Every time I go to Ikea, I will dine in the restaurant and order the meatballs. The Ikea meatballs are famous. When I was in Singapore Ikea, I ordered the meatballs. When I was in US Ikea, I also ordered the meatballs! No matter which Ikea you go, you will always get the meatballs! They are Ikea’s signature dish.

Recently, I went to Ikea Damansara. The very first thing I told my friend, I want to eat the meatballs! LOL. Yes, I went there for the meatballs and at the same time, do some shopping. The meatballs are having promotions on that day. For 10 pieces, it costs RM10. It comes with fries, lingonberry jam and cream sauce.

Oh…… I just love the meatballs! I will definitely order again if I happen to go any Ikea in future.

It has been a while since I visited Pulau Tikus Lok Lok. This time, I went there after my hiking session with my friends. I always tease them, the main purpose is to eat after the hiking session, and not really want to hike. LOL.

We went there quite early, still have table for us. In fact, they just started their business. They were many options of food for you to choose from. You can see it from the above photo. Colorful right? You cannot eat much on Lok Lok but it is FUN on the process.

My friend from Johor visited Penang last week. I brought him to have dinner in the vegetarian restaurant along Macalister Road. Opposite the vegetarian restaurant, there is a coffee shop, selling Wantan Mee. According to my friend, the Wantan Mee is nice, especially the Wantan, has prawn in it.

Just after our dinner, we headed to the coffee shop for 2nd round. We ordered one Wantan Mee and one Wantan plus Sui Kao Soup.

The Wantan Mee is only average to me. I am not sure is it because I have already eaten the vegetarian food prior to this.

However, the Wantan and Sui Kao are good. I like the Wantan very much. It is quite big.

Maybe next time I need to go try again without eating anything up front.

My friend brought us to have the Siam Koay Teow during lunch time yesterday. The koay teow is normal, just that the sauce is in Siam style. Lemons are provided if you want to have it with more taste. Besides the lemons, I also add in the chili powder, to give more spiciness. The Siam Koay Teow is served with a very small bowl of 2 fish balls soup.

Overall, the Siam Koay Teow is just normal. Kulim does not have much places for food. It is an alternative if you are bored with all the food you have everyday.

I tried this Taiwanese Pork Chop Rice for lunch yesterday. It comes with 4 side dishes and the pork chop, of course, with rice. The 4 side dishes are vegetables, salted vegetable, tofu and half slice of egg.

The Pork Chop is the specialty of this restaurant. That is why I ordered it. To me, the pork chop is not bad, not really that good and not bad either. The side dishes are just OK. The rice with the gravy is good. Overall, it is only normal. Maybe in future, I can try other food if I happen to dine in this restaurant again. Who knows, maybe some other food will be better.

This is the very first time I have the Fried Oyster in Taiwan style. I thought it will be more or less the same as the one in Penang, but I am wrong. It is different.

The Taiwan Style Fried Oyster is oily!! You can see the oil on the plate itself. Besides, it has the sauce on top. The taste of the sauce is like the Mee Rebus sauce. Kinda weird. In Penang, the Fried Oyster is combining only the egg and corn flour. As you can see from the above photo, Taiwan Style Fried Oyster has the vegetables in it.

Overall, it is not bad to try the Taiwan Style Fried Oyster for the first time. If you were asking me to order again, I will need to consider about it. It is too oily and I still prefer the Fried Oyster in Penang.

This is the sandwich I have in the San Jose airport, shared with my sister. To me, it is nice. The ingredients are a lot. If you compare it with the one you get from Malaysia airport, you will definitely see the difference. The price is a bit expensive, for sure since it is from the airport.

I always heard my colleague talking about the Sungai Pinang Food Court. They went there for dinner when they work on night shift. I never go before one night, I asked my another colleague to go with me. To my surprise, the food court is really big, there are many stalls selling different kind of hawker foods. There is one stall selling Fried Chee Cheong Fun. You can choose either to have Rojak Sauce or Mayonnaise. I choose Rojak Sauce.

The Fried Chee Cheong Fun mix with the Rojak Sauce is not so bad after all. It is a bit too hard to bite and chew on it. I think It is over fried. It costs RM2.50 per packet. If you happen to go there, you can try this as snacks.

I went to Padang Brown yesterday evening, to try out the Char Koay Teow. The Char Koay Teow is selling at RM4.50, RM5 and RM7!!!! a bit expensive if compare to other Char Koay Teow in town.

What so special about this Char Koay Teow? I don’t see any special at all. The main thing I notice is, it is using charcoal to fried. Besides, it has 3 big prawns in it. The rest are pretty normal to me. I think it is too salty and watery. Maybe the cook put too much oil or water in it.

Overall, it is too expensive, I am not really like it, just on the average level.

I was there for lunch the other day and spotted this stall. It is a new stall in one of the coffee shop. My friend and I thought of giving it a try.

It is spicy, very spicy indeed, if you mix all the chili provided. Luckily, I took out some before mixing it.

Overall, only one word to describe, SPICY. You only can feel the spiciness, nothing else. If giving me a chance to try it again, I will rather to order other food such as the Jawa Mee or the Chicken Rice than this. The conclusion is out.

There are a lot of complains on the tibits price in Neway Karaoke. For just a small bowl of tibits, it costs RM11. The quantity of bowl depends on the headcount. I went with my friend the other day, only 2 of us, got one bowl of tibits and one plate of fruits. They are compulsory. You will need to pay for it no matter how.

Want to guess how much is the fruits? It is RM20 for one plate. Expensive? Yes, it is expensive. So, each of us need to pay RM15.50 extra, just for the tibits and fruits. We went from 5pm-8pm, buffet dinner is included. The total bill is around RM95. To me, with buffet dinner, fruits, tibits, 2 drinks and 3 hours of singing time, it is consider OK to me. If you go to Redbox, I think the price will be around that range as well.

When I am lazy to go outside and get food, I will cook instant noodle at home. I think this applies to most of the people. Last time, I like the Cintan Instant Noodle. I don’t like Maggi brand because the noodle is not the springy. Later on, I fall in love on the Myojo during my University life.

At current state, my favorite instant noodle will be the Nissin (original with sesame oil) and the Shin Ramen (spicy mushroom flavor). However, the price is not cheap over here. I bought some when I was in Singapore, and brought them back. The price in Singapore was at $2.19 and $3.75, if compare to RM6.50 and RM13.90.

I highly recommend these 2 instant noodle to all of you. Try it and you will like it. 🙂

I went for a training the other day in Tanjong Tokong area. The trainer told us, there is a stall of Hokkien Mee, operated by a Malay, just a walking distance from the training center, is not bad. Since we never tried before, we went there for lunch.

Honestly, I am not really like the Hokkien Mee. There are a lot of ingredients that I dont like, come together with the noodle, such as the fat meat and chicken’s liver, etc. Besides, the waiting time is quite long. I don’t think I will go there and eat again in the future. I still prefer the Hokkien Mee by Chinese.

Have you tried any good Hokkien Mee or also known as Prawn Noodle in Singapore? If you are yet to find one, let me recommend this best Penang Hokkien Mee to you, that you can find in Singapore Bukit Panjang area.

This Penang Prawn Noodle stall is operated by my friend, who lives in Singapore. This is the first and the best Hokkien Mee I have tasted in Singapore so far.

This is the soup version.

There is a dry version as well. According to my friend, Singaporean likes the dry version more.

I tried both and I still prefer the soup base. Both of them are good. If you want to try them out, let me know, I will let you know how to get them.

When I see the name Fried Wantan Mee, I already want to order it. I have eaten a lot of Wantan Mee but Fried Wantan Mee, this is the first time.

Actually, it is just same as the Char Koay Teow. Just that, the koay teow change to Wantan Mee. To me, it is not so special after all. The ingredients are the same: prawns, “lap cheong”, taugeh and egg. It is better for not eating too many fried food. My 2 cents.
