We had: Salad & pasta. Very Italiano today.
Where: Dave’s Bistro Bar & Grill
1 Utama Shopping Centre (G209)
Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
Non-Halal restaurant.
Dave’s menu.
Caesar Salad. Must eat your vegetables, you know…
Extra virgin olive oil fettucine with bacon & mushroom.
Creamy sauce mix seafood penne carbonara. Only 3 prawns tho, but this dish is so… so… YUMMY!!! I am so coming back here to order this carbonara again…
We bought: Groupon voucher for dim sum brunch buffet at RM 35 /pax.
We got: Up to 2 rounds of premium dim sum items and unlimited rounds of normal dim sum items. Free flow of chinese tea (we got 2 types of tea too).
We say: Good selection of dim sum and nice ambience. Value for money with the Groupon deal.

The restaurant.
Serves dim sum!
Choosing what to order…
First item to arrive: fried carrot cake…
followed by cheong fun (prawn, mushroom & chicken filling)…
and pau.
All the items we ordered for our first round. Mostly steamed stuff.
The egg tarts are really cute. And not too sweet.
Japanese cucumber in Thai sauce. Never saw cucumber on any dim sum menu before (& Japanese cucumber at that!).
And Thai-style chicken feet.
All the fried stuff that we ordered for the second round.
Porridge with shredded chicken and century egg. W said the yellow toppings looked like cornflakes! I thought they were pappadums! It’s actually fried wanton skins.
Third round, the stuff we didn’t already order earlier.
Fourth round…
The dessert round: chilled cakes…
and sago nata de coco.
Thanks to SC for the photo! We look so retro!
Say cheeeeeeze!
Tea time today for some of us.
We had: Cold brew coffee & Pink Stacks cake (white chocolate with rose).
Where: Whisk Outpost
1 Utama Shopping Centre (G139)
Petaling Jaya, Selangor
Cake & coffee. Perfect for afternoon tea.
Cold brew coffee, sold by the bottle. RM 19 for 480ml. Not sweetened and mixed with milk.
Coffee distribution.
Pink stacks is moist, and not too sweet or heavy. In short, super yums.
Cheers!
Pink stacks is so pretty…
…it took forever to eat it all.
Documenting the cake for this blog!
Look who joined us for tea too!
Some of us met up to have roast duck and char siu at De’Champion Duck, Kepong for brunch today.
Oh, and we have a new member to the club too… put your hands together and welcome K, aka Barkley.
Here we are!!
We had: 1 roast duck, char siu, spicy soup.
6 ladies polished off 1 whole roast duck today. Not a bad accomplishment at all.
Today’s eat.
And drinks. 5 sa le shuin mui (ambra with sour plum) & 1 white coffee.
Then it was off to KTZ Kepong for dessert. This is the original KTZ outlet, according to SW. The rest of the KTZ outlets around town are merely branches.
So off we headed, since its located within the vicinity of De’Champion Duck (about 5 minutes drive away).
Where: K.T.Z Dessert (记得食~西米捞),
66 Jalan Kepong Baru
Kepong, Kuala Lumpur
There is nothing fancy about the place, it’s just a zinc-roofed shack by the roadside with a tree growing right in the middle. But they do pretty good dessert here.
Honey dew hot dessert.
Peanut butter hot dessert.
Red bean loh.
Kiwi loh.
Mango loh.
Seafood roll.
Everything finished!
This is being posted because the food was so good, the Club should know about it. And perhaps make an outing to eat roast duck rice together.
Update: We are going for this! Again! Can’t wait!!!
We had: 1 roast duck. Char siu. Spicy soup. Sang choi. Duck feet (eeps).
Where: Restoran De’ Champion Duck
No.10, Jalan 3/62D (Medan Putra Business Centre)
Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan
The place.
Look at all that char siu (Chinese-style roasted pork) *droools*…
Huge blowup of an article written about them in The Star newspaper.
The menu. Roast goose is RM 188 per bird, btw. Roast piglet is also RM 188 per baby pig. Just in case anyone was wondering.
The rice is yummy. It appears to have been steeped in essence de duck and that’s what makes it yummy.
And very good chili.
The char siu is the melts-in-your-mouth kind. You could eat this and float all the way to char siu heaven on one bite (I kid you not).
Sang choi (lettuce cooked with oyster sauce and fried onions). Must have veggies with every meal, you know…
Some spicy soup with ham choy (salted vegetable) and meat.
Duck feet is a delicacy for some.
What we came for! 1 whole bird for 7 people!
Everything finished!
And a whole pile of bones left behind. This is just from one person!
Total bill was just below RM 140, which worked out to RM 19 per person. That’s really reasonable.
Our post-trip lunch and settle-money session.
We had: individual bento sets and fruit juice.
Where: Edo Ichi Japanese Restaurant
First Subang Mall (SS15/4D)
Subang Jaya, Selangor
Promotion on fruit juices that day. Buy one, free one.
Sukiyaki set.
Grilled salmon set.
Chawanmushis.
Yakiniku set.
The settle-trip-money session.
And that wraps up our inaugural club trip. May there be many more to come!
We welcome S to the club.
S, aka Cookie Monster, came with us on the Penang trip, & thus joins us as a member of the Greater Dining Club.
On behalf of all the members, welcome S to join us on our eating adventures.
Last day of our trip so we didn’t start so early.
After checking out of the hotel, we left some chalk momento on a wall in the hotel specially allocated for this purpose.
Then it was off to breakfast.
Where: Sin Hup Aun
17 Jalan Pasar
George Town, Penang
This place is known for the mamak mee goreng.
The famous Jones Road Mamak mee goreng (or so the stall says). It’s pretty good so will trust their word 😀
Mee jawa.
Penang sar hor fun.
Ban chan kueh.
And drinks.
We saw these poles outside a shop near the restaurant, quite sums up the feeling that the holiday is ending.
Sad sad sad 😧😥
Next stop: Biscuit collection from Him Heang.
This is only SOME of our purchases… SC’s stuff is not even pictured!
And after we loaded the car, the boot was quite full.
Him Heang is usually one of the last stops you make when you’re in Penang. This is to ensure that you bring back freshly-baked biscuits.
After the massive biscuit collection (which came to some RM 500+ for 4 of us!!), we set off to have brunch with President and say our goodbyes for this trip.
Where: Genting Cafe
2 Lorong Delima 6 (at Lrg Delima 3)
Gelugor, Penang
Pasembur.
Prawn mee.
The chee cheong fun with peanut butter mixed into the sauce. Really yummy!
Mua chee. The famous one from Gurney Drive. Eating this is seriously addictive.
And the ever-famous Penang dish, char kway teow!
With crispy lard. We likey!!
And, drinks.
We left Penang around 1.30pm and everyone reached home by 8.30pm!!! Massive jams in KL because we got caught in the after-work traffic.
It was a great trip, and we’re now in talks for another similar trip… to some other place.
End of Day 3.
Day 2 in Penang. Started off early as today’s agenda was to go hunt for murals.
First stop: Breakfast.
Where: One Corner Cafe.
Jalan Bawasah, George Town, Penang.
This place has one of the best prawn mee in town. But the wait for your order can take up to an hour. We were lucky to get ours within 30 minutes.
The chopsticks were said to make the photo look messy, so we removed them for a retake. This time, all spoons must face in one direction!
Chee cheong fun.
Dry lor mee. Not sure how they meant this as dry. It looks quite soupy to me.
Or kueh (yam cake) with the 3 tones of sauces…
And drinks. Seems like everything today is 3-toned 😀
And that’s just breakfast 😀
We arranged with President to meet us downtown. While waiting for her, another round of yum cha at a mamak. Someone had a roti kosong too 😀
Then on to the mural hunt!
Next food stop: Ming Xiang Tai for snack break of herbal tea & pastries.
Where: Ming Xiang Tai
26 Gat Lebuh Armenian (at Lebuh Victoria), George Town, Penang.
At first I thought it was flower tea, but it’s herbal… got ginseng, wolfberries, red dates… lots of those medicine-type stuff. Pretty good thirst quencher.
Their egg tart is yums.
Headed for the Chew Jetty next, then headed to Tan Jetty for lunch.
Where: Tan Jetty Thai Food
97-A Tan Jetty, Weld Quay
George Town, Penang
Lunch was Thai food. Everything was super spicy!
After lunch, back to hunting murals. This time we didn’t stop until we left the place. No time to even stop for food :D.
Then it was off to Chowrasta Market for cendol / ais kacang & Penang laksa!
Where: Joo Hooi Cafe
475 Jalan Penang (at Keng Kwee St)
George Town, Penang
Mmmmm… cendol and ais kacang.
And Penang assam laksa!!! Slurps.
Had our dinner at Soon Lai Seafood, highly recommended by President. And now you know why she is the President. Because she knows all the good food places 😀
Where: Soon Lai Seafood
15 Lintang Batu
Jelutong, Penang
Ambra juice by the jug.
Butter nestum prawns. Oh so yummy. Eat until President also called me Prawn Face lol.
Noodles.
Sweet potato leaves. Vege is good for you.
Heh ken. No idea what it’s called in English. Prawn something… but it’s deep fried prawn in batter.
Drunken lala. Lalalalalalalalaa…
And crabs! S ate most of the crabs, until President called her Crab Face lol!
Look at all that crab egg…
Dropped off President after dinner, went in to say hello to her family & her doggie, Joey, then we headed back to the hotel for some much-needed sleep. Again, beyond caring if anyone snored or talked in their sleep.
End of Day 2.
