Hei budz!!!!

Is been a while since I posted some eatery joint isnt't it? My bad... I have been to a few places that I really love to show to ya all.. But, I am running out of time everyday... 24hrs is not enough for me...

Buffet is never cheap for me... Well, since young the only buffet place I know was in the coffee house of any hotel... I came from a small town in Penang therefore, there is not much choice for me if I have a craving for buffet...

Fast forward to now, even though currently I have many choices to go to, if i prefer buffet.. the price are really not cheap... at lease RM30 and above?? If buffet in hotel even worse, can be up to RM100++ or more per person... (hint: I may be a hotelier, but i still find hotel food expensive... )

Anyway, I found an eatery whereby you can EAT ALL YA WANT!!! Best part is, it is really affordable, like REALLY AFFORDABLE!!!!

It is located outside of Plaza Damas. And it is really easy to find .......trust me..


"Make sure you are at the top floor, center exit... the exit is between TGI Friday and Starbucks... Walk across pass the Japanese restaurant till you see a small water fountain on your left (you can also spot a 7-11 near there on your left).. turn right and walk all the way till the end.... A Minor Place is on the right hang side...right in front of Ah Pek Coffee Shop"
 
Let me show you a bit of the places..

Interior of d restaurant

It is really comfy...the design of the restaurant as you can see is really like a small coffee house... comfy...

Really suitable for you to chill and hangout with your friends... not to forget, camwhore as well.... There are mirror after mirror as you can see on the right for ya to fix your makeup and camwhore...

The staff over there are really friendly... They really serve with you a smile... No black face or rude remark or stares given to me the whole time I am there...

Buffet area

 Might not be your typical buffet spread whereby you have like at lease 15 to 20 dishes varies from different cold starters right up to the heavy hot dishes... But, A Minor Place provides at lease 15 dishes for you to choose from (that includes the carbohyrdrates as well)

Carb dishes...

 For the price you are paying, I am really surprised they didnt just provide you with enless of white rice... Instead they provide you 3 different carb dish....1 fried rice, 1 pasta with tomato sauce and fried noodle...

I love the pasta really much compare to the other 2 dishes... the sauce is really sweet and sour all mix together (not sugar sweet type)... the sweetness comes from the carrots while the sourness no doubt from the tomatoes... Really yummy... Love the blend...

Yummy... yummy

There are really quite a selections for you to choose from....

Dishes:
Fried vege (Tomatoes, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Oyster Mushroom)
Yong Tau Foo (Brinjal, chilies, Ladiesfinger, Bitter gourd, Fu Chuk etc)
Curry vege
Pork Char Siew
Steam egg (Generous amount and big chucks of Salted Egg and Century Egg) 
Chicken Chop
Bak Kut Teh
Sweet and Sour Fish

Egg, Chicken, Bak Kut Teh and Fish....

What I really love the most is the Steam Egg.... It is really thick.... And the flavour of all the 3 eggs are retain in each of the cube... It might look very dry from the pictures, but it is actually very juicy...
Yummy!!! Yummy!!!

 
 Like I said... It might look dry...but it is actually very juicy... Don't judge an "egg" by its cover...

Yong Tau Foo, Pork and Vege

The Yong Foo Yoo are really good as well... The fish paste are quite thick... Maybe around 2- 3cm or so... Succulent fish paste.. I really hate those Yong Tau Foo stalls that charge around RM5 or more for 3 pieces, but their fish paste are like so little... So not worth my money and I always felt cheated...

What I am having....

Really enjoyed my lunch over there... Have like tons of Yong Tau Foo and the Steam Egg... Char Siew and the fish are nice as well.... Dont really like the Fried Vege cause I dont really like the funny taste the mushroom gave me...overall it is ok la for the fried vege...
 

Plate after plate of the delicious goodies...

Satisfy me....

After plates after plates of food, time for me to enjoy my drinks.. Ice Lemon Tea... Bless!!!  Ignore my makeup-less face ya... ^^

Ok.. time to end now... kthxbai!!!!!

*Disclaimer: I always cooked this when I have no time and when I have no motivation (a.k.a LAZY) .. It works!!!!!! *

Are you facing what I used to faced??? Are you in the following category?? 

No time to cook?? Cause you spend too much time Facebook-ing, watching TV or Instragram-ing?? 

Wanna impress your loved one you are actually the "Real Deal" and not some "Kitchen Destroyer" or worst "Kitchen Dummy" ???

Hardly cooked and when it is time to cook you are facing a huge problem???

To be honest, I was once the fella I mentioned above... Come on, everyone been through it.. I don't cook and I bet lots of girls out there are the same.... We either have our mom or maid doing it....right??

Anyway, when I am forced to cooked for myself or for someone... I tend to struggle with the main question... WHAT TO COOK???? WHAT THE MOST SIMPLEST WAY TO PREPARE A MEAL???

After a period of time, I realized that cooking a simple noodle soup is the simplest for me... 

Therefore, I decided to share it with ya... the Fastest and Simplest way to cook something nice and delicious.... Guarantee can impress someone... providing they are not picky and they can gobble down everything and anything

Let start shall we???

It is call....

TOM YAM NOODLE SOUP

Roughly 4 serving... can be less or can be more.. depending on your serving...Mine was 4 Serving... 


Roughly around 30-45 minuets (My fastest record: less than 30 min)

1) For the soup:
1x small Beijing Cabbage
3x Ripe Tomato
2 or 3x Tom Yam flavored cubes ( You can replace it with chicken or beef cubes)


 2) Noodle:
Pan Mee/ Kuey Teow/ Yee Mee/ Maggi Mee/ Mee/ Bihun/ Soya Mee etc


3) Additional Ingredients:
1x Fish Cake (whole packet)
1x Crab Stick (4 sticks)

Ingredients

(You can replace it with fresh meats/ fishballs/ seafood or vege... Don't really have to follow my estimation here... )


1) Start by boiling 1 litre of water using water broiler 

2) When water is boiling, start by cutting up all the ingredients, such as: 
Tomatoes:Remove the middle stem thingy, cut it into half and than slice it into wedges 

Beijing Cabbage: Cut it into half (You can use the whole cabbage or just half of it), remove the stem thingy, slice it into wedges and than cut it rougly... 



(You have to start with the vege first, as the vege gives the soup additional flavour... sourness from the tomatoes and the sweetness from the cabbage... Fish cakes and crab stick can cut later on when the veges are boiling)

3) Once the water is boil, pour the whole kettle of water into a pot and start boiling the tomatoes first

4) Start boiling the tomatoes using high flame

(Using high flame, therefore, keep a look out of the fire.... time is limited here)

5) Continue cutting the rest of the ingredients
Fish Cakes: Slice it thinly

Ignore the messiness on the chopping board

Crab Stick: You can either cut it into half or slice it thinly

6) Add in Crab Stick and 2 cubes of Tom Yam Cubes after 10 minutes of cooking

7) Keep boiling it, the soup should start to change its colour from clear to cloud/ murky than to orangy (Thanks to the cubes)... Taste the soup, see whether do you need to add another cube for flavoring or not...

On the way...

After

8) Let it boil for a while longer than this simple dish is done... If you are eating it immediately, use another separate pot and scoop  some of the soup and ingredients inside and add in your desire noodle... DO NOT ADD THE NOODLE INTO THE SOUP POT... Dont need me to explain why right??? 


This is definitely one of the easiest and fastest way to prepare a meal for yourself or for your loved one... 

Lazy person always find ways to outsmart each other right?? 

Hope this dummy guide for cooking can help you like how it helps me.... 

Try it than...

Ciao!!!!
