Brunch at Mekong House Restaurant OK Jul 10, 2013

Iced Vietnamese Drip Coffee. This is probably the best Vietnamese Drip Coffee I have ever tried in Malaysia. Wait for the coffee to drip into the small glass, stir it well together with the condensed milk, and pour it skillfully (or it will be all over the table) into the bigger glass filled with ice. Take a sip before the ice starts to melt and enjoy the fragrance!

If you don’t want it to be overly sweet, do not stir all of the condensed milk together, and when you pour it into the bigger glass, do not pour the remaining condensed milk into it as well.

 
Fresh Spring Roll. I specifically ordered one without mint leaves, because I never like the taste of a mint leave. It was quite okay, although slightly tasteless. However, if you are perfectly fine with mint leaves, perhaps it would be a good starter for a meal.

 
Lemongrass Chicken with Rice. This is one of my favorite in Mekong House, and I wasn’t already new to it. The fragrance of lemongrass was always strong, with a little bit of spiciness. Still, I was never satisfied with the fact that the sauce was always too little, and chicken breast was usually served together instead of chicken thigh or drumstick.

Additionally, their waiters and some of the waitresses are extremely friendly. Of so many visits, I have never seen annoyed faces no matter how troublesome some of their customers were, and they’re always prepared to help anyone whenever necessary.

The Street Cafe at Asian Avenue, Sunway Pyramid, is a place that serves the simplest and most common Korean street food like ramyeon, tteokbokki, bibimbap, and many more. I’ve been to the same place for several times. It wouldn’t be my favorite place to go, but whenever I run out of idea for a place for food, I would still choose this.

 

 
Don and I were both in the mood to eat bibimbap, so he ordered BBQ Chicken Bibimbap, while I ordered Tuna Bibimbap to be slightly adventurous. Both were quite similar, except that they contained different meats. One thing to be noted though, was that the sauce was extremely spicy. As soon as I finished my meal (well, I didn’t really finish it because the portion was too big, so Don handled the remaining rice), I was the one refilling his cup of Iced Korean Tea again and again to reduce the spiciness in his mouth, and I had to drink a little to help myself at the same time.

Perhaps you should ask to separate the sauce so that you could add it based on your own preference.

It has been a while since the day I started to have strong craving for Mille Crepe. The ones available at Ochado are never in my list, but since Don and I were killing time at Sunway Pyramid, we decided to give it a try to avoid boredom.

 
Usually, we would go for any kind of milk tea. This time in particular, we were on an adventurous mode, so we decided to try Grape Yogurt Aloe Vera Tea. I loved to bite the aloe vera lying underneath, but once is just enough for the cup of drink. I personally dislike the feeling my throat was having then, just because of the tea.

 
Unfortunately, Vanilla Mille Crepe was sold out, so we had no choice but to order Chocolate Mille Crepe instead. I thought it wasn't worth the penny. I would usually prefer to feel the layers of crepes as I bite it, but this piece of Chocolate Mille Crepe was slightly too sticky and not something I would want to eat ever again.

I have heard of positive comments about the milk tea offered by Ochado, so I guess I should just stick to it and forget about any other drinks available.

Basically, K3K is an abbreviation of Kwai Sam Kee, literally translated as K3K Kopitiam. "Sam" means three in Cantonese, by the way. The idea of setting up K3K Benta Kaya came from Ho Kwai Sam, a man who used to tap rubber and operate a grocery to earn a living. It was inspired by the strenuous efforts of the rubber tappers in getting a good cuppa and bread to go with before work. After 50 years of history at Benta, Kuala Lipis, Pahang, K3K Benta Kaya opened its first branch in Damansara Perdana, and expanded its business to Subang Jaya, Bukit Tinggi, Klang, Kuchai Lama, and etc. – Edited from K3K Benta Kaya, Malaysia (http://k3kbentakaya.blogspot.com/)

 
I don't usually do this. I was completely insane to order a cup of Hot Soya Honey Ginger with extra sugar. Needless to say, I regretted. It tasted so bitter that I had to mix almost every mouthful of it with some kaya in my mouth before I swallowed.

 
Halfway through our dinner, Don decided to order another cup of drink consisting of coconut milk, sago, and red beans if I am not mistaken. Both of us couldn't quite remember its name, and it was nowhere to be found on the worldwide web. I guess it was good, or at least better than Hot Soya Honey Ginger, judging from my recall of intention to jokingly exchange our drinks.

 
Kaya Char Kuih! Just by looking at the picture shown on the menu, we pretty much drooled. Prepared and tasted similarly to our traditional You Tiao, K3K Benta Kaya served it together with their homemade kaya. Although the combination of sweetness and saltiness may be weird, I thought it was unique, and it could have been perfect if the amount of sugar used for their kaya could be reduced.

 
Apparently, Penghulu Fried Chicken with Rice was listed as one of the chef recommendations on the menu, and I have seen plenty of positive comments from several bloggers as I went through the internet for more information. Fried to perfection, the fried chicken was crunchy on the outside, and tender on the inside. Dip it into the bowl of curry that was not spicy with strong taste of coconut milk, and it will be perfect.

It is, nevertheless, not advisable for people who concern about weight and health.

 
My Curry Chicken Rice was very ordinary, to be frank. Still, I loved how K3K Benta Kaya served their meals with a small bunch of Mamak Style Fried Cabbage each to sort of balance the nutrition.

I know I will definitely return one day, perhaps another brunch, because I have yet to try their side dishes that tempted me so badly during my visit. Price wise, it's similar to other cafes like PappaRich, In House Cafe, and etc. Be sure to give it a try!

It wasn't my first visit to Matsuba Japanese Restaurant at Syopz, a building in the campus that offers a unique blend of retail and food and beverages outlets. Matsuba Japanese Restaurant seems to be one of the best available places in the campus among the other 23 outlets, which explains my return for lunch together with my friend, Kah Mun.

 
As usual, I ordered a Tamago Maki as snack, although my meal was filling enough. It wasn't as good as a sushi. It was nothing compared to those sold in Sakae Sushi or Rakuzen. It was slightly too pricy at RM2.50 per box per six pieces. It was just something more affordable that solved my craving.

Nuff said.

 
If I'm not mistaken, I was attacked by sore throat then. Instead of killing myself with a bowl of Chicken Katsu Don, I ordered Oyako Don at RM12.90, which the chicken was never fried, and mushrooms were added, topped with an egg that did not act as perfectly as an icing on a cake but still better than none.

For a person who never likes sashimi like me, I personally think that Matsuba Japanese Restaurant does not have a wide selection of food. I have been to this restaurant for no less than five times in total, and to date, my orders were always between Chicken Katsu Don and Oyako Don. Their Curry Rice is recommended too, if you are fine with curry with zero spiciness.

Hm.
