Rating: 5.5/10
Went to Medifoods with ALGJ and TSL. I was still feeling quite full and lazy to think of what to eat. They finally suggested this place. And again, I was tempted with the nasi lemak there. The last time I had the nasi lemak there was not bad, though I don’t have my camera with me, so I can’t blog about it. This time, I brought along my camera.
Unfortunately though, the sambal wasn’t so good this time. Probably because I was still full. The complimentary soup tasted bland and the lacked of dragonfruits kinda put me off, even though I wasn’t a big fan of dragonfruits. The pickled fruits tasted weird, so I’ve only had a little bit of them.

... aglio olio pasta.
Rating: 0/10
This aglio olio linguine was very spicy and yet it was tasteless. Not salted at all. I was expecting it to be soak in olive oil with plenty of garlic, unfortunately, it was soaked in spicy oil. The only tasteful stuff were those beef bacons. Fortunately, the Extreme Latte was still nice. At least it was nicer than The Ultimate Extreme Mocha from Coffee Bean that I had last night, which was practically tasteless and lacked of coffee fragrance.
... Shihlin's boneless fried chicken.
Rating: 5/10
A new outlet of Shihlin opened in IOI Mall’s new wing. AT spotted it from where she sat. If I knew Shihlin was there, I would’ve had it for dinner as I was thinking of having it before looking for EL & AT, but time wouldn’t permit. Perhaps next time I’ll have dinner there instead.

This post will be dedicated for a fan-sy of mine, AT. She has been complaining that I haven’t had any new posts for so long. So, I purposely wake up early in the morning, with lacked of sleep, just to come all the way to Dang Wangi for some breakfast that I’ve never written before. Though I’ve been to this place once, so long ago. More than 3 years ago though. But I don’t have much recollection of what I’ve had back then.
... each item of outside food will be charged.
... we were given a whole bottle of Lea & Perrins soya sauce. Reminds me of the Ramli Burger at Taman Paramount.
... iced kopi-o.
... chicken chop, Hainanese style.
... Hainanese noodle, doesn't look good. Fortunately the taste wasn't bad.
... porridge, tasted pretty bland.
... the notorious roti babi (pork bread).
... take a peek on the inside.
... roasted pork, each plate cost RM10.
... served with white wine apple sauce.
Rating: 5/10
I’ve mixed feelings on the food served here. Firstly, the chicken chop was rather unattractive. Probably because it was already soggy from soaking in the brown sauce or maybe because it took them less than 5 minutes to serve it right after we’ve placed our order. Either way, the chicken chop wasn’t as nice as I thought it would be. Then the Hainanese noodle, which came as a surprise. From the looks of it, it was rather unappetizing. Fortunately, it wasn’t the case for its taste. I find it rather good. Though I can’t be sure if I could finish up the whole plate all by myself. My appetite conscience probably gonna kills me.
The roti babi was very nice, aside from the rather oily bread. It seemed to be prepared in a hurry. Reminded me a little of the treasure chest of Taiwanese street snack. It has minced pork and even some sliced sausages. Tasted a tad sweet. It was nice, better if the bread wasn’t so oily. Porridge was a blasphemy. It was bland and we couldn’t even finish 1/2 of it.
Finally, special roast pork of the place, which started serving only at 11:30am. The skin was super crispy and it sort of came off, detached from the meat. Unlike my favourite roasted pork, the fats here don’t melt in my mouth, nor the lean meat was tender and soft. A rather bad dish if you don’t take the roasted skin.

... utensils.
... green tea, but where's the third cup?
... soft shell crab temaki, wrapped in tortilla instead of seaweed.
... squids on a stick.
... Ebi to Ika no Spicy Pasta, yes, read it in English and you'll understand. From Ebi to Ika, there's no spicy in the pasta.
Rating: 5.5/10
The soft shell crab temaki got my jaw sored. Probably due to the tortilla being used instead of the usual crispy seaweed. The temakis were served in 3 different types of sauces. I could only make out 2 of them, which were curry sauce and mayonnaise. I’ve got no idea what the third sourish and little spicy sauce was. The grilled squids on a stick was nice. Despite it it was cold, the taste was good, probably glazed with salt water. Though I expected it to have better fragrance like most grilled squids. Finally, my not spicy was only mediocre. Not that I have a good impression on this place on my previous visit.
The service for the day was terrible. We had to wait for more than 30 minutes for our main course to be served. Not that the preparations for pasta would take that long. And despite all the time taken, our ingredients weren’t exactly better than usual. The squid rings on my pasta was rather hard, and the taste of the whole thing wasn’t that good either.

Went for Ice Monster for some desserts before we left the place. I was telling him that the mango ice-cream here was superb, tasted like like a real mango. So AC was tempted to try it out.
... mango flavoured ice-cream on the front and passion fruits flavoured ice-cream on the back.
Rating: 5.5/10
The mango ice-cream was indeed very mango-ish. There were even fibres in the ice-cream itself. Though I wonder how’s the mango sorbet would be like. AC had the passion fruits. Which was a tad sourish and very sweet. Tasted more like syrup ice-cream than authentic passion fruits ice-cream. I guess the one from Haagen Dazs was just so much better.

Our final destination for the day was at this place for lunch. Though we’ve already had our lunch earlier at Yi Poh. After our little shopping in Parkson Grand, I started to feel a little empty in my stomach. Our initial plan was to have dinner at this place. Unfortunately, we can’t last until dinner time as there was basically nothing to do in Seremban. Nothing! Fortunately, the place was opened early.
... fried wanton skin as starter.
... special spicy concoction for the crabs.
... stir fried vegetable.
... spare ribs cooked with marmite.
... the grilled crabs, salty as ever.
Rating: 5.5/10
The vegetable was the most mildly tasting dish. The marmite spare ribs were a tad salty. AT was complaining that it was very salty. The portion was big though. Then the crab, it was very very very salty, similar to last time. I thought they would’ve tone down a bit. The crab meat was nice though, sweet, unlike what I had in Cia Xiang.

... as usual, apple beetroot and carrot mix.
... vegetarian popia.
... vegetarian sizzling noodle.
Rating: 5.5/10
When I was served my sizzling noodle, it doesn’t sizzle at all. The noodle was very soft, as if it was over soaked. The sauce on the noodle was nice though. As for the vegetarian popia that I ordered, it was rather unexpected. Reminded me of the sushi from Organic Vegetarian Fresh Mart. All the gratted vegetables as the centre of the roll.

After our long awaiting snack at Lorong Selamat. We head on straight to Pasar Air Itam’s laksa. MH was craving for it as well. He told me that is a must try when we were on our way to Penang the day before. Despite the warnings of the place was famous of using tissue paper in boiling the soup, I just had to take the risk.
... the famous asam laksa stall in Air Itam's market area.
... unlike those served in KV, this doesn't come with pineapple and the soup wasn't sweet, which I like.
Rating: 5.5/10
The taste of the soup was what I would be expecting from an asam laksa. Similar to my hometown’s asam laksa where there’s no pineapple. Though there were quite a bit of jalapeno being used here. Unfortunately, according to MH, if we were to be there in the morning, there would be more mackerel in the bowl of noodle, as opposed to none at all when we had it. Except for some minced leftover fish meat sinking at the bottom of the pot. Anyway, there weren’t any visible tissue paper particles found in the soup.

... I guess they are ketchup and chili sauce.
... complimentary plain water.
... the boxed fruit juice there cost too much, hence I settled for New York Peach Cool. Which was even cheaper and more aesthetic looking.
... PG's drink, the name is called Bloody Eyeballs. Daring you to order that.
... pepperoni pizza.
... aglio olio spaghetti with lamb shank.
Rating: 5/10
I wouldn’t go into detail on the food. The drink was very similar to calpis soda I’ve had last time in Senjyu, with soda on top and syrup at the bottom. Stir, not shaken. Do it just like James Bond’s style. The pepperoni was quite nice, tasted like roasted beef bacon. I guess it’s probably the best tasting pepperoni pizza I’ve tasted. Somehow, the meat was a tad too salty though. Then the aglio olio spaghetti, which tasted very salty too. The lamb shank was tender, though it was pretty tasteless too. I could class it as 1 of the no-so-tasty lamb shanks I’ve tasted.
I guess for the price I’m paying, I can’t complain much. Seeing that I was paying the same figure back when I had it in Singapore, and I haven’t sum in the currency conversion yet.
