You made me do it…

You made me do it, smallkucing! You put up a post on egg tarts and I just had to go and have these…

Oooo…what lovely Portuguese egg tarts these were! The pastry was so flaky that I just couldn’t help making a mess while eating them. Yum! Yum!

LOL!!! Actually, the truth is that my ex-student, Xavier, was leaving for KL on Sunday and then to the UK to further his studies and on Saturday morning, we went out for dim sum or what they call yum char at some places.

I took him to the old place which I feel is nicer than the new one – even though it may not be as cheap. We also had the char siew pao (barbecued pork steamed buns)…

…and the steamed buns with butter and salted egg custard filling…

…that I like a lot. Ooooo…so creamy, so very nice.

Xavier mentioned xiao lung pao (small dragon steamed buns) so I ordered them for him…

…just in case. People say that if you’re travelling and you talk about eating something, you will just have to eat it. What a good excuse to gorge oneself with something, don’t you think? LOL!!! Well, personally, I’m not crazy about those as I don’t really fancy the very gingery soup inside.

Now, I really must get rid of my habit of looking around at what the other people are eating everytime I go somewhere. I saw this at one table…

…and of course, I just had to order it for myself. Oooo…wat tan hor!!! I guess that’s what it is called. All this while, I would just refer to it as Cantonese-style fried kway teow. It was just so-so – I would expect the kway teow to be slightly-browned or burnt for that very nice fragrance or what people call wok hei, if I’m not mistaken.

Then, when I went to the gents, I saw some people eating what looked like KL Hokkien mee. Now, I would have to try that but I guess that will have to wait till the next time I drop by the place…and don’t blame me for that! They made me do it! LOL!!!
