Burps & Giggles in Ipoh, Malaysia.

As mentioned in my previous post, Baby, Kelxy and I had visited Burps & Giggles during our Ipoh Trip because baby wanted to visit it. It is considered one of the famous cafe in Ipoh with its cozy setting and deco.

It comprises the size of three shoplots but the main entrance is located in the middle.

Business hours.

The moment you stepped foot inside B&G you will be welcomed by

A wine bar.

And comfy seating suitable for large group of gathering, hangout etc which appears brighter than the other two indoor settings.

 Decided to stay indoor for chiller environment. 

 Ordering method is troublesome enough, if you plan to write all of the menu on two signboards just make it as self service where we could just order at the cashier instead of the waitress staring at us while we turn our heads 180 degree to look through the menu lol. Or you could just print more menus.

Baby's ristretto- short shot of espresso. Didn't order any food as we had dimsum and egg custard before that. 

Choco mellow, basically hot chocolate with marshmallow. I've always thought this is the perfect combination but not in here. Marshmallow is perfect, soft and sweet but the hot chocolate is almost tasteless that the Cadbury hot chocolate in my house tastes even better than this.

Maybe we should've try out their main course like burgers as it is their signature dish but we did not have the space for it. Plus I wouldn't pay RM28 for a burger even though I'm a burger freak (would rather spend it on Chili's burger). Perhaps their foods are really good based on other food reviews but their drinks definitely need LOTS of improvements.

In overall, I'd say their environment is nice but their drinks aren't, foods are a lil' overpriced for me.

First Trip in 2014 - Ipoh

So sorry that my blog has been dead for weeks as I was busy for my finals and I did not encounter any interesting things to blog about during my first week of sem break, and yesterday was my first trip in 2014 with my love one! We visited Ipoh since my college mates were there as well and I was really excited about it because this is the first time bf drove us across the Penang bridge :D

Managed to capture the sunrise :)

Camwhored with boyfie xx

These two are my favs cause bf looks so cool haha 

We actually planned to depart at 6:30am but a sleepyhead failed to wake up on time so we departed at 7:30am hmph. Fortunately, we managed to have dimsum with friends (altho we were a little bit late) and thanks to one of my friend's dad for his treat!

This dimsum restaurant is located opposite the famous Foh San dimsum and we decided to give it a first try since some people say that this is nicer than Foh San. Personally, I think Foh San serve more variety of yummy dimsum in a more presentable way and in a better environment. I think I'll go back to Foh San during the next visit.

Group photo.

After breakfast, we visited Thean Chun Restaurant for its famous egg custard with caramel!

The whole thing tasted like pudding and I love its smoothness and sweetness, and it was served cold! But bf disliked it at first, says it tasted like antibiotic lol but he sort of like it after several bites.

With my tour guide of the day, Kelxy! Candid shot of us on the right.

(so far this is the nicest candid shot I got lol)

Then the three of us (bf, me and Kelxy) went separate ways with other college mates as they wanted to visit a temple for... certain purposes lol, and so we visited the (another) famous cafe in Ipoh, Burps and Giggles.

I'll create another blog post for it cause I have many pictures and some (negative) comments to share with!

The unsatisfying choco mellow (hot chocolate + marshmallow)

Next, all of us reunited at the (again another) famous Dai Shu Geok in Pasir Pinji for its yong tau fu.

 It was quite disappointing and normal for me, I'd prefer Penang's yong tau fu, less choices here not sure if the business is really good or it already passed lunch hour. Bf dislikes the noodle as he can taste a lot of flavouring and seasoning in it.

After two disappointing ones I can finally taste something that is so plain yet so yummy! Presenting you the (N times) famous tau fu fa from Funny Mountain. It is definitely a must try whenever you visit Ipoh, I'm not a fan of tau fu fa until I tried this! Unlike Penang that uses brown and white sugar syrup, here they use vanilla syrup which is not too sweet and smells really nice, also it is much much smoother and softer than the others!

Took this picture after several spoons of it as I forgot to let my phone eat first.

After one bowl of tau fu fa we headed to Raja Uda to try out Ju Heng tomyam.

It disappoints me as well cause it is not spicy like at all, shall try out heng heng tomyam next time.

In overall all of the main course are disappointing and the desserts are really good! Hope I'm able to visit Ipoh again for its delicious tau fu fa! (BF see this hee) 

Ampang Homeland Yong Tau Fu, Kuala Lumpur.

College is reopening soon like TOMORROW! And I'm here writing bout food I've tried in KL and missing the moment my dear and I had spent together :( It's actually our first trip together and I believe there are more to come hehe. We have tried myBurgerLab previously you can check it out HERE if you haven't. In this post, we visited this yong tau fu shop because bf was craving for rice, he cannot live a day without rice lol. Thanks to uncle again for bringing us here.

There are several YTF shops in that area but we decided to go for this one since there's a parking space.

Dishes that we ordered.

Pork with preserved vegetable. This dish is quite normal for me as I can find the same taste in Penang, the sauce is suitable to be eaten with rice.

Lettuce with oyster sauce. The lettuce used is not too old and it's quite fresh, I can even hear myself chewing the lettuce. I like the oyster sauce because it's able to add more flavours into a tasteless lettuce. I like the dish even though I rarely eat vegetable.

Deep fried dumplings. They are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, the fillings taste really good and the outer part smells really nice! You can see that they are not stingy on the amount of fillings inside.

And of course Yong Tau Fu, unlike the YTF in Penang, here they do not serve it with soup. I think it would be easier for the customers if they could cut it at least into half and it's easier for sharing. They taste okay actually but I prefer the one in Penang because they have soup! I'm not a soup person but I like YTF soup a lot (used to snatch it with my bro). The choices here are limited as well. 

Must-have sauce while having YTF, sweet sauce + chilli sauce dayummm! Bf asked me to take a photo of it simply because he can poured it nicely (after 2 tries).

In overall the food was average but satisfying (I mean just look at the portion), still prefer Penang's YTF especially the one in Pantai Jerejak! 

GTGBBXOXO

My Burger Lab in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

I FFIIINAAAAALLLEEEEHH have the chance to try out my all time wanted burger, myBurgerLab! (how I wish it's really mine) Thanks to my dear and uncle who are willing to take me there love you much much! MBL is opened by 3 guys who are passionate about awesome burgers, check out their info HERE peepo, I enjoyed reading their description :D

We reached there around 8 something and luckily the queue was not that long, they even provide cold water for those who are queueing, how considerate!


I highly recommend that you should really try out their burgers! 

The menu is on the wall and everything self service here, can you see the number in red?
It's like a numbering system used in banks where you wait for your order to be done.


Look! Even vegetarians can dine in here (if they can resist the smell of meat) hehe, they are pork-free as well so the Muslims can share the same goodness together :D
Annnnd we can add RM6 to make it into a set which includes fries and soda (which is bottomless!)
There were 5 of us and we ordered:

-2 Say Cheese Chicken

-1 Swisstake

-1 Beautiful Mess 5.0

-The Hulk

Bear in mind that they only accept $CASH$!!

The kitchen staff, they manage to get the order done efficiently in a short time and still manage to maintain its great quality and taste! 

The amount of customers coming in is endless like its bottomless drinks! Good food is always worth the wait :D 

Some of them even came here after work I supposed (based on their clothings). 

This is a much better periodic table compares to the one we learnt in Science.

A wall full of notes! Can you imagine how many customers have been here already?! 

I can assure you, guarantee you that the burgers are really great! Now lets move on to the main characters of the day: AWESOME-BURGERS-THAT-WILL-MAKE-U-GAIN-WEIGHT-WILLINGLY

I'm not sure what do they use to create this sauce but it opens up my appetite, it tastes like the mixture of chilli and mayo but I think there's something else that makes me fall for it and I seriously couldn't stop dipping the fries into it! 

And speaking of fries, their fries are sprinkled with seaweed and.. pepper? or some other spices I'm not sure as well (pardon me) and they do make the fries even more desirable, and they mix well with the sauce! 

(now I miss both of them already) 

Uncle's order. Say Cheese Chicken (sharp cheddar + grilled chicken + sauce X). 

Even the simplest form of burger is delicious enough for him!

My Swisstake (Swiss cheese, Shiitake and Enoki Mushrooms, and Sauce X ). Not sure if I should pronounce it as Swiss-teik or Swiss-tah-keh. For mushroom lover you're gonna love it! They are fried together with cheese and are then placed on top of the juicy beef patty, while the yellow thin crust at the bottom tastes salty and it blends well with everything! After the first bite I knew that I will finish it at all cause (even if there's a robbery going on lol), and no offence but it's like I no longer crave for Penang's burgers (ok maybe 1 or 2) but MBL is definitely number 1 in my heart now.

Bf's order. Beautiful Mess 5.0 (Fried portabellas, sunny-side up, sharp cheddar). The one with cheese is beef patty while the one under the egg is fried portabellas. Bf almost thought it was a fried chicken patty because it is too crunchy!

Oh I love sunny-side up, just look at how sexy it is when it's dripping.

My Om-Nom-Nom man. Don't kill me if you see this. 

He likes it a lot even though he's not a burger addict, superb news for me so I can go there if we visit KL again teehee.
