The typical sate was RM 0.60 per stick. The rare once cost about RM 1.80 per stick & Nasi Impit (side dish- steam rice+cucumber) will cost about RM 1.20 per plate. It is not complete to eat Sate without its dipping. The dipping was made of peanut & you need to mix it together with blending special source (quite hot for kids).

Food in Kedah: Jetty One, Kuala Kedah

Situated nearly at the end of Kuala Kedah road, is one of the must visit place whenever I get back to Kedah. The Jetty One Restaurant situated at the edge of the Sungai Kedah river. Its among the best Chinese Seafood in town which already been in operation for the last 15 years.

Among the best dishes are “Ikan Bawal Putih Masak Asam Pedas”, “Udang Lipan Masak Cili Kering” & "Sotong Goreng Tepung". The rest of the dish is also recommended but those I mentioned above is a must ordered dishes whenever my family have dinner at the restaurant.

From Kuala Kedah to Jetty One will only take about 5 minutes drive.

The owner is very friendly & already regards us as regular customer. Price wise? I must say it’s quite expensive but I think it’s due to all the dish is freshly made from newly caught fish.

Food in Pahang : Fraser's Hill Pit Stop (Jalan Gap)

Need to remind those who never been to Fraser's Hill there's actually a timing when your can go up or down the hill. It is due to the road is quite small & ideally for one way only. Therefore a system was created long back to cater the traffic up & down the hills.

Odd hours/time is for going up the hill & vince versa. And it only last for 40minutes before the guard close the gate. Even though i know the times sometimes the traffic timing from Kuala Lumpur not right which resulting myself stuck at Jalan Gap.

But not to worry, if you unfortunately stuck at the GAP please relax at the small shop near the guardhouse. For muslims there's also a Surau nearby. Well, its enough to fill in empty stomach & also kill the time. Take the time to spend time with your love ones & also the kids. A burger with combination of hot teh tarik will do the trick since its already quite cold at the Jalan Gap. Excellent meal to kill the time.

Food in Perak: Tapah Resthouse - 1981 Restaurant

We often stopped at this resthouse, on the way back to KL from Alor Star (exit tapah using PLUS Highway). It brings back lots of nice memories to my husband, as this is the place my father in law used to bring the family to whenever they're around closeby area. The 1981 Restaurant provide a pleasant environment and nice ambient, so it's comforting after a tired journey. The food served is up to my expectation and price is affordable.

My husband ordered 'Nasi Goreng USA' or USA fried rice with fresh orange juice. The fried rice came with fried chicken, egg, fresh tomato and cucumber.

As for me, I ordered Chicken Chop and Teh Tarik. I know it's a strange combo, but hey, Im a Malaysian.. Teh Tarik is a MUST.

The Chicken Chop came with Fries, Coleslaw and some fresh salad.
The Teh Tarik is a bit strong and sweet, so I added warm water to my drink and it turned out great.

My kids loved the Chicken Fingers. As soon as they arrived, they ate them like they never had one before. As for Ammar, he did finish the mushroom soup, so it must taste nice as well.

Total spent: Fried rice, Chicken chop, 2 basket of chicken fingers, mushroom soup, 2 fresh orange juices and teh tarik --> less than RM 40

How to go ? The resthouse situated on a small hill.

We always think that the journey to find good food always far & far away from where we live. But sometimes we're not aware that there are a lot of wonderful food nearby & sometimes it is just a few minutes drive from our home.

I always endure or love western food.To be is more specific for 'lambchop'. I must say that I'm a 'lambchop' lover. Whenever i heard or being recommend a great place to try lambchop I'll always on to it.

In Subang near the junction of Monteraz Golf Club there's actually a small shop lot of marvelous western food place called BIG PLATE. Its always among my favourite place to have my lambchop whenever i want to. The name of the Restaurant actually fits its dish. A big plate served with minimum of 3-4 pieces of lamb cutlet. With black paper souce & vege side dish. I always will come back home with a very full stomach.

Don't also forget to try the mushroom soup served in a bread (i dint know how to tell actually). The soup is a must try dish. My wife ordered Grilled Salmon which has a good presentation. But overall the taste is not as good as it looks. I ordered kiddies dish which was chicken cocktail with fries.

Location & Name : Big Plate near the junction of Golf Club Monteraz Subang

Price : A dish ranges from RM 15~18 (total for two person + 2 kids will be more than RM50 less than RM70).

Food In Labuan : Labuan Evening Snack ~ Chicken Wing

Labuan is a small island but full of surprises. The most difficult part was to have good lunch during the day. But in the evening or at night there’s a lot of place to visit. Last time I’ve talk about Surrender Point chicken wing. But actually there’s another place closer to the town at Jalan Rancha-rancha in Kg Sg Keling.

This place was introduced by one of the contractor in Labuan. Not bad & I can it is at par with the chicken wing that I’ve been to in Surrender Point. The chicken was sweet & tender. I think they marinate It with honey. Nicely done.

Location: Can see from the roadside.
Price: RM2.00 per piece.

Nice Thing : Fast service.
Setback: Only tin can drink available.

p/s: Always look forward to go to Labuan due to this..

Food In Alor Star: Pekan Rabu

Pekan Rabu is a MUST go venue for my family and I, particularly because of the Bihun Sup Utara served at one of the restaurant, ‘Restoran Bamboo’. Well, even though my husband claimed that I’m the only one in the family whose crazy over the bihun sup, the real fact is both of my sons like it too (yeah, they do!). I really like the bihun sup because it has everything that I want in a soup. It has generous amount of beef, delicious soup, sambal to make it a bit more spicy (which I like), fries shallots, Chinese celery and … caipo (I think people call it lobak asin). It makes the soup tastes PERFECT.

Nowadays, I like to incorporate the ‘caipo’ in my soup, but the ‘caipo’ that I use is a bit different. I found out that there’s two type of ‘caipo’. I like the sweet ‘caipo’. It’s a bit more expensive, but it taste nice. Here is one super easiest dish I like to prepare using the sweet ‘caipo’.

Sweet ‘caipo’ cut into small sizes

Fried ikan bilis (about the same amount as the ‘caipo’)

Onion, sliced

Red & Green fresh chillies, sliced

*Heat the oil in the wok, add the onion. Put in’ caipo ‘and cook for about 3-4 min. Add in the rest of the ingredients and served. Do not add salt or sugar.

There’s another special kuih served here, it’s very popular in Kedah, The Pulut Sambal. My husband really like it. It’s made of glutinous rice (cooked with coconut milk) with the ‘serunding ikan’ and wrapped with banana leaf. My sons love it as well. As for me, well… I like everything that can be eaten…

Direction ? Opposite CIMB Bank big building. Car park there as well.

Food In Kedah : Breakfast in Alor Setar 'Roti Canai'

It might not be fair to tell you this restaurant is have the best ‘roti canai’ in town, but I must admit it since I was young it is the best. The shop is situated in Jalan Sultanah or as local folks known as Jalan Day. The shop existed ages ago since I was young & still among the best restaurant in town famous for its ‘roti canai’ & ‘mee abu’.

Even my wife always looking forward to the simple round ‘roti canai’ every time we get back to Alor Setar. Sometimes I need to go as early as 8.00 am just to order take away breakfast nearly around 10-20 pieces of it. And normally it took nearly 30-45minutes just to get what the order & it was worst during weekend or school holidays.

The ‘roti’ was quite tender in the middle & crispy at the outer side of it. And it taste even better with a combination of curry + ‘kicap’ dipping. If you can see in the picture there’s small presence of black color dipping in the middle of the curry. That’s what makes it taste so tremendously marvelous.

I must say, I just can resist the ‘roti’ & normally I’ll just fill my time ordering the take away meal with a treat for myself of having one in the restaurant complete with a glass of ‘teh tarik’. Well, one thing for sure if you dine in the restaurant the waiting time to get the set will only take less than 5minutes.

Name Restaurant: Restoran Mee Abu

Location: Jalan Sultanah, Alor Setar. (Opposite RM4.00 car wash)

Setback: Waiting time for takeaway.

Where is it? Facing the Jalan Sultanah Road right side the Sultanah Bahiyah School.
