Buyandship https://www.buyandship.com.my/ is my favourite shipping company currently, mainly cos their shipping charge is weight based, and not volumetric (which other company like comgateway etc is using). MyUS is other which is weight based charging as well, and i remembered it not bad as well, but they have monthly membership charge of around $10 which I am not keen on, as I don’t buy on regular basis.

Currently buyandship.com.my charge is RM22 per pound(lb) using Quantum Solutions for duty unpaid, you can use this if your items cost + buyandship logistic cost < RM500. If it is more than RM500, you should use RM26 per pound(lb) via SkyNet whereby they will handle the taxes, and you don’t need to pay any taxes yourself.

Volumetric charging is very good if you are buying items with large dimension like shoes which comes in boxes

Below and actual example where I bought a few pair of shoes, using volumetric calculation, I would be charged 13lb of shipping fee RM 338, but buyandship weight based charging only cost RM182

Volumetric charging:
Width * length * height=(32*50*18)/5000=5.76kg=12.7lb

Weight based charging:
Total items weight 3kg=6.6lb
Paid 7lb=RM182

How it works:

1. You buy item from US sites and have it delivered to B&S warehouse in US.
2. When you get the tracking number from the US shopping site, remember to update the tracking number details into B&S website
3. Once it reach their warehouse, you will receive an email titled “Shipment Updates” notifying you that they have receive it in their US warehouse
4. Thereafter, it will take around 7-11 days for the items to reach their HK warehouse, whereby you will receive an email “Shipment ready for consolidation”, at this stage, you can make payment.
5. After payment, it takes 5-8 days(including weekends) after to receive the item. Prior to receiving it(around 2 days), you will receive email titled “Order ready for delivery”.
6. On a occasion I paid B&S on Friday 5pm, skynet delivered to my house at 11am Wednesday (when Tuesday was holiday) (~6 days)
7. On another occasion where I use Quantum Solution(via B&S), paid Sunday 8am, delivered on Thurs 1pm. (~ 5 days)
8. So overall, it takes about 11 – 19 days from the item reaching B&S US house, to parcel being delivered to your house. You will need to add the shipping time from US site to B&S US warehouse, assuming takes within 10 days, so total from paying in US website to receiving the parcel could be around 21 to 29 days.

Below meal (for 4) cost ~ RM250, wanted to try their yam paste dessert, but too full already

Overall, all their food are tasty, except the tofu bag dumpling(RM4.90 per piece) with fish paste tofu filling which I find is just so so, the filling is just so so, only thing special is the outside “skin” is very crispy

This a small portion of fish pot (RM88), with yam, fish pieces etc, quite yummy

They open on 11:30am. By then, on a Friday when we went to, there are already about 5 groups of people lining up. If you are going in large group, better to reach here 15-30mins before their opening time.
2 of ate till our stomach going to burst(below are all the food we are+2 green tea+1 chawan mushi+1 cucumber temaki) and it cost a reasonable RM131.
They have 4 branches, Puchong, SS2 and Taipan.
Overall, it is definity worth revisiting. Loves they don’t skimp on avacado for the avocado salad and very generous with salad greens underneath(better than sushi mentai which is tiny with little greens). The salmon belly is really thick and nice. Surprisingly, the garlic rice is really tasty. Salmon avo handroll is filled with ample of salmon. I find sushi mentai tempura moraiwase is bigger portion though.
It think it is just me, don’t really like those items with teriyaki sweet sauce, prefer more clean tasting and savoury item.

Shin Zushi Menu

Take the overhead bridge from Hartamas shopping centre, it is located just 4 or 5 shops away from where the bridge end We went on normal working day, on a Friday afternoon .

no need to queue, as there isn’t many customer, lunch for 2 for below items with 2 green tea cos RM88. Tempura meal RM80 is only available with prior reservation. Overall, a simple, adequately satisfying homey meal

Summarised List of which food which i dont mind revisiting Updated:2 Jan 2025

1. • chinese style nasi lemak in Alison kopitiam nice chinese style nasi lemak where i can take as much potato as i want
2. road side Malay nasi lemak which sells out by 9am
3. Hai Kah Lang when i craving seafood, freshness is ok ok but environment comfortable and service is fast

A. Recommended

Alison kopitiam

Went there few times for the nasi lemak which is quite good, the char kuey tiaw here is not bad (fat bean sprout, but I their siham is fried into the noodle and not the partial-cook type, which could indicate their cockles is not fresh enough on that day), but overall the CKT is still a must try here Nyonya Nasi lemak store Above is curry noodle stall, below is the curry noodle RM9, not bad, but Girl and mummy curry Mee or kuchai lama’s Leong Wei one are better Above wantan Mee from Alison is mediocre cos wantan is so so. Noodle is no springy at all. Below beef noodle from a stall in Alison kopitiam is just okay, the ingredient is not much, much prefer the Jln ipoh Argyle kopitiam’s which is much more generous

Rotiman bakery

one of the better bakery out there which has nice yam bun, Japanese sea salt bun and varieties of sourdough, all their bun are quality stuff. Online has some rave review for their gula melaka coconut shred bun (which I am yet to try), japanese shokupan danish bread loaf, thick-cut wholemeal loaves, cheese tart etc

Roadside nasi lemak (not in Google Map)

very popular, best to reach here at 8am or earlier, they will be sold out by 9am. You can find this stall under a “umbrella” written Pasar Tani Mega, and a long line of ppl, it is located just opposite diagonally from Nam Heong in The Pinaccle. The nasi lemak is very tasty and not expensive, 2 packet, one with rendang chicken, the other with rendang beef, both add rice, comes up to only RM11.50

New Lucky Sri Petaling

Their seafood porridge (single person) cost RM20 is enough for 2 person, ample fresh ingredients(fish, lala & prawn), fish porridge is RM13, very nice as well with generous fish slices. The nasi lemak stall here is also quite popular with steady stream of dine in/takeaway orders. Above nasi lemak is very cheap at RM4.50, the rice is not fragrant though, taste like normal rice, but the side dishes and sambal are quite tasty Above is pan Mee in shop next door, looks tasty but can’t order to be eaten into this corner shoplot. Below is revisit where they allow pan Mee next door to be ordered into the restaurant, tasted so so only The prawn mee stall here has steady stream of customer, might try it someday

A popular roadside soybean stall near Sri Petaling morning market (Jalan Perlak/Jalan Pasai)

Soybean drink is not bad, and it is fresh and cheaper than others. As for Tau foo Far, there is one stall in Kuchai Lama(New Wong Kee) is still the best.

Super Kitchen chilli pan Mee

Very nice

TK Bakery

They have the best tasting egg tart(comes in butter pastry or lard pastry) which does not burn hole is pocket, just that I am wondering is it real lard or butter

Restoran Fa Cai

I think there is 2 stalls here which are more popular: roti canai stall and wantan Mee above is egg roti which is freshly made, the dhal is very tasty, just not that fond of margerine fragrant from the roti cos they pan fry it with margarine instead of the usual oil Below is mixed pork soup, filled with ingredient, open for lunch & dinner

Thong Kee

Always with long line of patrons

YSK Fresh Mart fresh pork

Chee Seong kopitiam

near Jalan Perlak Sri Petaling morning market Don’t like the wantan, so the wantan Mee is a no no. As for the pan Mee, soup is nice, just wish the torn pan Mee is thicker and more texture, it weirdly comes with 2 fried wantan

Restaurant Ye Look 以勒海鲜楼 afternoon chicken rice stall

best to reach here at 11am when their roast pork is ready, we reach 10:45am and roast pork not ready yet. Below is our visit during cny eve where they are so busy that they don’t even bother giving us cucumber, quite a tasty chicken rice, worth a revisit

House of Fishball 漁鄉丸

yummy taste, worth a try

Young Sanna Sauna Mee

(similar to Mama Kim sauna mee) Below is the vege sauna mee(I choose to serve with rice) with chicken herbal soup, full to the brim with vege and the broth is quite flavourful. Don’t mind going back again for this, healthy and tasty

Midam Korean restaurant

(above Old Town coffee shop) Their lunch set is really worth it, but only avail during Monday-Friday(excluding Saturday, Sunday and public holiday which falls on Mon-Fri). Their lunch set is slightly more expensive than Mi Na Rae(also in Sri Petaling) but portion is much bigger and is a very filling meal, side dishes if refillable as well (but we are full to the brim with existing portion and didn’t refill it)

Mi Na Rae Korean restaurant

(near Sri Petaling’s Inside Scoop) the restaurant is located in upper floor, their lunch set is quite cheap, food are really tasty, though portion is slightly on smaller side

Uncle Don

Food is not expensive and portion is big

House of Pok

(inside Pinnacle mall) Lots of variety, but their food lack soul, flavors are lacking, feels like the food are prepared without love

Nam Heong

their tea time set is cheap and tasty, the promotion only available in this branch in the Pinnacle

Cheras Flat fish noodle, Google map mention this is permanently closed

inside Pinnacle mall, taste not bad, can try

Hai Kah Lang

freshness is ok ok, maybe cos they have so many branch now after the Michelin accolade. Taste is quite nice with their cili

Ding Xiang Sang Nyuk noodle

their soup can considered quite tasteless to many. However it means it is probably not msg laden. Not bad, can try

Menya Hanabi

the famed ramen. Nice and hearty, go try Check out also my post on Kuchai Lama good food B. Not recommended Below are shop which food is not so good, won’t go again: A Chinese shop (Hong Kong Roaster) which sells roast duck/chicken rice/noodle for less than RM10, this shop is owned by Good Taste restaurant(which has many branches), not sure the difference. Haven’t dine here but the items look not bad. After dining here, the portion of the meat is quite small, the egg is not jammy type as shown on menu, but normal boiled egg, overall nothing outstanding for paying higher price than normal hawker stall D’NATS Their nasi lemak is so so only, not so nice C. Yet to try Below are food items which I haven’t try, but like to try 1 day.

Tawaf Nasi Lemak

Famous  which has really long lines when we wanted to tried it on a Sunday morning, want to try it one day. They seem to open on some Sundays, cos it is not always open when we pass by on Sundays.
