HYT Espresso Chestnut Mooncake (喜月堂咖啡栗子月饼)

A colleague of mine brought me the HYT mooncake brochure to see whether I'm interested in buying mooncakes or not. He's very nice, trying to help his mum to get some sales. After browsing through the brochure, I decided to buy one from him (my family doesn't like mooncake, if I buy more, I'll be the one who need to finish all!! :p).

For those who knows me, you guys should know I LOVE coffee... that's why I chose this...

HYT Espresso Chestnut Mooncake (喜月堂咖啡栗子月饼),
RM 11.70

smells nice..when I removed the package..

the yellow part is not egg yolk..not sure what is it,
but it taste like condensed milk.. :p

Hmm, the mooncake doesn't have much coffee taste and it's quite sweet, have you guys tried other brands' coffee mooncake, is it better? I prefer less sweet one...

DAP's Rocket United Cafe @ SS2, PJ

I came across this cafe while I was blog surfing. Hmmm, kopitiam is really "hot" nowadays, even DAP decided to open one? Interesting, a political cafe where you can drink coffee, suft net, chit chat, read political magazines and even sign up as a voter!! Not bad hor...

So few days ago, FL and I decided to go try it out, to have our dinner there. We actually had a hard time trying to find this place, we go round and round SS2 and when we finally decided to give up, we saw the cafe!! hehe...

Rocket United Cafe
situated opposite the 'wai sek gai', same row with 'gei dak sek'.

they served all kinds of coffee,
from ipoh, from penang, sabah, melaka, muar,
indonesia, vietnam and etc etc..

As for food, there are nasi lemak (as usual), chicken rice, and the special one is the nyonya rice which I don't think you can get at other kopitiam. Besides rice, there's noodles too, chicken hor fun, tom yam, and also snacks such as popiah, fish ball, fries and etc. Of cos, kaya butter toasts are available too...

drinks..
once you've decided what to eat,
you placed your orders here...

food..

FL's Ice Chek Hup White Coffee, RM 4.90
well, it's tasteless....

teh tarik, RM 3.90
I decided to play safe and ordered teh tarik. hehe...
not bad lar.. very big mug...

FL's Nyonya Rice Rendang Chicken, RM 8.90
Hmm, this looks good and special..the blue color rice, the huge and yummy rendang chicken..taste not bad...

My Nasi Lemak Sambal Sotong, RM 8.90
this one just so so,
sambal sotong tasteless where else
the nasi lemak's sambal is too salty..

There's no service charge/gov tax added to our bill. I should say the food and drinks there are ok, it's probably better than some other kopitiams out there but I think they should improved on their service cos it's actually quite slow. Somehow they don't served ppl based on first come first serve.. Cos we placed our order first but then the other two tables got their drinks and food first..

Besides that, it's quite dark in there, and one thing which I don't really like is there are A LOT of mosquitoes!! I can even see mosquitoes (4 to 5) flying above everyone's head!! How to read/chit chat there when mosquitoes keep attacking u?

Will I visit the place again? Well, maybe.. when there are no more mosquitoes ... hehe....

Not so stinky Stinky Tofu @ JiuFen Taiwan (臭豆腐@九份台湾)

I've always wanted to try stinky toufu cos I can't seems to understand why ppl will like such smelly food. Some friends told me the smell and the taste is totally two different thing. That is why I told myself, die die also must try when I went to Hong Kong last year. But at the end, I didn't try also, why? Cos it's toooooo smelly till I don't even dare to go near it, not to mention putting it into my mouth. hehe...

Although I didn't get to try it in Hong Kong, I did try it for the very first time in Taiwan!! and yes, it's delicious!! But one thing is, it's not smelly at all, so maybe this was not the original smelly toufu?

I still remembered when we passed by the stall, I asked FL, ei, what is this? looks nice.. Then FL looked up and told me, hey, this is stinky toufu leh.. and my first reaction was, har? why not smelly one? let's go try it!! hahahahahaaha...

looks nice right?

the grill (现烤臭豆腐) one, nt 25 (RM 2.90) per stick, the fried one (油炸臭豆腐) nt 40 (RM 4.70) per stick, we decided to take the grill one..

and of cos, we added lot's of chili!! hehehe..

We were surprised we actually like it! It's not smelly and it's tasty, especially with the chili added!! Yum yum!! I finally tried smelly toufu!!! yay!!

Famous Prawn Mee @ Jalan Ipoh

When we were on our way home from the bookfest (that was like 2 weeks ago!!), FL brought me to Jalan Ipoh to try the prawn mee, recommended by his colleague. Well, I'm not really a fan of prawn mee, but no harm trying lar...

Shun Li (顺利) Prawn Mee

wow.. seems like a lot of HK actors where here before!!
Eric Tsang, laughing gor, Cheng Kar Weng and etc..

According to FL's colleague, we MUST try the dry version of prawn mee, so both of us ordered dried prawn mee...

dry prawn meehun, RM 4.50

and we're given a bowl of soup..

After tasting the soup, we both think the 'wet' prawn mee will be much better.. Dry prawn mee.. erm, really nothing special...
