Weird posture of eating

There is a restaurant in Kota Damansara with a name of lemongrass (translate & figure it out).

Me & my friends went there couple of weeks ago for dinner.

When our ordered foods arrived, they were served in a mini-frying pans on stove instead of normal plates.

It's quite unique come to think of it.

However, being a soon-to-be safety practitioner I quickly noticed that it was an ergonomics nightmare of eating posture.

After dealing with some strain in my arms, I managed to finish my Nasi Goreng...

This is how my friends & I looked like after the dinner:

P/S: After finishing this post, I realized why the hell didn't I use the plates provided along with the mini pans???

Mee Banjir Udang Mak Teh Kuala Sepetang

One of the most craved & overly hyped food is none other than Mee Banjir Udang Mak Teh in Kuala Sepetang, Perak. The shop has appeared in virtually all food guide programmes in TV.

Damn, the Mee Banjir is so tempting that deep down in my heart, it's one of the reason I moved from Johor to Perak (Yes, insane... and stupid).

Anyway, Mak Teh's shop is located in Kuala Sepetang not far from Taiping. To be more exact, just refer the map below:

From Simpang main traffic light, just take the road to Kuala Sepetang.

On the way, you'll see this Ngah Ibrahim's Fort aka Kompleks Sejarah Larut-Matang.

Keep going until you meet this new signboard on your left:

Or this legendary signboard:

The main dish here is Mee Banjir Udang. They use fresh sea prawns here. And for a plate costed RM12, you'll be having 6 gigantic size sea prawns!

Aside from Mee Banjir (you can substitute with kuetiaw or beehoon), there's also Mee Goreng Udang & Nasi Goreng Udang.

After a while...

I'll definitely tapao the RM12 Mee Goreng Udang to be savoured at home, aside from the aroma in my car on the way back...

However, only 1 of the 6 giant prawns are fresh. Shit!

Personal notes:
1. A must try, especially if you're a prawn lover.
2. It's good due to the prawns.
3. They use fresh prawns for dine-in but 'not-so-fresh' prawns for take away, so enjoy the dishes there.
4. RM12 for 6 XL size prawns is quite ok but they also have RM8 & RM10 meal.
5. Quite crowded during holiday season.
6. The service is good, perhaps due to the prepare the kuah (gravy) in large amount.
7. Lots of flies. Interestingly the don't land on the prawns. Maybe they have boring or the prawns are heavily laced with formaldehyde. Hahaha! Joking only...

Yik Mun Tanjung Malim Pau

This is my first attempt on food guide & review.

Anyway, let's head to Tanjung Malim, Perak where the Pau (Steamed Bun) has been famous for generations.

Located at the main intersection near UPSI, it's quite impossible to be missed.

It's open from 9am - 10pm daily. However the best time to go there is 9.30am as they also started to steam the buns on 9am.

So I ordered a refreshing cup of lemon tea while waiting.

My personal favourites are bean & kaya filled paus. Look at those!


The paus here are very fluffy, unlike any other paus I tasted anywhere.

Aside from paus, they also serve other typical kopitiam foodstuff. Too many that I won't list them out here.

They also have western foods... Wallahey! Prawn steak? Slurrrppp...

You can also buy frozen pau to steam back at home.

Honest review: The paus are good indeed but not enough to keep me addicted, but it's just me...
