Edo Ichi, First Subang

There’s a newly opened shopping mall in Subang. There are several restaurants and pubs in the shopping mall that managed to pull in the crowds, be it weekend or weekdays. And of course, there is also my current addiction, Chatime. Hehe. Just opposite Chatime is Edo Ichi, a Japanese restaurant with revolving sushi belt.

 

Similar like Sushi King and Sakae Sushi, the coloured plates represent different price of sushi on top of the plate. Price wise, more or less the same than the chain sushi restaurant. But variety wise, Edo Ichi offers much more than others. Some that I have never seen before.

 

Was busy eating that night and ooh-ing and aah-ing on the passing sushi, managed to take only a few photographs of food. The tuna sashimi is Papa Pooh’s. He said that it’s very fresh. Pooh’s Unagi Don is nothing to shout about. The amount of rice may be a little miserable but the unagi tastes just fine. As for my meal, I have a sudden urge to eat fried udon that night. On the menu, this is the most interesting as it was served with mayonnaise. Halfway through, I raised the white flag and it was too filling. Yet, I still save a tiny space in my stomach for Roasted Milk Tea. Hahahaha.

Light meal from Wings Café

When there are a lot of choices of food to choose from, selecting the correct one is a headache task. But when they are limited choice, I will complain like there is no tomorrow. Pleasing me is very hard and I wonder how Pooh do it. Hehe.

SS2 is a famous place for food in PJ, at least near my ex company. Pooh use to drive around the area in order for us to choose one place to eat. When both of us are fed up, we would usually park our car at the parking lot whenever we see one available and walk to the nearest restaurant that we like. This is how we entered Wings Café for lunch not so long ago. There is one branch in Subang Jaya but due to it’s location, Pooh has never dine there before. He never knew of it’s existence till I told him there is one.

I visited Wings Café a few times but I can’t remember which branch it is. So I am unable to comment on the menu, whether they have improved or got worst. But the choices of food available are quite plenty and there are my favourite dishes as well.

 

My salad. I forgot what dressing that was on the salad but it’s sweet and very yummy. Unlike the normal mayonaise or thousand island dressing, the salad dressing on the salad was sweet and slightly sour. The bacon bits are my source of meat for the meal. I finished the whole salad on my own, with Pooh stealing bites here and there. He don’t like sour food but he loves the salad as much as I do.

 

Pooh hardly give up on butter milk dishes whenever the restaurant that we dine in serves the dishes. Be it fish or chicken, he will never say “no” to it. This time, it’s butter milk chicken rice with salad as well. I love the butter milk sauce and it is one of the best that I had so far. They give a generous amount of sauce that is enough for the chicken and rice. Yummy

Overall, I would rate the food and restaurant as good and good. This is also a good place for drinks and gossip with friends. Might suggests Wings Café for drinks with ex colleagues in the future since the office is just nearby.

Legally, I am Mrs Ng (or you can call me Mrs Pooh)!!! The registration ceremony went smoothly and I was very happy with the attendance of my beloved family and friends. I do agree I am thinking too much sometimes but Wai Leng is always there to make things right. Thank you

I am getting more and more excited for my wedding and extremely excited for my honeymoon!! Can’t wait for the day to arrive!!!

Hungry Hog

It is kind of hard to find western restaurant that serves pork as the main dishes around KL. So far, I only bumped into a few (less than 10). Lucky me, there’s one in Subang Jaya and it’s near to my future home. The name of the restaurant is Hungry Hog.

 

 

There are numerous pig related decoration in the restaurant. Simple and oink-y, I should say. I love the piggy bank with black sun glasses at the counter top. Haha.

 

The hungry Pooh waiting for his oink oink meal

 

We opted for simple drinks. Hot tea for me and orange juice for Pooh. The tea was served together with a small cup of milk, which I drank separately with the tea. Hahaha.

 

It was raining that night and I needed to eat rice to keep myself warm. So the Siew Yuk Rice (RM11.90) was for me while Pooh ordered Plain Jane (RM12.90) for himself. The siew yuk was very very good, better than most of the chicken rice stalls. Juicy and slightly salty at the end. But something about the rice that tasted a little bit weird. I don’t know how to describe the weird part though. Pooh’s pork burger was quite good as well. Served with salad and piping hot fries, the pork patty was very juicy. Love it!!

They have other special pork dishes as well and I will definitely be back to try the others. But don’t expect the menu to be big or colourful though. The food that they serve are very simple but yet yummy. For those who are on diet, you can opt for the oink oink sandwiches that they have. They do serve fried pork skin, perfect for those who want to gain weight. Haha.

 

I love the pig at the top of the receipt. Looks a little angelic, don’t you think?

Restaurant Hua Xing–my birthday dinner with family

I am those type of girl who always reminds my parents that my birthday is just around the corner every year without fail. And every year my dad will give me the same response, “Really ah?!?? Then I make you 2 red eggs lo”, without fail as well. This year he added, “Let me treat you for dinner. What do you want to eat?”. Yippie. Of course I opted for really good food and since it was with my parents, I can only go for Chinese food. Dad brought mum and 2 poh family for dinner a week earlier and I was unable to tag along. Hence I requested to dine there as mum said the food was really good.

The name of the Restaurant is Hua Xing and it is located at Sungai Way. The direction is very simple, turn left to Sungai Way from the Federal Highway if you are coming from Subang. As you go up the slope, there will be one row of shops on your left. Turn left at the end of the row of shops and there will be another row of shops at the back. The restaurant is at the 1st floor. There are several Indian shops at the ground floor.

 

Part of the menu is dishes where you can normally find at a typical chinese restaurant. The other part is the restaurant’s specialty and to me, those are really rare dishes, especially those that involves bitter gourd. I am relieved that we did not had any that night.

 

The restaurant and the chef are very famous and have been featured countless times on newspaper, both Chinese and English. Famous food shows like Ah Xian has visited this place as well. Me and Pooh may be the last people to know about this place

 

This is Hokkien Braised Pork with Alkaline Kuih. Unlike the Dong Po meat from Esquire Kitchen, the pork is served with a cold sticky tasteless kuih. I love the pork as it was stew until very soft and the sauce was just right. The kuih reminded me of mochi. Haha.

 

Fried Pak Gor has never been my favourite noodle all this while and this is no exception. But Calvin said this is very nice, better than the one that we usually have.

 

This is my favourite dish for the whole night. I finished nearly half of the plate on my own. It’s Thai Style Lady Fingers; which is actually lady fingers with shredded cucumber and some other things which I forgot, with sweet and sour sauce. Very yummy. Me like

 

I forgot what this is as this is not what Dad wanted to order initially. The boss explained that this is Fried Potato Flour Noodle (or is it Fried Tapioca Flour Noodle). I really cannot remember. Physically, it looks like Char Kuey Teow but the noodle is semi transparent and sliced thinner. Looked ordinary but it tasted very good. My favourite noodle of the night!!

 

I think this is Fried Spring Roll but I have no idea what is in it. All I know that this is very yummy as well. At least they did not stuff pork’s internal organ into it, where most of the fried spring roll that I had in the past do.

Overall, I am very satisfied with my birthday dinner but would be better if we have more dishes to go with white rice as I was really looking forward to try other dishes. We were lucky to get a table indoor as me and Pooh reached early. You can call to reserve a table if you come in a bigger group. Else, you will have to sit at the balcony.

I guess it would be better to have all the good food before my birthday as one day after my birthday is the big day!! I am excited to put the dress on as it is really very pretty

Not food related

There is no new food adventure over the past few weeks as Calvin has been very busy with the camera fair that his company organized. It was held in Sunway Pyramid and I tagged along for the weekend events. Main purpose was so that I could drink Chatime. I am addicted to Chatime, Gongcha and Snowflake. I guess I love the chewy consumables that each of them offered. Since there’s no food, let’s talk about pink items

 

My piggy bank. This is a present from my ji mui for my birthday. It has been a faithful coin pig to me for the past 6 or 7 years. I collect coins so that my mum can exchange them with my uncle from Ipoh who owns a coffee shop. This is also a method for me to save money as I don’t like paying my purchase with coins and don’t fancy carrying them around either as they weigh down my bag.

 

Bought some pink items from the shop in Times Square when I first started working in ING. The USB Fan is very pretty, noisy and it moves when I turn it on. But it’s very adorable. I bought another USB fan to replace this one and it’s pink as well. Haha. The pink earphone is very pretty but the quality of the music become bad through it. So, it is currently sleeping nicely in the drawer at office. The pink heart shape container is my travel contact lense container with a mirror, an empty bottle for the solution and a scapula to pick the lense up. Although bulky but it’s very pretty.

 

My pink accessories box that I bought for the 100 yen shop in Subang. I found this is a better way of keeping my earrings than in rack as it won’t collect dust. During my Bangkok trip, I bought quite a number of earrings where the left and right earring are not identical. I can mix and match among them. And sleeping in the box is the only watch that I own. I love bags, earrings and pink items but watch is something that I only need 1 in my lifetime. It’s a present from Calvin on Valentine’s day. I don’t really know how to admire/collect branded watch like IWC, Tag or Omega as for me, it only shows me the time. So one is enough and don’t have to be so expensive cause a RM10 watch will give you the same time of the day as the RM10k watch. Haha. As long as it's pretty and not bulky will be fine for me. But I am not against people who collect watch or prefer branded watch. Different people love different things. Just like I love bags but not everybody love bags the way I do… Hehe.

 

Some of the pink products that I have. I realize that pink products smell better than the non-pink ones. The sakura hand lotion (2nd from left) smell very nice. My hands are very dry and when it has reach the limit, my hands will feel very itchy. It is that kind of itch that will you cannot scratch away. This is when the hand lotion saves the day, besides smelling very nice. Hehe.

 

Pink items that are always in my bag regardless of which bag I am carrying that day. My pink handphone pouch with my Chinese name in pink as the key chain. Bought the pouch from Sg Wang and it provides my phone with a soft and comfortable environment to rest. If you look closely at the my chinese name, there’s an apple on top of it. Got this from my Taiwan trip. The bright pink bag is my sanitary pads bag. Nothing much to say about it except it holds different type of pads. Haha. The shimmering bag is my pink Harrods coins bag. I don’t like to keep coins in my wallet as it will make the wallet very bulky. Since my wallet is leather, I don’t want the coins to affect the shape so I purposely bought this coins wallet so that my wallet will remain pretty forever. Hehe. The pink umbrella is a present from Calvin. He bought it in Hong Kong as he knew I always wanted a pink umbrella from Espirit but I am not comfortable in spending RM50 to buy an umbrella. He bought it at a cheaper price in Hong Kong and this shade of pink is not available in Malaysia. Hehe.

 

My old handphone pouch and wallet. The pouch is no currently used to keep samples of shampoo and skin products that I got from Cleo magazine every month. I am not confident to put some skincare that I have never used before on my face because I am worried that it will give me pimples. The pink wallet is a present from Calvin for my birthday. I told him once that I really love the pink wallet cause it’s pink and few months later, I got it as my present. I changed my wallet to a new one. Even though it is black but I still love it very much. Hehe.

 

My pink gadget, all present from Calvin for Christmas and anniversary. The pink Nintendo is my favorite gift by far. Not only because I have been eyeing on one for the longest time, but it’s his effort that made me treasure this gadget very much. Calvin’s aunty gave me a pink Snoopy phone accessories but I match it with my Nintendo. Looks very pretty now. The pink iPod was chosen by me as anniversary present as I needed a music companion during work. Way cheaper than any other mp3 player out there with the same memory capacity.

The last item is something I wish I have. Calvin already have the item in black. Do you think he will let me change it to….

PINK!?!?!?!

Fukuya Restaurant–Late Birthday Celebration

This was supposed to be a surprise dinner for Calvin to celebrate his birthday even though the actual day was few weeks ago. Since we went back to Ipoh for my grandpa’s birthday on the actual day and the following week both of us were still very exhausted from the pre wedding photo shoot, his big day was only celebrated over the weekend. Both of us love Japanese food, so I Google-d for a Japanese restaurant that we have never been to with a beautiful environment  for a quiet dinner just for me and him. I am terrible in keeping surprise a surprise, especially from him. This time, I considered myself did a great job but something happened earlier in the evening at home that made him suspicious. Oh well, I will try harder next year. Hehe.

I choose Fukuya Restaurant after a few good reviews. The restaurant is located at Jalan Delima, near the Noble Banquet restaurant.

 

We reached the restaurant at 7pm and Calvin managed to take a few photographs of the interior and exterior of the restaurant. There are several private rooms for those who wanted more privacy for a small party. I love the small garden in the middle of the restaurant. There are several chairs near the garden for those who want to smoke or make a private call. I love the peaceful and quiet ambience throughout the whole dinner.

 

We ordered green tea whenever we dine in Japanese restaurant, without a miss. We don’t like alcohol drinks during dinner and the tea will not deviate the taste of our food.

Calvin ordered unagi set meal and I went for the tempura set meal. We were surprised by the portion of the meal, especially the appetizer and sashimi.

 

Our cold appetizer is consist of grilled scallap, lettuce wrapped with salmon, egg, some fish and prawn avocado salad. That was the first time me and Calvin tasted the fish. Instead of normal fish flesh, the fish was actually filled with egg-lookalike thingy all over the body. Acceptable for both of us as we ate the whole body. We were surprised that there’s no bone at all. The scallop with some special sauce was very nice. You can’t see it from the photo but underneath the shell is a small mountain of salt! Overall, I enjoyed the cold appetizer but a little bit salty for me.

 

Hot steaming chawan mushi!! The chawan mushi was very good as it was served still piping hot. The egg was very soft and melt inside our mouth. Yummy yummy!!

 

This is what impressed me the most for the set meal. 6 pieces of sashimi that consist of salmon and tuna. We did not share this as each set meal comes with one plate of sashimi. That means, Calvin can enjoy the 2 plates of sashimi all on his own!! That’s like 12 pieces of raw fish. BUT…. I decided to try a slice of each fish, just to be brave for once. Initially, it was very slimy and I kept on imagining that I was placing a worm in my mouth. Even though tasteless, but still a little bit yucky for me texture wise. I have to say that sashimi is acceptable at the moment. I have to get myself used to eating sashimi before my honeymoon. I can’t just look at Calvin when he enjoy the fresh sashimi while I have nothing to eat right??? Wish me luck and pray that my stomach can take it.

 

For my tempura set, I have an additional stew vegetables dish that consist of mushroom, carrot, lotus root and an unidentifiable crunchy thingy. I love the mushroom but overall, this dish was too salty for me. But, I finished the whole bowl of vegetable including the carrots. I am starting to accept bigger pieces of carrots from time to time for the sake of my eyes. Haha. Vain, I know….

 

Calvin’s much anticipated unagi arrived!! He commented that there’s a little stale taste to his fish but I think it’s okay. Although a little bit small but since we already had few types of appetizers earlier, our stomach was half tank when the main dish arrived.

 

My tempura set. I love the prawns as they were absolutely crunchy. There’s even a deep fried leaf which I push into my mouth without hesitation. Up to now, I still have no idea where did the leaf come from. There’s carrot as well, which I bravely chew and swallowed at a very fast speed. Haha.

 

The belated birthday boy with a big stomach that he hides with his arms. Hahaha. He still prefers Hajime’s food that we went for his birthday last year. Must be the stale taste from his unagi that turns him off a little. Hehe.

Our meal ended with super sweet rock melon. We stayed to chat for a little longer before head to Sg Wang as I wanted to get some belts. Unfortunately, the time spent stuck in the jam to and out from the parking area are more than shopping itself. Furthermore, the shops started to close for business at around 8pm!! Weird!!

 

The entrance/walkway to the restaurant which I love. There are private rooms on the left and right along the pathway. I definitely would be happy for another visit to the restaurant and try out other set meal with more dishes plus the ice cream that is not available that night during my visit.
