Old Siam Kopitiam @ 1Utama

It was 5 minutes to lunch. Lunch starts at 12 noon. Still pondering where to lunch in 1 Utama. That is when I saw this outlet in new wing of 1 Utama. I suddenly got interested in Thai food. And I was there browsing the menu. Okay lets give a go was playing in my mind. Oh.. this outlet is non halal.. which gave me another reason to try out the food at this outlet. 

Khao Kruk Kapi, the name of this main dish. Which is Thai belacan rice served with sweet pork and condiments. Chilly padi, slices of onions, long beans, egg, lime and the belacan rice. The belacan rice tatsed good. On first look, I thought it was a normal fried rice. So I wrong on first spoon of it. Then the condiments and sweet pork were mixed with the rice. This gave a hint of freshness to the rice with the raw condiments of onion and long beans. There is this small amount of spicy sauce. Not  sure what ingredients were used. Moreover it tasted familiar. One of the ingredient has to be the belacan.

 

Whenever I am in a Thai food outlet, I will look for Thai milk tea. And they do have it. The taste is different when compare to local milk tea.

There goes one of the walls in this restaurant.

The price was a little high for me. They do have lower price items. But this one is on the high side. Can't comment much on the price as it is located in 1 Utama.

Oh I would say this outlet is worth to try out. As it is different from most of the Thai restraurant that I had been to. Some of the items I have not seen it. Maybe part of it is a non halal restaurant.

Taiping Thiam Kee @ USJ Taipan

Been here multiple times. My visit to this place was done in the morning mostly. This one time is dinner. Some how the brain was switching signal to explore outside the usual order I had made.

I have seen coffee mixed with jelly or cincau in menus, yet I did not tasked myself to get one. This time saw it again in the menu. Yup.. gave an order to make one for me. 

Okay this one below is coffee and tea and milk and black jelly. The drink taste as usual strong coffee and a hint of tea. The jelly gave the coffee something to bite. And I like it. Going to do it again if the name of the drink appears in front of my eyes.

This is something new to me. I mean the name given for this dish. Teochew Fried Kue Teow. Not the usual local fried keowteow. The noodle is thicker. It tasted normal until chilly sauce is added. The chilly sauce is something special in this place. It has their distinct taste. And this chilly make my meal more appetizing. Been taking it everytime I visit the place together with dry noodle.

Here goes the chilly sauce in their container. It has a little sour taste in it. Which has given the chilly a different taste and when added to the food, I had turn the content of the bowl all to my tummy.

There are varieties of food to choose from. And not to forget the drinks. At times I had a difficulty to decide the drinks.

Adonit Jot Classic

Son got an iPad. He was playing with it. One of the thing he does was drawing. With his finger. There went the dad asking him if it will be better with a pen like tool. But he was not keen on the idea.

So one day we were at an Apple store. And I started showing him the item. He was like.. "okay".. then I went, "which color you like?" Next I knew we were trying it on the iPad.

The color is red. Not sure why he choose this color. Nicely packed.

Compared to a normal pen.

There it goes without the cap on it. All made of metal/alloy, except for one part of plastic. 

I have try it without the plastic part and it won't worked. Oh.. it did surprised me. It can be used on android. Be careful, not to drop it. The tip did bend when mine rolled off the table. Manage to get it back to where it suppose to be. And it does roll easily. What I did was put on the rubber band around it. Yup, it is ugly. 

Good thing about it, smooth writing and drawing. And it comes in few colors.
