Uncle John Dried Mee

Uncle John Seared Edge Lava Egg Dried Mee
(This name is at the entrance of the shop)

In Google, it’s only Uncle John Dried Mee
(which I didn’t like)!!!

It should be Uncle John’s Golden Thread Noodles or Jinsi Mian!!!

This restaurant is new; just 3 months old. Their specialty is Jinsi mian. Their menu is simple.  It is Jinsi mian served with fried egg and a meat of your choice. Noodles are really nice. Crunchy kind.

百家利西菓店 Bakery Cake House

百家利西菓店 Bakery Cake House
8 Lorong Angsa
Taman Berkeley, Klang

The Chinese characters were confusing to me as it states "Baijia Lixi Fruit Store"
As I am unsure of its history, who knows, it may have started as a fruit store?

However, I was reading about its history which some bloggers had kindly written. This bakery started in 1978. Run by an elderly couple and their son.

As we visited them on a Sunday morning, coincidentally they were preparing to pack some boxes for a full moon party. Customers, were pouring into their kitchen, trying to buy what they want not really caring about what the couple was busy about that morning. The elderly couple were really patient and nice; no tempers at all. Just served the customers accordingly and as fast as they could possibly handle.

 The man told me about that full moon party boxes and said that he was afraid that when they sell, the cakes might not be enough for the boxes. I said, just take it slow. Put aside those for the boxes first. People just have to wait!!!









I was actually hunting for old school butter cream cakes. Found this bakery in Klang. Was excited to pay a visit!
FOUND THEM! Son was packing some cakes for me.

Rumah Tangsi ~ Fiftig Seofon

The beautiful Rumah Tangsi 
The mansion of Loke Chow Kit 

Started in 1907, this mansion (known as Loke Hall) was first constructed when KL was a tin mining town. Rumah Tangsi (Barracks House) was given that name because the surrounding area were police barracks and armory buildings. Of course, Jalan Tangsi was originally known as Barrack Road in the Colonial days.

1909, Loke Hall was taken over by Empire Hotel.

1919, it became the Peninsular Hotel.

Today, Rumah Tangsi has been gazetted as a National Heritage Building and a darling cafe named Fiftig Seofon sits on the left wing of the building. 

Fiftig Seofon  is translated to 57; a tribute to 1957.






























Reuben my waiter was really nice this morning!
