C.I. Express @ One Utama

The newly renovated Jaya Jusco at One Utama has become the hippest supermarket in the Klang Valley. One can get a variety of groceries, be it imported or local, at the most reasonable price and at the same time, enjoy watching at the innovative display of products in the supermarket. Upon checking out at the cashier, you will be attracted by the bright orangey lot located next to the supermarket. Bearing the concept of Hong Kong style fast food, C.I Express is another popular meeting place for those who have a big appetite and a special palate on Cantonese food.

Won Ton Noodles with Roasted Duck Meat @ RM12.60

A crowded place for breakfast


Please don't go to Nam Heong Coffee shop alone no matter how much you crave for white coffee. As you know, the crowded dining area is not enough to cater for the huge flow of customers. You probably won't get a seat unless you are willing to share the table with others but I doubt you are welcomed by those who come in a group or a family. However, that doesn't mean you can't eat there if you are alone provided if you visit the shop at the convenient time - between 6.30 to 7.30 a.m. I am not joking, cause that's the time you can see me there.

White Coffee @ RM1.40


Lum Foong Banana Leaf Char Kuey Toew @ RM3.80



Noodles accompanied by assorted fishballs and beancurd.


Another must-try is the Sar Kok Liew (yambean filled fishballs), a famous delicacy in Ipoh.

Kit Kat King Size

The Kit Kat King Size is a delicious combination of smooth milk chocolate and light, crispy wafers, in a size you can share. This super sized Kit Kat chunky bar was a gift from an old friend from Australia. It has been months since I received this guilt-filled confectionery yet I have not gathered enough courage to take a bite of it.  Kindly advise me when I should to unseal it and permanently discard it from the refrigerator. Now or never?

New York New York Deli @ One Utama

When I think of food in the United States, I can't name really name them. What do the Yankees eat? What is their daily staple? What are the food in the states that symbolise the whole nation of the Americans? I wonder. The first time I patronised New York New York Deli was due to curiosity yet was unable to recall the taste of food I had savoured. Hence, I made my way to New York New York again to try out more food, trying to figure out the difference between British food and the state's.

Eating steamboat in the air-conditioned dining hall and grilling meat over charcoal flame along the roadside. With that, you get to experience of becoming an amateur satay vendor.

Fish me out at Manhattan Fish Market

The 2-day seminar was finally over. We were given a two-hour early dismissal so that we wouldn't get caught in the jam on the way back to the mainland. All the teachers sped off immediately without taking the afternoon tea provided by the hotel. I was one of them but we went on separate ways upon reaching the Penang Bridge. They took the exit onto the Penang Bridge while I went straight along the Bayan Lepas Expressway towards Queensbay Mall. I ended up spending more than 3 hours shopping around the mall and later enjoyed a super large meal all by myself at the Manhattan Fish Market. Traffic jam? Who cares?

Cream of Mushroom @ RM4.90


Small Grill @ RM29.90

Grilled fish fillet, calamari and tiger prawns served with garlic herb rice, chips and scrumptious broccoli and carrots on the side.

Set Lunch @ Bayview Hotel

The annual pre-U Biology seminar was held at the City Bayview Hotel in Penang. Teachers attending the seminar were provided with good accommodation and decent food. Their breakfast was nothing to shout about but all of us gave the set lunch a thumbs up. Everything was made fresh upon order and the taste was simply so excellent that we licked the plate clean and just could not wait for another round of set lunch on the following day.
