Let's Eat Food Court @ Publika

Most of the food courts we have been have a wide variety of food, from Malaysian cuisine to International cuisine. But the food there are common, we can see there everywhere. There is this special food court I've been to, it is definately one of a kind, but it is more like Chinese cuisine. It is called Let's Eat Food Court, located in a shopping center in Sri Hartamas. But note that this court court in non-halal.



My dad decided to order a few dishes and shared with us so that we could taste a bit of everything. But everyone had a type of noodle called pan mee as our main course, which is what I recommended the most to try it out.
This pan mee we had was so delicious. The texture of the noodle, the side dishes, we really had a good time eating it, especially my brother.


The Pan Mees we ordered.

These are pan mee with chili flakes added it and later stirred. It seemed like nothing big to me, but when I ate it, it was so spicy and yet it tasted so good! I did not dare to put much as i heard it from my brother it would be very spicy. The chilli flakes definitely spiced up the pan mee.

A close shot of the pan mee and chili flakes.

This is another food my dad ordered, it is called yam rice, something we do not always get to taste. This yam rice is different to those i have eaten, i can taste the aroma of yam in the rice, yet it is not heavy at all, to compare with those i have normally eaten which are heavy and with a lot of sauce. This is definitely a must try for people who go for healthy light tasted food. The side dish is pork. I personally do not take much pork but i have tasted the sauce, it was pretty good. The sauce was well made. The side sides are braised pork with egg but some fried rolls with pork as fillings and soup.

The pork corner.

This is another type of Chinese noodle, my youngest brother had it all as it is his favorite. It is called Wat Tan Hor. The noodle was kuey teow which is soft and flat, the sauce was sticky and we can clearly see beatened eggs in it, with vegetables, prawns, fishballs as the sides.  People who does not like sticky food better do not try it.

Wat Tan Hor

Another type of Chinese noodle, called "Fish Head Noodle". The type of noodle used is called Mee Hoon, it is very thin and the texture is different compared to pan mee and kuey teow. A well cooked fish head noodle supposed to have the right level of sourness and right amount of chinese liquor. But this one we had was just okay. To me the taste of chinese liquor was quite heavy, but it was not enough sour. It would be different to other though, some other people would prefer it light.

Fish Head Noodle

This is a Japanese Snack, called takoyaki. It is fried octopus balls with different spices and sauces, and there are different fillings can be chosen. They had cheese, unagi, octopus, baby octopus, chicken sausage, crabstick, squid and so on. The octopus balls are quite cute and look mouth-watering, young people would go for it. It tasted okay, but it was a little overpriced. Costs RM6.90 for four balls.





For others, the price are surprisingly affordable, or i would just say cheap. The price range from RM6.90 to RM8.80 for a fair portion. I expected the food in Publika to be pricey, even in the food court but it ended up another way round. But the things at the supermarket would make your jaw drop. Those are really expensive. This food court is a place worth trying out. The food is good, the environment is good, and they have free wifi! Well the whole Publika has 
wifi services. I would rate 7 out of 10.

Ipoh signnature restaurant, Thean Chun


  Ipoh is a beautiful city which is surrounded by mountains. It is well-known by the delicious and extraordinary food which are heritages by generation to generation. As a resident from Ipoh, I would like to recommend you some mouth-watering cuisines. One of the famous restaurants to have your breakfast is the Thean Chun restaurant which is located at the Ipoh Old Town.


  The environment of Thean Chun restaurant is crowded especially during the weekend. You can see foreigners come along and some customers with DSLR cameras busy grabbing pictures in this vintage charming restaurant.

  First of all, I ordered the classic food of Ipoh, ‘Kai Si Hor Fun’ (Ipoh Kuey Teow) which cost RM4. The kuey teow does incredibly produce a fantastic reaction with the shredded chickens and prawns. The smoothness of the kuey teow and a craving of fresh sweet soup are goodness that you cannot resist!


  After introducing the Ipoh classic food, here is the classic drink, Ipoh White Coffee. It is the famous signature in Ipoh. Not only the coffee is aromatic but the drink brings out a deep impression due to its very own recipe. You can taste the original Ipoh White Coffee by RM1.60.   


  Don’t you think that satay is food which is only available and suitable for dinner? It’s a big NO NO as eating satay of Thean Chun in the morning is a very wonderful thing. Chicken meat and pig intestine are MUST to visitors. By rm0.70 per stick, you can fulfill your desire of this satay match with the satay sauce.







  On top of that, the caramel custard is a dessert which you cannot miss. Mostly this sweet and smooth custard will be sold out during lunch hour. This very awesome dessert just costs RM2.30.


  Obviously, Ipoh food is very worthy for tourists who love to eat. They will never make you down. Come and admire this food paradise. You won’t regret to visit this fantasy.

JOJO LITTLE KITCHEN


      Pan Mee is a kind of Hokkien-style noodle. In this modern society, people starts to crave for new and delicious food through different media and messages. There are few famous pan mee restaurants available in Malaysia. One of them is the Jojo Little Kitchen Pan Mee, located in Damansara Utama, Petaling Jaya. This restaurant is also available in Subang Jaya. As how crowded we can see, people are coming one after another in the restaurant, especially during lunch time. Some may relevant to wait patiently just for the sake of temptation of Jojo Pan Mee. Looking at the menu with various types of pan mee, you will be awed by the eyes catching pan mee pictures.



MENU

      You are able to choose types of noodles among thick, thin or hand pinches. In this time, customers may probably struggle for choices as these handmade noodles will never fail to fulfill people’s appetence. We ordered a ‘Fried Pork Pan Mee’, a ‘Fish Head Pan Mee’ and a 'Loh Pan Mee'.

      The ‘Fried Pork Pan Mee’ is served with some fresh crunchy fried pork and some green onion which will enhance the taste of the dish. Pan Mee with thick noodles is very chewy and it attracts customers to keep craving for it. Besides that, the fried pork is definitely not a killer to girls who are involving in keeping their diet. 



FRIED PORK PAN MEE

    With the awesome mix and match of fish head soup and Jojo particular noodles, the Fish Head Pan Mee turns into a superb dish. You can taste the sweetness of the fish head soup and crave for the noodles at the same time. We recommend customers to taste it during rainy or cold days because you can absolutely feel the warmness of it.


FISH HEAD PAN MEE

    'Loh Pan Mee' is a type of mee where it's gravy is thick and brown in color. It is best to eat it with the black vineger. For those who like 'Loh Mee', you can actually try this cause the difference between 'Loh Pan Mee' and 'Loh Mee' is actually the noodles only. Instead of using the yellow noodles, they uses pan mee.

LOH PAN MEE

    From the services and the setting of the restaurant, you can see how thoughtful Jojo Little Kitchen Pan Mee are. There are few bottles of chili sauces which are different types of chili sauce on each table. They provide tissue papers by hanging on the walls and the tables too. As for the chili sauces, it is for the customer to add the hotness of the mee to their own preference and different chili brings out different kinds of spice and taste. 

       The price is quite reasonable and affordable for students and also working adults.Besides that, Jojo Little Kitchen also have a card where the customer can collect all 10 stamps to redeem any 1 free delicious noodle. We had totally enjoyed ourselves having the different types and taste of the Pan Mee. Hope you will take a try of it and fall in love with it.
