Nasi Ayam RM 7.00

(Lunch)

It's just like Komatra never left me.
Double sauces, the soup, the duo slice of veges, and the chicken, feat. small bones.
Can I ask them to not chop it up?

Home Cooked Meal RM 6.785

(Dinner)

First cooked meal in Lakefront.
The taste was good, albeit like they said the vege needs some mouth work.

  • Lotuss Sawi Pak Choy Cameron 200g - 1.99
  • Ayamas Premium Frankfurthers (Mushroom) 235g - 5.69
  • Naturel Pure Olive Oil 250ml - 16.30

  • Bawang Merah Besar (298g) - 1.46
  • Chicken Fillet (580g) - 9.91

Total cost: 108.56

Yea no I feel like serving for 4 at home is more than serving for 5 here.
Granted it's with different people and budget, so I can't compare that.

EDIT @ 14/8/2024: Splitted cost with here and there.
EDIT @ 20/8/2024: Further splitted cost, with rounding adjust.
EDIT @ 21/8/2024: More.

Nasi Campur [Dapur Chilli] RM 12.00

(Lunch)

    The chicken sauce is quite nice, the price is quite close to Sky Malaysia.
    I should ask for a breakdown of the price next time, the price list they had is a little "off" for me.

Kuey Teow Goreng [Sky Malaysia] RM 7.00

(Dinner)

Decent enough, think of Nasi Goreng Biasa, but exchange the rice for kuey teow.
Of course, it can't top the usual Chinese ones, but it's alright in my books.
As in, it can be ordered again.

14 Aug 2024 (Wednesday)

Nasi Goreng Cina [Sky Malaysia] RM 8.00

(Lunch)

...Isn't this just Nasi Goreng Pattaya without the egg?
Like you have the "tricolour beans" as well as chicken, what more do you offer? Fried onions?
I'd recommend to order the Pattaya instead if that's the case.

Home Cooked Meal RM 6.785

(Dinner)

For todays meal:

  • Potatoes with onions
  • Chicken Fillets
  • Vegetable that's 1 persons filling at my home
  • Scrambled eggs
Overheard they cooked 5.5 cups of rice, which is ample enough for everyone I suppose.

"I'm just cleaning up leftovers not wanting to be fat"

EDIT @ 20/8/2024: Splitted cost with here and there.
EDIT @ 21/8/2024: Further splitted cost.

15 Aug 2024 (Thursday)

Kuey Tiaw/Maggi Goreng [IZ Kitchen] RM 5.00

(Lunch)

So it is you, last I had you was 12 June.
I wonder if they serve 1.5 portion, since 1 is kinda not enough to me.

Roti Kahwin [Sky Malaysia] RM 4.00

(Dinner)

Curry is good, dhal is like any other dhal, but the sambal is a little funny.
Sweet? Burnt? Unsure, but still edible.

Also you'd need more dhal and curry, they run out quite quickly.

19 Aug 2024 (Monday)

Mixed Rice [Mama Homecook Mixed Rice] RM 7.50

(Lunch)

Patel: Ever since coming Lakefront we wouldn't go here anyways, so why get the discount card?
Meow: Alright let's go there then!
"okay wow"

Ty for the parking fee

Nasi Goreng Sosej [Sky Malaysia] RM 8.00

(Dinner)

It contains chicken as well?

  • Nasi Goreng Sosej - 7.00
  • Tambah Nasi - 1.00
Oh yeah just realised the cucumber is gone.

20 Aug 2024 (Tuesday)

Instant noodles "Free"

(Lunch)

First time cooking here, let's see what I did...

  • Buttoning the new induction cooker
  • Have water sizzle out from said cooker like an explosion
  • Have more water flow out of it making a smol mess
So anyways, as long as I don't add the Kapitan flavoured seasoning packet, I should be fine.
Additional sausage from above.
Not bold enough today to cook an egg, refer above incidents.

There was only 1 egg left, the last guy ate it.
That reminds me, do I count it as an expenditure, or no?

Home Cooked Meal RM 6.785

(Dinner)

Todays meal:

  • Roasted Pork (courtesy of me home)
  • Sliced potatoes with red onions
  • Lotuss Hot + Spicy Tempura Nugget (Airfryer) x2
  • Cabbage with various cooking sauces Not sure how to write it out
There should probably be yet another split incoming, we shall see if home cooked meals is truly cheaper than eating cheap outside. EDIT @ 21/8/2024: Splitted cost with here and there.

21 Aug 2024 (Wednesday)

Nasi Ayam Penyet [Sky Malaysia] RM 9.00

(Lunch)

Soup is peppery, potentially tastes like the Nasi Bujang soup.
The chili dipping sauce is similar to Warung Membawangs, just need a little get used to.
The chicken is edible, but a little "flattened". It also changes colour from time to time.
The crackers got replaced with cabbage, at least from my observation.

Home Cooked Meal RM 6.785

(Dinner)

Todays meal:

  • Roasted Pork (courtesy of me home)
  • Otak-otak (courtesy of me home)
  • Omelette
  • Lotuss Hot + Spicy Tempura Nugget (Airfryer) x2
  • Cabbage with various cooking sauces Not sure how to write it out
Would there be yet another tomorrow?

22 Aug 2024 (Thursday)

Nasi Kandar [HTC] RM 8.50

(Lunch)

How long have I not have you?
Blessed to be the same price.

Set Ayam Penyet Dada [Restoran Indorasa] RM 12.50

(Dinner)

Warung Membawang is better for the price, but otherwise this is fine.
They accept cash only though.

Maybe I shouldn't had come here should I know there'd be food there at BlackBerry.

26 Aug 2024 (Monday)

Nasi Campur [Royal Tandoori] RM 8.50

(Lunch)

The price is the same as HTC, but my friends who chose spaghetti arent so lucky with the price.
Food is good, but they probably slightly hid the white rice as a "marketing tactic" to spend on other carbs.

Zinger Cheezy Box [Food delivery] RM 11.25

(Dinner)

The KFC here is better than my place I guess.
What prompted them to order was simple, just a "Buy 1 Free 1".

27 Aug 2024 (Tuesday)

Instant noodles "Free"

(Lunch)

I guess every Tues is instant noodles day.
Today was kinda an improvement.

  • Added prepacked oil (half) into noodle boiling water
  • Water didn't overflow
  • Cooked an egg (semi success) without causing any mess
  • Meal is still hot (added some remaining noodle boiling water)

Pizza Hut [Food delivery] RM 11.00

(Dinner)

Suprisingly, tastes better than home.

  • Aloha Chicken
  • Chicken Pepperoni
2 Regulars, 4 slices per person. Firefly wasn't having any.

28 Aug 2024 (Wednesday)
