			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://www.hinching.com">Hin Ching</a> suggested we have lunch at Karamunsing Capitol today. There are some new restaurants there so we decided to check it out.</p>
<p>We decided to go <strong>Fatty Chef Cuisine</strong> restaurant.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4216" title="fatty chef cuisine" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/fatty-chef-cuisine.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="274" /></p>
<p>First thing that comes into my mind when I stepped into the restaurant&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;Wah, sei loh. Why so high class wan!? This place is going to be damn expensive&#8230; Okay la, die then die la, I want to enjoy this meal!&#8221;</p>
<p>The ambiance is also amazing&#8212;I immediately feel like a millionaire when I stepped in.</p>
<p>&#8220;Only yau chin lou visit these restaurant&#8221; I said to myself. Hahaha <img src='http://www.ahbing.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4215" title="fatty chef cuisine menu" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/fatty-chef-cuisine-menu.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>If I have the chance, I want to look at the chefs&#8230; are they really all fat fat one?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4214" title="fatty chef cuisine local menu" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/fatty-chef-cuisine-local-menu.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>We talked about the menu design, it was good. But we found something funny, if you go visit next time, look at the first page and last page of the menu, got gwai lou one! The images were taken from internet hahaha. Two nerds sit together, sure got funny conversation <img src='http://www.ahbing.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>&#8220;I want to order Hainan Chicken rice, don&#8217;t feel like eating oily food today&#8230; wait, RM15 for Hainan Chicken rice ah&#8230;. okay la&#8221; (hand trembles, cold sweat from head)</p>
<p><em>(<strong>Truth</strong>: spend too much on clubbing last month, this month have to cut back expenses)</em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4217" title="kelvin and Hinching" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/kelvin-and-Hinching.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="188" /></p>
<p>Kelvin joined us&#8230; he looked at menu&#8230; look back at me&#8230;</p>
<p>We both smiled <img src='http://www.ahbing.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>What to do&#8230; we have not reach <strong>that</strong> level of income yet. However, we can easily pay hundreds for alcohol, but not proper good food. Silly KK people. hahaha.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4212" title="fatty chef cuisine hainan chicken rice" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/fatty-chef-cuisine-hainan-chicken-rice.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><strong>Hainan Chicken Rice</strong> &#8211; This is what I ordered. Amazingly, the food awesome, totally out of my expectation. The chicken is juicy and chewy, and the rice is fragrant. Presentation is good. I reckon we can only get these kind of taste with great ingredient &#8211; in this case, chicken.</p>
<p>We get what we pay la I guess. I thoroughly enjoyed the dish ^^ I haven&#8217;t had such a good chicken rice for quite long time..</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4210" title="fatty chef cuisine ayam percik" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/fatty-chef-cuisine-ayam-percik.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><br />
<strong>Ayam Percik with rice</strong> &#8211; Kelvin ordered this. According to his review, he says it&#8217;s pretty good. I asked him to elaborate more, he says:</p>
<p>&#8220;The sauce is satay sauce loh&#8230; okok lo&#8230; nice ar&#8230; and everything is up to standard. But leh, the rice is small portion la. other than that, everything is good.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another satisfied customer, I assume <img src='http://www.ahbing.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4213" title="fatty chef cuisine lemon chicken" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/fatty-chef-cuisine-lemon-chicken.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><br />
<strong>Lemon Chicken rice</strong> &#8211; Hin Ching ordered this. He is satisfied with the dish as well, the only thing he complaint was the rice was a bit hard.</p>
<p>Normally, in other restaurant, they fried the chicken in whole piece, then only cut into little pieces and add lemon sauce. However, in this restaurant, they fried the chicken separately, so each pieces are 100% crunchy on the outside.</p>
<p>3 of us are very happy. Total bills comes up with RM52.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4211" title="fatty chef cuisine dessert menu" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/fatty-chef-cuisine-desset-menu.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>They have wide selection of desserts too, looks tempting! I will visit this restaurant again -specially for the desserts. <strong>Siapa nak ikut?!</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4220" title="Karamunsing Capitol Map" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/map.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="500" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>&#8220;Lin si, you want to go try out authentic Indon food ma?&#8221; Joey asked.</p>
<p>Joey is a new friend I recently met. We are lucky to meet each other through blogging, and she just recently moved to KK. Here&#8217;s Joey&#8217;s <a href="http://beautygossipologyst.blogspot.com/">blog</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Why you call me <strong>lin si</strong> oooooooooooo&#8221; I asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;Isn&#8217;t that how KK people call each other?&#8221;</p>
<p>/faint hahahhaaha.</p>
<p>BTW, Joey refers me as &#8220;&#8230;a famous blogger from Kota Kinabalu&#8221; in her blog. I am famous!! Wohoooooo! *syok chin-chin*</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4087" title="D KL restaurant" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/D-KL-restaurant-1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><br />
This how the restaurant looks like. Very nice right? I love the ambience. It was very quiet when we arrived. We even laughed at ourselves for making reservations. But it was packed around 7.30-ish. Malay family dine late, I guess.</p>
<p>If you prefer to sit on chair, you have to sit outside, without air-con room. Shoo shoo.</p>
<p>One thing I like about this restaurant is, they provide long tables to accomodate family of large members. They serve mostly Malay customers and Malays tend to have larger family members. For me, this is perfect for large gatherings &#8211; especially class gathering, but without alcohol.</p>
<p>The Husband, Kenneth (yes Joey&#8217;s married) offered to pick me up because I don&#8217;t know the exact location. It&#8217;s not a restaurant per se, more like a kediaman rumah modified into a business operating platform.</p>
<p>This is the exact location of <strong>D&#8217;KL restaurant</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4136" title="D KL map" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/D-KL-map.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="500" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4088" title="D KL restaurant" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/D-KL-restaurant-2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><br />
Drinks we ordered&#8212;<strong>Air Serai</strong> and <strong>Soda Gembira</strong>. Air Serai is lemongrass juice, very rare in KK. You must try!</p>
<p>Joey ordered Soda Gembira, which is air bandung (rose extract) mixed with evaporated milk and soda, if not mistaken lah. I am very senkalin one, I guess everything <img src='http://www.ahbing.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>And these are the foods we ordered.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4090" title="D KL restaurant" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/D-KL-restaurant-3.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><br />
<strong>Kangkung Belacan</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4091" title="D KL restaurant" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/D-KL-restaurant-4.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><br />
<strong>Ayam Bakar Taliwang</strong> &#8211; A bit charred, but I guess that&#8217;s how padang food suppose to taste like <img src='http://www.ahbing.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4092" title="D KL restaurant" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/D-KL-restaurant-5.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><br />
<strong> Ikan something something with young mango. lol.</strong></p>

<strong>Ayam Penyet</strong> &#8211; I have to mention the effort they put in their food. Look at the presentation of the dish! Each cabbage are rolled individually, amazing details!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4095" title="D KL restaurant" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/D-KL-restaurant-8.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><br />
<strong>Cumi Goreng</strong> &#8211; Guess what is cumi?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4096" title="D KL restaurant" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/D-KL-restaurant-9.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><br />
<strong>Tauhu Telur</strong> &#8211; I seen this dish at food show before, never thought KK has this dish! I love deep fried tauhu, kesyokan chin chin.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4097" title="D KL restaurant" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/D-KL-restaurant-10.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><br />
<strong>Nasi Putih Kemgembiraan Maksimum</strong> &#8211; damn cool dish name, and yes I added this myself. It&#8217;s not available in the menu haha.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4094" title="D KL restaurant" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/D-KL-restaurant-7.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><br />
Guess how much all of these cost?</p>
<p><strong>RM75</strong></p>
<p>That&#8217;s considered cheap in KK standard. Seriously. With the great ambience, great food, helpful and friendly staff, we couldn&#8217;t get anything cheaper than that.</p>
<p>On top of that, I am lucky to have companionship with Kenneth and Joey, which makes it even more perfect. What a great night <img src='http://www.ahbing.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

	<p class="wp-caption-text">Reader&#39;s comment at KK Best Food</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Haii mm haii a&#8230; so geng?!</strong></p>
<p>I met this new friend, YYY, let&#8217;s call him Yoong, I am aware of this guy&#8217;s existence he left his comments <a href="http://www.ahbing.com/top-15-best-food-at-kota-kinabalu/#comment-13716">here</a>.</p>
<p>Yoong works at Winner Hotel and he strongly recommends this restaurant to us. He invited me to go over for food review. I soon found out that the restaurant is own by his dad, ex-Sabah Chief Minister, Datuk Yong Teck Lee.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want discount!!!!&#8221; I said to him (shamelessly hehehe).</p>
<p>&#8220;Ok bah.. most importantly you come and try the food first&#8221; Yoong replied.</p>
<p>After a few exchanges of phone calls, I decided to bring a group of judges to join my adventure. If I go alone, I can only review 1-2 dishes, not good.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3812" title="Winner Hotel Kota Kinabalu" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/P1110396.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="667" /></p>
<p>Winner Hotel is situated in the center of town. It has been operating before you and I were born.. parents can use the phrase &#8220;想當年&#8221; if they describe this place.</p>
<p>If one restaurant has been operating for more than 30 years, you know the standard are above par.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3813" title="winners hotel marriage" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/winners-hotel-marriage.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="667" /></p>
<p><strong>Congratulation!</strong></p>
<p>Hahahahaha omg this is funny. I can&#8217;t stop myself from editing this photo..</p>
<p>YSLo made Amanda looks so tiny.</p>
<p>I am not taking any photo with Amanda because she makes me look huge :p</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3814" title="winner hotel" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/winner-hotel-copy.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="188" /></p>
<p>These are friends who joined me for food review. The furthest right is Yoong, the manager of the restaurant.</p>
<p>年紀輕輕，Yoong is managing the restaurant and hotel already.. and he is damn confident.</p>
<p>I have to say Yoong is a funny guy. Why? Amanda keeps looking at him, because his mole makes her smile laugh uncontrollably.</p>
<p>And of course, <a href="http://www.hinching.com">Hin Ching</a>! He is an artist <img src='http://www.ahbing.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Here are the food we ordered.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3816" title="Fried Chicken" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/P1110358.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><strong>Fried chicken 童子炸雞</strong> &#8211; Yoong says this chicken will be tastier with 油淋 method instead of 油炸 method. The latter method causes the meat to become dry.</p>
<p>Unfortunately this is the only dish we didn&#8217;t finish.. the chicken ran away before we can finish it <img src='http://www.ahbing.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3817" title="Tomato ostrich " src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/P1110360.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><strong>Ostrich meat with tomato 鴕鳥炒蕃茄</strong> &#8211; Ostrich meat is tender, and tomato is one of my favourite fruit (yes, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato">tomato is a fruit</a>). I enjoy eating this dish very much. Never thought both of these ingredients mix up so well together.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3818" title="Fried Fish" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/P1110366.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><strong>Dry Fried Fish 干煎魚片</strong> &#8211; This is the dish with a name that sounds like keropok. The dish that Yoong mentioned in my <a href="http://www.ahbing.com/top-15-best-food-at-kota-kinabalu/#comment-13716">comment</a>.</p>
<p>According to Yoong, he has no idea what fish is it, so&#8230; neither do I. Hahaha! Makan saja lah.. as long as it taste good, I don&#8217;t care what fish I am eating, or whatever meat it is.</p>
<p>This dish deserves Yoong to call this dish his personal favourite. It&#8217;s nice.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3819" title="vegetable" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/P1110370.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><strong>Green vegetable with garlic</strong> &#8211; I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s the name for this vege. So paiseh! Hahha. Luckily there&#8217;s a plate of vegetable, or else I will die as a new vegan (I turned vegetarian yesterday, really!).</p>
<p>Compare to other dishes, this vege plate is so-so only. Nothing stands out. What I am implying is&#8212;all KK food are good. That makes a delicious dish to become so-so only! (&#8230;noh!).</p>
<p>My bullshitting skillz has raised to another level.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3820" title="Nestum Prawn" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/P1110375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><strong>Nestum Fried Prawn 麥片蝦</strong> &#8211; Amanda has been mentioning this dish since 1 month ago.</p>
<p>&#8220;I grew up eating this dish, this is my favourite! I had this even before I grew my first tooth&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes!! it is THAT good!&#8221; Hahaha.</p>
<p>Nestum prawn goes well with mayonnaise.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3827" title="Nestum fried prawn" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/P1110391.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>However, I reckon it tastes better with butter..</p>
<p>Ohhhh the <strong>ULTIMATE BUTTER PRAWN</strong>.</p>
<p>Bing 1:0 Amanda <img src='http://www.ahbing.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3821" title="Winner Hotel Meal" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/P1110380.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>All of these dishes are personal recommendation by Yoong.</p>
<p>His selections are good, however, he will need to face a touch challenge&#8230;</p>
<p>I bring you&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Ahbing.com Official Judge Panel (The A-Team)</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3822" title="american idol judges" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/american-idol.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3823" title="Yong Yit Yoong" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Yoong.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>Contestant Yoong will face a tough challenge ahead.</p>
<p>I told you he was a confident guy. He can still smile despite the unfavourable looks on the judges.</p>
<p><em>Another contestant, failed miserably. The contestant is right behind Yoong&#8230;</em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3824" title="Judges and Bing" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/P1110383.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="667" /></p>
<p>I want use this opportunity to thank <strong>Yoong</strong> for his great hospitality and food. Thank you again for spending awesome lunch with us.</p>
<p>The same goes to <strong>YSLo</strong>, <strong>Amanda</strong> and <strong>Hin Ching</strong> for spending wonderful lunch time together. Let&#8217;s do this again <img src='http://www.ahbing.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<h3>1. Bak Kut Teh 肉骨茶</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3598" title="bak kut teh" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/bak-kut-teh.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3600" title="bak kut teh 1" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/bak-kut-teh-1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="188" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3601" title="bak kut teh 2" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/bak-kut-teh-2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="188" /></p>
<p>There are many Bak Kut Teh restaurants around Kota Kinabalu (KK), and I believe this is KK most famous Bak Kut Teh restaurant. Why? This year alone, I met 2 different food shows filming there, Taiwan and South Korea respectively. This restaurant could be one of Malaysia&#8217;s icon at other countries.</p>
<p>Food hosts all over the country have visited this restaurant. This restaurant is equivalent to the Char Kuey Tiao auntie at Penang (but the Bak Kut Teh boss is friendly).</p>
<h3>2. Chicken Wing  雞翅膀</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3603" title="chicken wings" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/chicken-wings.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>Chicken wing has become one of the icon food at KK these few years. It all started by a little chicken wing stall at Beverly Hills. The owner has secret recipe that makes whole KK people crazy for his wings.</p>
<p>I remember buying this wings for RM1 each during my high school period. Few years later the wings quickly became RM1.80 when the reputation and fame caught up.</p>
<h3>3. Ikan Panggang 燒魚</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3604" title="ikan bakar" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ikan-bakar.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="325" /></p>
<p>This is stingray, the same species that killed Steve Irwin, the crocodile hunter. This fish is not a human killer in nature, but once they were killed and put on a hot grill &#8212; they taste awesome! Especially with sambal and fresh lime juice, cooked on banana leaf. Yummy to the max.</p>
<h3>4. Damai Roti Kahwin 麵包</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3606" title="fu yuan combo" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/fu-yuan-combo.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3607" title="fu yuan famous teh c" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/fu-yuan-teh-c.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="311" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3608" title="fu yuan breads" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/fu-yuan-breads.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="188" /></p>
<p>What&#8217;s so special about roti kahwin? This roti, don&#8217;t play play. Got story wan.. let me tell you.</p>
<p>This bread has revolutionized the fate of shoplots at Damai. The kopitiam, call Foo Yuen (富源), makes the most awesome bread in the world that it *melts* in your mouth the moment you put it in. I am having difficulty on how to put this into proper words, you have to try it yourself.</p>
<p>This restaurant has practically changed the face of the street, many new food businesses appeared to cope with the hungry crowds, shops around closed down and converted into restaurants, attracted many stalls too. Now the street is call &#8220;Wai-sek gai&#8221;. You say &#8220;Damai roti kahwin&#8221; to any KK folks, we will say &#8220;ahhhhhh yes yes yes, you&#8217;re very smart ha! let&#8217;s go yam cha&#8221;. This kopitiam is never empty.</p>
<p>Fu Yuan also takes their Teh C Ping into a whole new level. 1/2 of the drink is evaporated milk&#8230; trust me, you&#8217;ll be in heaven.</p>
<h3>5. Guo Min noodle 國民干撈面</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3612" title="guo min soup" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/guo-min-soup.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3613" title="guo min" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/guo-min.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="188" /></p>
<p>Guo Min restaurant is famous for the chewy noodles and home-made fish cake (blue bowl), I prefer to order fresh fish slices or chicken slices. Beef tendon noodle is one of their specialty too.</p>
<p>This restaurant at Sunnygarden was visited by Ah Xian (Astro food host) recently. You can see his face on every wall, lol.</p>
<h3>6. Hilltop Fish Noodle 魚雜米粉</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3614" title="hilltop fish noodle" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/hilltop-fish-noodle.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="358" /></p>
<p>This restaurant was recommended by my relatives. It&#8217;s their favourite because the soup is more tomato based and the ingredients are most diversify. You can order fish bladder, stomach or any intestine for your interest. I don&#8217;t think they serve fish scales though. There are many fish noodles restaurants at KK, it&#8217;s difficult to list them all in this list so I decided to pick this one.</p>
<p>You can also try Hung Kei Restaurant at Damai, which is my personal favourite. And another one called Wang Wang restaurant, listed below.</p>
<h3>7. Coconut Pudding 椰香布丁</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3617" title="coconut pudding" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/coconut-pudding.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3618" title="coconut pudding 2" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/coconut-pudding-2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>This is not exactly the MUST-HAVE food in KK. Since the list is mostly noodles, I think I add a dessert into the list.</p>
<p>Coconut pudding is one of my favourite dessert since young. If you never try coconut pudding before, I urge you to try out the coconut pudding at a seafood restaurant called Xia Zhong Xia (蝦中蝦) at Hilltop.</p>
<p>Make sure you only go <span style="text-decoration: underline;">after</span> 6pm, and they only serve limited servings per day. So far, this is the best coconut pudding I&#8217;ve tasted at KK.</p>
<h3>8. Ngiu Chap (Beef Noodle) 牛雜面</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3620" title="ngiu chap" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ngiu-chap.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>Can you resist beef noodle with tasty thick broth? There are plenty of famous beef noodle around KK, and one of them is at Lintas 33 bread shop. You ask any KK fella &#8220;hey which ngiu chap best in KK?&#8221;, you might get 20 different replies.</p>
<p>How did I pick this restaurant? I close my eyes and simply pick. This restaurant damn lucky. Despite simply pick, the beef noodle standard is definitely above par! <img src='http://www.ahbing.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h3>9. Inanam Custard Bread 下南南麵包</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3622" title="inanam bread" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/inanam-bread.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3623" title="inanam custard" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/inanam-custard.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="303" /></p>
<p>My dad used to buy this custard bread for me when I was young, I say, around 10 years old maybe? He bought a dozen of these custard cake, not a normal number for afternoon tea. But rest assured, the rest of the  week I will treat my dad like a King! (he knows me weaknesses).</p>
<p>And guess what? I can finish the buns in few hours. Then my mum will scold me cause I am always too full for dinner..  and I finished it all by myself (without sharing with sister).</p>
<p>When I grew up. My dad&#8217;s friends and relatives will say &#8220;wahhh.. your son very tall and huge oh!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Of course la, you have no idea how many <em>buns</em> I fed him.&#8221; My dad replied.</p>
<h3>10. Roast Duck 燒鴨</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3625" title="Roast duck and pork" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/P1090664.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3628" title="chun gen" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/chun-gen.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="188" /></p>
<p>My dad says this restaurant serves the best roast duck noodle in KK. He announce the &#8220;greatest roast duck noodle&#8221; to everyone he knows. My dad often solves his brunch here, for many years. If I don&#8217;t trust him, who should I trust?</p>
<p>Personally, the roast duck noodle never fails to impress my taste buds. I grew up eating there, probably ate hundreds of ducks which accumulated all these years.</p>
<p>The yellow thingie (attached photo) is 春卷 (Chun-Gain in Hakka). I only came to realize (while collecting resources for this post) that Chun-Gain is Sabah specialty, you can only find this food at Sabah! No wonder I never see anyone selling this at West Malaysia.</p>
<p>What is a Chun Gain? Chun-Gain is the Chinese version of pork sausage &#8212; without the preservatives enough to mummified you. Once you start eating, you can&#8217;t stop.. <strong>very addictive</strong>.</p>
<h3>11. Sheng Rou Mian 生肉面</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3629" title="sheng rou mian" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/sheng-rou-mian.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="341" /></p>
<p>&#8220;What? Raw Meat Noodle?!&#8221; (direct translation in Chinese). Eww.</p>
<p>You may be disgusted by the name of this dish. However, for KK people, this dish name is the most heavenly dishes we&#8217;ve ever hear. This dish is created for the love of pork&#8230; no, this noodle is not served with raw pork meat. I believe the original name derives from boiling the pork in hot broth before serving &#8212; thus the soft and tender thin pork slices.</p>
<p>What makes the soup damn special? The <em>minced pork lards</em>. The dry noodle is perfect combination too. Why? You tarik the noodle once, and you quickly send down the dry noodle with soup. Wah.. kesyokan x 10000.</p>
<p>Sometimes I wonder, do they mix the noodle with pork oil too..? I rather don&#8217;t want to know the answer. I rather die young than quit eating this dish.</p>
<p>Best place to eat this dish: <strong>Lintas</strong> (a few similar shops around)</p>
<h3>12. Wan Wan Fish Noodle 旺旺餐廳</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3631" title="wang wang fish noodle" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/wang-wang-combo.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="344" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3632" title="wang wang Tom yam and normal soup" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/wang-wang.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="188" /></p>
<p>This is another KK most famous restaurant &#8212; Wang Wang restaurant. This is one of my favourite restaurant I mentioned earlier above the post. Wang Wang restaurant serves the most expensive fish noodle at KK (based on my experience). However, they have a valid reason for charging premium price &#8212; they serve quality and high standard fish, and damn delicious one. You&#8217;ll happy to pay the premium price after your meal &#8212; trust me.</p>
<p>The noodle itself is a dish of its own. As you can see from the photo above, the noodle contains fried shallots, green onions and mince chicken. Qualify as a complete dish. The soup base &#8212; you have two main soup base to choose from, tom yam or normal one. Both taste absolutely awesome. I didn&#8217;t say that because I am promoting KK food, it&#8217;s true &#8211; you have to taste it to believe.</p>
<p>This restaurant is also one of the favourite spot for food shows. Even one scene from TVB seriese <strong>Born Rich</strong> was filmed here. You can see 3 Hong Kong actors <em>tarik</em> noodle into mouth while filming ^^;</p>
<h3>13. Tuaran Noodle 斗亞蘭面</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3635" title="Tuaran Noodle" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Tuaran-Noodle.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>Tuaran noodle is a local delicacy. I can guarantee you that this noodle cannot be found anywhere on Earth but <strong>here</strong>. I can be honest with you, this is a simple dish. Yet, this noodle has <em>that</em> special taste that keeps you looking for more.</p>
<p>Long ago, this dish only can be found at further district call Tuaran (hence, the name of the noodle). However it&#8217;s too troublesome to drive 20km from central business district to eat this noodle. Eventually a few restaurant offer this dish around KK area.</p>
<p>This dish might replace Char Kuey Tiao in 10 years time. You&#8217;ll never know.</p>
<h3>14. Tanjung Aru Zu Chap 豬雜面</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3637" title="tg aru zuchap" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/tg-aru-zuchap.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>It takes me 3 weeks to finally have the chance to eat this dish.</p>
<p>This old kopitiam only serves during the morning, and the noodles are usually sold out before noon. Why is this restaurant so damn famous, for many generations? (The restaurant is very very old)</p>
<p>One word: <strong>DELICIOUS</strong></p>
<p>For your information, they serve only one dish, and that&#8217;s pork intestines with noodles. They have perfected the recipe, and the recipe has been passed down for two generations (or three?)</p>
<p>The routine is a bit different when you go to this restaurant.</p>
<p>&#8220;How many people?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;3&#8243;</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Which part</em> do you want?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;&#8230;[insert pork intestine name]&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;OK&#8221;</p>
<p>======</p>
<p><strong>Tips</strong>: or you can say &#8220;cham-cham&#8221;, which means MIX everything and all hell breaks lose <img src='http://www.ahbing.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Oh, did you know why it takes me 3 weeks to finally eat this dish?</p>
<p><strong>Answer</strong>: They already sold out by the time I wake up at 10am ^^;</p>
<h3>15. Pan Fried Dumplings 鍋貼</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3638" title="Kolombong guo tie" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Kolombong-guo-tie.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>

<p><strong>OH. MY. GOD.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;This is only a pan-fried dumpling&#8221; anonymous says.</p>
<p>&#8220;NO, this is GUO TIE, the ultimate <em>bestest-best-best-best</em> food you can find at KK&#8221; I reply arrogantly.</p>
<p>&#8220;Have you ever try eating a dumpling that meat juice <strong>burst  out</strong> every time you bite?&#8221; I added. &#8220;You will repeat the first sentence&#8230;&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Frogs. Lovely little creatures&#8230; they <em>bwak bwak bwak</em> after the rain. So cute! I still remember catching tadpoles in padang with my cousin after heavy rain. Tear them apart and eat them alive.</p>
<p>Nolaa&#8230; you sot-sot meh, eat them <em>alive</em> wah. You thought all frogs can eat wan ar? Hahahha.</p>
<p>Jokes aside, did you know you can actually eat certain types of frogs? They taste like chicken you know. In Chinese, it is also known as 田雞 (tián ji). This frog cuisine is mainly consumed in Southeast Asia region only. You try invite Americans to eat frog.. they probably point a gun at you.</p>
<p>I went to Singapore to consume their infamous frog porridge, exactly one month ago.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3328" title="Frog porridge banner" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090109.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="184" /></p>
<p>Shannon says this is probably one of the famous frog porridge around China Town. We were there for supper!</p>
<p>(Off topic: he also told me the owner of this shop recently past away, and his coffin was placed in the middle of the shop. Yaiks o.O He might be watching us from the corner while we were devouring his famous porridge)</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3330" title="frog porridge" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090112.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="231" /></p>
<p>The frog porridge is served in a claypot. Boiling hot. This ensures the frog is dead.</p>
<p>Nola just kidding &#8211; they don&#8217;t throw the whole live frog in it. That&#8217;s too cruel. But they skin the frog alive, that part is true.</p>
<p>Eww! &lt; Delicious!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3331" title="century egg porridge" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090113.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="281" /></p>
<p>Shannon prefers a lighter meal, he ordered century egg porridge instead. Good stuff also la. Maybe they put few scoops of Ajinomoto in each bowl that makes it so delicious.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3332" title="chinese sashimi" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090115.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="281" /></p>
<p>This is Chinese version of Sashimi. No kidding. Many friends don&#8217;t believe when I told them about Chinese serving their own version of sashimi =__= Why? only Japanese can serve sashimi meh? Ah wait, even the word &#8220;Sashimi&#8221; is Japanese.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3333" title="the frog" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090124.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="281" /></p>
<p>Behold! The famous frog!</p>
<p>No kidding, the frog really tastes like chicken. It has similar bones, meat textures, looks the same and even taste like it!. I had friend once told me that he finish the whole bowl frog porridge, mistakenly thought was chicken porridge.</p>
<p>&#8220;No wonder the meat is a bit chewy&#8230;.. damnn&#8230;&#8221; he told me in horror. Hahaha, stupid guy.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3335" title="mess" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090129.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="279" /></p>
<p>Yum yum.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3334" title="frog tulang" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090127.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="261" /></p>
<p>The aftermath.</p>
<p>Based on the skeleton count, I think they only put half frog in one serving of porridge. I only came aware of this while writing this post <img src='http://www.ahbing.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Next time I should try order like this:</p>
<p>&#8220;Ehhh 老闆娘, gimme a bowl of frog porridge, <strong>whole frog</strong> ah! don&#8217;t cut into small pieces please. Only remove skin and guts will do.  謝謝你&#8221;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3329" title="receipt" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090110.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="281" /></p>
<p>While I was writing this post, my mum asks &#8220;Eh what&#8217;s that on your screen?&#8221; I showed her all the food photos and she saw the bill..</p>
<p>&#8220;Ha?? Why $15.30 ONLY?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That is standard food price.. for some, this is considered expensive liao ok&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But still cheap wo.. you ate frog..&#8221;</p>
<p>You see, that reflects the standard food price at KK is extremely inflated.</p>
<p>One bowl of noodle and a beverage easily cost you RM8-RM10.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p class="alert"><strong>Please do not read this post after midnight, you&#8217;ve been warned</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2932" title="Shokudo logo" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090041.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="194" /></p>
<p><strong>Shokudo</strong> is a famous Japanese food court at Singapore. And this is your answer.</p>
<p>No &#8211; I didn&#8217;t mention it was free. You have to pay cash AFTER you&#8217;re satisfied with you meal. No such thing as free meal okkkkkkkkkk.</p>
<p>At first, I was reluctant to go because I&#8217;ve exceeded my travel budget but yet I still I had to go because of peer pressure.</p>
<p>&#8220;If this is your first time here &#8211; YOU MUST GO&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Har&#8230; expensive wo. I eat Fishball noodle is enough&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;GO!&#8221; /emphasize</p>
<p>T_T &#8220;ok&#8221;</p>
<p>Ah well. I guess I can take fucking lots of photos to maximize the value ^^;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2934" title="Shokudo Entrance" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090035.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="281" /></p>
<p>What is so special about Shokudo?</p>
<p>Shokudo is a huge food court, serves only Japanese food.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2935" title="Shokodu Card" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090042.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="232" /></p>
<p>Whenever you order a food, you need to pass this card to them. They swipe the card and automatically charge the amount into your bill. Works exactly like my dad&#8217;s credit card.</p>
<p>You need to pay the total amount whenever you exit the premises.</p>
<p>Do not misplaced the card oh.. they charge you <em>gao-gao</em>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2936" title="Shokudo Ambience" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090045.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="244" /></p>
<p>This is the entrance, and this photo only covers 1/5 of the total area.</p>
<p>Probably took me 10 minutes to stroll around and decides what I&#8217;m going to eat, while resisting myself from <em>gosok-ing</em> the card too vigorously.</p>
<p>Do not be surprise to see the slightly higher margin of food price. You dine in an excellent atmosphere &#8211; and you need to pay few dollars extra for that.</p>
<p>Here are some photos.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2937" title="shokudo food and stalls" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/shokudo-1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2938" title="shokudo food and stall " src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/sholudo-2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2939" title="shokudo food and stalls" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/shokudo-3.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>The green tea milk is <em>nais</em>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2940" title="Mixed Mushrooms" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090077.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="244" /></p>
<p><strong>Goreng Mushroom</strong> &#8211; OHHHHHH this mushroom tastes better than my mum&#8217;s cooking! Must be a lot of ajinomoto! Ajinomoto is from Japan right? based on the spelling&#8230;</p>
<p>During high school, there&#8217;s one Japanese girl who came to our class as student exchange. I stand up and introduce myself as Ajinomoto-san.</p>
<p>I was 18, and I was stupid.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2941" title="Eel Rice Omelette" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090087.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="302" /></p>
<p><strong>Eel Omelette with Fried Rice</strong> &#8211; This dish is okay okay only.  The fried rice probably contains only 3 grams of eel meat, and 2 buckets of rice fried with soy sauce. Then wrap it around with egg and sprinkle with seaweeds and KEWPIE MAYONNAISE.</p>
<p>I give this dish 100% because of the mayonnaise. Anything becomes so tasty after adding kewpie mayonnaise.</p>
<p>Well done, Shokudo. You&#8217;ve successfully captured my heart.</p>
<p>I can even eat paper with it.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2942" title="Japanese Pizza" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090099.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><strong>Japanese Pizza</strong> &#8211; I don&#8217;t have slightest clue why they call this a Japanese pizza, the ingredient is 90% similar to Italians.</p>
<p>Funny thing is, when we go get the food, the guy ask us &#8220;you want to add dancing fish on it?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;yes yes yes&#8221; said my friend.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2943" title="Katsudon" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090100.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><strong>Fried Chicken Donnn</strong> &#8211; After going through so many food stalls and endless choices. I settle down with the most basic and satisfying dish (and happens to be cheapest one! yahooo! me being the cheapskate). Fried chicken on top of rice FTW!!</p>
<p>The fried chicken got raw egg on top some more&#8230; nice. The fried chicken is crunchy too&#8230; nice x 2.</p>
<p>Last thing. The Japanese Hiragana in first photo is Shokudo<strong>u,</strong> instead of Shokudo. Did they misspell it? Or purposely left one &#8220;u&#8221; for better spelling.</p>
<p><strong>SHOKUDOUUUUUUU</strong> sounds much better leh. Imagine Bob Marley pronounce it in a lazy and sleezy way (or when he is on herb medication). Hehe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2908" title="Brotzeit" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/IMG_0801.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="133" /></p>
<p><strong>Brotzeit</strong> is becoming one of my favourite to go places at Singapore.</p>
<p>Well, any places with nice beer is my favourite place. Any place with draft beers is my home <img src='http://www.ahbing.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2909" title="Pork Knuckle" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/IMG_0773.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><strong>German Pork Knuckle</strong> &#8211; the legendary pork knuckle Shannon has been telling to me about. <strong>S$32</strong> for this kaki babi. Anyone knows the cost for pork knuckle at Malaysia? Just wondering.</p>
<p>To my surprise, this pork knuckle was deep fried, different from the stewed pork knuckle I had at Adelaide&#8217;s German village. The skin is like <em>siu yok</em>, crunchy crunchy one. Side dishes include salad potato, pickles and more pickles.. and MORE PICKLES.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2910" title="1 liter mug" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/IMG_0771.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="667" /></p>
<p>I had 2 pickles and small slice of pork knuckle only.. the beer had all my attention. Hahaha.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2911" title="OceanCohen and Vui San" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/haiyang.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="334" /></p>
<p>My high school friends! Hai Yang (<a href="http://twitter.com/oceancohen">@OceanCohen</a>) and Vui San.</p>

<p>Priscilla and Irene. I am selling their phone numbers for $10 each. If you want me to convey message to them, $1 for each sms (max 160 characters). Both ladies are very famous now &#8211; got career, certificate, angelic face and devilish look. (Promote gao gao so I get lots of business!!)</p>
<p>Mind you, you will face a stiff competition. The ladies are in their prime era now. I am definitely not in this market &#8211; too stress.</p>

<p>We went to the garden above Vivo City to have a stroll. Meet up with more high school friends..</p>
<p>Based on our calculation, we have around 30+ high school friends working/residing at Singapore, and that haven&#8217;t include our seniors and juniors ^^;</p>
<p>If they offer me to stay at their place for one week each, I would save $3,000 in rent&#8230; whoa. (continue counting&#8230;)</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2915" title="Lip San, Vui San and Priscilla" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/IMG_0818.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="253" /></p>

	<img class="size-full wp-image-3063 " title="Botak Jones" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/IMG_0940_2.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="184" />
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Mr. Jones</p>
</div>
<p>Mr. Jones is an American who purposely fly to Singapore to eat KFC. Jones was so disappointed with the quality of food. He arranged a a press conference, and he said:</p>
<p>&#8220;Walau-eh.. why KFC here taste like shit? Cibai, I can cook better than this!&#8221;</p>
<p>He fork out his ham ka fortune to open a small burger stall. At first, his burger business was not performing well because lack of reputation.</p>
<p>Days went by. He became stress.</p>
<p>When he realised, he is already BOTAK due to the enormous pressure of not selling any burger for months.</p>
<p>One day, while Jones was flipping burger, one 臭 Ah Beng customer came.</p>
<p>&#8220;Botak Jones, gimme one burger leh. I am sibeh hungry, quick!&#8221;. Since that day, more and more customers call him Botak Jones. He changed his business to BotakJones, and boom! His business grow rapidly. Now he own few branches around Singapore.</p>
<p>Walau-eh. This is such a lame story. But I enjoy writing it.. hahahaha. I made up the story so please don&#8217;t sue me.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2921" title="Botak Jones" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1080988.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="170" /></p>
<p>Shannon says &#8220;Have you tried Botak Jones yet? They serve huge burger patties. I cannot finish the burger sometimes. Let&#8217;s get our dinner there&#8221;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2922" title="Botak Jones menu" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1080984.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="262" /></p>
<p>I am tempted to try U-CRAZY-WHAT?! burger, unfortunately I stopped devouring beef two years ago. If not, I will order the <em>whole cow</em> instead of patties.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2923" title="Cold Tiger Beer" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1080993.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>$5 for a bottle of cold beer, it&#8217;s too hard to resist.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2924" title="Double Patty" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1080996.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><strong>The Double Botak</strong> &#8211; Shannon ordered this. The meal comes with side dishes of your choice. He chose fries and coleslaw. On top of that, you have free flow of mustard, ketchup and chili sauce.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2925" title="Double Patty" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1080998.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>135 grams per piece of patty. 270 grams for both&#8230; weigh like a huge piece of steak. Plus side dishes and beer &#8211; Ah, ngam ngam hou. There&#8217;s nothing to be afraid of when end of the world is near. I die like a happy ghost.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2926" title="Cajun Chicken Burger" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090002.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><strong>Cajun Chicken Burger</strong> &#8211; Whole piece of chicken breast marinated with Cajun and melted with mozzarella cheese. Aih.. read the menu description also cannot tahan already. Must order this.</p>
<p>The chicken must be on steroid. Only one side of its breast is huge enough to slap the customer beside you.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2927" title="Ultimate Weigh Gaining Meal" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090012.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="667" /></p>
<p>I ordered mash potatoes and steamed vegetables for my side dish.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t you think this photo is damn perfect? 完美無暇, baby.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2928" title="Shannon" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090014.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>Shannon drizzles all the sauce on his fries. And he separated the twin patties from the burger because it&#8217;s too huge.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2929" title="Ahbing" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P1090015.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="545" /></p>
<p>I told Shannon that I need to do cardio exercise for 3 days non-stop to burn off these fats.</p>
<p>Worth it.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> Locations of Botak Jones (scattered around Singapore)</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3065" title="botak jones location" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/botak-jones-location.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="351" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>One weekday, I was craving for sugary food. Haven&#8217;t had such cravings since I was kid.</p>
<p>I korek everyone on my contact list, hoping to find someone to company me to eat dessert. I do not mind going alone, but that feels weird, right?</p>
<p>Contacted a few friends, most of them says &#8220;haa&#8230; why you so last minute one oo.. don&#8217;t want la&#8230; next time la k&#8221;</p>
<p>Out of soooooooo many invitations &#8211; one actually said &#8220;Ok, let&#8217;s go. I am craving for dessert also&#8221;. I was surprised because she didn&#8217;t ask any question.</p>
<p>She&#8217;s <strong>Elim</strong>, Khai&#8217;s beloved girlfriend. They&#8217;ve been together for 7 years. If I had a son, he&#8217;s already in primary one. What a long relationship. They share a blog <a href="http://www.ekhai.com">here</a>.</p>
<p>We both own the same camera &#8211; <a href="http://www.ahbing.com/index.php/panasonic-lumix-lx3-review-and-sample-photos/">Panasonic Lumix LX3</a>. I asked her to bring camera along. Perfect opportunity to learn from each other.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2655" title="Chocolate Gooey Pudding" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/P1080169.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><strong>Chocolate Gooey Pudding </strong>- I ordered this. The pudding was cold outside, warm inside. Chocolate satisfaction 100%. I wish the portion is larger though&#8230; I want to <em>hisap </em>the warm gooey sexy chocolate with a straw..</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2656" title="bruschetta Bella Italia" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/P1080172.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><strong>Bruschetta with Olive </strong>- I make better bruschetta than this. Skip this dish at all cost.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2657" title="Orange Pancake Crepe" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/P1080174.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="667" /></p>
<p><strong>Orange Pancake Crepé </strong>- Elim ordered this. The sauce is a bit sour, I guess it&#8217;s because of original orange juice. The crepé tastes&#8230; well, like a crepé hehehhe.</p>
<p>I am a lousy food reviewer, don&#8217;t shoot me.</p>
<p>Anyway. I am going to explore more dessert restaurants at KK when I return from Singapore. <strong>Siapa nak ikut? </strong>Let me know. I will go on week days, usually after dinner. Give me your contact details and I shall ring you when I feel like eating.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2825" title="Bella Italia Address" src="http://www.ahbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/address.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="288" /></p>
<p><strong>Bella Italia Pizzeria Ristorante Cafe</strong><br />
Address:<br />
69 Jalan Gaya, 88000 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah</p>
<h3>A story to share</h3>
<p>My best memory with ice-cream happened when I was 7.</p>
<p>My dad return home with two ice-cream cones on his both hands, one for me and one for my sister. The excitement stays in my mind until today, felt like it just happened yesterday.</p>
<p>Definitely one of the memories that can make me 傻傻的 smile <img src='http://www.ahbing.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s your best memories related to ice-cream?</strong></p>
