Tong Pak Fu @ Sunway Giza

Since we had only one slice of layer cake from Dreamz Bakery, we had our third round at Tong Pak Fu, a newly opened dessert shop from all the way from Hongkong in Sunway Giza! :D Yes, we girls sure have huge tummy to satisfy HEH The week before, the boyf's mum actually recommended me Tong Pak Fu after her first try out at KLCC.

The bright orange counter was the first thing that caught my attention. The shop is a tad small but cosy, furnished by white stools and colourful hexagon shaped tables. There were a few tables outdoors too. They serve a varieties of desserts ranging from traditional hot desserts, double boiled to scrumptious cold icy  desserts!
They even have bright orange menu!

I guess the title says it all (:


Red Bean Cream (红豆沙) @ RM4.80

Black Sesame Cream (芝麻湖)@ RM5.80
The smell of it was strong enough that I can smell it although I was sitting quite a distance from Elin. Thick in texture and rich in flavour.

Crystal Pearls with Mango Topping and Milk Snow Ice (芒果水晶牛奶冰)  @  RM7.80
Perfect for an occasional craving for any sweet tooth who enjoys icy cold dessert. Soft shaved ice that melts immediately in my mouth, I like! (ˆڡˆ) 
Besides fresh mango cubes, there were these sweet chewy crystal pearls or known as sago as well. I would definitely come back for this! :D I only realised they have a new release after I order this milk snow ice; Matcha Green Tea Snow Ice!! I'd give that a try too on my next visit.
Beancurd Skin with Egg Sweet Soup (腐竹蛋糖水) @ RM5.80
Glutinous Rice Balls with Syrup (糖不甩) @ RM4.80
Since I didn't get to eat any glutinous rice balls the last Winter Solstice Festival, I decided to have some. It was chewy but too bad they mixed the peanut powder with grounded black sesame. God knows how much I utterly dislike sesame, so I would prefer if they have separate peanut powder. 

By the look of Elin's face, I suppose the dessert was yummylicious! (Y)
Just another of our usual girls' night out <3

Dreamz Bakery @ The Strand, Kota Damansara

After the dinner, we headed to Dreamz Bakery just to try out their layer cake. Elin has been talking about this bakery for quite some time! Sadly by the time we got there, they were not taking any order alrdy but after much persuasion, we only managed to order one layer cake to share.
Cute signboard but truthfully it's a bit hard to notice. 

Decorations at the ground floor. Love how they use polaroids and chalkboard! 
Cake pops @ RM4.90 

Doesn't these candies remind you of childhood? #childhoodmemories

More cute stuff ^__^

Pretty porcelain floral printed teacups and saucers (: 

Indeed a cosy and nicely decorated place where most of the girls will fancy! 

Super love this corner of the bakery  ( ̄︶ ̄) 
You can write anything on the small cardboard provided and clip it on to the net! 

A variety of drinks available; Latte, tea or me? :P

Even the 'Toilet' signboard is so cute! This way, please *points to the left*

As you can even the walls are decorated with drawings! It's quite a suitable place for a random chill-out or a date (; 
They also have one room for those who come in big group in case they were too loud to handle HEH
The kitchen and counter area. 
They sell macarons and tiramisu as well. Full menu HERE

Guess what, they have Hello Kitty almond cookies!! ♥ 

Hello Kitty deserves another close up shot TEEHEE 
Tiramisu layer cake @ RM8.90

It looks like mille crepe but I'm not sure why they call it layer cake. The size of the cake was smaller than Nadeje's but their cake's texture is softer and fluffier. Flavour wise still acceptable for me (: 



I guess I blog too much about the place rather than their desserts :P Definitely will come back some other time with the lovelies to try out the other desserts! 
HEHEHE #allthethings.jpg

DAORAE Korean BBQ Restaurant

Harro! This post is one hella outdated post, way back to the first day of 2012. Yeap, went for a food adventure with the lovelies as our New Year celebration.

I suggested Korean BBQ for dinner cause I was craving for it and we settled at Kota Damansara's Doarae cause it's nearer for us.  Despite the fact that it was quite crowded by the time we were there, the service was still fast. It's still advisable to go earlier before 8pm or else you'll have to wait for quite some time.
Up up here we go to the 3rd floor (:

Ze menu.

One set of dining utensils for each and everyone.

Random shot of the Christmas tree (:

Built in grills with long exhaust chute on every table. 

Condiments to go along with the meat that will be wrapped with lettuce. Doenjang (Korean Fermented Soy Bean Paste) on the left and some sweet sauce on the right. 

Refillable lettuce to wrap your BBQ meat. 

Hanbang Samkyup-Sal (RM30); Thin slices of belly pork marinated with special Korean Ginseng and herb extract. 

Wang Gal-bi (RM58); Choice beef short rib specially hand filleted marinated in their heavenly sweet soy sauce.  

All the grilling and BBQ-ing will be done by the waiter so all you have to do is sit back and relax #likeaboss

It's almost doneeeeee, can you hear it sizzle :P 

A variety of bachan (side dishes) that invariably comes as complimentary if you order their BBQ dishes, and it's normally allowed for refilling! (Y) I like the one with macaroni, can't have enough of it :9 

Dolsot Bimbimbab (RM20); A rich layering of fresh and seasoned vegetables, served in steaming hot stone bowl  over a bed of steamed rice topped with a fried egg. It's usually served with Korean chili paste separately. The waiter was kind enough to mix it up for us after adding in the amount of chili paste we wanted. I find this bimbimbab a tad too dry and most of the rice sticked to the side of the bowl. 
The meat was nicely cut by the waiter as well. Where to get such good service, you tell me?

Ordered Kimchi Jjigae too, a must order everytime I have korean food :D A spicy combination of belly pork,  kimchi and tofu in a rich kimchi soup is just perfecto! Sadly their kimchi jjigae isn't as good as the one from KimchiHaru and Haeun Khon Restaurant.
A popular way to eat Korean BBQ would be wrapping small slice of meat with lettuce and add on those condiments provided, just that easy (:

I read a lot of reviews claiming that their food was just so-so and their quality has dropped but it's fine to me, especially their friendly service (: This is my second time trying Korean BBQ, so I couldn't really tell if it's good or bad but I shall definitely try Korean BBQ in Ampang's Korean Village one day. The bill came up to RM130++ inclusive of the 10% service charge for 4pax, slightly pricey for me.

Fret not if you can't go all to Kota Damansara for Daorae's BBQ cause they have 9 other branches even in Penang, Ipoh and Malacca! There's even one opening soon in SS2 :D

So guess where we went after the dinner for round 2? Stay tuned to find out..

Restoran Bubur Goreng @ Berkeley Garden Klang

Have anyone heard of the famous Bubur Goreng (read: fried porridge)? As ludicrous as it sounds, you may think to yourself how on earth can porridge be fried? I was in Berkeley once last year on one fine night, hunting for durians until I saw this restaurant and told my sister about it. In chinese, it is written 朝洲炒粥 which means Teo Chew Fried Porridge. I'm a Teo Chew myself and I've never heard of fried porridge before, absolutely have no idea it's something related to Teo Chew. So when the parents and Megan came over last December, the sister and her bf decided to bring all of us to try out.

We were there around 9-ish yet the place was still packed with patrons of all age having dinner, late dinner I supposed. The lady boss came and took orders, recommended few of their signature dishes and adjusted the portions accordingly to us. Most of their dishes comes only in one size, so it's advisable to come in a larger group so that you can order more and try out more of their dishes.
Fried meatballs @ RM10.
These bite sized treats are simply irresistible, crispy on the outside, tender in the inside. 
So this is the fried porridge that I've been mentioning; looks like ordinary porridge mixed with soya sauce, no? Comes only in one size @ RM12. Even the six of us can't finish this one big bowl of it. 
This fried porridge is cooked with rich dark sauce, dried shrimps, minced pork, diced yam and tofu and topped with sinful crispy pork lards. Indeed a pot of flavourful goodness, yet I only manage to have a bowl of it.

The highlight of the night would be..... *drum rolls*
Fried mee hoon with four huge crabs!!!! This dish here, my friend  that steals the limelight of the fried porridge is to die for. This dish is a common sight on almost every table. At first, we were thinking that it would troublesome with the meehoon all entangled with the crabs and all but I tell you it's all worth it. 
The crabs were fresh, juicy and meaty, one of the best I've eaten before. FINGER LICKING GOOD, I. KID. YOU. NOT.
It was so good that all of us walloped this dish till the plate is squeaky clean. The meehoon isn't oily and the taste of it was perfect to my liking. I would definitely come back for this some day!
No crackers available but they gave us these cute tiny hammers upon request.
Their signature green chili sambal is the BOMB!! 
The bill came up to RM100++ for 5 adults and one kid inclusive of drinks, with the crab mee hoon as the most expensive dish of the meal but I guess it's worth every single cent you pay. A satisfying and definitely fulfilling meal, I bet everyone's tummy was happy after the meal especially mine, been wanting to eat crabs for quite some time.

Besides that, some of their other signature dishes would be Fried meehoon with Mantis Prawns, Sreamed Egg with Mantis Prawns, Steamed (Siong Tong) Lala and Hokkien Mee. 
Besides the oh-so-famous Klang Bak Kut Teh, Klang serves the best fried porridge and fried meehoon with crabs as well!
