Lunch at Hua Mui

Brought friends to have lunch in Hua Mui last Sunday. This round I didn't order the chicken chop. Instead, I ordered a Kumpong Fried Rice. Not bad, it fried with chicken and ikan billis... and ....... spicy. The other plate (upper one) is Hua Mui Fried Rice..... just a normal fried rice with sausage

New feature in MRT

Saw this new feature in some of the new MRT. It lets you know which station is the train will be stopping at and which side of the door will be open.

This is not a new thing, Hong Kong MTR has already installed this system many years back.

Bag....... AGAIN!

今天闲来无事到处逛逛，又不觉中买了一个包包............ 嘻嘻！受不了引诱.........

Found this bag and the design is unique. Despite I have several bags.... stilll can't resist it.........

New discovery from Bangkok

Found 2 new interesting food/snack during my recent visit in Bangkok:-

Bael Fruit Tea (Matoom Tea)

After a massage session, I was served with this tea. It has a bit of coconut taste. The taste was quite pleasant that decided to buy some back.

Managed to find the tea in supermarket. It come in 2 forms:- an instant tea mixed type. Simply pour water to the mixture and you get the tea.
While the other is it's dried fruit. Cook the dried fruit as like you boiling 凉茶. Add sugar once tea is boiling. Cook it a bit longer time as to let the fruit release it's smell. Drain out the fruit and you still can cook it for another time except that the smell of the tea will be mild.

Tum Yum flavoured Chestnut
I had the Tum Yum peanunt before but not the Chestnut. It is not so spicy but with strong Thai herb taste especially the Kaffir leave. In it, there are also Garlic, Sesame, Lemongrass and Chilli Padi.

It's yummy..........

Luk Luk

Found this mobile food van parking opposite Taman Sri Terbau Hawkers Centre. The van is selling 'Luk Luk'.

'Luk Luk' hardly can be found in Sg.
What is 'Luk Luk'?
It is a simplified version of steam boat. So that if you just want to have a quick bite, pick up the items (fish ball, fish cake, veg, tofu, chicken meat.... etc) that you like, soak them into a pot of boiling clear soup. Take it out once the food is cooked and dipped into the necessary sauce. Mainly, those food items are skewed and you just pay according to the number of stick that you had consumed. Different colored stick represent different price.

My most memorable 'Luk Luk' is in Malacca. It is called 'Satay Cheh Luk'. Instead cooking with a clear soup, the skewed food is dipped into satay gravy to cook.... mmm yum, yum.

The well known Hainanese Chicken Chop in JB

Hua Mui Restaurant in JB had been introduced by some of the bloggers and highly recommended in some food magazines.

I ordered their signature dishes - Hainanese Chicken Chop.

The food is served as shown in the picture. The presentation of the dish is simple.

Once I took the first bite....... Wooow..... the outer skin is crispy and the meat still remain juicy inside. In fact, I'm not a fan of chicken chop.... but this may have changed my mind........

Mr Baoz 包子先生

Get to know Mr Baoz from a Taiwanese Talk Show. At that time, so envy the Taiwanese able to enjoy such adorable food (each bun looking lovely). When I saw the "Mr Baoz is coming soon" sign board at City Square in JB, I was so excited. The shop finally opened two weeks ago. Today, I get my hand on it.

I bought 2 half dozens sets:

1st selection flavours : Sweet & Sour Fish, Viennese Cheese, Curry Chicken, Tri Star Squid, Crispy Fruits & Butter and Taro Custard Chocolate.

2nd Set Flavours : Sweet & Sour Fish, Viennese Cheese, Curry Chicken, Tri-Star Squid Roll, Strawberry Chocolate Roll, Black Diamond Chocolate Roll. (Hope Tom and Meg like the selection)

Checked the Taiwan Mr Baoz website, there are pork baoz (滷香豬肉包,中式叉燒包,五更腸旺包). I believed as to cater to the Muslim group in Malaysia, the pork baoz is removed from the series. Taiwan Mr Baoz is promoting a new series - Hamburger type of baoz.
