super kitchen chilli panmee @ usj9

i never really understood the hype of chilli pan mee, until i tried this place. they serve one of the best. to me, what makes this place stand out are their noodles. the texture of the noodles is just not something i've tried. i seem to be lost for words on how good their noodles are. the noodles are just smooth, and when you bite into it, its that texture which makes thier noodles stand above the others.

they have several branches, my often visits are in fifteen and taipan/usj9. their menu selection may appear limited, but, really, people always go for their classic chilli pan mee signature which is noodles, tossed in some transparent oil-ish sauce, vege, crisp fried anchovies, some poached vege and topped with a poached egg. you then add the chilli according to your liking, mix them up, and it becomes this amazing creation.

 

the other thing i quite liked were their crisp-fried dumplings. although they looked burnt, the meat filling was packed filled with flavour. i loved the crunch of if im not mistaken black fungus and tiny carrots in it which just made the fillinf sweet and juicy. definitely a must order.

 

for me, my normal is the pork chop pan mee. i love the crisp fried beancurd skin (fuchuk) that comes with the noodles. it also comes with some pork chop meat. i'm a meat lover, so i normally have this to have meat to go with my meals. being an egg lover, i normally order an additional poached egg to go with this. and make no mistake, this pork chop is made of 3 quarters of lean meat and a quarter of fatm making the meat very tender. its also fried to crisp up the sides.

definitely a foodies' must try, be it whether you've been in malaysia and ignorant hence have not heard of this place or u r coming back from studying overseas fro too long a time, or just travelling in to malaysia for a visit. this is definitely a must try. truly a 10 out of 10 kind of food.

porridge time @sunway pyramid

porridge time, more familiar name being its canto name feng yi zhuk sek. i was really fascinated by the name of this porridge shop. i mean its blurdy cool. feng yi zhuk sek basically means, surviving sufficiently, and since the 3rd word is pronounced similarly to porridge in chiense, they replaced the 3rd word with porridge and that made their name. well i thought it was cool hehe. but in english, its just known as porridge time.

so i like how they served the porridge in claypots. the porridge comes piping hot. i know because i was rushing for my movie, and was like oh-my why is my porridge so hot after ages, i'm going to be late for my movie. i love claypot anything, so unsurprisingly, i loved the porridge here. the consistency of the porridge was perfect for me and the portion was good as well. i felt like i had a never-ending-supply of porridge. on the side, you add your own sesame oil, soy sauce and pepper, to your own pallate. i had the fish porridge with an extra salted egg. i mean porridge without salted egg, is like an incomplete dish. hehe. as you can see from the menu, they also serve up other claypot dishes as well, but a shop that prides itself on their porridge, i mean of course u order their porridge.

 

definitely good porridge. a place i'd go back to for porridge when i'm in a mall, craving for hearty porridge. love the consistency, love the range of options, and love the flavours.

honkee porridge @ taipan

i was feeling porridge, and have heard of honkee porridge. famous for their branch in petaling street, they've been recruited to be a part of the great streetfoods in kl combo in the lot 10 food court. this place apparently built up great rapport since the 1940s so i was pretty hyped up to try their porridges. moreover thiers is of a smooth consistency, not the grainy teochew porridge kind which ain't my thing. they have quite a number of outlets now, in ss15, and lot 10, ss2, taipan.

 their signature is of course their frog legs porridge and raw fish porridge and also pork intestine porridge. i'm not particularly adventurous so i don't eat frogs. pork intestines are also not my thing. like i love pork intestine soup, but i dont eat the intestines, i just drink the soup. so i settled for the sliced raw fish porridge.

 priced at 6.80, well its cheaper than the porridge you get at canton-i i must say. the porrideg was piping hot, and when you dip the thiny sliced fish into the porridge, it semi cooks it. i loved the generous helpings of ginger and the consistensy of the porridge. but i did not like the sliced fish. they had some sinue, it was like some smi bone in between the meat of the fish. so eating the fish wasn't very pleasant for me. poridge was good but not the fish, so maybe next time i will go for the meatball porridge instead.

quite a good place to have porridge if u r a porridge person. i think its difficult to get not-overpriced-porridge these days. i mean 12 bucks for a bowl of porridge is just plain ridiculous. i mean dude its just rice and water, how much do you wana rrip me off for that. overall pretty good. but now, with competition coming from feng yi zhuk sek, they need to buck up man. not my fav porridge joint, but not bad. i mean they must be famous for something. cuz there's pride in their name.

paradise dynasty @paradigm mall

the menu of paradise dynasty echoes that of dintaifung and dragon-i/canton-i. the first thing you'd notice walking into the restaurant is their grand interior design. situated in the middle of the restaurant is a grand budha statute. but i thought it was a little fail, cuz i don't know about you guys, but eating meat in front of budha made me feel a little uncomfortable. i mean i had my back facing budha, but nevertheless.

famous are their colored siu long baos. each siu long bao was of a different flavour. the black (truffle), grey (garlic), white (original), brown (foie gras), orange (crab roe), yellow (cheese), pink (sze chuan) and green (ginseng). 23.80 for 8 of the flavoured ones, whereas 6 of the orignal sui long baos costs rm 16. i thought this was okay, i loved the garlic one cuz i'm a sucker for garlic. i honestly thought ordering a whole basket of garlic would have been a better fit for me.  

 

poached beef la mian in chilli soup. one word-spicy. there was a layer of oil, to retain the heat of the soup so that the beef can slowly poach in the soup.22 ringgit to get your taste buds on fire, like really on fire. this is one hell of a spicy dish.

scrambled egg white, with white fish, fried scallops and a raw yolk seated on top. i thougt it was a pretty interesting dish. it had the shark fin soup consistency, minus the guilt. but this was a disappointment. i could hardly taste the dry scallops nor find any fish. this dish was rather tasteless, and certainly not worth the 20 bucks one has to fork out for eggs.

 

these pork wontons were also super spicy. i think the chefs here have a thing for spicy food. rm9.

how could i end without dessert right? egg white souffles, with banana and red bean fililng. rm8. i thought that there was too little filling, the filling to souffle ratio was out of proportion sadly. not something i would order again nor recommend to order.

other than the xio long baos, the rest of the stuffs were so-so. plus the environment making me uncomfortable eating meat, don't think there'll be a second, unless i take-out. but mind you the special siu long baos do attract a pretty big crowd so be prepared to que especially during peak hours.
