... I missed the fried kuey teow last time, so I must try it this time.
... roasted chicken wings, the same stall that has roasted pigeons.
Rating: 4/10
The previous time I came here, I had roasted pigeon and fried balitong. Before I left, I could smell the good fragrance coming from the fried kuey teow stall. I told myself, I have to try the fried kuey teow the next time I come. Hence, today I straight away went for the fried kuey teow. Unfortunately, it doesnt’ taste as good as the aroma. Then EL asked me to order the roasted chicken wings. I went to order for 4 pieces, but they delivered only 3. The chicken wings weren’t as good as the roasted pigeons. Aside from the lacking of cinnamon (not that I was expecting any), the honey glaze wasn’t as much as on the pigeons and the meat was a bit darkened. Very unappetizing.

... as usual, I'll ask for both benta kaya and gula melaka for my homemade dumpling.
Rating: 4.5/10
I don’t have any appetite today, so I’ve only ordered homemade dumplings for lunch. My homemade dumplings came very late cause the waitress didn’t not place my order, despite I made it clear to her that I wanted both benta kaya and brown sugar as condiments. The taste was pretty much the same as the last time I had it.

... I picked the fried bittergourd in salted egg yolk to give it a shot. Something which I don't like, both salted egg and bittergourd.
... fried beancurd with crabstick in it.
... kung pow chicken.
... salted fish pork belly meat.
... sweet sour crab.
Rating: 4.5/10
Went to dinner with family. Firstly, the salted egg yolk fried bittergourd. Though the bittergourd was not bitter, but the semi runny salted egg yolk was very … loathsome. Fried bean curd was quite nice, though I saw some crabsticks inside it, which is kind of turn off for me. Kung pow chicken was nice as it was unexpected. I never thought my parents would order that. It was considered quite nice, though I’d prefer it to be more spicy. Salted fish pork belly was so-so. I had only 1 piece, as I don’t really like it. I prefer those in KV’s. Finally, the sweet sour crabs was quite nice. Except that the crabs was too small. Unlike those I had in Yap Yin
Food was so-so. Pretty much something similar that I had previously, though the price was very cheap, as each dish cost around RM4 till RM12 only. Except for the crabs, of course.

... the last piece of Mango Delight in the counter. Yes, it was leftover from yesterday.
... ALGJ's set lunch, chicken in BBQ sauce.
... the aptly named flavoured latte. I went with hazelnut syrup.
Rating: 4/10
My Mango Delight cake was a mess when it was delivered to me. Instead of standing by itself, it was laid down sleeping like a lazy pig. What a way to serve your patron their precious slice cake! I had to flip it up to take photo of it, though the cake looked like it was just gutted by a robber. My latte was nothing to complain about, but for RM7.50 each, I prefer something more tasty.
ALGJ’s chicken set looks nice though, especially that sauce. I might have guessed it wrongly, it could’ve been sweet and sour sauce. Unfortunately, she was super hungry today as she cleaned the whole plate, without any leftover for me to try.

... drunken chicken dancing on flame.
... drunken chicken.
... vege.
... beancurd in fried little shrimps and sauce.
... steamed puntius bulu (丁加蘭) fish.
Rating: 4/10
Our initial plan was to have steamed frog vermicelli here, but ended up they don’t have it tonight. Hence we went with the rather ordinary meal. The drunken chicken soup looked thick and there were so much of ginger in it, though I preferred sliced ginger. The soup tasted quite sweet. Everything else tasted moderate and I don’t have much appetite on them. The fried shrimps only filled on 1 piece of the bean curd while the other was only soaked in oyster sauce. Talks about fair. The fish cost RM8 every 100 grams. Being a freshwater fish, it doesn’t have the mud taste in it.

Rushed to Seremban early this morning for some breakfast in the wet market. According to AT’s eating magazine, there were some nice food stalls there worth trying.
... gotta have a black coffee to boost my day, starting so early in the morning.
... this was 1 of the items introduced in the eating magazine, vermicelli with squids.
Rating: 6.5/10
This vermicelli was quite different from what I usually have. Instead of clear soup, I was served with a brownish soup, which was quite salty in its nature. Then there were some cuttlefish strips and best of all, those sliced porks. The vermicelli itself was not very well prepared. It has the smell of raw vermicelli, which I don’t like. The sliced porks were very nice marinated. I guess I could just eat that all day long. Should have been called the marinated pork vermicelli instead.
... the specialty of the stall was dried beef noodle, instead of the soup one though.
Rating: 0/10
AT went to order a bowl of beef noodle. She mistakenly ordered the soup noodle, instead of the dried one, which was recommended by the magazine. I had a few sips of the soup, which was very plain and watery, unlike any beef noodle’s soup I’ve had. I heard the noodle was home made too. I supposed that was to attracts more people to try it out with the notion that it was healthier? Anyway, I give it a zero because a bowl of beef noodle from Teppanyaki would’ve tasted much better. Perhaps it was her trick of leaving something behind, so we could have something to yearn for on our next visit.
... it contains pork in it and special concoction of gravy.
Rating: 7/10
I was quite tempted by the rojak’s photos in the magazine. AT said it was just a few stalls away from the stall selling vermicelli. Despite feeling a little full already, I went ahead to try it out. How often would I be visiting the wet market so early in the morning, let alone the one in Seremban’s? I was glad I did went ahead and be a glutton. This rojak (pasembur) was unlike any of those that I find in KV. It was served with pork (not the meat) in it and has five-spice powder in it, which made the gravy so special. Though it was quite spicy by comparison. Something worth a second try or takeaway.
... after those, we went around the stalls to go for Tow Kee's Hakka Mee.
Rating: 4/10
I’m not a big fan of Hakka Mee, but since it was highly recommended, we went ahead and gave it a try. Initial impression was, it was very salty. I felt a slight tingling on my tongue. I was guessing it was due to the used of alkaline in the preparation of the noodle or it has way too much salty. Somehow EL and AT can’t feel that, but they loved the soup on the beef noodle though. My comment for this noodle? It was nothing extraordinary as I could get similar stuff in Glenmarie.
That’s about wrap it up for our breakfast in Seremban. A day which I woke up so early and I still can’t believe it myself.
PS: will update the stall numbers when I got them from EL or AT.

... 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.

... instead of inside a shop, it was a makeshift stall.
... the most expensive item on the menu, cost RM16. Forgotten the name though.
... my plain looking mango with sago and pomelo cost RM12. They even forgotten the mint on top of it, which was shown in the menu.
Rating: 4/10
I was dead hungry while waiting for my dessert to be served. Yes, I was served last as well, out of the 3 items. Being so hungry, I supposed everything would taste better. Aside from the slight bitterness in my pomelo, the dessert tasted very ordinary. Plenty of sago but mango wasn’t abundance though. Something which doesn’t warrant the price tag of RM12.
I told myself, I wouldn’t go back to the place again. Their desserts were way too overrated. Ambient wasn’t exactly romantic either. I guess I’d rather spend my money on Yogur Berry instead.

... nasi lemak, highly recommended by AC.
Rating: 6.5/10
I packed this nasi lemak right after I had my lunch. I have to try it out as it was highly recommended by AC, as he quoted, “Even my friend from Penang said it’s nice.” When I was there during lunch time, the stall was not opened or not tended by anyone. After my lunch today, while walking to my car, I had a peep and found a woman tending to the stall. I decided to pack a plain one.
I was expecting it to have only curry as the main condiments. Fortunately, it does come with sambal and it tasted good too! The curry wasn’t runny like most Chinese nasi lemak I had. Though unfortunately, the rice wasn’t exactly lemaky. It felt like the leftover rice from the economy rice stall besides the nasi lemak stall. It would score a solid 7.5 if the rice was genuine nasi lemak. There was only O-N-E anchovy in the sambal as well. Not that I’m complain, since I’m still on my strict diet regimen. Anyway, it’s gonna be a nasi lemak that I’ll come back for more, hopefully she’s working over the weekends.
Boy! Was I full…

I had these yam cakes last Friday as TSL packed them for me. There weren’t exactly tasty but the chilli paste given was really nice. Basically, I wanted only the chilli paste, but I had to grab something. I had the glutinous rice as well, but they don’t go well with the chilli. So, yam cake it is. If only the shop has nasi lemak also.

... orange juice from the set.
... curry lamb rice.
Rating: 4/10
I was surprised with the orange drink (not exactly juice, but powder orange drink) as the set lunch menu showed lemonade. Bad call. Then the lamb, it sounded nice to have, but it wasn’t that good actually.
