BAK KUT TEH - RESTAURANT SEM KIM

My husband worked late again and he called me for supper (but his dinner) while I was still sleeping...........about 1.00 am. I was very sleepy and not hungry at all but my husband is a very busy person and I want to spend more time with him alone, so I don't mind dark circle around my eyes the next day.



We went to this BKT restaurant in Jalan Ipoh called 'Restoran Sem Kim'. Actually this restaurant has been around for many years. I still remember my Dad brought us here for BKT when all of us were still children. Those days this BKT restaurant was called Kim Seng and was run by the elder brother. But when the elder brother passed away, the younger brother took over.



You see the cross on the wall, this restaurant owner is a Christian and this restaurant is opened from 5.00pm to 6.00am everyday, even on Chinese New Year.
Here are what we order, as usual the ribs, intestines in one pot and served with others like coriander leaves, yu char kuih, taufu pok, fu chuk and the dark colour one is fried shallots and finely chopped chai poh that you mix with rice. You can order a bowl of pig's stomach in pepper soup and they have Vegetables with Oyster Sauce as side order.


If you like the dark and thick kind of Bak Kut Teh, this is not the place. As my husband likes the BKT soup lighter and milder with coriander leaves sprinkled in the soup, he finds the meal satisfying. As for me, I like both.........light or strong.

THE YE CHINE RESTAURANT @ JLN DORAISAMY

My husband is a very busy person. He works seven days a week, 16 hours per day. Luckily his working hour is flexible and he will make time to take the family out for meals or holidays. Yesterday he took us to The Ye Chine Restaurant in Jalan Doraisamy (behind Sheraton Imperial Hotel) for dinner.

We were greeted by two terracotta at the entrance. There are a few sections in the restaurant ie bar, outdoor (for smoking) and indoor dining. There are two restaurants attached; one Italian and the other Japanese. After dinner, there is a pub on the first floor.





Hubby ordered Roasted Pork and Duck Breast. The Siu Yoke was crispy and the Duck Breast was delicious. But I find the Char Siew too fat and sweet for my liking.

This Fried Carrot Cake with XO Sauce was yummy. It covered with bonito flakes and my kids love it.

Spicy Sze Chuan Wanton..............yummy!

As my children were too hungry, this photo was taken when some of the food was half way thru their stomach. The Shanghai Xiu Loong Bao were served individually in a small plate for easy handling. The Chee Cheong Fun was not smooth enough but the filling was generous.
The Fried Rice Shrimp was served in a big plate with some lemon sauce as base and sprinkled with some sesame seeds.
Finally, my son ordered this Grass Jelly.................a bit sourish but very refreshing!

Vanilla Ice Cream with chunk of mango, melon and kiwi fruit.
Also vanilla ice cream with dragon fruit puree!

Overall this is a nice place to go for a family dinner or a place you may want to impress your the other half on your first date.

black t-shirt

ROLLER
BLACK T-SHIRT

My husband and I have many black t-shirt because they make us look slimmer !! But after washing them, they look old/dirty becoz of this white fine hairy thing sticking on them and I always get rid of them with a roller. I have tried washing just one black t-shirt alone but the end result is still the same. Whatever is it, we still like to wear our black t-shirt, it is just like a little black dress every girl should have in her wardrobe.

I have been reading other people blogs for quite a long time and I enjoy reading most of them. So, I thought I should start my own blog and share some of the things in my life with you. My computer skill is not very good, I learn mostly thru trial and error.........so guys be patience!
