So I have been out and about in my quest for food ... You can say that I'm a foodie of sorts, but maybe not in the definitive sense ... However, my quest is erratic at best because I can't afford to spend on eating outside and even on takeaways, although I have made quite several Grabfood orders ... Let's just proceed to the specimens I have collected on this particular journey, shall we? ...

| My mother used to make this really delicious 'daging masak kicap' ... Perhaps the last one is this one, which makes it more than five years ago ... The beef is so soft that it would melt in the mouth and the spicy hotness is fantastic ... My nose would be running by the time I finished eating and that is a good sign ... My mother is getting on in her autumn years and therefore she does not cook anymore, at least not dishes like this ... It is even made more unfortunate by the fact that she does not want to teach me how to cook this dish ... Maybe she knows that I'm such a lazy git that I would not make it as delicious as hers ... It is such a sad affair, but I can always look to the fact that my sister-in-law can also make a similar dish and perhaps she can teach me, so all is not lost ... |

| I came across this hot plate dish while I went out to have lunch with a friend at nusentral ... I think the name of the chain is Pepper Something ... A lot of people queued up at its stall at the time, so I thought the food must be delicious ... So, the next time while I was walking along the underground food court at Pavilion, I came across one and immediately lined up before the queue got too long ... I tell you, it was quite a wait, as there were few people waiting before me and the dish took time to prepare ... I ordered Beef Pepper and the beef sizzled its way to getting cooked while I searched for a place to sit in the crowded food court ... It still sizzled when I found a seat, so I had to wait until it was not that hot enough for my mouth ... Verdict: It isn't too bad, but not a dish I would eat again ... I wonder what all the hype is about ... |

| This is at the mall near my place ... I had never tried Korean food before, so I thought I give it a try ... I asked a lot of questions about the available dishes as I couldn't make heads or tails of the fancy Korean names and the pictures of the dishes on the menu were not really much of a help, imo ... In the end I ordered Chikin Pabkon Ramyon Set and hoped to God that the portion wasn't too large ... The portion is a little too much for me, tbh ... It took me more than half an hour to finish the bowl, and only the bowl ... I did not consume the soup and the side veggies, although I should have as I have never tried Kimchi ... I didn't even drink the noodle broth because my stomach was too full ... The chicken cutlets aren't too bad and the spiciness is the right note as my nose got snotty in the end ... The noodle itself is quite delicious but the kind that makes you full after a few mouthfuls ... Verdict: It is an interesting dish, but it will be a while before I try another Korean dish ... |
