King of the King Durian Pahang, Section 19 – 23 August 2017



In PJ, apart from SS2 stalls selling durian, another area where durian is sold is at Section 19. So if you think that you can get cheaper durians in a not so commercialised area like Section 19, think AGAIN.

Check out the type of durians and prices here:






If you compared these prices with those at the SS2 durian stalls, the prices of the durians at this stall is slightly higher. A comparison for your convenience:-

This stall offers a durian buffet at RM40 for each person. As to the choice of durians that they give you, I’m not sure about it. Obviously, if you know them well enough, they may serve you with Musang King!



Only 1 stall is available here and it is not as huge as SS2 Durians. Since the stall is at a corner, they have placed tables and chairs for their customers. Cold water from a dispenser is provided and you can order coconut juice at RM5.



Please take note that there are no toilets. However, wash basins are provided for you to wash your hands after eating. You can park your car illegally in front of the stalls or in the proper parking lots behind the stalls.    



Overall, after making comparison of these two durian stalls in PJ, I would choose to go back to SS2 Durians.

Restoran Siu Siu Sungai Besi – 19 August 2017

Outside the car park, heading towards the entrance

Entrance to the restaurant

Since I wanted to eat crabs for my belated birthday celebration, we decided on this restaurant based on good reviews on social media. It did not disappoint us at all and we made the right choice. 

Please call the restaurant to find out whether they have crabs or not for the day of your dinner and book the crabs in advance. Sometimes, they may not have a supply if you decide to just drop in.  

We ordered:-

Salted Egg Yolk Crab RM76.00. Normal dish, but the crabs are fresh. 


Sweet and Sour Crab RM72.00. Also, very normal dish, we did not order the buns to dip into the gravy.

 
Barbecued Pork RM39.00. Tasty with thick sauce.



Roast Duck (1/2 portion) RM30.00. This is their specialty dish, the meat was tender.  

Stir fry romaine lettuce with fermented bean curb (Yau Mak Fu Yue) RM20.00. A very simple dish yet with tasty fresh lettuce.



Chinese Fried Rice RM26.00. The normal fried rice with egg, carrot, long beans and chicken meat.


Coconut RM5.00 
Carlsberg RM17.00 for big bottle
Chinese Tea (1 teapot) RM5.00

Overall, the food was tasty good and the price was reasonable. We paid RM393.25 (inclusive of GST) for 4 adults and 2 kids. The service in this restaurant was fast. There was ample parking outside the restaurant as this restaurant is situated in a hidden area, off Jalan Sungai Besi. You may miss the turning if you don’t see the sign properly. There were parking attendants there to guide you in parking. Also, there were couple of stray dogs guarding the restaurants day and night but they are harmless.   

Other than the food, the restaurant has its own garden and it's very nice place for you to take pictures.

Salaree is 5 – 15 August 2017

This cake (after member's discount) cost around RM280.00 from Moonlight Cake House


Salaree requested for a My Little Pony theme party to be held at her Chim kindy on 15th August 2017.

I decided to order a My Little Pony chocolate fudge cake from Moonlight Cake House again since they provided me with very good service the year before. I ordered the cake about 1 month before and picked up the cake from Moonlight Cake House at Setapak.  

I called Moonlight Cake House, Setapak branch on the afternoon of 14th August 2017 to ensure that the cake has arrived and they said yes. We picked it up at 10pm and had our dinner there.

We arrived at the kindy at 9.40am, just before their snack time at 9.45am. This year we only had the cake and 20 party packs; 12 for girls and 8 for boys. The items for the party packs, are from Lolli Angels and I purposely chose a My Little Pony themed pencil case, stickers and colouring book. As for the boys, it was Paw Petrol pencil case, PJ Masks stickers and colouring book.   




Salaree’s friends stood up and sang Happy Birthday, in English and Mandarin for her. After that, Salaree blew the candles and cut her cake. Her friends love the cake so much and some of them had 3 rounds of cake. So happy that they finished the cake and I don’t need to bring it back.

So many of us to drink the BIG Tea

First time we managed to finish 



Durian SS2 – 15 August 2017



The supply of durians has dropped compared to last year. There were rumours that the best durians in Malaysia were being exported to China as the Chinese from China are willing to pay a high price for them. As to whether it’s true, only the suppliers will know.




It was my little girl’s 5th birthday and all she wanted to do on her birthday was to eat durians. So we decided to bring her to the durian store at SS2.




Check out the type of durians and choices here:


The price has gone up so much for Musang King compared to last year. Last year, it was between RM33-45 per kilo. Now, it’s RM68 per kilo and I was told some durian places are selling the Musang King for RM85 per kilo. That’s CRAZY MONEY if you ask me just to eat DURIANS.


The sweet Harlor durian

That night we ordered one Harlor @ RM38 per kg and one XO @RM38 per kg. Our Harlor was 2.2 kg and XO was 0.8kg. We also ordered one coconut at RM5.


Coconut RM5.00

You will see each table, customers will order coconuts. The supply of coconuts.....

After having our durians, we had Musang King ice cream potong. It was RM5 for each ice cream.


Musang King Ice cream Potong RM5.00

This durian place is quite huge. It started off very small and business was good so it expanded. 



So now, they have the following facilities for all its customers feasting on durians:-

(a)        wash basins and toilets for customers;



(b)        transparent plastic gloves so that you don’t need to dirty your hands;
(c)        complimentary water (help yourself at the nearby machine);



(d)        fruit juice (other than coconut); and
(e)        a small shop selling dried durians, biscuits and durian “kuih”.

There is ample parking surrounding this place. The details are:
