Go Street Noodle @ Sri Petaling

Image
 Go Noodle House has always been my go-to place whenever I'm in the mood for a warm bowl of noodles, especially on rainy days. I recently got to know that they have a sister company called Go Street Noodle and of course, I was really eager to find out what differences do they have and which of this two company is better.   I went to the outlet in Sri Petaling which has just opened recently. I was there just before 12pm and it was already quite pack. Everything from the vibes and interiors in GSN are almost similar, if not, just like GNH. Items on the menu are quite different but there are still a few familiar dishes. What differs GSN from GNH, selection wise is that they serve rice and dry noodles here and has a variety of side dishes to go with the dry noodles.  (@fixingcravings is my own account) Tok Tok Mee (Thick) with Bursting Meat Ball [RM11.90] in Superior Soup I always have the Bursting Meatball whenever I dine at GNH so I had to order this and c...

Dotty's Pastries & Coffee @ KLCC

Image
  Known for their salted egg yolk cronuts, Dotty's has recently opened a new outlet in KLCC. They have two outlets in Bangsar and one in TTDI, which is the one that I always go to. Seeing that I was really in a sweet tooth mood, I dropped by their new outlet recently and also tried a few dishes that I've not tried before. Interiors are similar to the other outlets.   We ordered their Eggs Benedict with Soft Shell Crab (RM28). Compared to few other cafes that I've been to with similar price range, their egg-ben is relatively smaller. Frankly speaking, I was quite disappointed with the presentation and it's definitely the least appealing egg ben dish I've had. Hollandaise sauce was barely enough which made the whole dish really drying as you can see.    We were there around 11am and was told that the pastries will only be ready by 12pm. I wasn't in a rush so I didn't mind waiting but honestly, the preparation speed is just really slow. I...

Hits & Misses at Malaysia Boleh! @ Four Seasons Place KL

Image
  I've been to the Malaysia Boleh! food court in Singapore years ago but all that I can remember is that it was quite a hectic dinner, as you would expect from a food court. The rest of the memories are now hazy in the mind.   If you have not heard of or been to Malaysia Boleh! , it is a food court that houses more than 14 stalls of popular local delicacies from different states. There's Penang Laksa, Pudu Fried Chicken, Klang Bak Kut Teh and the list goes on. This is definitely the perfect food spot for both local and tourists as you can try some of Malaysia's famous delicacies all in one space!                                          The Penang Laksa (RM10) was one of the better ones that I've had. The sourness and thickness of the broth was just how I like my laksa to be. This dish just hits all the right spots.   I'm not a fan of Hokkien mee but th...

Brunch at Birch @ DC Mall

Image
Follow my food account @fixingcravings on IG for daily food reviews!   Brunch is my favourite meal of the day and I knew that I have to make another trip to Birch to try their brunch menu after the amazing dinner that I had last month. [click here for the dinner menu review] Birch is now my favourite eatery in KL. Everything from the interior, ambience, and most importantly the food always makes me want to return again!   Birch Benedict [RM26] that consists of spicy pulled chicken, barbecue sauce, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce on toasted sourdough with salad on the side. From my observance, it's a dish that did not fail to appear on every table during the brunch hours and I can definitely tell why. If you never thought that barbecue sauce and hollandaise sauce can go well together, Birch will proof you wrong!  Watch me take my first bite + reaction here [20:29]   This was lip smacking good and easily one of the best egg benedict I had ...

Breakfast at Paul Bakery @ Pavillion KL

Image
Follow my new food account @fixingcravings on IG for more daily food reviews! A French chain of bakery/cafe, Paul Bakery is no stranger to all those pastries lovers out there! I've lost count of the number of times I've walked pass it, staring at those yummy desserts and pastries. I was very excited when my uncle wanted to have breakfast there last week. Paul in Pavillion has a total of 3 sections. There's one where it's the take-away style, the middle section is the more casual seating area, and the other one is more like a restaurant seating. We were there around 10:15am and the "casual seating area" was already almost full.  I went for the typical breakfast choice, Eggs Benedict (RM27) that comes with 2 poached eggs on a bed of turkey ham, fresh spinach, radish and toasted brioche topped with Hollandaise sauce. Taste wise, quite authentic. Not too sure about the fresh spinach used as they are quite hard to get hold of and it does make quite a...

Mak's Chee Authentic Wonton Noodle @ Midvalley

Image
 Wonton Mee is always my go-to choice whenever I eat at kopitiams. It's quick, simple and nice. Mak's Chee is one of Hong Kong's famous eateries so when I heard that they had recently opened an outlet in Midvalley, I was beyond excited. My expectations were really high as I've read good reviews about it. My friend and I went there around 6:30pm and to be honest, I wasn't expecting to wait in a queue so when I did, my expectations got even higher. We waited around 10 minutes before being seated.   All the noodles here comes in either small or large. We didn't know how big is the portion for large so we went for the small. When it comes to wonton mee, I prefer eating the dry version as I love the sweetness from the oyster sauce.  I had the Wonton   Dry Noodle with Prawn Roe [S:RM14.90] that comes with wonton hidden at the bottom. I've not tasted prawn roe before so I didn't know what to expect. I find the noodles really dry that they are all cl...

Dinner at Lai Po Heen @ Mandarin Oriental

Image
Said to be one of the places that serves the finest Cantonese Chinese dishes, Lai Po Heen at Mandarin Oriental, a 5-star hotel that needs no introduction was our choice of restaurant for that night's family reunion dinner. Easily  one of the most elegant and luxurious Chinese restaurant that I've dine in. As you walk in, you'll see an open kitchen where chefs can be seen showcasing their skills. We started off with one of their highlighted dish, Peking Duck . The duck skin was almost perfect but somehow, I like it crispier and it's meat are tender. A good kick off to wet my appetite. Their Deep Fried Boneless Chicken with Lemon Sauce (RM43) was everyone's favourite that we even ordered another one. This classic Chinese dish that was given a tweak or two had definitely brought my bar for lemon chickens up to the peak! The sauce was the most memorable and had Wow-ed me for a few good seconds.  It has this mixture of mild and robust flavour, hi...
