Asiacafe, Subang

If my friends and I ever crave for Penang Char Kway Teow (fried flat noodles), we usually head to Asiacafe in Subang. It has lots and lots of hawker food stalls and lots of choices. There are a few stalls here that are pretty good. Of course, I haven't tried all of them, so, there might still be other hidden good food around.
There's my fave sushi stall...the soft shell crab roll topped with ebikko (fish roe) is my fave here.

Then, there's my fave dessert stall where I normally get Durian Pancakes from (they have Mango, Jackfruit, Dragon Fruit too but my fave is still the Durian Pancakes). They also sell other desserts like puddings etc. etc.
A mention should go to the Chicken Kway Teow Soup (with prawn wantan). One of the better ones that I've tasted. I didn't take a photo of it, it's located opposite the Penang Char Kway Teow stall and occupies the corner lot. The little Takoyaki stall is quite good too. Okay, back to my fave Penang Char Kway Teow. Remember to look out for stall No. 5.
I always ask for extra beansprouts. It's slightly moist and the kway teow is separated and fried. So, each strand is tasty! Gosh, I think I'm going to have a plate of this later....Ha ha ha....Why do all the unhealthy food taste so good and why does the healthy food usually taste like grass???? Well, it's Friday! Have a good weekend. Mrs Pitt, don't forget to take time off to smell the flowers! Say Hi to Zahara for me. I have got to study! I'm having exams and it's hard retaining all those info in my head! Aargh...Ok, back to the books now.

Food Foundry, Section 17 PJ

When I started this blog, I didn't know I'll be heading this way. Sure, eating is my passion and friends were already commenting that I seem to talk and post a lot about food. Ha ha ha...Then came July, I got a new camera which takes pretty decent food pictures and it seems since then, this blog turned into somewhat of a food blog. In our daily lives, especially for those who work 9 to 5; breakfast, lunch and dinner (maybe supper?) are the highlights of each day. Don't you agree? LOL....well, as for me, it's that and also my travel. It's doesn't take a lot for me to be happy. Real simple happiness...and it goes a long way! Well, onward with the food!

Many have written about Food Foundry in Section 17 and for today, I won't be writing much but will let the pics do the "talking". The photos were collected over several trips to Food Foundry - I did not have all those food by myself and in one sitting! Though I'm sure some of you might think I can if I choose to! :op

The Western food is better than the Asian ones in my opinion and reasonably priced. The appetisers and snacks are pretty good too. I prefer the Original Mille Crepe cake along with a cup of nice black coffee for dessert (they have Chocolate, Strawberry and Green Tea flavours too). I can't seem to find this cake anywhere else in the Klang Valley, though it seems there's an even better version available in Malacca. So Malacca folks, lucky you!

Tian Ya Ker Mee Cendawan, Lorong Haji Taib 5

I had read about the famous Kin Kin Pan Mee somewhere at Jalan T.A.R. However, I've not been there and during my earlier days when my office was nearer to KL, we use to frequent this stall at Lorong Haji Taib 5 instead.
To say that it's pure Pan Mee would not be right as its sign says Mee Cendawan (Mushroom Noodles). I had the opportunity to have breakfast here again after 3 years or so when I had to attend a course downtown. Being early, we had no problems looking for a empty car park lot as we arrived there at about 8.15am.

Well, it does have the same "stretched" flour noodles, done the way your regular bowl of pan mee is done. The lady here cooks it in a pot for about two servings over a fierce fire. She couldn't help smiling as I took pics of her.
However, as it says, it's full of mushrooms and with some meat (non-halal) - with no ikan bilis (anchovies) in sight. So, that's where the difference is. I had one with egg where it's at the bottom of the bowl (cooked when the flour noodles are poured onto it). Add in lots of fried shallots and this was one hot and piping bowl of breakfast goody from the backlane. Good food calls for certain things to be overlooked at times, you know what I mean? ;o) But that's what makes it so good too. Ha ha ha....Oh, do take note that they are closed on Tuesdays.
