Wingzone - Nuclear Habanero is a c4 bomb !


While Wingzone has outlets from the USA , to Panama , Bahamas , Singapore , Russia , Saudi Arabia and  the Dominican Republic , they have no presence in Penang nor KL , thus if you want to try this , you'll have to either head on down to Kampar , Sri Manjung or Greentown .

Smalltown Jackfruit - Part 2


I heard that this orange fleshed Jackfruit can be found in Kelantan , Kalimantan , Vietnam and even India .
Thus when I first laid eyes on it ( since all I'd ever seen up till now was yellow in colour ) I just had to ask the seller what the fruit tasted like compared to the yellow fleshed species .

Happy Meal - Transformers Robots in Disguise


Did you join the crazy crowds waiting to snap up Transformer toys at the local Toys "R" Us recently ?
I didn't but I made sure I took some trouble to get this for one of my loved ones .
And he likes the one and only Optimus Prime so much , it pretty much follows him everywhere !


Nasi Bamboo Sungai Klah - Elf Chicken , Bamboo Rice


Loyal readers of this blog of mine will know just what a huge fan of Malay cuisine I am .
And it was by chance that we discovered this place so far away from home .

While this is what the Nasi Bamboo or Bamboo Rice served here , looks like , you might think that it may just be hype and nothing much more than that . 

Scroll down and see for yourself .

Mantis prawns - kam heong style


It's not very often that you see me eating mantis prawns .
Most chefs simply do not know how to handle this dish and I simply have not found a place which will get me raving over them , that is until today .
Sometimes the execution is not very exciting , other times I find traces of Nestum in it , which makes me put the place on the ban list .

Anyway , we're at Sri Nibong kopitiam , and I wanna try something new . Point to the picture just above the kitchen as I ask the waiter what it is .

" Pissing Prawn " he replies in Cantonese ( direct translation ) . Suggests we take it Kam Heong style .
I nod my head and add another 2 dishes to accompany this one .

When this glorious plate arrived , we certainly did not expect to rave over it. Kam Heong style is a cooking flavour developed in Malaysia . While I've tried many versions , this is by far the best . Deep fried till almost crunchy , this style goes so well with the mantis prawns , it just knocked us off our feet ! Dry sauce is rendang like and darned addictive and so maddeningly delicious , we dig into our meal like ravenous creatures .
