Dear friends..... all the yummylicious foodtrail is now at my new blog, waisekmeow

THanks !!! C ya there !!

Silkroad @ Pavillion KL

This s one of the few international acclaimed restaurants featured in the exclusive Dining on ^th at Pavillion, and we do expect good food from this, but we were wrong. We planned to celebrate mothers day at Li Jin next door, but unfortunately a wedding banquet was going on so we settled for Silkroad which is just located nextdoor.

Firstly the interior was interesting..kudos to the ID !!

8 treasure tea , as normally served in Silkroad journey. Consist of tea, red dates, wolfberries, dried longan , almond , walnut and dried raising. Tasted sweet at first and the taste changes each time. RM5/cup. I'll stick back to normalpu-ergh tea..............

As per the captain's Mr SIVA, recommendation we went for their house specialities. BTW I've been wondering why A Sichuan reataurant captain isnt a Chinese ?????? Sorry I'm no trying to be a racist , but just wondering. He's a friednly chap though.

Sichuan Sour and spicy soup. Taste rather bland and isnt exciting enough. Dragon I's win hands down. A real let down at RM12/bowl.

Fried prawns with wasabi and sweet potato ( RM 43). BTW whats wasabi doing in Sichuan cooking ?? Anyway its nice as the prawns is fresh and succulent.

Deep fried chicken with dried red chillies. Typical sichuan dish. RM 27.

A letdown..Mapoh tofu. Maybe it isnt to my liking

Customary green. Stir fried french beans ( RM20 )

Their award winning dish from Singapore Silkroad. Deep fried cod with Sichuan sauce ( RM 48.80). This resembles more of sweet and sour sauce...nice though but nothing Sichuan in it.
The freshness of the fish saves the day.

There has been numerous writeups on how great this restaurant is , but IMHO its not worth another return visit due to its high price and so so only food. Maybe I'm not an expert in Sichuan cuisine to pass a comment but couldnt the whole family of us agree that it isnt worth another visit.

Wantan mee , Tengkat Tong Shin,KL

Getting to this wantan mee stall is like a cat and mouse game, . Sometimes they open and sometimes he choose to close, so better try your luck ! This uncle's wantan mee is reputated to be one of the best around in KL at night , and he wouldnt open till 10pm. Spotting him is easy, try to look for an old Volvo parked by the roadside opposite Alsson Genesis Hotel.

Do not expect a wonderful set-up , as its located by the five foot way and by the roadside opposite a construction site. Prepare to share tables with other similar hungry diners as tables and chairs are limited.


Yummylicious wantan mee . Topped with some minced pork and charsiew . The al-dante noodles are really delicious bath in the chef special sauce mix. Prepare to wait at least 30 minutes for your order !!!


Location : Directly opposite Allson Genesis Hotel in Tengkat Tong SHin. That the road behind Jalan Alor . Same road as Ngau Kee beef noodles, just further up about 200 metres on the left, by the corner.

Coliseum Cafe , the grand old dame of Kuala Lumpur

With 88 years of history in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman , the restaurant is already a grandpa in Malaysia's culinary scene. Its also reputated as the first western restaurant here in Malaysia. But the rowds that throngs the eatery , inclydes the young and contemporary , rich and famous , royalties and foreigners. Which includes Selangor royalty and Malaysia's promonent cartoonist , Datuk Lat, which cartoon often sets itself here in Coliseum.


Apart from regular dining tables, there is also a bar and a lounge at one end of the cafe. One wall of the lounge is heavily decorated with old newspaper clippings that go as far back as the 1920s. It also has framed caricatures of well-known regulars, courtesy of Lat.


The café’s exterior may be stained and cracked with age and the passing of time, but step into the place, and one will discover that this is part of the charm that makes this Grand Dame of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman a favourite, generation after generation.At first glance, the Coliseum Cafe appears to be just another traditional coffee shop. In fact, the cafe is heavily influenced by English culture, so much so that people have said that it’s like walking into a Somerset Maugham short story. Some might also imagine that it resembles a western bar from the front façade.


The place has been decent, dependable and unoretentious for the past 88 years. The sands of time have not soiled its nostalgic charm. You can almost breath its colonial charm as you walk into the Coliseum Cafe and be greeted by waiters as old as the place. You wont find any low cholestrol choices peppering its menu , as once you tasted the food , it can make one quickly forget about the calorie.

Still the old fashion bread being served here.

Sizzling sirloin with mushroom sauce.

Sizzling Steak Chateaubriand steak. The most expensive on the menu at RM60 ! But the tenderness is out of this world !!!!!!! But prefer the fillet steak for the flavour. The Chateaubriand steak is a cut from the head of tenderloin .

Inchi Kabin, fried nyonya chicken. The looks can be deceiving. Wait till you sink your mouth into this succelent and juicy pieces of dry on the outside, juicy inside chicken !!!

Crab au gratin , Their infamous stuffed crab !!

The sizzling process...........

First the plate is warm under hot fire.

Slab a piece of butter on top....ssshhhhhhhh......let it melt n place the steak on top.

Pour in the sauce of choice....enjoy the sound....
Voila !!! Done..set back relax n enjoy the signature sizzling steak here !!

Nostalgic shots which brought u back to the past...

Pork Mix Soup ( Chu Chap Tong )

You hardly find it this days . Its sinfully high in cholestrol and sodium for the health consious,but who cares ??? It was like striking lottery when I came across this stall selling Chue Chap Tong , which is a salted vegetable ( Kiam Chye ) based soup with pork and its spare-parts ( internal organs ) like intestines, tongue , lung , heart and stomach. Some even offered pigs blood as a standard offering.

Served with a bowl of rice , its a complete meal of its own . Perfect for a rainy day !!! This stall in Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam serves with cuts of white-tofu , tomatoes and of all..pork balls. Its kinda weird , but I'll prefer pigs blood in it for the extra oommph . Just with a tinge of saltiness from the kiam chye, this soup is addictive !! For RM5/ per serving what can you ask for more ???

LOcation : Restoran Poh Yap, Kota Kemuning. Its opposite McDonalds and just behing EON BANK.

Location : From Kesas highway towards Pulau Indah direction. Take the first turning after Proton's factory. The exit is clearly marked Kota Kemuning. At the round about, take 3 oclock turn , and you would see McDonalds in the right. Turn in at the junction , the restaurant is on the left, located behind EON BANK.

CWZJ Cuisine (Tea King Restaurant,) Kuchai Lama..again.......

Makes your choice . Types of pu-ergh tea written over the Chinese fan.

Vintage Pu-ergh tea from my collection

Since I brought my friend , who I should refer here as CC once to this CWZJ once last year...she kept mentioning to me that she would bring her mum one day as her mum is also a pu-ergh tea fan ! Since her sister is back from the UK for holiday ..... we took da chance to treat her mum and her younder sister to this mecca of tea.

Started of with ABC soup with lobster head. A common soup makes special with the addition of lobster head , whole chicken leg , dried octopus , dried scallops really send the taste buds into action, savouring the sweetness of this soup. At RM38 its enough to serve almost 8 bowls .

Stir fried pork neck meat with scallops and asparagus. Slightly spicy though.
My favourite tofu dish. Steam homemade tofu with minced meat, olives and dried shrimp.

Chu Yau Char rice. Best eaten hot. SInfully fattening , not for the faint hearted with clogged arteries though . Pieces of lard are fried and mixed into the claypot rice ! RM24.

Steam Soon Hock fish. A real dissapointment. Even its cut from a 6kg fish , this Indonesian reared Soon Hock, the flesh is soft and lack the springiness that normally associated with large size Soon Hocks. Still prefer those from the rivers of Pahang.

Steamed tapioca in syrup to counter the Hypoglycemia effect of the sugar lowering effect of the raw pu-ergh tea.

CWZJ revisited.on Dads birthday !

This unfound gem in Kuchai Lama is one of the very few restaurants where specializes in chinese tea pu-ergh tea . Been visiting this place regularly and meeting up with the owner Joseph , and do our tea-talk...and testing various kinds of pu-ergh tea, from vintage to green ones.

Sign showing that fresh live seafood on offerings. I like the creative feel which makes you as if you are in the US of A.

Live Alaskan King Crabs .
Braised pork cheek in Thai sauce.

Double boil chicken soup with sharkfin, Hunan ham , scallops, mushrooms and sea whelks.

Steam pomfret in superior soya sauce.

Braised abalone with mushroom and sea cucumber. Yummy !!
