Hong Xin Dim Sum @ Bercham, Ipoh

Another road trip to Ipoh.

Not wanting to always had the dim sum in Ipoh town, we'd asked for recommendation from friend whom stayed in Ipoh, and he'd suggested this restaurant.

When we arrived, the restaurant was quite crowded, but we manage to spot an empty table immediately. Staff service was slow and it takes us awhile before we understand how the process goes. So some of the items were being served as other usual dim sum restaurant - staff pushing trolleys and asking for your interest. And some items, you'll need to bring your pricing card and approach the counter, to order and collect.

This was introduced by the staff. Fried dumpling. 

Siu Mai. Prawn was big and fresh.

Porridge. Still can't beat the one in Kepong.

Glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaf. This is so-so only.

Yam puff. This is good.

Har Mai. Same as the siu mai, the prawns were big and fresh.

The price overall was cheaper than those in Ipoh town. However, varieties of food was lesser and the foods coming out from kitchen was slow. Taste wise.. was acceptable but not so wow.

Little Korea @ Solaris

Another great deal from 11 Street.

Originally priced at RM72, 11 street offered discounted price at RM50 for this 2 pax set meal.

Then, by downloading their discount voucher, I'd only paid RM32.

Was quite skeptical at first, but we just proceed to redeem our meal.

2 pax set meal comes as below.

The refillable side dishes.

Condiments.

Then proceed with choose 2 BBQ meat.

We choose sliced pork belly.

And marinated pork.

They've mistakenly took my order and gave us gochujang marinated pork, which was too spcicy for me. We informed them that they had sent us the wrong meat and they change it for us without complaints! Didn't expect such services for meals using discounted voucher.

So they change back to the soy marinated pork.

Regret .. the gochujang marinated pork is more tasty. Haha.. but it is too spicy for me.

The set also come with one steamed eggs.

And to end the meal, we are served with a cup of refreshing drink and a slice of watermelon each.

Service of the staffs were good and this set meal can actually accommodate for 3 pax for small eater like us. Thus, this is a good deal.

Xenri @ Wisma Elken

Craving to have Japanese buffet, but looking for a lower price buffet as I know I can't eat much.

See the problem with me? Haha..

Suddenly my mind recalls Xenri, which I had tried few years back. The price is still affordable; RM58++ per pax. And it is only available on Sunday lunch.

The interior :)

Love the bright ambiance.

So this is what I ate. There are quite a number of items that I didn't tried eg Soba, Miso soup, Kimchi soup, various types of tempura and yakimono, sushi etc.

Perhaps, for some, the choices of foods was not much. However, by having a decent amount of Sashimi's is enough to cover the cost I paid, I guess.

And I end my lunch with green tea pudding (yummy!) and coconut pudding.

Fresco @ Jaya Grocer

Do you know certain Jaya Grocer have restaurant inside their grocer stores.

Named as Fresco, you can buy your ingredients from the grocer and request the restaurant to cook it for you.

Otherwise, you can order from their menu too.

We are usually here when I'm craving for grilled lamb. It is one of the best grilled lamb that I'd had.

Moroccan Lamb RM28.90

And hub usually will buy a piece of salmon from the grocer and request the restaurant to grilled it for him. They'll charge RM8 per meat/seafood cooked. And you can add on side dishes. For this case, hub add on aglio olio which cost another RM8. Total cost was RM36 (Salmon RM18, Cooking charges RM8 and side dish RM8).

Thai Syok Seafood Restaurant @ Setia Alam

One of my favorite Thai restaurant.

Pandan Chicken (5 pieces) RM16.89

Kai Lan with Garlic RM15

The pandan chicken taste very good. Well marinated and well grilled.

Red Tilapia steam with lemon RM23.96

For those who wants the taste of sour and spicy but not keen to order tom yam, you can try this.

It is less spicy compared to tom yam but the taste was superb. Makes you drinks all the broth.

3 Juicy Chicken Wings RM14.16

3 Minced Pork & Lemongrass Stick RM11.31

Both tasted so good! The meat are well marinated and grilled perfectly. It is juicy and not dry. Makes you wants more :)
