Cafe Tai Lei Loi, Serradura @ Rua da Cunha
We headed to another side of Rua da Cunha with 2 rows of shoplots selling goodies and restaurants as well. As along the road, we spotted this shop selling serradura, one of famous and traditional Portuguese-Macanese pudding. But the shop we went is not the one which is famous with the serradura. The original shop is just 2 lots aways. Since we already tried the first shop and found it so so only, so we never bother to give a try anymore!
Peoples are busy eating their pork chop!
The Pork Chop Buns served here have a crispy exterior and a juicy pork chop right in between the bun. They also have new varieties like the Pork Chop Pinapple Bun and a few others but first timers definitely have to go for the original. The price for each bun cost about 10MOP/HK.

Yummm...yummmmm.....my pork chop bun!
After we visited Taipa Museum, we went to Cafe Tai Lei Loi Kei, which is just beside the museum for their famous pork chop bun. Apart from the Pork Chop bun, they do serve other snacks as well as drinks. However, you can never say that you have eaten here unless you have had their Pork Chop Buns. The Pork Chop Buns usually start selling at around 3pm and tend to sell out before 5pm. Also, expect a queue for purchasing these buns. However, hubby is lucky enough as he just need to queue less than 10 minutes and at that time, TVB is doing some shotting! Yeah!! U may see our face in TVB movies...hahaha!

Desserts @ Gelatina Mok Yi Kei
Having desserts always our 1st priority on every trips. After sampling all the goodies from Koi Kee Pasteleria, we went to this famous shop selling durian ice-cream and puddings which is located at the end corner of Rua da Cunha. The ice-cream was fantastic and the durian taste was so perfect.
Taipa Rua Da Cunha @ Macau
Taipa Rua da Cunha (the Portuguese for Cunhua Street) is a narrow but bustling street in the centre of Taipa Island. There are countless famed restaurants in Taipa Rua da Cunba Street that will provide you with plenty of traditional Chinese cuisine, especially Cantonese cuisine, and exotic cuisine like the Portuguese style, Italian style, French style and Korean style. Walking in the street, you don't have to worry about going hungry, the persistent sellers will keep offering you samples of their food as you walk from one shop to another. Anyway, you won't go back from the street with an empty stomach or empty hands, there are still a lot of shops selling dim sum like almond cakes, phoenix egg rolls, coconut flakes, and peanut candy. You can buy some of the dim sum back home for your families or friends
Pastelaria Koi Kee @ Macau
There are a lot of small bakeries around the islands in Macau and Taipa. Taipa Village have a Food Street or known as Rua Da Cunha.
Those bakeries making goodies, peanut candy,egg rolls and they will be preparing in front of you. Bonus is they will let you take some bite, (or a lot...) so you know
what flavor you like, to purchase.......Pastelaria Koi Kee, one of the famous bakery in Macau got one branch in Taipa (Rua Do Cunha) and 5 more in central Macau..
Their specialities are Almond Cookies, Egg Rolls and Peanut Candy with different variety buy a lot, it really taste yummy! When I was sampling the goodies, of their staff offered a piece of almond cookies from the big tray of cookies and first bite........ohhh....no! It's like love at first bite! It was so tasty. The almond nuts are so chruncy, and full of almonds.....and the peanut candy are so chewy. We bought alot of goodies back from Koi Kee. Its also a nice souvenir to friends as its only made in Macau, and its not that expensive, One small pack (vacuum sealed) is about 15 patacas and regular packs is 25 patacas. On the same stores, they would be selling some dried meats and my hubby bought back some boar meat. Taste wise, a bit weird and the texture is very hard. We still prefer the local version!

Restaurant Hai Peng @ Macau
It was my first trip to Macau. I went there with my hubby for a short break on 1-3 December 2009. We never thought of bring our kids together because Macau is not famous for their tourist areas but is more on gambling.
We reached Macau Airport at about 10.30am and it took us less than 1/2 hour to clear from custom. Then we take public bus to reach our hotel, Best Western Taipa. This hotel is located about 10 - 15 minutes away from the airport and it is very convenient. However, the hotel is quite old and the mattress are so hard, feeling like sleeping on the floor.
After dropped our luggage at the hotel, we immediately look for foods!! We keep on asking the locals where to find a good place for breakfast. So, we went to this restaurant ????? to had our breakfast, wantan mee. The noodles are so springly and soups are very nice, the prawn wantan are superb big and juicy. The yin yong tea was so thick and nice.
We went back again on the day before we depart back to KL!

Kuang Fong Restaurant @ Klang
After finished buying some groceries from Jusco, we went to Kuang Fong Restaurant at Klang, Jalan Meru to have our late dinner.
When we reached there, they was not much table already since it was 10pm but if you come during lunch time, it will be fully packed and you need to wait for a long queue.
Once seated, we ordered their famous mee sua with oysters, fried chu hun ken or tapioca noodle(aka hokkien mee) and war tan hor and drinks. My hubby and sons like their mee shua very much as the mee shua texture is different from what we normally buy to cook which is more soft. The friend chu kun ken was full of wok hei but the war tan hor is a bit watery and not much ingredients.
Total damages for the dinner was RM30+.

Spring Golden Restaurant@Shah Alam
Finally, my hubby managed to buy their famous char siew and duck but not the goose cos sold off liow!
The char siew was slightly blackened and crisp skin enwrapping tender belly pork. Drizzled with the sweet char siu sauce, the barbequed pork is simply very tasty and juicy and it was cut thickly. Nothing to shout about the duck, very simple roosted duck but the sauce was very nice to eat with rice!
I was not working today and staying at home with my 2 kids while waiting for hubby coming back from home. Realising that char siew at Spring Golden Restaurant will finished by noon because every time I went there either char siew finished already or closed shop, I immediatelly called up my hubby to pack back char siew rice for us.
However, very disappointed again cos all char siew sold out again. So my hubby just pack roasted chicken rice for us which is turned out be louzy lunch for us. The meat was not tender and skin was not crispy, rice are not fragrant and the chili are not wonderful to eat along with the chicken........
Aside from the amazing char siu, Spring Golden also serves excellent Vinegared Pork Trotters (Chee Kiok Chou) - a nice balance of sweet and sour with sinful melt in the mouth pork trotters. They also have roast duck or siew ngor which is pretty decent. Another specialty of this place, is the unusual Sakura Pork. A new way of raising pigs, they are fed lactobacillus feed , with no chemicals or antibiotics. Besides this outlet, they also have one in Glenmarie which is run by a former worker of theirs.

Kim Choo Kueh Chang @ Singapore
My aunty from Singapore bought back some Nyonya chang or Glutinous rice dumplings from Kim Choo for us. It was a very small and mini in size but very nice to eat. The glutinous rice dumplings was wrapped with fragrant pandan leaves with minced pork, wintermelon cubes and Nonya spices. The taste was very unique and is was different from the Chinese dumplings which we usually eat.
Traditionally, Nonya cuisine is a fusion of Chinese and Malay influences and quite often draws inspiration from both its techniques and use of key ingredients and spices. The Kim Choo Nonya Dumpling is no exception to this rule and is one of many unique culinary delights interpreted from a time- honored Chinese cuisine.
Here are a few distinctive ways to tell the two apart. For instance, the Nonya-interpretation uses fragrant pandan leaves to wrap the dumpling instead of bamboo sections.
And while Chinese dumplings are filled with fatty pork fillings, Kim Choo Nonya dumplings usually contain seasoned minced pork and sliced winter melon cubes with five spice powder (cinnamon, star anise, fennel, cumin and coriander seeds) and a secretly-concocted ingredient developed from Straits spiced, the dumplings bring a plethora of flavors to please even the toughest of skeptics.
They also sell other types of chang, such as Salty Chang, Salty Chang with Salted Egg, Cantonese Bean Chang , X.O. Salty Chang, Chili Prawn Chang, Mini Nonya / Salty Chang, Mini X.O. Salty Chang, Mini Chilli Prawn Chang, Kee Chang ,Kee Chang with Red Bean, Kee Chang Vegetarian Dumpling and also noodles, soup, seafoods and others...

Chiem Choo Seafood Restaurant@Klang
After send my son to school, I joined my colleague for lunch at Chiem Choo Seafood Restaurant, at Batu Belah, Klang. Actually my hubby have told me about this restaurant many years back for their famous dishes, we unfortunately we never managed to get here. Finally I realise this is the place that we have looking for many years after I reached this restaurant.
We ordered Steamed fish (Red fish), squid, fried 4 types of beans and vegetables, Salt Fried Chicken and Tapioca Noodle.
The steamed fish in teow chow style was very nice and fresh and squid is yummy, bouncy and cooked to perfection as it was blanched and then drizzled with fried garlic oil and it get well with the grounded hot and sour green chilli paste. The salt chicken's skin was very crispy and fried beans are also goods with alot of sambal paste.
Their signature noodle, Hokkien-style Tapioca Noodle is a to-die-for!! When it was served, I gave a frowning look cos the presentation was not impressive at all. Seriously good! The noodle has a nice chewy and bouncy texture.

Kee Heong Restaurant@Klang
My colleague ask me to join him for lunch with our customer this afternoon at Kee Heong Restaurant which is famous for their bah kut teh.
When we reached the place at about 12.25pm, the place already crowded with people enjoying their lunch but we still managed to find a table.
We ordered 1 claypot bah kut teh and 1 dry version of bah kut teh with yau char kueh and vegetables. The soups is very nice but still not comparable to Teluk Pulai and Fung Keow Bah Kut Teh. As for the dry version, i found it was also good but a bit salty.

New House
Finally our newly purchased Single Storey Terrace house at Bandar Bukit Raja has been delivered to us. Actually we bought the house in year April 2007 and supposed to hand over on April 2009 but they have delayed for 1 month plus. Therefore we are charging them LAD for about RM1K.
I went there with my colleague to check on the house and found that the house has alot of crack on the walls and the quality is quite bad. I told my hubby on this and he also agreed with me that not many developer can deliver high quality house even big big developer like Sime Darby!
We are going again to mark on the cracks and to submit to the developer for rectification works as the warranty period is only 24 months ...........

Restaurant Famous Seremban Favourites@Sunwaymas
Last Sunday i didnt went back to my mum house. Therefore, we have to find our own breakfast, lunch and dinner. Initially we decided to go to Spring for their char siew but turned out that the shops is closed on weekend.
We ordered 2 Hakka mee for me and my hubby, Wantan mee and one char siew rice for my kids with soya bean drinks and the meals come later in about 15 minutes.
The Hakka mee look a bit blunt, plain and served with minced pork only but on first bite, you will feel the springness of the noodles and the taste was so nice.
So, we headed to Sunwaymas to Famous Seremban Favourites Restaurant for their famous Hakka mee and Char Siew.
When we reached there, the place already crowded but luckily we managed to find a small table for 4 of us. It was very hard to get them to write down our order and it takes a while for them to entertain us. Quite bad services...i would said so!

I am not exaggerating here, the meat really dissolves just by moving it around in your mouth and applying little pressure using the tongue.The Char Siew already tastes great on its own but you can dip them into the Char Siew sauce for a sweeter, enhanced flavor.
Overall it was a very tasty lunch.......and cost RM24 for all!

Sakae Sushi@AEON Bukit Tinggi, Klang
For the last few weeks i was rather busy with my sons homeworks and revision because their exam is around the corner. So to take a break , we went to Jusco Bukit Tinggi at night to fill our empty stomach since we were only taking light meal in the afternoon.
As usual my kids will run inside Lavendar bakery shop to buy their favourite breads; which are hotdogbread, Tai Yang Ping,Tuna bread, Egg Loaf, Banana Cakes and etcc.....
We headed to Sakae Sushi after that and the place is quite crowded but luckily we managed to find a place. My kids dont eat sushi but they like the teriyaki salmon and chicken. But i found the chicken a bit salty to my taste. We also ordered 2 salmon and lobster handrolls with 1 fried soba and there is nothing to shout about!
Overall it was quite a satisfactory dinner but a bit pricey. Total damages is RM58+. Thanks my dear hubby and lovely sons for the dinner! (actually my hubby is paying on behalf of my kids to celebrate Mother's Day). Hehehe...

Newton Food Courts, Malacca
Before we heading back to KL, we dropped by at this nicely decorated foodcourts, Newton Food Courts.
There are many stalls which serve local foods such as porridge, wan tan mee, curry fish head and etc... and we decided to try their popiah, chee cheong fun aka HK style, claypot chicken rice and Malacca fried oyster omelette....
The portion of the popiah is quite generous but taste wise are not comparable with the stall i have tried in Kepong morning market, the chee cheong fun version is quite unique as the skin is make with eggs. The fried oyster omelette is very nice with the juicy and succulent oysters inside and the portion is quite generous at the price of RM10.00. Dad and hubby give a big thumb up for both foods!
But the claypot chicken rice is a bit disappointed. The rice used is very small and nothing special on it.

Restaurant Hakka Food Fair, Klang
I dont know what to have for lunch today and i was around Taman Eng Ann area. I round the place few times and found this restaurant and tell myself to give it a try.
A Hakka family-run concern, it is famous for its Hakka Mee and Yong Tau Foo. The Yong Tau Foo is served in clear tasty soup but the chilli sauce is nothing much to shout about. The soup here does not bear the taste of salted fish which is the signature ingredient for Hakka Yong Tau Foo.
However, the Hakka Mee is excellent – the handmade noodles are soft and springy, and peppered with tasty minced pork and a couple of fish balls. Besides the minced meat, you can choose from their selection of toppings such as pig trotters, mushroom with chicken feet, spicy prawns and the unique fried fish wantan.
Ong Kee Yap Chee May Big Bun Sdn Bhd, Taman Connaugt
Tonite there is a pasar tani near my place. Therefore, after dinner my hubby wants to buy something to fill up his stomach for supper. Therefore he go and buy this BIG BUN.
This bun is three times the normal tai (big) pau—its width is 18cm, weight 450g). At RM5.00 each, Yip Chee May Tai Pau is a favourite not only among the locals in Cheras or Kuala Lumpur but also those from outstation.
Nadeje Pasteries@Dataran Pahlawan, Malacca
After lunch at Old Town White Coffee, we spotted Nadeje Pasteries Cafe which is just opposite to it. Out of curiosity,
me and hubby went in to see and found that they are selling mille crepe. Hubby choose the original crepe as he saw the advertisement in the shop shown that is one of their famous crepe.

It was very special compared to the normal cakes or cheese cakes that we eat. There are many layers of crepe filled with creams....

U.E Confectioney@Mahkota Parade, Malacca
After shopping at Dataran Pahlawan, we proceed to next mall, Mahkota Parade which is just opposite the road.
The mall is very dark and the environment there is very dull compared to Dataran Pahlawan. At one corner, we spotted a small outlet which is selling egg tarts and lao po peng . They also sells siew pao, herbal drinks and etc..... but the egg tarts is the one who attracts me!
However, i just bought one to test before decide to buy more. The pastry is not very flaky and the egg custard is not very smooth compared to Tong Kee and John Kings egg tarts.
Therefore, i dont want to try the rests.............

Old Town White Coffee@Malacca
We went to Dataran Pahlawan for a shopping and treat our stomach as it was near to the Famosa and Red Buildings. It was a very bad traffic jam the whole day on the way to Dataran Pahlawan as everyone is coming to Malacca for holidays, from North and South especially Johorian and Singaporian.
Nothing much special about this place except it is very long with 2 storey buildings, occupied by a lot of small shops and eateries. For me, i found the planning of the shops are very messy and not well organised. The signboard are not clear and no proper directions on the shops. We round and round the same place like crazy...
At last, we ended up at Old Town White Coffee for late lunch. We ordered, Curry Laksa, Nasi Lemak, Hainan Chicken Chop Rice and Kuey Teow soup. The curry laksa is lack of lemak compared to KL version, the Hainan Chicken Chop is tasty and my children love the kuey teow soup very much.

After our breakfast at Restaurant Pan Heong, we proceed with our journey to Malacca. On the way, we decided to have early lunch at Tow Kee Hakka Noodle Restaurant at Seremban town, opposite Seremban big wet market. However, immediately we dropped out our intention after we see the restaurant. It was very dirty and the place was so cramped. Morever, it was near to a pet shops with those animals pissing and shitting arounds.
My mum and dad are nagging on me why i am introducing this kind of restaurant to them. I told them that this restaurant is famous for their Hakka mee but they are reluctants to even give a try.....

Fung Keow Bah Kut Teh Restaurant@Klang
My dear was not working today because he need to be a one day supervisor to supervise the renovation of our backyard!
Since he is so free today, i ask him to joint me for quick lunch at Taman Rashna for bah kut teh at Fung Keow Restaurant.
During lunch time, this restaurant was not very packed compared to their neighbour, Teluk Pulai Bah Kut Teh which is fully packed until have to queue for table. We ordered a pot of claypot bah kut teh with char kuey, teas and rice for two.
The soup was very tasty, typical klang style, rich in flavor and slightly thicker and the meat comes in huge chunks, and lots of them.

During lunch time, this restaurant was not very packed compared to their neighbour, Teluk Pulai Bah Kut Teh which is fully packed until have to queue for table. We ordered a pot of claypot bah kut teh with char kuey, teas and rice for two.

Restaurant Pan Heong@Batu Caves
Since we still have 2 more days holidays, I proposed to hubby to visit Malacca with my parents. We wake up early in the morning and faster get ourselves ready for our 2 hours journey.
Our first stop is at Restaurant Pan Heong at Batu Caves, which is famous with their porridge, cantonese style kuey tiow (wat tan hor), fried mamak style noodles and fried pork belly.
The place was so packed event in the early morning of weekend but we still managed to get a seat. Once seated, we proceed to order their famous dished and there are 'sang yu' porridge, wat tan hor, fried mamak noodles and fried pork belly with soya beans drink.
The service are super fast and our wat tan hor reached us within 5-10 minutes, follow with porridge and the rest... The wat tan hor is superb tasty but mum and dad comments that their wat tan soup is not enough to cover the kuey keow and therefore make it too thicky. But my childrens like the wat tan hor very much.
As for the 'Sang Yu' porridge, it was extremely smooth and tasty. Dad give a thumb up! Mum likes the mamak noodles and the pork belly. The pork belly is very crisy and tasty to go along with the chili sauce.
Total damages for the breakfast is RM59.

Hiong Kee Hainan Chicken Rice Restaurant-@Bukit Tinggi Klang
Today is Labour Day... Very sien since we have no where to go...eemmm.. Thinking where to go for breakfast...
Suddenly i recalled there is one restaurant, opposite Giant Bukit Tinggi selling hainan chicken rice. Hence i immediately proposed to my hubby and childrens to go Hiong Kee Restaurant for breakfast.
When we reached there, the tables are not fully packed and we immediately get a place to sit down. Hubby ordered 1/2 portion of steamed chicken with char siew and drinks. My childrens are having wan tan noodles with rice as well.
The service is slow as we need to wait around 15 minutes for the wan tan noodles.
The steamed chicken served was nice with their spicy chillly, blended with ginger and vinegar. Nothing special about the char siew and wan tan noodles.
Overall it was a satisfactory breakfast.

Kwong Woh Tong
Today we went to Jusco Bukit Tinggi just to buy Milo and Cutie compact toilet paper because they were having sales for Labour Day. Unfortunately we are unable to get one as it has been sold off and people already went to grab earlier than us!
After that, we decided to have the herbal jelly or gwei ling go at Koong Woh Tong near to the Jusco supermarket. The herbal tea shop was originated from China and has branches in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia and each outlet has the same design, where two big "gold" containers are placed in front with the two types of herbal tea. There are two kinds of herbal tea served: a sweet and really bitter one and normally we opted for sweet one! The herbal tea is cooked offside and they deliver the tea in large metal containers which the ladies manning the stall will distribute to these containers to keep warm.
Besides herbal tea, they also serve herbal jelly known as gwei ling go in ceramic pots (RM6 for a small one and RM9 for big one). When you order the jelly, they will serve it with a teapot filled with a diluted honey syrup. It needs to be diluted for you to mix it with the bitter jelly. This version is not too bitter and nice as it is chilled. You can also opt to have it warm. Gwei ling go is said to be made from turtle shell which is grinded to a powder hence the name gwei which is cantonese for tortoise. The jelly also has numerous herbs and is said to help prevent sickness and relieve body heat.
We ordered 2 big bowl and 1 small bowl of herbally jelly to share but my kids dont like it at all as they claimed it was very bitter even we put alot of sugar for them. Then me and my hubby have to finished it!

Bayou Restaurant@Alamanda Putrajaya
We have been to Putrajaya once to watch the International Fireworks last 2 years but have never really visit this place.
Last Saturday me and hubby decided to bring the kids to Alamanda Putrajaya for shopping. It was quite near from our place which took us about 20 minutes to reach.
My kids quite enjoying the trips as we are passing by alot of bridges and they tell me that this place is so clean compared to other places.....
The parking in Alamanda is not free eventhough it was a bit outskirt from the KL town but the parking there is almost full as there are quite a numbers of people visiting this mall...mostly are all Malays....
The design of the mall is very modernised and with the open concept.. Nothing much to shop at this mall as it was not very commercialised compared to others in KL town.
After we are tired, we headed to the restaurants to fill up our stomach. There are quite a numbers of restaurants such as Japanese, Thai's foods, fast foods and etc... At last, we ended up at this Bayou Restaurant as they are offering mushroom fettucini at RM2.00 per plate if our order value is more than RM30.00.
I ordered Grilled Chicken with Rosemary sauce for myself, hubby ordered his favourites, Grilled Beef Sirloin and my kids, Mushroom Fettucini and drinks.
The grilled chicken is very tasty and the meat was very tender but the beef was overcooked and is very hard. My kids dont like the fettucini but luckily they already had nasi lemak at Rasa food courts ...so me and my hubby have to finished it and my hubby said the fettucini is quite nice...
However, please take note that their service are super slow...Total damages for the dinner is RM76+.

Bar B Q Plaza@ Jusco Bukit Tinggi, Klang
Today is my mother- in law's birthday...so my hubby was asking me where to bring her for dinner. Since today is a normal day and i can't go so far as the kids need to sleep early, so i suggest to hubby to go back to Bar B Q Plaza at Jusco Bukit Tinggi.
After bring the kids back from school, we immediately rushes to Jusco Bukit Tinggi to meet up with my BIL and MIL. We headed straight away to first floor and the restaurant was very quiet, not crowded as what happened during weekends...
I was given the chances to take charges what to order for that night....so i ordered one set of supreme seafood sets, 2 plates of udon noodles; one for the kids and one for us, pandan chicken and drinks...
This is the second time i came back here for dinner as i really missed their speciality sauce that mixed with chilly padi and garlic. It was sooooo nice to eat with those grilled meats and vege.
As for the soup, it taste like normal clear soup. The pandan chicken has been cut into very small pieces and nothing to shout about..
Total damages for the dinner is RM102+.

Equatorial Hotel@Bangi
My husband's company will organised annual dinner every year at hotels that near to their office; ie Palace of the Golden Horses, Mines Resort, Putrajaya and this time is at Bangi...Equatorial Hotel!
Every year we will bringing back lucky draw gift ranging from Induction Cooker to voucher to small electrical appliances. But for this year, my hubby won 2 prizes, that is an Induction cooker and Jusco RM50.00 voucher for the Best Dressing.
Normally the buffet dinners served in hotels are louzy and yukkk...Everytime we have to go for 2nd round after the dinner as that foods are really suck! Foods in 5-6 stars hotels are even worst than the food stalls and its much much more cheaper!
The dinner served at 8am sharp after speech by their MD and ED. The foods are served in buffet style and everybody need to queue to take their foods and since my hubby is at managerial position, we are served by the waitress...
The foods are puts separately at a very big plate and the foods served are Nyonya chicken, Assam prawn, Grilled Lamb and Beef, Fried Cauliflower, Minced Beancurd and Sweet & Sour Fish... Desserts served are cheese cake, puddings, Malays kuihs and cendol...
Overall i would said the foods are really suck except Nyonya chicken and fish is average!
