Mr.FcuK Snapshots & Lessons of My Life

A small stall, located at the border of Selangor and Negeri Sembilan, is known by many from Semenyih and Broga to serve good Pan Mee (noodles). Unfamiliar to many others for its town name, explorers of University of Nottingham managed to find the stall and ever since then infested their stalls regularly. This shows that good food is needed to be found. It won’t come to you.

Food
Pan Mee, which can be served either dry (with black sauce) or with soup, makes students travel into the current half-forest like journey just to have them. Comes in several portion, with small, medium, big and special ordered big big, are the alternatives, even though they don’t look too much of a difference. Regardless of how big or how small the portion is, the taste is definitely good.

After a good meal of lunch, Ais Kacang, a local Malaysian desert can also be served. Not as good as the one compared to Penang Island, but it can serves as a mouth quenching item when the weather is hot. Apart from that, Cendol (local delight) is also available as drinks.

Environment
The place is neither behind close doors nor it is air conditioned, but a place which is cheap to maintain allows them to charge a low pricing for customers. Pan Mee will be served by the stall in front, by several aunties or ladies, while the drinks and Ais Kacang desert is served by an uncle (with the habit of putting a coin in his ear). The place usually will be packed around 12.45PM to 2.00PM. After eating, you can head on down to a famous temple in Broga Town, which has made an appearance in several movies, with Ah Long Pte Ltd being the latest one to be filmed there. Enjoy the beautiful scenery while you are there.

Price
The food served is really cheap. Like my friend, Chong, always says in Hokkien “Pan Gi Ko Tuo De”, which means “Cheap and Big Portion”.

Verdict
For those who are really adventurous and really want to explore Malaysian in and out, head on down to Broga Town, by passing through Semenyih town and the University of Nottingham first, to try the noodles out. As a student, it is definitely worth my money to eat there with tasty and cheap food being served….

Located near the Kajang football stadium, lies one of the best Satay selling places in Malaysia - Haji Samuri. It is a restaurant located in a double-storey Malay cultural wooden hut, with great atmosphere. If you are coming down to Kajang, you should definitely have a try at the shop.

Food
There are many different kinds of satay being served, ranging from chicken meat, beef meat to rabbit meat and deer meat. Apart from that, usual Malay fried rice like Nasi Pataya are also being served there, along with deserts like Ais Kacang and Cendol. Make sure you try the kuah there, it is really nice. In fact it was my first time trying satay kuah when I was there and I love it.

The chunky, juicy meat will just make your mouth feel the sense of great satisfaction.

This is the Satay Kuah. For those who are not Malaysians, it is something like Satay dressing.

Cucumber and the ketupat rice. Make sure you don’t order too much, cause they actually charge you for those.

Environment
There are two parts inside the restaurant. One with air-conditioner and one without. You can have your food upstairs too while enjoying the view of Kajang (not that great though). You can see families ordering a big bulk of satay and just enjoying themselves with deserts too. You can also see some old antiques furniture there and also an old classic red car near the entrance.

Price
This is the best part, only RM 0.60 per stick. It’s quite cheap for the portion they give, if you ask me. Plus it’s in Selangor, so the rate even makes it special. The other dishes are quite reasonably priced too. Trust me, 10 sticks will automatically make you quite full for a thin guy. So you don’t have to worry that you have to pay too much.

Verdict
Kajang Satay, which is well known by a lot of Malaysians, is definitely a fact. And how do you know which one is the best in Kajang? Well just find out where is the Kajang Stadium and Haji Samuri is located at the right side of it. If you are unfamiliar with directions, do ask around the people there. For those who are heading to Seremban or the southern region of Malaysia, Kajang would a good stop for you to try fantastic satay. Once in a lifetime experience for you and your family members to try one of the best Satay in the country….

Located near the Mid Valley’s South Court entrace of Carrefour, is jj’s Super Sandwiches. Not being a famous name, people often overlooked it, with probably fast food or the likes of Nandos and Kenny Rogers or even Japanese food on their mind. You have to be a food explorer to find new place to have good food, and jj’s Super Sandwiches is certainly not ruled out.

Food
jj’s Super Sandwiches serves sandwiches (obviously), baked potatoes with fillings, juices and fruits. It is a place or those who are more health concious and I lie a little in that category. What I usually order is the health diet et, which has a choice of either sandwich or baked potato along with a glass of juice and fruits. It really is a healthy diet isn’t it?

You have a choice of Tuna, Egg Mayo, Chicken Mayo, Turkey Breast, Cheddar and. As for the baked potatoes, I couldn’t remember what choices were being offered, as I don’t order them. White or brown bread can be chosen, as well as the offer of being toasted or served normal is available.

I usually like to order Egg Mayo, and the portion served is quite filling. A choice of Watermelon or Carrot is available for the juice, and I usually go for carrot (as it is good for the eye). With the fruits, the meal is all round healthy meal which I think will help those who have constipation. I don’t think you will be starving after that though, with maybe being not full, tops!

Egg Sandwich. Hmm, delicious !!

Environment
The environment is quite a nice place for you to put all your stress off and just have a sandwich meal with your friends/family/partners. It is neither fancy nor having emotional music, but with the view of lots and lots people just walking past the shop makes it quite priceless to me. You can look at people’s actions while hiding in the shop with a great meal in your hands.

Price
Everyone would want to know about this. Well, the picture below says it all. Yeah it’s RM 13.65 for the healthy diet set. It’s worth it if you ask me, if not I wouldn’t eat it for quite a number of times. Whether the vegetables and fruits served are organic is not in my mind, as long as I know I do not a meal which becomes junk in my body. You should not compare the price with Subway, cause Subway’s bread is special and different but their filling is lesser. Plus, this has juice and fruits!

Verdict
It’s worth a try for those who just want to have a healthy meal, instead of the usual in Mid Valley. It would be quite a nice place to relax and catch up on any chat which you have with your friends or any long lost ones. A healthy meal with a reasonable price, that’s what jj’s Super Sandwiches is all about….

Roma Pizza Club at Avenue K is a great place to dine. When I first walked in, I have to say that I was a little concern to see that the place was empty, wondering whether it taste delicious. Regardless of how deserted the place looks to me, there was nothing wrong to try a new place.

Food
I ordered a Magarita Pizza and a place of Cabonara Pasta. It was time to fill the stomach to the fullest and enjoy the rest of the evening with satisfaction, if it was good. When the pasta came, it was awesome when I tasted it. The cream was really nice and it tasted really great. I wondered why people don’t really dine in here. Then the pizza came, with a rectangle shape, instead of the good old round shape from Pizza Hut or Domino’s. The pizza was crispy thin and it was lovely to bite them. Seriously, after tasting the pizza and pasta, it was really a risk worth taking to try the shop out.

Magarita Pizza

Cabonara PastaPrice
The price of the food for the portion might not be reasonable to some, but I will feel that it is just nice, knowing that both the pizza and pasta tasted delicious. The pizza was RM 22 and the pasta was RM 13. No doubt you can get cheaper meals to full your stomach to the fullest, but for what was paid, it was really worthed it.

Environment
The environment is no doubt quiet, as there wasn’t any people dining there. But the music being played just got my emotions started with songs from Air Supply to Celine Dion. The music played made the environment even better, especially for those who are on a date. It really made the romantic mood happen.

Verdict
Price for such a delicious meal and environment, and just a light walk away from the LRT exit, Roma Pizza Club serves a delicious and different meal of pizza and pasta……

My appetizer. Vegetables mixed with green apples.

My main course.

 

I have cooked my first meal at my new house last month and to me it was a success. Of course, I would cook something in which I am familiar with - Just fried egg, sausages, hash brown, mixed vegetables and mashed potatoes (instant). It was my first time cooking salad though and I messed part of it up, because I went to steam the vegetables. After tasting it, I realised that steaming was not such a good idea as it tasted weird. Luckily, mixing it with some green apples wasn’t that bad. I had appetizer and main course, but sadly I didn’t have ice-cream to complete a perfect first meal. However, I enjoyed it….

Mamak stall or also known as Nasi Kandar stall. This is one of the famous places for Malaysian from all ages to hang out, no matter what time is it. Some stalls are equipped with big screens, so that their customers can watch soccer. Although there are quite a number of rumours on the way they cook, the customer base is still very strong. Since my friends left, I have not been to a mamak stall….

Roti canai, milo ais, teh ais and teh tarik are the favourites among Malaysians.
