Breakfast 1 (10:04 am)
皇家咖啡店 WONG GA KOPITIAM
This coffee shop has a drinks stall (obviously), an economic rice stall, duck rice/noodles and a beef noodles stall.
Spacious place and there was a table available. One can place order at the various food stalls and the staff will bring it over when it is ready. Pay when served.
For drinks, you can order via the order chit placed on the table (which we didn't notice) or via the staff, or at the drinks counter. Cashless payment is available. Recommend to order and to pay direct at the counter.
 |
| assorted braised - tofu, duck gizzard, pig skin and ear |
 |
| braised duck (portion for 3 pax) |
 |
| kway teow kia (dry) |
Our breakfast was mainly from the duck stall. Paid RM60 for the duck, assorted braised and a bowl of kway teow kia. Food was good.
 |
| mixed beef soup (RM15 - large) |
For the beef soup, it was different from what I imagined it would be. Suggest to order it with noodles instead of without as the soup tasted better with the noodles.
 |
| cham (tea and coffee mixed) |
I liked the cham here but probably better to go for the less sweet version.

Breakfast 2 (11:07 am)
13 Units Hong Kong Cafe - Danga Utama
 |
| shop front |
Do you think we'd be here to eat say, just a bolo bun? Never. Haha! Let's see what we ended up with.
 |
| bakes on display |
 |
| merch corner |
Staff was friendly and we got our table almost immediately. However, after placing our orders, we asked the staff if we could move as the place didn't get the fan coverage. He was rather nice about it and warned that the table nearby had strong air conditioning and if we were ok with that.

 |
| might order this if I hadn't had breakfast prior |
The hardcopy menu looked like it had seen better days. Order via the QR code. Liked that for the drinks that we had selected, one could choose the less sweet option.
 |
| HK chee cheong fun (plain) |
The rice rolls were more sweet than savoury. Tasted like dessert.
 |
| pistachio egg tart |
 |
| cross section view |
 |
| nornal egg tart |
We were happy with the egg tarts. Crispy, flaky shell and good flavours from the pistachio and egg custard.
 |
| signature ice milk tea |
 |
| ice-lemon tea |
Hehe, that tiny piece of mahjong tile on the ice-lemon tea drink cover, can be plucked out and take home by the diners.
 |
| bolo bun with butter |
 |
| nissin noodles with egg and luncheon meat |
 |
| steamed milk custard |
Total meal costs around RM95.

Entertainment and Tea Break (3:00pm - 5:00pm)
Chun K Music Family Karaoke 纯K
The first KTV place that we went was inside a shopping mall but it was strictly for members' registration only but it was fully reserved. Hence, searched around and decided on Chun K as it accepts walk-in and was available.
We took the RM99++ 2 hour package which included a jug of drinks (choose 1 from 3 selections), some fruits and snacks.
Song selection was alright, service staff was polite and helpful. However, one of the mic at times no sound or sudden burst of sound. Not sure if it is a technical issue or our voice needed better control. Hmmm.

Pre-Dinner Snacks (7:05pm)
B&B Bakery
This shop sells one of the larger sized shio-pan that I've encountered thus far. The Penang shio-pan size was similar to Singapore.

| dining space outside the shop |
 |
| shop front |
I bought a couple of flavours for breakfast but my bro at the fancy flavours while I tried the yam mochi and the normal shio-pan. One could also add selected fillings into the plain shio-pan inside the shop, to customize the bun.

BBQ Dinner (7:40pm)
Tanba Japanese BBQ 炭马烧肉专门店(Twin Galaxy)
 |
| shop |
One could opt for either hot-pot or BBQ in this same shop. That night, we observed more people having hotpot than BBQ.
We chose the RM198+ per pax Basic Course package for the BBQ.
 |
| BBQ package |
 |
| wasabi and yakiniku sauce |
I was wondering why Hence kept asking me if I need to get the sauces from the sauce counter. I didn't as I was using the sauce available on the table. Turned out, the sauces from sauce counter were already charged per head.
 |
| charcoal ready |
Was a tad skeptical on the tiny pieces of charcoal for the BBQ as it looked like it might not have enough fire. No worries there as the meat pieces served were pretty thinly sliced.
 |
| tiny plates per serving order |
 |
| beef karubi |
 |
| fresh lettuce is a must |
 |
| kimchi is recommended |
 |
| let's start cooking |
 |
| munch on karaage while waiting |
 |
| next round of orders |
 |
| can request for staff to replace the grill once it got too much char on it |
 |
| beef fried rice |
Hmm, not too sure about the beef fried rice. Didn't like the rice texture here.
 |
| matcha ice-cream |
Cold tea, iced water and dessert are included in the package. For dessert, one could get the aiyu-jelly, matcha or vanilla ice-cream or the marshmallow. Hence and Tracy recommends the aiyu-jelly.
The place was pretty packed during dinner time on a Saturday evening at 730pm.
