KY eats - Nasi Briyani at Myanmar
That's right ladies and gentlemen, they serve nasi briyani at Yangon, Myanmar. With a little ASEAN geographical knowledge you'd know that it is just natural. Myanmar borders with India and Bangladesh to it's west.
It actually tastes alot better than it looks
This particular nasi briyani place (they spell it nasi biryani) is located down the next turning from Traders hotel in Yangon. While there are quite a few nasi briyani restaurants there, you can't miss the place, it is always the one with the most customers.
The rice is served with a single piece of 1/4 chicken. Since this is Myanmar, a highly unindustrilized country, we get real tender kampung type of chicken. It was awesome. A small bowl of soup and some fresh lettuce accompanied the meal. We ordered some extra gravy too. Except for the soup tasting a little too salty, the meal was very good. Easily better than most all of the nasi briyani served by mamaks here in Malaysia.
Drinks is a little bit tricky, the drinking water came in a bottle that looks like those we use for car battery, so that was a bit odd, to the tune that my friend brought two bottles back to Malaysia. The local Star "coke" was pretty bad, do not feel too compell to try it.

KY eats - Poppi Seed Pancake
Poppi Seed Pancake, Yum
First off, no, I don't know where you can find this in Malaysia. I had this pancake in Yangon, Myanmar while on a business trip. I don't even know if it's legal here.
The composition of the pancake is pretty much the same as ordinary pancakes we get around here, with one addition - lotsa poppi seeds laced on top. Initially I was a bit wary of consuming it, but after some reassurance from my colleage who is also a medical doctor from Myanmar, I gave it a go.
The stuff tastes like any pancake, but just amazingly better. It was good, you could feel the texture of the seeds in your mouth, crushed between your teeth. A different aroma mixed up with your saliva and it all goes down smoothly in a somewhat sweetie taste. Did I tell you it was good?
That plate was supposed to be shared by 6 people, but I ate about half of it. hee-hee
Give me some more!
p/s: there are rumours that certain famous nasi kandar house cook their curry with poppi seeds to add to the taste.

KY saw - Don't Do This at Petrol Station
While filling up the tank yesterday at a petrol station near Ara Damansara, I saw for the first time what Galvin said he's done before - Driving off with the petrol dispenser.
So this dude in a Proton Saga filled up his tank, and without putting back the dispenser, he decided to simply drive off. Perhaps it was an attempt to test the effectiveness of the anti-stupid-driver mechanism that the petrol station has fortunately set up.
The connector of the dispenser to the kiosk immediately snap off and the safety valve went to work without spilling any petrol, by design. The dispenser was now stuck to his car, the dude heard some dragging sound and decided to stop and investigate. You should look at his eyes when he found out what he did.
I was quick enough to snap this two pictures while laughing my ass off at the same time.
Petrol station worker wondering how dumb this guy could be
OMG it's too high for me to connect this back.

Kim's Birthday, Suan's Ikea Bowl
Kim's Birthday
So I was at Myanmar, checking my email and found out there's a party at my house on the coming saturday several hours after my scheduled flight back to KL. That was kinda interesting, but since it was for Kim's birthday, it was all good. Kim posted about it, and Suan has a gallery here.
The party was fun, but too bad Kim herself spent the least amount of time awake. Before she left the house, I was fortunate enough to snap this picture with my phone. (digicam's memory card went dead)
How lovely, everyone who celebrated birthday at my place ended up doing this.
Suan's Ikea Bowl
and how she feels so at home there.
So I went to the Ikea sales with FA and Suan on Sunday. I bought 4 pieces of dining chairs that match my dining table and were on sales. When I initially bought the dining table, it was on sales too but the chairs weren't. Sneaky Ikea never anticipated that a guy would buy the table and then wait for half a year for the chairs.
FA bought some magic markers and colorful straws. I stopped her from buying the milk carrier thingy.
Suan wanted to get a blue bowl, so she took one and put it in the bag. 15 minutes later FA found out that the bowl was the sample, you know, the one you're not supposed to check out cos it's attached with some extra descriptions and such? So suan ran back and got another while FA and I waited 10 minutes for her.
Few minutes later, as we were looking at some bookends, Suan decided to drop a stainless steel bookend on the bowl, and managed to chip it. So we had to wait another 10 minutes as she went to get the 3rd blue bowl.. I'm giving her 2 weeks before she destroy it anyway.
Ikea encouraged you to try their furniture in the store before you buy them. I didn't know they meant sleeping in their bed like this..
Lucky I'm not related to this woman.

KY eats - Butterworth Loh Mee
Whenever anyone talks about Penang food, we always refer to the island. However, there are still some hidden gems on the other side of Penang Bridge, Butterworth. The Lean Gaik Hokkien Mee House at Chai Leng Park is one of such places.
Slurps
The distinction between Hokkien Mee (better known as Prawn Mee in KL) and Loh Mee is the soup. Loh Mee uses the thick and heavy soup made with lotsa flour, while Hokkien Mee comes with somewhat clear soup.
This kopitiam serves both Hokkien Mee and Loh Mee but nothing else. What sets this establishment apart from the others is the variety of "extras" you can add in to your particular bowl of noodle. Including roast pork, pork ribs, pork leg, mantis shrimp, prawn, fish ball, and hard boiled egg.
I had the Loh Mee with rosted pork and pork ribs added. Would have preferred mantis prawn but they ran out of those. The also have chili paste and garlic on the table, saves you the trip to the stall to ask for more if you're a chili happy person, or if u're like Galvin the Chow Ah Beng who can't have enough garlic.
While it might not be the absolute best Loh Mee that I had (there's a stall nearby the old temple in Penang that I thought was better), it was certainly still very very good, especially with the extra ingredients you can add. I would recommend it to anyone who eats non-halal food.

KY eats - Penang Char Kuih Teow
Many of us cannot deny that the best hawker food in this world are found in Penang, the pearl of the orient. While there are variety of offerings, I have decided to introduce you the most talked about penang dish of all - Char Kuih Teow.
There are two acclaimed Char Kuih Teow places in Penang and they are situated only about 1 kilometer from each other. The Macalister Road Sister's Char Kuih Teow, also known as the 5-junction Char Kuih Teow, and the other that is situated at Lorong Selamat.
Personally I go for the one at Macalister Road simply for the fact that the Lorong Selamat aunty has been way too arrogant and over her head. You have to wait at the stall under the searing sun, sometimes up to half an hour, to serve yourself that plate of Char Kuih Teow. That is too much trouble I'm willing to spend just to save the stall owner RM 30 bucks hiring a helper a day.
Here's a typical plate of Sister's Kuih Teow. Served on a piece of banana leaf, with bean sprouts, egg, huge prawns, and topped with some awesome crab meat. Try some when you are in Penang next time!
You drolling yet?
Here's Lorong Selamat's stall, you can see those desperate dudes lining up under the sun to self-serve their kuih teow. I'm not doing that.
An interesting trivia: rumours have it that the sisters used to be "working girls" when they were young. Luck was on their side that when their bodies aren't desirable anymore, their cooking skills came to the rescue.

KY eats - Isetan Sushi
Alot of us sushi lovers don't get to eat sushi as often as we like due to the fact that these stuff are pricey. And any self respecting sushi connoisseur would not step into Sushi King or Genki Sushi. Those places use pre-molded rice and pre-cut fish that aren't terribly fresh. The outer part of the rice also gets dried up, making the texture left to be desired. Last but not least, those places only create an illusion of economic sushi, they certainly aren't cheap at all considering the quality of stuff you get.
Enter Isetan
Aren't these YUMMY?
Now most of the stuff they sell at this 'prestige' Japanese departmental store aren't cheap, or even average. However, much to my delight when I started working at KLCC, their sushi is priced very reasonably, and I would say even cheaper than Jusco and Cold Storage. They carry a wide selection too.
You get Amaebe for RM 1.50, Salmon for RM 1, Tuna for RM 0.75, Scallope for RM 1.50 (where else do you find single peace scallope?), Surf Clam for RM 1.50. They sell some bento too. The stuff is fresh, and 7 pieces of sushi fitting nicely in a disposable plastic container usually costs me less than RM 10. A good choice for light lunch.
I tarpau from there so often I have a bottle of soya sauce in the office. If you don't have the luxury of working there, you can always tarpau and then eat at the food court at 2nd or 4th floor.
10 bucks for fresh and good sushi with a good selection, what more could you ask for?

KY eats - Vietnamese Ice Cream & Coffee
Now that you've read about my entries on Vietnamese meals here and here, it's time to move on to the desserts.
Now, I'm not really a huge fan of ice cream, but everytime I came back from Vietnam, my mom had always asked me "So have you had the coconut ice cream yet?" This was my 5th trip to the city, and I thought what better time than now to try it?
Coconut Ice Cream in a.. coconut, of course!
The toppings are dried logan, nuts, and that rolled up bakery thing. Fresh strawberry and grapes on the side, too. You eat some ice cream, you mix it up with some fresh coconut meat, man, this you gotta try it for yourself. It was sweet and it was great! Nevermind I had to drink about 3 glasses of water later.
Vietnamese Coffee, really black
Vietnam is also famous for it's coffee. They come really thick and black, and they come pretty sweet too. What you see in the picture isn't a half filled glass cos I drank some, it was how it came. Really thick that you can't possibly drinking a full glass without instantly having caffien overdose. Starbucks & Coffeebean ain't got nothing on Vietnamese Coffee, and it's way cheaper too.
Oh yeah, I had to drink another few glasses of water to clear my throat and tongue. hehe

KY eats - Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup, Pho
You gotta love this stuff!
Well, after showing you boys and girls my cooking prowess here, here, and here. I'll let you in some exotic stuff that I myself haven't master yet. Introducing Pho, pronounced as "fe-er", or Vietnamese beef noodle soup.
The ingredients (as best I can tell)
- Beef brisket, sliced meat, tendon, beef balls, or other beef parts
- onion
- spring onion
- basil leaves, jalapeno peppers, lemon, and lightly boiled beans sprout on the side
- rice noodle
- awesome beef soup with some herbs and stuff I seriously have no idea
I had the pho in my must-visit restaurant everytime I go to Ho Chi Minh City. It is located at District 1 and situated just behind the Renaissance Riverside Hotel. Here at Kuala Lumpur you can go to 1-U new wing and try it at the Vietnam Kitchen restaurant. However, the local pho doens't do justice to what you can find at HCMC.
A satisfied customer. Total bill was about RM 8.00

KY can cook - KY Style Awesome Indomie
KY Style Indomie, looks awesome, no?
Following the popular Kung Pao Chicken and Fried Pomphret Fish, I've decided to teach you a simpler dish that mere mortals can cook up. Now I am sure many of you are able to prepare a pack of Indomie, but does it taste better than KY's version?
This dish is simple as simple can be, prefect for the college kitchen and the lazy singles.
The Ingredients:
- A packet of Indomie, or two if you're really hungry, or if you're ST
- An egg
- 2 crab sticks, you can also subsitute this with prawn or fishball
- 1 onion
- some garlic
- 2 dried mushroom
- Boil up the water and start cooking your Indomie, throw in the dried mushrooms
- While you are boiling the noodle, cut up the crab stick, onion, and garlic
- Take out the mushroom after a minute or so, and cut it up to thin slices
- Now heat up the pans and start frying the ingredients while mixing Indomie sauce with some hot water in a small bowl
- When the noodle's ready, throw it in, stir, and add in the premixed sauce
- Add egg, shake some soya sauce to it
- Serve and be happy after another few minutes of frying
These are all the ingredients
Stirfry the onion, garlic, crab sticks, and mushroom first
By the way I haven't gotten any emails yet, start sending me emails, hot chicks!

KY can cook - Kung Pao Chicken
This is how the KY's Kung Pao Chicken looks like, yum!
Just read Peter Tan's blog on his Chiken Kurma. Not to be outdone, I'm going to talk about my Kung Pao Chicken here.
You see, yours truely does not only build pond his own pond (with lotsa help of course), but cooks too. If you are a hot chick digging guys who can cook, please email me your resume, preferrably with photos and body measurements. Thanks.
Now lets get back to the Kung Pao chicken. The recipe is from a combination of mom's advice, over the shoulder peeping at local kopitiam chef, and 4.5 years of intense experimentation while I was at the States.
The ingredients:
- Chicken - portion according to the size of your stomach
- Dried Red Chilli and Fresh Chilli Padi - portion according to the sensitivity of your tongue
- Shallots (small onions) - portion according to how often you want to fart
- Ginger - few slices
- Garlic - you can never go wrong with adding garlic in anything Chinese
- Parsley - for decorative purposes
- Soy Sauce, Salt, Dark Soy Sauce - according to taste
- Heat up the oil till it's like damn hot
- Throw in the sliced ginger and chopped garlic, then run away as the oil sparks everywhere
- Throw in the shallots, in wedges or in whole, if they're small
- Throw in the chillis
- Throw in the chicken, fry for a couple minutes
- Add in the mixture of your premixed sauce consist of the 3 items mentioned above
- Fried till chicken is cooked
- Serve with parsley on the top
The chicks digging it, too
