Road Trip + KL Chinatown+ Changman

So last Monday I met Cong Han for lunch after not meeting for such a ridiculously long time and then we had this crazy impromptu plan to head over to Malaysia for a short get-a-way and just two days later, we've got everything planned out and got ourselves to the causeway, crossing over to Malaysia. *woohoo long car rides**

So we drove in at around 10pm and it took us around 4-5 hours to drive to Awana Condominium although we did stop by KFC for a little supper. So the next day we woke up late and headed by to KLCC for some lunch. It's pretty expensive and not that amazing so I'm not going to talk much about it.

We're not that stuffed yet so we headed over to Chinatown to have some more food. Streetfoodstreetfoodeverywhere!

First up: Old Style Burger

We decided to try the Old Style Chicken Floss & Dried Meat Burger (Since it's the biggest one there hahaha)

Bah kwa + Chicken floss + Chilli sauce. I think it's pretty good but Cong Han think it's not that fantastic.

Next up, the famous Luo Han Guo Long Gan Rock Sugar drink.

Yum yum so good and refreshing!

Mua Chee next! The interesting thing is that there are different colors and flavors.

Pandan Mua Chee for me! I think it's yummy cause it's chewy and it doesn't stick to your teeth.

And for dinner we have claypot rice from Hong Kee Claypot Chicken Rice (鸿记驰名瓦煲鸡饭). Which is pretty yummy!

So while driving back to our apartment, that view.

Woke up the next day to Red Velvet Cake. Nom.

Then we drove up to Genting Highlands.

There isn't much to do and so we eventually went to chill (and use some wifi) at The Coffee Bean. My ever obsession with The Coffee Bean's Chicago Cheesecake & Hazelnut Latte.

The only thing I love about Genting is the weather and view. I'll never get enough.

Very quickly the trip comes to an end so just before we head back to Singapore, we stopped by Johor Bahru for some lunch and we headed to this Dim Sum place which Cong Han was raving about.

常满 Restaurant Changman
24G Jalan Bestari 5/2
Taman Nusa Bestari 81300 Skudai
Johor Bahru, Malaysia

Barbecue Pork Buns. It's so good! Perfectly flavored and the meat is chuncky which I love. OHH SOO GOOD.

Guo Tie (Dumplings) it's tasty and the filling is so goood!

Xiao Long Bao, The soup is so delicious and skin is thin, yummy!

Yam Pau. I love yam but this honestly is quite disappointing compared to the other dimsum. It's not bad, but not that fantastic.

My favorite Green Tea Liu Sa Pau. That flowy, salted filling. Just look at that!

Har Kao. Pretty decent I think.

This is the scallop roe thing which was fancy but I don't really love it so ya.

Siew Mai. Pretty nice ones with juicy prawn. (P/s. stupid Cong Han ate one before I even took a picture of it)

Then lunch round two! At Very OK Restaurant nearby.

Har Kao again. Not as good as the previous one.

Fried Dumpling. A little too oily for me but it's actually pretty good.

This the bomb! Bread + Prawn + Pork/Chicken Floss. I don't know how to describe this but it's basically a party in the mouth. MUST TRY WHEN YOU ARE THERE.

It was a great trip and over stuffing myself with food, I love long car rides (but I hate traffic jam) but unfortunately I stay in Singapore so it's kind of rare considering driving from one end to the other end only take an hour or so. Can't wait for another road trip soon!

Wednesday, July 2, 2014 @ 2:00 PM Teck Kee Chicken Rice Teck Kee Chicken Rice The Rail Mall 450 Upper Bukit Timah Road Singapore 678069 So some two weeks ago I was taking my TOEFL iBT in St. Francis Methodist School and my loving parents were there to drive me to and fro the test location. Since my test ended around lunch time, we decided to drop by The Rail Mall (which is just a short drive away) for some food. Mummy then decided to dine at the most crowded food place there (you know, the "when there is crowd, there is good food" mindset), which just so happen to be this chicken rice place. The Roast Chicken which is apparently a 3 person serving. I would say, they are not very generous with their servings. Sambal Kang Kong. Nothing special really. I was in the mood for some congee that day so here is my Shreded Chicken and Century Egg Porridge. Some sweet sauce pork rib recommended by the staff. I can't quite remember the actual name. It was pretty good except most of the ribs are pretty tough to chew on. I would say that this is a place to have a relatively decent meal with okay-okay food. Just that it's not a place that I would go out of the way to have a meal in or crave for. Besides, The Rail Mall is pretty inaccessible without a car (any where that is not directly walk-able from a train station is generally inaccessible to me). Not the best food around but it's not bad, really. Also, would like to thank my parents for the meal and chauffeuring me around that day. Labels: Asian, Chinese, Lunch, Singapore Tweet 0 Comments
