Pudu!

 I love Pudu!  Pudu is an old area just beside downtown KL.  It is near Berjaya Times Square and Lalaport.  Jalan Alor and Jalan Imbi are walking distance.  Loads of food option.  ICC Pudu is like our morning market and hawker center.  ICC Pudu is closed by afternoon.  The morning hawker has several of my favorite.  The coffee and tea pretty good.  This is the stall I like.  

The other stall is the wine chicken buns.  The stall is open for business just after 6am even though the sign say 630am.  My other recommendation is the egg tarts.  I bought pork belly bak kwa for Chinese New Year and my boy and granddaughter loved them.  At Petaling Street, I also bought almond florentine.

My appetite is small in the morning.  I ate one bun and one egg tart for my train ride from KL to JB.  The balance 3 buns and 1 tart I brought home.  My daughter-in-law, son and Wife enjoyed a bun each.  My 2nd granddaughter enjoyed a little of bun's dough skin.  I am glad they get to taste the buns and the egg tart was shared by my 2nd boy and his family including my eldest granddaughter.  This is a sweet ending of my KL trip.

Johor Jaya the residential area opposite Aeon Tebrau

 Yesterday, I went to Johor Jaya with a friend.  We went trying to look for the fried chee cheong fun.  Took some searching.  We asked the local Malay student for help.  Then a Chinese woman who just drove out asked us where we going.  We told and she said the coffeeshop has fire and is closed.  Will only open tomorrow.  She also said the food is not nice as it is very oily and recommended Toast instead.  It is true, we found the place and it was cooking spring onion.  The tables and chairs are all new.  The coffeeshop is right beside Durian stall.  We found the durian price is quite high.

Toast Kopitiam food is quite good.  So I ordered takeaway Nasi Lemak with Chicken Merah and Fried beehoon with Chicken Chop.  Both are quite good but the beehoon taste of fermented balachan.  So, I think I will skip fried beehoon in future.  

To reach Johor Jaya, we have to go to underground pass as we were on the opposite side of the highway.  It is my first time.  We walk a long way from Aeon Tebrau, so I was getting worried that we will given wrong direction.  But my friend said he trusted the guy who gave us the direction.  Eventually, we found the underpass!
