KuanFoodFetishI Have A Fetish For Orgasmic Heaven Inducing Food. I Will Not Reform

By the way, i apologize in advance for the low quality photos. It was taken with the sister’s phone and we hadn’t got familiar with the camera settings yet T_T.

Chinaman Restaurant

The restaurant serves China style cuisine with nice looking China style interior – complete with wooden and marble table with very red walls .

Here’s a picture of the entrance.

Interior

The seating area is quite cozy and very clean.

I think the staff are mostly from China judging by their Mandarin accent. Fortunately the boyfriend speaks Chinese because i’m absolutely useless in that department LOL.

They were a helpful and friendly bunch too.

Peking Roast Duck

Ever since the boyfriend tried the Peking Roast Duck in Beijing he had been searching for the similar taste back here in Malaysia but most of the eateries here were pretty disappointing.

Coincidently Chinaman Restaurant has that Peking Roast Duck on the menu so we took the chance to have a try.

Pancake

We ordered half a duck and the order came in 2 style of cooking. The outer more fleshy part of the duck were marinated and roasted till the skin was crisp while the inner part where it’s mostly bones were salted and deep fried.

The roasted duck came with few pieces of Chinese pancakes. To eat, we have to wrap the duck, spring onions and sweet sauce with the pancakes.

Salty Duck

The roasted duck was crispy and not bad but i’ll let the boyfriend be the judge since he had eaten the “real thing” before.

Quote from the boyfriend “Not bad but it’s not as tasty and fragrant as the original in Beijing. Comes close though”.

Definitely should be eaten while it’s hot.

I on the other hand loved the salted duck. It was super crispy and delicious. Like biting into those soft KFC bones but this is much more tastier haha.

Squirrel Fish

Next came the deep fried Squirrel Fish. It’s not the actual squirrelfish you get from the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean but it’s just fish that is cut into diamond motif to look like a hedgehog then smothered in sweet-and-sour sauce.

Why it’s call Squirrel Fish beats me.

The fish however was rather tasty. I liked it because there’s no bones and it’s easy to eat not to mention the sauce was pretty great.

Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce

The Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce was equally good if not better. Other than pork, there’s enoki mushroom, beancurd, Chinese wood ear mushroom and a little bit of carrot.

This dish is light but satisfying. The garlic sauce aromatic and sweet. Thumbs up!

Lettuce with Sauce

Last came the Shanghai Pau Fried Pork Bun which also was something the boyfriend had tried in Beijing and absolutely loved.

This version however was a tad disappointing. Not that it’s not tasty but it doesn’t taste the same as the original.

Shanghai Pau with Fried Pork Bun

The bun taste similar to Xiao Long Pau but the skin is much more thick and the skin is slightly fried. The boyfriend told me that the original one is with very moist pork fillings, with soup pouring out if it just like Xiao Long Pao but here at Chinaman Restaurant there’s no soup so it’s a little dry.

Tasty but not great.

1/2 Peking Roast Duck – RM38.00
Squirrel Fish – RM32.00
Shanghai Pau Fried Pork Bun (8 pieces) – RM20.00
Lettuce with Sauce – RM10.00
Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce – RM18.00

It was the first day of Chinese New Year so naturally we went vegan for that day. Not being a vege lover, it was pretty difficult for me to stick with vegetables and bean curd and what ever vegans eat and by the end of the day i was really craving for meat!

Yee Sang

So anyways, we went to Shui Yuan Court Vegetarian Restaurant for brunch. It’s located on the same row as Sai Kong Restaurant in Kepong.

We often go there when we were little to celebrate grandma’s birthday but haven’t been there since she’s gone. I don’t even remember how is the food there.

Appetizer

The place was really packed on chor yat (first day of CNY), we had to wait quite long for a table. Finally we got a table up front but the restaurant is not spacious so people kept bumping into our chairs!

Lousy shark fin soup

The service was so bad that i vowed never to return.

First nobody attended to us. The staff was busy with other customers. When finally one of the staff came over to place order, she was very impatient and rude. She kept pushing us to order the CNY set and seemed very frustrated when we ask about the dishes in the menu.

Salty fish vegetarian style

Mom relented and ordered one of the CNY set. The set is inclusive of yee sang, 1 appetizer, 6 main vegetarian dishes and a dessert.

Vegetarian braised pork knuckle

The food was just so-so and there were no vegetables, almost all were beancurd and doughs.

The vegetarian shark fin was the worst being too salty that nobody wanted second helpings.

Vegetarian prawn

By the time we managed to finish the 3rd dish, we were so jelak. I actually felt nauseated because of all the dough.

Mushroom with fatt choy

The best dish of the day must be the stir-fry mushroom with fatt choy.

We didn’t even manage to eat the last dish which was the glutinous rice because we felt so full. In the end we ta pao it back for dinner.

Glutinous Rice

As for the dessert, we didn’t get any. The staff ran out of ice and didn’t other to tell us so we waited almost more than 1/2 hour for it and finally we left without it!

Everything cost arounf RM350++ which to me is rather pricey for food in this standard. Won’t return again (eventhough sis swears that their food is usually good during non-festive days).

Well i have a few food post but unfortunately it’s without photos. It’s a nuisance not having a camera phone around when you need it. But i will post the review nevertheless with “borrowed” photos from other blogs again. Sorry >.<

Ok, maybe not today. Today i have one really outdated review that’s been seating on my desktop for ages now.

Salas

When we are really in a lazy mood we often venture the opposite shops from the condo. There are plenty of eatery nearby to satisfy the hunger although not the taste. And when we have a sudden crave for western food like chicken chop, it seems there are plenty of run-of-the-mill western restaurant nearby.

Watermelon juice

One of them is the corner shop named Blockhouse Eastern & Western Dining restaurant. I was skeptical since i had really a bad case of food poisoning from similar style restaurant elsewhere.

But seeing the place is always full of patrons, we went in and sat down.

Sausage

The place is dimly lit and quite comfortable and the service fast.

The food however, wasn’t really good.

Chicken chop

The chicken chop with cheese and the fried crab claw was alright but mediocre. I could taste the metal taste of the knife used to cut the salad appetizer. The sausage was ok but needs to be cooked longer.

The presentation wasn’t really appetizing either.

Fried crab claw

For such prices i could easily get better food elsewhere. But as i was saying, we were in a lazy mood .

Fried Crab Claw – RM6.80
Special Chicken Chop – RM15.80
Blockhouse Sausage and Mash Potato – RM16.90
Watermelon Juice – RM8.00
