My friend is so addicted to chilly pan me, a name I never heard before. She would constantly mention it and how delicious it is. So one day I decided to check it out too, and I was a bit worried at first if it’s halal or not but we asked the boss, and he said the chilly pan mee is halal.

The restaurant is located at Sunway damansara, and the place is quite cozy. However, do not go during lunch hour.. it’ll be so PACKED.

Chilly Pan Mee: RM 5.50

This is what chilly pan mee looks like when it arrived. Plain huh? Even I was thinking, ‘what could be so special about this?’ This is the supposedly halal bowl.. it consist of the noodle, half boiled egg, fried garlic (I think) and mushrooms.. the other bowl contains minced meat I presume, but I’m not sure what kind of meat.. it’s probably not halal and also without the mushroom. I don’t mind eating at a non halal place as long as I get a halal bowl (no pork).

Extra Mushrooms: RM 1

We ordered extra mushroom since the other bowl with meat has no mushroom.. turns out it cost RM 1 extra.

Your pan mee comes with a bowl of soup too.. and I’m assuming it’s fishball soup? I love the taste though. Just plain soup and eggs and fishball and some leaves.

This is the main attraction. The chilli! It has the taste of fried chilli.. quite dry. Now becareful, this chilli is HOT.. and I have thick tongue because I love to eat ridiculously large amount of chilli but this I tell you, is different. What you do is that you put a small amount of chilli into your pan me and mix it with the noodle.

This is how it looks after you mix in the chilli. It taste DAMN GOOD. Seriously. It’s sinfully delicious after you mix in the chilli, the egg, the mushroom, anchovies… but every single time I’d suffer a stomach burn after and it’ll last until the next day. That’s how hot it is. But, can someone enlighten me on the ‘halal’ ness of the food? I’d love to know if other food has pork or not but obviously the pan mee I had does not contain any pork in it, but you have to request the halal one or they’ll give you the one with meat.

Looking at the pictures is making my mouth waters already.

IKEA is on of my favorite restaurants. One of the signature dish is the delicious swedish meatballs. That has always been my favorite ‘must get’ food each time I eat there until I tasted the chicken whole leg with swedish herb and lemon sauce.. I still love the meatballs but I wanted a change and taste other food. So yesterday my friend and I went to the restaurant to eat and I get to satisfy my craving for that chicken.

The first I tasted this, the chicken leg was so big and it had so much meat on it that it took me longer than usual to indulge myself into its greatness. However, this time, my 2nd time of tasting it, it was a huge disappointment. The chicken leg was so small that it had barely any meat on it. They were quite generous with the carrots, and the potatoes were soft this time, unlike the first time. I don’t like that kind of potatoes and was hoping I could change to fries but they won’t let us. I did ask for a bit extra sauce cuz the I love the sauce. My friend said it tasted milky-ish.

The meatballs is undoubtedly the best thing ever. Usually we’d request for mashed potatoes but we were told that they don’t have it anymore except on Sundays :( I prefer the presentation of it on a normal big plate (with Sweden flag they used to put couple of years ago) rather than the kiddy plastic plate for the 5 pieces even though the plate would be too big for just 5 pieces. The presentation is not that appealing anymore. Good thing the gravy tastes really nice.

One of the good thing about IKEA is that you can have unlimited refill for your drink. We always have a mixture of all soda drink, which was my idea at first (and everyone thought I was crazy!) to create some sort of tangy, sweet and sour-ish kinda of taste if you mix the drink right!

If it wasn’t for the disappointing chicken, it would’ve been a great meal. If you’re there, try their Daim cake or their other sweet dessert, and also their cinnamon bun.. they’re great to me. I’ve tasted their sandwich before but I thought it tasted bland. They also have like a chef special meal daily which sometime could be good and tasty. If you want something very light and on the go, check out IKEA’s cafe … they have really good curry puff for RM1, drink with unlimited refill, and hotdog with self service topping… so you can put as much sauce, mustard, onions and relish as you want!

I’m a HUGE fan of bubble tea or some of you might call it boba tea. I just love the chewy tapioca pearls in the drinks. Now lately I’ve been getting myself re-addicted to it. While I was working at Subang, one of my colleagues told me a nearby bubble tea supplier that also sells the drink instead of just supplying. So one day I went there and got instantly hooked.

This is my favorite type of bubble tea drink – mango flavored. That day when I bought that, for the first time ever, I saw multi-colored pearls. Usually they’re all in black. I love the drink there. I haven’t tried other flavors yet but this mango one is the best out of all that I’ve tasted so far. They’re very generous with the pearls, and the pearls are quite sweet, soft and chewy, which is how I love it. They’re cheap too – RM 3.50 per cup. In 1Utama I usually buy it at RM4.50 per cup.

The store is located just nearby Sunway Pyramid, at Dataran Mentari. If you drive past the shoplots using the LDP highway, you’ll see it. It’s on the same row with Dominos Pizza.

Since 2 weeks ago or so, almost everyone I know had been struck with some kind of sickness. I, to, was not excluded. I was coughing real bad, I couldn’t breathe properly and I had tonsilitis and thank god, I didn’t have fever and the torturous ‘chain of sickness’. So since I was coughing like I’m dying, I decided to go to the clinic. Well, the doc was barely talking, it was scary. After the visit, my mom and I went to a nearby ‘mamak’ (indian muslim) restaurant because she likes mamak restaurant and there were quite a number of people there.

Cheese Nan

This is what I ordered. Cheese nan. I’m not sure what kind of dipping they use as I’ve never tasted it before but they are absolutely and sinfully DELICIOUS. The nan tasted real soft, nice and yummy. It was served hot. Didn’t taste much of cheese though when you use the dipping but it’s still good. The dippings are good!

Teh Tarik

‘Teh Tarik’ (literally ‘pulled tea’) is my fave drink when I go to mamak stall. If you don’t know what it is, it’s simply just tea mixed with condensed milk then they’d do some sort of special pulling action and the as result you get frothy topping… something like cappucino. I loved it. Creamy, thick and frothy. Oh and sweet.

Thosai

This is mom’s. She loves ‘tosai’.. I’m not sure what it’s called in english. She get 3 kind of different dipping including curry. I’ve never liked tosai but their tosai is not bad.. it’s not really er.. sour-ish as usual so I liked it too.

I forgot the restaurant’s name. They sell lots of different dishes that sounds yummy. If you want to go, when you go to Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, there’s a clinic there called Family Clinic TTDI… and along the row you can see banks, pizza hut at the corner and behind it is the TTDI wet market. It didn’t cost  much either. It was just around RM5-ish (USD $1.50-ish)
