Review: Sg. Nibong Char Kuey Teow @ Teluk Intan, Perak.

I just fulfill my crave for char kuey teow and it's from the stall nearby my home. Every Teluk Intan people would know which ckt stall I'm referring to. It's the famous Sg. Nibong ckt. <3

As far as I can remember, the stall existed since I'm still a kid. And it's still that famous till now. Tonight, I went there at 9.30 p.m. and Aunty Ah Hwa said tonight many people so you need to wait 1 hour. And so I placed my order and went back home (it's just 100 meters away) to bath.

My CKT in the making :)

On normal days, expect to wait for 20 - 30 minutes for this yummy. In fact, I found that Penang ckt is not as nice as this one. Penang people, please prove me wrong k? 

Talking about Penang ckt, Penang's version has prawns and the price is double of Sg. Nibong ckt. But Sg. Nibong ckt do not have prawns. To me, prawns are just sides that aren't that important. The most important are the "wok hei" and taste. For your information, you can request to add "chilli boh" for that extra kick (which I love!). Add on extra fried lards too! Yum!

The yum!

The price now is RM3.00 per packet. Pretty fair price in comparison to Penang's ckt. The stall opens at 8.00 p.m. till 12.00 a.m. You can opt to sit there and eat (do order a glass of herbal tea to go with your ckt) or take away. I prefer take away as there are pretty much mosquitoes and mosquitoes love me :(

Review: Master Toast, The Scott Garden

Anyone who knows me well would know that I frequent Scott Garden so much that I go there for at least thrice a week. Reasons being it's near to my workplace, good chill out place with colleagues, Tesco is in there and plenty of food outlets!

Yup. What I want to share today is this restaurant that I discover a few months back - Master Toast. By far, this restaurant serves Western and Eastern food and what makes me like this restaurant so much are the foods and services.

The first time I went there was with darling Amelia. Don't remember what we ordered but what I know is the foods remind me of my mum's cooking. Only here I can really taste something similar to my mum's food.

I particularly like their dessert especially gingko barkey with fu chuk. Not to say I'm a huge fan of this dessert (but I really love this dessert), their dessert is very yummy and it's not the diluted type. You can expect lots of gingko inside!

Other than that, the toasts are nice too. Colleagues really like their toast and mind you, it's toast on a stick.

Besides, the dishes are nice and do ask for their homemade sambal. It taste just like mum's! Seriously!

Service wise, the do deliver to our office for purchase above RM50. Delivery is free by the way.

Do go and give them a try. You won't regret it! :)

p/s: Amelia and I just got a complimentary gingko barley with fu chuk today :)

Food Post: Fish Head Noodle Reviews (4-in-1)

This is a 4-in-1 fish head noodle review. I'm not really a fan of fish head noodle but it just struck me to try the noodle and make comparison of which shop serves the best one.


Kaki Bola XO Fish Head Noodle, Paramount Garden, PJ

Up to now, I still favour the one at Kaki Bola XO Fish Head Noodle at Paramount Garden, PJ.

Fish Paste Noodle

Went for this with Fiona. Fiona is a Sarawakian and she has very good taste bud. Eventually, she said it's very hard to get "coarse" mee hoon in KL and apparently this restaurant serves that besides the regular mee hoon we had.

Soup is fragrant and the mee hoon just perfectly cooked. I choose to have fish paste noodle due to laziness. Their regular portion is actually very large and the have large on the menu also. I have no idea how is the large though.

No. 23, Jalan 20/14, Paramount Garden, 46100 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

Home Made Fish Head Noodle, Mid Valley City

This is just so so. Nothing to rave about. Went for this after work with Amelia.

Bad mee hoon texture. It's not soft enough. The soup ain't fragrant enough. Not recommended.

Address:
G(E)-015, Ground Floor, Mid Valley City, Lingkaran Syed Putra, 59200 Kuala Lumpur.

Win Soon Fish Head Noodles, Kuchai Lama, KL


Apparently this restaurant is very popular. Went for this with Chris the other day. Since it's popular, I suppose the food are awesome. But...major letdown! Worst fish head noodle ever! Seriously! Both of us don't even finish our food. :(

On the side note, I think they added much MSG cause I feel so thirsty after that. Will not go to eat at there anymore.

Woo Pin Fish Head Noodle, Taman Danau Desa, KL

Went for this tonight with uni mate, Waiz. This restaurant is also famous for its fish head noodle. It actually tasted good but somehow I still prefer the one from Kaki Bola.

Will recommend this also. Portion is actually quite huge. Somehow, the fish paste tasted a little salty to me.

Review: Trésor Midnight Rose from Lancôme

I won something from participating in a Facebook contest! And it's a 50 ml bottle of Trésor Midnight Rose EDP. Indeed, I'm quite surprise winning it though. <3

I won it back in February. Yeah, this is a very late blog post but hey, I just started to blog again after disappearing from the blog sphere for almost a year.

Back to the review, received the prize a week later. Love at first sight..to the bottle's design. Haha! With purple hues and a small purple flower, it's really nice :)

So here's the description for the EDP:

Charming. Mischievous. Desirable.  A sexy-sweet blend of raspberry, rose, vanilla and sensual musk for mischievous femininity: Catch my heart if you can! 

Top Notes: Raspberry, Black currant bud absolute 

Middle Notes: Rose absolute, Jasmine 

Base Notes: Vanilla, Musk

Basically, I had been using it for a few times. I think it suits both day and evening use, just that I prefer to use it during dinners and night outings. It has a very sweet blackcurrant smell and slowly it subsides into soft, powdery, "vanilla-ish" smell with subtle blackcurrant scent. And the scent is very long lasting! Like seriously. It lasted till the next morning! Not that I didn't bath after outings but the scent stayed in my clothes and the whole room smells so sweet!

Personally, I would recommend this perfume as it's not too matured for my age and yet not too girlish. It's just right. :)
