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.

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.

... sandwich fo the day, Saturday Dreamer.
Rating: 6/10
My bread was toasted till crisp. Hence the darkened colour of the surface. It has seafood and crab sticks laden with mayonnaise.
This post was made specially for EL because he said I didn’t “eat enough” of Subway’s because I said I’d frequent it more often. The fact was, I ate enough but I didn’t post them up as I didn’t take any photos.

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.

... plain nasi lemak.
Rating: 7/10
I was there early expecting to have a plate of satisfying nasi lemak with nice fried chicken. Unfortunately, the fried chicken only available from 2pm onward. At least I get to know that the stall opens even during lunch time and even better, there’s fried chicken during lunch, on Saturday.

... probably the best prawn mee I've had in KV. Not that I've tried all, but best thus far.
... as according to EL, this is Penang's style by adding in law mee's gravy. But then again, EL is mainlander.
Rating: 7/10
The prawn noodle mix with law mee’s gravy was something new to me. EL has been repeatedly asking me if I tried any of the hokkien mee (which is called prawn mee here) when I was in Penang. Though, the prawn mee was already good by itself. The soup was thick enough and very tasty. I didn’t even finish my chilli paste that was provided due to the sufficient tasting soup base. With the added gravy, it made the soup even saltier. The gravy was really salty. Perhaps it was just good for its original purpose.

... 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.

MSF gave me this bread last night. She said she got it for free from the boss of the place. According to her, the place that made this bread was a rundown looking place, managed by an old uncle. It was very famous in Seremban too. So the glutton me just wanted to have it despite my strict diet doesn’t allow me to have yeast.
... MSF gave me 1 of this bread with filling.
... it's butter.
... a little bit sweetened.
Rating: 5/10
I was expecting some cream with undissolved sugar in it, like most filling breads I’ve had. Instead this was filled with butter, a little sweetened. It needs some time to get used to, but I did managed. I wouldn’t say that it’s very nice, just acceptable.
The box of kaya puff that MSF bought for us was left with 3 pieces in it. The other box of baked buns were all gone, thanks to HL’s big appetite (and tummy that contains them). So I can only have it this morning as breakfast because I was very full from my dinner last night.
... the box of kaya puff.
... do you call them "kaya puffs" or "kaya puffies"?
... the inside has air pocket.
Rating: 4/10
The puffs looked nice and appetizing. But the kaya wasn’t that nice. There were even air pocket inside the puff. I don’t like having air pocket in my puff. I felt cheated by the looks of it, thinking that the puffy puff would’ve had its kaya filled up fully.

... been craving for it since the start of my stric diet days.
Rating: 5.5/10
Despite having nasi lemak for breakfast, it wasn’t such a complete nasi lemak at all. Mainly due to my strict diet, I had to discard those anchovies and the nuts. So I was left with just the rice, eggs and the chili. Nevertheless, it was a good breakfast, especially good when you were monk (on food) for so long. The egg yolk gone bad on me on the last bite though, which was rather yucky.

I’ve lost count of my number of days of strict diet. Anyway, I’ve already finished my medications. I hope these were acceptable diet to meet my strict diet requirements.
... again, I'm drinking iced lime only rather than iced tea.
... I hope tosai egg is a permissible diet.
