Tong Pak Fu is and award wining and popular dessert outlet from Hong Kong that recently just invaded the Klang Valley. I have first come across their branch in Empire Shopping Gallery, Subang but we didn't manage to give them a try because I don't hang out there much. When they finally open their branch in Mid Valley, I decided to give them a try. Up until today, we have visited them three times already! So the photos of this post is taken at different times So let's get started on their desserts/snacks!This is their Grass Jelly with Mango Topping (RM6.80). Sorry for the blury picture. It's actually like a mango soup based dessert with some cubes of grass jelly. This tasted not so bad, but their mango smell was a bit too strong.This is their Curry Fish Balls (RM6.80) a try. It's actually fish balls soaked in curry sauce. Their fish balls are really chewy and nice. Went really really well with the curry sauce! This is really good!This is their Guava Snow Ice that comes in two size which is the regular (RM8.80) and the large (RM11.80). The ice is guava flavored and it comes with 3 toppings which are aleo vera, lychee flavored balls and we think that small balls are sago. Their guava shaved ice tasted very powdery which is a bit disturbing when eating. The aleo vera and the lychee flavored balls are okay but the sago was a bit hard. We're not so sure whether it's undercook or it's just supposed to be like that.This black balls over here is their Glutinous Rice Balls with Black Sesame and Peanut Toppings (RM4.80). This is actually one of their specialty. Usually glutinous rice balls are white in colour, but their's are actually black. There's no fillings in the inside, so it's just balls of glutinous flour. It's actually not so sweet. So if you don't like sweet things, try this! But share it with some friends, it's very filling!

Not so long ago, doughnut was one of the hottest food selling in the market where almost every doughnut shop there are bound to be loads of people lining up to get their doughnuts. But now, the doughnut craze has already cooled down. But just recently, we signed up for the Chatime card, Thirstee and they presented us with a few coupons for food and other stuff for the companies under Berjaya and Krispy Kreme was one of them. I decided to use to coupon and bought half a dozen of doughnuts for only RM10!Ta-dah! Let's start from the top row from the left to the right. The doughnut flavored on the far top and left side is the New York Cheesecake. This flavored of doughnut tasted a little funny and abnormal. Cheese and doughnut is not a really good combination :/ The flavored next to it, we forgotten the name but it has caramel drizzled all over it. This one is okay okay only. Second row, on the left is their famous original glazed. This one is really good! Not so sweet, just the right amount of sweetness.

The right one is their Hershey's Dark Chocolate. This is also one of our favorite. As it the chocolate toppings are dark chocolate, it is also not so overly sweet and went really well with the fluffy doughnut dough. The last row, on the left is their Oreo. Oreo also was really good! The boy loves Oreo! And that colourful last one is Chocolate Sprinkle. This was the boy's choice. He really like the colourfullness of the doughnut It was really crispy and crunchy on the outside, also not too bad.

Fish Head Noodles is a dish that is very widely found in many chinese hawker stalls in Malaysia. Want to know where serves the BEST Fish Head Noodles is at Win Soon Cafe. The one we visited just yesterday was the branch at Kuchai Lama, KL. They have a few branches all around Klang Valley. I am not so sure where they are but I am quite sure they have a branch at Bandar Puteri, Puchong.The upper one is the Fish Paste Noodles which also costed RM7.50 per bowl. The whole bowl is very much similar to the Fish Head Noodles except they replaced the fish head with fish paste. Everything tasted superb as what is stated above but I will like to talk about the fact that they added a few pieces of fried pork skin on top of the soup which really makes the soup smelt and tasted better. The fish paste was very squishy and chewy which is really good.

The lower one is the Fish Head Noodles that costs RM7.50 per bowl. This tasted superb! There is nothing in this bowl that I can complain about. Let's start with the soup. The soup is actually a broth that is cooked using tomatoes, preserved vegetables, spring onions and evaporated milk. Yeah, they use milk in the soup. The soup tasted milky, salty and a little sour because of the tomatoes and the preserved vegetables. I have eaten other fish head noodles, and they can't never get their soup right. It's either too diluted, or doesn't taste of anything at all. But Win Soon's soup had all the flavors that is needed in a bowl of fish head noodles. I always end up drinking all the soup Hehehe.

The fish head inside was fried till crispy and crunchy and went really well went soaked into the soup. The noodles that was used was rice vermicelli which we call it Bee Hoon in Malaysia. This noodle is used because it is able to absorb the taste of the soup.

Besides selling noodles, they have other side dishes sold. And if you're not in the mood of eating noodles or maybe you're in a no carb diet, you can just choose to have only their fish head soup. The shop is usually very crowded on the weekends and on lunch hour, so be prepared to wait for table. We went there around 10ish in the morning but we didn't need to wait for our table Their service there is also efficient and fast. It didn't take long for them to serve us our food.

Just recently, I had a chance to try Din Tai Fung's set lunch which recently just started not too long ago. Their set lunch was a 2 course meal with drinks and dessert with additional charges. Din Tai Fung is an award wining restaurant that is originated from Taiwan. Like restaurants like Dragon-I, Din Tai Fung is famous for it's small steam buns (Xiao Long Bao). Malaysia is just one of the many countries that have the opportunity to have a taste of Din Tai Fung's gastronomy. Some other countries as lucky as Malaysia are The United States, Hong Kong and Thailand.So for the first course meal, you are given four choices. You are given the choice to choose between, Hot & Sour Soup La Mian, Shrimp Pork Wantan La Mian, Cha Jiang La Mian and Pork Chop Fried Rice. We had noodles for our breakfast, so we settled on their Pork Chop Fried Rice. Their pork chop was fried to perfection. Their fried rice looked pretty simple with ingredients like egg, garlic and spring onions, but do not under estimate it. The fried rice was simple but good! It wasn't too oily or too dry. The type of rice they used was very much similar to Japanese rice. The fried pork chop went really well with the fried rice. The set also comes with a basket their famous xia long bao which comes in six pieces. So what is xiao long bao exactly? Xiao long bao is actually steam buns that the filling consist of meat (usually pork) and other ingredients. What's so special about xiao long bao is that, besides the meat filling, inside the xiao long bao contains a small amount of some kind of broth/soup. I ordered ourselves some dessert which was an additional RM4++. With every set lunch, you are allowed to order any choice of desserts which was featured in their menu for only RM4++! I ordered ourselves a bowl of Red Bean with Black Sesame Glutinous Ball. Their red bean soup was really special and nothing like can be found in other dessert shop or restaurants. Their red bean soup was really smooth and could not taste any bits or pieces of red bean. We think that the blend the red bean to make their red bean soup. So it tasted awesomely good! Not to forget their black sesame glutinous rice balls! There are two balls for each bowl. Their black sesame tasted so fresh and the layer of glutinous was so chewy. It is a really good dessert! Very highly recommended!

Austin Chase just recently started their retail store brand not too long ago, starting here in Malaysia and our neighboring country, Singapore. Their menu offers a wide variety of beverages, ranging from espresso, cappuccino, frappuchinos, teas and blended drinks. For their food, they serve cakes, pies, sandwiches, pastas and others. Besides their food and beverages, their store provides comfortable and cozy environment, complimentary Wifi, magazines, storybooks and board games for their customers. So their customers are able to entertain and enjoy themselves while dining in. So, this was what I ordered, a Turkey Ham Sandwich with white bread. This costed us about RM15+ (including tax). Inside the sandwich contained some lettuces, a pieces of melted cheese, and turkey ham. The sandwich comes with some french fries at the side. The sandwich tasted like other normal sandwiches. Nothing special. But the melted cheese that was used was a little too salty. Their french fries in the other hand was crispy and good.

I had only tried their sandwich, so I can't comment much about their food quality. But the sandwich overall, was just average. But the environment and other service provided like the free books and magazines was something really special. They also have a breakfast menu that looks nice. Their prices are on the high side. That's about it.
