Have you ever tried the Hakka Lei Cha before? Lei Cha (擂茶) is a traditional savory drink for the Hakka people. It is literally a type of "pounded tea" whereby the Hakka tea-based beverage or gruel consisting of a mix of tea leaves and herbs that are ground or pounded together with various roasted nuts, seeds, etc.

One of the place where this Hakka Lei Cha dish can be found is in Wok Dish Way located somewhere nearby Sunway Giza Mall in Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya.

 
LeiCha Fried Rice RM9.40
The LeiCha Fried Rice is one of their signature dish to be found in the cafe. This fried rice is not often to be seen elsewhere or even in those typical restaurant that offer Hakka Lei Cha. Being a very unique this, the fried rice is cooked with the lei cha paste along with all the other basic Hakka Lei Cha ingredients such as the different type of vegetables, peanuts, fried bean curd and not to forget the Hakka Lei Cha itself that make the fried rice less dry.

 
The green watery texture of lei cha is filled into the traditional grindstone which is used for grinding the ingredients of Lei Cha.

 
Sweet & Sour Deep Fried Talapia RM15 - RM35
Common sense that I had is that fishes that are deep fried normally have been frozen for a period of time hence they are no longer fresh. Despite the freshness of the fish, the sweet and sour sauce taste moderately and acceptable.

 
Crispy Seaweed RM7.90
This was one of my favorite. I think combining the crispy seaweed with the chicken floss was really a good idea. Although the preparation of this dish seems to be simple but the presentation looks quite nice.

 
LeiCha (White Rice) RM7.90
The LeiCha (White Rice) ready to be eaten by me! lol

Some might like the taste of Hakka Lei Cha and they enjoy eating it because it's healthy but some people just can't accept the taste at all.

I have always been a pork burger enthusiast and not too long ago, there's a newly opened Wallop Pork Burger Restaurant at Chow Yang area in SS2 Petaling Jaya.

 
Wallop Burger is located at Chow Yang in SS2, the same row with the newly renovated Ho Ho Sek Food Court and the same place where the Thursday pasar malam takes place.

 
It takes more than 10 minutes for them to bring our order to our table. Service is a bit slow but at least they send it directly to our table.

 
Our 'healthy' Wallop Pork Burgers.

 
This is the Mamma Wallop (RM6.50), the single patty grilled to mouth watering perfection. It is served with lettuce, tomato, cheese and mayonnaise.

 
My order - the Papa Wallop (RM9.00). It's the same with the Mama Wallop but it has an additional of a grilled pork patty.

My Verdict: Service was a bit slow since they have very few staff working. It's good to see them promoting healthy pork burger but it tasted something like Ninja Joe. Their interior is simple but I dislike the sharp edges of the table. Their warm light bulbs were too glaring and makes the place a little too warm even at night. Next door is blasting some 'lala' song and they also blast some mainstream songs at the same time makes Wallop Pork Burger restaurant as not a suitable place for chit chat or business discussion. It would be better if they can make the price lower as I can find better and cheaper food around Chow Yang. That's my humble point of view.

I discovered a friend of mine posted on Facebook about a Sang Nyuk Noodle shop in KL. I have always been craving for Sang Nyuk Mee ever since I moved to KL. Some of you who are not from Sabah might not be familiar with this noodle. It is almost as same as Mixed Pork Noodle, but in Sabah style. The meat slices are fresh, smoother and more tender. Sang Nyuk Mee literally means Raw Pork Noodle.

 
Village Sang Nyuk Noodle is a shop opened by a chap from Tuaran, Sabah. He claims that they have a shop in Inanam and this KL branch was opened just a few months back.

 
Dry Sang Nyuk Noodle - Mee & Meehoon (RM6.50/Big)
Back in KK, I will always order mixture of mee and meehoon and here is not an exception as well. The noodles are mixed with their special dark sauce and garnished with scallion.

 
Dry Sang Nyuk Noodle - Mee & Ho Fun (RM6.00/Small)
From what I saw, the big and small portion of Sang Nyuk Mee doesn't really make a lot of difference. In KK, when you asked for big portion - well, let's just say it's really big and most women I know will not order that. The noodles here are totally different from the one I had in KK. Even the shop owner knows about this and it's just like those we normally had in any common noodle shop.

 
Here comes the best part of Sang Nyuk Noodle, the pork soup. Pork slices, meatballs, livers and internal organs are given in the soup. If you are not used to internal organ, you can opt for meat-only soup. The meat is seasoned with tapioca powder and meat tenderizer to make it smooth and soft. There's also pieces of deep fried pork lard floating on the surface of the soup that gives a delightful fragrance of the soup. My comment about this is that the soup taste was not rich enough and the slices of pork meat were too thin.

 
Fried Fish Cake (RM6.00)
One of the most regrettable order, the Fried Fish Cake. The fish cake is soft but I don't really get the feeling of fish taste in it and the colour too pale to be look appetizing to me.

If you ask me will be going back to this shop again for their Sang Nyuk Mee? I'll say no unless I stay nearby or pass by that shop. For now, I'll just satisfy my craving as much as possible in my next trip back to KK smile

It was one of the weekend when I was being invited for a food review at QQ Snowmix taiwanese dessert shop which is located at somewhere nearby Giant in Bandar Puteri Puchong. From what I've been told, the ingredients that they are using had passed the strict Food Rules and Regulations known as SGS (The international food inspection company) and consumers can enjoy their desserts without getting worried about any risk that will affect their health.

 
Taiwan Grass Jelly Soup with QQ Taro, Pearls and Peanuts (RM 6.90)
Those who are not in the mood to have cold desserts can always go for the Taiwan Grass Jelly Soup or the Taiwan Black Sesame Soup with Japanese Matcha Soup and QQ Taro. It's pretty filling and tasty as similar as the cold ones.

 
Taiwan Black Sesame Soup with Japanese Matcha Soup and QQ Taro (RM 6.50)
I've always been a fan of black sesame and the combination of the black sesame soup with the Japanese macha soup was brilliant! The rich texture from every scoop of the spoon was very worthwhile to have if you did not have a proper meal to begin with.

 
Lemon Jade Jelly Ice (RM 5.50)
Next up is the Lemon Jade Jelly Ice where the taste won't go wrong, it's sweet and sour at the same time. The jelly was chewy and it goes very well with the sourly ice taste! smile

 
Taro Ice Series ( RM 6.50 )
As mentioned, this was baby Choulyin's favorite. The mashed up between the Taro Ice and the Soya Ice were good. It soothers our throat with the smoothness of the ice especially the Taro Ice. I have given my thumbs up to this bowl of taiwanese dessert. Surely, this is a must try in QQ SnowMix.

 
The Big Taipei (RM24.90) on the left and the normal bowl of Best Seller Grass Jelly Ice Series (RM 6.90) is on the right side. The Big Taipei is really one big ass bowl of taiwanese dessert and the portion is really good for 4 pax or more. If you come in a group or with your family, this is very suitable to be in the order list.

Last but not least, QQ SnowMix Puchong also provide a stamping card to all the customers and you will receive a FREE dessert once you have collected 10 stamps but too bad it's not applicable for other outlet.

I know some of you might have heard about the place called Waterfront at Desa Parkcity, onde onde is located at one of the shoplots and it focuses on bringing scrumptious Nyonya and local delights to residents in the neighboring housing areas. Placing strong emphasis on delivering great taste and food quality are the business’ laurels. onde onde believes that when serving local food to the Malaysian public, one has to deliver results, by surpassing consumer expectations as Malaysians know their food well. Upon our arrival, we were welcomed by Muiz, the restaurant manager for onde onde.

 
Combo B (RM15.90), a combination of a plate of Special Fried Rice, a bowl of Curry Laksa comes with 2 side dishes and 1 piece of Nyonya kuih.

 
Amongst onde onde’s best sellers, are its Assam Laksa and Prawn Noodles (‘Mee Yok’) which are family recipes passed down generations and is now available to onde onde customers.

 
Hot coffee (RM2.80).
The aroma of the coffee reminded me of the coffee in my hometown and the taste was not too sweet but good enough to cure my caffeine cravings. The onde onde’s ground coffee which is sourced from a traditional family roster in Ipoh is one of their highlight ingredient.

 
Grilled Toast with Duck Egg Kaya & Butter (RM2.80). The toast was quite soft and easy to bite unlike the one that I had in other coffee shops and the kaya taste suits my taste bud. The uniqueness of this toast is its ‘kaya’ which wass home-made, using a traditional recipe of duck-eggs, fresh coconut milk and ‘Gula Melaka’ as key ingredients. It involves 7 hours of continuous and gentle stirring to prevent the ‘kaya’ from over-caramelizing or cuddling.

 
This is Japanese Cucumber Sour Plum Juice (RM5.90) which reminded me of the Soya Cucumber drink that I had at Buddy Smoothies not long ago. This one had sour plum with it and it's purely refreshing!

 
Iced coffee (RM2.90). Surprisingly the price for this cold drink is only 10cent more than the hot one.
Anyway, I would prefer the hot one than cold smile
