Bánh Mì Hồng Hoa @ Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Another favourite place of mine for banh mi with no queues. Past two trips in Saigon and I had it for a total of 3 times. 

All the staff was very friendly, no food nazi here. Just awesome sandwiches!!!

I had a chicken for a change of flavours and also tried the tuna(was sardines though) on my third time.

Not shy on portions and tasted damn good. I'll be back.

Phở Phú Vương @ Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Was around this area and I remembered I bookmarked this place. Went and check out the pho. The restaurant occupies two shoplots. There's a small aircon dining room. Quite a few tourists here as well.

Menu was pretty simple. Just order your cuts of beef.

Portions were good and I only ordered the small bowl. Packed with ingredients. Another decent bowl of pho I would say.

Trần Pizza @ Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Found a nice pizza joint last round I was in HCMC which was not far from Walking St. So all this pics were from their last outlet at District 1.

I tapaued back to my usual bar at Walking St and slowly devoured it. Pizza was super uber feckin GOOD. Anyway I texted them again last weekend and it seems they shifted to District 3.

Bò Né Thanh Tuyền @ Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

I'm starting to like this type of breakfast in Saigon. So this is called Bo Ne, basically strips of beefs, eggs and pate on a sizzling hot plate. You pair it with a baguette and some salad.

The guys in the front of the shop hard at work churning out all this beautiful piping hot stuff. The eggs come out nicely but not for long because of the sizzling plate.

Pro tip (actually I saw the guy next to my table did it), just douse the whole small bowl of soya sauce into the hotplate. It'll give a nice caramelised burnt taste.

Also don't forget to order their Vietnamese coffee, definitely will perk you up! This is a breakfast for champions.

Izakaya Unatoto Việt Nam @ Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Walked past this store a couple of times and decided to try it out, actually the sake called me:/ 

Ah what a yummy sake to start off the meal. Beautiful! Ordered some tuna sashimi and a mini bowl of unagi don. 

Good stuff, tuna was fresh and portions were good. The unagi was excellent, nicely charred and seasoned. Yummy.

Phở Việt Nam @ Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Went and check out this Michelin selected pho called Phở Việt Nam. 

    

I saw a few people eating the hot stone bowl of pho but I went for the usual one mixed beef noodles.

Food is good, I find the broth a bit mild and ch'ng. Never the less, if I'm craving a pho and this place is near the hotel, yeah why not.

Gerai Pok Nik @ Denai Alam, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.

This has become my favourite spot for nasi kukus Kelantanese style in Denai Alam. Been coming here I reckon since 7 years ago? 

My to go for would be the fried chicken or mutton. Beef is good too, haven't tried the duck though.

I got the mutton this round, portions are quite generous.

Make sure to get the sambal too, it's to die for. It may look like a simple meal but trust me the food here is like on steroids.

Palgaeook 팔계옥 @ Desa Sri Hartamas, KL, Malaysia.

Korean bbq but mostly chicken items. This is a first for me. Menu is pretty straight forward, gotta choose at least two bbq items if you're goin for the bbq. Best part, you can let the server grill it for you.

The banchan had a nice variety, I kinda like it, some I've never tried before. As usual its refillable. 

Chicken was done perfect, kudos to the server grilling it. There was two of us, was definitely a hearty meal. Good stuff.

D'Famous Zul Mee Kari (R&R Ulu Bernam) @ Tanjong Malim, Perak, Malaysia.

On the way back to KL made a pit stop here for some light meal. Friend recommended this stall this curry mee stall.

Oh yes! This is one mean bowl of curry mee, simply hits the spot. Good stuff.

Amsterdam Cafe @ Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia.

Had breakfast at this place before our departure, lovely quaint place. It's located few doors down from the hotel we stayed in which was Melur Inn Hotel.

Weather was perfect cold and with a slight damp in the air. I ordered the standard nasi lemak while my friend with an addition of da chicken rendang.

Sambal was perfect, portions were good, comes with a runny egg yolk. Love it. I tried a bit of the chicken rendang, legit was it was tasty.

Restoran Udang Galah Lubuk Hantu @ Bentong, Pahang, Malaysia.

Had an excellent lunch here in Bentong. Just some simple kampung cooking but smacking delicious.

Ayam kampong was nicely executed. Udang galah was fresh and the gravy was heavenly.

Good stuff.
