Tom Yam @ Kedai Kopi Seng Hing - Sinsuran


The Tom Yam at Seng Hing never fails to impress me. Beautiful sweet, plump prawns always feature in this magnificent dish along with a fragrant, spicy soup with the wonderful taste of lemon grass bursting through. Truly a taste sensation!



A refreshing Kitchai Ping and Mineral Water.


Kedai Kopi Seng Hing is located on the corner of Sinsuran 2.




The Bill : 2x Tom Yam, 1x Kitchai Ping, 1x Water = 20 MYR

Quite possibly the best Tom Yam in KK!

Nasi Ayam @ Wiya Nasi Ayam Dan Kedai Kopi - Downtown


This place needs no introduction to the fine people of KK. Wiya Nasi Ayam Dan Kedai Kopi is a famous Chicken Rice place in the heart of the downtown area, and rightly so. The chicken is smooth and velvety seasoned with soy and served with slices of cucumber. The rice is just excellent and served in a pyramid shape which makes the dish more pleasing to look at, and of course you get a bowl of tasty broth. I also really like the chilli sauce they serve here too!


As I've said Wiya Nasi Ayam is located downtown on the front side of the Segama shop lots. 'Wiya's' also serve Dim Sum until 10.30 in the morning, though I've yet to try it!



The Bill = 1x Nasi Ayam, 1x Chinese Teh Ping = 6.50 MYR

Joining the crowds here at lunch is a decision well made!

Banana Leaf @ CS Curry House (Banana Leaf Restoran) - Tanjung Aru


We fancied something spicy and filling today so headed to CS Curry House for one of their yummy Banana Leaf Meals. I opted for the Chicken Biryani Set, presented in a clay pot on top of said banana leaf. Chutney came as a side, as well as a choice of curry gravies that was kindly left on our table to help ourselves.



The Nibbler didn't fancy Biryani today so opted for plain rice with Chicken Curry instead. Once the rice was placed on the Banana Leaf then came the side dishes of vegetables, the Okra or Ladies Fingers deserves special mention as this was superb. Small pieces of Poppadoms were served, as well as a very watery dahl type drink or soup which I think is called Rasam.


Dahl, Fish and Chicken Curry gravy. The Dahl was exceptional in my opinion and The Nibbler loved the Fish Curry gravy!


Fragrant Nasi Biryani.


CS Curry House is located on the front side of Tanjung Aru Plaza, which is on the road leading towards First Beach.



The Bill : 1x Chicken Biryani Set, 1x Chicken Curry Set, 1x Sweet Lassi = 28.80 MYR

Brilliant Banana Leaf by the beach....well almost, a few minutes down the road!

Pizza & Pasta @ Little Italy - Downtown




Judging by the evening crowds (and I mean every evening) Little Italy must be everyone's favourite Italian restaurant here in KK. It's definitely my first choice for Pizza. 
Today we had an early evening craving for Italian food, so why not take advantage and beat the evening crowds!
I thought I'd try a new topping today and picked Pollo E Funghi which is marinated chicken with mushrooms. The chicken was plentiful and had a smokey, bbq taste along with fresh mushrooms and their wonderful tomato sauce, topped with chewy mozzarella cheese. The base is very important to me when it comes to pizza and Little Italy do a superb job with their thin and crispy base.




The Little Nibbler loves their Lasagne All Emiliana so this was todays selection. I was lucky enough to try this and it was delicious. Pasta sheets with a rich, minced beef sauce, lots of cheese and again that garlicky tomato sauce. Yum-yum!


Another favourite pick is the homemade lemonade, truly a refreshing drink on a hot sunny day or a hot and humid night!


Little Italy is located downtown below Capital Hotel and directly across the road from Wisma Merdeka.


Tasty!


Refreshing!


The Bill : 1x Large Pizza, 1x Lasagne, 2x Large Lemonade = 83.15 MYR

If you love great Pizza, Pasta and a lively, buzzing atmosphere head down to Little Italy any night of the week!

Ais Cendol @ Ah Yap ABC - Taman Tun Fuad Stephens


Is there anything better on a hot sunny day than an Ais Cendol? Well an ice cold beer maybe! Haha 
I love this drinks and dessert stall at Taman Tun Fuad Stephens, everything I've sampled here is fantastic! I've tried a few of their ice blended drinks in the past but recently my pick has been Ais Cendol, a truly Malaysian marvel! Green worm-like jelly topped with shaved ice, then topped with dark, caramel, palm sugar syrup and then filled to the brim with coconut milk, wow!


Ah Yap ABC is located in the car park, alongside Gerai Mee Goreng Ah Ling.



The Bill : 1x Ais Cendol 2.50 MYR

Need cooling down on a hot day? If the answer's yes or you just fancy something cold and sweet, head down to Ah Yap ABC you'll be pleased you did!

Mee Goreng @ Gerai Mee Goreng Ah Ling - Taman Tun Fuad Stephens


Is this the best Mee Goreng in KK? Quite possibly would be my answer! This was my first time eating at this hawker stall at Taman Tun Fuad Stephens, it wont be my last! Many times I've witnessed the lady at her cooking station with smoke billowing from her wok, you just know her food is going to have that smoky, savoury taste that awesome stir fried food should have.
With a choice of noodles I opted for yellow mee, these were stir fried with mixed pork, chinese chives, egg and beansprouts. Truly a delicious dish prepared in seconds!


You can see Ah Yap ABC in the background.


Gerai Mee Goreng Ah Ling is located in the car park at Taman Tun Fuad Stephens, along with other hawker stalls. Opens from around lunchtime.


A master at work!




The Bill : 1x Mee Goreng 5 MYR

Fantastic tasting noodles, join the crowds and see the smoke!

Nasi Campur @ Ang's - Downtown



Ang's is one of many great Chinese restaurants here in KK, most evenings the place is packed inside and outside, with people waiting to get in. Not only that it's packed at lunchtime too, with people eating in and ordering tapau.
So today I joined the luchtime crowds for the first time and jostled for my position at the counter! I ordered chicken wings, aubergine and omelette and wow was it tasty! Chicken wings came sweet and sticky, the aubergine was stir-fried in sweet soy sauce and the omelette had a smoky, savoury taste with green beans and onion. Simple and delicious.
  

Ang's is open lunchtime and evenings. Just look for the crowds located Downtown opposite Wisma Merdeka.



The Bill : 1x Nasi Campur, 1x Chinese Teh Ping = 6 MYR

Great food at great prices = Lunchtime @ Ang's

Kuching Laksa @ Ron's Kopitiam - Foh Sang


I love Laksa anytime of the day! But I've noticed it's hard to find in the evening, maybe I'm not looking in the right places??? So when I drove past Ron's Kopitiam recently and saw the sign for Kuching Laksa served from 3 - 11pm I couldn't have been more happier!
Both me and the Little Nibbler agreed this was a great tasting Laksa with generous ingredients served in a wonderfully spicy broth.



Chinese Teh Ping and Kitchai Ping.


Not having been in Ron's for a while there seems to be some new vendors operating from inside the coffee shop, not only the guys selling Kuching Laksa but also on offer was Fried Porridge which we were assured was a new taste for KK, maybe next time!



The Bill : 2x Laksa, 1x Kitchai Ping, 1x Chinese Teh Ping = 13.50 MYR 


Looking for your Laksa fix in the evening, look no further, it's here at Ron's in Foh Sang!
