Friday Night...Work

Its Friday night...I can hear the pub goers outside having fun but I am still working in office...waiting for some designs to pop outta the designers.

I miss the corporate world actually...and its only 3 months into agency life for me.Well at least I can blog in the office I guess XD

Let me introduce the 2 essential items on my workstation which are my lifesavers/mental stabilizers:


1. My cuppa coffee

Whenever I need some wake up call, this great friend of mine would always be around. Average intake: 3 mugs per day
















2. Cancer on a stick

My lifesaver/detresser...now before you tree huggers start bitching, this is whats keeping me sane throughout the stressful life I am in right now, so piss off!!!

















Emo time is over, back to work.

I wish you guys a very good happy hour session :)

And for those who are still working, you are always welcomed to join me for a puff or two.


Doggyjames aint gonna say anything now

Seng Kee, China Town KL

Another midnight gem in the middle of KL, this time, I finally had the chance to sample one of the most famous lou shu fun (老鼠粉) stores in KL. So whats so great about staying up till 3am then have supper at some old building infested with rodents & roaches you ask? Haha like what I always say: A good meal in Malaysia is supposed to give you a nice diarrhea the morning after...*ehem* anyways...

This place is very easy to spot, as the tables fill up the streets at night. We were very lucky to be able to grab a seat big enough for all, as there were dozen upon dozens of clubbers/drinkers/too-bored-ers around at that time.


































The must try here would be their lou shu fun, which is served in a claypot loaded with a generous amount of minced pork & a raw egg. Mix in the egg and wow, the whole dish would be immediately transform into a silky, tender, oh-so-great-i-cant-find-words-for-it experience. Definitely the star of the night this one. And it gets better. The aromatic & spicy sambal which comes along with the dish totally adds an extra dimension into the dish. Awesomeness galore!


































Another must try dish here would be their fried siu yok or roasted pork. Really, whats better than roasted pork? The answer: fried them again! XD Absolutely chewy yet tender, the frying process intensifies the natural flavours of the pork, making this a very, very yummilicious dish. I recommend chewing a piece of these heavenly gems in your mouth for at least 3 minutes, close your eyes and think happy thought....you will be in heaven in no time.


















They serve yong tau fu here as well. Although they do taste good, but I dont feel anything special about them. Maybe the first 2 dishes were just too awesome XD



















The people here were very friendly, especially the chefs which took me by surprise. They pose happily for a picture and we even stroke a few conversation together, like for a minute or so.


































The meal came to about RM70 for 8 people including drinks. Very economical in KL terms I reckon, especially for the quality of food you get!

Heres a map of the place for you readers. It is located along Jalan Sultan, opposite Kompleks Selangor.

Doggyjames says...awesome...simply awesome...I am not a big fan of lou shu fun but this I would have everyday, the roasted pork was the BOMB! as well...very happy indeed :D

Le Joyeux Bistro, USJ Taipan

If I were to design a happy lounge for heaven, it would be filled with real german pork sausages with an unlimited supply of German beer for a very very reasonable price. Well luckily I dont have to wait till I die to do that, as someone has already done that...while everyones alive that is.
Formerly known as Meatyhouse, the place is now know as Le Joyeux. This place offers some of the best sausages & meat products in town, and of course, loads of German beer. Besides the good ol' german goodness, they now serve Malaysian favourites such as roti bakar, half boiled eggs & kopi ice! Wow! Its like the perfect marriage between German tradition & Malaysian culture.



















This place has been known for their homemade sausages & other pork products. Me & a group of friends went there recently for some nice Sunday hi-tea session/sesi borak meborak lately and yes, all of us ordered the necessary processed meat products our body needed for the whole month.


Here are just some of the food offered there:

































































































































And no sausages would be complete without the house mustard. Personally, I would prefer Dijon or seeded mustard...but the ones they have, similar to American mustard, just spicier is alright.



















The cafe sells sausages and other meat products for customers to cook at home too. Just look at their wide selection of premium sausages, hams, bacons and so on. Oh, beer too :D

























































Food here cost about RM10 - RM30 for a plate of nice, juicy meat products, quite affordable for the food you get.
Heres a map & details for you readers.Le Joyeus Bistro is located in Taipan USJ, just next to Stabucks.

Doggyjames says...A fine place for USJ folks to get their fix of premium sausages in a very nice setting...not to be missed!
