Lai Foong Beef Noodle @ Cheras, KL

 
Lai Foong Restaurant has 54 years histories since 1956. The HQ is one of the stall in Lai Foong Restaurant situated in Jalan Tun HS Lee, Kuala Lumpur, which I have been visited many times since few years ago. Recently, Lai Foong has another branch at Taman Taynton View in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.
I like its beef noodles very much, especially it’s soup, as it is tasty with original taste and concentrated. It has mixture of more than ten kinds of medicine herbs, plus its secret recipe, and boiled with the ox bone, make it irresistible and must try, especially those who like to eat beef.


This Cheras branch is very clean, tidy and the restaurant gain grade A from the DBKL for its cleanliness.


Lean Meat with Beef Ball Meehon – RM 5.00

Lean Meat Ball and Beef Ball Lai Fun, served in soup – RM 5.00


Lean Meat and Beef Ball Lai Fun, served in dry  -- RM 5.20
The meat is a bit raw and soft, beef ball is springy and it has original beef flavour. This is my favourite, where I prefer to serve in Meehon.



Leaf Tripe and Beef Ball Lai Fun in Soup – RM 5.00

The leaf tripe was in slices, but had cut it too thin, so didn’t really know how the taste the leaf tripe was.




Fried Keow Teow – RM 4.00
Tasty, even if you just smell, is already irresistible to try it.

X.O. Teh, which also known as three layers teh, as you can see there were three different colours that form into three layers.

There are variety of choices of beef part: Beef ball, lean meat, tripe, beef lam, beef tendon, leaf tripe and mix. Additional on these, some parts from the beef that we normally never try before: Beef tongue, beef intestine, and bull penis. Even noodles, there are 4 types to be choose: Lai Fun, Keow Teow, Mee, and Meehon. You may choose to served in soup, dry, with rice, or without noodles.
Based on my experiences on the HQ and Cheras branch, there seems a bit different in the taste of soup, where the HQ restaurant’s beef soup is thicker in flavour and colours, which I prefer more. However, Lai Foong beef noodle is still one of the best beef noodle that I have ever try.

Restoran Chin Hiong @ Rawang, Selangor

Restoran Chin Hiong located just besides the road, between the Petronas and Caltex petrol station, and it has some distance from the center of Rawang town. There were just few customers on that day we visited, so we didn’t need to wait long after made the orders. 
 

招牌蒸鱼（木耳金针蒸）Steam Fish --  RM 20
It is the restaurant's signature dish, steam fish with  lily and Jew’s ear fungus, plus some wolfberries and smell of wine. I kind of like this fish, as it seem can nourish our skin and good for our health.

螃蟹扒豆腐   Crab meat with tofu  -- RM 12
Tofu is smooth tender and some crab meats which is my favourite.

蒙古排骨 Mongolian Pork Ribs  --  RM 20
Personally do not like the taste of the sauce, moderate rating.

Firstly, when this dish is served, we smell something like urine, thought there was some bamboo shoot in the dish, but nothing like bamboo shoot found. After complain to the cook, they serve us another plate again. This was fresh and sweet, tasty without the smell of urine.

Having Cool @ Snow Ice

 
If you feel hot and would like to have something cold, try Snow Ice in the 100¥en Shop, where it sell Japanese foods and some groceries.

There are few flavours: Lychee, Coffee, Mango, Peanut, Green Tea, Strawberry, and Milk. For this time, I had try for the Lychee and Peanut flavours.
 
Lychee Ice
It taste smooth and in every bit you can also have the taste of the Lychee.

Peanut flavour
I really like this flavour. Plenty of crunchy peanuts with some chocolate on top, you can’t stop eating it.

Closer look into the ice, you can see the ice was shaved into slices.

Every cup of snow ice for just RM 4.90, for extra RM 1.00, you can have additional fruits on it. For girls, you don’t need to worry your weighing scale, as this Snow Ice is non fattening but healthy and tasty. Now, everyone can enjoy the delicious of ice.

Nasi Lemak @ NagaLiar, Miri

NagaLiar located at Jalan Merpati, opposite Imperial Hotel, famous with its nasi lemak.
 
NagaLiar is using self service practice, where customers need to order and pay at the counter and it’s business hour is from 7:45 am to 3:30 pm

Bubur kacang hijau RM 1.80
 
Quite tasty, but I heard that its Bubur ChaCha is much better, too bad it was unavailable on the day I visited.

Nasi Rendang Kambing RM 5.30
 
What have we here, of course, rendang, fried egg, some sour vege, plus salted fish. What I disappointed was, I thought I will be given some “Papadam” biscuit as picture shown in the menu board, instead of fried egg.

Nasi Lemak Regular RM 3.80
A normal nasi lemak, plus a salted fish, fried egg and chicken wing. Same as Nasi Rendang Kambing, the rice has santan smell, but not strong.

Heard friend said NagaLiar nasi lemak is super yummy, but as far as I experience, it is just normal nasi lemak, maybe is because I had try nasi lemak that is much more yummy than NagaLiar in Kuala Lumpur.
 

FRATINI’S RESTAURANT @ Miri, Sarawak

Fratini’s Restaurant is located in Boulevard commercial centre, is an Italian Restaurant in Miri.





A nice and romantic atmosphere in the restaurant, just that the seat that we were sitting is a bit dirty on the day we visited.

They provide cheese powder on the table, which is my favourite. Too bad, I was not ordering pizza or spaghetti on that day.



Large cup of drinks, of course, with the higher price paid.

CREMA DI FUNGHI   RM 15

Cream of mushroom topped with cream and croutons. A good starter, tasty soup served with a slice of bread. I like this soup but is a bit too much for me, but is perfect for two to share.

FILETTO DI MANZO   RM 55

Grilled beef tenderloin served with anchovies and garlic jus, mashed potato and grilled vegetables.

RISOTTO AL NERO DI SEPPIA    RM 37

This is Italian rice braised in a black ink squid stew, topped with crispy tiger prawn. As there is no squid on that day, so they have changed it to mushrooms. Moderate rating, as I feel the taste is weird, I guess is because of the mushroom not suite with the tiger prawn and rice.

Overall, the foods are acceptable, and there is only few Italian restaurant in Miri, so Fratini’s Restaurant will be one of the good choice for those who like to have Italian foods.
