Hot N Juicy Crawfish @ Las Vegas, USA

This place serve one of the nicest food that I had in Las Vegas. You order the food here by the pound. If you love spicy food, you have to try this place. Do take note that eating at this place can be quite messy. Avoid wearing white clothes or plain shirt. Depending on your tolerance for spicy, you can choose how spicy your food to be. Here they provide you plenty of plastic gloves to eat your food and food comes in bags.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. Do select the flavor as Hot N Juicy. And select the spicy level of one below the normal spicy level that you usually have. Even at mild level, its already spicy. Taste wise it really good especially with the sauce).
Price:6/10(Moderate. The price here is depending on what you order. The best value is the shrimp at USD16.00 for each pound. If you want to splurge, they have lobster and king crab leg at USD31.00 and USD35.00 for each pound respectively).

Air fried wontons at Little Wonton @ Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, Kuala Lumpur

Attracted to this cafe as they are selling air fried wontons. I curious to know how does it taste like. Of course the good thing about air fried wontons is oil free. You able to savour your favourite wonton without the nasty oil residue. The selection of wontons and noodles here are good. You can basically choose some fancy wonton flavours such as mushroom onion cheese, chili chicken pineapple, banana peanut butter, spicy Thai tuna, black pepper chicken, crabstick cheese and chicken cranberry. As for the noodles, you can also expect similar funky taste such as vinegar garlic lychee, spicy peanut butter and spicy pickled vegetables. Me being slightly conservative picked creamy roasted sesame noodles and have a set of mixed wontons. I choose mixed wontons as I like surprises on the wonton flavours. The place provide high speed wifi and you can enjoy your meal while surfing the net.

Taste:7/10(Moderate. The texture of the wontons is crispy when it's fresh. Its recommended to eat it while hot. I found the chocolate banana flavour and mushroom onion cheese taste the best. Each of the wonton is quite heavy and its pack of ingredients. The noodles taste is moderate as I don't find it special other than they have a variety of flavours to choose from and its black. Maybe the creamy roasted sesame noodles does not appeal to my taste. Maybe other flavour next time).
Price:6/10(Moderate. I took their all day set of little wonton value meal set. It includes a bowl of charcoal noodles, 6 pieces of wontons and a cup of lemongrass tea for MYR17.00. Since I choose mixed wonton, I get 8 wontons instead. The downside of having mixed wontons is that you can't choose the flavour. So its random).


Charcoal noodles with creamy roasted sesame sauce. Nice lemongrass tea.

They claimed the charcoal noodle brings good benefit to health.

Pau lovers midnight attraction @ Kedai Kopi Ti Ee, Klang

There is a pau stall in Kedai Kopi Ti Ee in Klang which has been operating for almost 40 years. The weird thing is that they don't open during daytime or early evening. They only open from 10.00pm onwards until 2.00am. Located in a coffeeshop at the intersection of Persiaran Raja Muda Musa and Jalan Hilir, this coffeeshop can easily seen. Just opposite the obvious red colour Ambank. Even they only open at 10.00pm, the queue already started earlier than that. Myself has to wait for almost 40 minutes when I arrived at 10.30pm. Their pau does stand out from the rest on the density. Even though their pau looks smaller, but the amount of ingredient in there is very dense and full of flavour. Other than pau, the stall also sells dim sum.

Taste:7/10(Moderate. I like their mushroom pau as it contain generous amount of mushrooms. The taste is good. As for their large pau, the ingredient is quite dense and with much meat. The skin of pau sold here is also thinner. Taste wise is not that great for large pau. Very good portion to fill up hungry person).
Price:4/10(Near expensive. I noticed their price is higher but the pau getting smaller recently and their amount of ingredient is not as good. I certainly won't be queuing that long or travel that far to enjoy the pau. You can get better pau elsewhere in Klang).


Very long queue when arrived at 10.30pm.

Almost there.

Wow, they have so much variety of dim sum. Feel greedy want to buy all after queuing for so long :-)

Check out the famous flavour.

I don't manage to buy their san yuk pau as it was finished when reached my turn!

Delicious sushi supper at Sushi Zanmai @ Akihabara, Tokyo

Sushi Zanmai is a famous sushi chain restaurant in Japan. I like the outlet located in Akihabara as it near to the place that I stay in Tokyo, reasonable price, fresh and open for 24 hours. Since I am going back on the next day morning, having premium sushi as supper here is a bliss. For those who can't speak Japanese, no problem as they have English menu. This is good option for you to have good sushi while visiting Japan.

Taste:10/10(Excellent. Really fresh sushi and taste great. The best is still their fatty tuna. The fatty tuna is delicious and sweet).
Price:4/10(Near expensive. Although the price is on the high side, but it worth it. I ordered 12 pieces of ala carte sushi at 3600 Yen plus tax. This price is very reasonable if you compared it to other sushi restaurants in Tokyo).




Fatty tuna (toro). 398 Yen.

Medium fatty tuna. 298 Yen.


Conger eel sushi. 398 Yen.

Famous ramen of Menya Musashi main restaurant @ Shinjuku, Tokyo

Menya Musashi is a famous chain ramen restaurant in Japan and their outlet in Shinjuku is their main restaurant. Do come here early or later if you would like to have their delicious ramen queue free. The restaurant is a bit hard to locate as the signboard does not have any English wording. The shop name is in japanese and I was standing outside the restaurant for a while figuring whether I am at the correct restaurant. Until someone came out from the shop then I asked whether this is Menya Musashi and they said "yes".

Taste:9/10(Delicious. The lean pork slice were tender and fatty meat were good as well. You can taste a hint of orange peel in the soup and maybe that is the secret to tasty soup. The soup was moderately thick and enough saltiness. Noodles texture were good and the place were clean and comfortable - unlike some of the places that I went which is cramped).
Price:6/10(Moderate. I ordered their ramen with everything in. I had the version which the noodles inside soup with bamboo shoot, egg, pork and seaweed. The price was 1080 Yen including tax. You need the specify the amount of noodles that you would like to have either small, medium or large. Do make sure you are a big eater before ordering large portion).


Finally I found the shop. Located two streets away from the underneath izakaya of train lines.

Peng Yuan Hokkien Mee @ Petaling Jaya

Peng Yuan Hokkien mee stall located on the same shop row of another famous hokkien mee noodles stall in Petaling Jaya. Since I have tried Hokkien mee from Ahwa before, I decided to try out their competitor as well. Usually when there is a popular shop around, then there will have many shops selling the same items opening up around hoping for business flow from the popular shop. The Hokkien mee stall located in Restaurant Mei Keng in Jalan 222 also have other stalls selling items such as popiah, fried chicken and rojak. While waiting for your hokkien mee, you can try those food as well. I don't have chance to try them as they were closed when I was there. Probably its too late at night.

Taste:8/10(Good. The hokkien mee contains sufficient amount of seafood such as squid and prawn. I also have pork slice, pork lard and cabbage which makes the noodles wet and delicious).
Price:8/10(Cheap. The hokkien noodles here priced at MYR7.00 which is MYR1.00 cheaper than Ahwa).


Black fried hokkien noodles with lots of lard. The sambal comes with the noodles were good as well.

Pork curry tonkatsu at COCO Ichibanya @ Gotanda, Tokyo, Japan

COCO Ichibanya is a chain restaurant in Japan which serves chicken or pork tonkatsu in spicy sauce. In japan, they have more than 1200 outlets. The service is attentive, fast and efficient. You need to decide on three items when you order for meal in COCO Ichibanya. First is to decide what type of curry you want: chicken, pork or beef curry. Then the amount of rice. Less rice gets price reduction. And finally the level of spiciness. Their tagline is Good Smell, Good Curry. I visited their Gotanda outlet which is near to JR station and my review as below.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. The pork curry taste good with crispy pork tonkatsu. The rice is succulent and blends well with the curry. The curry is flavourful).
Price:7/10(Moderate. I ordered the pork tonkatsu with 200g of rice with regular spicy curry. Less rice get discounted here. The meal price was 7XX Yen and its good)


Delicious pork curry rice.

The curry blends well with the sticky rice.

Good place to have supper. You can see how they cook the tonkatsu if you sit near the counter. I like the fast food restaurant setup in Japan as they have open kitchen which allow visitor to view the cooking process.

You can choose the spicy level from the menu. If you need extra spicy, then you have to pay for it.

Same as rice. If you need more rice, you have to pay for it. But if you need less rice, then you will get price reduction from the standard menu. How nice it is.
