Edmund from Ah Cheng Laksa recently invited us to eat dinner at the Ah Cheng Laksa branch at e@Curve (formerly Cineleisure Mutiara Damansara) a while back to sample a few of his dishes.

Myself, Steve and Sue Ann were there as well as fellow blogger, Timothy from 3 Meals of Goodness.

It’s always nice to meet other people who have the same interest as us and admittedly, we’ve not done it enough… perhaps more in the future?

But anyway, back to the food. Edmund let us sample a few noodles dishes, some soup and some rice dishes. (more…)

On our last day in Penang, we decided to head to Pulau Tikus to have our lunch. We remember seeing a crowded coffee shop while driving in the area during our hunting trail. This coffee shop is situated directly opposite the Pulau Tikus police station.

Pulau Tikus

After many wrong turns and many road stops to check our faithful Penang map, we manage to back track and re-located this coffee shop. And we’re glad to say, no regrets on ending our Penang trip eating here.

Shene had apparently eaten here before many many years ago, and excitedly pointed out that the char kuey teow here was good. ( Till that day, we still have yet to eat a good plate of char kuey teow). The assam laksa stall also caught my eye as the uncle was preparing many many bowls of assam laksa to serve. Also, at the back of the shop was a stall displaying the sign famous wan tan mee. So In the end, we ordered 2 plates of char kuey teow, 2 bowl of assam laksa ,1 plate of wan tan mee and 1 bowl of wan tans.

Famous Pulau Tikus Char Kuey Teow

Our plate of char kuey teow came, and we knew then that we have come to the right place. This was the char kuey teow we were looking for. It was just perfect and only for a price of RM3.00 (egg) . Look at the huge prawns, in KL we only get shrimp size prawns plus this had an added bonus of some ju yau char ‘ fried pork fat’. Delicious.

Pulau Tikus Assam Laksa

The assam laksa was by far one of the best I have tasted. The broth for the assam laksa was not too thick so it was quite light on the palate. All the ingredients blended in very well with each other and 1 bowl was not enough. So after finishing the first bowl we proceeded to seconds, and even after that I was still craving more. Priced at only RM2.50 per bowl who can resist?

Famous Wan Tan Mee

Famous Wan Tans

The wan tan mee was a different style to the one found here in KL. The texture of the noodles was slightly different, more chewy I would say. It was the wan tans that had us going. The wan tans were very big. It almost looked like miniature curry puffs and it was full of meaty goodness inside. It finished very fast after it got to our table.

We will definitely come back here the next time we are Penang. We loved the food at this place very very much and its cheap too!! Average price for a meal is RM2.50 – RM3.50.  If only KL were so cheap, then having a food blog won’t cost us so much. haha.

Mix Cafe, Phileo Damansara I, Petaling Jaya

This café was given life 10 years ago, when my aunty and uncle decided to open their café in Phileo. I guess they got tired of being bossed around at work, and decided to be their own bosses, hence the birth of Mix Café.

Yummy Yummy mix rice...So many varieties

Mix café as its name suggests sells Mix rice (economy rice) and also ala carte meals ranging from Asian to Western. It is unlike any other coffee shop that serves economy rice but rather it is the neighbourhood (officehood) cafe with a clean, comfortable ambience and friendly service.Most of the patrons to the shop are those working around Phileo itself and is packed during the lunch hours.

The lunch crowd is trickling in..

Feedmelah decided to pay them a visit recently to sample some of their food. We went for their daily house specials which varies daily. On the menu that day (Friday) was their famous assam laksa and also hainanese chicken rice balls. Drinks (soya bean/sugar cane/ soft drinks) are also available for selected lunch specials.

House special Assam Laksa..Yum

The assam laksa, as always, never disappoints. It came generously served in a big bowl and is made fresh in front of you. The noodles are served in a nice thick broth coupled with generously sliced pineapples and cucumbers to give it the extra sweetness and topped with thick slices of ikan kembung and mint leaves. Eaten all together will definitely bring satisfaction to your tummy.

Hainanese Chicken Rice balls now available in PJ!!

Next up, the hainanese chicken rice balls which comes with a side of tau geh ( a must with chicken rice) and a bowl of soup. Now you don’t have to drive all the way to Malacca for a good plate of chicken rice balls cause you can get it all here in PJ. Plus the chicken rice balls are much bigger than the ever shrinking chicken rice balls in Malacca. Chicken was tender and fresh and eaten together with the chilli, well, its as good as it gets. Delicious.

Also look out for their kuih keria (sweet potato donuts) which are made fresh daily. It a seller. Other must try house specials are the curry laksa, chikuteh, tomyam fried rice, ikan bakar and prawn mee.

They also deliver to the nearby offices during lunch hour to cater to the needs of those who are still being bossed around (no pun intended). So if you are working in Phileo Damansara and need a quick lunch but for some reason your boss won’t let you, give Mix a call and they’ll work something out (food wise).

** Delivery service of pre-ordered lunch packs to the office in Phileo Damanasara and Damansara Heights area (Minimum order of RM100) between 11am – 12:30pm. Further enquiries email doorstepdelivery@gmail.com or call 016-2631135.
(Note: The menus hanging on the walls were painted by my mum. Just thought i’ll add that in..haha).
