Penang Village, Alamanda Putrajaya

not so long ago, nana, jon and i went to Penang Village in Alamanda for lunch. kitorang baru balik dari Putrajaya Hot Air Balloon carnival.. so we were hungry and hot. and we decided to have early lunch at Alamanda hehe.. nak aircond.
the restaurant is located outside on second floor. near bayou. they serve local Malay and Nyonya and also Chinese cuisines. they had pai tee.. which reminds me of my opah chik. during hari raya she always made pai tee.. we called it popai back then. mama said it's because it's like popia but terbalik. so that's why it's called popai. hehe :)
they have many branches all around KL, 1 in Sabah, and also several in Indonesia - Taman Tun, Hartamas, Alamanda, Berjaya Times Square, IOI Mall Puchong.
they have funnily named drinks.. concoction of different fruits and vegetables to make refreshing drinks.. i had jungle book - i think it had mint + lemon + apple.. it's yummy and also refreshing. perfect for us after the whole morning under the sun.

Jungle Book

Honey Lemon drink for Nana

for appetizers, we ordered pai tee and also wonton.. which were delicious! the wontons were small and crunchy just the way i like it..hehe :) suke mak..

Fried Wontons

Pai Tee

my main course was tom yum fried rice. they serve it with kerabu mangga yang sangaaaattt sedap. and keropok. i don't think it's chinese.. or nyonya. tak kisah la yang penting sedap. hehe..

Kerabu Mangga (Mango Salad)- is this nyonya?

the Kerabu Mangga accompanies Tom Yum Fried Rice.. ok don't tell me this is Nyonya.. :P but they taste gooooooooddd..:)

then nana and jon decided to have desserts.. ermm i was supposed to be on diet. tapi ermm what the heck. i wanted one also lah.

the green tea ice cream with red beans. this one's really nice. jon had this one.. i think

nana's desserts sago gula melaka. i'd feel guilty ordering this coz mama makes the best sago. hehe :P sorry ek penang village :)

ABC special. i know.. too chef like kan? mm.. i think luckily got icecream otherwise i wouldn't eat it. hehe :P

price wise.. not so bad. considering the ambient, the service, the food presentation. some people who have eaten here before said the service was slow. but ermm.. it's ok, i guess. i didn't notice them being slow. i remembered it to be a good place to eat.. the food was excellent. mm i shud'v brought mama here. maybe on my birthday i'll give mama a treat kat sini .. she'd love it. :)

Restaurant Mak Yah in Bangkok wuu huu

we go international again in Bangkok pulak.. I just realized I haven't posted anything for such a long time now.. haha.. almost a year without any real posts.. so tonite let's start writing.. :)

Restaurant Mak Yah is located near the Ratchathewi station. Exit toward Thanon Phetchaburi (use exit on left side) then you'll go downstairs by 7-11. across the intersection go straight - turn left and go down about 3 mins walk and it will be right there. it's also near the mosque so it's kinda convenient to pray and all..

it's clean, the staff are friendly and helpful, there's even a concerned nenek watching us just in case we need anything. unfortunately she doesn't speak anything but Thai. but we appreciate it anyways :) we love the food served soooo much so we went there for our birthday celebration :)

it's hard to find, even with the directions given all over the internet. but we're lucky we saw a muslim lady (she was wearing tudung). she didn't speak english but once we mentioned the name Mak Yah, she was like.. ohhh Mak Yah.. and she actually showed us the restaurant. haha. :) very helpful la Bangkok people ni. i love it..

they serve Malay-Pattani food.. basically what you can find here la kot.. but the taste.. alahaii.. excellente lah.. teringat the thai restaurant elly and i went to in florida.. near key largo. damn jumping squids.. anyways, the food here is kinda spicy.. but thai food has always been spicy la kan?

i love the mango kerabu, and also there's a dish called Thai fish cake. hehe.. suka wehh... the fish tho not so fresh, but was delicious and the Thai spices helped as much :)

so go to Bangkok and try it lah :)

read more about my trip to Bangkok here.. :)

Mak Yah's address: 497/16 Petchburi Road, Rajthevi, Bangkok, Thailand 10400

my first post after a long time.. we go vietnam!

salam,

lama sudah tak menulis sini. i had some photos and review about makan2 place in Ho Chi Minh city in Vietnam. Went there in February with who else? normi la.. :)

anyway, we were there for 4d3n. because the trip was really short, we could only try 3 restaurants.. :( alas the restaurants were not disappointments... we had good food :)

Vn Halal

Location: 14 Pham Hong Thai, P. Ben Thanh, in District 1

We frequented this restaurant more than the others because it's really near to our hotel. We stayed at Saigon Pink 2 Hotel, which was 5 minutes away. so it really doesn't make sense if we go all the way to other restaurants just to have a bite to eat.

Despite what I hear from others, I like the food here. It's expensive but then all halal outlets overseas are expensive. I didn't try the Malaysian food they offered. I think Normi did.. she tried the fried rice.. I finally had the Vietnamese famous dish called Phở and it's delicious! They put all kinds of ulam in it and i wasn't even sure what they were hehe...

Also had their iced coffee and it's soooo good.. i now regret not making time to get some coffee from benh tanh market :(



seafood soup and the beef Phở and also coffee are must haves.. :)

Halal@Saigon

Location: 31 Dong Du, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, (opposite mosque)

This outlet is actually owned by a Malaysian lady who's a pharmacist. So if you can't live without your asam pedas ikan pari, by all means go here. It's a much more comfortable restaurant, the decorations are prettier and price about the same but their serving size is smaller. It's nice coz when we're there the waiter couldn't stop talking in Malay. Yup.. he's Vietnamese but he worked in Perak for such a long time I guess he just speaks in Malay whenever there are Malaysian guests .. hehe...

I tried the beef Phở again. I know.. I can't stop. they taste soooo good. I wish I know how to make 'em.. and also the ever so popular Vietnamese spring rolls. They're different from Malaysian spring rolls or the chinese egg rolls... Inside the spring rolls there's chicken, the ulam and also get this.. bihun hehe :) nice. eaten with peanut sauce (kuah satay) .. it's perfection!

Restaurant at the Mosque

Location: the Jemia mosque /Central Mosque (Ground floor) - opposite Halal@Saigon

The Indian Jamia Mosque, built in 1935, is one of the largest and most prominent places of worship in town, and surrounding it are a concentration of halal eateries, including the well-known curry restaurant on the grounds of the mosque itself (profiled in last July’s AsiaLIFE).

"http://www.vietnewsonline.vn/News/Lifestyle/Eat-Drink/6163/Vietnamese--Food-Goes-Halal.htm"

Ok I didn't know when I went there. Izwar told us to go there.. and we did. and we're not disappointed. The food was heavenly. I like the way Izwar described the food,"Indian food but it tastes like your mum cooks it". and he's sooooo right. we missed home as soon as we're done. luckily it's our last day there.. so no worries. hehe

there i hope these will be much help to you finding halal food in saigon. i hope to go again and go to other restaurants pulak..

dah lama tak update kan? sebenar nya ada pegi makan2 kat luar.. during lunch hour. tapi entah lah, sekarang malas nak ambil gambar time makan. insya Allah akan merajinkan diri hehe :D

Secret Recipe: New On the Menu

No secret that I just adore Secret Recipe. Only 2 postings ago, and I am already on it again. But this time it's good because they have just introduced a new recipe! It is called the "Stewed Aussie's Beef Steak".. darn it, the name made my mouth waters.. hehee..
i didn't bring my camera. only had my camera phone. i didn't even intend to eat here. i had a sweet tooth and longed for some cheese cake. mm.. then i saw the new menu. and the rest is history.

went to the one in Putrajaya Precint 14.

The stewed steak was tender, and the gravy was just great. it didn't have as much black pepper which other steak joints usually have, just the way i like it. i can't stand black pepper. it's a perfect dinner. i just wish i didn't get the pepsi light. should have gone for my usual apple green drink instead. i had dinner alone, but then it's a small restaurant. and i didn't really feel alone. plus i had facebook mobile with me the whole time (read: LOSER! kekeke) all in all it was a joyful experience.. hmm :P the only other complain i had would probably be the veges that came with the stewed steak.. they had the snap peas on the photo in the menu.. and they only gave carrots and cauliflowers in my plate. :( pentipusss..



i was too shy to eat the cheesecake there so i took it home with me. raspberry cheesecake. perfect way to end my dinner :D

Ani Sup Utara, Putrajaya

it's been 3 months! well i've been taking photos but not of food :( haven't been eating out lately because i haven't been eating at nice places.. and when I finally do, mm.. i forgot to take them photos huhuhu..

anyway, sesuai with ramadan, it's food time.

went to this restaurant called Ani Sup Utara. I know there's a branch at Shah Alam.. not sure if there are other branches. The place looked really nice. first went there to have some soup because I've been coughing like mad.. the second time I was there I went to my family for my mum's birthday. ye la i know.. cheap.. but mum is not much of an eater.. and it's really late afternoon. She likes nice ambient and doesn't appreciate heavy traffic. I immediately thought of Ani Sup Utara.. It's a bit hot, but soup was nice and simple and I'm sure mama doesn't mind, however much she complained.

the soup was decent though a bit pricey.. i guess the aircond yang menghala ke staff tu mahal kot.. service was fast. but the third time i was there, with kak ina and kak ida, they overcharged our drinks. hampeh. but kak ina dah mintak duit balik.. there was a bar inside the restaurant, dunno what was the purpose. coz the kitchen was at the back. there were too little seats.. so we had to wait twice i was there. i prefer to go at night coz we get to sit outside the restaurant and enjoy the breeze.. much more romantic eating out. :)

they serve, mostly soup.. some combos with rice, and telur masin. mama thought they should have given the customers a choice of ikan asin with telur asin. i don't care coz i love both, but mama was right. not everyone eats telur asin. soto and nasi ayam are also in the menu. food wise.. memang sedap.. cuma tak cukup la.. hahaha

anyway, here are some photos..

Secret Recipe..

i love eating at secret recipe, period. it has a nice ambient, a long menu of delicious food and i love the apple kasturi. yummy. the green concoction of apple juice and lime juice plus the asam boi.. oh la la.. i'm in heaven. i just had some on saturday with dr. mojo jojo. thank you, dear :) muahhsss... but i didn't take any photos then. i took some photos when jon, nana and i went out on a sunny sunday to get my SB600 and we had a late lunch at secret recipe amcorp mall.

nana ordered the fish and chips, jon ordered the tiny burgers while i ordered the chicken lasagna(it was on sale and i've used up my April's pay for the stupid flash). nana also ordered the carrot cake.. and it was delicious. i love the creamy cream cheese topping, and the cake is moist, unlike the one at starbucks. seriously, the one i had at starbucks KK was terrible and really dry :(

that green stuff behind the carrot cake is the apple kasturi. mm.. yummy.. could wake you up in a second, can ask dr. mojo jojo about it. unfortunately i didn't have a camera with me when i had lunch with him, his expression was priceless.. hahahaha..
sorry dear ;)

jon ordered the kid's burger. ok first, there are 4 tiny burgers.. cute little burgers. i actually had this for lunch with dr. mojo jojo and i thought that this is too much for a kid. perhaps this meal was meant to be shared. at first i thought that the burgers would be dry. but they were not. i love the meat patties. 4 tiny burgers are more than enough. especially when coupled with the fries. the fries, i did not fancy. i personally thought, and dr. mojo jojo agreed, that the fries had too much butter, and it felt like eating the mashed potato with too much butter. i wish it were more potatoey. :P the ketchup i love.. it tastes better than burger king's ketchup. kekeke.. oh, and what's with the thick cut of cucumber with the burgers? kids could choke to death tau with cucumber that size!

i had chosen this when i was out with the girls. and the lasagna was really good. at first glance i thought the mozza cheese was a bit much but the sauce was a lot too so that balanced it out. caution though, i burned my tongue coz the dish was really hot! but i loved every bite and serving it with a bread was a good idea because the tomato sauce was to die for. i love the sauce, which kinda explains why i simply love secret recipe's meatball spaghetti.. hehehe...

i didn't take nana's fish and chips photos. i was too hungry to take more photos.. and nana was hungry too as she had started eating as soon as they came.

JM Briyani Subang Jaya

whoa how long has it been since i last did a review eh? hahaha.. hi!!! i'm back! i missed writing about food :)

anyway, one day i was craving for mi bandung. so as soon as i reached home, i called nana, my partner-in-crime, to book her for the nite and asked her where to have the best or at least tastes like mi bandung :D she didn't know. but she remembered JM Briyani had mi rebus or something. and i said ... ok la. it's close enough. so she called jon and jon's joining us later for some dinner as well ;)

i left home at about 8. i live in putrajaya now so it took me about 1/2 hour to reach nana's. picked her up and reached JM Briyani at about 8:50pm.

as i reached for the menu, nana already spotted the mi bandung! yeay! they've got mi bandung everyone. so i ordered mi bandung (bandung noodles?) and tauhu sumbat (fried tofu filled with some vegetables julienned (some people put carrots, cucumber, jicama and even bean sprouts - all the veggies that i love) eaten with yummy peanut sauce. nana ordered some rojak petis (fruit salad eaten with peanut sauce) and briyani with fried chicken and some curry. jon ordered murtabak.. it's prata with meat and egg fillings.. oh la la.. :D

Briyani


Ayam Goreng Berempah / Fried Chicken


Tauhu Sumbat/ Fried tofu filled with veggies served with peanut sauce


Mi Bandung/ Bandung Noodles

the noodles is not bad.. they used too much dried shrimps instead of real shrimps in making the gravy. but the taste is there. enough to satisfy my cravings for mi bandung. if you'd like the real one then you'd have to drive all the way to Muar, Johor.. hehehe ... now that's where you can get the real deal ;) the tauhu sumbat... omg! it's so heavenly! i love it! only thing is that they use too much onions in their sauces and gravies that i can taste the onion in my mouth when eating the dishes. i love the tofus cause they took out the insides of the tofu, leaving the skins and deep fried them and then put in the veggies so the juices from the veggies don't affect the tofu.. and so it's not soggy and it's not messy.. the rice is ok la.. i've tasted better briyanis.. the chicken is quite hard cause they fried it ... nana can't finish her chicken even though jon helped her. jon's murtabak is really nice. however they didn't heat the murtabak evenly, i guess they used the microwave to heat it, so it feels like eating yesterday's murtabak.. kekekee... ala2 makan getah gitu. but the taste is ok :) we finished it! rojak petis was ok.. but again it's the peanut sauce .. i dunno.. dun fancy it much :(

i love the ambience. the restaurant took 2 shop lots at subang. one is the open air type.. the other is a new airconditioned room. we chose to sit in the air-cond restaurant. the lighting was perfect for my photos, the presentation of the food was excellent. the staff are very nice and friendly. perhaps cause we were teasing them since we sat. :P service was quite fast. i mean with all the food that we've ordered... heeheheeh it'll take hours to serve us in a normal restaurant. i guess JM Briyyani is trying to go into the fast food market? heheh cool :) the toilet is clean. the restaurant is clean.

out of 10 i'd give it an 8. i don't mind going back. :)

miri specials: other places..

another cafe that fahmi took me to for dinner in miri was cafenika.. i guess cause the table we chose was outside the cafe, the lighting was not so good.. and i didn't really get to enjoy the food as much. i have to see what i eat.. so?

anyway, i ordered the nasi ayam with roasted chicken and salad. i thought it'd be like the typical nasi ayam with the actual salad.. but rupanya jauh panggang dari api. the chicken was nice tho.. no argue there.. but they served it with coleslaw.. and they don't even serve soup with it.. :( i was hungry so, i ate them anyway.. looks nice tho.. ain't it?

when fahmi had a meeting in kuala belait, brunei.. he took me with him. i don't mind the wait.. but he was really concerned. at first i wanted to lepak at the surau, but i intended to watch the people and listen to their conversations, try to catch some of the phrases they normally use.. and see what they eat mainly. so, i just sat at a corner in the cafeteria. fahmi even gave me 20 dollars so i don't starve...

bought myself a malay newspaper. and sat there.. during lunch time, most of them ordered mi goreng (fried noodles) so i reckoned it should be one of their specials. and so i foolishly ordered too. i even asked for mi goreng daging dengan telur mata kerbau. i thought it would be like one of those special mi goreng we're normally served here.. i was stunned when i looked at the dish. it was plain noodles cooked in soy sauce, with meat and fried egg on top.. more like the mi kicap served at convent dulu.. huhu.. luckily they had the condiments on each table.. something like served in sabah. hmm.. i wonder.. but then, it only costs me $2.20. so, i guess ok la.. what do u expect?

miri specials: idaman cafe

there's another cafe around saberkas we frequented.. idaman cafe. the service was damn slow! the waiters are clueless.. and they refuse to have eye contact with the customer.. but there're many people that went there.. so, the food should be good right? not really.. hehe

fahmi ordered the kueyteow tomyam tulang. weird combo. but the tomyam was really nice. i'd never thought of having tomyam tulang.. but they served it here.. and at 7 ringgit a bowl it should be nice! taste not bad.. fahmi likes it. the tomyam was ok lah..

the laksa sarawak i had here at idaman was really different from the one at sabrina corner. the gravy was heavily spiced. not really my cup of tea but after a while it was ok la kot.. when u're not really thinking of it.. emm... the one at sabrina was really light. i kinda preferred that. i really dig the limau laici drink they served. forgot to take photos of it. it's really that good.. i think i'd like to try make it at home.

another night we came to the restaurant, we ordered seafood tomyam, udang goreng kunyit and baby kailan ikan masin with white rice.. but they took forever to serve the food.. and the waiter screwed our order up. instead of tomyam, it was sup seafood... which tasted horrendous.. and instead of udang goreng kunyit, it was udang goreng tepung. luckily the udang goreng tepung was nice.. i ate most of it.. heheh.. sapa suruh fahmi makan nasi dulu without waiting for the udang? haha... and i ended up with an allergy attack the next day.. boo hoo.. no photos of the screwed up order, cause we were both starving when the food finally arrived..

overall, if u're starved, or even hungry, don't ever come here.. but the drinks are nice.. especially the iceblends..

miri specials: sabrina corner

this restaurant, is somewhat ermm.. uninviting. the deco wasn't really nice.. there's a buffet table in the middle of the restaurant and the buffet table were mounted by old magazines. i have no idea why they're there.. went there on the third day of my stay. fahmi took me there for brunch.. sort of.

i ordered the kueyteow goreng style penang (fried kueyteow penang style). i was under the impression that i ordered the char kueyteow. hehehe.. yeah right. it kinda looked like the kueyteow ladna (i think). it really reminds me of the mi goreng basah that rofi ordered when we were in tawau. sumthing like that laarr..






this fried kueyteow was fried with soy sauce and baby clams. it was weird, but it tasted nice.. and i finished it. go figure.. :P




then there's one night, we had dinner there, and fahmi had to order the nasi goreng ayam and sup tulang. the sup tulang was nice.. and the tulang was errmm.. fresh. but the nasi goreng ayam was different. usually the chicken would be obvious. i tried the laksa sarawak special. yummy.. :D and their air tiga assam. the air tiga assam is actually a mix of lemon, lime and asam boi juice. tasted like lime juice.. hehehe..

air tiga assam
sup tulang
nasi goreng ayam
laksa sarawak special..

miri specials

just came back from miri last night. i'm still tired, but don't really feel like sleeping just yet.. can't wait to write about the restaurants i frequented at miri during my stay there. went there for 7 days and 6 nights.. i know i know.. a long time to actually try everything.. but ok.. truth behold, i have to be careful of what i eat.. since i'm dieting and all.. yeah, ok, i'll do this by restaurants..

Sawadeeekaappp.... Chiang Mai Special 4

Cafe De Siam..

Located just around the corner from Imperial Mae Ping, Cafe De Siam became our "bus stop" during our stay in Chiang Mai. It's actually a coffee house, and the interior decor sort of reminds me of star bucks and delifrance. it's not overly crowded, and everytime we went there, we could only see foreigners frequenting the outlet. the coffee was good. i especially recommend their siam coffee shake. it's really delicious. it doesn't have that awful after taste. it's really nice.

price wise it's kinda expensive. service was good.. well depending on who's waiting your table. cause it can be slow. we missed the bus on the second day cause the server took a long time getting our bill. but they were nice. it's all that matters especially after a really long walk and your feet really hurt and you need to just relax.

i didn't try the sandwiches.. often too full from lunches or dinners.. but i did try the mocha cake. i think they put the cake in the fridge for too long, the cream hardened. otherwise the cake was very kind to my taste buds. fabulous! no wonder i developed the extra two tires when i came back from chiang mai.

for the ambience, the service and the best coffee and milk shakes, i'd give 2 thumbs up.

Camera... action.. take 2.. huhu... penat... that's me drinking the siam coffee shake.










That's blueberry banana milk shake.. loved it.. too bad i had it on the last day.. would have gotten it everyday.. if only i knew it was that good.. :P (tu yang bertambah berat sekilo tu)








normi's drinking her favorite drink at cafe de siam.. iced chocolate. it's iced chocolate three days in a row.. :P

Sawadeeekaaapppp... Chiang Mai Special 3

our third restaurant would be el-ruammit. it's right next to arabia restaurant in the anusarn market. opposite of asma. so, if you'd like to have good halal food, just go to anusarn and find these restaurants. they are in the center of the bazaar.

el-ruammit or honey chicken barbeque restaurant is a small restaurant that sells thai/chinese halal food. actually a malaysian family told us that they had dinner at el-ruammit but the fish was kinda smelly. we ordered fish but we asked the fish to be fried with garlic.. boy it was delicious.

we had a big stomach.. i mean a big feast that night. and we finished it all. . we ordered fried fish with garlic, fried chicken with chilli, broccoli with shrimp, seafood tomyam, kerabu sotong, to be eaten with plain rice. we each order iced lychee and iced longan and they only cost us 225 Baht. hehee.. the fish was perfectly fried. it didn't smell fishy at all, but the seafood tomyum was kinda sweet. and they put fish in the tomyum, not to my liking. i kinda regret it that i didn't ask for the honey bbq chicken, must've been good since they are called that. but there's always next visit right? minta2 la ek?

the location was perfect, it's about 3 blocks from the mosque, and right in the middle of anusarn. can always take the tuk tuk there. or you can always walk if u're staying at the night bazaar.

sawadeekaaapp... Chiang Mai Special 2

the next restaurant in my chiang mai special is a punjabi restaurant. it's down the street from imperial mae ping. i'm not sure what's the name of the street. but it's right next to wat chang kung. there were big signs leading to it.. halal restaurant that way.. halal restaurant this way..

anyway, the restaurant was quite.. we thought it was because it's not meal time just yet. when we arrived a punjab woman greeted us. convinced that she can provide us with halal meals, we sat down and ordered.yellow rice and my chicken in chilli,
normi's masala and white rice and some vege pakora

i ordered yellow rice and chicken with chilli, while normi had plain rice with chicken masala. we also ordered vegetable pakora. thought it would be fried vegetables, cause the description sort of gave us that idea. turned out it was jemput-jemput sayur. cehh... looked over-fried and the sauce was not good at all. the only good thing about it was that we were hungry and the food was edible.

alhamdulillah... for 260 Baht, i think asma restaurant was way better.. two thumbs down lah..

sawadeekaaappp... Chiang Mai special..

i'm gonna do it differently this entry.. not gonna tell about makan place in bangi.. instead, i'll highlight the halal restaurants we went to during our visit to chiang mai, thailand..

asma restaurant..

location: behind the peak center in anusarn night bazaar.
rating:

• taste: two thumbs up
• price: kinda high for my pocket...

this was the first halal restaurant we found in chiang mai. actually we've already googled the halal restaurants available in chiang mai, and 4 names came up including asma restaurant. we sort of stumbled upon asma restaurant, we're looking for arabia restaurant which turned out was located right opposite of asma.. but it was raining pretty heavily and we're desperately needed shelter and food. so, asma we went.

we had bombay briyani, normi and i. it's actually a chicken briyani + potato. we also had mutton curry with it. normi asked for plain water and i opted for mango lassi..

Delicious mutton curry... yumm..

they cost 225 baht, which was about RM22.50. quite an expensive deal for briyani. but we were starving, and we had plenty of baht cash at that moment of time. so, no biggie.

Bombay briyani.. chicken and potato briyani

the mutton curry was delicious. but the service was kinda awful for me. i guess when you have to pay that much for a lousy briyani and curry, you're expecting more from the waiter. so i only left them 5 baht for tips. hehe.. ok la tu got tips. the waiter was kinda rude when we asked what's their speciality.. but they were fast. kudos for that.

Sri Kemudi, BB Bangi Seksyen 7

Finally.. an update! it's been a while since i last updated this blog.. i haven't been eating out as much lately.. the oil price hike and the fact that i'm actually watching my weight seem to be good enough a reason. anyway, this morning, since the cafe operator is again changing (it's not even a year yet..their reasons were too spooky to discuss in this cute blog.. so, i'll just leave it to your imagination), nomie and i went out for breakfast. my mission was to get me some roti canai. headed to section 7 in Bandar Baru Bangi to eat (it's right in front of PKNS). chose to eat at sri kemudi.. i think that's what it says on the sign board anyway.. can't really read the sign while driving.. they used cursive for their signboard. anyway, i referred to it as the kedai low-profile. ate there once or twice for dinner.. not some hot spot in bangi .. not like the other restaurants in that area anyway.. the tv is a mere 21" tv.. not a favorite hangout for the kaki bola.. and no bright lights.. but the restaurant is always full..of boys. thought there would be cute waitress or something.. but didn't see any cute girls there.. except me of course. haha. cute boys ada lahh.. err.. the waiter is adorable. i think he must be the owner's son or something. cause the restaurant seemed to be a family operated restaurant or watchamacallit... anyways, like i always say to ali when we're on the road, a full restaurant is always a good restaurant. and it's true for this particular restaurant. good food.. simple recipes. even the menu is relatively simple. no special names for their drinks or nasi goreng.. not many items on the menu.. but they taste good. and it's all that matters.. and the portion is quite big. so, worth the money. but that's last year.. haven't been to the restaurant for ages.. and this morning, went there with nomie.

the morning menu is quite a variety. they have nasi kerabu, laksam, roti canai, nasi goreng, nasi lemak, nasi himpit with kuah kacang and lontong, mi goreng, bihun goreng.. just to name a few.. no wonder the restaurant is full at 8 am on a saturday. well looking at the food, made me starving, so i got myself a nasi kerabu with ayam goreng.. tak pe la.. can work out later what?? hehehe... and an iced tea. sedap.. but the price.. whoa.. very expensive.. luckily i brought my wallet and not just the purse i always carry for breakfast.. would be embarrassing trying to pay with coins.
This particular set, costs me RM4.50. actually i think price is pretty high since i could get a better deal at putrajaya.. tastes better there too.. this one, ok la.. just price too much!
