好饗廚房 homee KITCHEN @Taipei, Taiwan

Posted on 11 September 2023 by lendeliz

While waiting for our flight at the Taoyuan International Airport Terminal 1 Departure Area, we went to grab a bite.

The tea here was very refreshing, while the 三杯鸡套餐 Three Cup Chicken Rice Set was just alright. The 梅乾菜 (a kind of preserved vegetables made from mustard green) in the 梅乾扣肉套餐 Pork Belly and Hakka Preserved Cabbage Rice Set was really good. I finished one full bowl of white rice with it!

四川吳抄手 信義店 @Taipei, Taiwan

Posted on 9 September 2023 by lendeliz

After a rather strenuous hike up and down 象山 Elephant Mountain (the steep stairs were really quite a killer for the knees coming down, especially for my short legs!), our wobbly legs could not take us too far for dinner, and we decided to head back to A13 where we had earlier wanted to check out for lunch, but were too late.

We were unable to reserve seats, and were a bit sad to learn that the queue was at least an hour. Suddenly, they asked the group in front of us if they were willing to 拼桌 share table, which the group declined. The staff turned to us and we nodded our heads vigorously and were ushered in immediately! As we made our way in, we heard the earlier group enquire about sharing table, but there were no more… oops. It was 2 groups of 3 pax sharing a huge table that could fit 10 pax, so there were no concerns of mistaking our orders or eating the wrong item.

大稻埕魯肉飯 @Taipei, Taiwan

Posted on 8 September 2023 by lendeliz

First thing off the list when we reached Taipei was 大稻埕魯肉飯! We literally lugged our luggage over to grab dinner.

Ms K really enjoyed the 魯肉飯 Braised Pork Rice here. She said the soy sauce was very fragrant. and we were all wow-ed by the 腿庫飯 Pork Hock Rice. The 白菜滷 Braised White Cabbage was very well-braised too. The NT230 was very worth it!

We were lucky to make it here just before the dinner crowd arrived and didn’t have to queue. By the time we settled down, there was a long queue with quite a few takeaways.

Pekin Restaurant Johor Jaya 北京楼 @Johor Bahru, Malaysia

Posted on 22 May 2022 by lendeliz

Our last meal for the trip was at Pekin Restaurant 北京楼. There were quite a few outlets, and Dr K recommended this one.

A pity the peking duck was already sold out by the time we reached.

We settled for Roast Chicken 烧鸡 (half) instead, as well as Claypot Pork Ribs 砂煲排骨, Jade Beancurd 翡翠豆腐, Qing Long Vegetables 青龙菜 and Red Bean Paste Pancake 豆沙锅饼. Food was generally not bad, with a total cost of RM113.35.

Hoong Tho Restaurant 鸿图酒楼 @Ipoh, Malaysia

Posted on 21 May 2022 by lendeliz

Another recommendation by a local, this Horfun 滑蛋河 was delicious with a good punch of wok hei! The other item Pineapple Pig Stomach 黄梨猪肚 was also very yummy with the bouncy pig’s stomach. We also tried the Crispy Noodles, Fried Spring Roll, Fried Dumpling and Fishballs. Total cost was RM88.30, including drinks. Overall, an enjoyable dinner 🙂

Purple Cane Ipoh Tea House 怡保紫藤茶馆 @Ipoh, Malaysia

Posted on 20 May 2022 by lendeliz

We were strolling along when we chanced upon this place and ended up having a lovely tea-theme dinner. Each item had elements of different types of tea, and this was probably the best tea egg I have had in a very long time. Not only was it fragrant, the flavours were well-infused into the tea egg! They do sell the egg spices pack for making your own tea eggs back home, but being lazy us… the staff proceeded to share with us that they have outlets in JB too 😛

It was a lovely space for us to chill out and there was also a variety of products available for purchase.

Bulldog Malacca @Melaka, Malaysia

Posted on 19 May 2022 by lendeliz

We were very happy to find a new place to try out Peranakan food! Prior reservations were required as walk-in were discouraged, and we also placed our orders in advance, ahead of the trip. We loved the ambience here and had a great time here!

We tried the following:

  • Nyonya Pai Tee (RM15): The shell was impressively thin and crispy and not too oily.
  • Sambal Sotong with addition of Petai (RM25 + RM4): My absolute favourite! Hubby found it too spicy so I almost had the entire dish all to myself. It was so spicy, yet so addictive that I could not stop myself.
  • Nyonya Pongteh Chicken (RM10 for small): Gravy was good, chicken was tender. Very enjoyable!
  • Fried Brinjal (RM10): Oh how could anyone make brinjal SO juicy? This was simply awesome!
  • Jasmine Fragrance Steamed Rice (RM2): We shared one rice so that we could try out more dishes, lol!
  • Nyonya Cendol (RM7): After all the various spices, this was a lovely sweet ending.

Note that there was an additional 10% service charge.

正宗万里香沙爹朱律 Restaurant Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup @Melaka, Malaysia

Posted on 20 December 2019 by lendeliz

Another of our favourite foods when visiting Melaka would be satay celup. We recalled visiting here during our maiden trip to Melaka together, and thought to re-visit this place. It was fun dipping into the think satay sauce to cook our food and we enjoyed the variety of skewers available here.

Hong Sheng WTM 鸿昇云吞面 @Melaka, Malaysia

Posted on 19 December 2019 by lendeliz

After movie, we went to Hong Sheng Wanton Noodles 鸿昇云吞面. It was crowded at 8.30pm and we had to wait a while for seats.

We ordered 3 small bowls of Wanton Noodles (RM5, RM5.50, RM6 for small, medium and large). There was a signage that indicated we should order first before finding seats, but we did not as we were worried it might take a while to get seats…

We later realised that a good gauge could be to see how many bowls were stacked up as orders waiting to be filled. The noodles felt traditional and homely, giving this 古早味 feel. There was a slight alkaline taste to the noodles, which could be covered by adding chili sauce.

やきとり一番西大路花屋町店 Yakitori Ichiban Nishioji Hanayacho @京都 Kyoto, Japan

Posted on 13 October 2019 by lendeliz

Our last night in Japan, and we were still craving for yakitori, LOL! So while we were trying to find our way back to our lodging, we made a detour to have some very delicious skewers 😀

The menu came with pictures, and so all we did was point, wait and eat. Prices ranged from ¥90 to ¥400, with most items in the ¥100+ range. There was an additional cover charge of ¥220 per pax. We really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and friendly service! What a great way to end the night 🙂
