As far as seafood noodles are concerned, I’ve never been a great fan. However, there is one particular seafood noodle shop that I’ll happily go to. That is Restoran Yu Ai located in Segambut. A friend of mine first introduced the place to me nearly a decade ago and I’ve been frequenting it on and off ever since.

This is actually a little old. WL and I went to Oh Sushi a while back, before they changed their external decor (again). It was after our usual weekend gym session and we were starved. Since we were feeling spendthrift that day, we decided on Japanese. There are quite a number of Japanese restaurants inside Mid Valley Mega Mall. Oh Sushi was one of the few that we haven’t yet tried.

Mid Autumn Festival is just around the corner. Some know it as the Lantern Festival for the lanterns that are lit during its celebration. Others refer to it as the Mooncake Festival for the round moon cake delicacies that are usually given to friends and relatives when visiting during the festival as an expression of best wishes and blessing of abundance. Regardless of what it is called, the festival is a goldmine for moon cake makers. So much so that Purple Cane, a brand popularly known for ‘Tea’, has introduced its own line of tea flavoured mooncakes.

After a short break from steamboats, we finally found occasion to make another trip to Sri Petaling when my cousin visited from Australia. Strangely enough, it was once again raining which is essentially ideal weather.

Porridge based steamboat has become all the craze recently. I liked Farmland Steamboat in Pudu. Since then, I’ve heard of various other places offering something similar. There’s the one in Kelana Jaya recommended by one of the readers which we have yet to try. And then of course, there’s the porridge steamboat in Seri Petaling. I’ve heard about it so often, about how it’s better than Farmland and all that. When the opportunity arrived on a wet rainy evening, WL and I took the check the area out. The problem was, we neither knew the restaurant’s location was nor its name. Strange that inspite of all the hype, no one has ever mentioned the name to us.
