I always see actors and actresses in TVB series buying put zhai gou as snacks and indeed put zhai gou is originated from Hong Kong. This snack dessert is a type of mini rice puddings made mainly from rice flour and sugar served on toothpicks.
The put zhai gou stall in OUG pasar malam sells three types of this dessert. They are the red bean, corn and pumpkin put zhai gou. Each piece is sold at RM 0.80. I tried their red bean an d corn flavored put zhai gou. Both the put zhai gou has a sticky and soft texture and not so sweet in taste. Just nice for my liking.
Great!
The red bean put zhai gou
I personally preferred the red bean put zhai gou because it really has a strong red bean aroma and contains lots of unmashed red beans to bite on. Thumb up.
Great!
The back of the put zhai gou is full of red beans
Great!
The corn put zhai gou
The corn put zhai gou is not bad either as it contains lots of corns to bite on. Would be better if the corn aroma is stronger.

A few days ago, I went to DDP food court to have lunch. I shared with mum the following mixed pork soup from the stall which sells Mixed Pork Soup and Kampung Chicken Rice. This stall is located next to the Pan Mee stall and both stalls are actually operated by the same people. We waited quite long for the soup to arrived but it is worth it because the soup is delicious.
Great!
This big bowl of mixed pork soup is only priced at RM 7.00 which includes two plain rice. The soup contains generous amount of pork meat and innards like pig heart, stomach, tongue and pork liver. I like the chewy texture of the innards but I didn't like the pork meat because the meat is on the tough side. The soup is cooked using black pepper and added with tomatoes and pickled mustards as well as asam boi. I really enjoyed the soup because of the sourness provided by the asam boi and pickled mustards.

Yea, I went to the OUG pasar malam for food hunting again and I got the following Lin Chee Kang as dessert. Lin chee kang is actually a popular Chinese traditional cooling drink.
At the stall in the pasar malam, one can either choose to have cold or warm. I had mine warm. I packed one pack of the Lin Chee Kang back home to drink and was charged RM 1.40. One can also choose to add hard-boiled quill eggs at an additional of RM 0.30.
The following bowl of lin chee kang dessert is full of ingredients such as pearl sagos, red beans, lotus seeds and snow fungus. I like the chewing experience of muching all the ingredients together especially the crunchy snow fungus. The tong sui broth taste good too. Not very sweet. Just nice for my liking.
Chili's is a wellknown restaurant which can be found worlwide. Currently, there are more than 1500 restaurants in 31 countries. In Malaysia, the Chili’s has been around since June 1994. And has now expanded to more outlets located in many major shopping malls such as Suria KLCC, Mid Valley Megamall, 1 Utama, G Hotel in Penang, Empire Shopping Gallery, Subang and CITTA Mall (Ara Damansara).
I met up with a college friend for lunch at Chili's Mid Valley in 2009 and we had the following two different fish dishes.
Great!
TEQUILA-LIME FISH STEAK
This fish steak were prepared by dipping in Chili's very own non-alcoholic tequila-lime marinade and then grilled. The fish is also topped with garlic-lime butter sauce. The fish is nicely marinated and juicy. Besides, the fish is also fresh without the fishy smell. Besides, the dish is was also served with rice vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflowers. Initially, I was not full but after finishing up the rice, I was full. Overall, I am satisfied with this dish.
FISH & CHIPS (RM 22.95)
The fish and chips set consisted of 3 medium sized fish fillets, tartar sauce and of course the fries. The fish fillets were fried using their own batter recipe where the taste is a bit bland but very crispy. For more taste, remember to squeeze the lime and eat together with the tartar sauce.

I got the following Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun from the Chee Cheong Fun stall in Desa Danau food court. One can either choose to have Char Siew or prawns as filing. But I chose to have two of those ingredients together.
A small portion of the Chee Cheong Fun also known as rice noodle (RM 4.00)
The chilli paste to eat together with the cheong fun. Taste really good when eaten together with the cheong fun. Not spicy at all but fragrant with the aroma of dried shrimps.
Oops....I drowned the cheong fun with sweet soy sauce.. Lol... The lady at the stall actually keep the sauce warm in a steamer and only take it out when needed. So thoughtful of her. Luckily, the sauce is not salty, if not I would have destroyed the cheong fun by putting too much of the sauce.
I found that the cheong fun's skin is little too thick for me. Would be better if it is thinner. There also isn't much ingredients in it. Just only 3 prawns and some Char Siew cubes.

This Thai food stall operates in DDP Food Court in the morning until at night. Today, I bought their white tom yum as my lunch. I was charged RM 5.50.
A plate of white rice (RM 0.50)
At just RM 0.50, the plate of white rice being given is really big. Nowadays, I seldom find 50 cents rice being given at this big portion.
Great!
White Seafood Tom Yum soup (RM 5.00)
This bowl of white tom yum is consisted of ingredients such as fish cake slices, abalone mushroom slices, carrot slices and crab stick. Other than that, 2 slices of fish meat and two pieces of prawns were also given. They are stingy in giving out the prawns and fish but generous in giving out other ingredients like the fish cake and abalone mushrooms. I guess this is because prawns and fish are expensive while the rest of the ingredients are cheaper.
For those who love spicy food, I think they will not fancy white tom yum as the soup is not spicy at all. But I liked the soup very much because it is sour, which is very appetizing for me. Each spoonful of rice was accompanied by the soup. I almost finished up all the soup. Yummy yummy...........

Thanks to Groupon deal, mum and I get to eat at Le Porc Dor in Old Kland Road for a dinner meal at a cheap price. We got the meal for two people at RM 19.00 instead of RM 32.00. But the portion given for each dish is quite small. According to them, food in Le Porc Dor are cooked without adding MSG which is good because this means we can eat healthily over here.
Winter Melon Barley Soup I liked the barley bits in the soup but the soup taste weird. It is like those soup being kept overnight.
Chinese sausages with steamed chicken and black fungus
The steamed chicken was steamed into a soft texture. I do not need to use force to remove the meat from its bone. The sausage were quite fragrant. Nice to eat with plain rice. The combination of chinese sausage with chicken actually tasted quite similar to "loh mai kai" also known as glutionous chicken rice.
Steamed pork slices with yam
The yam slices were cooked into a very soft texture. Just the way I like. But I find the taste is quite salty and the pork were quite oily with a layer of fat on the surface of the pork, without much meat on the pork slices.
Vegetables
The vegetable used is choy sum. A very simple vege prepared by blanching in hot water and added with some oyster sauce. I actually enjoyed this dish because it is not oily at all. Indeed a healthy way to detox all the oily dishes above, especially the steamed pork slices with yam.
