Hadramawt Kitchen - Great value middle eastern cuisine @ Glenmarie, Shah Alam

Hadramawt Kitchen located nearby the many automotive show room area in Glenmarie Shah Alam. The food is great value and taste good without burning a hole in your pocket. This is a comfortable place to dine in with families. You can choose whether to sit on normal table and chairs or Arabic seating style on low table. Order the roti Arab, appetizers and lamb rice which all good. Looks like I have found a perfect place for middle eastern food which is reasonably priced. Good food, good portion, friendly and helpful staff.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. My favourite were their Mullawah bread dipped with lamb sauce with tomato salsa sauce. Taste so good. Without knowing that Mullawah bread is quite huge, we ordered their lamb rice as well. The stewed lamb taste good and the meat was tender and delicious. The stewed version is better than their grilled lamb. Appetizer with stuffed grape leaves and hummus taste fantastic as well).
Price:7/10(Moderate. Huge piece of mullawah bread at MYR4.00, appetizer of hummus, dolma (stuffed grape leaves) and fata cheese salad at MYR18.00, lamb rice at MYR28.00, araise fruit salad at MYR10.00).

Boat Noodles - Trendy but so-so noodles @ Klang Parade

Boat Noodles finally arrived in Klang with its outlet in Klang Parade. I have heard and read about it about their crazy queues on other outlets. However, the outlet in Klang Parade no queue at all and during lunch or dinner time, the restaurant is just full and have enough seat for everyone. Boat Noodles is currently trending probably due to their unique small serving size of noodles. The noodles dish originates from Thailand. The service were small and looks interesting. Their price of MYR1.90 per bowl serving does attract the crowd who wanted to know how the noodles taste like.

Taste:5/10(So-so. The noodles soaked in sourish broth with a small portion of beef. The broth does have beef flavour and slight spicy as well. The taste somehow does not blend well with the sourish taste of the broth with the rice noodles and the noodles is salty too).
Price:6/10(Moderate. Pricing wise is MYR1.90 per bowl. However the portion is quite small and you may need to order at least 5 to 8 bowls in order to satisfy your hunger. Eventually it may cost at least MYR15.00 plus drink to dine here).


Ordered of first two serving of Pathumthani & Ayutthaya beef rice noodles. Ayutthaya on the left while Pathumthani on the right.

Pathumthani beef noodles with small chunk of beef and vegetables. Sourish with spicy flavour. The sauce is derived from dark soy sauce. Not that spicy.

Ayutthaya beef noodles has thicker broth. More flavour and creamy compared to Pathumthani broth.

Each bowl of noodles at MYR1.90.

Chicken rice noodles.

Completed 8 bowls. I personally does not like this concept as its not environmentally friendly. The worker need to clean so many bowls as the amount of noodles in each bowl is so small. This also increase the labour cost to clean all these bowls.

Boat Noodles trendy also due to their heavy presence in social media and have strong follower among the community.

Chocolate heaven of Lindt Cafe @ Sydney, Australia

Lindt Cafe Sydney located in Martin Place not only selling drinks and place for people to enjoy their tea time but it also sells many varieties of Lindt chocolate, macaroons, crepe and ice cream. Having a good quality food place at a very crowded area is lesser nowadays. After a long day of walking and doing touristy thing, it was a nice place to stop for chocolate and sweet to recharge and adding energy. However I noticed that the service here is slow and the waiters are not attentive. I was sitting at the table for around 10-15 minutes without anyone attending to be until I raise my hand to order. I went there during evening around 5.00pm and the cafe was not busy during that time. Nevertheless, once ordered, I get my hot chocolate and caramel cake quite fast.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. The chocolate caramel cake is very rich and creamy. Its very sweet as well which I like it. The dark hot chocolate taste was very rich and taste delicious).
Price:4/10(Expensive. Small piece of chocolate caramel cake at AUD9.90 and dark hot chocolate at AUD7.50).
