The Original Boat Noodle @ Jaya One, PJ

Recently, I have noticed many shops had opened in my area which sells (or named as) boat noodles. However, the famous and original Boat Noodle is located in TTDI. Boat Noodle also has opened several branches in Empire Damansara, Ikon Connaught, Jaya One and Publika.  So, I don't have to travel far to taste this original boat noodles. 

Let me explain briefly about the originate of boat noodles. The boat noodles is a Thai style noodle dish which has a strong flavor. It was originally served from boat (which is also known as floating market). The noodle is served in small portion, so the noodle is handle in care and not easily spill during the handover to customers.  

Since the original serving size is one or two (for those mouth are smaller) mouthful, the Boat Noodle also served the noodles in that way. So, everyone were crazy about how many bowls you can eat? For a normal guy, the minimum he can eat is 10 bowls and for a normal girl, at least 5 bowls.

Their menu. One page menu. They are limiting their menu range and focus on selling the boat noodles only. You only either choose beef or chicken. I can't eat beef due to my religion, My boyfriend being considerate, he just ordered 10 chicken boat noodles which are 5 bowls for each flavour. They have 2 flavours which are Pathumthani and Ayutthaya.

Explanation on the two flavours. Ayutthaya - "This recipe originated from the Ayutthaya province near Bangkok and has intense flavour based on a creamy dark broth with no less than 10 herbs. The broth has a consistency that is thicker than its Pathumthani cousin and has a brownish appearance." Pathumthani -  The Pathumthani recipe is a dark soy sauce derived broth and has an appetizing sourish with a delicate spicy. Made with approximately 19 herbs, it also contains generous usage of 5 spice powder, star anise and cinnamon stick."

Cha-Keow-Yen (Thai Iced Green Tea). They even have designed and used their own cups! The cup is shoo Kawaii!! (Cute!!) Hahaha. I wish they were selling this cup to public. We never tried the other recommended drinks, so far this iced green tea is nice! It does not taste very milky or very sweet like the Starbucks one.

Ayutthaya Chicken Thai Rice Noodle. See? The bowls are very small and you can swallow or stuff the noodle in one mouth.

In the bowl: rice noodle, chicken ball (like Ayamas one), scallion, some chicken meats and broth. This Ayutthaya is the non-spicy one as mentioned above are explained in the menu. The mild taste of the broth is very appetizing. I preferred this Ayutthaya broth rather than the other one.

Doesn't seems any difference, right? This is the Pathumthani Chicken Rice Noodle. I thought this one was a bit spicy one, but who knows... It is too spicy for me! (My taste bud differs from yours), Maybe I ate too much spicy food that morning breakfast and also previous night dinner. Haha. So, I let my boyfriend finished this flavour off.

The photo that everyone loves to post into Instagram and Facebook to brag off. Haha. We only ate 10 bowls.

♤ Menu: One page, simple and less choices.

♤ Food: Portion small based on its history. Chicken or beef. That's all. Prefer Ayutthaya.

♤ Beverage: Ohhh... I really love that Thai Iced Green Tea! 

♤ Environment: Less people coming to this branch. No need queue (in the afternoon). May quite hard to find its location since it was located in a corner.

♤ Price: RM1.90 per bowl. 5 bowls = RM9.50, so we only paid around RM25.90. Almost same price we paid outside there. But it will quite expensive if you can eat up to 20-30 bowls.

Hot n' Spicy Tom Yam @ Alor Setar, Kedah

Recently, I have been outstation for work purposes in Alor Setar, Kedah for 2 weeks. Since I was in a "stranger's land" (means away from home), why not I go and explore that place?

Alor Setar is a town in Kedah which is actually nearing to Thailand border. You can access the Thailand border area, Danuk if you drive from Alor Setar in approximately 2 hours. Malaysians love to go there to enjoy cheap massage or purchasing cheap food and items such as cooking utensils, clothes, bags and others. To know more, I will talk about Hatyai, Thailand in my next post. No worries!

Coming back to Alor Setar story... Since it is located quite near to Thailand border, for sure somewhere in Alor Setar, I can eat yummy yet original Thai Tom Yam (a lot Thai people came down to Malaysia to open food stall and do business).

Restaurant Siaw Kah @ Sg. Chua, Kajang

Again, I want to say, "I am so sorry for posting anything in this blog" to my readers. Actually, for past few weeks, I was busy with my company's annual dinner and I was involved in the staff competition performance. Last week, my team was so busy in preparation for the performance at The Mines Convention Centre and we always finished our practice very late night. The earliest time we able to "ciao" is only dinner (only one day, out of four days). 

So, that one day we were able to finish our practice earlier, one of my colleague suggested to go for dinner at Kajang, where he stays. We always heard from people's mouth that Kajang is famous for its satay. But we did not try the satay that day. We went for "hot soup" (in Chinese means 辣汤).

Laman Persona @ Cheroh, Raub

In my previous post (if you haven't check that out, click this: http://mylilbffs.blogspot.com/2014/07/raub-durian-orchard-raub-pahang.html), I brought some friends to visit my own hometown, Raub. Raub is a small town yet quite happening one. We have a lot place of attractions which mainly are resorts, the mother nature of waterfalls or rivers and also the orchards.
