Restoran Anson Town Kopitiam @ Teluk Intan, Perak

Our Teluk Intan food adventure continues at Restoran Anson Town Kopitiam which is located inside the Anson Industrial Park. My aunty's plastic bottle factory is here and she told us that the food here are very nice. So we decided to go there for dinner. This time we had my aunty, grandma and Uncle Keong with us.

Restoran Anson Town Kopitiam @ Anson Industrial Park, Teluk Intan.

There are a lot of stalls here selling different kind of food. Got Chinese, Indian and Malay, macam 1Malaysia lah. :-P So it's a real headache to decide what to eat. After walking around the shop I finally decided to order Laksa Mee from one of the stalls. The Laksa Mee was good and the spiciness was just nice for me. :-)

My Laksa Mee @ RM3.30

My Orange Juice.

Dad and brother both ordered Char Kueh Teow. I tried some of my brother's one.. mmm.. not bad.. it'll be perfect if it was a bit more spicier. Mum shared some of brother's Char Kueh Teow as her stomach wasn't feeling that well.

Char Kueh Teow @ RM3.30. Damn big plate right??!

Uncle Keong ordered this Nasi Lemak Sambal Udang from the Indian stall and it looked very tempting.. but I didn't try it so I don't know how was it. As for grandma she had Roti Telur from the same Indian stall and my aunty had Konlo Mee.

Grandma's Roti Telur @ RM1. This is how you eat roti telur in Teluk Intan. With chopsticks! LOL!

Uncle Keong's Nasi Lemak Sambal Udang @ RM4.

Aunty's Konlo Mee @ RM3.

All those were individual portion. After we finish our food, Uncle Keong went and order 2 Grilled Fish (Ikan Bakar) and 20 sticks of Chicken Satay from the Malay stall. The ikan bakar was awesome! And that's coming from a person, me, that don't really like fish. The Chicken Satay was delicious too and with a lot of meat. The Satay gravy was a bit too watery though.. :-(

Grilled Chicken Fish

Grilled Stingray. Both fishes cost RM36.

Awesome grilled stingray!

20 sticks of Chicken Satay @ RM12. So it's 60 cents per stick.

The juicy and meaty chicken satay!

This is not a bad place to come for dinner actually. Great food, cheap prices. Thumbs up! ;-)

Pun Nam @ Teluk Intan, Perak

So the Teluk Intan food adventure begins here... :-D It was first day of Chinese New Year and my parents were deciding what to have for breakfast. Brother was still sleeping so 3 of us went out to Teluk Intan town and dad brought us to this shop called Pun Nam for Dim Sum. According to dad this shop has been around for a long long time and my late grandpa used to come here for breakfast.

Pun Nam @ Teluk Intan

When we stepped in to the shop I can see they are still using these old and heavy marble top tables and wooden chairs. This shop is classic and it was crowded!

A very classic shop.

Once we sat down the waitress already brought a tray of Dim Sum for us to choose. And here is what we ordered that day ...

One of the Dim Sum trays.

Fried Wan Tan.

Pai Guat Wong.

Yu Dan (Fish Balls).

Char Siew Mai.

Har Gao.

Siew Mai.

Sang Yuk Pau.

Look at the big chunk of meat stuffed inside the Sang Yuk Pau!

Char Siew Pau.

Char Siew Pau filling.

Lin Yung Pau (Lotus Seed Paste).

The Dim Sum here are very fresh and tasty! And most importantly.. it's damn CHEAP compared to KL or PJ! Other than Dim Sum and Paus they also make their own Shat Kek Ma, Hap Tou Sou and Egg Tarts. I personally love egg tarts but unfortunately the egg tarts were sold out that day. They must be very good... :-(

My Milo "bing" (Iced Milo) :-D

The total came up to RM28.90. I'm sure if we ate the same stuff in KL or PJ it will be much more than that. I'll definitely recommend you to come here for breakfast if you are around Teluk Intan.

Yik Mun @ Tanjung Malim, Perak

Before I share my food experience in Teluk Intan during Chinese New Year, here's a post on Yik Mun - The Famous Tanjung Malim Pau. This was actually unplanned as dad, the human "GPS", asked me, the driver, to take the Tanjung Malim exit and take the trunk road instead of exiting at Bidor.

Yik Mun - The Famous Tanjung Malim Pau

When we were stopping at the traffic light, dad pointed at a corner shop on the right and asked "Wanna eat pau? Very famous in Tanjung Malim." Obviously the brunch we had in New Asia Laksa wasn't enough for me and my brother, so we agreed.

Yik Mun

It was around 3 plus when we arrived and the shop was quite crowded as people were having their tea time. We ordered their famous Pau Kari Ayam (Chicken Curry Pau) and Pau Kacang (Peanut Pau). The paus were fresh and the curry filling was quite tasty! I ordered a can of Coke to share with my brother as the weather was very hot that day and my parents had their Kopi 'O' (Black Coffee).

The famous paus! Pau Kari Ayam @ RM1.70 and Pau Kacang @ RM1.40.

The bill total came up to RM11.80. The paus are not cheap judging by the size but this is a place I'll recommend to pay a visit if you're passing by Tanjung Malim.

The Pau Kari Ayam filling.

Here's a brief intro and history of Yik Mun taken from their website (don't play play, sell pau also got website ok! :-P):

Mention Yik Mun Restaurant in Tanjung Malim and will probably tell you that it serves the best Pau, Kaya, Toast, Mee Hainan and Chicken Chop in Perak. The restaurant located at the junction of the north-south trunk road, is always crowded with customers during breakfast and tea time. Kok Jek Ming, the third generation of the Kok family who is running the 83-year old business, said his grandfather started the business in 1926 after closing his coffee shop in Hainan Island, China.

Yik Mun specialties:

• The paus of course!
• Mee Hainan
• Roti Kahwin
• Chicken Chop
• Chicken Curry with Toasted Bread
• Prawn Steak
• Roasted Short Ribs (imported from Australia)

Mum didn't want her coffee to be too sweet, so she requested to add the sugar herself, and they gave her a cup of sugar. Kopi 'O' @ RM1.40

Apart from Tanjung Malim, Yik Mun has 3 other outlets in Hartamas Shopping Center (Kuala Lumpur), Fast Food Shop in Jaya Jusco (One Utama Shopping Center, Petaling Jaya) and the R&R Ulu Bernam PLUS Highway to Kuala Lumpur.

New Asia Laksa @ Oakland Commercial Square, Seremban

It was Chinese New Year eve and everyone was getting ready for their reunion dinner. Same goes to our family and we had to travel back to grandma's place in Teluk Intan. It was around 12 plus in the afternoon, we left our house and decided to go to Oakland Commercial Square to grab a quick brunch before we start our journey. Guess what? Yes.. all the Chinese shops that we wanted to go to were either closed or in the midst of closing.. >_<!!

Mum's mee hoon soup with fish paste.

Brother's dry thick noodles.

Brother showing off his wan tan and he got the last dumpling!

After driving a few rounds we decided to go to New Asia Laksa coz that's the only Chinese shop that's still open. So we sat down and was ready to order.. and when the waitress came to take our order she started with "sorry ah.. our laksa finish, hakka mee finish, wan tan mee finish, blah blah blah ... ". So without any other choices left, we had to settle for their mee hoon soup and dry thick noodles with dumplings and fish paste.

My dry thick noodles with a miserable vege.

... And a few miserable fish paste

As for our drinks, dad and I ordered iced Chinese tea, they ran out of coffee powder, so mum had to order Nescafe and brother had a cup of hot Milo.

Mum's Nescafe. She said it's too sweet. I think it's OK. :-P

Brother's hot Milo.

Me and dad's iced Chinese tea.

I can't really give a good review of this place since all the food was sold out. But I make it a point that no matter the food is bad or good, the place is nice or ugly, I'll still share them with all of you. :-) I'll be back to try the other stuff another day.

Picadilly @ Millennium Square, Section 14

When you mention about Picadilly, the first thing that comes to my mind would be their beer tower. They have the cheapest beer tower in town at only RM50++ for a Carlsberg tower and RM55++ for a Guinness Stout tower. Isn't that cheap?! Well.. I'm not gonna blog about the beer tower this time as I haven't taken any pictures of it yet. So.. more food.. :-D

Picadilly - Affordable Local to global Cuisine

And not forgetting the amount of LCD TVs mounted on the wall. A perfect place to watch live football games as well! Actually there are 2 different restaurants here. One is called Picadilly, and the other one is called Bangkok Masala, both with the same owner. They have an extensive menu and I bet you will have a hard time deciding what to order when you open up the menu. They serve local, Thai, Chinese, North Indian, Japanese and Western cuisines. The prices of the food and drinks here are very reasonable too.

Tom Yam Seafood Noodles - Your choice of noodles in hot and spicy Tom Yam soup with prawn, squid and fish (fish cake) @ RM5.90

The most recent visit to Picadilly, Boo Boo ordered their Tom Yam Seafood Noodles. Boo Boo said that the one she had this time was not as good as the previous one and I agree with that. The soup wasn't that spicy this time.

Sizzling Beef Yee Mee - Yee Mee on a hotplate with sliced mushroom, cauliflower, cabbage and beef @ RM6.90

As for myself, I ordered their Sizzling Beef Yee Mee. Overall it was OK but I've had better sizzling yee mee and I would suggest that they put in more Chinese mushrooms. It just doesn't taste so right without them when you eat sizzling yee mee. And oh.. talking about sizzling, I noticed that a lot of people actually order their sizzling western food. I guess they must be good. Gotta try one day.

Picadilly - Look at the number of TVs inside the restaurant

As for drinks, 99% of the time me and Boo Boo will share 1 drink. This time we ordered honey lemon (cold). This is the best honey lemon I ever had. If you feel sleepy and you need something to keep you awake, order this, take a sip and I guarantee you will be awake. This is super SOUR!

Honey Lemon cold @ RM3.00

Our bill this time came up to RM17.40. Not a great meal but still it's satisfying.

Hainan Tea @ SS2, Petaling Jaya

Hello everybody! How are you guys doing? :-) It's time to talk about food again! Our next stop ... Hainan Tea at SS2, Petaling Jaya. This is their 3rd outlet after two other outlets in Low Yat Plaza. They just opened another branch in Puchong recently.

Hainan Tea   -   where we meet

This is me and Boo Boo's .. errr.. forgot how many times we've been here.. :-P But we visit this place quite often during my off days and Boo Boo's lunch break.. All because of their Weekday Promo. This promo starts from 12pm - 2pm for lunch and 6pm - 9pm for dinner, Monday to Friday, and it's priced at RM2.90. Very affordable!

Weekday Promo   -   Nasi Lemak (Monday) @ RM2.90

Here's what they serve for the Weekday Promo:

Monday          -          Nasi Lemak                                     
Tuesday           -          Cheong Fun Delight
Wednesday     -          Chicken Shredded Hor Fun Dry    
Thursday          -          Just Mee Goreng Tom Yam
Friday              -          Chicken Shredded Hor Fun Soup   

Weekday Promo   -   Just Mee Goreng Tom Yam (Thursday) @ RM2.90

Apart from the Weekday Promo, Boo Boo and I will always order their special 3 Layer Hainan Toast. You can choose between the normal toast and brown toast. We always go for the normal one because we think that's nicer.

Nasi Lemak   -   rice steamed with coconut milk served with fried egg, roasted peanuts, ikan bilis (anchovies), sambal (spicy sauce) and sliced cucumbers

Brown Toast - Think of brown toasts and Hainan Tea comes to mind. Our method of toasting the hot, crusty bread brings out the aromatic and tasty caramel to golden brown perfection. Savouring it with melting butter, peanut spread or just the brown toast alone, you'll never forget the first bite.     ~   from the Hainan Tea menu   ~

Just Mee Goreng Tom Yam   -   fried noodle in Tom Yam flavor and served with fried egg and sausage

The coffee and tea served here are quite awesome too. They are not too sweet and not too diluted either. Just nice. The only thing about their drinks is, we think they are a bit expensive compared to other cafes or kopitiams. So far the best drink I've tried here is the Hazelnut Coffee.

3 Layer Toast   -   3 layer of toasted bread spread with melted butter, peanut butter and kaya @ RM3.50

Hainan Original Tea - Hainan Tea offers premium quality selected coffee beans blended with the unique Hainanese art of brewing coffee, resulting in its distinguished aromatic fragrance and taste. As we move with the times to engage high-tech equipments for coffee making, rest assured the traditional taste of the well-loved Hainanese coffee is preserved to the last sip.     ~   from the Hainan Tea menu   ~ 

Hainan Tea (cold) @ RM3.90

We've never pay anything more than RM20 for two people when we dine here. The bill (2 Weekday Promo, 1 Hainan 3 Layer Toast and 1 cold Hainan Tea) for our latest visit was only RM14.50. Check out the Hainan Tea Facebook page for more promotions.
