Auntie Lora Prawn Mee @ Jalan Pudu

We're now a big fan to Tung Sing @ Kajang when it comes to breakfast with black coffee, nasi lemak, toast and half-boiled eggs on weekends.

Broke the routine when dad decided to give us a ride, heading down to Jalan Pudu for a taste of one of his fave Prawn Noodle.

Xiao Fei Yang 小肥羊 @ Off Jalan Pudu, KL

Pretty sure when I mentioned Xiao Fei Yang, most of you would shout "má là” 麻辣!Yes, I did too.

Herbal Chicken Soup and Ma La Peppercorn Seed Soup: the Yin Yong Soup 麻辣汤 (RM 22)

Typica 豆原, Typica Cafe @ Shaw Parade

Attention to all coffee lovers!

For those of you who happened to be around Pudu area (well, if you're not around there as well), why not try dropping by Shaw Parade?

Thanks to Citygal, the ultimate coffee lover lover, we were able to finally discover the aromatic scents of coffee at Typica Cafe; the little hidden gem tucked near one of the entrance of the mall.

This place is not really roomy, but was decorated in a way that'll make you feel homely upon entering. A long counter lined up with coffee brewers & friendly staffs. Customers with their laptops on the counter top while sipping away with their coffee. Another corner of people with books & guitars, singing softly enchanting melody that entertained us.

Routines which were poles apart from what I usually do these days.

#2 Dinner at Sek Yuen

A relaxing family dinner at the restaurant quoted as a "retro-frontage on Jalan Pudu that opened up to a bright, spacious high-ceilinged dining hall which harked from a different era". Dad suggested it immediately as soon as mom mentioned she wants to go for Italian. Chinese food rules on his gastronomic diary. Sek Yuen  is 63-year-old Cantonese eatery which my parents knows best.
