MalCui – Discovery in Ipoh Part 1

MalCui – Discovery the Ipoh Origin of Dim Sum

Chinese have never missed out the Dim Sum as their breakfast in the morning, well if you happen to reach Ipoh in the early morning, please try to make yourself way to this restaurant for a delicious Dim Sum.

富士 (Fuji) Dim Sum restaurant – offering more than 100 choices and is hardly one time for us to try every single dim sum, well I guess I have to make my way again for second and third time.

Recommendation of Dim Sum;

马来糕 (Malay Cake) and 大容饱 (Da Rong Paw), master chef Chan Kam highly recommended that must try this 2 dim sum, because the taste is so unique compare with other Dim Sum restaurant.

马来糕 (Malay Cake) and 大容饱 (Da Rong Paw) - recommended by master chef Chan Kam.

Wide variety of Dim Sum serving, some can be familiar in KL Dim Sum restaurant.

Wow...fish ball, i love it...

What my stomach said:

Fascinating, delicious dim sum and the ambience of pure Chinese environment, but the crowd of people are massive. Please if you going to try this in Ipoh, please make yourself early to queue up….especially in Saturday and Sunday.

Beside, I have to apologize for those non pork eater people, major dim sum are make of pork meat, but minor are make from fish meat paste or chicken meat.

Well, it was too many that I can introduce, please if you happen to drop by Ipoh for a day trip, please schedule your trip early for dim sum in Ipoh.

MalCui – 3 Star Western Cuisine with 2 Star Price

MalCui – A Little Love Bite of Western Cuisine Part 1


Don’t ask me how to hook up this western restaurant, most of my friend ask me what can a normal western restaurant can cook for a delicious western food?

Well I guess I have to introduce this to you, for the non-ordinary western food with middle range of price.


The Cestestoe Café and Restaurant have make my foot step stop here, let’s me guide you to few main course and other side dishes;

Hawaiian Grilled Chicken with BBQ sauce – a pineapple as topping with the BBQ sauces grilled chicken breast meat, 3 little mashed potato and mixed fried vegetable is a combination that you can’t find in any other ordinary western restaurant.

Premium Sausages with Onion Gravy and Mashed potato – this is not enough to fill up my hungry stomach, well the sausages was a taste bite with meaty filling together with the heavy gravy (I love to taste this with bread).

Roasted White Fish with Smoked Bacon – for lady on diet, this was a choice. But I don’t really buy this because it just simply can’t fill up my stomach. It’s a great taste….lady will love it (a bit expensive RM 29.90)



Middle East Tandoori Chicken –middle East?? I have no idea what a middle east cuisine taste like, the chicken is marinated with herbs and spices and baked in oven I guess…but taste good with herbs and spices…but I like gravy food…..

Pork Chop Minty Apply Sauce – pork chop?? Well this is non Halal restaurant, I hardly find pork chop western food in malaysia, this was my first choice. You need to bite hard and chew for the meat, the Minty Apply Sauce have mixed with meat and give you a sensation of great taste (RM 18.90).

Chicken Cordon Bleu – I guess this was famous for those who taste before; well I found this was nothing special, unless you are cheese lover (RM 20.90).

English Roast Chicken with Turmeric Sauces – ha, this was something I love to try, chicken with slow roast in oven (30 minutes minimum to serve), it was worth for waiting to taste the chicken. The sauce topping have 3 options to chose, great taste (RM 19.90).

English Chicken Pie-Pot (Scoop Pie) – simply yet you can taste any way of middle and upper class restaurant.

Middle Easr BBQ Stick – Chicken Tikka Turk, Iranian Lamb Kebab, Shrimps and Mustard Seeds.

Curry Chicken with Premium Baguette – well, curry lover can try this as your light meal before you take any heavy meal. Great enjoy together with cold beverages.

What my stomach said:
Ha…from now on, I never ever said a ordinary western restaurant is bore to order with limited choices. This restaurant has lots of variety and gravy for their main courses…sound sad that I have to put on weight.

But, if you looking for a commercial western food pricing, please make yourself a turn back, this restaurant was not a cheap consumer place, price is middle range.

How to eat:
I guess you need to drop for more than 1 time to slowly discover the foods, is simply like you treasure a Pandora food Box.

MalCui – Have any tried this type of Clay Pot “Mice” Noodles?

MalCui – What you guess is inside this Clay Pot??

I was surprise when my fren bring me to try this Clay Pot “Mice” Noodles near by Serdang area. Normally what we eat is minced pork meat black tick sources with fresh egg on top.

Well, look at the picture I snapped…you won believe is what we call Clay Pot “Mice” Noodles, with white sources, mushroom, and some kind of deep fried crunchy pork fat with salted fish together as topping.

Second, we usually order vegetable when we eat outside. Why? Simple…to taste a good chef kung fu is to taste the most simple and yet normal dishes. This fried vegetable is superb cook…well it does manage reserve the freshness after cooked.

One of my love dishes, fried deer meat with Chinese onion, this was very well cooked with tick sources, mouth watering each time you put a meat inside your mouth.

Lastly, deep fried home made crispy tofu – yet a simple dishes but great taste to try, I guess kids will love it.

What my stomach said:
Overall, was fascinating to me…such a normal appearance restaurant have such well cook Chinese cuisine. I believe what my parents told – don’t judge a book by its cover.

This 4 dishes I order is yet simple for any one who order before…but is difficult for a chef handle well to cook such a above standard dishes.

I have stop to this restaurant for more than 2 times but each time is order 2 people serving, cant taste all in a short period of time.


How to eat:
Simple…eat while serving hot! Mix the Clay Pot “Mice” Noodles with the crunchy topping; try the fried vegetable in hot serving. The deer meat is a little salty but is good serve with the noodle, and finally the fried crispy tofu can slowly taste when you had the 3 serving after.

I only manage to take the noodles scene as the heavy rain was block my phone camera talking a clear picture (using N70) for the stall appearances (guess should upgrade to SonyEricsson K800 with 3.2 pixel camera).

MalCui Pudu Wai Sek Kai I – What is this? Local Cawanmushi???

Local Cawanmushi at Pudu Wai Sek Kai???



Some where near by the pudu selera makan (in Cantonese), you will find a cuisine paradise there….but don’t expect to be 1 star clean environment (you know what I mean).




Basically, just like Cawanmushi but is purely make of eggs with milk which is sweet, used to sell fast and after 7.30pm or 8pm all habis.





I able to take 1 scene snap shot with my N70, still early around 7pm, not that crowded..but you will be amaze after 9pm..always full house.

The curry “Chee Cheong Fun” is also famous dishes and selling fast…next time I will intro if I have the chances to drop by.

How to eat:
Enjoy while still warm and hot, taste great…..

Location:
Near by Pudu majistret – used to call pudu selera makan (wai sek kai).

MalCui – One of the famous Chao Kuey Teow in Tong Sing road

Tong Shin Fried Kuey Teow - Just Kuey Teow without yellow noodles


I guess most of you working in KL city golden triangle area have come across this stall for their famous Chao Kuey Teow.



Simple stall with 2 chef, one for Chao Kuey Teow and another for Fried rice….well don’t be surprise..their fried rice taste great as well..but my objective is to taste the noodles no rice for this time (sorry).


What my stomach said:

Taste good and great with lots of ingredient inside, you won be disappointed like other stalls wan to cut cost. For me, I order a small size which is allow full my stomach and I have it quickly before the noodle get cold. Simply great for taste and money….can has a try if you happen to drop near by Jln Alor.

How to eat:
I advices try to finish the noodle before get cold while still heating…but beware of the heat that burn your mouth.

Location:
Behind Jln Alor, corner stall…don’t complain why each time I didn’t give you exact address…please get a little adventure spirit to hunt the tasty food.

MalCui – Chicken Hot Pot

Eating chicken can be never boring any more?!

First, I would like to apologize before letting you all continue reading this blog, as I LUPA take the restaurant front picture.

Further more, I have accidentally deleted a very precious picture – Amber Chia is sitting next by my side while I enjoying my meal….Sigh so careless….(the picture show unclear - Amber Chia)

Well, I manage to capture few scene shot of the restaurant…not pretty much impressed by the ambiance.

You will be amaze that Chicken Hot Pot is a chain restaurant in China and Malaysia consider a new step for them. Those pictures show their outlet in China.

But just thinking in my mind what have make this restaurant so unique that attract Amber Chia to give a try….
(You will be amaze by the dine in people walk in one by one)

Introduce this Chicken Hot Pot – its similar with Nando’s Chicken Concept which have 3 option for customer to choose from non spicy, mid spicy and hot spicy, for those spicy lover…you may found your mate beside Nando’s.
(This is Chicken Hot Pot - recommended to try)



With similar herbs and spices, they provide beef, pork ribs and fish head varieties….but unfortunate I cant take all at once, thus I only order their main Chicken Hot Pot with mid spicy and beef with mid spicy.
(This is Beef Hot Pot - ok for me)

What my stomach said:
When serving you can see the meat sizzling inside the Hot Pot, the waiter light up candle at the bottom pot to maintain the sizzling sound and maintain the heat, is similar like we having steamboat.

How to eat:
This was the main concern that have come to my thought, while serving in hot sizzling pot, the sources will erupt and make the meat and vegetables more sticky with the sources, it’s very nice serving with rice but beware of its hot.

The amazing part is they allow you to add soup with 2 choices – plain soup (with chicken extract) and spicy soup, now the pot is full or half full with the soup, let the pot boil for a while….now you can either add in side order vegetable that you prefer. It's become steamboat with thick sources….is totally different taste from the beginning and at the end….is a new experience that I never ever taste before.

Little history of this Chicken Hot Pot:
They claim this Chicken Hot Pot is invent by a western cuisine master – Simon Blaze when he is travel to Szechwan in China, and later partnership with 2 people JR & Leo to modified the spicy and herbs combination.

Location:
21, jln kuchai maju 8, off jln kuchai lama, tmn entrepreneurs park, tel: 03-7980 6008.
(The new phase of office and shop lot Combination Park)


A little speech from my heart:
Is a good try for something new and for spicy lover…but not much variety to choose, the price is reasonable.

MalCui – Halo Café in Tmn Connaught

MalCui – Halo Café in Tmn Connaught “ Should I introduce this place for you?? "

Never heard before this Halo Café located just in front of USCI or Taman Connaught??

Well nothing special to share about this Café as I happened to meet a friend and we decide to mark this significant place for our meet up.

As I took few scene shot when I arrive a bit early, basically the Halo Café ambiance quite comfortable and immediately make me link with fascinating F & B they provide….

Ha, you will never believe when I decide to take an order while waiting my friend to reach, it seem they don’t provide certain hot beverage like other Halo Café outlet that I like most – tea series, sigh…what a joke! (They claim they are small outlet and not fully provide all the F & B in the menu, do you believe?)

Finally, we can order our main course and the choices seem not pretty much make me feel good about it.

My friend ordered - Tom Yam Meehon. This was something that make me forget my serving and pay attention on this, taste was good (compare with my) and it was spicy enough to burn your mouth.

This is what I ordered – Yam fried rice with fish fillet, I have no comment about this serving, because I can’t find a good words to described it (Guess you all get my meaning)

At last, we didn’t stay long as we expected, we end our meeting when we finish our meal because we can’t find any reason to stay longer.

A little speech from my heart:

Halo Café – a name that most of us know and familiar, it’s famous for live band or singer performance (now you can get many other similar café with Halo Café concept in town).

I can’t foresee any good excuse for me to linger another second time (singer performance doesn’t impressed me) and we simply pay for the high price with the average F & B quality.

I don’t mind paying the premium if the F & B, ambiance and the singer performance is fascinating my mind and my stomach, agree?!

My spending concept is every dollar out of my pocket must have a reason and value of worth.

MalCui – Fish Head Meat Meehon Soup

One of the nice Fish Head Meat Meehon Soup in Cheras Area


I guess this will be a difficult issue for people who stay far from Cheras, this delicious Fish Meat Meehon Soup found in one of the resident area in Cheras – Taman Bukit Anggerik (well I will provide more significant land mark).

I accidentally try this Fish Meat Meehon Soup when my stomach calls for hunger as I on my way to meet a client. While, I was fascinating why people queuing outside the stalls for some reason (around morning)… it takes my curiosity to drop by and give a try. (Its take me 30 minutes for my food to reach my mouth)


This bowl of Fish Meat Meehon some how take me 30 minutes to arrive, and it takes less than 20 minutes to empty.


Combination of this delicious Fish Meat Meehon is simply with deep fried Fish Meat (a lot of torn – children beware), tomatoes, salted vege, ginger, fried onions, and some herbs. The soup has the mixture of condense milk and Chinese wine, and the soup real ingredient I can’t define – perhaps this is called the secret of business.






I have a chance to drop by second time for some reason; it was around 3-4pm in afternoon Saturday. Surprisingly, it takes less then 10 minutes for me to taste the food again…

Beside the Fish Meat Meehon stall, there is stall selling porridge which have a high demand on it, while I cant take another after the delicious Fish Meat Meehon soup have completely fill up my hunger stomach with no room left…..sigh



What my stomach said:

Well, it was such long times I haven’t try Fish Meat Meehon around in neither K/L nor P/J, because it’s simply don’t impress me for a try.

Finally, I guess I have to find myself stuck in this lovely stall for a period of time, please don’t be shock paying RM5 for small bowl (big) and RM7 for big bowl (giant), as I so much regret order big bowl and cause my stomach no room for my dinner.

In cheras, you can find anonymous delicious foods but until now I have not found any that can direct compare to this….if anyone of you can raise there is better Fish Meat Meehon, please feel free for sharing….
