CNY Reunion Dinner 2017 at Shang Palace, Shangri-La Hotel KL

30th January 2017

As usual, our reunion dinner normally will be at hotel around KL. This year, I chose Shangri-La coz I want something different and special.

Thus, off we go to Shang's Palace. I booked through phone in advance, just in case to avoid fully book (surprisingly, not even half of the table occupied on that day).

Ambience: Nice although the table arrangement is quite near to one another. 

Service: Good, waiter & waitress is attentive but not over friendly.

Taste-wise: Our family did not like it. If I have to rate, it will be 1/5. Sorry, not to our liking. Perhaps we should order the CNY combo instead of a-la-carte. Read about the dimsum here is quite good, will consider to re-visit for dimsum I guess.

On that day, we ordered:-

Chicken roll (Small) - RM28.30
2/5 - too sweet too our liking

Steam Western Garoupa - RM289.88
1/5 - not fresh at all

5 pieces of large tiger prawn with XO Sauce - RM240.15 (served individually on plate)
4/5 - The XO sauce save the dish

Scallop with asparagus - RM120.07
5/5 - Nice

Spicy chicken - RM30.02
2/5 - so so

Braised towfoo - RM32.59
5/5 - Nice

Yong Chow Fried Rice with Scallop - RM113.21
1/5 - salty and the lousiest fried rice I ever had in Chinese restaurant, sorry, need to be honest here.

Papaya avocado with vanilla ice cream - RM15.44
4/5 - quite refreshing

Mango Pudding - RM10.29
3/5 - average pudding

Red Bean - RM7.72
3/5 - bit bitter

Overall cost for 5 pax = RM 1,114.00

Complementary bag with 2 mandarins inside :)

Makan Best Mee Sup Tengkera, Melaka

Xin Nian Kuai Le Ta Jia!

It has been a while since I decided to blog again. With the emerging of social media such as Instragram, blogging is not suitable for LAZY people like me, haha.

By the way, wanna share one makan place located in Tengkera Melaka. Chang2 really like the soup here though I am not a big fan.

Their specialty is definitely a bowl of soup where you are given a choice to opt for yellow nooedle (mee kuning), mee hoon or kuetiaw.

We always opt for yellow noodle.

Warning: For spicy lover, there is no hot kicap or cili padi here as only a bottle of white pepper & salt served here, just in case if you want to adjust the taste.

For me, it is enough already though sometimes it can be a bit salty. Well, people preferences can be different though. Plus, I love simple & plain soup that is why some local actually named this dish with Mee Sup Bodoh as taste-wise, it is quite plain.

To compliment our noodle is a glass of Air Mata Kucing . A refreshing taste especially to cover up the Malacca heat.

They are also offering popiah (I tried the fried version) just in case you are not a soup lover, I did not have the pic here but ok ok only in terms of taste, not the best popiah in town I must say but very fulfilling if you eat it.

So, if you are in Malacca and was looking for something simple, you can try Mee Sup Tengkera.

Mee Sup Tengkera
No 440B, Jalan Tengkera
75200 Melaka, Malaysia

Operating hours: from 2pm onwards and closed on Thursday (based on tips left in 4square)

Landmark - in front of the fruits stall, nearby Methodist Girls School) or just Waze Mi Sup Tengkera

I love to watch videos made by Aeris as she always include her son (now 2 sons) in her video. 

Currently, I have another good reason to watch her vids as not only she features Korean food & cooking skills, she in fact shows us the mixed cultural values between Korean & the Westerner. Oh, I love mixed marriage since I am one of them too..hehe..

My review is based on my personal point of view. Different people might have different view from mine. Hence, this review is for my blog purposes only ;). 

June 9, 2013

We ended my dearest bday with dinner at Serai Thai Restaurant, Sek 3 Shah Alam. It is actually a frequent best makan place for wo de jiaren.
I have always wanted Chang2 to try their steam fish as I love it. Luckily she loves it..hehe.. I forgot where is the receipt & price though,huhu.. but if I am not mistaken, total price is around RM100++ (less than RM150). Totally worth the price. Taste-wise: 4.8/5. I love it.

 Kailan with salted fish (Small)

 Claypot towfoo with lots of seafood (Small)

However, they did not use Japanese towfoo for this dish here, just the normal towfoo only

 My all time fav's - Chicken with dried chillies (Small)

 Steamed sea bass with lime sauce - RM40 (the only item that I can rber the price,haha)

 Another view for the hot & spicy steamed sea bass

Chang2's all time fav - Fried Squid (Medium)
