Tong Pak fu Hong Kong Dessert, 糖百府 at Empire Shopping Gallery

Tweet

Here our second dessert of the day 2 at Tong Pak Fu Hong Kong Dessert 糖百府. The first encounter of this dessert shop was in Hong Kong 2010. So i always called it HK Tong Pak Fu. This is because Penang has another Tong Pak Fu 糖伯府. Penang Tong Pak Fu 糖伯府 dessert can't compare with the Tong Pak Fu Hong Kong Dessert 糖百府 that i had in Hong Kong. So how is the brunch in Malaysia taste like? Let check out their new stall at Empire Shopping Gallery.

It was quite late when we arrived. So we rushed in the dessert place tired and craving for a good dessert. We just ran in the and look at the menu. They were award wining dessert from Hong Kong shown in the menu. Me so blur that forget to take the front  view of the shop.

Even thought was around 10pm but the place was packed with people hungry for a sweet ending for the day. 

First to come is Chocolate snow Ice 巧克力秋香, RM6.80. It was a chocolate snow ice came with banana and nata de coco. Sad to say that the chocolate used was a lousy chocolate. It taste like pasar malam chocolate taste. 

Close shoots of our Chocolate snow Ice 巧克力秋香

Next to come was Glutinous Rice Ball  麻甩( 芝麻糖不甩), RM4.80. It came with peanut and sesame seed mix topping which were pretty good.

See how Q the glutinous rice ball was. It went well with this peanut and sesame mix topping.

This was the cross-section of the glutinous rice ball. It was black inside as well. I believe they use black glutinous rice flour to make the ball.

Beside that it was freshly made as well. Our order was the last one. After this they closed kitchen for closed up.

We were given a card after payment. I love the reward card very much cause of the cute cartoon.

Below was a flyer i took in Hong Kong during my visit in 2010. As you can see the selection in the menu was not much but they had more variety of topping to choose from. You can even DIY your own dessert.

We love the green tea qq ball in green tea snow ice very much. The menu in Malaysia had less topping but more choices compare the 2010 Hong Kong menu. It was quite disappointing cause we had very high expectation with them. Even though Hong Kong's Tong Pak fu , 糖百府 served better dessert then Empire Shopping Gallery one but Empire Shopping Gallery one is definitely better then Penang Tong Pak Fu 糖伯府 .

Restaurant Sum Fatt Kee best nasi lemak in Petaling Jaya?

Tweet

This is a makan place that was put into the MUST TRY list before we travel south from Penang. After shopping at 1 Utama, we headed for this nasi lamak place. It was highly recommended by a lot of Petaling Jaya people and blogger. So we had high hope on this place even after our lousy lunch at Dontaku Ramen Japanese Restaurant. It was also known as "Maybank Mamak". So how is our nasi lemak experiences during CNY 2012? Read on! How bad can it get after Dontaku Ramen Japanese Restaurant. 

The Maybank Mamak is located in the Restaurant Sum Fatt Kee.

The seats were arranged along the side road. The best place to sit is further down or the opposite shop cause the side road slope down. So the tables and seats were slope one side. 

We ordered a cup of tea tarik and Milo panas. Surprisingly it was not sweet. 

We ordered the famous fried chicken nasi lemak (RM4.50). Sadly the nasi lemak taste soso. Not as we read in the blog piping hot nasi lemak and fried chicken. 

The fired chicken was cold. Taste ok only. I think may be it was CNY holiday so it was not pack with people and they not used to handle less traffic :) Food serve were not hot. 

Our next order was maggie mee goreng (RM3).

You can ordered for extra fried chicken for the mee goreng. The mee goreng was the standard mee goreng that you can get in any mamak stall. Noodle was boiled and rinse. After that they used the whole pack of maggie seasoning to fry the noodle. The dish was super salty. 

The best nasi lemak? i don't think so cause it tasted like normal mamak stall nasi lemak and mee goreng you can get at any mamak stall in Penang. Or may be because CNY, the nasi lemak stall sudden dropped of traffic so the quality of the food also dropped. Beside that while we had our dinner there, there was a small lizard climbed up Cyn's leg. So it was a horrible and bad nasi lemak experience at Restaurant Sum Fatt Kee.  No offence to PJ-ites you still can enjoyed your nasi lemak but not for those like me purposely traveled for the nasi lemak.

Dontaku Ramen Japanese Restaurant at 1 Utama at Petaling JayaThe

Tweet

While walking around 1 Utama figuring what to eat, we noticed this Japanese Restaurant was pack with people. So we decided to try out this place. Food there were disappointing, although it is not bad but why it is pack with people? Service was slow as well. Beside that we did inquiry on the food but wrong information were given. So it is really a bad experience dined in this restaurant. 

Dontaku Ramen Japanese Restaurant at 1 Utama Petaling Jaya.

The front look of the restaurant. It was decorated the front with beautiful Japanese bowls. Let say each cost around RM30~40. So the you can image how much it cause to show off the bowl.  

The seating at the restaurant. 

Our cold and hot ocha.

Our first that came was this Beef Steak Garlic Rice Set (RM19.50). The beef was medium done but it taste soso.

It also come with salad, pickles and miso soup. Miso soup really lousy, tasteless and watery. 

Next to come was our Tottori beef ramen (RM17.00). 

The pickle dish that come along were lousy and smelly. The ikan bilis was so smelly that i don't even eat it. Bean sprout in the soup was horrible and smelly as well. Soup, beef and ramen taste ok.

Volcano roll (RM14.50). 

This roll taste good but expensive.

Overall dinning experience was bad and food tasted soso. I will not go there again in any of my KL trip. Short review on this food place for just to record what i had experience in my KL trip.

Day 4 KL Food Road Trip CNY 2012

Tweet

The last day in KL we went to 1Utama for last minute shopping. After we settled the shopping and our stomach, we hit the road to balik Penang. During the balik kampung trip we planed some small trip to Hot Spring (Taman Rekreasi Air Panas (TRAP) Sungai Klah, Sungkai, Perak). Eventually we just drop by the hot spring and didn't went in because we were not prepared for it. We might plan for next road trip to KL.

First stop was Mister Donut. I came across this donut from my Japanese friend. She told me that the best donut she ever had was this mister donut. It even better then J.Co or  krispy kreme. So once i walk pass Jusco food court and saw this i immediately wanted to try this out. 

While i looking at the donut i saw their best selling donut was this Pon De Ring (RM2.60). It said it was Japanese most famous donut with "mochi-mochi" texture. 

The ambient of the Mister Donut, simple yet nice.

So we ordered the Pon De Ring and the Angel Cream (RM2.60 ~ 2.80). Not sure the actual price. Anyway i love the Pon De Ring texture. The Angel Cream was the top 4 best selling donut. The angel cream was fresh whipping cream dust with icing sugar donut. It was good too. 

Recently i am into Pork Burger. I been eagle to try out this Japanese Pork burger, Ninja Joe. I heard of this burger from a ex-flogger so without much though we walked in for our lunch.

The menu was simple and the place was too. 

Too bad the pork burger taste very porky and cold. Quite disappointed with it. 

Cyn can't stand the porky smell and wanted to had some thing else to take away the porky smell. So we went to the opposite shop Hokkaido Ice Cream. 

We order the Vanilla and salted caramel (RM6.80).  If you notice that the ice cream was half finished. Funny thing during the purchasee of the ice cream. Cyn didn't pay for the ice cream and walk away eating it. So when i walked away from the shop the server called me to pay. See la how power is the porky smell pork burger. 

After Ice Cream, Cyn still can felt the porky smell in her mouth. So we went for some thing stronger (Cinnabon) to take away the smell.

Shop ambient of Cinnabon 

We ordered having here but the server packed it for us.

Mini Cinnabon roll (RM3.80), It was good but not hot. Actually you can ask the server to heat up for you.

After we clear the porky smell we hit the road and balik kampung. Along the way we went to Restoran Wing Lok Yuan 永樂園餐廳 for the famous claypot chicken rice.

Follow by lunch at Ikea cafe (This is not malaysia site but the food menu almost the same), Hot dog (RM2.00) and Dark Chocolate cake (RM5.83). I loved the hot dog very much because you can add your own onion and mustard yourself. They used to have pickle but so sad they don't have it anymore. The cake was good too. 

Swedish Meatballs (RM10.60) is one of their best selling dishes. 10 meatballs served with french fries, cream sauce and lingonberries sauce, Yum yum. The lingonberries sauce was hidden at the bottom of the cream sauce. 

We had supper at My HONEYMOON dessert shop. surprisingly the dessert were so good that i regret didn't visit them during our Hong Kong trip.

Day 2 KL Food Road Trip CNY 2012

We went to 1Utama the 2nd day of our KL Road trip. 1Utama is a very big mall that you might need to spend 1 whole day to walk around. Too bad still a lot shops was closed for the festive season. By the way we change our accommodation as well. We stay in some motel near 1Utama.

Our lunch at Dantaku Ramen Japanese Restaurant. Quite disappointed with the lunch. We walk around and found a lot of customer inside. Though it might be a good place for our lunch. Mana tau food taste soso nia :(
