Weekend Eats

Picking The Best, swiped from williamnyk on Flickr.

After a long hiatus, SK rejoined mum and I on our Saturday morning sojourn. For the third week in a row, mum chose to go to NSK. For some reason, it wasn't very well-stocked that day, with lots of rotting produce put in the bargain bins. Breakfast was at one of the old coffeeshops at Taman Naga Emas, Salak South. Rivalry among the adjacent shops stopped me from trying pan mee from another stall, so I just stuck with our regular. Seeing some delicious Hainanese chicken, SK ordered a portion to be shared. The skin was super yellow and glistening, hinting at a delicious taste and an explosion of fat and cholesterol. But that was nothing compared to the side of chicken liver. Hehe. Scrumptious. The pan mee was great as usual. I like the torn variety because it's very thin, with zero flour aftertaste. And the soup was clear with little hint of flavour additives. For lunch, we headed out to Serdang for dishes at Leong Ngar. Cheap food but the YTF wasn't impressive. The fish paste didn't taste too fresh. Better bet at Serdang Sisters just a few shops away. On the way back, we saw the long queue at one nasi kukus stall in Taman Equine. Wanted to know what the fuss was about (with people willing to line up in the hot sun), so we tried one packet. Just MYR5.50 with a whole thigh of ayam goreng berempah! The owner even gave us a whole packet of curry chicken legs because she wanted to close shop. The fried chicken was crispy and moist. Not too salty. Definitely a good match for the steamed rice. However, the curry was a bit watery and lacked spices. Just tasted salty. Whacked the whole packet with a hot bowl of dessert from the Mat Tou Lou dessert truck. Later that night, we had a BEC gathering in Kuchai Lama with more makan-makan and fellowship. Chatted till nearly 11:00pm with the young-at-heart aunties. Amazing right? Start till end just stuffing my pie hole. LOL.
