Tropicana City Mall has became one of our Friday lunch places. This is a new mall, located at SS2 area. Within this mall, our colleagues introduced us to this shop that serves good quality coffee. They also have this huge donut, that tastes very similar to the one sold at Starbucks, but with a much bigger version.

The shop is named as “Bad Ass Coffee”. When we first saw this shop name whenever we passes by the mall, we would always question ourselves. Would the shop ever survive with a name like this? Haha. Unfortunately, yes. And its kind of crowded during lunch. Why? I think most are attracted by their reasonably priced set lunches.

Our favorite dish from this shop is their beef burger. Trust us, the portion is huge. The beef steak is grilled till perfection and has a very nice BBQ fragrant. The burger is layered with veges, tomatoes and a thick piece of sweet juicy pineapple. Its also served with fries.

Other dishes from this shop are such as the foot long sausage, varieties of pasta and sandwiches. All sets of meal comes with BIG donut and Kona Coffee / Fruit Juice. Why wait, head over there to try it out.

A friend introduced us to this place. He said that the wan tan noodles here taste closest to those in Muar. PP and I decided to go for our first attempt.

Well, to our satisfactory, it does taste like those in Muar. At least it doesn’t come with those soy sauce taste. One thing that I’m not quite satisfied is their noodle is not cooked properly. Some parts of their noodle is still springy and hard. Their version of the wan tan noodle is more on the dry side.

I think if they cook this noodle softer with a bit more sauce it’ll be as perfect as Muar’s wan tan noodles. Hehe. Anyway, the plate of dry wan tan noodle comes with char siew, vegetables and a small bowl of soup with some wan tan in it.

Hmm.. I wonder, do they sell those red type of wan tan noodles here in KL? This type of noodle is somehow mixed with ketchup and chilli and it has chicken meat flosses. This is the best! Only get to eat this when we go back to Muar again.. Yum, makes me drool by even thinking and blogging about it.

Wong Kok is one of the early days Hong Kong style restaurant in Malaysia. At a point of time, this restaurant is very competitive with Kim Gary. We do have some of our favorites there, waxed meat rice and their fried nissin noodle with pork in cubes.

This time round however, we’ll introduce some of their new dish. PP had chosen their mantis shrimp vegetable rice while I had chosen the XO fried nissin noodle. The mantis shrimp rice tastes just so-so. It’s shrimp wasn’t the meaty type, biting into it, you can only taste all the MSG flour covered prawn. I doubt that there’s much of prawn meat in it.

As for my XO fried nissin noodle, I don’t think I’m gonna order it again. Honestly, I don’t really know what a good XO sauce tastes like. After tasting this XO noodle for the first time, it makes me wonder why KC likes XO fried rice that much. In my opinion, this XO sauce is no difference from the normal oyster hoi sin sauce, only on the spicy side. My plate of noodle is too huge, it makes me feel full after seeing it.

I don’t really like this restaurant now. I still felt that Kim Gary has better food that can match our taste bud. Even though Wong Kok has a menu with a lot of varieties to choose from, sadly I couldn’t find one good food that makes me want to go back there and eat again.
