Don and I dropped by Wok Sifu at JUSCO Metro Prima to give it another shot, despite the past incident that took place at the exact location prior to its renovation. It is a restaurant that operates similarly to Wong Kok Char Chan Teng, which it comes with a slogan, "To taste Hong Kong, taste in Wong Kok".

Wok Sifu was promoting set dinner during our visit, valid from 6pm to 9pm. Each set meal came with a main meal of your choice from a list stated on the menu, and a cup of drink. By adding only RM1, you can easily enjoy an extra bowl of Mushroom Soup.

 

 

 
Don's Pork Dolsot Bee Beem Bab has a weirder name than how it usually is in most Korean restaurants, the bibimbap. It is a signature Korean dish that is literally translated as mixed rice, topped with several types of vegetables and it often comes together with gochujang, a type of Korean hot pepper paste in red. Honestly, though, the one served at Wok Sifu may be considered fine as a bowl of ordinary mixed rice, but it is far from being a Korean dish.

His set dinner came together with a cup of Iced Hong Kong Style Yin Yong, a mixture of coffee and tea, at RM16.50 per set, and a bowl of Mushroom Soup that popped out of nowhere without us being charged.

 
Many restaurants that offer Hong Kong cuisine tend to have huge variety of food on the menus, causing difficulty in choosing merely one every darn time. Thus, I had no choice but to go for my usual selection, the Cheese Baked Rice with Chicken Chop. I thought it was okay, without extraordinarily good or bad savor, except the fact that it's extremely filling for a smaller eater.

My set with a cup of Iced Hong Kong Style Milk Tea cost similarly as Don's, plus a bowl of Mushroom Soup that you could easily grab from the supermarkets and make one of your own at home.

In my opinion, Wok Sifu hadn't changed much ever since my second-to-last visit. Everything remained, and the prices were still within the range. Similar food of better quality with more affordable prices could certainly be found elsewhere. Perhaps it would be a great place to dine in at, only if you are out of some better choices for a meal.

I don't usually go to Mid Valley Megamall, but when I do, it's because of IT Fair! It's true. I never like or prefer to visit this huge shopping center for its terrible traffic during weekends. I finally made up my mind, however, to go on the 9th of March just to fill up my stomach with good yet expensive food and get myself a portable drive from the fair. Don agreed too. How I wish online shopping is always trustworthy.

Our empty stomachs started to rumble upon arrival until we decided to settle down at Paddington House of Pancakes to give it a try.

With such a cozy cafe, I was expecting some better services, or at the very least, a simple greeting should be done by the staffs. Here at Paddington House of Pancakes, we received none. We were noticed only after we sat down. Despite so, being a cafe operated by non-Malaysians during our visit, I found it quite okay when I realized that they were quite knowledgeable about the food available.

 
As usual, Don and I shared a cup of drink to avoid being uncomfortably bloated. To be adventurous, we ordered Peanut Butter and Banana Shake. We thought that it was good, even though I would prefer it to be served without solid peanuts, and to be slightly smoother than it was.

 

 

 

 
Don had a plate of Club Burger, which it's one of the Pancake Burgers on the menu. The burger came with beef bacon, mushrooms, avocados, eggplants and tomatoes in between the pancakes, and some side dishes including mashed potato topped with mashed green pea, salad, and snacks. I can't comment on the burger as I don't eat beef, but the pancakes were really soft and great, not to mention the mushrooms.

Now I wonder how their sweet pancakes would taste like.

 
Aglio olio to me often comes with dried red chili flakes, my Sun-dried Tomato and Mushroom Aglio Olio at Paddington House of Pancakes, though, was different. I didn't notice the words, "sun-dried tomato", when I placed my order, until I ate the noodles. Frankly, I only fancied the mushrooms. It's regretful that I disliked the noodles fried with sun-dried tomatoes although I managed to finish my food.

I was slightly disappointed, partly due to my own carelessness, but I guess I would like to return again someday, perhaps another branch, for their desserts and pancakes. They're extremely tempting!

I have no idea why these days I am so addicted to one of the Thailand desserts, Khao Niaow Ma Muang, which is mango with sticky rice mixed with coconut milk. Hence, I dragged my boyfriend into this restaurant in Sunway Pyramid called Thai Thai just to eat it.

We ordered a fresh coconut to share with each other. smile

 
When our Khao Niaow Ma Muang was served, we starred at the plate for a few seconds before we got to give any response because of how small the portion was. It cost us RM9 when I could actually get about RM4 or RM5 at other places for a larger portion of better taste.

 
That was when I realized pictures can really be deceiving sometimes, if not most of the time.

Brunch at iKar Restaurant, Kepong Smile Sep 10, 2013

Creamy Pumpkin Soup Noodles with Garoupa Fish Fillets. My first experience with this soup wasn't good. It was almost tasteless. Surprisingly, they have further improved by enhancing the taste by adding more pumpkins. Certainly, certain amount of milk was added into the soup as well. Halfway through enjoying my meal, I would even happily pick a few pieces of pumpkin from the soup to mix the slight natural sweetness with my noodles. Knowing that they’re improving themselves from time to time in order to satisfy their customers, I admit that I was indeed delighted, because such kind of business person can rarely be found elsewhere.

I enjoyed my meal. I love my creamy pumpkin soup to the extent that when I returned again on the next day for brunch, I ordered the same bowl of soup again.

Black Pepper Ban Mian and Hot Green Tea. I have never ordered anything with soup at this restaurant. This is because fried ban mian can rarely be found, or it can only be found at Hometown Ban Mian, which makes me prioritize the different types of fried ban mian available at this restaurant. Despite so, it was merely my second visit over here, and I ordered the same thing as my first visit.

Anyway, I like it. I would love it if it didn't worsen my throat's condition. It was filled with the fragrant of black pepper. As I put a few pieces of ban mian into my mouth, I could slowly feel the slight spiciness. The level of spiciness was still acceptable. At least my tongue never went numb even after I finished my meal. Also, I love the fact that they cooked it together with capsicums, which have recently become one of my favorite food, and my all time favorite prawns. I totally enjoyed it.

 
Although I couldn't quite recall the name of this snack, it is recommended. It's sweet lotus seed paste covered with thin layers of crispy skin, perfect to be eaten after your meal, as a dessert. The filling was thick as well, unlike many other restaurants that tend to be too stingy to provide more, destroying the entire texture of the snack.

P/S: I am a person who loves most of the food made of flour. Thus, my review may not be applicable to anyone who does not really prefer food with thick flour.
