Not sure where to have lunch today and ended up at Causeway Bay Hong Kong Restaurant at Crown Square. Many people already complained about it. I don’t know to complain or not. The pricing are definitely quite high but for the drinks’ prices are OK, I think… Definitely more worth it to have a drink there than at Mr. Ho’s.

Left: The entrance.
Right: The interior with very special lightings but hmm… I felt strange under this kind of lightings.

Left: The other side of the interior. Two huge pictures of Hong Kong skyline on the wall, very nice but very polluted place. I mean Hong Kong not the restaurant 😛
Right: (L)Tea In Hong Kong Style(RM2.80), it’s just milk tea! (R)Cold Jasmine Tea(RM2.80), huge jar and the straw was too short, I had to tilt the jar to finish it 😛

Left: Black Pepper Sizzling Noddle with Chicken Chop(RM6.90). You can opt for mushroom sauce too. Pretty big portion. Taste wise was OK.
Right: Mushroom Sauce Sizzling Noddle with Fish Chop(RM6.90). It tasted like tomato instead of mushroom but not tomato enough. Don’t know how to explain. Big portion and I almost couldn’t finish it. You can opt for black pepper.

Hmmm… *Shrug* Don’t seem to have much complain with me. However, I don’t have the urge to go back for second time. By the way, 5% GST would be charged.

Before we went to DiGi Fu-Yoh! Street Blast last Saturday, we had an early dinner at Dong Feng Po. It’s opened not long ago. Many people had went there before so we decided to try it out. It’s located behind EON Bank and DHL at Jalan Song Thian Cheok. By the way, Country Decastle already closed, no more in business, even signboard also gone.

Left: Dong Feng Po’s signboard.
Right: The interior. I think it’s very clean looking and with oriental touch.

Left: Some potted plants.
Right: Our drinks, Jasmine Milk Green Tea(RM2.50) and Passion Fruit Juice(RM2). The milk tea has nothing to be raved about and the passion fruit juice is just syrup.

By the way, I’m not so sure what are the exact name of the food, very long name -.-“

Left: Chopsticks & spoon and sweet & salted bean paste. Not bad. Very nice.
Right: Soup noodle in some kind of hot pot. You can choose to have tang-hoon instead of noodle. I opted for noodle. There’s one full egg in there and various “seafood” such as crabstick in there. No real seafood though. I got one meatball only in the soup 😛 and some veggies also. Becareful when you eat this, it’s very hot. The presentation reminded me of a type of Japanese noodle. This dish costs RM5.

Left: Spoon & folk and some sort of melon soup.
Right: I think this is called pork leg rice. The taste is OK but there were still a bit of pig hair still attached to the skin. This is also RM5

This place is not so bad. The price range is OK since it’s air-conditioned. Definitely will go there for second time if there is chance.

Familiar with this name? No? See the photo and I’m sure you will go OooOOooOoo… Hahaha… Well, only those growing up in the 80’s, 70’s, 60’s or earlier will be familiar with this. I’m not sure about those in the 90’s. Have any fond memory of it? Gossh… It reminds me that I’m no longer young anymore.

I don’t think you can see it here in the city anymore but you can definitely see them in small districts and towns. For those of you that have not much idea, do you know a drink called Sundrop? If you do, then this is the product that is produced by this company. It used to be a hit among us long time ago just like Coke or Pepsi. Then when more and more brands coming out, this is later forgotten. Due to that, the company produced a new drink called Sundrop.

I think this bottle must have gone tru’ all the thick of thin of your life and mine for quite a number of decades. The bottles were washed and reused. You need to return the bottle back to them and not throw them away. There were no plastic bottles last time and that time, everything was in glass bottle like this. During Chinese New Year, we used to have crates and crates of softdrinks in glass bottles, after finishing them, these bottles were sent back to where we bought it and they would return it to the factory to be washed and reused. I think the bottle you are seeing now it’s still the same old bottle that was used 20, 30 years ago. I don’t think they produce new bottles for it. Everything is exactly the same. See how things that were produced decades ago can last this long?

It still has the wordings stated “The Amoy Canning Corp. (M). BHD.” on one side. The company no longer use this name. Then another side is “Licensed By Green Spot Co. U.S.A”, does this company still exists in the US? Need to Google about it.

There is no Malay name for the drink. You can only see English, Chinese and Tamil. There were no such law about printing details of all those things you see in bottles nowadays.

Talking about this, remember Fanta? I always like Fanta green hehehe… Now if you ask me to drink these beverages, I won’t dare to drink much, maybe a sip or two but I didn’t drink the one in the photo. I wanted to drink but couldn’t get myself to drink it. I even don’t drink F&N Orange, Groovy Grape etc. Nice to see, very colourful but not nice to drink. The colours are freaking me out.

Do you feel old now? Hahaha… It does bring back a lot of memories. Very nostalgic.

Before I did some shopping and watch the roadshow last Friday, we had lunch at Hong Kong Noodle House again… Couldn’t decide where to eat and ended up there.

Left: Can you spot the “B”? The orange colour really complements the red colour of the interior. Now I know why they got a “B”. Guess what I saw? A baby cockroach behind my chair. Luckily I’m not afraid of cockroach so I just used the order slip to swept it down the floor.
Right: You get soups when you order rice dish.

Left: Lemon Fried Chicken Rice(RM4), too much lemon sauce! I ate till I almost threw up. Couldn’t stand it. The chicken were tasteless.
Right: Salted Fish Fried Rice(RM4), they were too stingy with their salted fish. It’s just like eating normal fried rice.

They do charge 5% government tax but there is no service tax. You are welcome to give them tips by putting the tips into the box that is provided.

WAH! Finally I had satisfied my craving last night! I know it’s crazy to eat this during the hot spell attack in Kuching lately but I’m glad that I made it on the Friday night which the whole day was wet and cool. Phew… If not, you go figure how are we going to survive? 😛 Too bad the rest couldn’t join us, it’s so hard to find such a nice day like yesterday to have it. We were so afraid that it’s not longer in operation anymore but lucky lucky… They are still in operation! YES!

Had it the first time in December last year. We spent RM56 for the 5 of us last night. This price exclude drinks. By the way, it’s not buffet style. You have to order your ingredients one by one.

Left: The base will cost you RM10. It’s divided into section, the non-spicy and spicy sections. You can choose the level of spiciness. We opt for the lowest level. Hehehe… At first we were thinking to order medium spicy but at the end decided to get the lowest one because we’re not sure about the rest whether they want it very spicy or less spicy since we reached there first. So if later they want it more spicy, we can just ask them to add more chillies! 😛 Then Ann came and I think she accidentally got choked by the spicy base hehehe… Poor girl yet her drink hadn’t arrived. So we settled with this level of spiciness.

Right: The sauce for you to dip your food. I’m not sure what it’s made of but can taste very strong garlic smell and a bit like satay sauce but it’s not stay sauce.

Here’s the tip to eat this:

– DO NOT dump everything in especially the meats into the steamboat, it’s not meant for you to do that, it’s for you to “shabu-shabu”, that’s why the meat are all thinly sliced. If you dump all your meats in, they are going to be very salty and not nice anymore.
– You can dump your fishballs and veggies(those thick type like cabbage) in though.
– As for tofu, don’t let it stay in there too long.

Left: Chicken meat.
Right: Beef. Wow! It tasted so good! This is the best meat to have with this “ma la” steamboat.

Left: Pork.
Right: Singapore fishballs. Huge! I had one only hehe… Ann got the last one and I just realised they were gone so she gave me hers since I didn’t eat any.

Left: Needle mushroom.
Right: Tofu.

Left: I don’t know what this is called. Chinese cabbage? The one u usually see in the market when almost Chinese New Year.
Middle: Cabbage.
Right: A type of fungus. Not sure what its name.

This place is really recommended for those that like spicy food. The location is hmmm… At Tabuan Laru, same row as AmBank. If you are facing AmBank, the direction is to your right. Great weather, great dinner!
