A day before I departed to Genting Highlands with Don for a short getaway, we went all the way to Sunway Pyramid to hunt films for my camera that is yet to be shown to everyone. As soon as we arrived at the mall, I remember telling Don that I will diet to lose weight after consuming huge amount of food within three months. However, half way through shopping, we stopped at Cornet for an ice-cream each. There goes my words said previously. Hah!

 
Apparently, that's how the process goes. Pick your most preferred flavor, choose between agepan and cup, pay for your dessert, and that's it. For your information, agepan is literally bun shaped like a cone, and deep fried with boiling oil upon ordering to form a crispy outer layer for better taste between hot and cold. I didn't like the idea though, because our agepan had rather strange taste, probably due to the oil used repeatedly.

Still, I can't deny the fact that serving an ice-cream in such a way helps to provide convenience to the customers, allowing them to eat while they walk around the mall.

 

 
You're of course allowed to try the different flavors of ice-cream they have to offer. I chose Espresso and Don selected his favorite Coconut. Personally, the Espresso tasted just like any other coffee-based ice-cream that was a little too sweet for my liking. With such quality, it could have cost so much lesser than the amount we paid. Conversely, the Coconut was awesome, to the extent that I nearly wanted to throw mine into the dustbin and snatch his away. tongue

If I were to visit the same place again, which is quite unlikely that I ever would, I am sure I will not opt for agepan anymore. It tasted weird, and it’s extremely oily. It's a bread or a bun that didn't taste like one. Would I ever go for their ice-cream again? Hm, let's see.

Don and I dropped by Wok Sifu at JUSCO Metro Prima to give it another shot, despite the past incident that took place at the exact location prior to its renovation. It is a restaurant that operates similarly to Wong Kok Char Chan Teng, which it comes with a slogan, "To taste Hong Kong, taste in Wong Kok".

Wok Sifu was promoting set dinner during our visit, valid from 6pm to 9pm. Each set meal came with a main meal of your choice from a list stated on the menu, and a cup of drink. By adding only RM1, you can easily enjoy an extra bowl of Mushroom Soup.

 

 

 
Don's Pork Dolsot Bee Beem Bab has a weirder name than how it usually is in most Korean restaurants, the bibimbap. It is a signature Korean dish that is literally translated as mixed rice, topped with several types of vegetables and it often comes together with gochujang, a type of Korean hot pepper paste in red. Honestly, though, the one served at Wok Sifu may be considered fine as a bowl of ordinary mixed rice, but it is far from being a Korean dish.

His set dinner came together with a cup of Iced Hong Kong Style Yin Yong, a mixture of coffee and tea, at RM16.50 per set, and a bowl of Mushroom Soup that popped out of nowhere without us being charged.

 
Many restaurants that offer Hong Kong cuisine tend to have huge variety of food on the menus, causing difficulty in choosing merely one every darn time. Thus, I had no choice but to go for my usual selection, the Cheese Baked Rice with Chicken Chop. I thought it was okay, without extraordinarily good or bad savor, except the fact that it's extremely filling for a smaller eater.

My set with a cup of Iced Hong Kong Style Milk Tea cost similarly as Don's, plus a bowl of Mushroom Soup that you could easily grab from the supermarkets and make one of your own at home.

In my opinion, Wok Sifu hadn't changed much ever since my second-to-last visit. Everything remained, and the prices were still within the range. Similar food of better quality with more affordable prices could certainly be found elsewhere. Perhaps it would be a great place to dine in at, only if you are out of some better choices for a meal.

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!

Wantan Soup. I wasn't very hungry when I went to the restaurant with one of my friends, so I decided to order something light. It wasn't really light though, because it was covered with a layer of oil when it was served, as you can see from the picture, and there're 10 dumplings filled with minced pork each. The vegetables were very difficult to be bitten because they're huge in size and, just hard. Generous amount of MSG was believed to be added as well.

This will never be something I would prefer, unless I run out of choice. Ugh!

Iced Coffee and Iced Macau Milk Tea. To be very honest, they’re either tasteless or weird. The Iced Coffee was something that I would not be able to recognize if I did not look through the menu beforehand. It tasted like a cup of coffee mixed with something extra in order to enhance the taste yet it became a failure, and was served anyway.

 
Polo Pork Chop Bun.

 
Signature Pork Chop Bun.

Both of them were similar. The pork chops were harder than expected, to the extent that I actually got tired of biting when I was still far from finishing my meal. The bun for Signature Pork Chop Bun was crispy and hard, creating yet another disaster for my meal of the day. The only thing I would prefer was the polo bun, because it was softer with some slight sweetness in it.

As I walked out of the restaurant, I turned to my boyfriend and said, "I might return to this place again, only if I am really, really, really hungry, looking for a quick meal, and coincidentally passing by this area."
