Kedah: Favourite Rojak Stall

Hello! March is a boring month as I spent a lot of time eating ALONE. T___T  My usual lunch and dinner partner got caught up with some work and I have no one to eat with. I do have friends in Alor Setar but it is a little hard to ask them out. W-H-Y... For the past 9 months, my life in Alor Setar has been so happening. Weekend is either filled with lots of outing or I'll be back at home. But now? It's weekend and I have to be on my own. All alone.

I woke up late and hence missed a breakfast date with a friend. Hence, I have to hunt for my brunch alone in Alor Setar town. Gosh... what to eat??? I drove out from the house and started to stroll around. Drove along Jalan Langgar towards the direction of town. Suddenly, I thought of the rojak stall beside Kolej Sultan Abdul Hamid, which is just right before the flyover of Jalan Langgar. Reached there and saw a lot of cars parked by the roadside. Hooray! Good sign! Sign of my favourite rojak stall is open today. It has been a long time since I last bought it. Always drove passed and uncle wasn't there. FINALLY!

The location. The stall is just right under the tree.

Saw people having rojak by the stall, under the tree and I have a strong urge to join them. Ordered a plate of rojak (RM2.50) and sat down on the bench provided. The rojak was really really nice. All the fruits and cucumbers are really fresh and crunchy. I requested uncle to put more peanuts for me and it was really nice! So crunchy! Nom.. nom.. nom...

Rojak with lots of peanuts. Hehehe.... =D

**Heard from my friend after that the uncle had accident and rest for a month. The day I had that rojak was the first day he reopened the stall. So lucky!! =D

The uncle and the stall. =D

There's actually two stalls that will open at that location. Another uncle's rojak wasn't that nice as compared to this. I always passed by and found that it is not my favourite stall and I'll just drive away. Feel so sorry, but I really prefer the other stall more.

Taiping: Wasabi Sushi

Sushi post again!! =D

I have no idea why recently I have so much craving for Japanese food recently. When can I go Japan?

Wasabi Sushi Restaurant exists in Taiping for several years but I never try it till last 2 weeks. During Chinese New Year, sis and me were really hungry and we wanted to have some good food. Wanted to go Ming Ji Restaurant for a cup of coffee but that time the restaurant was closed for a break. So, we changed place to Wasabi Sushi which is located nearby. 

The menu which is simple, but looks a bit old.

The simple CNY design of the shop

The shop is rather small but quite cozy. When we went in around 3pm, there are 2 tables of customers. What a surprise. Tea time and tables are quite occupied (Because there are only around 5 tables. Haha... )

Ordered a pot of green tea for 2.

And ordered different sushi. They served all our orders in a plate. 

Look! Total bill is less than RM25 for everything. Rather cheap. But taste wise is just alright. Salmon nigiri feels not too fresh. Unagi nigiri was good. Tamago is too too sweet and hence awful. 

Kedah: Kaede Japanese Restaurant

It is March 2015 already! How time flies! 

Chinese New Year celebration is coming to an end and it is time for my stomach to rest. I get disgusted with meats these few days. This morning I was craving for some salads but I don't have ingredients to make one. Wanted to go for a bowl of Moo Salad at Cafe Diem but I'm lazy to drive there alone and eat. Hence, I have a second thought -- What about trying the japanese restaurant near Teluk Wanjah? 

Yes Yes, you didn't get me wrong. I went to try this new place alone because friends are busy =S

A very small board in the middle of the row of shops.

The menu.

They listed their opening hours on the front page.

Lunch: 11.45am - 3.30pm
Dinner: 5.45pm - 10.20pm
Close on Monday.

Very odd opening hours. 10.20pm?! But well, maybe that's how they make it special.

Small restaurant but the light and decoration make it feel homey. 

Remember that I said I was craving for vege? 

Hence, I ordered a bowl of Sansai Soba (山菜荞麦面) (RM8.80). Loving the mushrooms and vege. The soup is nice too. Totally enjoyed my dinner tonight though I'm all alone. =D 

Who cares when couple beside me give me a strange look?

Ah! Not to forget my side dish -- Inari (RM2.80). 

I have no idea why I love Inari so much recently. But Inari here is still not as good as the one in Ginza. Still good and acceptable. 

Heard that this Kaede Japanese Restaurant exists for a few years in Alor Setar already. I'm a bit slow to explore but it is better than never. =D They serves set menu too. Maybe can try it when I get rid of my fats gained during CNY. Haha...
