This is a second post on Happy Meal, a revisit to this bakery selling what westerners love to hate, but might just love it with practise… 😀 Durian, the thorny looking fruit and also known as the king of fruits.

How to get there? Imagine yourself standing in the most known intersection in Chinatown, with Longan drink somewhere behind you to the right side, and Soya bean stall in front of you, take this road in front of you.

Walking steadily, you will see Popular book store somewhere in front on the left side. Last time Popular book shop was at another area of Chinatown, i am not sure whether they moved or they are 2 shops. You can also see Hotel Malaya on your left side.

Yep, you have reach the intersection where Happy Meal is at. It is the corner shop on the right.

Baked goods on display

Durian tart, RM2.50, i find they are too creamy, not in a delicious way, as if they have put quite a bit of cornstarch in it…

Durian swiss roll, RM2.20, i find it to be so-so and not worth buying.

Well equipped kitchen

Famed durian puff, RM2.80 for 4 pieces, this is must try, can see strand of real durian flesh in the cream.

Durian Tart, closed up

Durian cake, RM1.30, nice cake with subtle durian taste, worth trying.

Durian swiss roll, closed up, the cream is same with the durian puff’s, taste like any other swiss roll.

Here my recount on a durian feast i had on one fine Saturday morning. Do bring your friends from oversea, westerners perhaps to this shop, sure will be good experience for them… 😀

One fine Saturday, went to this place for breakfast. This restaurant located just across from Tai Thong Odeon in Kepong.

Seafood noodle, RM5.50

Beef Noodle, RM5.50, for a beef lover.

Beef noodle stall, 2 choice of noodle: Pan Mee or Yee Mee.

Seafood noodle stall, they also sell Tom Yam Seafood noodle, Fish Head noodle, Fish Slice Noodle and Fish Paste Noodle.

Another place to go if you are craving seafood noodle or beef noodle, priced reasonably.

Before i even continue on this restaurant review, i lost 2 food post worthy photos, not exactly lost them, i thiiiink i deleted them accidentally. Well today went to Batu Pahat, Johor Bahru(southern most state of Malaysia, Batu Pahat about 250km from Selangor) for one day meeting with customer. And one the way we stop by Tanggak (Tanggak is about 150km from Selangor, and for comparison sake, Melaka is about 120km from Selangor ). We had “kon lor mee”, and the noodle is quite “Q”, it is hand-made… and the dish is white in color, contrary to dark “kon lor mee” in KL, cost RM4 for medium size. Anyway, as far as i know, Tanggak is famous for Beef Noodle, not this dish…

On the way back to KL, we stop by Yong Peng, which is about 10km from Batu Pahat for Yong Tou Fu. Restaurant called Anthony Yong Tau Fu or sumthing…, it is so so, not extra-ordinary, costing RM0.70 per piece. 3 of us ate for RM19(3 bowl Yong Tou Fu noodle + 1 coffee) not exactly a cheap meal.

Anyway, today i have stomache upset, bout 1 hour after the Tanggak noodle, could be the noodle, or the bread i ate in the morning, so this make the loss of 2 blog-worthy-food-photos less painful, thought i am cool about this food blogging thing, never thought i will take it so seriously. You don’t know the feeling, you just have to lose it to know what you have lost… gosh… how can food make me so philosophical…

Back to main topic… Went to this Ramen store in Shah Alam this past Monday, just after leaving customer site there.

Store front, there are 2 japanese restaurant in this row of shop. Though Shah Alam HICOM are mainly factories, but they have quite a number Japanese companies/factories here, thus many Japanese works here, mostly of high position.

Condiments: Vinegar(in white pot), chili powder etc

Looking towards Kitchen

There is a comic book section if you fancy reading comic while eating, most of customers(i would say 90%) of the customers are Japanese.

Gyoza(RM9), not bad

Soy Sauce Ramen, RM10

My order of Miso Ramen, RM12

Moyashu Soba, RM11, it is suppose to be soba, but they gave Ramen, but my colleague gobble it all up since his order is last to come, and too hungry to ask them to replace it with soba.

Overall, this is place for a hearty meal, not so much delicious meal. I don’t think it is authentically Japanese, prob the Japs dine here because they don’t have much choice. This is place where you get your stomach filled pretty nicely, the portion is really big, price is reasonable.

Had another impromptu trip to Penang, it is a 1-night-stay, work till the wee hours of the morning, fly back to KL the next day. While waiting for my flight, pondering what to eat. McD? Coffee Bean? Kenny Rogers? Craving for some chicken, some rice, comfort food to be exact. so Kenny it is.

Had the quarter chicken with 3 side dishes RM16.90

Choice of side dishes: i chose mash potato, rice and crisp garden salad.

my choice of banana muffin, complimentary ice water.

The mash potato taste funny, mainly cos of the gravy, it is not the usual dark gravy, instead taste cornish with traces of corn… Yuck… nonetheless i down it all as i love potatoes any style.
