Shiroi Koibito!!

I’ve been dying to try the famous chocolate since like forever! Unfortunately, i’ve never been to Japan and no one (up till now) that i know of who’d been to Japan brought home these yummy stuff *sniff*.

Apparently it’s really difficult to find even in Japan itself. It’s only available in Hokkaido and Narita Airport or so i’m told.



And here we are a box of Shiroi Koibito (White Lover) by Ishiya, white chocolate sandwiched between langue de chat (cat’s tongue cookies).

Ok, i didn’t know what are cat’s tongue cookies so i Googled it. To my relief it has nothing to do with felines or any part of the organ. LOL. The cookies are called cat’s tongue because of its shape and size which resembles the cat’s tongue.

Just so you know :P .



The packaging is really nice. You have to unwrapped 3 layers before you can get to the chocolate.

First tear off the outer wrapping, then there’s the pretty box and within are small thin pieces of chocolate cookies each wrapped in plastic wrappings.



I forgot to count because i was drooling to get one into my mouth. I think there must have been 30 pieces in the box.



This is the only photo of the actual cookie. It’s so thin that most of them just broke into half when i tear off the wrapper.

Anyhow, the cookie taste really great and the texture very airy but crispy. The white chocolate very milky. In fact, i find it too milky but after the second piece it get’s addictive. It’s just so yummy!

No wonder it’s so famous :) )

Kedai Makanan Teochew – Porridge Restaurant

Filed Under (Chinese Cuisine, Food in Kuala Lumpur, Food in Malaysia, Food in Pudu, Non Halal, Teochew Cuisine) by kuanfoodfetish on 25-08-2010

Here is the Kedai Makanan Teochew or better known as Porridge Restaurant that opens till the wee hours of the morning.

Located at Pudu, the boyfriend had visited the shop at 4am after a long hour of OT at work. Even at that early there were many customers enjoying the yummy porridge. Well, it is good for business when there are clubs nearby and right above the shop is a “dodgy motel” according to the boyfriend LOL.

It’s actually been around for ages and was once quite popular, now there aren’t as many patrons in the daytime but still many frequents it at night.



We were in town that weekend (i had to make an errand at KLCC) and we were feeling peckish.

I suggested we have porridge since we were in the vicinity. It’d just opposite the now demolished Pudu Jail.



The shop is the average Chinese coffee shop; narrow and with a few tables but you can sit at the table at the neighboring coffee shop (the shops are connected within).

They serves rice or the watery Teochew porridge with a variety of side dishes mostly made up of braised meats and pickled vegetable which are laid out in trays near the entrance .



We had a difficult time choosing the dishes. In the end we settled with our familiar favorites. :)

Braised peanuts! I must have peanuts with porridge. Always.



Minced pork with preserved radishes (choy pou). Yum!



The boyfriend’s fav, braised pig intestines.



Preserved mustard cabbage (mui choy).



I wanted to get salted eggs but unfortunately there were none. I think they ran out of those.

Overall, we had a satisfying meal and the side dishes definitely complement the watery porridge. Not the best one i’ve had but it was good nevertheless. Everything cost us RM20.00 inclusive of 2 glass of cincau (grass jelly with syrup drink).

Fast Cash Advance

Filed Under (Moolah Reviews) by kuanfoodfetish on 25-08-2010

Have you have days when you are really tight on the budget; you even have to think twice when it comes to money for meals? Sometimes we are so in debt or short of cash by the end of the month, small items are a luxury. A payday loan would definitely help in these situations, especially when there are emergencies.


A payday loan also known as cash advance loans is basically a short-term (sometimes needs repayment within a month depending on the contract) loan for potential borrower so that they could cover their expenses until the next payday. The loan amount is of a small amount.

Securing a payday loans does not have complicated and tedious procedures as compared to other conventional loans. It is fast and a bad credit history does not guarantee a rejected application as the approval requirements and verifications are simple.

There are many types of payday loans in the market. For example, there are fax-less payday loans, instant payday loans, overnight loans and even same say payday loans. All these are fast cash advances to cater for people with not enough cash to use before the next salary comes in. Payday loans like the same say cash advance is great when there is an emergency like to pay hospital bills or for car repair.
