TaiFeng Taiwanese Hotpot @ Cheras

Pretty place.


It's just beside the valet parking, on top of a slope so it looks like it's on a rooftop. 

I use the top sauce for dipping, the other 2 is nice to eat just like that. One of it it's made of minced prawn.

Lemongrass with White Wine Soup Base ~ Very very delicious.

Before any ingredients are being dump in the soup, they will prepare the soup pour in the wine and serve you a bowl first to try :)

Pork & Lamb Slices.


Let's dump everything in.

Steamboat is yummy, soup is very good too. I hope they add more things into their menu, the ala-carte menu have limited choices. The service here is so good that we felt like Kings & Queens - we were waited on hand and foot. They were very attentive to us, they kept coming to see if we need anything, they help refill soup when it's low, add in ingredients and help us cook it. OMG the experience was awesome. When we paid for the bill, there were some change, usually being cheapskate we take all the change including the receipt (this is for restaurants that charges government & service tax), but this time we were paiseh to take it. That's how good their service are :)

MY Food Comments >> People take it too far/personal!?!

Isn't this a free country??? We are free to voice our opinions about something provided it does not touch sensitive issues such as religion. Not free to simply jab at me as when as you like. Even if you want to jab, jab properly and something related to the food =.=". 

Some idiots' comment are really ridiculous like i'm fussy, or ugly or I don't know what I'm talking about or I don't know how to eat food. What has it got to do with you? And what has food got to do with looks? Because i'm fussy or don't support your fav cafe so i'm ugly. ROFLLLL!!
If you're voicing your opinion just for the sake of you can't shut up then get lost. I'm just sharing my experiences about restaurants during my visit, if you don't like it get lost. If you would like to defend the restaurant do so in a nice manner like you went to the restaurant before you find it really good or Alis served you really well therefore your experience at the restaurant was awesome blah blah blahhhh.

My question is: Are you better looking than me? Are you good looking yourself to be judging? It's like the pot calling the kettle black! It's just damn stupid and hilarious! You're calling yourself ugly too!


                    She can criticize me all she wants, she's gorgeous :) 

And even if I'm fussy, so what? You my mother?? You my boyfriend??? Go feed yourself with poison if you want to control me for being fussy or from commenting. Go get yourself someone who is not fussy, who can sleep on the floor with your dirty clothes covering the floor like a carpet/eat shitty food with you and have no complaints. My only concern is my boyfriend, if he's fine with me being fussy I don't care about you losers who have nothing else better to do with your life but to go around leaving shitty comments in people's blog. If that makes you feel good about yourself, I feel sad for you because you have no life and no friends to hangout with. GET A LIFE! 
Or since you have so much passion in you to comment go save the world or start a campaign to save animals or something.



So what if I don't know how to eat food. Have I ever declared that I am a food critique/expert?? Or I have traveled 20 continents so I know what food should or should not taste like?? All food comments are based on MY preference. If you don't agree, go suck a dick. Btw this is referring to chib**s who loves to leave mean comments just to make themselves feel good, not a jab at everyone so don't get sensitive. Like my mom always say if you can't say anything nice, then shut up. If your interest is to hurt someone emotionally on purpose then remember this people; karma works it's way around.

You must be thinking wouldn't karma hit me back for leaving bad comments about certain restaurants or cafes? No. I didn't do anything wrong, comments on food/cafe are solely based on how the food taste or whether I like it or not or whether the service of the place sucks/is good from what I observe or experienced - this includes friends who are with me, I take their comments into account as well so it's not purely based on mine alone. It's also not something that I cooked up to make them go bankrupt, if it's lies that I'm telling then yes I should be very afraid. Would you prefer if I leave nice comments, and you went to that same cafe but you find the food sucky, wouldn't that make me a liar/I have no taste in food? But then again you people will find whatever I say wrong.

The restaurant/cafe is short of staff - it's not my problem.
Short of staff hire more, don't make it my problem & make me wait 30 mins for my food. Or I have to eat with your sour face because you're working a double shift because your employer can't hire more staff to help you out.

The chef is lousy - it's not my problem.
Accept comments and cook better. Don't get defensive.

The restaurant/cafe is dirty - it's not my problem.  
Clean up. You can't expect us to eat while staring at the disgusting floor or absorbing the smell coming out of the toilet.

The restaurant/cafe only hire foreigners - it's not my problem. 
Teach foreigners especially some English, it's so hard for me to order food sometimes, I'll be spending 10mins asking them what is the dish about - you know how some dish has fancy name? OMG take a bat & beat me. It's like chicken and duck talking. I don't have anything against foreign workers but some of them just make it so difficult for me to ask questions that I just give up. When this happens I get upset when the food comes and it's not what I want. Yes they can be train because I've been to restaurants that have foreign workers working and they provide great service and speak good English, for exp Miam Miam.

So what if there are fussy people in the world like me, if everyone has low expectations or no expectations at all, this means even I can open a cafe and I can't cook or neither do I have the resources to open a good cafe and hire good staff/chef. But you guys can't complaint because fussy people are not allowed according to some "people". There are many places where I feel that should be filled with people and business blooming for them but unfortunately they are empty and eventually close down. WERT!>?! 
Conclusion: Customers enter a shop that looks crowded and if I live my life based on what you people say, I might as well don't need to be born!

Thursdvys @ Taman Tun Dr Ismail


Water provided.

Can I steal them :D


Hehehe kidding....

Flat White ~ Nice.

Hot Chocolate ~ Okay.

Smoked Salmon ~ Chengz loved it, me not so much. 
Eggs are good. 
Salmon is very fresh, it's actually not bad I manage to finish all of it while having goosebumps. I have a thing against non-cook/slight cook/food that doesn't go under hot fire. It felt like I was eating cat food. I don't take sushi or sashimi btw.

Boat Noodle @ Jaya One

Finally after 4 attempts I get to try Boat Noodle.

Less crowded here.

Thai Iced Coffee ~ Okay. i like the container.

Pathumthani Chicken Thai Rice Noodle ~ Okay only, nothing special.

Ayutthaya Chicken Thai Rice Noodle ~ The sauce tasted odd. I had to take the noodles and put it in the Pathumthani sauce to finish it.

The table is so small.

I can only eat 3 bowls. Lousy me.

I've tried queueing at Empire Damansara and gave up after waiting in line for an hour plus. I came and queued a couple of times and left. I was excited when Jaya One had a new branch, it was new and not many people knew about it. After much hoohaa, I finally get to try the famous Boat Noodle. Disappointed actually, I expected it to taste yummy considering I have actually queued for this 4 times.

Petrol Price Hike >> Not again ?!?! =.="

OMG again, this is like the fourth increase already. Petrol increase, food increase everything increase but salary never increase... =.="

 No not this sweat... 

This!!!

l remember back in those days when I was still driving a Kancil, the petrol price was increased to RM2.70 (if I remember correctly - many many many many years ago), crazeee! But one good thing came out of it, the roads were empty :) I was happily driving to work everyday without any traffic. But of course Public Transportation (Train/Bus/Taxi) were flooded with people trying to find cheaper alternative to work. Poor people. At this point food prices increase to compensate the petrol hike. I love to eat Mixed Rice for lunch, I take lots of cabbage, I would say to the aunty why so expensive, and she will reply 'Cabbage now expensive'. Mother her!!! GRR!!!! You think I never buy cabbage before... GRRR!!! Never mind no choice need to eat, next time take lesser cabbage see what she say. 

Next round took lesser cabbage and some other veggie, still so expensive, ask her again she say now petrol expensive everything also expensive. KNS. AGAIN!!!!! This shows that petrol price increase is BAD. I kind off got use to the petrol price being at RM2.70. After a while, it went back down to RM1.90. Unfortunately food prices did not reduce. Petrol price increase is BAD! Let's say it together people petrol price increase is BAD!

I am thrilled since it will be cheaper for me to drive, but definitely not happy because food prices will still be the same. Whenever petrol price increases, it will affect everything else to increase, however when the petrol price reduces as the government subsides more, all the prices remain the same. This don't make sense to me. WHYYYYY!!! Then government decided to reduce subsidy for Ron95 and petrol price is RM2.10 and as of today RM2.30. Increase TWICE!!!! Great my chaap faan will be even more expensive now! 



I would prefer that they kept the petrol price at RM2.70 at least all other prices are increase only once. Now that petrol price has increase by 4x, all other prices would have increase 4x too. Me being an average income earner find it hard to survive what more about those lower earning groups. I feel their burden/pain. They have kids to support and having kids are not cheap. Can you imagine if I want a Huskie as my baby, it cost RM5000 to buy one. I have to eat grass for a few months before I can buy one. That excludes foods, jabs, and any other expense that might incur.


I wish the organizations/companies would adjust our salary accordingly, based on petrol hikes and inflation and not to forget performance. *Wishful thinking*
