Hong Kong Food Culture, Low Yat Plaza

Ok, I know this is a night post. I have no idea why I suddenly want to make a post tonight. I told myself not to see/read any food blog (+pics) or post anything during night time cause it will make me hungry!!! And, my parent just got back around 10pm...They're back home with...durians!!! In conclusion, I'm really starving right now....ARGH~~!!! :'(

Anyway, just wanted to tell you guys that I've always wanted to try the snacks out at this restaurant. The small snack stall is just outside Low Yat's entrance (The one near Times Square's bridge that links us to Low Yat/Sg Wang) as my friends told me that there were some snacks which were delish. So, there we were to try out some of their snacks.

There were only 3 or 4 small tables placed next to this snack stall which can merely fit about 10-12 ppl? So do prepare to wait for tables if you wanna makan the snacks there, else you can "tapao". As all the tables were crowded with customers, we thought we could sit inside the restaurant. We asked the waitress if we could order the snacks and have them inside the restaurant on Lower Ground Floor. The waitress told us that we could sit down there if only we order the restaurant's drinks or food. Hmm, but I only want to eat some snacks. So we have no choice but to wait for place and luckily we got ourselves seated in just a while.


We ordered the black pepper fish balls. At first bite, the aromatic pepper smell lingered through my nose. Then, as the biting continues I found it to be a little too soft on the texture. But, overall the taste was ok. There were some chopped onions and stuff inside the fish balls too.


Next was the Fried Calamari. They've cleansed and kept the ready-to-fry raw calamari in a big tub/container and keep in their fridge. When you want 1 they'll simply take out a portion and dip those raw calamari into batter...then "zaaaa!!!" them into the hot oil. Minutes later, you'll be served a plate of freshly deep fried calamari. I find the texture to be super crunchy. Dip them into some chilli sauce, yummy~!


This is er..'Mah Latt' fish ball I think (If I'm not mistaken). They were soaked boiled into a hot pot of 'Mah Latt' sauce. I love this. Why? Cause it's spicy and the fish balls were tasty. :)

There were also other snacks like deep fried Seafood Tofu (Bright yellow rectangular tofu with a white layer in the middle), deep fried whole small crab, and others. My another friend told me that their deep fried pork intestines were lovely too, but I didn't try them out. :(

Kaya Puff from Ipoh?

Hmm, I watched 8tv's HoChiak! sometimes when I have the chance to. Few weeks back they were reviewing about some delicious looking little mini kaya puff somewhere at Ipoh I guess. It's really enjoyable to see those cute kaya puff being processed. The owner even made their own kaya. When they pop those mini kaya puff (RM0.50 per piece) into their mouth..I can actually smell it! Oh my! Faint According to them, they said the kaya was very very aromatic..and the pastry...very very crunchy and not hard. Yummy yumm...

So, one day when I got home, I saw a pink box laying on the dining table. I didn't feel curious about it because the box didn't have any printing that indicates what it was. Later on, my mom told me that her friend bought us some mini kaya puffs from Ipoh. My eye turned big~!!! >.<>I ran down with joy!


Luckily Shujin left his camera at my place for a few days cause he forgotten to take them home what a coincidence! So, I took up my courage and brought his gear down to the dining room. I opened up the camera's lense...and shoot shoot shoot! Shoot like a mad person...put in different place to shoot..I remembered Shujin said find place with most lighting. I shoot and shoot until dad and mom had to stop me. :'( LOL. Well, the pictures wasn't as nice...so people, please bare with it~! :P


Ok, finally I tried the piece of mini kaya puff. I don't know why I'm so excited about it when it's actually left on my dining table for 1 night. (yeah...overnight kaya puff!) But, I'm telling you guys..if you tell me it's overnight-ed kaya puffs??? No! The pastry has very crunchy texture and it's like it having layers of the pastries all together. Crunchy enough but it's light and fluffy. The kaya filling wasn't too sweet or too plain. It's just of the right amount. Darn..I'm craving for 1 right now.

The only thing I want to know is...anyone knows the name of this kaya puff shop and where is it located in Ipoh??? @_@

Have a Break, Have Some Cadbury Chocolates!

Chocolates anyone? Yeah, I know it's Wednesday and what am I posting??? Snacks!!! Come on people, it's snacks time~!!! Woohoo...LOL. So sorry that I got totally carried away. Was watching "28 Weeks Later" few days ago, and I found it to be a "yummylicious" movie..if you guys know what I meant. Thinking about yummy, I decided that I wanted to post some chocolates. (Hmm, don't sound like making sense don't they?)

I bought 5 packets of mini Cadbury chocolates when there were people at my college doing promotion about it. At first I was thinking about which one should I get. There was a lady who offered us some samples of these chocolates. I tried a few and they were all yummy~ Being a chocolate person, I was thinking...getting each packet of these chocolates from the Cadbury promo isn't very much isn't it? After all, it's only 5 small packets of mini chocolates in total. :P


The first will be the Cadbury's Sesame Chocettes. I was actually very curious about the combination of the "two main characters". With sesame partnering with chocolates, I find it quite special. The sweetness of the chocolates combines well with the aromatic sesame seeds. If you're a sesame person, do give it a try.


Ok, here comes my favourite one...Cadbury's TimeOut Chocettes. The light wafer with smooth milky chocolates just melts in my mouth~ :)


Another favourite of mine was the Cadbury's Dairy Milk Chocettes. The outer layers of the crispy shells were soo crispy while the inner of the milky chocolates just makes me go yumm yumm.


For those who love caramel, do try this one. Cadbury's Picnic Chocettes contains some peanuts, wafer, cereal, and caramel. It's nice crunching down cereal, wafer together with peanuts and just enough caramel to make it sticky. I just love caramel...very aromatic. Yummy~


Last but not least, Cadbury's P-Nutz Chocettes. This is for peanuts lover. Contains full of peanuts pieces with a little touch of caramel. I find this to be okay. Nothing much to write about it. Keke...

Haha, well...I better continue with my revision for my upcoming exam. (I am sick with sorethroat and cough) So do take care everyone and have a nice day!
