Jys Yummy Yummy Experience

On 21st of September 2007, I've made a BIG decision, which is to split my current blog, Jys ~ food & recipes category to a NEW BLOG!! Why? well, if you do noticed, I have a lot of categories listed on my sidebar..

Blah Blah Blah - the category with the most posts
Complaints - posts that i wrote to complaint certain ppl or certain shop
Make Money - posts that helped me to make some $$
Recipes - all the recipes i tried
Yummy Yummy Food - all the food i tasted in different restaurants / shops
.... and etc

Recipes & Yummy Yummy Food contained the second most posts in this blog, that is why i decided to split it out to my another blog, Jys ~ Yummy Yummy Experience. 'Dai Go Zhai' (big boy) already lor, got to be independent lor... hehe...

that means, you won't be seeing any food related posts here anymore.. so, see you there!! :)

A B C

Looks nice or not? FL ordered ABC when we had our dinner at the malay stall. It took them around 15 minutes to prepare and it does looks nice, doesn't it? There's so many colors, white, yellow, black, red, green.. you named it, i can find it!! hehe.. I was kind of surprised when i saw this as normally those malay stalls won't prepare in such a nice way. (normally is 'yat pek yat pek' one mar...:p) that is why i faster took a picture before FL starts eating it...

BUT

Don't judge a book by it's cover and Don't judge an ABC with it's COLOR!!

BECAUSE

it's totally 100% tasteless, NOT NICE at all!!!!! how can an ABC tasteless? ya i also want to know how they make this tasteless ABC. GENG!!! Basically you taste nothing other than the ICE!!! what's the point of presenting it in a nice way but the food is not nice? i rather you give me 'one pek one pek' one la...

Ayam Percik

Was chatting with my colleagues this afternoon, don't know what lead us to food, malay food, chat chat chat then we started talking about ayam percik. one told me bangsar one very nice, the other one told me the other stall very nice... ended up my whole brain was fully occupied by ayam percik!

when you can't stop thinking about the food, the best is, to go hunt for it!! hehe... at last, i found ayam percik some where near my place, the malay stalls there..

hmm, doesn't look very nice, but it was already 7pm+,
most of the stalls closed..don't have much choice..
RM2 each, and some more buy 2 free 1, RM 4 for 3!
wanna close shop already gua...

and the sauce!!

hmm, not very nice, it's already cold, and the chicken got not much taste, but the sauce was good, spicy enuf.. will definitely go hunt for more ayam percik!!

Ice Fire Polo Bun (冰火菠萝包)

I've been to Oldtown Kopitiam so many times (Kepong, Aman Puri, Puchong, Ipoh and etc) but i never tried their famous chef recommended Ice Fire Polo Bun (冰火菠萝包) before. So today i decided to try.. instead of ordering the same thing every time mar.. hehe..

definitely very much smaller than the
pic shown in the menu..
but good thing is, it's still hot..
and smells nice too!!

see the butter melting!!
yummy..
not bad, will order again next time..
hmm, but quite expensive lar, RM 2.20 each
for a small bun.

Kam Lun Tai Moon Cake (锦纶泰)

I remembered last year i bought a dragon fruit moon cake and it tasted good. I decided to buy that one again this year. I do not remember what brand is that, then i saw this...and i bought it..

Dragon Fruit In Black Currant Paste
(龙果紫罗兰)　from Kam Lun Tai (锦纶泰).
RM 9.67 (i think got discount lar,
cos i saw the price is RM10+)

I'm already regretting when i removed the plastic.
y? well, this is definitely not the one
i tasted last yr, the black currant smell
is too strong!!

it's actually pink in color, and the middle part
is purple, looks a bit greyish..
FL told me the one i bought last yr
was from Hoi Nyoi Tin (海外天)..
$%#^^#&^#*$#, why can't u tell me earlier?
you were there when i bought this mar.. aiseh...

So how it taste? The skin is quite oily, erm, it's nicer than the one i ate from HYT but it still can't compared with the one i ate from Fu Shan. hehe ..

Nasi Lemak!!! Where are you??

I love to eat nasi lemak, especially those from the malay stalls. Normally they only selling in the morning, from 7+am to around 10am. The rice is wraped by using banana leaf, add in sambal (sambal lebih.. hehe..), telur goreng, kacang and ikan bilis i dun like, so i won't asked them to put in, costs about RM1.50 (cos i add fried egg ma.).. makes me feel very satisfied after i finished that packet of rice!!

There's a few stall which i feel really nice.. one is somewhere near KDU, when i was still in college, they were selling one packet for RM 0.70 (biasa la..), now don't know still selling or not. and another one is at the megan avenue 2, that one also nice.. and the third one is somewhere near my office, kelana jaya (opposite old giant, there's a lot of malay stalls, dun go to the wrong stall. hehe. this stall that is nice normally they bring their kids with them.. small small kids.. husband and wife selling..)

From monday i was trying to look for them as i know once they start puasa i won't be able to eat it.. monday, tuesday, wednesady they also not selling, and today start puasa already..i guess i'll only able to eat again after raya...

oo.. i missed their nasi lemak!!!!!!

What's this?

Are you able to guess what's this?

Let's removed the plastic bag..

opened up the newspaper..
har..it's clearer now.. tupperware, yellowish..
do you know what's tat?

TAH-DAH!!! it's DURIAN!!!!!!
wow, each and every one is wrapped
using cling wrap!!!

see? let me opened it up..

wow wow wow.. thick thick flesh...
super nice smell....
totally can fight with the one i ate 2 months ago
(Durian Is Back)

what's all about this? why wrapped like tat? well, let me tell you. This morning when i'm in office, ms Q told me she brought something for me. hmm, when i looked at the square square thing she's holding, i totally have no idea what is that! she then asked me to smell it. Although it's wrapped in so many layers, i can still smell, the smell of DURIAN!!!

Immediately and secretly we put it into the fridge. luckily you can only smell it when you put near to your nose, else the whole comp will have this durian smell... :p so how it taste? no need me to say u also know it's nice lar. it's actually VERY nice, sweet with bitter, my favourite!! and the seed? wow, can't really see the seed.. hehe.. envy leh...

p/s: thanks Ms Q for such great home plant durian, don't worry i will bring some lemon to get rid of the smell in the fridge. :p

Kerepek Taufu (豆腐饼)

I believe all of you out there tasted taufu before, but have you tried Kerepek Taufu? haha, no leh... let me present you the taufu chips...

when SH asked me to try, i was like.. huh, what's this? then he said kerepek taufu.. i looked at him, and asked again.. taufu? he said, yes, taufu.. try lar... then i took one to try..and guess what? it's really nice!!! 4 out of 5 colleagues asked him where he bought after they tried. I'm one of them also lar... he told us he bought at this stall at giant, kelana jaya...so the next day (which is today..), i go buy...

Seaweed Soy Crisp Kerepek Taufu (Vegetarian)
one packet RM 5, 3 packets RM 13

it's green color, becos of the sea weed gua..
very tasty!!

Soy Crisp Kerepek Taufu (With egg)
one packet RM 4.50, 3 for RM 12.

yellowish... this one less salty..

i pour into a big tupperware,
mixing the two of them.
hehe.. yummy yummy!!!
taufu also can make chips!! geng leh!!!
i wonder how they fry.. hmm...

Yummmm SENG!!!!!!

We bought this wine tasting kit few months ago, on a wine warehouse sales @ kepong. The reason we bought? Cute!! haha, it's really cute lar, 5 small little bottles of wine and another reason? it's only RM25. I don't like the taste of red wine, or white wine. I prefer beer, or even chivas and etc than wine but FL prefer wine, so all these 5 bottles, all his!!

(from left..)

Cabernet Sauvignon - Aromas of blackcurrants, green peppers & spice.
Full -bodied & rich

Merlot - Good fragrance with flavors of plums, cherries & blueberries.
Smooth & balanced

Sauvignon Blanc - Citrus fruits, cut grass, herbs & flowery aroma.
Fresh & delicate

Chardonnay - Tropical fruits, citrus, peas, toast, & nuts.
Generous & elegant

Cinsault - Strawberries, raspberries, cherries & spice notes.
Fresh & fruity

hmm, got a bad feeling that it won't taste good. see the ingredients also you know lar.. :p but who cares!! I'm not the one that drinking also. hehe.. let's try the Cinsault today.. Cheers!!

Fu Shan Moon Cake (富山)

FL went shopping with his family

@ One U and they bought this,
the Fu Shan mooncake.
the box looks so so only, as compare to
other moon cakes brand with nice nice
design.. but we are not tasting the
box, as long as the moon cakes are nice,
box nice or not. doesn't matter lar.. rite??

ei, why empty one?
well, i was not feeling well that day,
so when they opened this i was resting in my room.
when i came out, they already taken out all the moon cakes
and start eating already,
so i didn't manage to take the 3 moon cakes pictures,
(didn't know buy 3 also will give a box..)
dowan to make u guys disapointed,
i took the pic of the empty box lar. hehe..

one of the moon cake,
Red Bean Paste Moon cake without Yolk
(玫瑰豆沙)

can see the red bean paste and the gua-ci?
nice..

the other one,
Lotus Paste Moon cake without Yolk.
(净莲蓉月）

take a look at the one i bought the other day
from HYT, hehe, can see the difference??
this one is definitely much much much more
NICER!!!!

Only managed to take 2 pictures on these 2 moon cakes, the other one i didn't try.. How much? i also not sure. hehe.. but not everywhere you can get Fu Shan's moon cake.. so if you want to try, you can go to One-U somewhere near Jusco there.. they bought this there..

Pearl Corn (Jagung Mutiara) from Cameron

what so special about these jagung

untill I need to blog about it??
well, it's from CAMERON!!! haha, not only
that... let me show you what is so special...

TAH-DAH!!!!!
let me present you the Pearl Jagung (珍珠玉蜀黍)
I think it's called Pearl Jagung lar, i remembered
there's the word Pearl!!
Looks different from the normal jagung rite??
It's called pearl becos part of it is
bedge in color. totally looks like pearl!!

cut cut cut into 3 pieces.
guess what i'm going to do with it??
steam? cook? boil soup?
NO NO NO!! i'm going to eat it RAW!!
yes!! eat it raw. It's a total waste if you cook/steam
the corn, it's meant to be eaten raw!!

a closer look. it really looks like pearl!!
i'm going to eat it .. don't envy ya. hehe..
it's sooo juicy, so sweet, so crunchy..
argg....so nice...

Few months back, Ms.Q, told me that she wanted to let me tried jagung. I felt weird, why suddenly want me to try jagung? i've eaten before wat!! Then she said, we're going to eat it RAW!! My eyes almost fell off when she said 'eat it RAW'!! i never heard from anybody before that jagung can be eaten raw...

Then when i saw the look of the corn, i was like, huh, this jagung never see before wor.. then she smiled and asked me to try.. and of cos i'm very braved and i tried!! hehe.. and guess wat, since then i'm in love with it.. but i never got the chance to eat it again until TODAY!!!!

Last weekend, her sister went to cameron and she asked me whether i'm interested in buying or not?? u kidding? of cos i want!! i've been waiting to eat this jagung since dono when.... i 'pai seh' to asked ppl to buy that much for me as it's quite heavy, so i asked her to buy 3 for me.. i'll slowly eat this 3 as after this, i dono i have to wait till when only i got the chance to eat again... :(

so for you guys that have not tried b4, if you happened to go to Cameron, you MUST remember to try this.. you won't regret it!!

p/s: jagung mutiara, the name i simply tembak one. hehe..

My very first mooncake for this yr

There's still one month before the mid autumn festival arrived but I can see moon cakes everywhere. I decided to get one for myself, cos whole yr nv eat already, and also i will become the guinea pig first, taste which one nicer then only buy for my family.

Wow, there's really a lot of different brands, different taste and the packaging all super nice!! I look see look see for almost 15 minutes, there's really toooooo many different types of moon cakes, finally i decided to just simply picked one, picked one that i never tried b4..

decided to buy this, from HYT (喜月堂)
Pumpkin Taro (金芋满堂), RM9.90.
Never tried this brand before, hopefully it's nice lar..

hmm, does not look very nice..
i like those with darker color skin one. hehe..

i thought the whole thing inside is pumpkin (芋头),
apparently only the middle part.
how it taste? hmm, i can't really taste the pumpkin,
it's just like those normal lotus paste and
RM 9.90 for this? totally not worth it!!
hmm.. i won't buy this for my family lar!!
bad start for moon cake testing, hopefully
the next one i choose will be better.

OldTown White Coffee @ Desa Aman Puri

Old town again? haha, yalor, FL super love the oldtown white coffee, he said this is the only place he's able to drink a cup of 'ok' white coffee. other place one.. yuck!! oh ya, they offered free wifi too!! a good place to have gathering..

We went to this newly open OldTown at Desa Aman Puri.
The shop is quite big, the placement of tables
are good also, we don't need to squeeze with others if
it's crowded.

big menus with recommended food & drinks.

as usual, FL ordered Ice white coffee GAO,
RM 2.30.
looks nice but it's a bit too sweet,
the one at Old town Kepong taste better.

my old town white coffee,
chef recommended one leh.. hehe
RM 2.

Nasi lemak special, RM 5.80.
the rice is cold, besides the sambal, nothing is nice.

Kaya Sticky Rice, RM 3.20.
the oldtown @ kepong one is much much much
nicer than this. The whole thing is cold,
BAD.....

Kaya n Butter Toast (Double), RM 2.
this one still ok lar..

Total bill = RM 16.84. Besides the environment is nice, food, coffee all not nice, better go oldtown @ kepong!!
