Slow walk at TTDI Park & Penang Prawn Mee~ New Yong Len Coffeeshop, TTDI

Feels a little burned out. Decided to take things slow and go for a morning date with bestie. After drop off her daughter to school, we went to TTDI Park for a leisure walk~ a slow one, just half of my usual speed so I barely sweat. TTDI park still as beautiful as my first time visit. Some tree leaves turn red resembled autumn foliage, too bad my iPhone camera can't capture the redness and the feel. After the walk we went to New Yong Len~ a nearby coffeeshop for the must eat Penang Prawn Mee~ and not forget to buy home the Ampang famous Teow Chew Chai Kueh (should be Cheras famous Teow chew chai keuh now since they've moved to Cheras). And that's not the end of our dating, we also stop by nursery to get ourselves plants too and I will be blog in another separate post later.

Huen Kee Claypot Chicken Rice, Pudu

Happily indulge with my kind of Claypot chicken rice this afternoon. The rice is well seasoning with soy sauce marinade and love the slightly burn yet crispy dark dark scorched rice at the bottom of the claypot. Yeah, I really love foods that made of soy sauce based. Huen Kee Claypot Chicken Rice is recently awarded as Michelin Bib Gourmand. Friend bought me here not because of the Michelin title, it is because of I wanted to try those old established and well known claypot chicken rice around in Klang valley. We shared a large claypot chicken rice, a small pig stomach peppery soup and also added an extra salted fish since my friend loves salted fish. Now it is Ramadan, less traffic on the road during lunchtime peak hours so it's a good time to drive to Pudu for lunch. So blessed to be able to enjoy nice claypot chicken rice again and also blessed to have a foodie friend to enjoy the food (or fight for the food) together hehe.

BHC Chicken, 163 Retail Park, Mont Kiara

When BHC newly open in Nov 2022 in 163 Retail Park. I've already give a try of their Bburinkle & Hot Bburinkle half & half combo - one of their signature flavours with crunchy crispy fried chicken coated with cheesy veggie flavour seasoning. At that time they only have limited selection~ the Bburinkle series or Retro (classic style) where u can choose spicy or non spicy version. Now happy to see that they have more choices in their menu! It's my belated birthday treat lunch from brother today. So four of us including my parents who just arrived in KL to celebrate CNY with us happily enjoy BHC chickens as our late lunch~ Padak and Macho cheesedak with red king sauce.

It's been more than 8 or 9 years since I last eaten BHC chicken in Korea, but I can tell BHC Chicken in Malaysia is very similar with the BHC Chicken I ate in Korea. Price wise, nowadays it cost RM80 after tax for a whole chicken (3-4 servings average). Sincerely hope they will stay longer in the market, don't get disappear from 163 like Nene (now left only 1 outlet in Wangsa Walk); and the BBQ Chicken that used to be my favourite since they opened in 2008 in Penang (now still have 2 outlets in KL).

My first Danish meal~ DenHygge, Empire Damansara

I thought I will be alone spending my CNY eve as my family members only arrive tomorrow's noon to spend CNY with me in KL. Didn't expect I got a last minute lunch date with Danish food, what a pleasant surprise. It's my first time try out Danish food at this cozy and homey feel 'DenHygge' runs and owns by a friendly Danish native chef & his Russian wife. Friend and I go for the Special CNY Plate where we can taste many variations in one plate. Gravlax (cured salmon) with Fox Sauce; hard boiled egg with a spread of mayo topped with shrimps & caviar; roast beef with pickled mayo & fried onion; fried fish fillet with pickled mayo; fried pork belly (similar to Siu-yuk) with pickled cucumber & red cabbage; and pork liver pate with pickled cucumber & fried bacon is my favourite among all and it taste like spam. Rugbrød - the Danish rye bread that served with butter can be really filling with just 1 to 2 slices. We enjoy the plate with a glass of Upside Down Sauvignon Blanc, also enjoy our after meal black coffee.
