Went to catch up with my friend at Double Woodhouse Kopitiam last week. Last time it was Wishing Well, then became Bella(never go there), now it’s Double Woodhouse Kopitiam.

It changes quite a fair bit. The used to be fountain area now become a dining place. There’s a lounge too at the back.

Left: Kopi O, don’t remember the price.

Middle: Woody Milky (RM5), very unique taste, I have no idea what they mixed with the milk, cheese powder? It took a while for me to get used to it.

Right: French fries, don’t remember the price too. There are 2 sizes to choose. The fries wasn’t nice, as if took out from the freezer and deep fried without defrosting.

The service is pretty good. I would recommend to go there to have a drink or two with your friend without blowing the budget in an air-conditioned place. They have huge range of drinks and the price are pretty reasonable. I’m not so sure about the food even though I heard quite a fair bit of complaints.

Will I go again? For a drink, yes. Lots of fancy drinks there and they are quite big in size.

For the food, might try it out if have the chance, this Friday maybe? They serve local and western food.

The place is a bit crowded(with furniture) I would say, depending on where you are sitting. It was packed later that night. Seems like the business isn’t so bad.

Mom bought Milo CrispyEnergy! Wafer the other day. One pack consists of 24 bars. Was expecting wider bar but turned out to be so slim ;p Anyway, I quite like chocolate product from Milo. The chocolate tastes different from the usual chocolate because of the Milo but I don’t quite like to drink Milo unless the imported one.

Open it up, ahem… Are you as dirty minded as me? If you don’t know what I mean, then ignore what I asked *LOL*

Ok… Get back to the main point, I LOVE it! I don’t know how to describe, some sort of kit-kat feel but it tasted different from kit-kat for sure. All I can say is that, it’s addictive!

The pack costs RM9+, hmm… Expensive or not? Hmm… What’s your say? I’m not sure whether this is consider expensive or not. Each bar is 15gm, there are 24 bars, one bar is almost 40 cents.

Anyway, I love it! Great for snacking. I didn’t expect my dad likes it too, his taste buds are so hard to please yet this is acceptable to him.

I’m sure many locals know what this is. In fact, I’m not sure the real name of the dish, we at home usually called it hay pia (in Hokkien), “Hay” means prawn and “Pia” means cake. It’s deep fried flour cake with couple of prawns on it.

However, this whole dish is not only consist of hay pia. There are other things like hot dog, sweet potato, yam, bishop nose, fish plate, fish ball, and many more, all those deep fried food. When we say want to eat hay pia, it won’t be just hay pia but those other stuff that I mentioned will be part of the package.

The popular one was from Rex, we used to buy it from there but now… I don’t know where they move to. We usually buy ours now from Peach Garden Cafe at Pending Height.

I think the tastiness of this dish is the condiment, chili sauce and grounded peanut. These two must be good else it will not taste good as you know those deep fried stuff taste the same everywhere. It’s just a matter of crispy or not.

I won’t say the one at the usual place we buy is good but it is enough to satisfy our craving for it.

175° Cafe located at the ex-Tao. Opened not quite long ago and decided to go there for our small gathering.

You can get free fish spa there and free WiFi. However, it is best to make reservation in case you want to try out the fish spa coz the place is limited.

Left: 3 big red lanterns at the staircase leading to the dining area. The staircase is scary (at least for me ;p) -.-” It’s so steep hahaha… There’s no proper handrail that I’m so afraid that I might lose my balance, I’m very bad in balancing ;p

Right: You can either hang out downstair or upstair but the place is limited upstair as in more suitable for large group. Smaller group can hang out near the fish spa.

Left: Section of the dining area. Some said it’s too plain, not enough decor, I think it’s just nice. Too many decors will make the place look narrow and messy. My friends quite like the tables.

Right: Hot caramel (RM7), nothing much for this, just caramel *LOL*

Left: Hot Latte (RM7)

Right: Long Black (RM6)

The feedback I got for the coffees were not bad.

Delicious Beef-Burger (RM8), had given my feedback to them. The patty was fine with me.

Left: Pan-seared Beef Steak (RM16), the good thing was that they didn’t pour the sauce on the meat which is good. The beef steak was requested to be cooked medium rare and they did. You can opt to have either mushroom sauce, black pepper sauce, or their home-made fragrant sauce.

Right: Chicken Chop (RM12), already gave them my feedback about it. It seemed not bad just the size a bit smaller than expected and they said that they will improve on it.

If you want to try it out or make reservation you can call 082-258593, they also have lunch set for those want to have lunch and the price is quite reasonable.

Last Friday, Lee’s bro treated us for dinner at Hoi Tin Lau and also to brief us on what to do the next day for his wedding.

Last time Hoi Tin Lau was located at Grand Continental Hotel but now it’s located at a new place at Jalan Mendu. You know… The Dua Puluh Sen and Guardian there, there’s reflexology center too. It’s at the block behind them. Hoi Tin Lau served Chinese cuisine and it’s not halal.

I have no idea of the food name(I’ll just make it up myself) and the prices though. Just show you the photos and all I can say is the food was YUMMY! SERIOUS! It’s really DELICIOUS! I’m out of word to describe. All of them! Ok… Except the peanuts, I don’t like to eat this kind of peanuts ;p It was fully packed that night.

Left: Our appetizer. Sweet & sour midin. First time having this kind of midin. Usually we have it stir fried with belacan or garlic. This is the sweet sour variation, served cold.

Rght: Seafood noodle, it’s green, it should be green if I’m not mistaken. Under the lighting and from the photo it seems green to me but was browned by the sauce. My first time having green noodle ;p

Left: Combination dish, there were 4 types of food there. For the first time, I ate abalone(that’s what Lee told me when I asked him, I’m not sure it’s abalone or not hahaha…). Yea… My first time.

Right: Deer meat cooked with some sauce, don’t know what sauce. Very tender meat. My first time eating deer meat.

Left: Fried kailan, great dish. It’s always one of my favourite. This is my 3rd time having this dish. The one here is different from those I tried before, it had hint of sweetness because pork floss(assuming only, it could be chicken floss) was added.

Right: Butter prawn was great! I prefer this than the one from Sarawak Club. It’s sweeter but the sweetness is different from the sugary sweet. As if marshmallow was used *LOL* Not sure ;p Just judging from the sticky texture. looked as if it’s melted marshmallow. This is one of the best wet style butter prawn for me.

Two thumbs up and two toes up from me!

Just word of warning, the place is extremely noisy. Oh well… It’s like this in many Chinese restaurant anyway. If you are having a stressful day, better don’t go there hahaha…
