See this tube of Twinkles? This is from Van Houten, it’s called Twinkles. It’s not new actually hahaha…

Just that I’m just wondering when you see this, does it make you think back to the time when you were still little boy or little girl? Back then we always like to asked our parents for this kind of chocolate or being fed by our parents, aunties, uncles, grandma, grandpa and so on with tubes of button chocolates like this. All we had that time were those cheapo brand ones… Not like now. We now have Smarties, Twinkles, even M&M’s, all these are branded ones and of course pricier than those cheapo brand ones. The chocolate tastes different too of course.

ARG! I feel so old now…

Went to 2nd Home Eatery few days back. Didn’t know where to go, so just simply find a place at Jalan Keretapi where Pearl Bridal Studio is located as there are some eateries that we’ve never been to.

At the end, we decided to go to 2nd Home Eatery. Sat down and found out that the food choices were a bit limited. If you want to eat some local food like kangkong and things like that, you could order them but not many choices. As for other food, you could order fried noodle, kueh tiaw or bee hoon.

Left: Curry Noodle(RM5.50), portion a bit small, with such price for a non-aircon place, I think it’s a bit pricey for me. For the taste, it’s OK for me but according to the person who had this, it’s not spicy enough, in fact it’s quite spicy for those that cannot tolerate spicy food.

Right: Mee Mamak(RM4.50), just OK, portion was OK for me. The spiciness was OK for me but again if you can’t stand spicy food, then don’t order.

The environment wasn’t bad, just the prices gave me a bit of shock. One more thing… I forgot to bring my camera again…

I kept forgetting to bring my camera these days. -.-” Luckily I have my camera phone with me but I still prefer a camera… Used to bring my camera everywhere but lately I kept forget about it. NO!!! Must bring, must bring, must bring…

First of all, the photos here are taken with my phone, I forgot to bring my camera with me 🙁 Why? It shouldn’t be this way, I guess it’s because lately there’s not much photo to take so I didn’t bother to bring my camera along.

Went to Causeway Bay, Crown Square for dinner last Saturday night. Let’s see what we ordered:

Left: Carrot juice(don’t remember the price), plum juice(RM3+ I think…), and strawberry ice blended(RM5.80).
Right: The Ring(RM5.50), shouldn’t have order this because it’s very salty and we ordered too much food hehehe… I had to finish this alone. Stuffed myself with it hahaha… It’s actually onion ring with a little bit of other veggies in there. Not recommended.

Left: I ordered Tom Yam Seafood Mee Hoon In Thai Style(RM8.90), portion was big, taste wise nothing to rave about.
Right: Fish & Chips(RM11.90), I didn’t try it so not sure about it but mom didn’t complain though.

Left: Chicken Chop Burger In Macau Style(RM6.20), dad said that it’s not bad.
Right: Cheese Baked Rice With Venison(RM10.50), it’s quite sweet. Having difficulty finishing it so my bro and I exchanged our food, I finished up this for him and he helped me finished up my mee hoon.

Overall total was RM59+ inclusive of GST. Was really stuffed!! 😛

Another ice cream from Paddle Pop. This time it’s called Paddle Pop Choco Berry Popper. The ice cream is a mixed of chocolate and strawberry ice confection and the top is coated with white coating with candy flake. The candy flake actually popped in my mouth! Obviously, duh~ Else it won’t be known as berry popper hahaha… Other than that, nothing to rave about.

Made a last minute decision to have dinner at Pondok Laguna, an Indonesian restaurant at Crown Square. Never been there so went there armed with our RM50 voucher that we got hahaha… Means we’re there to eat for FREE 😛 One meal for RM50 for 2 persons it’s a bit too much I guess *BLEK* Don’t care! We’re going to try as much food as we can at the end, we only spent RM48+, we thought it would be more than RM50. That’s because they only charged 5% GST. There… RM50 voucher gone… Hahaha…

It’s quite seclude, sandwiched between two shops at the ground floor. If you don’t pay attention to it, you won’t notice it. You’ll see it when you make your entrance at the other entrance at Mr. Ho’s.

The interior. You can opt to use one of the 3 private rooms but reservation is required. I quite like interior but a bit too dark for taking pictures.

Left: This snack, keropok, cost RM3, we didn’t manage to finish it, was so stuffed. It tasted quite nice. It’s served to you once you’ve done your order, it’s not free. Maybe if you dont want, you can ask them to take it away, then you won’t be charge, not sure about this 😛 Or RM3 is table charge no matter you want it or not.
Right: Carrot juice(RM4) and Avocado juice(RM6), these are real juice! They are thick and yummy.

Left: Standard cutlery, fork and spoon. They provided napkin instead of serviette.

Right: Sate Kambing(RM8.50), lamb satay the Indonesian style. You don’t get the usual peanut gravy. The gravy is spicy!!! If you cannot stand spicy food, I won’t recommend this to you. It’s quite tasty but my stomach cannot really stand the chili, after the first stick, I felt like my stomach started to cramp due to the spiciness. Only 8 sticks per plate.

Nasi Timbel(RM2 each), rice wrapped in banana leaf. I would recommend you to order this rice rather than the plain rice which is also RM2 because it’s different and it’s so cute 😛 Kinda sticky and tough though but once you mixed it with a bit of the soup or the gravy, it’s OK.

Left: Gado Gado(RM6), mixed veggie with peanut sauce(think of our local satay gravy :P), the mixed veggies were blanched and served with peanut sauce. I always heard this in TV but never know how it looked and tasted like hahaha… Now I know.

Right: Soto Bandung(RM7), sliced beef with mixed vegetable and tang hoon soup. Nothing much to rave about this.

Left: Rendang Daging(RM8), beef rendang. Portion very small, 6 cubes only. It’s considered spicy for those that cannot tolerate spicy food.

Right: The menu.

All these food can actually feed about 3-4 persons hahaha… We were so stuffed and left some Gado Gado, a stick of lamb satay and the keropok behind. I should have dabao the keropok! I’m not sure how good is their business, it’s was so empty when we were there -.-” Are we seeing another food establishment that going to close door soon?

Frankly, the food are quite reasonably priced and the environment is very nice too. A great place to go with friends and family. Splitting cost is the best way to save 🙂
