Gourmet Garden

This was our first KL Food Hunt with Ken from foodPOI.com during October last year. Since we have a bunch of back lock, so let us clear off some year 2008 article!

We started our first meal – breakfast with extremely spicy chili pan mee. Yes, you are right, is Chili Pan Mee! Our advice is DONT take the risk if you have gastric. Don’t consume extremely spicy food in the early morning, your stomach could burn your day ~

At first, Ken wish to bring us to Nippy Noodle at Kuchai Lama, but unfortunately we’ve make our way too early, as the restaurant operating hour is start from 11am onwards!

At the end, Ken brought us to this Restoran Super Kitchen “Chili Pan Mee”. We have posted this chili pan mee since last year November, to read more about this pan mee, you may click here.

First Stop

Super Kitchen Chili Pan Mee at Kuala Lumpur

It is a dry version of Pan Mee without the soup. The condiments are semi poach egg, minced pork meat, fried shallots and anchovies. The anchovies was toast rather than deep fried, as it doesnt have the oily feeling. The egg was poached to just the right consistency and firmness. As mentioned, it is chili pan mee, thus Chili is a “must add” condiment. but be caution! should taste the chili’s spicy level before you put another spoon into your noodle!

We find that the chili flake with chili oil in the bottle give a better taste and aroma to the noodle. After put the suitable chili amount into your pan mee, then mix everything together and start your adventure…

The crunchy anchovies and shallots gave the fragrant aroma, the mince meat has moist & meaty taste, and the creamy poach egg yoke moist up the noodles. The semi poach egg plays important rules for the chili pan mee, it is the catalyst to bind the chili on to the noodle strands. So, i would advice you don’t go for cooked egg.

First experience for this hot and spicy chili pan mee, very intersting. Both of us like it so much!

Second Stop

Peter’s Pork Noodle @ Brickfield

This Peter’s Pork Noodle is our all time favorite when we were in KL!

Pork Noodle similiar to Koay Teow Th’ng, but the different is the soup is made to order, depends on what condiment has added in your soup. You can go for pork mince meat, innards, intestine. They have varies of noodle to cater, such as koay teow, yellow noodle, vemicilli, bee thai bak and flour vemicili (mee suah). You can opt for an raw egg to enhance the level of the soup. What makes them so special is their soup base and crispy pork lard!

I like mine with bee thai bak, simply mince meats, pork liver and egg. Mee suah will be my second choice.

That was really wonderful combination. and dont stir the raw egg with the soup while you consuming, it would spoil the wonder. Leave it a side in your steaming hot soup while you enjoy the others. As the hot soup still poching the raw egg to semi cooked. That will be the good timing to enjoy it at last.

Second Stop

Moorthy’s Indian Rice @ Brickfield

This is another good indian stall to recommend under the same roof of the peter’s pork noodle. 

They are selling indian’s dishes and called Banana leaf.

Lamb rendang was so good, tender and flavourful.

Juicy and moist fried fish, you just cant resist it…

Due to we have to keep our stomach in high capacity for our next stop, so we just ordered the above 2. Actually should try their banana leaf, it worth the trip. oh ya, do order their papadam, its good!

The Peter’s Pork Noodle & Indian Rice Stall is all located in Money’s Corner:

Third Stop

Stew Rice @ Brickfield

Third stop would be the stew rice, it was few doors away from the money’s corner. i couldn’t remember the restaurant name, but actually we had enter this place before ken bring us there. My sister in-law is their regular during dinner, and we had tried their dishes twist. The Stew rice is just only available for the lunch. So, we give it a try since the name is something special.

Actually so called stew rice was made by stir fry meat and seafood with sauce and put in the bowl and top with rice, steam and serve.

To be frank, we was socked when we saw they using faded plastic bowl to served us. And no doubt that plastic bowl was came out straight from the hot steaming stove. WTF, which means this bowl of rice contains plastic and it would cause cancer! Ban those restauraner who didnt cares about human’s health!!!!

Our appetite was totally lost, and we just simply finished without enjoy it much! anyway, this stew rice was taste very normal & bland to me.

Adhoc Stop

Indian’s Snacks @ Brickfield

After the stew rice, while we walking back to catch our monorail, we smells the wonderful aroma from this indian’s snacks stall besides the pathway. 

So we stopped by and take a look. The friendly stall’s owner ask to sampling their food. Look, they have lots of varieties of deep frying snacks.

After sampling, we love this soft and moist vadei, taste mild and milky, end up we bought 4 pcs and its filled up to our brims, we almost wanna vomit….lol

Forth Stop

K.T.Z @ Low Yat Plaza

After that Vadei, we stop to consume anything from our mouth and start looking for washroom…haha. We got the train to low yat plaza for some IT shoppings.

Few hours gone and we make our last stop with ken at KTZ Dessert House just opposite the Low Yat Plaza.

Basically they serve chinese desserts. Here is the hot light ginger syrup Tang Yuan.  The Tang Yuan is quite springy and the filling is just nice, not too sweet, its really match the ginger syrup well. the hot syrup do warms up our stomach, it is a good winter dessert.

Ice Shaving with Mango & Sago. Sago coated with mango’s pureer and drench on top of the white shaving ice and decorate with big mango cube. Looks worth for the value isnt it?

Fifth Stop

Chinese Fine Dinning – Elegant Inn @ Kuala Lumpur

After ken’s drop us back to my sister in-law’s house, and we make our way to KL city. Thank you to my sister’s in-law to treat us such a good and expensive meal!

We had the opportunity to dine at this particular Cantonese Restaurant in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Elegant Inn. This restaurant is owned by E I Foods Sdn. Bhd. They have another unit, which is the main or original, at Taman Connaught in Cheras.

The one in Cheras , is just your typical restaurant, but don’t be fool by its appearance, it will cost an arm and a leg to eat there. It is no difference either here in KL, but the ambiance is a lot more classier and presentable. I remember one saying from a neighbour in KL, “Ngm Siek Tuck Dou Tai Tuck lah”. Easily translated to “although the food is not good, at least it is presentable”.

The KL restaurant is located in Menara Hap Seng on Jalan P.Ramlee. Quite near to Bukit Bintang. It’s location and view, gives it the only or at least one of the Chinese Restaurants with the best views in KL centre. And the ambiance in the restaurant is something to look forward for. It has a warm setting with some framed wood carvings on the wall, plush and soft carpet, well equipped function rooms (Big LCD Screen, DVD) with balcony and special place for the romantic couple.
