This is also from KL but it’s manufactured in Perak. I have no idea why it’s called chicken biscuit, it doesn’t look like chicken to me and it’s not made from any parts of chicken also. The ingredients used are wheat flour, fine sugar, vegetable oil, milk powder, sesame, soybean, mix spices, baking powder, winter melon, soy protein and calcium.

It’s very crispy indeed and the taste is sweet and salty with strong spice flavour. Suitable for vegetarians.

Judging from the shapes and size, it’s not machine made. Some of them are big; some are small; some are round; some are not. Maybe the ingredients are mixed with machine but they’re shaped manually. Then are baked in oven I guess… Hmm… Where’s the winter melon? 😛

Anyway, nothing much to rave about it. It’s great for afternoon snacks or just eating it for fun.

Hehehe… Craving for steamboat and I really went for a steamboat session last night. Wanted to go there on 1st day of Hari Raya but they were closed. So… Off we went to have steamboat session at Garden Steamboat last night. Heard many good reviews about it and we’re dying to try it out. It’s just next to Magenta.

Here you go… The place… Even the tablecloths are very tastefully lay out. If you have less than 4 persons, you can opt to sit at the wooden chair with square table. If more than 4, then it’s the plastic chairs with the big round table. The lighting is a bit too dim for my liking, quite hard to see what I’m eating hahaha… Mosquito coils were everywhere! Hahaha… What do you expect? It’s steamboat in a garden with lots of plants everywhere. There’s even a section with a lot of water and you can even see waterlilies in there.

Fried rice and there are 3 type of dipping sauce, chili sauce, belacan and chili+garlic+vinegar/soy sauce.
Just pick whatever you want to eat, they have vegetables section, meat & seafood section and cooked food section. The cooked food were quite tasty.

Left: Uncook fishballs, meatballs, prawns, sea cucumbers and more.
Right: They will automatically serve this plate of cooked prawns and crabs for you, free flow… It’s always served hot. I tell you… This is more worth it than eating that 2.6Kg BBQ prawn at Topspot. We ate more than 2.6Kg last night! Only RM22 per person, the prawns might not be big but it’s fresh and it’s not too small also, the crabs weren’t the normal crab we see in the market, it’s the type with white spots on its shell, quite big too. However, I don’t really like the curry powder they used, still not so bad, worth the money.

Left: Meats and butter for grilling on the hotplate. The meats were marinated and they were SALTY! The salt is free?!?!? Hahaha… There’re chicken meat, lamb, fish and more but no beef.
Right: The veggies and quail eggs.

Let’s get started! Not forgetting the sauces, the sauces are very thick, original, they don’t mix it with water like Hornbill *YUCK*. You are seeing chili sauce and belacan here.

The tinned drinks cost RM2.50 per tin, very expensive! We ordered 3 tins. The fruit juice such as orange juice can start from RM7, I saw people order it and it’s quite big glass. If you are thinking of having mineral water, the small bottle, it’s RM2.50!!! WOW! I asked for menu for the drinks but they don’t have it. I don’t think this is quite right.

By the way, if you just want the original steamboat, means with no hotplate, you can asked for it. They will be using charcoals instead of gas stove like what we are using. You can opt for tomyam or chicken soup. We picked chicken soup.

There’s actually 5% sales tax -.-” The total amount we spent for two last night was RM54.07. Well… Still cheaper thant hat stupid BBQ prawns at Topspot anyway!

Chocolate post again! Hehehe… When I got it from my aunt, I was thinking that the box is just a normal box and the chocolate is imported from Japan. Obviously, with the Japanese packaging*LOL*

Left: I saw the white round sticker on the box and didn’t bother to pay any attention to it and just chucked it into the fridge. FYI, chucking a chocolate into the fridge is the worst thing you can do to a chocolate(according to a chocolate expert that I know who’s doing chocolate business) but what to do… The temperature at home is too high, if I don’t put them in the fridge, I don’t think I can even get a proper chocolate and I’ll be getting softened chocolate and it’ll be everywhere on the wrapper.

Right: Then I was thinking of eating it yesterday, I took it out from the fridge and was greeted with surprise! The white dots changed colour!!! I checked the boxes, since it’s all Japanese words, I know how to read Chinese word so I can usually more or less make sense what the Japanese words tried to convey. It’s something like this chocolate is best eaten at the temperature of 22 degree Celcius. Which if it’s in optimum temperature, the sticker will change colour to Fuchsia.

Upclose here. When I took out from the fridge, it’s purple which means it’s too cold. Then when I expose them to room temperature, the colour lightened, lightened and continue to lighten to pale pink and eventually white. This means the temperature is above 22 degree Celcius. Interesting don’t you think? Hahaha…

I only opened the box of milk chocolate. The chocolate is quite heavy I mean a small piece like this and just hold it, you can feel the weight. Then the texture is quite heavy also and very creamy. My first time having such texture of chocolate.

If you ask me it’s good or not? It’s quite rich compare to the normal Cadbury milk chocolate. I do enjoy it. Will blog about the bitter chocolate when we finished the milk chocolate. I can only eat one piece at any one time. Quite sweet. Hahaha…

Enjoy the chocolate!

Food porn is back! 😛 Hahaha… Thanks to my aunt that just came back from KL hahahaha… I’m craving for steamboat… *drool* Must find a day to go to Garden Steamboat hehehe…

Ok.. Ok… Let’s go back to Tambun biscuit. From the name, I’m sure this biscuit originated from Tambun. It’s not my first time having it, used to have it few years back that were sent by dad’s business associates from West Malaysia as Mooncake Festival gifts.

I came across pandan one before but ewww… I hate the taste of pandan 😛 The one I’m showing you is original flavour. I quite like it actually.

Left: This is almost the actual size. Very cute 😛
Right: Inside the thin layer of crispy skin, you can see the filling. It’s powdery, sweet and salty but at any one time I can only consume one, the most is two but need a huge glass of water. The fillings is the secret to this biscuit. I think it consists of milk powder, butter, red onion, sugar, salt and other ingredients that I have no idea as the box is not with me anymore hahaha…

Do you like Tambun biscuit? For me, it’s nice to have it once in a while not everyday though.

Yucky or not? Hahaha.. It’s century egg, the egg that was preserved for 100 years with horse urine! *EVIL GRIN* It was used in Fear Factor summore. Oh my… I was laughing so hard when I saw this was used for Fear Factor hahaha… You could see the horrifying expressions on the contestants faces when they heard it. Same goes to durian.

Actually this egg is not preserved for 100 years, who will believe it 😛 It’s preserved with clay, ash, salt, lime, and rice straw for several weeks to several months or soaking the eggs in a brine of salt and lye for 10 days followed by several weeks of aging while wrapped in plastic. The horse urine is just a myth hahaha…

I like century egg, not too much though. Having it once in a while is fine, not everyday. Sometimes belachan beehon is serve with a small slice of century egg too. I like it with pickled ginger, yummy…
