Throwback visit! 

Recently with new operation hours: 8am to 6pm daily

Came back to try their other menu. And this time I snapped menu liaw 🤗

Portuguese tart - Tasty! Eat warm for the best texture but kan even I tapau the skin is still flaky, nice 👍🏻👍🏻

Yam Chiffon Cake - Surprisingly good. And the yam layer is totally my thing. 淡淡的芋香, right amount of sweetness. 

Nasi lemak ayam berempah - Highly recommended! I really like the fluffy aromatic rice cooked with Santana. And the texture of the Ayam berempah is superb! Really crispy skin 🥹

Sarawak laksa fried meehun - Very special. Enough taste for most of the people but probably I minum the kaw kaw Cham Pheng baru makan the meehun kan, it kinda killed the taste 🫢 my fault. I would want to reorder this dish with other beverage next time. Fresh ingredients! 

Missing their Portuguese tart already while typing this review 🥲

Portuguese Egg Tart 👍🏻👍🏻

📍三只鱼茶室 Tiga Ikan Kopitiam located at Bundusan Commercial Centre (Opposite Sidma College). The signboard with 3 fishes drawing is cute, minimalist style. 

My first visit here. Very FRESH ingredients, portion of the liao is good 👍🏻

Tried their: 

Tomato Soup Base - very pure tomato taste, sweetness from the fresh tomato itself, not canned tomato + the umami from the fish. I’m sure my mum gonna like it, 清甜 but I personally prefer the saltiness can be increase sliiightly. 

Watanho - Excellent! I love the thin kuey teow, nicely stir fried, with breath of wok 😋👍🏻 light tomatoey taste. I checked with the owner it’s not tomato gravy but they do add some tomato into it, sandakan style. Nice big prawns. I will definitely come back again for this dish. 

Curry Tomyam Soup base - It’s a very unique kind of taste, it’s like when it reach ur mouth ur brain tells u hey it’s curry laksa oh wait tomyam and eh eh wait curry!?@&£%*%] kind of feel if u know what I mean 😂 not basic can give a try, thick soup, reminds me of sweet type of tomyam + curry soup.

Konlau Mee - A bit too dry for my liking if it’s to eat it alone. Need some oomph on the scallion oil. 

Curry Fish Head - very Yums! Must order guysss! Can finish 3 bowls nasi punya curry 😅 will want to come back to try the other 2 types of signature cooking again. 

Been here before?

鬍鬚佬茶餐食 Kedai Kopi Janggut. One of my favourite spots to have fish noodle. Basically it’s their Tomyam soup and the blended chili I like 🤭

However the quality of the Tomyam soup could be up and down - 2 out of 10 times might be watery / not khaw enough. 

Their fish sauce meehun is also recommended. Nice fish sauce smell. 

And I usually will order deep fried fish roe as my side dish if it’s available. 

The soursoup juice is nice too. But remember to ask them not to put ice 🤭 or just put 1-2 ice cube will be good - otherwise it’s like full glass of ice cubes with few sips of juices only 😬

Tomyam YYDS

Haven’t been here for quite sometimes already. It’s one of my favourite spots for affordable Japanese food. Love that thick cut of sashimi fuyuuuh! Puas hati! 😋❤️

Also I wanna bagitau bah. Their set lunch is so so worth it! Thick cut of unagi and tamago over hot Japanese rice is soooo goood! And the assorted sushi is also from the set meal RM19.90. Both served with miso soup. Really satisfying  coz the ingredients are very very fresh 👍🏻👍🏻 

Not so crowded during lunch. Nice and relax to have my meal and do my work here. 

Operation hours: 11am to 3pm, 6pm to 10pm

After 3pm, lepak at the beer drinking place outside to continue happy hours 🫢

Sashimi sashimi niceeee! Affordable Japanese Cuisine

📍Metro Outlets Lintas located opposite to Lintas View Hotel, next to Arriva. 

By the outlook I thought it was some sort of frozen seafood supply shops, never thought of stepping foot in it but I was so wrong 🫢 They have superb fish and chips!! 

I ordered “Catch of the Day” - they r using Senangin (blue thread salmon) today. Lovelyyyy! The batter was really really good, very bri’ish I had the urge to have a cup of tea! 🤣 teda la but it was really noiiice 😋

There isn’t much (or none 😅) restaurant in kk can do such a fantastic thin crispy batter, I think this is one of the very few ones I approved.

Ordered also crispy fish wonton (the fish filling was very soft), not wow but not bad also, can try. Kopi Indonesia got kick also, forgot to ask them not to put sugar but it wasn’t that sweet also la. 

Will definitely want to go back to try their burgers. 

I saw sashimi on the menu but the lady told me it’s not available already, they r not selling frozen stuffs anymore uhuh too bad. 

Operation hours: 10am to 2pm, 4:30pm to 8:30pm (close on chewsday)

Superb Fish & Chips!

📍Butter & Batter is still my favourite spot satisfy my crave on premium pastry. They also do good coffee and matcha. 

Other than cornet, their cromboloni is my top pick. Now with more flavours now 😋😋 Chocolate banana was my top pick, but this (new?) pistachio is also a boooom 🥹🥹

If u want something savoury, their lamb/ beef pie is also recommended 👍🏻

My favourite premium pastry spot in KK

This is my probably 5th or 6th time of returning to their place since 14/4. I’m sooo in love with their pork burger 👍🏻Juicyyy, thicccck and flavourful!

Syok to chill here during day time (not much crowd). Down side is - limited tables at the air-conditioned area. 

New dishes on the menu - crispy pork belly skin, worth giving a try! 👍🏻
