Chai Kueh~ 潮州美食菜糕 Deframe F&B Teow Chew Delicacies, Taman Rakyat

I kept thinking bout chai kuey after seeing it from my family group chat post. So I ask my foodie neighbour where I can get nice chai kuey in KL, and my neighbour send me these chai kuey few days later~ so blessed! And it's yummy! I 'sapu' more than 6 chai kuey at one go after receive this haha! This Deframe F&B selling 4 types of flavours of chai kueh. Neighbour get me 3 out of 4 flavours whic is turnip, yam and chives. Pumpkin chai kueh already sold out for the day. I like all three flavours! Will save their address as one of the must try list when my family visit me in KL next round. Apparently Deframe F&B not just selling chai kuey, they also have nyonya kuih, kaya puff and Malaiko. And yes, they are previously located in Taman Muda, Ampang before move to new location in Taman Rakyat. Thank you neighbour for the chai kuey and good recommendation! 

Victoria Sponge Cake~ Jaslyn Cakes Mont Kiara

After the Japanese style cafe open for business for less than 3 months and closed down (in 2019), Jaslyn cakes moves in and this small little place has been spotted with queues almost everyday due to there are only few tables for sitting, also operation hours from 9am to 7pm only. Now that Baskin Robbins also closed and moved out, Jaslyn Cakes is expanded with bigger spaces with many sittings and their kitchen also move here. Finally I give their cakes a try. First was carrot cake then today decided to try their Victoria sponge (last picture). Nice but price is a little bit on high side ~ RM19.95 for a slice of Victoria Sponge cake. Kind of spoil by the choice as they have tart, doughnuts, loaf, cookies, muffin, cream rolls etc. Next I will try their Pavlova~

A beautiful accidental discover on Easter Sunday~ KL city view from Bukit Tunku

After breakfast at Tengkat Tong Sin, driving around looking for coffee & dessert, drive drive drive... drive until Bukit Tunku. While going round the hills looking for The Stories of Bukit Tunku, a wrong turn leads us to this road which is all the way up but can't see what's at the end from the bottom. Continue drives up with no choice and make a u turn after reach the end which is another big bungalow is, the view in front of us surprises us! A beautiful accidentals discover on the Easter Sunday. Unlike the famous Changkat Tunku Lookout Point with unblock view of KL city skyscrapers, but crowded with people and cars or cyclist, no place to stop. Here, we can have see the Twin Towers views with nobody around. Not many car passed by as well. We shall come back here again next time for night view!

Fish ball noodles, Lor Mee & Chu Cheong Fun with YongTaFu~ YW Coffee Shop, Tengkat Tong Sin

Easter Sunday! Friend "jio" go breakfast at Tengkat Tong Sin~ at an old kopitiam next to the Alor backspace sign. Some people probably are here for the pork noodles based on the reviews. However friend likes the fish ball noodles and has been here many times in the past. We shared a curry chee cheong fun that has yong tau fu 'liao' to be choose. Also try the loh mee that friend recommended~ Come to think about it, it's been a long long time since I last had loh mee (in Penang) and I think this is my first time had loh mee in KL. After meal we driving around the surrounds to check out what's news and what is still around. As a hot commercial place adjacent with Changkat Bukit Bintang, this area has been rapidly change over the years. Many old houses turned into hype cafes, restaurants, bars, hotel, hostels.. Not sure how long will this old taste food kopitiam can last over here.. but at least I have been here and it is still around after covid pandemic hit.

Authentic Japanese Food~ Izakaya Niwa, Oasis Square, Ara Damansara

Back to KL - landed at Subang Airport as I am taking Firefly. It's off work peak hours, traffic is bad. Friend who pick me up search and find this nearby Izakaya with google reviews of 4.3 stars, we have dinner here while wait for traffic turn smoother. We could tell the place is Japanese owned as the Chef is Japanese. Since it's after working hours, there are Japanese patrons dine in and having beers. Just like MK, there are quite a numbers of Japanese living in Ara Damansara. We shared a chicken karaage, shime saba (cured mackerel), spinach sides, and omakase yakitori set of 5 (pork belly wrap with enoki mushrooms / chicken skin / chicken tail / chicken gizzard / grilled shiitake). Great place to chilled with beers and they have extensive range of alcoholic beverages. Too bad my friend needs to drive so we did not order any alcohol drinks. 

Samy Bak Kut Teh, Klang

Year 2022 first Bak kut teh trip in Klang. This should be my 4th Klang BKT in Klang after moved down to KL. Samy Bak Kut Teh (HQ) at Jalan Chan Ah Choo, Pandamaran is my friend's almost everyday must eat breakfast spot in the past when he is stationed in Klang. To be honest I don't have any preference on BKT as I find all of them taste good and never encounter a bad one so far. We order 3 layers pork, intestine and ribs. Their BKT broth is thick type as they claimed that they cook with the same amount and same ratio of meat and water. Sami have 12 outlets up to date including the newly open in Pavilion Bukit Jalil last year. You probably notice some of their branch name is "Samy & Tien" and "Samy & Min". Well, Tien and Min are the daughters of the founder. While Samy & Ah Her~ Ah Her is the other Klang well known BKT - Ah Her BKT. Due to Covid pandemic, Samy also launched instant ready to eat BKT besides the soup spices pack which can be purchase online as well. I bought some of the bkt soup spices for my family since I am going back hometown coming weekend.
