Sorry for the lack of update, had been busy these days. I had never heard of Pontian, which is a town located in Johor until i went to this restaurant. Its not hard to find this restaurant, just few shops beside Salmon Steak or opposite of the old Taylor's Business School (blue building).
Those noodles are hand made and no preservative added.
The places is packed with people although it was newly opened. The environment reminded me of my childhood, during my kindergarten days with those colourful chairs.
Pontian Wanton Noodle (Rm 4 for small, Rm 6 for big). Since the common wantan mee is mixed with black sauce, so i ordered something a little different, with black and spicy sauce. It tasted so delicious, the noodles are just nice. The dumpling was very crispy. I think this bowl of noodle stands out because they added lard which enhance the taste a lot.
Curry Laksa (Rm 4.50), taste wise was pretty normal. This was the first time i see a laksa that added herbs on top.
Noodles was somehow like those you used for asam laksa. Didn't like it though.

Pontian @ SS15, Subang Jaya
Teow Chew Meng @ Aman Suria, Petaling Jaya
I didn't know that this shop exist in Aman Suria although i passed by it very often. It gave me a very familiar feel when i saw the menu, it was actually the restaurant that I tried at the branch in ss2 (near Lobsterman) back then. Located just opposite of Murni Discovery and beside the famous char siew shop.
Now, i'm a mee sua lover but for a bowl of Mee Sua Tow (Rm 11 per pax) in this restaurant is really expensive. Fear not, it won't disappoint you, this bowl of mee sua is full with goodies, fish maw, mushroom, crab stick, fish, prawns, etc. It is delicious and definitely worth the price. There's also a choice of porridge or Tom yam seafood noodle if you are not fascinated with mee sua.
Add some vinegar to enhance the taste.
Fishball Noodle (Rm 5) was very simple. Couldn't elaborate more for it.

Ipoh Ma-Lee @ Mentari Court, Bandar Sunway
There's a few shops in Mentari Court that we did not try before. So my mates and i decided to randomly choose a restaurant and Ipoh Ma-Lee attracted us to have lunch there.
The owner was really friendly and recommended us some of his specialties. Mushroom Pork sauce Chee Cheong Fun (Rm 4.50). Not bad for the combination. If you like pork skin, you can try the curry pork skin CCF.
What you think of when it comes to Ipoh, Sa Hor Fun (Rm 6). Didn't like this much, the prawn oil was too much and spoil the taste. They can be improved.
Yam cake tasted so yammy(yummy). Unlike other stalls, this have strong yam smell.
Try to located D'Fortune Club, and the restaurant is very near.
Address : 9, Jalan PJS 8/10, Dataran Mentari, Bandar Sunway, 46150, P.J, Selangor.

O & S Restaurant @ Taman Paramount, P.J
This is the place i can think about when it comes to kuey teow th'ng(kuey teow soup) or the chee cheong fun that can be a substitute of Penang's. O&S Restaurant is a corner shop facing the opposite of Caltex petrol station.
A bowl of Kuey teow th'ng (Rm 5.50) is simply delicious. You can also request for extra lard. Adding intestines or blood cubes will be extra charges.
Prawn paste chee cheong fun (Rm 2.20). Cryo was shocked when i told him the price for a plate, he expected around rm4. In penang, prawn paste are very much common, but in P.J, i couldn't find any substitute for it because most of them are watery. Till i found it in O&S.
O&S Restaurant is not only famous for the kuey teow th'ng and chee cheong fun. There are also prawn mee, yong tau foo and curry laksa/asam laksa.
Kafe Daiki @ Subang Park Hotel, SS15, Subang Jaya
I did not know that there's a cafe in Subang Park Hotel until i was told. All i know is the famous pork noodle used to be here until they relocated to Pomander. Located just nearby Carefour and opposite of Subang Avenue, a corner building.
Based on the name, you might think that they're selling japanese foods. Partly right, they do sell a range of japanese food. Not just japanese food, they are also selling local food, nasi lemak and so on.
Garlic Fried Rice (Rm 6.50). This is just not my bowl of food, as i'm just a garlic lover, i would have expect more garlic in every bite, sadly the amount was little. Seaweed and garlic fried rice is a good combination though.
Unagi Don (Rm16.90). I couldn't say this is overpriced as they gave me a big piece of unagi. What i dislike the most was the pickles, it just made the taste go so wrong. Unagi was fresh, still it is just another bowl of common unagi don.
Duck Egg Char Kuey Teow @ Restoran Unlimited, SS14, Subang Jaya
I heard of duck egg char kuey teow and it is very well known in Penang but i had never try it. There was once while i'm reading Star newspaper i saw SamCheong writing his experience with duck egg char kuey teow in Subang Jaya. Out of curiosity, i decided to try it with my classmates.
The restaurant is a corner shop, not hard to find it.
The char kuey teow stall is named Red Leaf. The stall's board wrote duck egg char kuey teow, so we assume that they only sell their specialty. We ordered char kuey teow, without knowing that we should be specific by saying 'duck egg' char kuey teow. Turn out our first plate to be the normal chicken egg kuey teow we ate.
We decided to order another plate, which is what we came here for, duck egg char kuey teow(Rm 5). We only can conclude that the eggs have different taste, but the overall was nothing special, doesn't taste good, no 'wok hei'. To be more precise, they are using hor fun to fry instead of kuey teow. It was a big disappointment for us.
6 to 10 Grill & Nasi Lemak @ SS17,
Where to have our dinner in SS17, western and shang har mee was the choice given. Since Jack didn't like shang har mee, so we went to 6 to 10 Grill. Been a long time since i eat western food, you know, those not so expensive ones.
I ordered the Special Chicken (Rm 12.90). When it came, i try to spot it's 'specialty' but failed. Battered chicken with brown sauce and a mushrooms. The chicken was very dry, i'm fortunate that there's enough sauce to go with it. The salad was awfully bitter as well.
Pork chop (Rm 14.90), some parts are juicy but there's also the dry/tough part. The pork chop is just no up to par.
Craving for some dessert, we ordered the Bread Pudding (Rm 5.50), considering the size of it, it is just not worth the price. I could just throw any negative comments from the taste to the bread itself.

Restoran Bibik Neo @ Jalan Merdeka, Melaka
What food can you find in Melaka, i would say that i definitely go a place that serve good Baba-Nyonya food and cendol. I went to Bibik Neo since my sister recommended me. As we seldom travel to Melaka, it took us few rounds to find it.
It was not easy to notice this place. But luckily, we were able to locate it after a few calls to the restaurant.
The keropok was so good that we wanted to buy it from the restaurant owner. The keropok are only available at the shop opposite of Bibik Neo named 'Kapitan'
The Sambal Belacan(Rm 8) with Ikan Bilis has the 'omh' for it's spiciness and with crispy anchovies(ikan bilis). You can also dip your keropok into the belacan.
Lemak Fish(Jernak) (Rm 26), it was the first time i heard a fish name Jernak, but since it was the waitress's recommendation, we gave it a shot. The dish was not too spicy with a bit of sourish taste from the pineapple.
Chincalok Omelet(Rm 8), i guess nothing could go wrong for this, except for its saltiness.
Kangkung Belacan (Rm 8.00)
Among all dishes, Chicken Pongteh (Rm 12) was a big disappointment. We didn't like the diluted gravy and the chicken was overcooked resulting a tough meat to bite on.
A bowl of Sago Gula Melaka/Cendol(Rm 2.80) is a must if you come to Melaka. The strong taste of gula melaka is the bomb compared to those cendol in K.L. Every scoop of it, you could taste the fragrance of it.
Business Hour: 11a.m - 2.30p.m & 6p.m - 9p.m

Hing Long Taiwanese Noodle House @ Melaka
If you're thinking of a bowl of Taiwanese spicy beef noodle, then this is the perfect place for you. Previously, i went to its branch in Damansara uptown and few days ago I went to Melaka and had the original one in Jalan Bachang.
Be prepare with tissues because you're going to sweat a lot. Eating spicy food with the hot environment. Although they had 5 fans, but it still hot consider the 'kitchen' is just near us.
Spicy beef noodle(rm 4.20), small. The noodle's here are smooth, unlike the one in D.U, which you feel like eating a lump of noodles. Beef was tender and soup was just heavenly.
Address for Melaka shop: 11-J, Jalan Bachang, 75350 Melaka.

Hakka Mee & Beef Noodle @ Seremban
Whenever i travel to Seremban, its a must to have 2 foods, Tow Kee hakka mee and Sin Yee Kee beef noodle. I'll never get the similar taste in P.J. This 2 shops are located one floor above the wet market, where you can see the food court.
First, Tow Kee hakka mee. This shop had been operating since i was a kid. As i said, this is one a the 'must' food in Seremban.
The homemade noodles were not too soft, chewy and topped with minced meat and spring onion. Add some pepper to enhance the taste. In P.J, the nearest taste to this hakka mee is in Aman Suria.
Next, Sin Yee Kee beef noodle.
Tender beef with thick starchy gravy and sesame seeds. The beef noodle here was not as good as before. Since the son slowly take over the business of the shop, the beef noodle standard had been inconsistent.
