Brunch @ ROOM 18

Once when my grands came to visit from Ipoh, my eldest sis treat us to have lunch at the newly popular Room Eighteen (拾八风味) at Tropicana City Mall.


This is my whole family. The elders are my mother's side grands. The pretty one in jacket is my eldest sis that do not live with us.


We ordered many different dishes and shared so that we can taste more types. Their special chillie sauce enhance the taste of all the food.


One of their on going promotion at that time is giving out this offer voucher to the first 50 customer. We manage to get 3. Very cheap so we order all 3, pretend can't finish then tapau back. This is one of their recommended dish that should be try.


Another must try dish at this type of restaurant is Xiao Long Bao (原味小笼包). Four piece for RM8.80. I think the soup inside is a little too thick.


People will be attracted to the name, World's No.1 Bun (天下第一包). For me, this two bun that cost RM3.80 only taste like normal Char Siu Bao, nothing special.


Our only main course, Seafood Congee (拾八风味粥). It's yummy but i don't think it worth RM12.80.


Salt & Pepper Squid (椒盐脆鲜鱿) - RM9.80. Crunchy & salty...


Chinese Spinach in soup (芫菜) that cost the same with the porridge (RM12.80). Hmm... Which one more not worth it?



Delicious dim sum time.... Crispy Egg Tart (RM3.80), Yam Taro Puff (RM4.80), Steam Rice Flour Roll a.k.a Zhu Chang Fen (RM10.80)


Black Pepper Chicken Feet (RM3.80) & Steam Pork Ribs (RM5.80). Meat very tender...


What i like the most is the tea comes in individual glass so we can choose our own favourite tea without sharing. But of course the price is not cheap, RM2.00 per glass (refillable).

Dragon Fruit Heaven

It's time for me to update my blog again as someone keep saying my processor too slow. Well, my post are not going to be my latest updates but some of the interesting things that i have done mostly last year & some this year. Hope you enjoy.....


Somewhere at Sepang, a nice dragon fruit farm is hidden there. Not really hidden but usually only tour groups or regular customers will visit this farm. It's not a big farm but they sell everything that is made from dragon fruit with cheaper price.


Multi Rich Pitaya Sdn Bhd have a very friendly and nice boss who will give you try out all his products as much as you like even without any purchase.


Yeah, no big deal seeing & eating dragon fruits. But have you try eating the fruit fresh at its farm? Choose & eat till you drop before deciding to purchase or not. How cool is that?





Up close & personal with the legendary dragon fruit farm. Can't believe that such "beautiful" (for me its ugly & scary) plant & fruit contain such high value (in terms of nutrition & price). Too bad the time of our visit was not fruit season or else the view will be more nice.



Another star at this place is the passion fruit. I have heard of passion fruit but never seen before. It taste sour but in a sweet way. According to the boss, the more ugly & wrinkled, the more sweet it taste. All the yellow part including the seeds can be eaten, that's why feel kinda weird like crunching sticky seeds.



Passion fruit plants.


They call it "miracle fruit" here. People at Cameron Highland have different name for it. What so miracle is that once you eat this, all the extreme sour fruits like passion fruit will feel very sweet in your mouth and tongue. No kidding, really miracle.


Enzyme are very popular now. According to the boss, dragon fruits' enzyme contain many many goodness until I don remember what. So my "healthy" family won't miss the chance & bought 2 nicely pack bottles of dragon fruits' enzyme. I don't even like the fruit so I don't like & won't drink its nasty taste enzyme (just pretending in the photo).


Sweet & fresh juice anyone? No added sugar, artificial or other ingredients.


Although i don't like dragon fruit, but whatever made into cooling ice-cream will be nice.


Kinda not related but they sell Japan sweet potato as well.


If you are too full after eating all those products, don't worry, there is clean toilets build specially for customers.
