KL food and friends

My memories of food and friends ......

Dinner with Capt Chow and Eunice + Mirazo @ Subang Jaya SS15. The drink of choice with Chow nowadays is The Famous Grouse ..... @ RM65/bottle, great value.

After dinner we go to Little Bally - a cozy bar/pub/bistro nearby with pleasant live music. It is breezy and we are in shorts and sipping beer.

I am showing off the t shirt I am wearing that night with the Rocket logo. This makes Capt. Chow a happy man. He is a huge supporter of change for the better. Where I got that t shirt is another story.

The very last evening in KL we decide to go back to that same favorite SJ restaurant and have 2 large plates of steamed eggs, hokkien mee, kankung belacan, and "salted fish fried with pork belly" .....

Smooth, light, eggy steamed egg dish. Light soy sauce on top and some cooked oil + chopped spring onion. Beautiful.

I obviously enjoy the food very much, and feeling tired as it shows on my face.  It' the end of my trip, after all. Looking forward to going back to "normality".

On a Thursday morning Chow, Miraz and I travel to Seremban (on my recommendation) to eat the famous Stall 748 Pasar Besar's Seremban Beef Noodle, Stall 810's Hakka Mee, and Haji Shariff's Cendol.

Stall 748 Beef Noodle. One of its kind and kopi. Blissful and filling. It's worth the side trip.

We only order one bowl of Hakka Mee to share as we have already had our beef noodle.

Morning breakfast one day with Miraz of CKT in Subang Jaya near to Olives Residences.

Friday 弟弟 and I go for a movie (Cold War) at KLCC but before that we meet up with Julie and Ellie @ FM. We decide to have lunch at Original Kayu Nasi Kandar at Aman Suria Damansara thinking that we can eat our favorite roti canai and J has a strong yearning for it.

SM will be disappointed to know that we cannot get roti canai there before 3pm at this outlet like we used to..... The nasi kandar is not bad and we get to enjoy sharing the fried/grilled sotong, fried fish, chicken masala(?), and a mutton dish. Ellie tells me that she brought RM100 worth of KFC back to Flores during a recent trip back to her kampung and her relatives who met her at the airport were more thrilled by the KFC than her. He he he.

I later on googled and found out that the airport is located in Maumere. There is at least one flight daily from Denpasar (Bali) to Maumere.

It took the welcoming party and Ellie 4 hours to walk back to their kampung.......

Lunch before a movie (Silent Hill; lousy movie) on Saturday with Chai Yun and Miraz at Din Tai Fung, Mid Valley/Gardens. It is raining cats and dog. We hide in the comfort of the Mall.

The Xiao Long Bao @ DTF is superb, better than the ones SM and I had in Taipei. It's steaming hot, and the pastry is excellent. The special fried rice is .... special. The Siew Mai is not so great, the pastry is a little thick and the prawn, overcooked . The service is efficient as is the norm with any DTF outlet.

Sunday night I am back in Oz. The trip goes by quickly. I also manage to call a few friends when I am at the airport waiting for my flight home that I am not able to meet this trip; Raymond Chen, Phang, Yeo and Mun Teng. 

It is an early morning start on Sunday for me. By 6.30am Miraz has sent me to Sentral to catch an ERL to KLIA. By 7.30am I am already at the Premier Lounge sipping a latte and eating a banana cup cake.It is not hurried, calm, nice.

Thanks also to Mitch and Khoo and Kee Mun for the meals and times we shared although I did not get to take some photos with them for remembrance. And I did not even meet up with my STOBA friends for a drink or get together as I thought it would be inconvenient for them to arrange a gathering given a short notice.
