早早板面~ Jojo Little Kitchen, Desa Sri Hartamas

This place is our frequent breakfast place in Desa Sri Hartamas besides the kopitiam nearby. They have different types of pan mee, taste is good, price also affordable. Besides locals, there are many Japanese or Korean customers eat in here too and most of them are family (parents and kids). The place is run by few foreign workers who has been working here since it's opening. They recognize us and remember what's our usual order since we eat in frequently. 

Besides different type of pan-mee, we also like the snacks ~ fried pork and fried wantan. Below are some of the pan mee we order the most. I normally go for dry pan mee since I love 'kon-lou'. Once in a while I will had curry pan mee (soup) when I miss Penang curry mee. He always stick to his only choice~ Mala-pan mee (spicy pan mee).

Minced Pork Pan Mee (Dry)

Dry version pan mee with dark soy sauce (caramel soy sauce) as base sauce topped with minced pork. The minced pork is kind of sweet marinated yet a little salty.

Pork Ball Pan Mee (Dry)

The different between the soup and dry version is, the pan mee and soup is separate for dry version. The noodles will be drenched or tossed with dark soy sauce (caramel soy sauce) to seasoned the noodles. 

 

Fried Pork Pan Mee (Dry) & Fried Pork 

I would say the dry version pan mee(s) all more or less similar taste since they use the same sauce~ dark soy sauce or with minced pork. The only different is the topping. Recommend to try their Fried Pork which has a crispy layer taste like it has been deep fried after coated with fried chicken or tempura batter. Quite unique taste. It can be order ala carte snacks not just with the pan mee.

Hot & Spicy Pan Mee (Soup)

This ma-la pan mee pretty similar to Korean Su-jae-bi (Korean Knife Cut Noodle) therefore he often order the same thing. I can eat spicy but I can't handle the spiciness of this mala-pan mee even though we had request to reduce the spiciness.

Knife Cut Noodle with Dried Prawn Soup 
We prefer this knife cut noodle than the signature soup pan mee. The soup is savoury since it's pork + prawn broth. This is the only soup noodle dish that he will order if he doesn't feels like having ma-la pan mee.

 

Curry Laksa Pan Mee

I like the milky curry and fried tofu. I try the dried version but I don't like it. This is because besides the curry sauce, the noodle also add-in sweet soy sauce minced pork which is similar to the dry version pan-mee which making it taste salty. I would prefer soup version for this dish.  

Pasta & Coffee~ Soul Cafe, Lorong Kek Chuan, Penang

Bird's wedding day! As her request, I will assist her in several task and first thing first in the morning is drive and send her to bridal house at Lorong Kek Chuan for bridal makeup and dress-up. While waiting for turns for everyone~ the groom, bride, best man, bridesmaid take turn to make-up, some of us hop over to Soul Cafe next door for lunch. Besides coffee, the pasta is really really good! We order different types of pasta ~ Spaghetti Aglio e Olio, Linguine al Carbonara, Linguine al Boscaiola,, none of it disappointed us. My cappucino is served in a mug that resemble camera lens - now I recall I've been seeing it few times in instagram from friend's post. And we get free tapas after I uploaded the coffee and food pictures onto my Insta and tagged their page. Wait, so is that why my friend who visit here posted pictures in insta? haha. Oh, also surprise to find out that there's a Female only bunk hotel just above the cafe, know as Sogor Girls Dormitory. 

  

Charcoal Grilled Chicken~ 지코바 치킨. G-Cova, Mont' Kiara Meridin

Discover this G-cova - Korean Barbeque & Grilled Chicken from a local free copy Korean newspaper. On our way home from Pavilion, decided drop by the MK Meridin to take-out their charcoal grilled chicken as dinner at home. It has 3 flavors available: G-Cova Charcoal grilled chicken (숯불양념치킨), Soya-sauce Black Chicken (간장양념치킨) and Salted Grilled chicken (소금구이치킨).  We order the G-Cova + Black Chicken Combo @ RM50.00. It's half bird of charcoal grilled chicken with medium spicy + half bird of soya sauce marinated chicken. The chicken also comes with boiled egg and tteok (rice cakes). Like the tteok very much especially the one comes with soya sauce marinated chicken. It taste like Gungjung Tteokbokki (Korean stir fried rice cakes with soya sauce). Apparently G-Cova delivery FREE within Mont' Kiara area. Another pork-free Korean Chicken choice for us besides Wow chicken, BBQ Chicken and Kyochon 1991.
