The Treat Restaurant

SiuYe and I tried this new place in KL Sentral a few days ago. The Treats Restaurant. Located on the west side of KL Sentral right beside The Chicken Rice Shop, this little place is pretty easy to miss if not for the neon sign.


From the sound of the name, we thought we were in for a sweet tooth journey but instead, we found Ipoh food in the menu.


Ipoh Curry Mee, Law Mee, Shreaded Chicken Mee..


As usual, my first question to the waitress would be, "whats good?". Her answer was pretty quick. "Curry Mee".


So not feeling like making a choice, I just made a simple one. Whatever thats suggested. I'll eventually try all the food anyway.


Amazingly SiuYe ordered the same thing. Why am I amazed? Coz this guy has got the tolerance of a PMSing woman when it comes to spiciness.


Lets get to the food review. When the bowl was brought to us, omg, the smell was heavenly. I love the colour and smell of it. My stomach will attest to that. It growled immediately.


My only gripe is... even though the prawns look big and there are 2 pieces, its actually halved!!!


I feel so cheated.


Before I forget, along with the noodle, there are 2 halved prawns which translates to 1 prawn, 2 slices of fishcake, 2 halved tauhu pok and some shreaded chicken. Itu je... oh! If I'm not mistaken, its RM7.90 per bowl. Slightly costly in my book.


Their breakfast set seems interesting. Toast + coffee.


Check this blog for further review. TTFN...


btw, siuye was sweating profusely as we walked back to office. LOL.

Ramel Coffee

I love my coffee. Any coffee. Instant! Fresh! Imported! As long as coffee, its ok by me. Just to make a statement, my favourite is Nescafe 3-in-1 red (instant), Hai Peng Coffee (fresh) and as for imported... no preference. I'd like to say Illy Coffee, but the slightly sour taste is a turn off.

See the picture on the right? Thats something new. Its call Ramel Coffee. Short for Caramel Coffee I guess. Check out the layers. Its condensed milk at the bottom, cocoa powder, caramel syrup, double espresso (Illy of course) and on top... milk foam.

Got your attention yet? Sounds superb no? Now, why Illy coffee? Thats cause its creator, Mr.Shane, created it as his entry for Le Méridien's "Taste of Discovery" Global Coffee Challenge that was held in Trieste, Italy a few weeks back. He got 3rd place. Not bad for a Malaysian eh? Malaysia Boleh!!! Lol...

Ramel is now available at Conservatory, an outlet in Le Meridien Hotel, KL Sentral.

I had the opportunity to sample this coffee the other day. The SYT that delivered my Ramel gave me a wide-eyed stare when I enquired about how much sugar was needed to make this drink perfect. I thought I said something stupid like, "nice boobs" or "do you come along with this drink?". After a few seconds, she broke into an angelic smile and explained that Ramel will be sweet as I want it to be the more I stir it.

Heck! To me, this means stir it to the max. If its possible to use a blender, I would. As usual, my foolishness bit me in the ass. My Ramel was so sweet, my teeth hurt whenever I take a sip. However, it is indeed a journey of discovery. Sweet. Sour. Bitter. Foam moustache.

I still prefer my Illy Cappucino though. Its silky smoothness is comparable to a baby's butt.

We continued listening in to the afternoon delight for another 5 minutes or so before the girl gave a satisfactory purr and sighed.

Breakfast @ Foh San Dim Sum

dSis kept talking about trying the dim sum at Restaurant Foh San when we were back there last weekend, so we took the opportunity to try it out on a Sunday morning.

dAunt warned us about table availability. What with Sunday morning and all. We were lucky though. Ipoh. Chinese majority. Dim sum, porky porky. Nine emperor god festival. Mostly vegetarians. Yay!


Some late comers have to wait for tables. Seeing that this place has such a high class ambience, I was surprise they do not have hostesses for crowd management. How could an ah beng like me enjoy my food when there is a tall, fat, sweaty guy standing beside me waiting for me to finish so that he can have my table? Irritating!

Oh! Btw, if you do that to me, I'm sorry. I don't give 2 fucks. Wait for it babeh.




If your char siew pau is good, you'll be deemed superb! Too bad this one is not very good. Dry.


Chee Cheong Fun. Good! Fresh huge prawns. Old school push cart type. A bloody hassle to get them. They should be touring around in a specific set of tracks instead of randomly. It was only after we are done eating that we found out there is a corner for self service. Not buffet style though. You have to bring along your order chit for them to mark what you took.


Nampak lain, rasa sama. Rasa babi. Heh!



Open kitchen and take-away counter.

Its a jovial mood in the Dim Sum Road. People selling balloons, private car park attendants helping you park your car, cars honking to get the attention of double fuckers parkers.

Nine Emperor God Festival

Nine Emperor God or Festival of Nine Emperor God (Chinese: 九皇爺, Hokkien: Kow Ong Yah, Cantonese: Kow Wong Yeh) is held over the first 9 days of the 9th lunar month to celebrate the return from heaven to earth of the Nine Emperor spirits, who are worshipped as one deity and who represent health, wealth and prosperity.

How people worship is so very the another topic. Anyway, I took the opportunity to practice my photography when I was the driver of the day for GrandMa-In-Law (gmil). It was a bloody hot day. I started sweating the moment I stepped out of Lolita.

This is was greeted me when I first stepped into the temple compound. Over all, I'd say there is roughly about 50 millionaires sitting at every nook and cranny. Those that are not beggers are lottery peddlers. Odd enough, people really do donate as well as buy them lottery tickets by the barrel. Does giving your offerings to God really blesses you with luck? I'll answer this when my gmil jumps up and down like bunnies on hot pan while waving her tickets.

There was a pretty large crowd. My eyes were watering from all the smoke but I saw this hero smoking away on a ciggy. His lungs must be very strong. Gmil left me outside while she went in to make her offerings and prayer. So I drifted along the crowds. Like a sampan without anchor.

See the guy sitting on the steps? Guess what his job is.


His job is to grab your offerings, dunk it in the pail of water and throw the rest into the basket. The basket would then be taken to the dumpster. There goes your offerings. The guy's sin bin must be pretty full by now.

dS : eh gmil, since he keep throwing away those just burnt joss stick, why not they just make or sell shorter ones? cheaper to produce, better for the environment too.

gmil : its not like that 1 la. its your offering. as long as it comes from the heart.

dS : in that case, i got heart to offer the big ass giant prick dragon ones, but i don't actually burn it also enough lur.

gmil : your head! you don't understand 1 la... go take your pics go!



GMIL proceeded to the vegetarian makan area. So I tailed her in there, curious on whats being offered. What I saw totally grossed me out. I'm sorry to my Buddhist readers (if i have any). I do not mean any disrespect, I'm merely calling out as I see it. What did I see? Check it out...

Vegetarian Char Bee Hoon. Those pails are on the floor and its not covered! Wait... those are actually for the volunteers who were on duty that day. What do devotees get?





No more pickled vege at 11am, only white rice and diluted porridge. You guys need to donate more man.

Some devotees spent the whole day praying and comes from land far far away. So the temple provided them with a place to stay at a certain $$$. It looks a lot like a dormitory, or perhaps prison?





Here is another concept that baffles my brain.


If you don't buy those birds in the first place, they wouldn't be captured to be sold to you for you to let them go right? Do them birds a favor and stop promoting this cruelty. So many poor little birds in one cage is so very the stressing tau?!!

OK, before you bang me, let me put on my flame suit and crash helmet. I'd also like the chance to soften the blow by putting up these following pictures. Youngest devotee of the day.



I just woke up, stop aiming that damn cam on me

Lechon Lambuk

This is bubur lambuk.

This is lechon. Philippine's version of roast pork.

This is how it looks like after air-dried.


This is how it looks like out of the package.

Together? They make a great dish. Bubur lambuk from pasar ramadan+lechon brought in specially by a trainee's grandma = a great big burp of total indecency.

Thank you Ella for sharing the lechon.
