WAP: 16th May - 28th May

Hello readers!

As some of you might know that currently I'm working in a firm as an attachment student which is under the UBD FBEPS course, WAP. It started two weeks ago on the 16th May and up till now, 2 weeks had passed (8 more weeks to go, wheee!)

Since the first day of my WAP, I've already learnt a lot from the working experience even though it's merely 2 weeks. Colleagues are all friendly, helpful and humorous! My working hours could be long as I do finish work at inconsistent time but that's alright because this some how would happen a lot in other jobs that I might take in future term. So, gotta get used to working life asap!

Ever since the started of working life, I've little effort or energy left to go for food hunting at night. Thus, I don't quite have much places to review lately (very sadly to say that *pouts*). But nevertheless, I still love to eat and will try best to do my part in maintaining blog (although I've drastically been procrastinating a lot, especially this month =.=|||).

So if you guys do have any good food or restaurants that you wanna share with me, do email or tweet or leave message on the pinkie chat box on the left bar in this blog or you can even leave message on Food-Hungry's facebook page! I'd be really happy to know it and I'd also try my best to review each of the suggested place.

I've compiled some of the foodie pics that I had taken during my lunch in the past 2 weeks of working life. Do take note that these pictures were all taken by my Galaxy Tab thus the lower photo quality. I've been lazy to bring out my camera(s) everywhere I go ever since I've started using that phone, lol! So hope you guys don't mind that.


At Tanjung Bunut Hua Ho Foodcourt

waplunch-1
Iced Nescafe to keep me awake for the whole afternoon

waplunch-2
Sharwarma chicken rice, $3.50


At Restaurant Tanjung Selera

waplunch-3
It's located same row as Nazmi Supermarket and one of its popular dish is Nasi Ayam Penyet

waplunch-4
Nasi Ayam Penyet, $3. The chicken was fried till golden brown and crispy which was pretty good. And as lime was provided so I just squeeze it over the fried chicken and the sambal. Extra flavour~ But to my disappointment, the sambal was too sweet and there wasn't any difference between the spicy and 'biasa' sambal. In other words, if you love love love spicy sambal, this is definitely not for u.


At The Cottage, KB

waplunch-5
Indonesian Curry Deer Meat; worth trying but the 'santan' was too thick and creamy.

waplunch-6
Ginger Deer Meat, Andrew ordered this and he seemed to be like it a lot ^^


At Aminah Arif, Serusop

waplunch-7
Colleague was craving for ambuyat and since we were nearby this area so we all agreed to have our lunch there!

waplunch-8
Fatty!

waplunch-9
I side ordered a bowl of Soto Ayam and it was served with begedil too, $4

waplunch-10
This was the ambuyat for 3 which cost $21 per set

At Restaurant 88

It was actually my second visit to the restaurant after it had opened for so long! It was pretty packed during lunch time and seemed like the patrons like the economic rice a lot. My colleague also ordered it too; in fact he choosed like 6 dishes! Unsure how much was it though. One good thing bout dining here for its economic rice is that it serves free flow of soup and rice which you can just help yourself.

waplunch-26
3 dishes out of the 6 dishes which my colleague ordered

waplunch-27
These are the other 3 dishes

waplunch-29
I didn't go for the economic rice and had Spare Rib King rice instead, $4.50
waplunch-28
Kolo Emperor Noodle (Huang Ti Mian) with dumplings, ordered by another colleague

Easter Brunch at Li Gong, Empire

Yay! I finally had a chance to try out Li Gong's Sunday brunch buffet after so many years!

And because the day when we went there was Easter day thus the menu was slightly different; so was the price. But we were still able to enjoy discount using the Country Club membership.

Anyway, back to food business.

There were lots of food varieties available ranging from appetizers, dim sum, main courses, desserts to even a special station dedicated to serve Hong Kong BBQ roasted meat!

I would say, this buffet would only be worth to people who are big eaters. As you can see that the choices of food available in this buffet were way too much so it was actually impossible to finish trying each of it and you might not have that much room in your tummy for it so you could be feeling sulky.... like me; lol!

Moving on~

If you guys have never been to Li Gong, don't worry, it's very easy to spot especially with the sign boards available within Empire Hotel. Li Gong has got really big area where other than the main unit (which is the main entrance to the restaurant), there are also 2 other units (if i'm not mistaken) which could be used for private function with many tables occupied in it. And for your information, there is actually an upper floor on the main unit where patrons can have their meals there but since it is quite an open area so there wouldn't be much privacy as compared to the other 2 sub units available.

This cutlery surely made me felt like I was in the ancient dynasty period

SKY being KNS. He said he wanted to act pro a bit by reading newspapers while having brunch. Purposely went to buy the newspapers some more =.=

ligong-7
As you can see from above picture, Li Gong is really spacious and the arrangements of the food was nicely done. Porridge on the left side, desserts station in the middle, appetizers on the rights and so on. If you look carefully, you can actually notice a staircase which lead to the upper floor. And those umbrellas hanging upside down really made me wanted to sing out loud "Eh eh eh~ under my umbrella!" few times. But fortunately, I was able to control myself :P

ligong-3
The chef must had spent lotsa time on carving this lotus wasabi! But..... like that who would want to have it? It would totally spoil the hard effort of the chef lar~

ligong-19
Dim Sum station; okie so this is how it works here in Li Gong. Slightly different from Emperor's Court and Orchid Garden Hotel dim sum buffet. Li Gong's style is to have a dim sum trolley placed at one side in the restaurant which many different types of dim sum were placed on the trolley with its names provided. Therefore, patron was required to choose the type of dim sum and also the quantity of it and inform the waiter about it. After ordering, just wait for some while and the waiter would serve it to your table.

Some might think that this is not really a good system as one of the reasons why people choose to have buffet is that they didn't want to wait to be served but instead, have the food readily to be eaten. But I believe this can help to reduce food wastage and also, if these dim sum were to served readily, it could not be that hot and fresh anymore. Thus, it is better to order it and have it served later.
