不見不散 (Pat Kin Pat San) Cafe, Setia City Mall @ Shah Alam

Break time again!
Well, seriously there's not much cafe/restaurants to patron in the mall itself...
Due to the PRICING.

Be real, normally if we want to dine in restaurant/cafe will be the time we go for shopping or chillexing....
And sometimes, it does make us feel bored as we not sure what to eat.....
So, last week, my Skinny and me went over this Pat Kin Pat San cafe....(that was the first time I went)
While browsing through the menu only I realized is something like the Kim Gary and Wong Kok concept...
Just that this concept... more lively as in ORANGE colour compares to the other 2 darker side.

I ordered their egg tarts for a try (looks good at the pastries display)....

Was not too bad, it's not "thick" as in one bite will finish the whole piece...
The crumb was soft too, not too dried up either.

Due to I was having hangover a night before...
I wanted something spicy and sour and was noisy about having tomyum soup.....
Surprisingly they do serve here....


Seafood tomyum...
Filled up with fish fillet and few pieces of squid, I forgot if there's prawns...
The taste of the spoon was just nice... not too sour not too spicy...
Quite appetizing too.

I ordered Yong Chow Fried Rice as the main...
I only like Yong Chow Fried Rice with Char Siu...
There were few times I ordered (somewhere out there)....
They served with lap cheong (Chinese Sausage) instead.... I totally not into lap cheong... and that's the reason why I do not order any Yong Chow Fried Rice in KL....
Till I found out that, they do served with Char Siu in most of the stalls (well, I guess I went to the wrong place then....)
Right, back to this fried rice.....
Well, it's just normal fried rice to me... with dried up char siu.... edible....

For  my Skinny companion... not too sure the name of her fried rice...
She told me she ordered Luncheon Meat Fried Rice...
Out of curiosity, I took a bite at the meat...
Well.... it's sort of like those stewed pork instead.
Not too keen with it.

Hmmm..... PAT KIN PAT SAN... YAT KIN JAU SAN.

PRICE: RM35

Price Range: RM4 - RM15
Good For: Quick meal...
Bad For: ....nothing special... seriously.

Restoran Chuan Kie, Gohtong Jaya @ Genting

After the fast(est) tour to Genting Highlands....
...due to we were starving actually....
Eventually I wanted to go to the Kampung Bukit Tinggi... but due to was about 6plus...
I not sure whether they still open for business.
We decided to head down back to Gohtong Jaya for dinner instead.

I read in other reviews that this Restaurant Chuan Kie had quite a good deal...
And since it received not bad review, we went for a try.

According to other foodies... they review that the Crispy Pork Belly is a must try....
We ordered.
Then came the server.... mistakenly placed a plate of crispy pork belly which is size (BIG)...
We got surprised as it's a lot...
Till he "changed" his hand... handed the actual plate to us....
Ok, that was more surprising... portion seriously quarter of the LARGE size.

Well, as a pork larver (ME).....
I don't really enjoy this dish much....
Yes, it's crispy and sticky.
I believe they cooked with marmite gravy, its's sweet just that I do not keen with the texture...
I prefer something softy (FAT) and meaty.
However, this dish I think most properly goes well with BEER. REALLY.

They serve fishes.... pretty expensive fish too.
Soon Hock cost RM15/100gm, Patin Hitam at RM13/100gm...
We settled with Talapia cost RM3/100gm!
Teochew style steamed Talapia fish....
The Talapia does have lots of meat though (well fed I guess)...
Steamed well with the pickled vegetables, black fungus, carrot, tofu...
However the fish got the smell of "muddy"  which we need to eat if chilli padi to kill off the taste.
The portion of the fish was pretty "generous"... too much to handle.

While we were freezing up in Genting Highlands...
Dumpty did mentioned she wanted soup... (she was wearing EXTREME short pants)
So since they do serve "sai yeung choy" - Watercress we ordered that.
And came........
This was the first time I had this type of cooking for "sai yeung choy soup.
Normally, it served either boiled for hours or herbal....
This type more to like instant style....
Lucky enough, it taste good.
Well... weird, yet good.... just that bit salty (according to Dumpty)
Maybe I should try to make this type of soup... soon.

Averagely, this is not a bad restaurant....
Good to try out as well.


I was not sure how much the price till I got to SMS Dumpty how much she paid.
I'm amazed.


PRICE: RM50 (ok ma...)

Price Range: RM5 - RM (depends the weight of the fishes)
Good For: Cheap food at the middle of the highland.....
Bad For: Talapia smells muddy.....

Fatboys, Publika @ Solaris Dutamas

PORK!
How could I resist for trying out PORK...burger?

Well, my foodie buddie told me that she tried once before and would love to come back for more...

So, last Sunday I crashed in her meet up with her friend... (so that I could get my hands on the burger)....
**It was actually packed up, we headed somewhere else... but ended up we went back to the shop as that's what we wanted!**

Located at Publika, Solaris Dutamas...
Next to Plan B. (I haven't crash in there yet though....)

FATBOYS - THE BURGER BAR ... that's the place it's called.
Well, don't be surprised if you saw a guy with the same size (just that with hair).....
They have very interesting menu (as in funny names given for their food)....
I choose The Wimpy (which consist of pork patty and egg) and Dumpty choose pork sausage with mashed potato, both for sharing.



We waited for more than 30mins for our orders to come.... we even had to share our table with family of 6 which we don't really mind over that....
But what surprised me was.... they were arrived least 20mins after us (after our ordered...)
... after our food arrived, theirs arrived too..... kidding me?

Well, let's talk about the food then:-
THE WIMPY
I would say the pork patty is tendered and not dried up and yet not too juicy ...
...soft, if  I could describe it exactly.
Was amazed with the fries as it's not cut as the usual size that we seen out there.... it's like 3x the size?
And the size it's not too huge (they have a bigger size named, FAT BASTERD)



Well, the one that disappointed us the most was the sausage....
BANGERS AND MASHED
Well, presentation is an A+....
Till we got our forks and knives..... and indulged it....
I was the one to cut it... well, the meat was soft, but not the "rubber" (what the thing call anyways?)...

It was tasteless for the meat, even with the sauce... it just don't blends well.
Seriously.... does it supposed to taste like that?

Gulped it off with Iced Lemon Tea...
Not too sour, not too sweet... not too really lemon tea to me.

It's a better choice to go over during weekdays I guess.... (if you don't want to share table with strangers...)
We'll go over again, to try out other things... (you can't be enemy with PIG)
Hope it won't disappoint us again!


PRICE: RM 66

Price Range: RM5 - RM30
