Seri Kembangan Food Hunt 2009!!!

Drove down with Ann and May to Seri Kembangan for the Legendary.......

Spinach Pan Mee!!!


As legend has foretold, this Pan mee is not for the weak-stomached. No, if what tickles your fancy is your average garden variety pan mee soup, STAY AWAY.

You see, much bloodshed has taken place in the making of THE Ultimate Pan Mee.

Many a spinach lost their lives (and their green hue) in the conflict.

Countless anchovies were sacrificed.

Chili paste makers had their tongues cut off so the secret of the Ultimate Chili Sauce would be safe till the grave.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.




Ok enough bullc*$p.

May recalls of this Spinach Pan Mee shop which, according to her friend's bf's someone's someone serves the meanest pan mee around town. Since we had time on us(and our perpetually empty tummies) we decided to give it a go. So off we went.

The biggest lesson I learnt today: don't mess with 6pm traffic.

It took us a good 40 mins to reach Seri Kembangan ( usually should be around 15 - 20 mins). Suffice to say the roads were jam packed like a Panini de marmaletta~

After much hustle and bustle, we arrived at our fateful destination.



OOOOIIII!!!!!!!!!!!



You've got to be kidding. No, seriously.

KNNBCCB!!!!!!!!

But we have come too far for defeat. Hell no way are we gonna go back empty stomached. Seri Kembangan, whatever else you have that's good, you BLOODY better bring it on now, like right NOW.

So we went to this adjacent place which, interestingly, also claims to serve 'Special Spinach Pan Mee'.....!

We ordered a medley of stuff....desperation and dejection makes for crappy choice making...



old cucumber soup...NOT spinach pan mee...



spinach soup pan mee...NOT spinach pan mee...



dry pan mee...NOT spinach pan mee...


curry chee cheong fun...NOT spinach pan mee...


yong tau foo...NOT spinach pan mee..!!!

Everybody together...WTF??? We've been HAD!!!!

Apparently the said Pan Mee store is closed every Tuesday. Excellent.

May already activated Hiding Mode.



Its not your fault May. It's JUST spinach pan mee. THE spinach pan mee.......T_T


So, what did a bunch of dejected-semi full-unsatisfied gluttons do next?

We went for Durian open season!!


there is a God......


like a hot knife through butter


We've hit Gold!!

The durian was great....RM10/kg for Hong Sia....cheap?
Thank god no one farted on the way back.

Satisfied, we head on our journey back. Some one came up with the brilliant idea of going to South City Plaza to burn off the cals we just loaded on. A good idea, so that's where we headed next.



South City Plaza was emptier than a Christmas Specialty Store in Summer.
There was, practically, nothing.
My heart felt for the owner.

Loitering around, we ended up at The Lingerie Shop.


eye catching, yes....

Some of the choices were....interesting.


very vintage...

Gives an all new perspective to the Chinese proverb ' a woman which a man cannot fully grasp with one hand*'............

*the original meaning is more or less 'a woman that cannot be single-handedly manipulated by a man...'

A fruitful ending to a wholesome day. Fell asleep at the handphone booth while Ann was getting a HP cover. Oops.

On the way back, Ann requested for a stop to tapao Fish Head Meehoon Soup (yes, blame it on the high metabolism rate).

' Relax, I know just the place. It's at Balakong.' Me say.

So we reached Balakong. So we turned in to the row of shops. So we reached the aforementioned Fish Head Meehoon shop.


On the Sign:


FISH BALL NOODLE SOUP



KNNBCCB X 100,000,000!!!!
