Part of the reason why I MIA-ed last week was because I travelled up north, the previous weekend, to attend my cousin's wedding. Yes, Love was in the air but food would be the highlight of this post.
We arrived late in the evening and was fortunate enough to have a bowl of Lou Shi Fun (mouse tail) for dinner. Lou Shi Fun is type of white noodle which taste chewier than a Udon; it has the most amazing texture and taste absolutely delicious when served with simple black sauce and minced pork. I could still remember eating this 3 meals a day for 4 days straight during my CNY visits to Malaysia. I'm not too sure whether these are available in KL (haven't really spotted any) but they're really popular in Seremban, which is about a 40 minutes drive south of KL.

We had our noodles at San Jiao Di, which is basically an open triangular shaped carpark area available for vendors to set up their push cart stalls. This stall has been operating for almost 15 years, boy does this go wayyyy back.... Nothing much has changed, nothing other than $$$ of course Sighs, inflation sucks.

Either I've grown or I've grown, that bowl of Lou Shi Fun didn't seem to last long in my stomach, and so the food hunt continues. We had supper with my uncle and his fams at a nearby mak mak shop. Trusting Yungs recommendation, Dad ordered a Garlic Naan. If you think the Garlic Naan looks good, wait till you taste it. I have to say that's the best Garlic Naan I've tasted! It was served piping hot and was crispy in the outside, yet remained soft and chewy inside- YUMS YUMS YUMS

Breakfast the next day was impromptu, as we were rushing to attend the church wedding.We stopped by another mak mak shop, near the church, for a quick breakfast. I had Roti Rawa which was pretty good. According to my cousin, Roti Rawa is a healthier version of Prata. I'm not too sure about it being healthy but it sure is less oily and more herby than the usual prata.

Shuaxy had the prata which he claims was undercook. FYI, they call it Roti Canai here, in Malaysia.

Although the prata wasn't up to expectation, the drinks here were awesome. I loved how they listened to your request and served our drinks less sweet. I thought the Teh Tarik tasted good albeit the Teh Halia was slightly disappointing.

The star of the meal would have to be the cup of Nescafe Coffee. It was rich, creamy and had the oomph factor from the coffee. It tasted exactly like the ones I had at Bangalore- oh how I missed Meens.

We had Chendol, at Old Town Cafe, before the wedding dinner and I'm sad to say it sucked real bad. The Chendol was hard and had an agar agar liked texture. Also, the ice wasn't well blended and didn't have that nice snowy fluffy texture. Frankly, I was kinda expecting the Chendol to taste similar to that of Jonker 88's but I guess I was expecting too much.

We popped by at Seremban befor heading off for Singapore. I was dying to have a bowl of Lou Shi Fun but most of the stalls were closed, hence we settled for Hakka Mee. Hakka Mee is typically served with Mee Pok; I asked for the Chee Cheong Fun version as they ran out of Mee Pok. Surprisingly, this combi tasted real good!! I might just head back and order this combi again: lol did I mention the stall owner thinks I'm weird?
