... asam laksa in yellow noodle. My favourite choice.
... DL's seafood kari laksa.
Rating: 5/10
Unlike the asam laksa I had the previous time, the soup in my asam laksa today was very salty today. The taste was not bad, especially I had mine in yellow noodle. DL commented that his seafood kari laksa was very well worth it, because there were 5 prawns in it, for only RM12.90.

... the first time I had Milo shake here was many years ago, introduced by a friend whom stays in Setapak.
... the famous special porridge. It was published on newspapers so many years ago.
... nasi lemak bungkus. A brand that I've never had.
... this nasi lemak has soggy anchovies, but the chili was very spicy.
Rating: 6/10
The porridge was pretty much the same as last time, except this time, the pepper was free. The last time I had it, it wasn’t as spicy. Then this time, where were carrot slice in it too. DL was complaining about porridge having carrot in it. The Milo shake kosong has added sugar in it. I dunno what’s wrong with the guy’s hearing. The nasi lemak was very ordinary. DL was chomping down 1 pack, I was licking my lips because I wanted to eat too, but trying hard not to, because he was having the one with “Jun” brand. The brand which I had once too many. Then I realised this was another brand, hence I… was tempted.

... my bowl of cendol has abundance of green cendol jelly.
... barely visible brown sugar.
Rating: 4/10
After having asam laksa, we went for dessert. The famous cendol stall in Penang Road. There were 2 stalls opposite to each other, but the stall was basically swatting flies busy. I’ve had this many years ago. It seems, the taste doesn’t change much, if I recalled correctly. The lacked of fragrance from the brown sugar made this cendol rather Plain Jane. Give me Nancy’s Kitchen’s cendol anytime, or even PappaRich’s will do.

Wanted to come to this place on Monday evening, but I have already had my dinner when ALGJ told me about the nice nasi lemak. Seeing that I could spot a good opportunity today, right after my company’s training. I went there with KKMS. Ordered the minced pork nasi lemak as recommended by ALGJ to give it a try.
... huge signboard by the wall.
... nasi lemak with minced pork, as recommended by ALGJ.
Rating: 6.5/10
The sambal of the nasi lemak was a little bit sweetened but it was quite nice though. Unfortunately, it just feel a bit odd having minced pork in nasi lemak as it’s a Malay dish. It wasn’t cheap either, costing around RM7.90 each. I guess I’ll go plain on my next visit when I’m nearby and need a quick nasi lemak fix.

Wanted to have porridge with salted fish, but Koon Kee ran out of salted fish and my favourite dishes. So I suggested something else instead. While walking along the corridor, we came to this shop.
... iced barley. According to AC, at least it's not powder form.
... take the rice off a nasi lemak and replace with turmeric rice rice, there you go.
... this kaya bread was not toasted. 1 of the many variety of kaya/butter breads and/or toasts.
... AC was having breakfast set on our dinner together.
... passion fruit which doesn't taste like passion fruits at all.
Rating: 5/10
Turmeric rice was acceptable. It has good glutinous rice taste in it. The sambal wasn’t salted as I wished it was, because of how it seemed like. The anchovies not my favourite kind either. Though, the whole effort of wrapping the rice with pandan leaves was commendable. Passion fruits mix was rather disappointing because it doesn’t taste like passion fruits. Though there were plenty of nata de coco for me to chew on. Otherwise, I would’ve chew on the boss’ head for coming out with such fake tasting drink.

... mee rebus.
... my favourite mamak's rojak.
I was still very full from finish my big pack of nasi kandar. I had only a little bit of the rojak. Somehow, it doesn’t taste as good. Probably because I was already feeling glutton.

... fried chicken for us while waiting for mee jawa.
Rating: 5/10
Fried chicken wasn’t too bad. The fragrance was too good for our patience. We had to order 1 while I was waiting for my mee jawa. Though the meat was a bit dried but the crispy skin was nice.
... I was told that this mee jawa was nice. Decided to give it a try since this place was on the way home.
Rating: 4/10
The mee jawa was kinda sucked. The noodle tasted like alkaline and the whole thing tasted weird to me.

... unable to track down the supposedly nice nasi lemak, so I settled for any 1 of the stalls there.
Rating: 5/10
A self-service nasi lemak stall. Imagine the amount of anchovies you could put in. Unfortunately, I can’t have too many of it. Taste was pretty normal, quite similar to my breakfast yesterday. But still not quite like the 1 I had when I was in high school’s age.

... from the place where my favourite nasi lemak used to be, 10 years back.
... mum said, the curry here was nice because it has plenty of lemongrass in the soup.
Rating: 5/10
This place was where I found my favourite nasi lemak in my little hometown. But that was more than 10 years back. I seldom have it because I had to wake up really early to eat and I was too lazy to wake up for nasi lemak. Today, I come again to reminisce back the good tasting nasi lemak. Unfortunately, the sambal wasn’t how I remembered. It no longer taste good like it used to. I was told by my neighbour auntie that the nasi lemak has another outlet in Speedy field’s eatery, but she didn’t specifically told me which stall. That outlet there was spicier and nicer as she claimed. Perhaps I came to the wrong place today.

... a tribute to Michael Jackson.
... just wanna try out all the stuff there, so side orders like this can't escape.
... I swear they called it the Jawa Mee there.
... TSL ordered the Vietnamese Noodle.
Rating: 3.5/10
My cup of black jelly soya bean wasn’t sweet enough. Soya milk taste was pretty runny, making it rather tasteless. As for the kaya butter toast, it wasn’t even comparable to Uncle Lim’s toast. Lacked of any kaya and butter taste. The only thing nice was the bread was actually crispy. Though that doesn’t warrant a second chance. The Jawa Mee was bad. It was salty. The good stuff was, there were plenty of crispy crackers and it was served hot. The Vietnamese noodle, as according to TSL, it was sour and very salty. I’ve always thought Vietnamese noodle supposed to be sour and sweet. Hmmm…
Stuff to avoid: today’s items, all of them.
