Random eats

Miso ramen again at 麺場 田所商店. Great for people like me who likes big portions, strong flavours and veg in their ramen.

Lunch date at Saikabo in Takashimaya.

First time in this restaurant. We initially wanted to enter Din Tai Fung but the queue was too long so we went to a place with a short queue instead.

The food here is not bad. I didn't have too much of an expectation at first.

And the seafood pancake was lovely! Glad that they have a nice outer crunch with lots of fillings on the inside~

Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kawasaki-Higashiguchi

Formerly known as Hotel Sunroute Kawasaki, the hotel is now known as Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kawasaki-Higashiguchi.

Just looking at the bathroom, I'm liking this room. While this is still the standard compact bathroom of most japanese business hotels, there is a wider area for the sink between the bathtub and the toilet.

Here are the hotel amenities.

This here is the standard double room. As you can see, the bed is not too close to the table too so there is a bit more room for walking.

The bed.

The table area. I like that the TV is up on the wall and not taking up useful table space.

Overall, the hotel is clean and I had a good night's sleep. Highly recommend this for tourists too as this hotel is near to Kawasaki station, where there's lots to explore.

Last day in KL

Last dim sum for this trip.

I had to have more dim sum before flying because I'll be deprived of them once back in Japan.

Not sure why, but is it that hard to hire a good chef to make good dim sum?

All the dishes we ordered were excellent! I especially enjoyed the salted egg yolk custard bun and the char siew sou.

While I usually never order char siew pao......when you have not had one in a long time, you will feel like trying one.

Yu mai has always been a family favourite.

I guess chee cheong fun is the only dish that you can get in Japan that reasonable tastes good.

Another dim sum favourite of mine is this fried raddish cake which is also not available in Japan. For some reason we only have the pan-fried version., which I also enjoy, but the fried one just has another level of flavour profile.

Another one of my favourite is this fried beancurd with salted egg yolk, prawns and scallops as fillings. Not the healthiest dish, but definitely delicious!

Lol, just because it's the last dim sum for this trip....order as much as you can!

We didn't waste anything as we ate all the food ordered.

Oh, siew mai is another dish that you can get in Japan that tastes good. 

Last pic at KLIA2.

On the flight, I was super happy that I got a vegetable briyani and not some fried rice. Yay~ to more Malaysian flavours before I land!

Definitely one of the top few airplane meals I've had! Super yummy~ Good job Air Asia!

螃蟹哥哥 Crab B Restaurant Puchong

I've been craving for crabs for a long time and was super happy to be able to visit Crab B in Puchong for some crab with my family.

I've been wanting to return since my last visit because the crab was super good!

We ordered some veg, the yam bowl and crab. I like how their yam bowl has 3 different items on it so you get to experience different flavours in one dish!

My long awaited crab dish~!!!! Milky salted egg yolk crab~ Of course, we had to have a plate of fried mantou to go with all that lovely sauce.

I also love how big and meaty their crabs are! Will definitely be back for more.

Sunway Pyramid

CNY deco was all out in Sunway Pyramid so Mum and I decided to go and check them out.

This year they had a beautiful Hakka Village at one of the concourse area.

The are was decorated with many traditional Hakka elements for guests to take pictures with.

They even had a section where you can wear a traditional shirt over yours for a picture at the traditional kitchen.

Later that day, met up with Moon for dinner at Sushi Zanmai.

Lol, getting my fav. soft shell crab roll again!

Salmon rolls that Moon ordered.

More sushi~ I really like how much mentai mayo sauce they put on top of the seared salmon. It gives it so much flavour.

They had this seasonal cheese roll and we decided to try it. Very flavourful and delicious. Definitely not something you'd find at an average sushi place in Japan. Lol~

Wefie with Moon~

Home cooked food

I requested for mummy to cook some choy kwok for me while I was there and she made this humongous pot which was gone in 2 days.

This was actually just half of what she cooked. She has another pot of the same size which she brought out for the ladies she exercises with in the morning to enjoy.

Later that day, I received a surprise package from Lina with hand-made goodies from her and her mum!

It was such a pleasant surprise as I didn't expect to receive any packages while in KL.

Sadly the goodies were in a sad shape when they arrived. The package was probably tossed around and not handled with care. The peanut cookies were all crushed but luckily, the salted egg seaweed survived. 

I did eat everything and they were super yummy! Especially the salted egg seaweed which I finished on the spot!

As if I didn't had enough salted egg, later that day Mum made some porridge with fish balls, peanut, salted egg and century egg. Yummy~ :)

Thai food

I had been missing the taste of fried fritters with white coffee. The weirdest thing is that I don’t even drink coffee. But I guess sometimes you crave for things that you can’t have.

This chee cheong fun stall at Simee market is a must visit for my family. We stop by for some curry chee cheong fun that has sa kok in them, topped with pig skin and drizzled with curry sauce. Highly recommend this style of chee cheong fun.

After breakfast in Ipoh, we drove back to KL.

Later that afternoon, I went for lunch with my ex-dance mates.

The food was delicious and we had a great time catching up.

This fish here is the best dish of the meal. Super flavourful and I like how it's topped with lots of peanuts.

We also ordered the tom yum which was spicy but sooo good.

Egg was normal and we also had a stir fried veg with roast pork which was pretty normal in terms of taste.
