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

It was a few weeks ago when I was given a privilege to try out the Nagomi Shabu-Shabu Buffet which is newly launched by Nagomi Japanese Restaurant which is located at Menara Hap Seng in Kuala Lumpur. Some of you might not be familiar with the term 'shabu-shabu' so let me briefly tell you what it is all about. Shabu-shabu, syabu-syabu, hot pot or also known as steamboat a way of cooking your own fresh food in a big pot of hot soup. What's so different about this Japanese variation of the hot pot compared to the one we normally had in a Chinese hot pot restaurant is that each customers will get their own hot pot for preference and also hygiene purposes I supposed. If you do not eat lamb or any other meat/seafood, you can choose not to dump it into the hot pot. You can dump in anything or whatever you want! That's the best thing to experience when you are having shabu-shabu.My selection of food of the evening...There's a wide range of fresh food from vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, meat, seafood, noodles to even assorted type of sushi and fried food for those who want to have a quick bite while waiting for their food to cook in the hot pot. Different type of sauces are being provided to suit the taste bud of every single customer who are dining in this restaurant.They also serve Norwegian Salmon but it's limited! So act fast when they are serving it!
On the top left side is the lamb, beef and assorted fresh food.

What I can say is that they have quite a wide range of fresh seafood and the restaurant is pretty comfortable but it will be good if they provide bigger plates for the customer to take the food and also ice-cream is a plus as dessert. RM32.80++ per head.

It has always pondered me to try out the cuisine at Lammeeya. When I first heard about Lammeeya, obviously most people including me will relate it to 'lam mee' which is a type of thick soup noodle with chicken meat, prawn, eggs, bean sprout etc. Well that's absolutely right because Lammeeya does serve lam mee but other than that Lammeeya is known as one of the authentic Malaysian Chinese cuisine close to everyone's heart.Duck Egg Char Kueh Teow RM10.80
My very first experience to try the Duck Egg Char Kueh Teow was in Penang thanks to Isaac Tan who brought me to have good food around his hometown. So for those who are craving for a good plate of delicious Duck Egg Char Kueh Teow, have no fear and need not to travel all the way to Penang cause Lammeeya has it. Those who loves to eat spicy food might want to request for extra spicy for the extra 'uhm' in every chopstick-full! Original Lam Mee RM9.80
Since we've touched about lam mee in the beginning of this blog post, so it would be pointless if you did not order their signature dish, the Original Lam Mee. I've tried a few lam mee in my life, some were good and some were below average but this I gladly say above my expectation. All the ingredients which they are using were fresh and what I like most is the thick gravy or the soup which compliment the yellow noodle very well.Stewed Pork with Potato RM8.80
When it comes to any stewed dishes with potato, I'll wallop every single thing to the last bit. This Stewed Pork with Potato is delightfully satisfying. The potato wasn't too soft that it goes very well with the chunkiness of the stewed pork. Pork Leg with Vinegar RM13.80
I had never fancy eating Pork Leg with Vinegar due to the sourness in the very dish. Fortunate enough, this Pork Leg with Vinegar in Lammeeya suits my tastebud and as you can see, this particular dish is not for those anti-fat food person but as for me, I'll top up my bowl of rice with this!Barbecued Rice with Char Siew
What I like most about this Barbecued Rice with Char Siew is that the rice which is cooked in the claypot was not overcooked like the normal claypot rice which I had outside. The downside of this dish is that they should have use a better looking choy sum as garnish.

Overall, I really like the variety of food and drinks provided in Lammeeya. Their dishes really did reminds me of my trip to Penang and also some of the food which I used to had back in my parents place. So it's not too burdening to have a good meal in Lameeya once a week or so. With plenty of variety to choose from, it's a good place to dine and hang out with family and friends.

Here's a quick fact about Ramen: It is a Japanese noodle dish that consists of Chinese-style wheat noodles served in a meat or fish based broth, often flavored with soy sauce or miso, and uses toppings such as sliced pork, dried seaweed, green onions, corn etc. I'm sure there's a lot of ramen shop blooming in Klang Valley area alone and the ramen prices are ranged between RM15-RM30. This time round, I am going to introduce you to a place where you can get high quality and affordable ramen in the one and only place, the ramen revolution: Ikuzo Ramen.Hokkaido Ramen RM8.50
Next in line is the Hokkaido Ramen with Miso Paste. I think miso paste would be most likely to be acceptable for majority of people who have tasted all the paste. Comes with 2 slices of cha-shu, bamboo shoots, spinach, bean sprouts and sweet corn.Yakiniku Ramen RM8.50
Bear in mind, the type of ramen which is offered in Ikuzo Ramen is not those typical thick broth/soup but it's more towards a clear based but still has the very basic taste of ramen. NO MSG, no soup concentrates, no artificial flavouring. There's 3 type of paste which are the miso paste, shio paste and the shoyu paste. Also, there's 2 type of noodles, original thin and original thick noodle. Previously they had the spicy thin and spicy thick noodle but due to some of the customers feedback saying that it wasn't spicy enough for them. How good if I can ever try it before they took it out of the noodle selections. The very first ramen shown above is the Yakiniku Ramen with Shoyu Paste, which is one of my favorite. This ramen has grilled beef and cabbage kimuchi to accompany the thin ramen noodle.Cha-Shu Ramen RM8.90
For pork lover, Cha-Shu Ramen is a must have! Comes with 5 pieces of sliced cha-shu in a shoyu paste soup. If I want to have something simple but a lot of satisfying pork meat, I will make sure to order this on my next visit!Curry Tan Tan Ramen RM6.90
The name of this ramen, Curry Tan Tan sounded quite funny to me and I thought it would have something to do with egg (tan in Chinese) but it actually comes with mah lat spice (peppercorn) and minced chicken. The taste wasn't spicy as I expected and might be a bit too heavy on the salty side. Maybe it's just me, anyway for those who really want to go for some good spicy ramen, the Tom Yum Ramen at the picture below is the one to go for.Tom Yum Ramen RM10.90
The Tom Yum Ramen comes with Shoyu paste soup, prawns, squid, crab meat and fish slices. I know some girls really like to have some good spicy tom yum occasionally compared to guys and so this one is a recommended ramen for you!

I personally prefer the thin ramen noodle instead of the thick ramen noodle. Some of the soup based reminds me of Maggie Mee curry flavour, not sure if it's a good or a bad thing. Anyway, the prices for all the ramen are really affordable, from RM5.90-RM10.90. The side dishes will definitely be the reason for me to go back to this place.

In this entry, I would like to talk about a place called Hoofed which emphasise on alcoholic drinks such as cocktail, wine and beer at the same time they provide a very good sensational pork dishes to satisfy every needs of a customer. Hoofed, strategically located at Taman Tun Dr Ismal, which is just right above Tom, Dick & Harry's. The underground cellar holds a very creative tagline of "Wine, Dine and Swine with us" is definitely ear catching.First of all, we had the Bacon Fried Rice RM19.60.
If you are a Bacon or in Chinese 'lap cheong' lover, you would like the taste of this fried rice. Simply delicious!Then we had this Roast Pork Belly (RM17.90).
The texture of the meat is very soft and it melts in my mouth. Pork lover must try this!!!This Roasted Suckling Pig (full) RM170, (half) RM90 catches my attention the most!
Normally I only had roasted suckling pick in some really typical Chinese restaurant but I would give some credits for this.The skin was crispy and music started coming out of my mouth in every single bite... I know I might be a little exaggerated but that's how I can express my feelings at that moment! Two of us can finish half of the suckling pig! The juiciness & tenderness till the very last bite!
I'm 100% sure that I will come back for this...
