Top 5 Foods I Love in Seria (or KB)

Admit it, everyone is neglecting their blogs recently. Procrastinators~

I had attended quite a number of workshops, meetings and inductions lately. And thus, there's really nothing interesting for me to blog about. (Unless you want to hear what boring things I'm forced to listen and pretend to pay attention to it)

And here, I'm supposed to blog about this weeks ago. I bet those who were tagged by Kenny had already done it.

The rules:

1. List out your top 5 favorite places to eat at your location.

2. Put down your link below together below the name/nick of the person who tag you and link directly to your post. Please include the state or country you're from.

1. Simple American (United State of America)
2. Iwan Sanchez (Singapore)
3. Nonnie King (Brunei)
4. Pinksterz (Egypt)
5. A^Ben (Sarawak, Malaysia)

3. Tag 5 other people (preferable from other countries/states)

(WHICH I'M NOT GOING TO DO =P)

Here's my list.

Oh oh, before I start.. I'd to confess something. Erm.. How to say? I'm a Chinese, I eat po_k. And so to my Muslim readers, please bear with it..Or exit this window if it makes you uncomfortable yah.

Of course, I'm only listing the eating outlets I love in Seria/ KB..and not BSB. (Thank God, else it is going to take me longer). These are the places that I'd been eating there since I was 3. And I still love going there, despite of how people think of it.. (mostly unhygienic anyway)


#1 - Seria 麵檔 (Noodle Stalls)

Heh, I bet this is the other famous "product" Seria is famous for other than Oil & Gas. It's crazy how BSB-ians tapao them back and shouted how cheap and delicious it is.

Our Seria kolomee's popularity is almost equivalent to Sibu's kampua. Noodles with fish cake, cha-siew, minced meat sauce and the clear soup.

(A little side story. A friend complained to me that the soup is tasteless, and I explained to him that actually the soup is meant to pour into that bowl of noodles and not to be drink ala-carte. Well, different people has different ways of eating.)

p/s: Dear BSB-ians, I don't mind if we share good foods together. But please please please do not shout "WAH SAI! SO CHEAP!" in front of those hawkers. Else you're not going to enjoy the so-called cheap food anymore. Well, usually it's very easy to differentiate locals and those who came from other place.

But ever since they moved the stalls to a new building...hilang the feel already.

The Old Mian-Tang

As you can see, long tables and benches. Lots of uncles, aunties and families go there every morning. Orders of drinks will be taken while walking along the corridor. Once you set your butt on the bench, you hot Teh-C will be served right after.

Now that's left...

Because of the reason that they combined both Chinese and Malay stalls together, hence the kolomee is made Halal. And maybe that's the other reason that I felt that it had lost it's original taste, apart from the new location that is.

#2 - Universal Cafe (環球)


Another old old kopitiam that we all love to hang out, from 5 years old to 80 years old. In the morning, this place is conquered by ah-pak who loves to order a cup of kopi, sit there and blow-cow (brag) for 2 hours (at least).

Saturday and Sunday afternoon, phew~ This place is full of youngster. Our favorite spot for Sunday afternoon low-tea.

(No money to enjoy high-tea, this version of low-tea also not bad)

This old kopitiam is run by Hainamese. They're closed on Monday, and they're very strict on their operating hours. Once the time nearly reach 4.45pm, you can see them pulling the iron gates already, hinting the customers that they should leave already. (吾好佐着個地球轉)



Told you it's old. The chairs, tables... even their fan, it's just classic. Sorry, no air con there. But you can see, still a lot of people goes there.


Here here, introducing you their specialty~

FRENCH TOAST!

This is no ordinary oily french toast. The fried egg wrapping the toast, and that yellowish thingie in between? It's CHEESE! Woohoo!!!

Dip it with tomato sauce and a pinch of sugar.... *HALLELUJAH*

Not oily somemore.

French toast (without cheese) - B$1.00

French toast (with cheese) - B$1.30

Universal cafe is cool. They do not served wok-stuff like fried or kolo noodles. They only served anything with bread. Roti kahwin, butter toast, egg sandwich (no ham). Basically a no meat kopitiam. The other specialty they have is they Jelly Ice cream.

Jelly in a glass with your choice of flavored ice cream. (We don't usually ordered that so I don't have that photo)

The usual stuffs I order

Serious, their Teh-C is good. They do not allow customers to tapao their teh-c, reason is it will change its taste. Got QC one leh. LOL.

I don't know, I just love that traditional feel of the place and the food. Something you can't find easily nowadays. Most shops are 'modernized' already.

#3 - Soi Heng (瑞興) & Jee Juan (藝園)

Paiseh ah, I don't have any photos for this kopitiam... (Yes, another kopitiam. I'm poor.. I can't afford high-tea wah. And who say cheap food doesn't taste good?)

I just show you their food.

Jee Juan's

Other than the usual kolomee, fried mee/ kueh tiao/ laoshu fen with ham and egg, they have FRIED INDOMEE with ham and egg too!

INDOMEE okay, the indomee that everyone loves.

They have their own baking oven at the back of their kitchen and so they sell freshly bake breads everyday. And also tarts and donuts. Once it come out, habis jual.

Edit

How could I missed out Soi Heng?!!! Outrageous!

Bobby read this post last night and said he personally think that Soi Heng deserved to be placed at #3 instead of Jee Juan, since Jee Juan's food is oily and salty to him.

*Smack head* Omigosh! Did I just left out Soi Heng? The roast chicken kolomee, laksa, Noh-Mai-Kai, Big Pau and Taufufah? How could I?!

I'll post pictures here whenever I get to take pictures of those. I promise.

/Edit

#4 - Tudong Salji Food Court

(I still like it to call it 4-breast or 4-mushroom anyway. That's what we Chinese like to call it :p)

Photo stolen from Zeti

You know Lee Loi Fatt kan? Before it even set foot in BSB, this is the place where they started their business. Of course that's also after they demolished the old riverside stalls lah.

God, I still prefer those rojak stalls beside the river side lah! Who's idea is it to move them away anyway?

Blah. Back to the topic.

Lee Loi Fatt serves rojak (some say Asian salad), sotong with cucur udang, keladi, tofu, kangkungcrushed ice drinks like cendol, red bean, jagung those.

Photo stolen from YeeMan, again.

Other than Lee Loi Fatt, there's also some other stalls available. Read *here* for more.

Lastly,

#5 - Excapade Sushi!


How can I miss this out leh?

I know there's a lot more other Japanese restaurant here, but without a doubt, when we start to discuss where to eat japanese food, the first to come into our mind is Excapade.

Great cheap food, nice environment, friendly staffs... What's more to ask?

Salmon is thick, ingredients are given fully. No 偷工減料 one. Where as in some Japanese restaurant in Malaysian, a plate of Shake cost RM9, somemore thin thin slices. Sibeh karit.



My must order food in Excapade:

Shake, Unagi sushi, spider roll, needle mushroom batayaki, the crab something something? Too many to list liao lah!

I bet you had came across it reading my blog because I went there quite often.

So that's it. My list.

If I were to list those in BSB... It can go forever I guess?

Oh, I missed out one important place in KB. The wet market. There's a food court on the first floor of the wet market that serves really good porridge!
