Food Day Out!

Backdated post. Actual event took place on 10 September 2006.

It’s always a happy day knowing that you will wake up to good food. A prior date has been set. To try out the famous Lum Mee and it’s sotong Fishballs and Fu Pei (something similar to Yong Tau Foo). May King is the locked target. Well, I actually didn’t know where we are heading to or what shop it is until I practically get there. According to my food guide (Miss Gigi), May King is located next to a wet market called Pudu Pasar.

When I reach the place, it somehow looked familiar. Yeah, I tried it once before. It was back in year 2002. When I first started to work… Gigi brought me there too. But of course we just pack and eat in the office at that time.

Of course one must try what is famous… and Lum Mee it is. The thick yellow noodles topped with shredded chicken meat, prawns and yummy thick black gravy. Ooo la la… it just makes me drool each time I think of it. The fishballs were equally good with chunky bits of sotong. But the best of all was the Fu Pei. It just got this great aroma and taste. I think if I didn’t order my bowl of noodles I could just finish up the whole bowl by myself.

According to my reliable source,it’s a hassle to get a place to seat in the shop as it is most of the time packed. Don’t be fooled thinking you could just stand at the front of the line and food will come to you. They do have numbering system. So be smart and get a number or else you probably would just end up standing there the whole day and not getting a place.

I heard the Curry Mee was equally good. But well, my stomach was giving this FULL warning. So… next time it is.

A good drink is all it need to refreshen us after a filling Lum Mee lunch and a slow walk in KLCC. Bored of the normal coffee places like Starbucks and Coffee Bean, we decided to head to Chinoz On The Park which well, from the name one would know… it’s just by the park. I was actually captivated with their glass sticker. I loved the colours and I think it looks great and work great as a background to take pictures.

As usual, Gigi would order a Latte (RM11.00). Coffee addiction alert! Brian ordered Mango Fizz (RM12.00) and I ordered Pink Chocolate (RM16.00). Haha… yes, me and pink are just partner in cime.. and chocolate, woohoo… I can hear it calling my name~ yes… it’s calling my name.

What exectly is a Pink chocolate? Pink Chocolate is a mixture of cranberry and strawberry juice mixed with white chocolate essence. Ah… there you have it. That’s what being written on the menu. Of course, I thought it would look pink but apparently it doesn’t.

The best part, they even serves us complimentary breads… wee. Yeay… free hot buns.. free hot buns. Er… okay… now.. what shall we do after tea and before movies? Hemm… any ideas?
