Duck King: PJ Jaya One

It was early September, me and my friends went to Jaya One, PJ, for sushi king RM2 per plate promotion. We were so excited, but so disappointed when we found out that the deal finished in the month of August. So we had to find others. Instead of Sushi King, we went to Duck King! (Yes, we still go to "King..")

Probably we were attracted to this board? Whole Roasted Dang Gui Duck for RM 38 nett?

So we went it and started to order as all was super hungry that evening. To our surprise, the waitress told us that we had to pay RM38 cash upfront. Oh, so no credit cards allowed? We need to pay cash to secure our duck from swimming away? Haha..

And we had to pay that RM38, just for that duck, after making orders.

Deng..deng.. deng.., then the duck came..of course not by itself but served by a waitress..

The portion didn't look that big, but actually it was very big! There were 5 of us, and i feel that ate most duck that it's enough for my 1-year quota!
There was a little of herb smell, the Chinese Dang Gui, but it's totally not that strong. I would prefer the strong one, especially with the Herb in sauce. The meat texture was just nice, the skin was crispy, and i would say, it was not superb, but it was standard. With the promotion price, it was really worth.

Whole Roasted Duck

I like this the most. It was served hot, with crispy skin and soft inner part. The salt and pepper coated equally and nicely on each golden piece. It was not served with fancy sauce, but i think the chef just put an adequate amount of salt and pepper on it. It was neither too salty nor spicy. With some spring onion and chopped chilies as decoration, when biting it, the salt and pepper just melt together in my mouth.

Pepper Salt Deep Fried Taufu

We ordered the mix vegetables, stir-fry of lotus root with black fungus, celery and other mix vegetables.

Stir-fry Lotus root and mix

This is called : Fire burn "Zhu Ba Jie" (in Mandarin) or "Zhu Bat Gai" (in Cantonese). What a funny and attractive name. But the taste was very nice!

Fire Burn "Zhu Ba Jie"

On the upper floor, there were displayed of live seafood, such as oyster, prawn, and variety kind of fishes. Next time i will order the fresh oyster.

Live Fish

Overall this place served nice and quality food. There were 5 of us, and total meal cost around RM130. It will surely higher without the promotion. Of course the price is a bit high, looking at the decoration, quality of the food served, and services. And now they are having promotion for the whole roasted duck. I am not sure when will the promotion last, but make sure you bring enough cash to pay for the whole roasted duck at promotional price! Be early as the promotion is valid only from 530pm till 730pm.

Papa birthday

My father's birthday falls on the day before Malaysia's independent day. 30th of August. But he doesn't know when is his actual birthday in lunar calendar. In the old tradition, he is not allowed to know his birthday. So it's kept as a secret until now. No one know except my grandparents, and they are not here anymore since long time ago.

I guess my father doesn't like cake that much, but he will be happy to see the cake. This simply means, yes, we remember it, your birthday, papa.

It should be written as: Happy Birthday Papa, but end up as Happy Birthday Bapa..=-=''

The rabbit in my house

Just a few weeks ago my housemates brought back a rabbit (given by their friends).The cute rabbit is given a name of milky. But she has a lot of names, given by different housemates. I wonder if the rabbit get confused too. One of my housemates named her Bunny or Bun Bun, another one named her Mi Ku (a type of Chinese bun similar to pau). And i named her Wei En. (A character from a Taiwan series).

I always wonder, how to have a rabbit type of lifestyle? I think i haven't seen Milky fall asleep. I normally sleep at 12, i see Milky is eating happily. I wake up at 7 in the morning, and i see Milky is still eating happily. So rabbit doesn't need sleep? I wonder. That is why my friend calls it as "shape converter". The food is rectangular shape, and after eating, the rabbit produces poop in round shape. So this "shape converter" is just transforming shape everyday at every hour and minutes. When will Milky get tired of eating? Hmm..

Milky likes fresh vegetables. When the owner gives carrot, milky will jump. I think fresh vegetables or fruits make her active.

This is the way Milky likes to be pampered. I will tell her, "come, Mo mo tou" (which means touch your head in mandarin). Milky seems to understand it, and she will stay still, and close her eye, with feeling of satisfaction.

Sometimes Milky puts one of her ear down. What is she doing actually?

This is when she feel bored of the fast food. After a few days staying in cage, when she sees us passing by, she will bite the cage, like telling you: "I can bite the steel!"

And sometimes Milky stands like a Ratatouille!

The first thing i wake up in the morning is, to see if Milky is safe in the cage or not. The first thing when i reach home after work is, to see if Milky is safe in the cage or not. But sometimes i can see Milky's boring face in the cage. I guess this is called KL life. Cage, fast food and life without green field. Milky looks pitiful. So do we. By looking at her pity face, what is she actually thinking of? "How can i get out of this cage?"? or "How can i see more friends?"?

She is only allowed to be out of the cage during night time, when we are home. That is when she can jump and run in the living room.

Sometimes, life in KL is lonely where everyone is chasing for work, datelines, and most important, money.

My housemates sent Milky back to my housemate's house in Banting, since last weekend. I miss Milky very much. But considering KL life and kampung life, i think kampung life is a better choice for her. Hope she will enjoy her life in kampung with her friend, and appreciate it!

New Isetan Food Market in KLCC: Episode of Pastry

New KLCC Isetan Food Market

The arrangement of Isetan is almost the same as Cold Storage KLCC. On the right hand side of the entrance, right in front of cashier, there is a bakery called Sun Moulin. The bread looks quite traditional. And they show on the spot how they cut the freshly baked bread and put into bags for customers.

One of their bread loaf is in cylindrical shape, looks like plastic mineral bottle?

New Isetan in KLCC: Isetan Food Market

The new Isetan in Suria KLCC is now opened. This is the first time i see Isetan with food market. It's called Isetan Foodmarket. I supposed they open earlier than the opening date, when i visited the place it was 7th of September. There are lots of new merchants in the Isetan new Foodmarket. Fresh food there include: Vegetables, Fruits, Frozen seafood, pastry, etc, as what normal merchants provide.

The things here attract me, especially the seafood and pastry. Most of the frozen seafood Isetan Suria KLCC has, are from Japan. Why i say they attract me? As they are cute, and i couldn't find in normal places like Giant or Cold Storage. Normal seafood we can find are: Salmon, Clam, Tuna, Oyster, Fish, Crab, Cod Fish, etc, yes. But what i see here, are quite special, and they are of course expensive too.

1. A slice of Imported Australian Wagyu beef steak sold at RM30++

2. Awabi Yamarakani: I don't understand what it means. But i think it's a type of Abaloon (recognize from the Chinese character).

3. Hotate x x: I guess this should be fresh scallop from Japan? 10 pieces for RM80?? oh..

4. Hotate Tepanyaki: This should be the scallop with tepanyaki sauce.

5. Tako: One of the Optopus tail cost more than RM20.

5. Amaebi Sashimi: Prawn is not rare. But the prawns, even smaller than my last finger, sold at RM15++ for only 10 pieces are rare! I should have taken the photo with my finger! They really look- small and cute!

6. Taraba Bedoro: The Long Leg of crab. Yummy, this should be sweet and meaty! It will need just a bit of salt, cheese, garlic, and an oven.

7. Oh, this is real traditional Japanese Taufu then? I wonder how they taste, travelling far from oversea.

8. Tartare Aperfrais: Are they cheese? They are just as big as my little thumb.

There are lots more food to discover. I guess you can learn Japanese fast here, especially the special seafood name.

Mooncakes Gift Set Design

Every Mooncake festival of the year, i think mooncakes are sold as gift, more than own-consume.
During small time, i like to collect those boxes. For me, i think the boxes are precious, as we can only have the design on that year. Merchants update the design every year. If you like the box, you have to buy the mooncake, if not you will just miss it. Sometimes i think, they seem like selling the boxes more than selling mooncake!

During primary school, the mooncakes came with steel container. Nowadays, more merchants design their boxes in those wooden paper type. This is great transformation as wooden or cardboard type is more environmental friendly, does not corrode easily, and can be design in various shapes and ways.

For Tai Thong, there are 4 season mooncake this year. I still see their traditional steel container. But  Tai Thong flavours are very creative: Wholesome Wheatgrass with Single Yolk, Golden Honey Grapefruit and Pineapple, Snow Skin Chocolate Yogurt with Cranberry Bits, etc..

Casahana (Xi Yue Tang in mandarin), is now emerging too. Their gift sets design improves each year.

Their new flavour this year: Yammy Sesame, Oaty Fruity and Oriental Passion.

I first know Yong Sheng from a Muar friend of mine. I like the traditional Lou Po Peng. But nowadays, their mooncake flavours are quite modern too. Their gift set look elegant but still maintain the traditional feel.

This year, i collected single box from Six Happiness, and also Baker's Cottage (Mai Ke Si in mandarin).

And there are also other types of nice gift set (some come with tea set) with nice packaging.
