Friday morning, received a message from Yat inviting me to join him and his gang for lunch at Super Kitchen, and as I’ve not been there before (I always go to Kin Kin across the road), I decide to go ahead and head down there.
After a couple of ding dong messages over Innit’s Chat Box and found out that KY had to travel back to his home in PJ, I decide to meet up with him to travel down to Chow Kit to meet up with Yat and his gang (start to sound like a big time Gangster eh?).

If you’re looking for a fast food restaurant but not the conventional ones, here’s one you could look at. The place is known as Restaurant Chicken Hot Pot. They presently have 2 branches, the 1st is in Kuchai Lama and the 2nd one is located at Kepong. I do travel to Kepong quite often and it’s a surprise that I’ve not really seen this restaurant there despite it being there for a year plus (since March 2007). With Cheesie and Freaky to tag along with me, this is where we experience fast food like never before, well for me that is.
Why do I call it fast food? Well, when you walk into the restaurant, the place is lined with photos of various dishes you could order. There’s 5 main dishes and a number of side dishes that you can choose from. As there’s only 5 main dishes to focus on, their kitchen can prepare and have it ready in a jiffy, hence the fast food concept.
I was recommended 3 dishes by the boss of the place and as soon as I’ve placed my order, the food was served all within the time span of less than 3 minute. It’s fast!
The first one served was the signature dish, the Chicken Hot Pot. Its tender chicken served in a pot of the famous sauce that’s used across all the Chicken Hot Pot chain. You can choose from 3 levels of spiciness depending on how you hot you want it to be. The nice thing here is, the chicken used here isn’t your normal chicken that is used by most restaurant and fast food chains but are free range chickens which are high quality chickens when you talk about chicken meat.
The next dish that came out was the Dinosaur Ribs. Basically its pork ribs cooked in gravy, which tasted like TGIF’s lamb shanks if you’ve tasted it before. The ribs are so well cooked that when you bite into the meat, you can just rib the bone out with ease. Now, just like the chicken dish, the dinosaur ribs are cooked in imported sauces and spices straight from China. After all, this restaurant chain is from China. Again, you can choose from 3 levels of spiciness as well for this dish.
The final dish served was the Scandalously Spicy Shrimp, with only 1 choice of spice level, you can’t really go wrong with it. I love my prawns and I totally clean out this dish despite it above my tolerance level. Now, you might think with these 3 dishes, that’s it for the dishes right? Well, you’re wrong. The other secret these 3 bowls of dishes have is that you could pour in soups pre-prepared by the restaurant into the bowls and you could select from their side dish collection vegetables, meat balls and meat ingredients to put in and make it into a steamboat dish.
It’s very different from the usual type of steamboat or hot pot we eat and it’s worth several visits. I’m definitely going back again as the owner of the local franchise informed me that I should make another trip back for their fish head dish which is locally made but is endorsed by the head office in China.
Price range for the Hot Pot? For a small Bowl, it’s RM16, medium sized is RM22 and the large bowl is RM30. The Scandalously Spicy Shrimp only comes in a medium sized bowl though. The side dishes ranges in prices depending on the type you pick.

It’s just one of those days where I was lazy to cook and there’s no food testing to attend, so what do we do on such a day? Check with people we know and see who want to go for grab some dinner. Right?
i asked for “LOU FU!” (Tiger) and they gave me this instead. 
I did just that last night after I came back from a long meeting feeling hungry and found no food at home. Got myself seated in front of the TV and went about online asking who’d like to go for a quick bite.
The Nuffnang Counter-Strike Team stocking up before their big training
Timothy of Nuffnang heard my hunger cry and invited me to join him and the other Nuffies for dinner and that’s how I landed myself at Restaurant Long Fong in Taman Paramount. It’s also a sort of a dinner to welcome the new staff that joined Nuffnang, Miss Pinky…. (wonder if she’d post juicy gossips from the Nuffnang office on her blog…)
So is Pinky the cheerleader for the Nuffnang Team?
Anyway, Yee Hou and Nick arrived first and we placed the order with the waitress before the rest of the people showed up. What We had for dinner includes…. a Roast duck, 2 type of noodles, 1 vegetable and 1 Guinness Pork Ribs. Where’s the freaking photos of the food? I wasn’t happy with the photos that I took so ain’t going to post any up. Anyway, thanks guys for letting me join you all for dinner. For all you people who’s participating in the CS competition… watch out for these guys…. they are good… Just need to get their teamwork brushed up and “FIRE IN THE HOLE!”

A few days back, with work piling up, I decide not to go out for breakfast but instead, cook us something simple for brunch so that I could just stay in and finish up my work. So I decided on Macaroni, unlike the italian style where you have cheese and all that. I’m keeping mine simple.
