At Food Republic, I quickly browsed through the stalls available and decided that Mixed Rice could work better as healthier "fast food" before my appointment. I didn't have to wait for anything to be cooked or heated. There were quite a few stalls that were selling Mixed Rice with different dishes, but the shrimps at Scissor Cut Curry Rice were simply too tempting, which was why I selected this particular stall in addition to the convenience.Generally, it was good, and the price was definitely a killer. I would, nevertheless, prefer the eggplants to be cooked and soaked together with the vegetable curry instead of having them separated, making them tasteless. The fried bun was just something pricey that I took, at RM1.20 each if I am not mistaken.

Face to Face Noodles House at Taylor's University is not a good example of the saying, although inaccurate, that goes, "Good foods are never found in restaurants with multiple outlets." Their Pan Mee was not disappointing after all, even though incomparable with Kam Kei Noodles House in Selayang. Personally, it seems like a restaurant that sells overpriced Pan Mee, crowded only during peak hours.I have only visited this particular outlet at Taylor's University for not more than five times, to be frank, and another outlet located somewhere within the country for merely once. I have tried their Creations Minced Pork Pan Mee, House Specialty Hot and Spicy Pan Mee (Dry), and Sichuan Piquant Pan Mee (less spicy), so I decided to challenge myself with their Vegetarian Hot and Spicy Pan Mee (Dry). I ended up eating it regretfully. I was about to be able to spout some flame and lava, I swear!

My overall experience with their Pan Mee was quite ordinary. In fact, I tend to take this restaurant as a backup, in case my original plan is somehow ruined.This is something that I would never want to order ever again. I was craving for a cup of Soya Bean with Longan, and I mistook this cup of Longan Fresh Milk as what I thought it was. It was not too bad as a cup of milk, but I never like milk, that's why.

Apart from Pan Mee, Face to Face Noodles House sells Sarawak noodles, rice noodles, rice, side orders, breads, and desserts, and each of them come with various choices. As I review about the restaurant, I have come to realize that Face to Face Noodles House also specializes in the local fare with excellent fusion of Sarawak's homemade noodles, widely known as "Kolok Mee". I should give it a good try soon!

Nothing could be more suitable and filling than a plate of Mixed Rice as a quick and affordable meal. You could always choose the amount of rice you would like to have, and pick your most preferred dishes at a relatively lower cost than any other cafes and restaurants. The time consumed is no longer worried. Hence, Don and I would sometimes have our lunch dates at 126 Mixed Rice Restaurant, and he's still visiting this restaurant very frequently for its wide selection of delicious dishes.On this particular Saturday, both of us got ourselves a plate of Mixed Rice each, with similar dishes, including vegetables and a generous amount of Hakka Braised Pork with Black Fungus. I added a Hard-boiled Egg in Sambal for myself because it was simply too tempting. These cost us less than RM10.00 in total, with free flow of plain water and Chinese Tea, with or without ice depending on your own preference.

To date, I have only visited this restaurant for three times. It was never crowded despite the many tables they have. In terms of dishes, their vegetables were pretty ordinary. Nevertheless, as a person who is very particular about pork meat, I would highly recommend their Hakka Braised Pork with Black Fungus, because the meat was extremely soft and tender, although quite fattening. It could be a good place to fill up your stomach, especially when you're on a tight budget.

I'm sure I will return to the same place again!

It is quite unlikely that I would appear at Sukimye Hainan Kopitiam, a mini restaurant located within walking distance from Taylor’s University and my place, at 1.00pm on Friday. I was supposed to be having a meeting with the members of PATA Malaysia Student Chapter. That day was an exception. Kah Mun, Natalia and I decided that we should step out of the campus for a while to take a breath after getting our blood boiled due to some reason.Kah Mun had a strong crave for their Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken, so I decided to order the same thing as her to give it a try. However, they ran out of “stock” as usual and only managed to provide me with Nasi Lemak with Chicken Rendang. I accepted the offer.

To be honest, I used to be quite of a frequent customer of Sukimye Hainan Kopitiam, and their food has always been quite ordinary. I was, and I still am, more than willing to return to the place again and again because of the homely taste it has to offer for a person who doesn't stay together with any family members. Besides, their price is more affordable compared to those restaurants and cafe available in the campus.

It was waaaaaaayyy before I graduated from Diploma in Tourism Management that Don and I went to Backofen at Taylor’s Univerisy, which was still quite new in the campus. I still visit this restaurant with my girls today, and I have been in love with their Big Breakfast Set, even though it’s extremely filling.This plate of Potato Salad topped with their homemade creamy mayonnaise was so delicious, partly due to my love for potatoes. We nodded our heads once we tasted a mouthful of it. Just a few days ago, I ordered myself a plate of Chicken Schnitzel that came together with a small bunch of potato salad. It was slightly less creamy than it used to be, but still tasted as great.

However, it is not recommended to be consumed as a side dish, because the portion might be too huge for most people.Don ordered Spaghetti Carbonara cooked with thick, creamy sauce. The awesome smell assailed my nostrils upon serving. In addition, I had been receiving positive feedback all the while, from my friends who had given it a good try.

You be the judge!I ordered Grilled Chicken topped with mushroom sauce, served together with grilled potatoes. I personally think that the boneless chicken could have been slightly bigger, but the sauce was yummy.

Just for your information, the comments are based on my opinion a few years back, and it does not mean that everything would be the same today, unless mentioned above. If you happen to be a big eater and would like to have heavy breakfast in the morning, go for their Big Breakfast Set. It's been a great meal when I only have an hour break in between. Also, they only serve breakfast in the morning, and only breakfast.
