
   
   
5. Fold in whipped cream (D) and mix until well combined. (Caution: Fold it lightly or else you will spoil the texture!)
   


6. Mix ingredient (E) to make coffee syrups. Let it cool down.
   


7. Cut the lady fingers into sections.


8. Prepare 6 serving glasses (or any container you want to keep the tiramisu). Fill the glasses with some cheese filling. Dip the lady fingers into coffee syrups and place it on the cheese filling. Fill some more cheese filling and top with soaked lady fingers. Top it with cheese filling and refrigerate until firm (forgot to snap photo for this step).


9. Remove from the fridge and dust with cocoa powder.

Have you ever notice this restaurant in Taman Mewah, right opposite of Kelana Jaya LRT Station? The restaurant painted in yellow and shine with spotlights at night. It caught my sight everytime I drive thru the LDP. Since I have some free time on Monday afterwork, so decided to give it a try.

I make a mistake actually, this is not a good time to eat crabs as there are full moon out there. Crabs tend to softer and less meat when full moon. Should have look at the sky or check out the Chinese lunar calender before ordering crabs :p

Anyway, this is what we had:

Claypot Butter Crab (RM30.00). I love this, it's comparable to the same dish from Wong Poh Restaurant at Dataran Prima.


Salted Duck Egg Crab (RM30.00). This is the first time I eat crab prepared in this way, not bad.


Stir Fried Brussels Sprouts (RM8.00) It look so greenish, according to the waitress, this was prepared by master chef.

If normal crab can no longer satisfy your appetite, they have others for you, try out their king crab, selling at RM269 per kilograms! Well, if that is still not enuff, try their "Value for Money" set menu. "Value meal" selling is at RM8,888 for a table of 10, OMG!

"Value Meal" make up of:

1. Speciality Four Seasons Appetiser – RM400
2. Stewed Superior Shark’s Fin Soup (individual serving) – RM2,400
3. Geoduck Sashimi / Superior Boiled – RM400
4. Lobster Sashimi / Superior Boiled – RM520
5. Superior Stewed Abalone (individual serving) – RM2,000
6. Steamed So Mei (fish) in Hong Kong Style – RM1,000
7. Speciality King Crab – RM1, 500
8. Hong Kong Style Roasted Young Pigeon – RM340
9. Braised Noodles with Lobster Head – RM40
10. Stewed Bird’s Blood Nest with Rock Sugar (individual serving) – RM2,400

The total value: RM11,000
Can somebody buy me that dinner? :p
