Sunday or Anyday Is A Great Day @ Coffee Ritual, Section 14 Petaling Jaya

First thing first, I'm sure those who have visited my blog before would noticed the change in the layout and I'm still in the midst of tweaking it. Quite a change from my previous "black" layout, eh? There is an added "Location" feature after "Labels" at the bottom of each post which has a Google Map link. Note the extra tabs on top - Home, More About Me/Contact, Where I Ate and My 3D Food Wall (check out my food pics here!). Thanks Blogger ... finally (but better late than never! ).



After a hectic Saturday and an early start on Sunday morning, I happily joined Ash and Kev at Coffee Ritual as I really needed my coffee and what more at a place where I can chill out. I am no coffee aficionado, but do know that I truly enjoy each of my visits here. Somehow or rather, I never took photos during my earlier visits. I guessed it's cos I just wanted to chill whenever I'm here, hence, no camera with me. This time round, I decided to use my handphone camera function :o). I first visited Coffee Ritual about a year back, enjoyed the experience and have been dropping by now and then for a cuppa and dessert. Now, let me share my ritual with you whenever I'm here in Coffee Ritual - a ritual that is highly recommended by me ...

Order a cup of Single Gourmet Origin Coffee - Brazil Fancy Santos (RM6), brewed using a Vacuum Coffee Maker (Siphon Coffee Maker)

Crêpe with Berkeley Farms Ice-cream (RM9)

The creamy ice cream with the aromatic thin crêpe (I do believe there's sweetened creamer in it which I absolutely love!). Having these two together is enough to make one sing ..."O Happy Day...O Happy Day..." :o). It's another one of those weekends that we all should experience more often ... how was yours?

Cheapy! Cheapy! Cheap! Cheap! Breakfast @ Hing Lung Restaurant, San Francisco

Now, walking around the area, Hing Lung would have easily gone unnoticed and can even pass off as another simple (read : no frills) Chinese restaurant that one can get here in Malaysia. However one thing that really differs is their cheap breakfast menu. Waking up early and having gone for a walk, mom and I decided to drop by Hing Lung for breakfast as we had enjoyed their breakfast set (namely the varieties of porridge) the last time we dropped by a couple of years ago. However, as Mom was going to cook porridge later for dinner on that day we went to Hing Lung, we decided to try something else....

Between 8am - 11am every Mon-Fri, Hing Lung dishes out breakfast specials. For USD3.75, one can choose from the range of porridge and noodles from the breakfast menu. We decided to order a bowl of Beef Stew Vermicelli (rice noodle) to share the rather large bowl of noodles ...

Look at the amount of beef stew and noodles...right to the brim! How's that for USD3.75? Value for money? Well, it would have been good if ALL of the beef stew were tender. A quarter of it was tough to chew on. I do like the texture of the vermicelli and the soup which is clear and sweet. Note : Stick to the porridge for a more satisfying breakfast unless Hing Lung can assure me that the whole serving of beef stew is totally tender!

Chinatown Essentials - Petaling Street KL (Part 2) Final

(NON-HALAL)


Continuing from Part 1 of Chinatown Essentials....we move on to Madras Lane (opens from 8am to 4pm daily but quite a lot of stalls are closed on Mondays).

I haven't been in here for ages and it seems this place hasn't really change through the years (well, at least not to me). Walking passed the meat stalls was definitely a challenge for me as I'm one that doesn't like handling raw meat and the sight of all these raw meat would definitely affect me.

See the leg sticking out at the bottom left of the pic ? Hahaha....It was an adventure for me indeed but I'm glad I made my way in there as I had forgotten how it was like. And now, I remember... it was this thought of wanting to remember that made me forget the fact that I was surrounded by all these raw meat and I could even stop to take photos! Documenting this place was more important and that made me overcome my fear! Hahaha...I know Mrs Pitt will surely stay outside and can do without the memories :p.

After passing all those stalls, we got to the food stalls and then decided to order some noodles to try...
