Pun Choy @ Restaurant LYJ, Sg Buloh

 Always wanted to try "Pun Choy". It's a pot of everything. Yes EVERYTHING! Noticed that there is a lot people blog about LYJ in Kg Baru, Sg Buloh for how good their signature Pun Choy tasted and value for money. Pun Choy served in a portion of minimum 5pax and maximum up to 12pax. Everything is arranged and layers in 1 pot so it's seems easy to prepare.

 Upon approaching the entrance, you'll see tons of photo of the local celebrities and also artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan who dine in LYJ previously.

Well... of course LYJ do have other specialities like their roasted honey pork (char siew), fried paku-pakis veg, roast duck and etc. But it's because wecame mainly for their Pun Choy,we did not want to other more dish because the portion of Pun Choy came in really huge and we can't really finish it in the end of our meal.

To enjoy a Pun Choy, you needs to place order at least 2 days before and we had ordered a Pun Choy with abalone and scallop for 12pax at RM588 and the normal Pun Choy is around RM288. 

Different types of sauces will be served as well.

As you can see the ingredients in Pun Choy are overflowing and there are even more items each layer such as braised pig trotter, braised chicken feet, fish and more. Did we finish this pot of food? we did not! we pack up the remaining and turned it into another home-made Choy Giok (mixed stew kind of dish in sour gravy) =)

Last but not least, this Standing Roast Chicken (Dung Dok Gai) is also another highlight of LYJ, The gimmick of this roast chicken is just so tempting you to have one, but well at least the chicken skin is roasted to crispand that's a plus point for it.

Note: remember too call 2 days before to order the Pun Choy

Summary: after trying out Pun Choy, it's not really that special anyway, the gimmick is just a pot of everything. No harm trying for first timer =)

POCO Homemade @ Bangsar

Discover a new dining place in Bangsar and knowing it by reading from a magazine review. It's easier to be found from NSTP. Poco had a very cosy interior deco and it's just gives you a feeling you're some where in Taiwan, maybe it's the color and decor combination ;)

Their menu is handmade too

Had try their Chicken Katsu Don and it's a set lunch with Miso soup RM14.90 but the taste is just so-so

Tried their Omu Rice as well RM13.80 but the taste is just can't beat La Yosh in Plaza Damas and both price is almost the same.

Main course is done and it's time to try their dessert and had their specialty Tofu Cake RM8, the first bite you'll taste creamy cheese and slowly you'll taste yogurt and after you'll taste soy. What an experience adventure! good to try!

They serve UCC coffee as well! a combination to go with the cake ;)

They even got personal touch on their receipt ^^

Summary: a nice place to hangout but it's not a place for food =P

Day 2 :: Part 2 Jiu Fen (5th November 2010)

Soon we done with Yeh Liu and also got stalk by a cab driver to convince us to take his ride, and yea we took it in the end and we got a bad headache after coz his driver skills is madness!

He drop us at Kee Lung and from here we took a bus transit up to Jiu Fen.

Once enter the alley of Jiu Fen, this is where te food expedition starts! Non-stop craving =P and was told by Nicole that Jiu Fen is famous for "Ee Yuen" means yam glutinous which before it was cook it looks like this where it comes with packaging

where after it was boiled and serve with red bean soup, it looks like this

Seriously and honestly this is the best! and what I'm missing most... love the taste of the purple yam ball, it has more texture.

Found another shop selling the same thing and it's more like a family business and been running it for long and I personally love the look and feel of it ;)

and they serve the same way with red bean soup, bet this is the way to make it taste better ^^

Besides trying different stalls selling "Ee Yuen", found a very special way of eating ice-cream, where they grate the peanut freshly and put it on "popiah" skin and after scoop two scoops of ice-cream and wrap it up. It was awesome isn't?!

After one ice-cream we move on trying another ice-cream. Which is Dorayaki ice-cream! coolness!

Been seeing this sausage lady in lotsa people's photo album and finally i met her! and her sausage is not bad besides her being own ambassador for it XD bought a 3 flavours sausage to try on and to me I still prefer the original taste of sausage instead of the garlic and forgot what is the black sausage flavour hahaha...

Besides those yummy ones, found some food which I dare not to try which is this "kueh" which looks like "ang-ku kueh" but it's a bit geli compare to our "kueh" la hahaha

There's a lot of souvenir shop as well but there's always things which is unique and some it's not so choose wisely! hehe

After done going thru the food alley and you will finally end up on some breath taking view of Jiu Fen housing area which on the slope downhill

Along the alley, there's also some nice construct and design shops o maybe because of the weather and people?hhhahha

After going thru the "makan" alley,  and also looking at the nice view.. and guess wart?! we needs to walk back thru the alley to catch the bus to go back Taipei.

Here ends the second day trip of Kee Lung where we covers Yeh Liu and Jiu Fen and back to Taipei explore Xi Men Ting!

Day 2 :: Part 1 YehLiu Geopark (5th November 2010)

We had took the train and after a transit with a bus ride to Kee Lung district to reach Yeh Liu Geopark.

Soon after we reach, we quickly rush to the bus station to catch the earliest bus and yet we still needs to wait half an hour for the next bus ride and it takes about 2 hours to reach Yeh Liu.

There's is a shuttle bus to Yeh Liu Geopark once you stop at the nearest bus stop.

Chin Ni got a student pass so her entrance fee is always half price of ours!

Let me share some info to you bout Yeh Liu Geopark. Yehliu Geopark is famous for its sea-erosion landscape, while most of the spots are very close to the sea, tourists are advised to observe the tour guide regulations in case of the occurrence of possible danger or causing any damage to the natural resources.

Once we get in.. there's this cute statue and we started to photograph haha...

The most famous rock in this geopark is the Queen's head which looks like this

Of course we snap photo with it hahaa...

Even this uncle use a D200x to capture the Queen's head suing tripod as well!

Once we done havin snap shot with the Queen's head, we move on with more breath taking scenery. And the view from observation deck is AWESOME!!!!

It was raining all the way during our observation and here comes 2 malay lady named Lynette and Kelly hahahaha

Really love this place  a lot.. strong wind.. nice stones..

There's another Queen's head which form by the sea too.. which it was place at another area.

After spending 1 hour plus enjoy the view and stones, we quickly look for lunch which there's row of shops right after you get out from the geopark exit. Therefore, we saw a stall displaying fresh oyster and just makes us crave for O-a-chian!! and it's cook by a young chap!

We actually had our lunch in this shop, we ordered a seaweed soup, fried rice and O-a-chian, this 3 dishes for NTD140(RM14) only! cheap uh?!

And here ends the journey at Yeh Liu and after we went to Jiu Fen which you'll find out in my next post ;)
