Thunder rice @ Malaysia

Have always been a fan of the Hakka thunder rice. Somehow it makes me feel healthier (although there's a lot of carbs in it). This was what I ordered at one of the hawker centres in Malaysia, Johor Bahru, Nusajaya. the ingredients looked pretty similar to what we have in Singapore. The soup wasn't as strong tasting, which was pretty palatable to me. 

Definitely will be back again for more.

Chuan Jiang Hao Zi Steamboat (West Coast Plaza)

I bought one of those groupon deals for a steamboat buffet at Chuan Jiang Hao Zi. I stay pretty close to West Coast Plaza and have always enjoyed a good steamboat but I never had the chance to try this place out because I thought their standard steamboat buffet pricing was pretty pricey. 

The food turned out to be pretty alright and they didn't have the peanut / sesame sauce that I like at other steamboat joints. Nonetheless I'm not complaining as the serving size was generous. Unfortunately what was not too nice about the place was that I discovered mini cockroaches running across the table top. 

I'm not toooooo picky about insects around the table as long as they do not end up in my food. Then again, who's to say that in the food prep process, that didn't happen. :x

Vegs look fresh

Nice looking table top sans the mini cockroaches

We liked the fish!

Mushrooms and bean stuff :P

Mount Faber Jewel Box

Went to Mount Faber's Jewel Box for a walk and a lunch. Went to the Sapphire level and ordered a salad and dessert. The fruit salad was alright, but the apple crumble dessert was an absolute delight. Warm, baked crumble, topped with a vanilla icecream. Ohh, heavenly goodness. When you dig into the crumble, you can see baked berries. Too good. Will definitely be back!

(And wow, the iPhone takes fantastic food pictures!)
