Heard about Fat Spoon from pals working around Damansara Utama. So here it is...I remembered only when someone asked me how to make popiah!

Tucked in the middle of a row of shops is this place called Fat Spoon. The name itself is cute. And not knowing what to expect, I opened the door to a place that's quite filled with happy diners. The warm cozy feel inside took my breath away. It was as if I walked into someone's dining room.Was in for my next surprise when the menu arrived. I was given 2 Lady Bird books. I blinked. Lady Bird Books I don't have any kids with me. I certainly don't look like a kid. The lady walked back and smiled at me. Gently she said "That's our menu." Hmmmm.Looked through both books and ordered our food and drinks. I can't resist books. So requested that I could hang on to the book because I wanted to read them (and yes learn new terms - if you remember your Lady Bird books, you'll be learning new terms and words).Service is quite fast. My Ulam Fried Rice arrived shortly followed by Dennis' Chicken Curry. I loved my Ulam Fried Rice. It was flavourful with an assortment of herbs and vegetables - nothing overwhelmed each ingredient. The Kunyit Fried Chicken that came along with it was also fabulous flavourful. It was very close to how my Goon family grannies and aunties did it. The only complain perhaps was that the Ulam Fried Rice was a tad wet and oily for my liking. I've always liked my fried rice dry and one of the ways to achieve such effect is to cook your white the day before (granny shared this cooking tip with me).Hubby ordered the Nyonya Curry Chicken. It tasted OK. Wasn't anything out of the extraordinary except the long beans was cooked just right. Not too soft neither was it hard and raw.Now the fun part. We ordered the popiah and the lady asked if we wanted to roll our own popiah "Roll my own popiah" Yes yes yes...I'll love that. So when it arrived, I was all super ready to play with my food. Spread some of the sweet prawn paste on the popiah skin. You can spread a thicker layer if you like the prawn paste. This would be a good time to spread the chilli paste for an even taste. Put in a slice of lettuce and then a little of all the ingredients. Read "a little" of else you'll have an overstuffed popiah that will not fold nicely. Hehehe. Hubby certainly went a wee too enthusiastic and his looked a wee bloated.All in all, Fat Spoon is a lovely place to return too. I did not try the coffees then as it was dinner time. Soon, we shall return to try more items and the coffees that many pals told me that I must try. And since I can bring my furkid Shalom along (sit outside of course) this place sounds like a new haunt for us (only if the weather does not hit 39C as it has been the last couple of weeks).

And the receipt was also served in a book. This time a romance book. Yeah from kids learning to read (t order our food) and a romance book (for our bill), I certainly have grown a lot over dinner at Fat Spoon

My friend & I always opt for seafood when it comes to friend's gathering. And Pantai Seafood is always be our first choice! Why? Because of the location, price, food quality & environment!

Our favourite dishes (MUST ORDER):The crispy fried leafy part of the Kailan tasted like a little like seaweed. Just love the vege...if you are that type of NO VEGE person, trust me...you gonna love it! Fresh crab fried with salted egg...amazing combination. You can taste the saltiness and the right amount of sweetness. Love eating with my hands, finger licking good This pork knuckle, ironically, tastes crispy, crunchy and juicy. They serve with some sweet sauce as well.

Walking in Mid Valley the whole afternoon makes me hungry again. It's 4pm and I plan to have a cup of tea and have some titbits. I came across this place and decided to go in. On their menu, there's this photo of this pancake which is made of durian. My curiosity caught me again and I ordered the Durian Pancake. When it's been served to me, I noticed it is served cold; 3 bite-sized cubes, decorated with peppermint leaf and chocolate syrup spread zig-zag across the plateI used my fork to break it apart and I can see the gooey durian paste stretching out from the remaining of the pancake. The durian paste is surrounded with white cream and covered with a thin crepe. When dipped with the chocolate syrup, it was a dessert to behold. I never thought it would tasted so good in the mouth. The durian is fresh and sweet (although I prefer bitter) and it goes well with the chocolate syrup and cream. You won't feel bloated from the first bite till the last. Don't believe me? Then you should give it a try

Kagawa Prefecture is well known for its' wheat noodles (Sanuki Udon) and Taman Desa is also famous for Sanuki Udon too. A lot of locals staying around the area talks about it and I was curious to see what's the fuss. So my girlfriend and I went to this hidden gem located in a quiet neighbourhood shoplot in Taman Bukit Desa. It was packed by people during lunch hours. When we got our seats, we order Udon with Egg, Udon Soup, Kakiage and Karaage (Chicken). The texture of the udon is thick but smooth. The kakiage is fried to crisp and it tastes really good when dipped into mayonnaise mixed together with wasabi. Yes, you heard that right! The chicken karaage was juicy, crispy and meaty. Regretted we have no chance to try on the shiitake yakitori, momo (leg meat) yakitori, kawa (skin) yakitori and a few others. It is only available in the evening after 6pm. Surely I will go back again for the yakitori's. Did I mention that the green tea only cost RM1 and it can be refill?
