Piccadilly Restaurant @ Section 14, PJ

Piccadilly Restaurant's Menu
It's time for friend's birthday celebration, so we decided to go Piccadilly Restaurant located at the Millennium Square at section 14 of PJ (Near to Digital Mall at Jaya 33). The first thing that surprise me was the size of the restaurant. It actually covers 4-5 shop lots if I am not mistaken and definitely it is a good place to hang out with friends as well. Well, the second thing that surprise me was the menu. Trust me! It will be a hustle to go through every single lines in the menu as it was just too much for you to go through. The restaurant actually offers food ranging from western to Thai food. (I think there is like 14 pages in the menu) @@. We decided to just order different type of cuisine and share to try out the taste.

Carbonara with Turkey Ham (RM11.00)
One of my favourite, Carbonara! For those who love Carbonara, this would definitely be your choice. I love it because of the white sauce was 'Gao' enough and of course with a lot of cheese powder. The portion is quite big with generous amount of Turkey Ham served in it.
 
Tom Yum Gai Nam Sai (RM5.20)
Any Tom Yum lover here? It is a must try for this! There are a few types of tomyam that the restaurant serves. I believe in Malaysia, most of the restaurants only serve the normal red colour-typed tomyam but in Piccadilly, they do serve what I called the 'white tomyam'.  Don't get cheated by the appearance, you will definitely on flame! Recommended! 
K.K Wan Gai (RM5.90)
This is another serving of Thai cuisine. We thought of trying out some Thai curry and this is it. I can't remember the full name of it but I called it the green curry. I guess it should be famous in Thailand. In term of the taste, I would say that it Is not that spicy and it is a bit thick. It would be suitable to go with the rice. Recommended for those who love curry.

湖濱鱼头米之家/ Woo Pin Fish Head Noodles House @ Bandar Puteri, Puchong




湖濱鱼头米之家/ Woo Pin Fish Head Noodles House
Here we are at the Woo Pin Fish Head Noodles House in Bandar Puteri, Puchong. I have been to the Woo Pin outlet in Taman Danau Desa, KL and it seems like this outlet in Bandar Puteri, Puchong is way more comfortable compared to the one in Taman Danau Desa. I think maybe it is air-conditioned + looks new + more comfortable seats (sofa). =) Indeed, a comfortable environment plays important role when you are trying to enjoy your FOOD but I don't mind if the food taste awesome even the stall is just beside the road!! As usual, a bit introduction of the Woo Pin Fish Head Noodles restaurant, the first outlet of Woo Pin is located in Cheras. There are other branches which located  in Taman Danau Desa, Puchong and Sri Petaling. Well, of course they are the specialist in cooking fish especially the fish head. =)

Fish Paste - Mihoon/ 鱼滑米粉 (RM8.50)
Tadaaa~~ Here's my favorite of all time the Fish paste mihoon! First of all I love it because of the soup! The soup is actually mixed with MILK!! For me everything would taste awesome with milk especially the fish paste noodles. Secondly, I love the fish pastes too because of the taste. It is kinda hard to explain the taste but it definitely taste good to me and you should try it! 

Boneless fish paste which I personally love!! =) Dip it with sambal belacan!
Other than the fish paste mihoon, there are some other dishes as well which are offered in Woo Pin Fish Head Restaurant's menu as well such as Fried fish head mihoon/炸鱼头米粉, normal fish head mihoon/ 生鱼头米粉, etc. For those who dislike mihoon, you can always chooe yee mee as they offer these two types of mee. I forgotten to snap photos of their menu. Shall snap it next time when I visit the restaurant again.

Tangkak Beef Noodles/ 东甲牛腩面 @ Taman Maluri, Cheras

Tangkak Beef Noodles (sllrrrpppppp.....) (RM 7.90)
Here you go! The Tangkak Beef Noodles found in Taman Maluri Cheras! =) Honestly speaking anyone of you who can consume beef should try this out. You will eventually get addicted to the soup! yummy~~ (saliva drooling~~). First of all, a bit of introduction of this restaurant. This restaurant is actually one of the four outlets or branches opened throughout Malaysia. This branch in Taman Maluri, Cheras is the only outlet which situated in the state of Selangor. The others branches are located in Tangkak (Restaurant Kuang Fei), Restaurant beef soup Tangkak in Melaka, and Restaurant Tangkak Beef in Kluang, Johor. For the address and contact number for each of the branches, please refer to the last photos available below. =)

Look at the beef~~~ (yummy!!!!) well cooked!!
 I have tried the beef noodles from the original stall (Restaurant Kuang Fei) in Tangkak and definately the taste is slightly better as compared to the one in Taman Maluri, Cheras.  Besides, the beef offered in the original store are more generous when compared to the one offered in Taman Maluri, Cheras branch. I guess mainly is because the original store's beef noodles are cooked by the owner himself while the one in Cheras is actually cooked by foreign workers. Anyway, both reataurants are owned by the same owner and since they are sharing the same recipe, the taste won't differ by much. =)
The menu of Tangkak Beef Noodles restaurant
Other than the normal size portion, the shop also offer bigger portion which costs about RM3 more compared to the normal-sized. Normally, I would recommend that if you are trying the Tangkak Beef Noodles for the first time, try to get the normal portion first as not every person will get used with the taste of it or you may order some side dishes such as beef balls to compensate for the portion. The Tangkak Noodles Restaurant chain really specialise in cooking every part of a cow. other than the normal beef, they also offer parts such as stomach, tender and tenderloin. For those who love all this 'spare parts' of the cow, you should try them out. ( I shall try them next time...) =)
Beef balls (RM6.00)
This is the first time that I tried Beef balls from the Tangkak beef Noodles restaurant chain. As I remembered the original stall in Tangkak, Johor does not offer any beef balls so I am guessing this branch should be the first to offer this in their menu.

Village Park Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng / 炸鸡椰浆饭 @ Damansara Utama (PJ Uptown)

Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng Village Park + fried egg (RM8.90 + RM1.00)

Speaking about nasi/rice, here we are the all time famous nasi lemak ayam goreng in Klang Valley (some say the best in klang valley..!). =) I would highly recommend for those who love spicy nasi lemak. I have tried many nasi lemak in Klang Valley but still I think that this restaurant, Village Park offers the best of everything in nasi lemak. From the rice to the spicy sambal and to the crispy fried chicken, everything just taste so good to me, especially the fried chicken. =) I believe that there must be some unique ingredients or spices that are used to fry the chicken. The portion offered is just nice to me but for those who are big appetite, you might want to add another bowl of the nasi to get along with your fried chicken. Other than the fried chicken, you can choose rendang chicken and some other meat as well.
The fried chicken which is quite big in size =) recommended!

 The fried chicken was quite big and it is super crunchy when you try the first bite on the fried skin. Yummy! =)
Our all time favourite drinks! Teh Ice (RM3.00)
The crowd in the restaurant.
Here we have the picture of the crowd in the restaurant during the evening time about 3 p.m. on Saturday. It would be advisable to come a little bit late during the weekend as most of the time during the lunch hour, the restaurant will be really congested and packed with customers. However, there are still a few canopies that are set up just outside the restaurant to accomodate more customers. Definately not to worry about their speed of servicing! Eventhough the restaurant is packed but the speed of the waiters servicing their customers really impressed me! They are well trained! =)

HUEN KEE Claypot Chicken Rice/禤记瓦煲鸡饭 @ Jalan Yew, Pudu

传统炭烧瓦煲鸡饭/ Traditional Claypot Chicken Rice (medium portion)

Here we are at the Restaurant Heun Kee Claypot Chicken Rice!! Not to mention anymore, definately the famous dish here is the traditional claypot chicken rice as shown in the picture above. With the chicken marinated with special secret recipe sauce originated from the owner of the restaurant, it has attracted many of the overseas tourists to visit the restaurant. Unlike many claypot chicken rice that are offered by other stalls in the hawker centre, the chicken portion offered in Huen Kee restaurant are way more generous! Besides, the special sauce, bacon sausage hidden inside (or known as 腊肉肠 in chinese)  and the well-cooked rice are believed to be the 'special weapon' to the tasty claypot chicken rice. =) Highly recommended for those who loves claypot chicken rice and please do leave some comment after you have tried! =)

Huen Kee Claypot Chicken Rice Restaurant
Huen Kee Claypot chicken rice restaurant is located along Jalan Yew. However, I find it difficult to locate the restaurant as the restaurant is facing a flyover bridge which almost block the whole shop. A better way is to look for the rows of charcoal stove (If i pronounce correctly) situated outside of the restaurant or look for the signboard which state ' Huen Kee Claypot Chicken Rice'. =) Hope this will help!

Few rows of charcoal stoves used to serve the increasing number of customers.
There are actually 2 huge fans used to fan the charcoal in the stoves to ensure the continuation burning and heating on the claypots. @_@ However, something interesting caught my attention. Most of the stalls only heat the claypot from the bottom stove but in Huen Kee restaurant, they actually heat the claypot from the top cover as well. I was told that by using this method, the claypot will be heated more evenly and the chicken rice can be well-cooked within a shorter period. (No wonder the thick chicken meat can be cooked well within 20 minutes time) =)

Vary Pasta @ Damansara Jaya

Menu of Vary Pasta (Italian Cuisine)
It has always being a headache for both of us to think where to go for lunch, dinner or even supper especially during the weekend. Since my girl has been craving for pasta, we  thought of trying out Vary Pasta Restaurant recommended by her sister. Vary Pasta (which serve Italian cuisine) offers variety kind of pasta (Some I don't even hear before...hmmm...). Like most of the restaurants which serve Italian Cuisine, Vary Pasta's menu without fail also includes a few choices of appetizer, soup and salad. Too bad I didn't order any of that, so for those who have tried, do leave us some comment. =)

Penne Smoked Chicken (RM14.50)
Tadaaaa~~ here we have the Penne smoked Chicken. For those who like penne instead of the normal angel hair or spaghetti, you should try this out. The penne are well-cooked and chewy. Personally I would prefer spaghetti type of noodles rather than penne but it wasn't that bad after all.   Overall I would give a rating of 7.5/10 for the taste and 8/10 for the appearance.
Spaghetti Bolognese Chicken (RM11.00)
Here is one of my favourites! Spaghetti Bolognese (Chicken)! If I am not mistaken, you do have some choices on the meat either chicken, pork or beef for your spaghetti. =) The spaghetti serving was quite generous and served with the cheesy bolognese sauce (meat based sauce) on the top. Compared to others spaghetti bolognese that I have tried, it worth a try! Thumbs up =)
