Penang assam laksa is world's top 10 food!

It doesn't matter if you live to eat, or eat to live.

Penang's famed assam laksa is one of the dishes worth traversing the world for, according to a CNN International food survey. Under its CNNGo guide to lifestyle, shopping, hotels and restaurants, Malaysia's popular dish is also seventh among the world's 50 most delicious food. CNNGo describes the dish as “poached, flaked mackerel, tamarind, chili, mint, lemongrass, onion, pineapple an addictive spicy-sour fish broth with noodles.”

It added that the Penang assam laksa was especially great when fused with ginger “that'll have your nose running before the spoon even hits your lips.” Two popular Singaporean dishes (that's also part of our staple diet in Malaysia) have made it to CNNGo's list as well. At no. 45 is the national dish of Singapore, chicken rice. 'Whenever you're not actually in Singapore eating chicken rice, you're thinking of it,' the website says.

Placing higher at no. 35 is Singapore's infamous chilli crab, which the website describes as a 'spicy, sloppy, meaty specialty' that is a must-try when visiting Singapore. Thailand's Massaman curry tops the list, and is described as the 'king of all foods', with its 'spicy, sweet and savoury' flavours.

Es Para Ti, Damansara Perdana

Was at Damansara Perdana the other day to try out this Mediterranean restaurant, which is apparently owned or related to the people who runs Deutsche/German Bierhaus - it's called Es Para Ti. A unique restaurant situated in the quieter side of Damansara Perdana, this place serves some pretty kick-ass pork dishes.

This is the roast suckling pig.... Mmmm yummmeeeehhh!!!

Pork dishes goes best with beer, in this case, the Hoegarden. =)

This is the fettucine carbonara.

The pork and roast turkey pizza!

Ficelle Boulangerie & Patisserie, Taman Danau Desa.

Today was a particularly boring Sunday. Woke up pretty early, and I decided to bring my parents to a new place to try out for breakfast. Usually, we would end up in BSC, but today, I wanted to try something else. The last time I did that - we went to LeVain Boulangerie Patisserie, which mum loved it so much... this time... we ended up at Taman Danau Desa....

Ficelle Boulangerie & Patisserie.

If you observe my following pictures, you'll notice that it does look quite similar to LeVain. Of course silly... it is a branch of LeVain's. =) In fact, to be honest, this is my 2nd time here TODAY. Morning for breakfast, then back again for lunch... and PICTURES of course!

The array of sweet bites and cakes... and plenty of colourful macaroons!

The freshly made pastries and bread. Yummyyy...

Some of the macaroons... =)

The seating here are all fully outdoors, as it is a much smaller place, as compared to LeVain. But there are plenty of shady and huge trees here - so it is pretty cosy and shady. =)

Some of the pastries that we ordered.

The aglio olio spaghetti.

Ohhh.... one more plus point!!!

They welcomed Perry too!!! Yes, while the first time I went to LeVain I brought Fatty and Ally - this time I brought Perry to come and sample the place. He loved it!!!

And here's a picture of Perry with popular travel blogger, Nicolekiss. =)

Surisit Thai, TTDI.

Recently, Bok brought us to TTDI to try out this place called Surisit Thai - an authentic and very 'homely' Thai restaurant. As most Thai restaurants in KL are halal or pork free, I was surprised when this place said... NON-HALAL. One look at the menu and I was... mesmerized... wow... the amount of pork that they have.... wowww... I was mouth watering already. =)

The setting was rather kopitiam style, which makes it a good place for families to come for a simple dinner, lunch... or even breakfast!

To start off, we had the kerabu pucuk paku.

The Mun Thod Gapi...

This is highly recommended - and a MUST ORDER!! Super delicious awesome fried pork with shrimp paste and lemon leaves, served with some chili on the side...

Cha Om.... this is some good stuffs!!

I usually order the telur dadar at other Thai places, and this one definitely satisfies my cravings for some good 'telur dadar'. =P

The sour orange curry fish.

The Kao Klut Gapi.

Do note that this belacan fried rice is served with some really good braised pork on the side. =)

The crispy deep fried fish with lime, chili and garlic. Another of my favourites....

Tom yam ka moo. =) Yummmyyyyy....

If you like spicy food and Thai food as well as tom yum as much as I do - then come and make sure you order this. =) This one is truly awesome!!!

and then it came to desserts... mmm mango sticky rice, anyone?
