Daorae Korean BBQ @ Sri Petaling

2011-01-06T20:31:00.001-08:00

那天看了 “美食大三通” 介绍韩国餐后，我就有了冲动想去吃韩国餐。我本身对于韩国的饮食文化可以说是接近 “零”，曾经有机会在洛杉矶吃过一次，那一次，到现在我都无法忘记。

那时我和老婆到洛杉矶游玩，我随口告诉我姐姐说要试试韩国餐，哪里知道她真的带我们去试。让我无法忘记的是韩国餐里的小食，几乎铺满整张桌子，而且每一样小食都很有特色，味道也不错。

如果以马来西亚的韩国餐来说，我只吃过 “Seoul Garden” 和 “大长今”，从某种程度上，我觉得它们都是不合格的韩国餐，味道欠奉之余，小食也完全没有看头。

那这次我应该去那里尝试？

Ampang 的韩国村？ Sri Hartmas 的餐馆？还是 PJ 的 Kimchiharu?

啊，突然脑袋闪过了一间在大城堡看到的韩国餐 -- “Daorae”。反正没试过，就去那里试试吧，是的，今天我要介绍给大家的就是这间在吉隆坡和槟城都有几间分行的 “Daorae Korean BBQ”。

位于大城堡的这间 “Daorae Korean BBQ” 是新开张的，应该不到一年吧。正确的位子是 Toyota 汽车经销处的楼上，是的，它是位于 2 楼的餐厅。

（玉蜀黍水）

一到楼上，服务生就出来迎接我们了，当我们选择了座位后，他就奉上一瓶玉蜀黍水。当他拿这瓶水来的时候，我喝了一口后，感觉很熟悉，但就是猜不到是什么水来的。过后服务生告诉我们是 Corn Juice，哦，我才知道是玉蜀黍。

排泄，乡下佬不识世界，嘻嘻。

接过了菜单，我点了几样菜，不一会儿，服务生就很忙碌的帮我们上小食了。

（Kimchi）

蔡澜说过，韩国餐的 Kimchi 是灵魂所在，只要 Kimchi 弄得有好吃，其他菜也会弄得不错，所以 Kimchi 是评审韩国餐的标准。

话虽如此，少吃韩国餐的我，根本不可能判断出 Kimchi 的好坏，对我来说，Kimchi 是一样不太好吃的小食，辣之余也没有特别的味道。

会有这样的感觉可能是我还未试过真正好吃的 Kimchi 吧。

（不懂什么来的）

这一样有点特别，特别是在于我不知道它是什么。我感觉它是用 Kimchi 酱料腌制的 potatoes，但，有一位朋友告诉我是 “韩国年糕”。

下次再去时我一定要问问那里的老板。

（不懂什么来的）

这个也特别，也是一样，因为我不知道它是什么，我一直以为它是 “韩国年糕”。这个小食不太好吃，咬下去时软软的，不但没有口感，也没有什么味道。

（蒸蛋）

没想过韩国餐也有蒸蛋，小公主特别喜欢这个，可能她喜欢蒸蛋的味道吧。：）

（芽菜）

（四面豆）

（莲藕）

（苋菜）

（通心粉）

以上的小食都不错，但基于没有什么特别所以不介绍了。

（“Sam-kyub-sal” -- 五花肉 -- RM 27）

登登登登，重点来了。

我就是看到美食大三通去吃韩国五花肉而被吸引来到这间餐馆的。服务生一来到就把一片生的五花肉放进我们前面的烤炉，过后就走开了，少吃韩国餐的我真的不知道应该怎样做，于是就在那里等待，过了不久，服务生又回来了，翻一翻那个肉，又走开了。

哈哈哈，我们两夫妻在那里你望我我望你的。

再过一会儿，服务生又回来了，这次他带着剪刀，把五花肉分尸了，过后放在一个小碟里。

有没有注意到，在烤炉旁边放着一个小铁腕，里面放了一些蒜头，当服务生烤五花肉的同时，他也一边烤那个蒜米。

（葱丝）

看了美食大三通，我当然知道这个五花肉的吃法，顿时，从乡下佬变为专家了，哈哈哈，“识小小扮代表”。

让我讲解给大家知道这个五花肉的吃法：

1。拿一片生菜
2。夹起一片五花肉，沾一沾豆瓣酱，如果喜爱的话，再沾一些油加盐的酱汁（应该是盐和油来的，嘻嘻）
3。加入一片蒜头
4。放上葱丝
5。一口吃完，一定要一口吃完哦，这是韩国人的文化，分几口吃完代表没有礼貌。
6。完毕

是不是似模似样呢？

嘻嘻，这是向美食大三通的詹姆斯学的。

（“Yang-nyum Dak-gal-bi” -- 烤鸡肉 -- RM 27）

烤鸡，甜甜的，用来送饭一流。当然我们有 order 白饭，但基于白饭没有什么特别，所以我不放出照片了。

(“Yang-nyum O-jing-er Goo-e” -- 烤 Sotong -- RM 27)

这个烤 Sotong 不太好吃，感觉只是把 Sotong 沾上咖喱粉，然后就拿去烤。很明显的吃到很重的咖喱粉味。

（“Dwen-jang-jjigae” -- 韩式味增汤 -- RM 18）

本来想到叫一个没有辣的汤，所以选择了这个味增汤，哪里知道也是辣的，还是很辣（我本身是不能吃辣的人，所以少少的辣我也觉得很辣，哈哈哈）。

这个味增汤的材料非常丰富，里面有豆腐，青瓜，啦啦，螃蟹，虾，印象中还有其他的食材，但我不太记得了。

如果不是偏辣了少少，这个汤绝对是一个不错的选择。

忘了说，这个汤是有送一个饭的。

（“Janci-gook-su” -- RM 17）

韩式拉面，正确的名字不太记得。

韩式的面没有什么咬劲，但汤头就非常丰富和够味，里面用了很多海鲜来熬，确实是鲜味十足。本来这个面是点给我的小公主吃的，但她只吃了少少，结果就是我们两夫妻 “啃” 完了。

如之前所说的，我对韩国的饮食文化没有什么了解，但从味道上来说，Daorae 可以说是不错的选择，但有一点一定要留意的，就是它的价钱会偏贵少少。

对于少吃韩国餐的我来说，我觉得还在可以接受的范围里。

Fish Farm Thai Restaurant @ Hulu Langat

2010-12-20T18:58:00.000-08:00

今天要为大家介绍一间比较特别的泰国餐，位于 Hulu Langat。 Hulu Langat 还属于 Ampang 的范围里面，而这间餐馆可以说是在 Ampang 的边界。

从乡下佬的住家启程，大概用了 30 分钟左右就到达了这间餐馆的，不得不说说去这间餐馆的路程，可以用 “攀山越水” 来形容，我们得经过 Kampung 区，工厂区，然后上一个高山，最后再过一段几分钟的石头路。

餐馆位于高山的森林中，一进到这间餐馆，没想到，居然有人收钱，哈，收什么钱？

就是 Parking Fees，每辆车子收费 RM 2，好奇的我一直在想，来到这个深山中的人，应该都是为了餐馆而来，既然如此，为什么不免费 Parking 呢？难道有人特地跑来这里看鱼池，哈哈哈，算了，既然来到，就不要计较那么多。

（餐馆内座）

（餐馆外座）

（餐馆内座）

一来到，就看到一个很大的鱼池，里面养了很多鱼，有非洲鱼，鲤鱼，莞鱼，还有白须公。喜爱大自然的我，看到这个环境除了兴奋还是兴奋，嘻嘻。

基于当天 “天乌乌” 的，所有我就选择了里面来坐。

（餐厅里的鱼排）

（鱼排养的非洲鱼）

接了菜单，我就点了这里几样名菜，当然是事前做足了功课，来之前已经知道这里出名什么菜色。

过后我和老婆带着小公主到鱼排看鱼，在餐馆的中间有一条小桥，这条小桥可通往一个小鱼排，里面养殖了很多非洲鱼，可能其中一条将会成为我们今晚的晚餐，嘻嘻。

不一会儿，看到家人在摇摇手，示意我们上菜了。

（水果摊）

（菜摊）

在还没有拍过瘾的时候居然上菜了，上菜的速度可以说是 “超级” 的快。我示意老婆我还没有拍过瘾，她就先带小公主回座位，我独自一个人到外面拍照。

在餐馆的前面有一个水果摊和菜摊，那里放置了很多新鲜的水果和蔬菜，不知道有没有卖的？

（烧烤区）

(日本田螺）

(鲜蛤）

过一些就是烧烤区，看到工作人员不断的在烧，这可能就是为什么能那么快上菜的原因吧。看到旁边摆放了一些很新鲜的日本田螺和鲜蛤，忍不住拍了几张。

好了，是时候回去品尝美食了！！！

( 芒果沙律 - RM 10 ）

( 鸡脚 - RM 12 ）

先来头盘，我点了芒果沙律和鸡脚。

芒果沙律不如我预期的，不但不酸，也不甜，还带少少咸味，可能这是正宗的泰国沙律风味吧，因为我在几间泰国餐也吃过相同的味道，但，还是不合我胃口。

再来是鸡脚，味道不错，但有一个败处，就是鸡脚煮过头了，鸡脚变得很软，一点咬劲都没有了，我还是喜欢有咬劲的鸡脚，如新怡保芽菜鸡的泰式鸡脚就弄得非常好吃。

（蒜米辣椒非洲鱼 - RM 36 ）

泰国的这个煮法一直是我的最爱之一，在 Kelantan 的 Chiang Mai 吃过一次，难忘。看到这里也有相同的煮法，当然期待盛高，但，往往期待越高，失望也越大。

这个鱼偏辣和偏酸，酸和辣的味道布满整条鱼，在品尝这个鱼的时候，只感觉到辣和酸，和真正的泰式蒸鱼真的还有一段距离。

（泰式酱料）

不得不介绍这个酱料，我敢说这是整间餐馆做得最好的。以下的菜也需要配合这个酱料才带出真正的美味。

（烧螃蟹 - 1 只 RM 27.50 ）

（烧日本田螺 - RM 12　）

除了清蒸，烧也是另一种能把食物的原味带出的烹饪方式，刚才也看到这间餐馆有一个很大的烧烤炉，所以来这里不能不试试这里的烧烤，我特选了螃蟹和田螺来试。

基于没有任何烹调方式，应该怎样弄都不会难吃吧。

这两样菜确实带出了食物的原味，再配合泰国酱料，不错。如果一群朋友来这里点这个菜，喝喝啤酒，应该是不错的选择。

( 蒜米啦啦 - RM 13 )

这个炒啦啦可说是今天最好吃的菜了，有什么特别？

就是因为没有什么特别所以才好吃，哈哈哈。但，上菜的啦啦很多都是空壳的，3 只啦啦里面有 1 只是空的，有点怀疑他们是怎样选食材的。

( 清炒四大天王 - RM 10　）

没想到清炒四大天王里有几只大虾，意外惊喜。

（海鲜 Tom Yam - RM 18 ）

吃到一半才想起我没有 Order 到 Tom Yam，连忙追加这个泰国餐必备的菜色。这个 Tom Yam 还是一样令人失望，少了一种泰国独有的香味，和我在苏梅岛喝到的还是差别很大。

曾经我在苏梅岛喝过一个难忘的 Tom Yam Goong，那时单单那个 Tom Yam 我已经吃了 3 碗饭，虽然辣，但却有一种独特的香味，我一直在马来西亚寻找类似的 Tom Yam，可惜到目前为止我还没有遇到。

（芒果粢饭 - RM 8 ）

“芒果粢饭” 是泰国独有的甜品，要记得哦，这个甜品要趁热吃，冷了就不好吃了。 Fish Farm 用了非常甜美的芒果，配合糯米饭和椰浆，不错吃哦。

吃饱了，我就带小公主去喂鱼，在 Cashier 那里可以买到喂鱼的鱼粮，一包 RM 2，有带小孩的朋友不妨在那里买一包来玩玩，小孩子确实能乐在其中哦。

总的来说，这间餐馆的菜并不太好吃，价钱属于中上，有些菜偏贵了少少，唯一的卖点是 “环境”，在湖边用餐确实写意。

乡下佬有点贪心，如果食物都好吃就完美了，哈哈哈。

芙蓉烧包城 @ Seremban

2010-12-06T03:44:00.000-08:00

提起芙蓉，我想大家一定联想到芙蓉烧包，没错，每次我经过芙蓉，我一定会特地到芙蓉烧包城打包一些烧包。

为什么选芙蓉烧包城？

其实芙蓉很多地方都有烧包卖，而且每一间的水准都不错，但基于方便起见，我时常会到这间位于南北大道附近的芙蓉烧包城。

（芙蓉烧包城）

芙蓉除了烧包外，另外面包鸡也不错，但今天我要介绍给大家的不是烧包，也不是面包鸡，而是一种大家可能听都没有听过的虾，名为 “麒麟虾”。

哈，一听这个名字就已经感觉到这种虾的威猛。

（芙蓉烧包城 - 内部）

基于回 KL 的路程遇上堵车，在不想浪费太多时间在路上，所以我决定在芙蓉烧包城享用我的晚餐。一走进这间餐厅，我就被 “麒麟虾” 所吸引了。

所以我随手就叫了一个福建面，一个麒麟虾生面，和一个妈蜜螃蟹。

（福建面 - RM 6）

可能是肚子饿了的关系，感觉这个福建面非常好吃，可是回想一下，好像也没有什么特别，就只是一个普通的福建面吧。

有时候，越简单的食物越难料理，能把一个普通的菜色弄得不难吃就已经是好吃了，哈哈哈，这是乡下佬的怪道理。

（麒麟虾生面 - RM 15）

主菜来了，期待的麒麟虾就摆在我的面前，说时慢那时快，一下子我就把一只麒麟虾往我的口里丢去。

一咬，两咬！！！

依，这个感觉很熟悉，不就是像 “白灼草虾” 一样。没错，无论口感，味道都和 “草虾” 一样，我还看到隔壁台也同样叫了麒麟虾，不过他们不是叫生面，而是叫 “白灼麒麟虾”。

哈，学懂了，下次我也会有样学样。：）

（妈蜜螃蟹 - RM 48）

吃完了面食，当然到了甜品时间，而这个甜品不是所谓的糕点，而是妈蜜螃蟹。意外的，厨师煮得不错，不但很入味，而且螃蟹也很新鲜，享受。

如果下次你有机会到芙蓉，不妨试试这里的麒麟虾和螃蟹，绝对是一绝！！！

吃饱了，我们就到店里走走，哦，原来餐厅旁边就放着很多鱼缸，里面养殖了各式各样的海鲜，当然少不了我刚吃到的麒麟虾，难怪麒麟虾的口感那么好，原来是新鲜活捉并且当场烹饪的。

在麒麟虾的养殖缸旁放着一个介绍麒麟虾的布条，原来它是用日本技术养殖的有机虾，特色在于它没有 “黑肠”，麒麟虾不但美味还有保健的作用，里面解释说，如果每个星期享用一斤的麒麟虾，可以感受到身体状况的改变。

哈哈哈，虾会导致胆固醇高我就听过，保健还是头一回，无论孰真孰假，当你看到这个价钱的时候，任何保健意识都会忘记了。

p/s: 来到芙蓉烧包城，不要忘记买烧包哦，而且还要趁热吃。：）

Cameron Organic Steamboat @ Cameron Highland

2010-11-06T18:02:00.000-07:00

“火锅” 或者 “打边炉” 是一种由中国流传进马来西亚的文化，几乎所有马来西亚的华人都热爱这种文化，奇怪的是，大马人很多都是怕热的一族，但在 30 度的热天下，我们居然能开怀大笑的和朋友在街边 “打边炉”，想起来这真的有点自相矛盾，无论如何，只要开心就好了。

在 “打边炉” 的时候，我的朋友们都有一个非常不好的习惯，他们喜欢把所有食物都丢进锅里，然后关掉锅盖，等到食物熟透的时候他们就把食物捞起放在碗里，然后又把其他食物丢进去，再关掉锅盖，不断的重复以上的动作。

这是我非常不爱做的事情，吃火锅应该等到在锅里的汤滚了的时候，把自己喜爱的食物丢进去，一面等待食物煮熟，一面和朋友聊聊天，基于每样食物需要烹饪的时间都不一样，所以我们就会观察锅里的情况，把先煮熟的食物捞起，再等待其他食物。

一样一样的把食物从锅里捞起再送进我们的嘴里，这真是无敌的乐趣，所以我极度不爱把所有食物都捞到碗里的做法。

马来西亚得天独厚，我们不但有炎热的天气，但只要从 KL 开车 3 个小时，我们就能到达环境优美，天气凉快的 “金马仑”。“金马仑” 位于马来西亚 “彭亨州” ，常年处于 13 度的气候使到很多城市人喜欢来这里避暑，我也不例外，每年都一定抽空上去休闲一番。

来到 “金马仑”，不能不享受这里的火锅，在一个处于 13 度的气候下品尝一顿热乎乎的火锅绝对是一种极高的享受。

这次我要介绍给大家的是这间位于 Brinchang 的有机火锅店（Cameron Organic Steamboat)。

除了这间店是采用有机蔬菜之外，另一个特色就是它的器材，它不是用一般的煤气炉，而是用炭烧的炉，我简称这种锅为 “炭炉”。

用炭炉有什么特色？

炭本身会带出一种煤气给不到的热度，而这个热度却非常适合用于煲汤和打边炉, 在不规划的热力下，打边炉变得要特别留心，不然食物就煮过熟了，哈哈哈。

可能有些人不太喜欢炭烧的味道，不过我个人却觉得这才有特色。：）

Organic steamboat 这里提供两种汤料：
1。荤食火锅（鸡汤）
2。素汤火锅（大豆汤）

每位 RM 19。

我这种肉食动物当然选择第一种汤料啦，这个配套将给予 10 种有机蔬菜，原谅我的健忘，我忘记哪 10 种了。

当然不会只是蔬菜，配套还有鱼蛋，鸡肉丸，鸡香卷，腐片，豆腐，墨鱼，蟹柳，鸡肉，虾，海蜇，鸡蛋，和有机米粉。

绝对是丰富和新鲜的材料。

在金马仑，我试过 4,5 间火锅店，这间 Organic Steamboat 是我觉得价钱最公道和最多食物的一间。

切记：在 Brinchang 大街上很多都是 “骗人” 的餐馆，如果有机会到那里一尝，不妨考虑我介绍的这间。

大闸蟹的故事

2010-10-18T01:51:00.000-07:00

“秋风起，蟹脚痒” 又到了一年一度吃大闸蟹的季节，大闸蟹这个名字，我们通常只是在香港的连续集才听到，然而现在也开始在马来西亚盛起。

所以我特地从网上找到了一些关于大闸蟹的资料转载来这里，希望和大家分享一下：

以下的资料来至于： http://baike.baidu.com/view/31641.htm

大闸蟹是河蟹的一种，河蟹学名中华绒螯蟹。在我国北起辽河南至珠江，漫长的海岸线上广泛分布，其中以长江水系产量最大，口感最鲜美。一般来说，大闸蟹特指长江系的中华绒螯蟹。过去大闸蟹在长江口近海产苗，长成幼蟹后，逆长江洄游，生长在长江下游一带的湖河港汊中。

名称

【品牌名称】渔村水产　　
【物种名称】阳澄湖大闸蟹　　
【拉丁学名】 Eriocheir sinensis 　　
【英文名称】 China Crab 　　
【中文俗称】大闸蟹　　

苏州有着2500年的悠久历史,阳澄湖大闸蟹也同样有着2500年的悠久历史,座落在阳澄湖边有一个村庄叫渔村,渔村人世世代代以打鱼为生,古人云靠山吃山,靠水吃水，现在的渔村人还是以水为生，渔村人现在靠养殖阳澄湖大闸蟹为生.他们创建自己品牌渔村水产,渔村人现在开始走向全国，走向世界!

大闸蟹的蟹文化

　　吃大闸蟹是一种季节性的享受，唐代诗人李白曾赞道：“蟹螯即金液，糟丘是蓬莱。且须饮美酒，乘月醉高台”，饕客们怎可错过这个大快朵颐的好时机，这不吃大闸蟹的季节又到了！俗语说：“秋风起，蟹脚痒，九月圆脐十月尖。”九月要食雌蟹，这时雌蟹黄满肉厚；十月要吃雄蟹，这时雄蟹蟹脐呈尖形，膏足肉坚，有关大闸蟹的饮食文化又成为了大家的话题。　　

何谓大闸蟹？河蟹也，但不是所有的河蟹，品种一定要是中华绒鳌蟹，个头一定要是三两以上。据说大闸蟹之名是有来头的：当时苏州、昆山一带的捕蟹者，在港湾间设置了闸门，闸用竹片编成，夜间挂上灯火，蟹见光亮，即循光爬上竹闸，此时只需在闸上一一捕捉，故叫大闸蟹。　　

阳澄湖大闸蟹久负盛名，附有“蟹中之王”的盛名，就在人们赶着吃蟹的时候最不能忘的就是阳澄湖大闸蟹，大家都为能吃到正宗的阳澄湖大闸蟹而沾沾自喜。如今深圳各大酒楼的海鲜档口都爬着大闸蟹，各种菜系的酒楼都推出阳澄湖大闸蟹菜肴，无论是粤菜馆、川菜馆、朝菜馆，但是天南地北美食的发源才有正宗可言，想必江南菜酒楼经营阳澄湖大闸蟹才是名正言顺，无论是大闸蟹的来源、口味都将发扬江南的美食文化。并从大闸蟹的一蟹一螯，百般滋味中感受源远流长的中国饮食文化。　　

通常，人们都把大闸蟹比作味中极品，因为它具备了美食所必备的色、香、味、形、质。明代文学家张岱就曾说食大闸蟹“不加醋盐而五味俱全”。

口味

　　就像墨分六色，琴具七音一样，大闸蟹也有多味：蟹肉一味，蟹膏一味，蟹黄一味，蟹子又一味。而蟹肉之中，又分“四味”：大腿肉，丝短纤细，味同干贝；小腿肉，丝长细嫩，美如银鱼；蟹身肉，洁白晶莹，胜似白鱼；蟹黄，妙不可言，无法比喻。而蟹子曝干后则是海鲜珍品，为海鲜第一味。　　

说到大闸蟹，不能不提上海人。上海人和大闸蟹的情分，就像东北人和酸菜粉条、四川人和水煮鱼一样，难舍难分。据不完全统计，大闸蟹上市期间，每个上海人每年平均吃掉大闸蟹12.5只。　　

上海人在吃的文化上一直追求的是精细、考究，请客吃饭时越是过程繁琐、讲求细节，越是显出主人家的诚意。大闸蟹这颗从上海饮食界升起的明星，除了其膏油甘香诱人外，就是吃大闸蟹步骤地冗长琐碎。有这样一个笑话，话说一个上海人要坐火车到北京，上车之前买了一只大闸蟹，在车上开吃，火车每靠一站，他就刚好吃完一只蟹脚，一站一站的过，终于到了北京，上海人这才把手里的大闸蟹完全消灭干净。如果你认为这过于夸张，那么只有一个可能——就是你还未足够了解一只大闸蟹。

大闸蟹的传说

　　阳澄湖大闸蟹闻名天下，鲜盖百味。有人问：是谁最早吃着这个鲜头，成为天下第一食蟹人？巴城镇流传下来一则岁月悠远的民间传说，可以满意回答。　　

相传几千年前,人类的祖先已经在江南的陆地上定居栖息，从事捕捞水产和农垦耕作，一代又一代含辛茹苦地创建出一个鱼米之乡。由于江南地势低洼，雨量充沛，经常易闹水灾。有时虽然丰收在望，可是，江湖河泊里却冒出了许多爱朝亮光爬行的甲壳虫，双螯八足，形状凶恶可闯进稻田俞吃谷粒，还用犀利的螯伤人。荆蛮先民吓得畏如虎狼，称这种虫为夹人虫，不等太阳落山，就早早关上大门。　　

后来，大禹到江南开河治水，派壮士巴解到水陆交错的阳澄湖区域督工，带领民工开挖海口河道。入夜，工棚口刚点起火堆，谁知火光引来了黑压压的一大片夹人虫，一只只口吐泡沫象湖水汹涌而来。大家要紧出来抵挡，工地上激起了一场人虫大战。不多时，夹人虫吐出的泡沫，直把火堆湮息，双方在黑暗中混战到东方发白，夹人虫早才纷纷退入水中。可是好多民工被夹伤的夹伤，夹死的夹死，血肉淋漓，惨不忍睹。

　　夹人虫的侵扰，严重妨碍着开河工程。巴解寻思良久，想出了一个办法,叫民工筑座土城，并在城边掘条很深的围沟，待等天晚城上升起火堆，围沟里灌进沸腾的开水。夹人虫席卷过来，就此纷纷跌入沸水沟里烫死。沟里虫的尸体越积越多，便用长挠钩起来，继续灌放开水作战。烫死的夹人虫浑身通红，堆积如山，发出一股引人开胃的鲜美香味。巴解闻着后,好奇地取过一只细看，把甲壳掰开来，一闻香味更浓。他想:味道喷香扑鼻，肉不知能不能吃？便大着胆子咬一口。谁知牙齿轻轻嚼动，嘴里觉味道鲜透，比什么东西都好吃。巴解越吃越香，一下把一只夹人虫嚼到肚里，接连又吃一只。大家见他吃得津津有味，胆子大的民工也跟着吃起来，无不大喜说：大家来吃夹人虫，味道香极了！于是，民工们都随手俯捡而食，把一大堆夹人虫全都消灭到“五脏殿”里。当地的百姓获悉后,也就纷纷捉拿夹人虫吃,又很快传遍四面八方。

从此，先民们都不怕夹人虫了，被人畏如猛兽的害虫一下成了家喻户晓的美食。大家为了感激敢为天下先的巴解，把他当成勇士崇敬，用解字下面加个虫字，称夹人虫为蟹，意思是巴解征服夹人虫，是天下第一食蟹人。巴城就是为了纪念巴解而名的。巴城出产的阳澄湖大闸蟹，由此而名扬四方，久享盛誉。

康乃馨肉骨茶 @ Gurney Drive, Penang

2010-09-30T04:08:00.000-07:00

大马出名什么美食？

我相信大家第一样想到的一定是肉骨茶，没错，马来西亚的肉骨茶确实是闻名世界，甚至很多国际明星都曾经到达马来西亚来一尝这个美食。

单单在巴生地区（肉骨茶的发源地）就已经有四百多间肉骨茶档口，我相信在马来西亚应该有超过一千间吧。

那到底那里的肉骨茶最好吃？

这是没有答案的，因为每间肉骨茶都有独特的配方，独特的味道，在马来西亚是不可能找到一样味道的肉骨茶的，加上每个人的口味也不一样，所以品尝的时候也有所偏差。

“最好” 的肉骨茶不会浮在表面上，而是存在每个马来西亚公民的心里。

今天我要介绍的就是槟城最出名的肉骨茶： “康乃馨肉骨茶”

康乃馨肉骨茶位于关仔角，就在 Evergreen Hotel 的旁边，地理可以说是非常的好，也非常容易的找到。

康乃馨肉骨茶还曾经在光明日报举办的肉骨茶选举里入选为马来西亚二十大肉骨茶之一，不但如此，我敬仰的美食家蔡澜先生更是特别喜爱这间肉骨茶，在餐馆的门口可以清楚看到蔡澜的照片。

（大骨 -- RM 40 ）

不一会儿，有一位伙计来和我们下菜单，我就叫了 6 人份的肉骨茶加上一盘青菜。当伙计给老板看这个菜单时，这位伙计被老板臭骂了一顿，我们在老远看着真的不知发生了什么事情。

过后，老板就直接过来和我们接洽，他告诉我们今天有 “大骨”，这个 “大骨” 不是时常都有，基于我们人数比较多，所以才能点这个食物，如果少人的话根本吃不完。

哈，我一直都知道 “大骨” 是肉骨茶的精髓，可是没想到会在槟城吃到。食神韜韜曾经说过，大骨是肉骨茶里最柔软的部分，也是最好吃的部分，既然今天有幸在这里吃到，我哪里可能会错过。

大骨来了后，老板也跟着在后面到来，他手里拿着一把剪刀，二话不说的把大骨分尸了。分尸的速度可以用 “极速” 来形容，虽然我没有计时，不过我相信老板只用了半分钟就把大骨变成了以下的摸样。

（切了的大骨）

我不得不佩服老板熟练的 “剪功”，这种功力绝对不会是一时三刻可以练成的，哈哈哈。

（配料 -- RM36）

当然，除了大骨，我们还叫了其他配料。里面有冬菇，豆腐卜，腐竹，猪肉圆，猪肚，和猪肠。

（青菜 -- RM14）

青菜没有什么特别，就不提了。

（白饭 -- RM 1 一碗，芋头饭 -- RM 2 一碗，油条 -- RM 2 一碗）

在康乃馨肉骨茶里，你可以选择普通的白饭或是芋头饭。不要惊讶，真的是芋头饭，我相信芋头饭配肉骨茶应该是槟城人的习惯，不过我本身还是比较喜欢吃白饭。

说到这里，那到底这里的肉骨茶好不好吃？

哈哈哈，我不敢断言好吃还是不好吃，因为每个大马人心中对肉骨茶都有一把衡量的尺，以我心中的尺来看，康乃馨肉骨茶绝对值得一吃。

下次有机会到槟城，不妨来这里试试。

2010-09-23T05:20:00.001-07:00

我和 Bali Hai 的懈逅:

在 2007 年的圣诞节，我和老婆来到了槟城渡假，那时我们入住了在关仔角 (Gurney Drive) 的一间酒店 (Gurney Hotel)。到了晚上，我们就在附近走走，在偶然的的情况下，我们被这间布满鱼缸的餐厅所吸引着，就是这样，我们走了进这间餐厅用餐。

回到吉隆坡的时候我才知道这间餐厅非常出名，出名什么?

哈哈哈，朋友给我的答案是出名贵，不过食物相当好吃。

三年后的今天，我还是选择这间餐厅为我美食之旅的其中一个晚餐。

(餐厅内)

一走进餐厅，一切如旧，一排排的鱼缸还是在那里，里面还是布满了非常新鲜活跃的海鲜，单单站在那里看就已经非常开心了，尤其是我那位小公主，时不时都要我带她去看鱼。

(澳洲龙虾 - 1 kg RM 240 )

一如既往，我还是叫服务员跟着我到鱼缸那里，一面看海鲜一面选，走下走下，我看到一个没有尝试过的东西，就是以上的 "澳洲龙虾"。

波士顿龙虾，本地龙虾，沙巴龙虾我都试过，唯独这个澳洲龙虾我没有试过，在我后面的为食魔鬼不断的纵容我，好啦，我投降，就点了这个澳洲龙虾，煮法是服务员所介绍的 "芝士炒龙虾"，哦，看清楚，是 "炒" 不是 "焗"。

(野生忘不了- 1 kg RM 688 )

过后，更看到我梦想的鱼 -- "忘不了"，这里居然只卖 RM 688，我立刻讯问服务员最小的一条是多大?

她轻松的回答我: "最小的大概 3 kg 左右"。

这。。。。真的没办法了，实在是太贵了，唯有等下次吧 !!!

选择了我有兴趣的海鲜后我就会座位了，等待一餐美味的海鲜大餐 !!!

(白灼草虾 - 1 kg RM 90 )

(辣椒酱)

第一道上的菜是以上的 "白灼草虾"，如果草虾新鲜的话，白灼是最能吃出鲜味的煮法。果然，这个草虾不但清甜而且非常爽口，再配上 Bali Hai 自制的辣椒酱，真的是双得益章。

(芝士炒龙虾)

再来就是澳洲龙虾，基于我们一行人有 6 位，所以我点了三只。本来以为这个龙虾不是 "游水" 的会导致肉质偏软，哦，一尝之下，不但爽脆，而且芝士味配得刚刚好。唯一不足的就是这个龙虾太小了，两口就吃完了半只，感觉和在沙巴吃 "珍珠龙虾" 一样。

哈哈哈，下次一定要叫多几只来吃个饱。

(炒豆苗)

一盘炒豆苗来的真是时候，可以清一清我们的口腔，然后再准备享受接下来的美食。

(福建面)

(辣椒酱)

这个就是福建炒面，非常类似我们 KL 的福建面，或者用另一种说法，这是槟城式的福建面。煮法和 KL 的有少少不同，他们只用少量的黑酱油，面条也用小条的面，而不是 KL 式的大面。

下次来到槟城时，不要以为服务员搞错了哦 !!!

(招牌面)

这是服务员介绍的招牌面。

福建炒面和招牌面都不错，里面都用了很新鲜的材料，尤其是里面的海鲜，配上那个辣椒酱，真的是绝配。

(咸蛋炒螃蟹 - 1kg RM 70)

最后来的是 "咸蛋炒螃蟹"，着眼看下去和我平时吃的一样，可是一拿起来就发现有少少分别了，那个外壳被咸蛋包围着，而且咸蛋都炒得很脆，有点炸香蕉的感觉，皮脆肉软。

第二次光临 Bali Hai，还是没有让我失望，我相信下次我到槟城时也一定会再光顾这间餐馆。

食物价钱 (6 位大人，3 位小孩):

白灼草虾 -- RM 90
芝士炒龙虾 -- RM 160
炒豆苗 -- RM 18
福建面 -- RM 20
招牌面 -- RM 18
咸蛋炒螃蟹 -- RM 85

另加茶水，毛巾，5% Government Tax 和 5% Service Charges。

亚龙炒粿條 @ Jalan Dato Keramat, Penang

2010-09-20T05:22:00.000-07:00

我上过槟城很多次，可惜每次都没有机会一尝那里的炒粿條。

槟城炒粿條有多出名?
我个人觉得它的知名度就如马来西亚的肉骨茶一样。

我还记得在美国的唐人街上，很多马来西亚的餐厅都以 Penang 这个字眼为招牌，如在很多美国城市都有分行的 "Penang Street"。

当然，说到槟城，不能不说炒粿條。

根据我朋友提供的资料，槟城出名的炒粿條有四档，即是: Lorong Selamat，亚龙，Siam Road 和 Pulau Tikus。

Lorong selamat 的炒粿條非常出名，同时也臭名远播，基于那里老板非常 "巴必"，所以这次槟城美食之旅我不把它列入我的名单里面。

现在为大家介绍的是另一间和 Lorong Selamat 齐名的: "亚龙炒粿條 " !!!

(群香茶室旁边角度)

"亚龙炒粿條" 是在群香茶室里面，上面这张照片是从旁边拍摄的，茶室的前面是一条大路 (Jalan Dato Keramat)，非常难找 Parking，不过不用担心，在茶室的旁边有一排 Parking (Jalan Dunlop)。

工作人员一直忙碌的把一碟又一碟香喷喷的的炒粿條送到客人口中。

(特别炒粿條)

登登登登 !!!!

等了大概 10 分钟左右，我 order 的炒粿條来了，在介绍炒粿條之前，先说说这里有多少种炒粿條。

1。炒粿條 = RM 5.00
2。炒粿條 + 蛋 = RM 5.50
3。特别炒粿條 = RM 9.00
4。特别炒粿條 + 蛋 = RM 9.50

既然来到，我当然点了最贵的。

漂亮吧!!!

"特别炒粿條" 的特别之处就是在于它里面拥有四只大的老虎虾，还有赖尿虾，当然不能缺少鸡蛋。

老虎虾确实非常鲜甜，而且也很爽口，以超大的老虎虾来炒粿條，我相信应该只有这一档。

槟城炒粿條还有什么特别之处?

答案就是少油，当吃完整碟炒粿條的时候，你一定会发现碟子里不会留下太多的油，这个就是槟城炒粿條和 KL 炒粿條的最大分别。

至于火候，当然是十足啦。

虽然这个炒粿條相当的贵，不过我却认为值得一试。

富山点心 @ Ipoh

2010-09-14T06:48:00.000-07:00

怡保 (Ipoh) 一直都是马来西亚其中一个聚尽美食的城市，尤其是闻名全国的 "芽菜鸡"，除此之外，点心也是怡保不可错过的美食。

以点心来说，不能不提 "富山" 和 "明阁"，我特别喜爱富山的点心，它不但真材实料，更是美味可口。每当我要到槟城游玩的时候，我一定停留在怡保一尝富山的点心。

(前门)

(室内)

一如既往，这次我也不错过停留在这个喜爱的点心店。大概一年前，富山从一间小小的店铺搬到现在一个宏伟的大酒楼。以前至少需要排队一个小时才拿到位子，而新的店面铺排超过一百张桌子，到来的顾客也不再需要排一个小时的长龙。

(虾饺)

虾饺，烧卖一直都是港式点心不可缺少的食物。来到这里当然不能错过，不过，事以愿违，想像的永远不一定会成真。这个虾饺不但皮厚，馅更是不太新鲜，很明显的吃到一种不新鲜海鲜的味道。

再来就是一个创意点心，是一个用鸭肉制作的点心，一品尝之下，只能说一个字 "怪" !!!

(鸡窝包)

鸡窝包创于吉隆坡的大城堡 (忘记店名了)，没想到富山也拷贝过来了，鸡窝包真的也做到举世闻名啊，哈哈哈 !!!

(糯米鸡)

过后当然少不了我最喜欢的糯米鸡，毕竟这是我喜爱的菜色，所以只要不难吃我都是可以接受的。 :)

(菠菜虾饺)

(鱼圆)

(干贝烧卖)

(排骨)

(鸡脚)

(马拉糕)

以上的点心没有什么特别，所有我就不一一特别介绍了。

这是其中一个我喜欢富山的原因，就是这种推车式的卖点心方式，现在的点心店多数都不再用这个方式了，每当看到有人推着车来卖点心就唤起我十多年前的回忆。相当可惜，现在的点心店已经不维持这种具备特色的传统了。

(番薯蛋)

这是唯一一个我觉得富山好吃的食物。

(酿辣椒)

(酿矮瓜豆腐)

这个也不错，特别是那个豆腐很香滑细幼，这可能因为怡保拥有非常清甜山水的关系。

这次的富山之旅有点失望，打从英国回来的时候，我一直盼望能再到富山品尝美味可口的点心，更加希望能到一到新搬迁的富山大酒楼，不过一尝之下却让我非常失望，以前美味的富山已经不存在了，这可能是因为制造量大了，质量也跟着下降，可惜可惜。

还有一些点心因为拍的不太理想，所以我也没有放出来。

这一餐早餐一共 6 个大人 3 个小孩，总共的费用是 RM 115.80 (包括 5% Govt Tax)。

改头换面，从新开始

2010-09-03T00:55:00.000-07:00

2008 年 5 月，我成立了我人生中第一个部落格，就是这个 "美食" 部落格，那时创立这个部落格是为了要把我的美食之路做一个记录。

不久，我被派到英国分公司两年，马来西亚的美食之路也随之停止。

两年后的今天，我将从新出发，为了迎接一个全新的开始，我把部落格改头换面，今后，这个部落格将命名为 "乡下美食坊"，也从之前的英文写法改成中文。

乡下佬的美食之路正式展开 !!!

谢谢大家 !!!

Cafe Nero @ Bristol

2009-05-05T07:09:00.000-07:00

Initially i plan to have breakfast at St. John Market , but the market is closed due to Bank holidays. So i am looking around in Bristol Old Town and finally decided to try this Cafe Nero. I can see a lot of Nero branches in UK.

As usual i order my favorite drink "Cafe Latte" and my wife order her favorite hot chocolate.

Cafe Latte

Hot Chocolate

For our breakfast, i order a Raspberry & White chocolate muffins and my wife order Panettone. Where Panettone is traditional italian cake with dry grape.

Panettone

Raspberry & White chocolate muffins

The muffin is good, especially those baked sugar on top of the muffin. For the Panettone, it is just feel like bread with dry grape in Malaysia. Nothing special for this.....

2009-05-05T05:48:00.000-07:00

After the english meal in Pump Room restaurant at Bath, so i decided to try others country food in Bristol. Finally i choose this Masa Japanese Restaurant.

From outlook, it seems like a very high class restaurant, but the food is totally disappointed me.

I order an Una Ju where it is grilled eel with sweet sauce soy. It is one of my favorite meal in Japanese cuisine. And my wife order a Nebayaki where it is noodle with chicken soup serve with king prawn tempura. We can choose from Soba, Udon, and Ramen for the noodle soup.

Una Ju

Nebayaki

The Una Ju is quite nice but the noodle definitely is a failure.

Mixed Vegetable and Seafood Tempura

The tempura is too much of flour . This is another disappointment as well.

Gyoza

The worst is coming, this is Gyoza where it is fried pork dumpling with cabbage, Chinese leaf, Chinese chives and waterchesnut. I can feel the cabbage is very bitter and hard to swallow.

This is the first and worst Japanese restaurant i ever had in UK.

Price:
Una Ju GBP 8.50
Nebayaki GBP 8.50
Gyoza GBP 4.50
Yasai Tempura GBP 6.00

2009-05-05T05:33:00.000-07:00

Full of hunger after visiting Clifton Suspension Bridge. Initially i plan to go The Picture House for my lunch, but unfortunately the restaurant is closed for bank holiday. I keep looking around in the Clifton town, finally i found this restaurant Cosmo Pan Asian Restaurant. At first, I tought this is chinese restaurant, but have a close look at it, it is buffet style restaurant.

When i just get into the restaurant, i was surprised by the tepanyaki bar. A well trained chinese chef is performing japanese tepanyki in front of customers. I eagerly going to line up and get one of my starter.

Calamari and King prawn

Scallops and Salmon

It is really a nice starter for my buffet.

Main course

My main courses is combination of fried noodles, curry lamb, sweet and sour pork, vegetable and dim sum. Fair enough, no surprise for this kind of food.

At last is my dessert. Looking good cake and ice cream. It is wonderful.....

The Pump Room Restaurant @ Bath

2009-05-05T03:37:00.000-07:00

There is a lot of Michelin Rates restaurant in Bath, but after consideration of convenient, i decided to try this Pump Room Restaurant. The restaurant is located at the city center of Bath,UK where it is just next to Roman Bath.

Entrance

Inside Restaurant

The restaurant is well english decorated. I feel very comfortable when staying in this restaurant. At the end of the corner, there is a pianist playing classical music.

Coke with Lemon

Organic Apple and Carrot Juice

Bread with butter

We start our meal with some bread and drinks. The bread is feel like french style, the skin is hard and no taste. Personally, i do not like this kind of bread. (I do not know what is the name to call this bread :) ).

Grilled Carrot

Before the main courses start, the waiter serve us a plate of grilled carrot. The chef uses white and red carrot. Honestly, it is my first time to see white carrot in my life. Maybe this is the special vegetable from England? The taste for the white carrot is similar to red carrot, but it is sweeter. It is good match with all the grill food.

Roast Lamb Shoulder

Minted Pears

My main course is Roast Lamb shoulder with minted pears. Well match the grilled lamb with the minted pears.

My wife order Traditional Roast chicken with bread sauce and honey bath sausages. No surprise for this chicken. i can say there is nothing special with this meal.

The Harbour

2009-04-18T02:17:00.000-07:00

When i reach Caernarfon, i found out that this is close to sea side. So i am so exciting to hunt for some seafood. Normally in western country, there will be some good seafood restaurant at the port. But after i go round and round at the Caernarfon Castle, i couldn't get any seafood restaurant, what a disappointed.

After all, i decided to try one of the restaurant there,namely "Yr Harbwr", the name is in Welsh language, so i guess the name is "The Harbour", but i see another name for this restaurant called "Table Table", so i do not know what is the actual name for this restaurant.

After seen the menus, i am attracted by one main courses called "Duck N Apple", from the description, it is duck meat cooked with apple sauce. So i decided to try this. Since i haven't tried any steak in UK, so i order another Sirloin Steak.

Our starter drink is Cappuccino and Mocha. As the dinning culture in UK, normally the english people like to drink coffee after the meal and with some desserts. But asian style is to drink coffee before the meal.

Cappuccino

Mocha

No Comment for the drink, it is just like normal Cappuccino and Mocha. No surprise.

Duck N Apple

The duck is looked nice with some grill potatoes and brocolli at the bottom. But there is a bit disappointed with the meal. The apples sauce is too sweet, it is not matched with the duck. I am thinking if they can change the sauce, then the meal will be perfect.

Sirloin Steak

First Sirloin Steak in UK,it comes with fried tomatoes and some fresh water-cress. I order with Medium cook, but after all comes out with Medium-Rare cook (i think i spell correctly). For steak wise, i like Medium-Rare rather than Medium, but normally when i try a new restaurant, i do not dare to order medium-rare, so i will take the safety side, medium cook will be better. The steak is really disappointed me, i do not feel soft enough with the meat. Quite a failure steak.

Price (in GBP)
Cappuccino 1.95
Mocha 2.15
Sirloin Steak 12.49
Duck 9.99

Total cost: GBP 26.58

The Anglesey

2009-04-18T01:01:00.000-07:00

It has been long time not updated my blog. Since i have assigned to UK for 2 years, i found there is no special food in UK. My mood of hunting food is getting down by last few months. But now i have different experience. After the trip from Snowdonia (Wales) and Manchester, i found out that UK has a lot of European country food like Spanish food,Turkish food, Italian Food, and others. Now i feel alive and will keep hunting food in UK. Now i will present the food i hunt in my Snowdonia and Manchester Trip.

The restaurant name is "The Anglesey". The building of this restaurant looks like old fashion english house, the best part is the restaurant is facing sea. Nice feeling with good food. This is what my feeling at this restaurant.

AFter going in, there is 3 special menus today, "Mussels cooks with white wine", "Lamb Chop", and "Sirloin Steak". Sure i need to order seafood since i am at the sea side.

Nice well cook mussels with a little bit white wine, serve with some creamy soup. The soup is definitely good match with the fench bread.

My wife order an salmon. It is quite good as well but the mussel still the best. Salmon is fresh enough with some rice inside (i do not know what is that call, it is one kind of rice in India). Serve with some fresh vegetable, cook mushroom, and grill small potatoes. Personally feeling, the mushroom sauce is too strong, not suitable for the salmon.

Price:
1 Salmon
1 Mussel
1 pepsi
1/2 pint of beer

Total cost of meal = GBP 18.95 (not bad)

Restaurant Malaysian Delight

2009-01-11T00:02:00.000-08:00

Surpirsingly, I found a good Malaysian restaurant in Birmingham China Town. There is three main races in Malaysia, Chinese,Malay and Indian. This restaurant mainly present Malaysian's Chinese food.

I started with a Malaysian style White Coffee. In UK, a coffee with milk will call "White Coffee", but in Malaysia it is different. White coffee represent a coffee which using different method of roasting. It is taste a bit different than the normal Arabica black coffee.

You can refer to my earlier post for more info:
Old Town White Coffee

One of my habit, if i want to try the quality of the chinese restaurant, i will order a Sweet and Sour pork. As my observe, for chinese food in Malaysia, there is only a good chef can cook a good Sweet and Sour pork. You must try this !!!

China Town Noodle Bar

2008-12-07T11:56:00.000-08:00

It is located at the china town of birmingham, which closed to Bull Ring shopping center. Now UK is extremely cold, it is a good time to have a nice and hot porridge.

Lean Pork and Thousand Years Egg Porridge

Deep fried Plain Pasty

I have order a Lean Pork and Thousand Years Egg Porridge and Fried YouTiao. Maybe a lot of people dont know what is Thousand Years Egg (皮蛋) . It is just a marinated duck eggs, but this marinated method, the eggs with change the color from white to black. Besides making porridge, it is good to eat with marinated ginger.

Let's back to the porridge, at first try..... I feel a lot of minced and small slices meat in the porridge, at first thought, i think it is scallops. As chinese culture, we like to use scallops to cook with porridge, it will make the porridge taste better. While eating, i feel very strong Roast duck taste in the porridge, but i do not see any roast duck meat. Finally, i found out that the so called "scallops" in the porridge is "Roast Duck Meat"..... What a surprise !!! i never see people cooking porridge with roast duck.... But the taste is quite nice..... The restaurant is selling others roast product as well like roast chicken, roast pork, and roast duck. I guess they uses the left over roast duck to make the porridge.

Price:
Porridge £5
YouTiao £1.20

Sweet and sour prawn

This is the best food among all the dishes. Well cook sweet and sour king prawn. But i am not sure it is thai food or not. As i know, sweet and sour would be chinese food. Anyway, it is taste good.

Pork with Garlic and Ground black pepper

Pork stir-fried with garlic and black pepper. No surprise for this !!!

Beef stir-fried with special sauce

Special sauce !!! I do not feel any special for this food. It is just normal.

2008-05-31T07:54:00.000-07:00

Duck King @ Petaling Jaya

After see some reviews of Restaurant Duck King at Cari Forum, i decided to have a try the food in this restaurant. As the name, Duck King is very famous with its duck. The most attractive food for me is the BeiJing Duck.

Restaurant Duck King

In china, BeiJing Duck can be separated to three dishes.

First is the Duck Skins will be wrapped with sweet sauce,spring onions, cucumber, and pancake .

Second, the duck meat will be stir fried with other ingredient to comes out a nice and tasty food.

Third, the bone of the duck will use to cook for a soup, and the soup will be used to cook with noodles. This is traditional BeiJing Duck.....

In Duck King, you can only find two type of the cooking. Which is the first and second one.

In Malaysia culture, eating Pan Mee must match together with homemade chili sauce. The chili sauce in this Pan Mee shop is too spicy and tasteless.

Chili Sauce

I order a Lime Juice for my meals. It is extremely sour until my eyes cannot open. It you are a sour lover, please try to order one.

Lime Juice

I feels quite disappointed with this shop. Luckily the original Pan Mee still acceptable. It still have a lot of variety of Pan Mee. I might need to try a fews times to figure out the rest of the taste.

Price:
1. Original Pan Mee = RM 4.50
2. Salted Wine Pan Mee = RM 6.80
3. Lime Juice = RM 3.00
4. Chinese tea = RM 0.60

My meals total is RM 14.90. The price is reasonable.

2008-05-09T21:40:00.000-07:00

Claypot Porridge at Restaurant Lucky

Besides Chee Cheong Fun, another popular food in Restaurant Lucky is the claypot porridge. Since the chee cheong fun is just an appertizer, it is good to order another food for breakfast. Normally i will choose claypot porridge.

Restaurant Lucky

There is Fish porridge, Seafood porridge and Frog porridge in Lucky. I like to order the fish porridge. They are using grouper as the fish for the porridge, it is nice and tasty. But bare in mind, do not order the Fish Porridge which using fish head. It will be full of bone in the porridge.

Fish Porridge

Lucky porridge is cook and serve with claypot. Claypot can keep the warmness of the porridge and make the porridge taste better when cooking. Most of the restaurant already not using claypot to cook porridge. Lucky porridge still maintain this traditional way.

Claypot for Fish Porridge

YouTiao is a must for porridge.

You Tiao

Price:

Side View of the Restaurant

Hainanese chicken rice (海南鸡饭) is a famous food in Malaysia. Almost all Malaysian will eat chicken rice once a week. But do you know that the name "Hainanese chicken rice" is created by Malaysian. Har...... Surprise !!!!! Everyone thought that the Hainanese chicken rice is from Hainan. Yope, it is true. The chicken rice is from Hainan, China. But they do not called it Hainanese Chicken Rice, they called Wen Changji (文昌鸡). Wen Changji is one type of chicken with origin from Hainan. I dont want to discuss more on Wen Changji, let go to food.

Hainanese Chicken

What so famous in Kedai Kopi Chung Wah (中华茶室). It is famous with Hainanese Chicken Rice Balls. What is that? It is just chicken rice which make the rice in a round shape. 5 tablets of chicken rice balls will make you full. Chung Wah kopitiam is the origin place for this chicken rice balls.

Hainanese Chicken Rice Balls

Chicken rice balls !!!! Sure you have to eat together with Hainanese chicken. The cutting for the chicken is terrible. You will lost appetite if you too focus on the chicken. The taste of the chicken is just normal. It is nothing special for the chicken.

All the best !!!!

Restaurant Sin Kar Hee

2008-05-06T20:17:00.000-07:00

Restaurant Sin Kar Hee is famous with its Poon Choi (盆菜), also known as Big Bowl Feast. What is Poon Choi? By rumors, in ancient of China, the richman like to show off and invite all the friends / relatives to his house to having dinners with a lot of good foods. At the end of the party, there will be a lot of left over food. Then the owner will use a wood basins to collect all the food and let the workers to have it.

Another versions is, Poon Choi actually invented in late Song Dynasty. No matter how, now Poon Choi is served in most of the chinese restaurant. Sin Kar Hee is one of them.

Poon Choi

Restaurant Sin Kar Hee Poon choi is the new style which having pork, fish, abalone, prawn, pig feet, vegetables, chicken, duck, and others food. After finish with the food, you can mix the sauce with some noodles (Yee Mian). It is tasty and nice.

Pork

Lotus

Prawn / Shrimp

There is two types of Poon Chooi in Restaurant Sin Kar Hee, one is RM 280++ and one is RM 400++ (Please call to confirm the price). The one i order is RM 280, which is quite nice and enough for 10 people.

Do they serve small portion of Poon Choi for less than 10 people? No. You have to find 8 to 10 people for this food. It is a good idea to have Poon Choi with all the friends during some festival celebration. Especially Chinese New Year.

Besides Poon Choi, you can order other chinese dishes as well. It is typically chinese restaurant, just it is famous with Poon Choi.
