Soya King or King Soya?

皇豆Soya King is located at the lower ground of Queensbay Mall. 'Refreshing. healthy lifestyle', this is what they're holding on to produce the freshly made Soy Bean Milk豆奶 and Taufu Fah豆腐花.

I've chosen to try their Taufu Fah or what is easily to be known to us as bean curd. Taufu Fah is the solidified soy milk that comes in the soft, smooth yet firm texture. I've asked for the Taufu Fah with the Ginger Brown Sugar. The ginger has in fact neutralized the sweetness while still maintaining the aroma of the brown sugar. I like the idea of bringing ginger into the brown sugar that has balanced up the taste in my mouth; neither too sweet nor too dilute.
I'm not the expert of Taufu Fah or Soy Bean Milk but I do like the soy bean's taste and smell that I've had here. May have been more experts out there and I'm waiting for your suggestions ;)

Imported Soy Beans & Freshly Made at Qbean

Freshly made from soy beans at Qbean, this is where people queue up daily for their healthy soy products. Qbean is located at the North zone of Queensbay Mall and they're specialized in soy products that range from soy milk, ice cream till pancake. It has been operating since June 2010 and their customers are growing more each day...

'Love It Fresh!', the original healthy soy milk is made daily here to ensure that each customers enjoy the most original taste of the soy beans without coloring, flavouring and preservatives. I've decided to try out their Natural Soy Ice Cream. Although this is my first experience but I do love the thick soy beans' taste in the ice cream. It tastes a little bit weird but each spoon is very refreshing and not as sweet as any ordinary ice cream.

I've indeed enjoy the nice aroma of the soy beans in the air whenever I pass by Qbean. I guess you'll enjoy the healthy and original soy products that are served here, as how I've...

Here You Smell the Durian... At Balik Pulau!

June is our monthly eating trip to Durian orchard. Here we're heading to Balik Pulau, lead by CK.

Can you differentiate the species of each Durian? We've 'Gourd'葫芦, 'Red Prawn'红虾 and 'Lin Feng Jiao'林凤娇; these are the special names of each Durian species. 葫芦 and 红虾 are more towards sweetness while 林凤娇 is having a little bitterness at the end of tongue. For myself personally, I prefer sweet Durian 葫芦 because the meat is more compact. Anyway, some people may prefer 林凤娇 for its bitterness and a little of 'alcoholic' taste?!!

A special drink in this Durian orchard is the Nutmeg Juice. It's a great pleasure to enjoy the cold nutmeg drink while eating the 'heaty' Durian. The nutmeg juice here is not so 'pure' as it has been mixed with plenty of sour plum. Anyway, for someone alike me whom dislike the strong nutmeg's aroma, you'll enjoy the taste. Besides, the Rambutan红毛丹 here is FOC (Free of Charge). What you need is only the skill of plucking by yourself...

I'm not so fancy about Durian but my boyfriend is. It's funny to see him laze around after a satisfying Durian's lunch...

Have you ever been to Taiwan? If yes, what is your most unforgettable snacks?

Shihlin士林 is a place in Taiwan that I guess most tourists will not forget about their wide selection of street snacks. One of my favourite is the skinless and fat free fried chicken fillet. Here I get this XXL Crispy Chicken超大鸡排 at Shihlin Snacks士林台湾小吃. They're the franchise with small store concept that can be located inside Queensbay and AEON Seberang Jaya. The XXL Crispy Chicken is garnished with chili powder before serving. I do enjoy the saltiness, spiciness and crunchiness except that the meat is slightly thicker comparing to what I've in Taiwan.
Wandering around and window shopping, the XXL Crispy Chicken is indeed a nice snack that I can tag along and to fill my stomach.

Time to Write About Pancakes... PHOP

PHOP or is known as Paddington House of Pancake, located at Level 1 Queensbay Mall. It has been operating for quite some years yet unable to be well-known to attract more customers. Why? I guess it's partly due to the design and decorations of the restaurant. Imagine, who'll want to have pancakes in a fine dining alike restaurant?

Turning into the menu of PHOP, I'm amazed that what can a pancake do. It's no longer once upon the time... Pancake can be as main course or dessert, salty or sweet, with meat or sugar; you can eat pancake in any ways that you can spell it. Like it says '100 delicious pancakes, 1 tough decision', I've indeed drown in the various selections of pancake. Anyway, I've decided to go for the Crepes with Seafood Marinara. Crepes is belonged to the thinnest category in the family of pancake. An interesting presentation of pancake, the seafood cooked with the tomato-based sauce is wrapped inside the crepes. The chef has put in too much cheese; the taste is too cheesy that my squid and prawn are swimming inside the sauce. I like the freshness of the seafood and the sourness of the tomatoes that go well together, but not to have my crepes drowns in the sauce.

PHOP is an interesting place that it recommends the amazing ways that I can have my pancake. Yet, is it ideal to create such 'elegant' ambient for pancakes? It's up to you to decide.
