... my mum bought me this fried kuey teow. It got stuck to a cone shape because I woke up quite late before eating it.
... popia to complement the fried kuey teow.
Rating: 4.5/10
The taste of the fried kuey teow was actually quite nice, especially the soggy taste of banana leaves. If I had woke up earlier to eat it, it would’ve been much better and not to be use for slalom. On the other hand, the popia kinda sucked though.
... had fried rice for supper.
Rating: 2.0/10
My supposed dinner came late tonight. It ended up being my supper instead. I was dead hungry when the fried rice arrived. Though I didn’t pry open it immediately because I wasn’t expecting it to be nice. I guess I was right. Despite being so hungry, I couldn’t finish it and yeah, it wasn’t nice.
... my sister tapao'ed nasi kandar for me for lunch.
Rating: 4/10
I was so hungry today as it’s already was past lunch hours. I was waiting eagerly for my sister to come back with my lunch, a pack of nasi kandar, my hometown’s style. Unfortunately, they don’t have anything like “kuah campur” (mixed gravy) here. So it looked kinda plain cause it was only soaked in curry. The chicken wa acceptable, but I’d go for Saji anytime!
... the best snack during CNY.
Rating: 7/10
This was probably the best CNY snack for this year. I could eat it all day long. I didn’t really find out what it was, probably prawn or squid crackers. Anyway, the fish crackers can’t even come close.
... my parents got me nasi lemak for breakfast.
... and a few banana fritters as dessert.
Rating: 5.5/10
The nasi lemak was small in size but pretty decent. The coconut fragrance was strong especially in the sambal. The banana fritters served as a good dessert as well.
... and I had a dried meat after that. Hey, it's Chinese New Year, you gotta eat some of these.
I can’t resist having the dried meat that I took home from KV. Well, it’s CNY after all.
Stopped by KTZ for a drink before heading for dinner. My stomach was still feeling full, probably numbed from all the chili.
... jelly drink with sago in it.
Rating: 4/10
A mediocre drink with some jelly in it. It sounded nice from the menu but wasn’t what I expected. I thought it would’ve been sweeter.

... the signboard used was uncannily similar to that of Kin Kin's. Does it mean the panmee is cold?
... both me and EL had umbra juice. We laughed really loudly before coming to the conclusion of ordering umbra juice.
... the soup with vege in it. Not as good as Kin Kin's though.
... I don't think anyone can differentiate this from the original. Probably except for the colour of the bowl used.
... this is the key to the success and cloud 9 (hell's fury to some).
... I only put in 2.5 scoops, fearing that it might get out of control.
... these sui gao (水餃), you can't get them from Kin Kin though.
... looked spicy. Luckily it was red enough, otherwise I might've put in extra scoops.
... even the soup can't escape from the chili.

I’ve always wanted to try out the Kin Kin’s immitation chili panmee called Super Kitchen. The first outlet was opened at the opposite row of where Kin Kin was located. Every time I was there, I was reluctant to try out the fake one, fearing that I might regret it, since I’ve travelled so far. Later, I found out that Super Kitchen has quite a number of outlets throughout KV. I was glad to know that nearby my place, there’s an outlet in Kota Damansara.
So, today was my off day, me and EL went shopping. So I suggested to him to come give this immitation a try. The umbra juice was nothing to shout about. Not the best I’ve had. While the noodle. Well, the noodle was very similar in texture and taste as compared to the original one. Somehow, the chili was not as good as the original one. I suspect it was the lack of crab meat/shell in it. I was told by a friend that Kin Kin used crushed crab meat and shell in their chili, thus the unique taste and fragrance.
I would say, the clone stand out pretty close to the original one. The price was a bit higher though. Not sure if Kin Kin has raised its price. I’ve never been there for so long. I guess being a clone wasn’t that bad, especially you are innovative. They even serve extra stuff which Kin Kin doesn’t provide. Aside from that, you don’t have to look at the snobbish boss of Kin Kin and get kicked out of the shop after you’ve finished your food.

... cendol with nice gula melaka.
Rating: 7/10
After our dinner at BBQ Chicken, we promptly went to PappaRich for cendol. It’s my favourite cendol in KV because others just not that nice. I just found out that it’s the 3rd time EL visited PappaRich within a week (7 days) time! He should be rewarded the best customer award.

... my soup came with my set meal. Pretty good, but not as good as Nando's though, lacking the peri-peri sauce.
... side order of golden chicken strips.
... my set meal with Hot-Hot drumstick, golden strip, rice and coleslaw.
Rating: 5.5/10
HBP EL said, it’s fine to eat BBQ Chicken because they are healthy. In fact, I believe he was quoting me. It’s all thanks to the olive oil in it. This time, they didn’t screw up and serve us something with ants in it. Somehow, the chili sauce tasted fucked up. I’ll keep in mind not to touch their chili sauce next time.
... some call this the 6-type. But there were only 4-type in it, which include the liquid as well.
... this plate of clams were courtesy of uncle.
... fried rice's best friend. My best friend too.
... oh no! My sunny side up egg was punctured.

Today was the first time bringing Kuma to eat here. After the lunch, she was so happy that we get a complimentary clams that she wanted to come again the next day. My reply: “Crazy!”
