Peking Duck and Dim Sum at Di Wei Chinese Restaurant, Empire Hotel Subang

Went "gai-gai" at Empire Shopping Gallery. It was 2pm and was looking for something to eat. 

Mamarazzi saw big signboard as we enter ESG that a Chinese Restaurant was having Peking Duck promotion. RM39.90 a duck. That was pretty cheap right.

Being the "smart alleck" that she was, she misread and thought it was Ding Tai Fung that was having the promotion. 

We headed there and waited in front of the restaurant coz there was a signboard that says "Wait to be seated". Unfortunately, nobody was manning that counter. Waited at that counter quite sometime before the Waitress have time to "layan" us. She told us kindly that they do not have the Peking Duck Promotion. It's Di Wei that is having the promotion. 

Off we went upstairs to Di Wei.


 
Wow...very wide dining space . Very comfortable. They even have plates for kids.

The only down thing is that when we flip through the Menu, we found that many dishes were listed as "Sold Off". 

Nevertheless, we managed to get what we came for.

Service very friendly and fast.

We ordered a duck. They brought the uncut duck to our table for our viewing before they cut it in front of us.

Another lady roll up the meat for us.

The thinly sliced meat plus the crispy skin is placed on a piece of flat bread. Something like thin Pita Bread. Then added some spring onion, slice of cucumber and  sauce. Then roll it up

Tada!!! It's ready to eat!

 
mini "popiah"

Lemme taste

Delicious! one bite is not enough

What happen to the rest of the duck?

This happen! Cooked with noodle. The duck was RM39.90/duck and the second dish RM15++. This counted as second dish la. 

Aiyak...Mamarazzi should have asked to tapau the bones of the duck too coz can take home to make duck porridge.

As for the noodle....slurpeelicious!

I love it!



Apart from that we had Mixed mushroom dish. Not really to Mamarazzi's liking

But Mamarazzi certainly enjoyed this cold dish very much. Supposed to be appetizer. Jellyfish and Chicken.

You can see how cold it is from the Chicken Skin. Bet you guys/gals encounter it before right? When you are too cold, your skin will have goosebumps.


Papa ordered some Dim Sum too. Fried Brinjal 

Fu Chuk Rolls


And Steamed Fresh Scallop Dumplings

Delicious looking ya? Mamarazzi LOVED it very much.

I ate so much till I can't eat anymore.

Food were great and so was the service. One minor thing that marred the experience for Mamarazzi was that we were being asked to pay the bill as we were enjoying our meal. It was nearly 3pm and they were going to close. One of the waitress brought us our bill despite that we have not finished eating.

No, they did not ask us to leave but I felt uncomfortable eating after that coz I was worried that they will close the door and we would be left inside. Papa and Mamarazzi told me not to worry but still.......

Hmm...next time must come and makan earlier. Hopefully they will extend the Peking Duck Promotion la. It was from June to August 2012 only.

The Christian Zombie Killers Handbook By Jeff Kinley


Synopsis from Booksneeze.com


The Christian Zombie Killers Handbook delivers a fresh, relevant look at the doctrines of sin, grace, and salvation.
Ben Forman was just an ordinary guy, a young professional starting his first job and falling in love with his girlfriend. Living in the outskirts of a southern city, he didn’t think the zombie activity so common in the major cities would hit so close to home. But it was becoming clear that the mysterious infection reanimating the deceased was a growing epidemic across the country. The question was, would he stay alive or become the undead?
In this one-of-kind approach to teaching about sin, grace, and salvation, The Christian Zombie Killers Handbook tracks the fictional life of Ben Forman and offers solid Bible teaching to help readers understand the gravity and consequences of life without God, of life as a zombie. Ephesians 2:4-5 says, "But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our transgressions--it is by grace you have been saved." Without the salvation Jesus offers, we are all as good as dead. But as this book teaches in a winsome, cutting-edge, culturally relevant style, anyone can kill the zombie inside, escape the clutches of the undead, and come alive by the supernatural power of God's salvation.
My comments : -
This book is divided into two part. First you get the fiction part about Ben and the Zombie infested world. On the second part, is the part that explain about religion and about the zombie in our "body".
What I like about this books is that the fiction part of the book was very exciting and fast paced. It's gripping and was a page turner for me. The author certainly knows how to spin the tale and have a vivid imagination. 

What I don't like is the second part. In the beginning it was interesting on how Adam and Eve was conned to have the fruit from the forbidden tree and hence where the "zombie" virus invaded their body and from there their to their children and thereof. However, I feel it was to preachy for me in the subsequent chapters after being bombard again and again on the Zombie within us. 

I have to be honest and say that I end up skipping the rest of the chapters in part two and concentrated on the story about Ben.

I am giving this book two stars as I liked part one of the book and not the rest of it.

Mad Mushroom Galore.

There was one point of time, Papa suddenly had craving for mushroom. Went to the store and bought all kinds of mushroom and asked Mamarazzi to cook it together. 

Mamarazzi went and cooked Mixed Vegetable with Mushroom, Chicken with Mushroom and also Chinese White Cabbage Soup with Button Mushroom. But the Papa said it's not what he wants. Said he just wants all mushroom cooked together. 



 
Later on, Mamarazzi found this mushroom being sold in Pasar Malam(Night Market). RM5 for 3 packets. Can mixed from several types of mushroom.

She bought a packet of this. Don't know the name.

and a packet of this. Is it called Oyster mushroom?

And a a packet of needle mushroom. Thought wanna cook mixed mushroom dish. But then Papa suddenly say wanna eat Chicken with mushroom pulak.

Dug in the freezer found some chicken meat. Too bad no chicken wings. Best if cooked with chicken wings.

Marinated with some salt and soya sauce

Chopped some garlic. Fried with some oil. Throw in the chicken meat. Add a bit of salt.

When the meat was half cooked. She throw in the mushrooms and added some oyster sauce and dark soya sauce.

And this is the end result.



Taste? Nice nice lo. I love to "slurp" the mushroom up like noodle but I don't like the chicken.

 
Oppss....slurped wrongly. It's ginger. Yikes! Pedas!!

Lunch at Restaurant Kim Heong, Seri Petaling

This is our second time having lunch at this restaurant. Arrived kinda late. Nearly 2pm. Not many customer left.

We ordered their Set lunch RM38.80 for 2-3pax.

It comes with Soup of the Day. Chicken Soup. Taste very good. Guess been boiled long time.



Stir-fried vegetables with Garlic. It was Yau Mak. Nice but a bit too oily for Mamarazzi as she would have preferred it to be just blanched instead of stir-fried.

  
Deep Fried Pork Ribs with Thai Sauce. Everyone loves this dish.


Steamed Tilapia Fish with Soya Sauce. Mamarazzi was surprised that they gave us such big fish. There was slight hint of "mud" smell in this fish but it was tolerable.

The redeeming quality of the fish was in the sauce.

On top of the usual Soya sauce, Mamarazzi found this...it's pork lard. WOOHOO.....first time having fish with pork lard added. Love it!.

As there were four of us, we decided to ordered one more dish. Tauhu with mixed Vegetable.

Was surprised that the top of the tauhu was green colour. It;s not moldy. I think they added spinach or some sort of vegetable when they make the tauhu. Taste pretty good for Mamarazzi.


As usual, I did not eat much when I go out. Kinda excited wanna go "gai-gai" instead of concentrate in "makan".


Last cames the dessert. Guilin Gao. Comes with a "pot" of honey.

I had "fun" pouring in the honey.

Lemme taste first.

Yikes....still too bitter.

Some more honey.

Mmm now its prefect! I ate Mamarazzi's portion too.

Overall, it was a good meal for Mamarazzi. Here is the address if you wanna try out the food at this restaurant :-

22 - 24, Jalan Radin Tengah,
 Sri Petaling  
Kuala Lumpur.




Meantime hope you will enjoy this song

Best "Apam Balik" in Mamarazzi's Opinion

Recently, some friends were talking about "Apam Balik". 

If you  are wondering what is Apam Balik, it's actually a kind of traditional cake in Malaysia which is    usually taken during teatime or in the evening in over here. Similar to Pancake, it usually have thick skin with a layer of peanut butter, sugar sprinkled at the core and the corn on it. It's then folded in two and best eaten when it's still warm

Broadly speaking there are two types of Apam Balik, namely: -
 
Tradisional Apam Balik - pan sized and thick.
Crispy Apam Balik - it is crispy and have a thin skin like like crackers.


The best Apam Balik in Mamarazzi's opinion are those that have shredded coconuts as filings.

So far, she found two stalls that sells  Apam Balik with shredded coconut filings. One is located at Seri Kembangan Village while the other is at SS2  Pasar Malam(night Market) on Mondays.

The SS2 Apam Balik stall is located next to the hawker centre opposite AmBank. If not mistaken they only have Apam Balik with shredded coconut filing every forth night. Mamarazzi remembered asking the lady boss that long time ago but not sure whether this has changed or not.



Mamarazzi love the thin crispy Apom Balik most whereas Papa likes the thick one. Unfortunately the thick ones does not have shredded coconut fillings.


Not cheap. RM1 a piece but worth every sens.

 MMm....yummy coconut...

For me, I would eat both type of Apom Balik.

According to Papa, Indonesian Apom Balik is more innovative than ours. They have Chocolate apom balik, strawberry apom balik and any sort of apom balik that you can think of.
