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.

Pastel de Nata~ Bartolo Lisboa Bakehouse, Central Market

After Carey Island trip, on the way home, I got myself some Pastel de Nata (Portuguese tarts) from Bartola Lisboa Bakehouse as my little birthday cake. I've notice about them from IG when they are about to open for business around last year Sept. I would say this is nothing like the usual Portuguese tarts that I've tasted before (whether in Malaysia or Overseas). The crunchy crust with sweet and creamy custard filling that taste like coconut for me but later I found out its actually cinnamon and vanilla (possible) is used in the  traditional recipe. Recommend to give a try and you will know what I mean. The cozy portugese bakery is located at the back of Central Market, at the first floor. I will be back someday for their other food no just the pastry next time.
