Char Kuey Teow (Big) [Restoran EFJC] RM 9.00

(Lunch)

Permas kidnapped me here again. This place has A/C, but lacks space during lunch rush hour.

• Fish cake, cockles, pork lard
• 3 prawns

Food is good. And there's other stalls that could pique my interest.

Mixed Rice [Double D Restaurant] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

Thought of eating something less heaty, and I kinda promised myself to come here again.
Asked for a price breakdown once I paid.

• Rice + wild boar curry: 2.50 (it's just curry though I swear I'm not hiding anything)
• Kangkung (slightly more than 1 scoop): 2.50
• Fried chicken drumstick: 5.00

Somehow S11 is cheaper? But I guess here is less "mass produced".
I should ask for more rice next time.

Char Kuey Teow (Big) [Double D Restaurant] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

This stall usually doesn't open, so let's try it.

• 1 Chinese sausage
• 2 prawns & fishcake
• 6 cockles
• Tauge, Egg, Chives?

Good food, chinese sausage is especially rare nowadays in CKT.
Inb4 I'm becoming a CKT connoisseur.

Red Kolo Mee (S) [Double D Restaurant Puchong] RM 9.00

(Lunch)

Thinking of how red one tastes like, may have made a fumble by not specifying I wanted big.
The meal is otherwise fine still. Almost the same? As a regular kolo.

Now to see how hangry I'll be when my shift end. Can't be as bad as nasi lemak.

Mixed Rice [Double D Restaurant] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

Wanting to try how they price food. Got kinda ignored when I asked about breakdown, though heard what I got charged for (item wise).

• 2? scoops of wild boar curry (with meat this time)
• 3? tongs of Romaine Lettuce?
• Rice, added a bit, then reduced a bit

I was still charged as if I added the original add rice. I assume it'd be 9 without.
Maybe let's keep the rice, and take more rice per chomp.

Char Siew Rice [Soon Hing Bdr Puteri] RM 9.60

(Lunch)

Somehow Double Ds Pork is more expensive, even accounting for tax. Came here instead.
There's 6 char siews, with mini bits around. Soup is nice, butter rice & chili is goated.

• Char Siew Rice (Big) - 9.00
• Tax 6% - 0.54
• Rounding Adj. - 0.01
• They didn't give me a 5 sen - 0.05

These are confusing times, a restaurant, with tax, is cheaper than a food court, without tax.
I should've used my GX, that way my 5 sen wouldn't go flying, and I'd get 1 sen cashback.

Kolo Mee (B) [Double D Restaurant Puchong] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

Exacting "revenge" on the small. Finished this in around 10 minutes as opposed to the around 6 minutes for the small.
6 slices of pork was fine, and somehow it's the red version? Oh well.

Sesame Chicken Rice [Double D Restaurant Puchong] RM 9.00

(Lunch)

Since it's available, why not try it.
It feels the same, maybe slightly better because it's a drumstick. Unsure if thigh is included since the hanging display also had it.

Worth the +rm1 over regular chicken? I guess, we shall see if I can request for certain cuts after this.

Wan Tan Mee? (Dry) (B) [Double D Restaurant Puchong] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

This stall usually didn't open back then, so I wanna try it out.
Initially ordered 'BBQ & Minced Pork Hakka Mee (Dry)', though I was told he ran out of minced pork. I didn't mind.
It end up becoming wantan mee, with the noodles swapped to hakka mee. What.

• 3 fried wan tan: they're good
• Char Siew: also ok
• 2 Romaine Lettuce leaves
• Soup is fine

A bit weird I should say, not sure what I should write this as. It's closer to wantan mee than whatever I wrote above.

Mixed Rice [Double D Restaurant] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

"Aunty charged you 10 when I supposed to charge you 11", which then I asked for the price breakdown.

• 7+1 chicken pieces: 6
• 1 full tong of kangkung: 3
• Add rice: 3 (with wild boar curry I suppose)

...Maam, that's 12. But sure.
It's nice and filling, and I'm still left with 2 pieces remaining.

Nasi Goreng Kampung [3V's Bistro Nasi Kandar] RM 9.00

(Lunch)

Thinking to get a 8.50 cheap meal, it's 9 now. Regular is also 6.50, which is a whole ringgit increase.
It's still flavourful, I'd give it credit for that. But the price is still quite high vs Dapo.

• Long beans, vege, carrot, onion, garlic, sliced chilis
• Egg, Anchovies
• ...No meat?

Okay, now this is getting... out of hand. 黑店. No meat and it dares charge way more than dapo? Even the one at Double D is more worth as it has an egg.
Though maybe, just maybe, I could try the nasi lemak as your final grace. 2.50 for 1 pack, so maybe 2 packs should fill me?

Char Kuey Teow + Noodles (B) [Double D Restaurant] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

I don't want to commit fully to a different type of noodle, so let's try this hybrid for now.

• 2 prawns & fishcake
• 6 cockles
• Tauge, Egg, Chives

Compared to the previous one, it lacks 1 slice of chinese sausage?

Roasted Chicken Thigh Rice [Ramai Food Centre] RM 8.00

(Lunch)

Kidnapped by the permas again, don't have to fuss over lunch.
I tried the CKT before, let's try the chicken rice.
It isn't as good compared to Double D.

• Bones: everywhere
• Chili: sour
• Soup: fine

I should try soup based meals.

Mixed Rice [Double D Restaurant] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

The Sarawak noodle shop is closed, oh well, back to you then.

• 9 pieces of fried pork, with 1 that's kinda a combined one
• 1 tongful of fresh vege (just came out when I arrived), with an additional forkful as belanja'ed by Aunty
• Wild boar curry (just the curry)
• Regular rice, no add on

Aunty rizz, somehow the reviews aren't that kind to her though. Then again her prices can't compare with M.H.M.R
Trying the not so high review mixed rice restaurant at the far corner next?

Set C [BP72 Mixed Rice] RM 9.50

(Lunch)

Double D is closed, so why not here, might as well see if it lives up to it's reputation (of low star rating).
Ordered Set C, as it was looking promising (priced less than 3 sisters). They helped serve me instead of me self service.

• Rice: 1 full scoop
• Fried Chicken: can choose between thigh or drumstick, typical chain mixed rice taste
• Mixed curry: is nice, in a bowl so won't pre-mix with rice
• Cabbage: nice as well, similar to HSHs one?
• Sambal thingy: melayu style, not really my taste, anchovies are air-ed

Huh, not that bad overall. Then again no one really rated here for their set meals, only actual mixed rice.
Let's try the actual mixed rice next month then, to prevent dent in my sub 10.00.

Dry Mee Poh (B) [Double D Restaurant] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

It's open. I wanted to try their Dry Kweh Tiaw, but he don't have it.
This noodle is kinda sticking to each other. And the meat/etc is the same like other noodles.

I'd like to try the Dry Wantan Noodles, but that costs 11.

Chicken Rice [Double D Restaurant Puchong] RM 8.00

(Lunch)

So engrossed in my work I forgot lunch hour came. Decided to have chicken rice to taste compare with Ramais.
I stand corrected, here is indeed better than there.

• Bones: at least it's in 1 piece, also has suckable deliciousness
• Chili: spicy more than sour
• Soup: yummers

Then again, I'm comparing breast with thigh.

Fried Kuay Teow [Double D Restaurant] RM 9.00

(Lunch)

Been a while since I tried this stall.
Spicy at first bite, but somehow back to normal thereafterwards, and a little wet.

• Cabbage, carrot strips, diced vege
• Chicken meat pieces, egg
• 2 prawns
• Unsure how the chili pairs here, but it's fine. Same for lime

One third remains. RM 760.89

Afterthoughts, 30 Sep:
Survived yet another month, with 1 more month remaining. An intern left, another immediately replaces him. Such replaceable are interns.

Quite some breaks, which thankfully eased my wallet a litte, though got hit with a slightly hard dent at 14, which kinda NULL-ed what I saved.
Some tasks done, with more to be done, and even more to be received. My head bangs through the walls, like Satori with my bottle.

Well, here comes the final stretch, the final push that see if all I've done is worth it, or it was for nothing.
Good luck, is all I can say.
