so..i was hanging around the seri petaling area yesterday evening and i chanced upon this new section that i've never really noticed before ...wahhhhhh...so many many new eateries there..every shoplot was a cafe or restaurant of some sort..it was approximately a kilometre long from one end to the other..well almost.. and deciding what food to eat was like the most difficult decision i've ever had to make in my life..!!
being a penangite, i had to try out this place called the chopper board cafe. it had the word penang below the cafe name and so i assumed they served penang fare..and of course i ordered the char koay teow. it came out looking like it had all the necessary ingredients for a good plate of ckt.. tastewise, it was quite good, had good wok-hei...but something was missing..?? maybe lard wasnt used for the cooking...and despite my asking for my ckt to be fried with extra chilli, it did not give me a fiery taste and the friendly waiter offering me sambal to add just wasnt quite right..not the way penang ckt is eaten. a friend tried their noodle soup which was deceptively tasty.. i had thought that his noodles came out of a maggi packet but i was wrong..all in all, it's a good place to have some decent penang hawker fare..i must check out their curry mee and prawn mee next time..
seeing so many cafes in one place got me uncontrollably excited..so i forced my friends to crash another cafe right after..this one i have read about on some foodie blogs..restaurant herbs & spices. the pictures on the walls were just too tempting..i got sucked in by some magnetic force..hehei ordered a plate of hainanese chicken chop to be shared..and it was good..the chicken was fresh, and tender on the inside and so so crispy on the outside. i didnt need the accompanying sauce to enjoy it.. it was so good..but i was too full to finish it or to even think about ordering any other dishes..next time will go try this place again..
