Breakfast
Tang City Food Court
There were only dim sum, Myanmar food kiosk, fish paste noodles, prawn noodles, roasted meat rice, economic rice available when we visited in the morning.
No prize for guessing which was my choice. The coffeeshop staff are quick to come by to get your drinks order first. I ordered a kopi-gao but it tasted pretty much like regular ones.

| kopi gao |
One can order at the stall and they will send over the food when it is ready. Pay when food/drinks is served. Not sure how the food stall people know where to find the person who ordered but somehow they can.
 |
| bak kut teh for single pax |
 |
| Bak Kut Teh @RM22 |
 |
| pork belly, pork balls, stomach, small intestines, pork ribs, enoki mushrooms, lettuce and tao pok |
The bak kut teh was the herbal type and not too overpowering. I liked it. I think my brother had a shock for his order of 3 small plates of dim sum, and the lor mai kai. One small plate of dim sum (3 pieces) costs RM8, so one siew mai was like RM2.70. Taste wise, I tried the fried fish ball, and it was nice. The lor mai kai was good too.
A bowl of ban mian costs RM10 but it was a big bowl as compared to the dim sum.
What would you have ordered amongst the 3 options; dim sum, noodles or bak kut teh?
Dinner
Westlake Restaurant
This place is conveniently located near our hotel. We were there for dinner. Although it was a weekday evening, the vicinity was packed with tourists.

| menu |
This is a zichar (煮炒) place and we were in the mood for some noodles. Specifically, the black black hokkien noodles. Hehe!
For noodles/rice dishes, the menu indicated the pricing for small and large portion. There was no in-between like medium. Large was equivalent to 2 pax portion (according to the staff) but I beg to differ. And it seemed like we were required to order the large portion. Ok, not a problem but I suppose if you're dining solo, then they probably won't ask you to order the large (I hope!).

| 普洱 (pu-er) |
The food was served in just under 10 minutes after we ordered. Was pretty impressed by this actually.
 |
| Hokkien Fried Noodle (福建面) @RM28 |
 |
| sambal for the noodles |
Their rendition of the hokkien noodles was pretty good. Well cooked and tasty. Adequate ingredients such as small shrimps, meat slices, cabbage, some sotong and there's lard crisps in there as well.

| Furong Egg |
 |
| stir fried lettuce with fermented beancurd (腐乳) |
 |
| Hong Tu Noodles @RM30 |
 |
| looks like wanton noodles |
To me, the Hong Tu noodles is like a distant cousin of lor mee. Has plenty of thickened sauce and to be eaten with vinegar. Speaking of which, we reminded the staff that they forgot to provide the vinegar, so out came an entire bottle of it! Hahaha.
I ordered this dish as it was one of the noodles that I had eaten when I was young.

| black vinegar |
Obviously we didn't use the entire bottle...we poured out some into a small bowl.
 |
| must eat with vinegar |
 |
| Onion Chicken |
The onion rings were the best that I have ever eaten so far. Strongly seasoned, flavourful and crispy on the outerside and sweet on its inside. But, the chicken chunks were rather over-fried.
Overall, we spent RM152 in total for our party of 5 adults, which worked out to about RM30+ per pax.
