Food

I've been eating eating eating like nuts for the past week, spending lots of money in the process. Bah. Spending on food quite a waste, as you end up with nothing more than an extra few kgs of weight and a hole in your wallet. Let's say you spend 400 bucks on food. All of it eventually goes right down into the sewer. 400 bucks is enough to net you a fabulous pair of shoes. Or loads of clothes. Tangible stuff. That's the theory la... Am just saying it. XD I always succumb to the seduction of food so i'm a sucker.

Friday
I consumed crab fried rice again at Murni SS2, along with a humongous cup of blended Ribena (served with grotesque lychee which i detest with undying passion!) which i was unable to finish! The pics above and below are pictures of crab fried rice. I didn't take it on the day itself but i had some in my computer from my previous visits.

Another variant of the soft shelled crab rice. The rice and the crabs are pretty standard. The french fries and stuff are the only items that differ from time to time. Sometimes fries. Sometimes wedges. Sometimes fish crackers. Or a combo of two. Soft shelled crab fried rice is extremely filling. That's right. You don't mess with the crab fried rice!

Blended ribena. This pic was taken a long time ago and has longan inside, for which you have to ask. Otherwise, they'll chuck in chunks of disgusting rotten-looking lychee inside. Blended Ribena is large, with watermelon squares and nata de coco inside. Just a tip. If you eat crab rice, order a small drink, or you won't be able to finish it. And this is coming from a glutton who can eat lots.



Saturday was insane. Lunch with NSC and brown bear and we ate chicken + roasted pork rice at Wai Sek Gai SS2 (no pic here, unfortunately). Then some sorta shaved ice thingy just across the street at the freaky 100¥ shop that sells lots of Japanese products. Later we joined Tecky Fish and YW for badminton (disastrous. i have terrible reflexes) and, after that, juice drinking at Ming Tien. XD And... then we moved to Kanna section 17 for divine fried squid + onions. Holy.

Oh yeah. Sotong! I like. With loads of onions. Divine! Crazy ass divine. Give it a try. It's ever so fragrant. Onions so crisp. Ooh-lala. XD



Sunday morning. Duck rice at Sunrise @ Sea Park.
Not too bad. Not the best duck though. The meat was slightly tough especially at the drumstick portions. Best duck i've had was from KL. Dad brought it back and it was freakishly divine. Damn. It was from Pudu, if am not mistaken. Apparently the store owner is this eccentric uncle who always adds an extra zero when counting cash. If it costs 50 bucks, he'll say 500. You pay using a hundred ringgit note, then "ah. you pay me 1000".

After that duck rice, we buggered off to 1U for Wall E. KTZ in 1u for peanut broth thingy. Then Chilis for hardcore refilling of tostada chips and beef queso (divine. No pictures though)! Then at night Nasi Lemak Ayam at Sea Park (next to Maybank) for fried chicken.

Monday. Old town cafe for si mut milk tea + kaya butter toast. Nothing exciting here.

Tuesday Swensen's earthquake + Station1.
My steak. Didn't take it properly as i was in a hurry to gobble it down.


Wednesday. KTZ again but at the Kepong branch. Apparently the Kepong branch is the first ever KTZ outlet (if you can call it an outlet).

Situated at some roadside squatter-house like stalls. Not remotely impressive.

Looks like a hawker stall if you ask me.

There was even a tree sticking through the roof. However, the place was busy, with lots of patrons who obviously didn't care about its shabby appearance. :D All dessert tong suis had sold out when we arrived so we settled for the usual loh.

My mango loh. Ha. Oozy.

If you happen to visit KTZ, order their radish cake. It is definitely one of the better radish cakes that i've sampled. Dried shrimps, mushroom bits and slices of radish can be found inside. V. good.

Thursday, Today. Tong sui again at Section 17. Situated at this pasar malam-esque place. Open everyday i think.

The uncle in the picture is the owner. His hands are blurred coz he was waving at me. All the pots there contain some sort of dessert soup/broth.

Among them were: bubur cha cha, red bean soup, green bean soup, some oaty gandum thingy, glutinous red bean (is that what you call it?), boiled apple with lemon, boiled pear, boiled watermelon, boiled pear, boiled honeydew, boiled... papaya, barley with ginkgo and fuzhuk (what d'you call this in english?).

Their bubur cha cha is quite up to standard (and was nearly finished when i arrived). So is their oat thingy and the glutinous red bean. I would recommend those. I generally stay away from red and green bean as they're pretty damn boring. Barley ginkgo fuzhuk was good as well.

If you're looking for something less cloying, try the various boiled fruit soups. Refreshing. They taste mostly the same, yet slightly different according to the fruits. I tried the honeydew one and it obviously had the fragrance of honeydew. The apple lemon one is not too bad either. Only thing i have to complain is the presence of white fungus in all of the above fruit desserts. I don't like white fungi!

Stack of bowls @ 1.40 each :D When you arrive, the uncle will give you an empty bowl and you get to ladle the desserts yourself. The uncle always encourages customers to ladle as much as possible inside. Definitely affordable.

Thus concludes my 6 days of insane eating spree and if i keep it up at this rate i'm gonna end up becoming so fat that i won't be able to move like the fatties in Wall E. Gotta run now.
