Rubber food

Fussy M's order of flour vermicelli with oyster was best of all three dishes.  The oyster is fresh.  

The worst dish and great disappointment was mine order of German sausage !  I realised that that were some pieces of rubber bank in the sausage!! Wonder how much rubber bands I have eaten!!  Yucks!!!!! Felt like some rubber at my throat the whole afternoon.  Never to patronise this stall anymore!

Pumpkin soup with baked almond. Didn't see any almond but got some 'kacang'.  I just praised the Mr Soup's stall too soon in my previous blog ; the soup bowl has shrunk in size!!  Not worth the money anymore for RM6.20!!  Since "Mr. Soup" has merged with its neighouring stall and handled by its' neighour, bowl size has shrunk and the butter has also 'disappeared'.  The pumpkin soup was very sweet.  Wonder how is the mushroom soup taste like after the 'take-over'?  I will only give i t a try if I can confirm the portion first, or else not worth anymore!

Food Gallery @ Times Squre

Fussy M trying out the wantan  noodle with "char siu"

Love to stop by at the Food Gallery everytime we went for groceries shopping at Times Sq.  I didn't expect the food arcade quite a success due to its quiet surrounding.  The place is clean and comfortable and pricing is reasonable.  The place is very packed the first time I came here for dinner !  My favourite stall happens to be "Mr. Soup" and its mushroom soup is as good as LJ's Corner / Meezi and the price is much cheaper with larger portion.  Tomato soup is not bad and will try out the roasted pumpkin soup some day soon.  The rice/noodle stall's roast pork is not bad.  The stall also offers wantan and 'sui-kow' dumplings.   The wantan is not bad ; as good as my ex-favourite wantan noodle stall which is now at Carnavon Street. 

Anyway spoilt for too many choices here; be it Chinese food, Taiwanese, Siamese, Japanese, Korean, Western, Indonesian and local food ! 

Supper time!

After the 'Hor Fun' dinner, we strolled along the street to the junction between Cintra St and Campbell St. to stop at this new found favourite of mine!  I never like 'harm chun peng' since young but now I just love it!  Fussy M said this stall has been operating at the same spot since when she was a kid !  And the taste hasn't change much except for the size, of course !  I guessed this is the only place that we can still buy 'pak tong koh' alias steam rice cake.  Many of my friends' favourite dessert !

Chow @ Cintra Street

Saw this place when we had dinner at Ecco Cafe few months ago.  So cancel our plan to have home cooked dinner and visit this place for Hor Fun.  We ordered Hor Fun @ Yin Yeong and Ee Foo Mee.  Both of us agree that the Hor Fun taste better; enough 'wok qi'.

Dinner treat @ Rasa Sayang Hotel

A dinner treat given by another dept in conjunction of  their winning in a competition.  Reached the hotel a bit late, some of my colleagues have already started the 'mssion' since 6.30pm.  Although I knew of this famous hotel since I was young, I have never set foot here!  The place is huge and I found a bit eerily quiet when it is dark.  The spread of buffet is not as much as E&O but the 'quality' is there!  For many others, this is also their first time here after the renovation !

This is my first round.....Now, I know why some ppl love oyster!

I'll take that ALL!

Lost count of how many rounds...my favourite unangi !

My colleague's dessert (not mine!), can't take in anymore ! 

You see what I meant ; eerily quiet if alone !
