♥Verdict: Overall, our brunch at Skinny Dip was fairly good except for a few misses in between. I’d probably give it a second chance since it is near my house.

The Cheeky Shawarma was good, yummy. It came with 2 pieces of stuffed chicken wrap. The filling consisted of flavorful seasoned chicken slices + shredded cucumber, carrot and red cabbage. Besides that, the dish was also accompanied with a side of fries and apple salad. I however, decided to add on an additional side – buttered spinach.
♥Verdict: The portion of the set we had certainly insufficient for a group of 2-3 persons, even though we are not really a big eater. As you can see, there’s only meat in the set with no other dishes like soup, noodles or rice, which undoubtedly not filling enough.
One of the staffs came over to assist us when she saw we created a mess during the flare-ups but we did most of the grilling ourselves. The quality of the meat and side dishes was alright but nothing particularly worth mentioning. It would be hard to be convinced for a revisit because I have a few better options in this area if I want a Korean BBQ meal.
Verdict: I think I’m quite “You Sek San” (a Cantonese proverb that describe a person who always surrounded by good food) in the first quarter of year 2023 because I’ve been trying a few rather awesome food which I have no hesitation to recommend to you all, Uncle Chua’s Prawn Noodle is one of them. ^ω^
Anyways, with refreshed eyes and unbiased taste buds – we checked out Restoran De’ Champion Duck here in Bandar Menjalara. And yes – can confirm that the duck here is still superb!
Verdict: I can’t comment much about the authenticity of the Kuey Teow Soup Noodles but as far as the food is concerned, we like what we ordered. An ideal place to head to for some simple comfort food, especially Penangites who miss their hometown food.
Leng Zhai Bak Kut Teh is a BKT restaurant run by 2 young chaps and serving good hearty porky broths is their main focus.
♥Verdict: Overall, it was a fairly good dinner session, with two out of three of our food belong to the category of ‘I won’t regret ordering’ and the service was friendly too.
Though it has been some time ago before my revisit, there must be something memorable about this place that got me remembering it till now- and unmistakably is their porky dish, yum. So we settled down quickly for some cuppa and savoury. We skipped the sweets as the day was still tad early, haha.
Classic Beef Burger (MYR 17) Never say no to fluffily fried spiced fries- my all time fave!
♥Verdict: Although the food was not on a stellar level but Foo Hou Dim Sim still a good place to head to for some pipping hot Dim Sum. The spacious interior and the attentive service warrant repeat visits too.

The Steamed Har Gao Dumpling comes with the pulpy huge fresh prawns in it which is just superbly good. They are really fresh and delicious.
Would we come back? Yes – if we are in the area. Eden had enough well-executed dishes to warrant a return visit. In particular, we would definitely order the siu mai, har gao, fish ball, clam dumplings, spare ribs and woo kok.
One of the few remaining surviving Dim Sum restaurants in Kepong is this one; offering Dim Sum from early morning to before mid-night! Eden Dim Sum also have another location presence in Bukit Tinggi, Klang.
A couple of items that Eden does right are: Siu Mai (both premium and normal version), Lala Mai, Char Siew Puff, Snow Crab Stick (imitation type) dim sum and fried carrot cake. The rest are pretty run of the mill standard that neither impress nor disappoint.
Reasons to visit Café Deli by El Meson: Portions are generous; bright, relaxed and attractive setting; easy to satisfy many taste preferences; lovely freshly baked pastries; menu suited to all-day-dining; don’t miss the Salad Niçoise.
♥Verdict: Overall, the food was fairly good which we rather enjoyed it and the ambiance was on point! I’d probably pay a revisit to check out the remainder of the menu, especially the platters.

Jibby by the Park is probably the prettiest restaurant in town. We really enjoyed the wide-open space and greenhouse-inspired interior.
Jibby Big Breakfast RM35 Portion is huge, a platter of artisan chicken sausage, beef bacon, mushroom, sauteed kale & onion, falafel hashbrown, rosated tomato and sour dough. Enough to fit two if you are small eater.
♥Verdict: To be honest, the price range was on the higher side but Kenny Hills Bakery is a good place to spend a meal on, nonetheless. A worthy addition to my growing list of breakfast cafe, perhaps I should try their baked good on my next visit.

Roasted Chicken Pesto Pasta at MYR 40++ (10% service charge and 6% SST = MYR 46.40 nett). There are many roasted pine nuts in it so it is very tasty with the pesto sauce and not salty. The chicken meat has a very strong chicken taste.
I especially like the rich buns. The peeling of the steamed buns is obvious.
This time I experienced good food and service.
[Pork-free] Opened by a group of neighbors who share a passion for baking, Baker Next Door offers pretty pies and rustic sourdough bread.
Awww... One of the meal served. It is Yaki Buta Hamburg Don - RM20.90, the grilled Pork with rice. When bite it, the taste is quite nice and delicious.
With decent pricing and good portions, Just Nyonya proves to be a solid place for Nyonya food. Flavours are solid for most dishes with top favorites of mine that includes Perut Ikan, Chicken Kapitan, Sweet Potato Leaf Masak Lemak Keledek, Asam Prawns and more. There are also set lunch with very decent pricing and I spied Nyonya Laksa on the menu too. I will definitely be back to try other dishes on their menu!
Verdict: Food here is flavorful with loads of spice and aroma to entice me for a return. Good food with affordable pricing, Just Nyonya definitely a hidden gem at Kepong area that I will highly recommend! Oh ya, don’t forget to check out their set lunch priced at very decent price and I’m eyeing on the Nyonya Laksa, anyone joining me?
Chicken Curry Kapitan, which is a harmonious blend of tangy tamarind, creamy coconut milk and a variety of herbs and spices.
BaWangChaJi, despite their visual elegance, is not an affront to your wallet. They are priced similarly to other tea shops that I’ve seen so you’re not paying more for a fancy printed cup here. Their tea macchiatos and Snowy Series are very unique and would be what draws me into one of their locations again. These drinks are very rich and heavy, but if I could stomach it, I would return to BaWangChaJi.

Triple ‘Q’ Ness Tau Foo Fah, 9.50 ringgit The fixed combo I went for includes a nice portion tau foo fah, topped with matcha balls + taro + black pearls. The taro and matcha balls were nice, it had the perfect equilibrium between soft, gooey and chewy, chunky. The pearls however were not as soft as I’d like them to be. Perhaps it was not boiled/ soaked long enough?? It would have been nice if it was a lil softer. It kindda defeats the purpose of the whole dessert because rather than truly being able to enjoy the dessert, here you are spending half the time trying to chew the pearls. A lil softer would be nice. Other than that, It was a good dessert, I enjoyed it.
The food I had here is really good. All of it.
Judging by the crowd that morning, I think this is probably one of the more popular restaurants for tasty yong tau foo and I can certainly see why. The yong tau foo, though slightly pricier than some other shops at RM1.50/pc, is still worth the price as it's also a lot bigger (and with plump fillings). As I'm not familiar with the food in Kepong, I don't know how good this yong tau foo is (compared to the rest in this area) but I find it to be pretty decent (compared to some of those I've had elsewhere) and I definitely wouldn't mind coming again for just that...and to try more of their cooked dishes (especially the Hakka dishes).
