Basically Oct is considered great month to visit KK, especially end of Oct where you get to witness the grand International Climbathon. Candidates come from all over the world, compete to climb Mt Kinabalu with the speed of Shinkansen.
I could not imagine, while I took 2 days to reach the summit, the competitors take less than 3hours to complete the whole to and fro journey.
Apart from this world class event, Oct is also the season of durian.

Apart from this world class event, Oct is also the season of durian. If you are a big fan for durian, you get to sample different species of local durian including the wild durian with long tiny thorns and red orangey meat called Durian Dalip. 
Also, you get to enjoy heaps of mangosteen and other local fruits on season.

We got no idea what to order and could barely relied on the Chinese boss‘s advice. He recommended us fried Mi Tuaran 炒斗亚兰面 (RM15) . Mi Tuaran is a type of noodle produced from the town called Tuaran, it looks wavy and yellowish, springy and less sticky. Usually they fried it with egg, cabbage and seafood.
Colleague’s hubby Kiat spotted the swamp eel in tank. He would like to try some but obviously this is a mental challenge for the girls. As such, boss suggested frying a small portion with hot & spicy Gong Bou style 宫保鳝鱼(RM18).
According to Kiat, blood is the most precious part of eel therefore must not be drained, walala, sound like an expertise huh!? Different from Unagi, this eel was chopped into the length of 2-3cm without being deboned.
I threw a small piece into my mouth and tried not to think about the fact that I was munching a snake-like creature, the texture of the skin was rubbery and not much of meat. Exotic it is, but definitely NOT my type of food, I quitted after 2nd piece, thanks, but NO, thanks!!!
Lastly, fried sweet bamboo shoot 清炒甜笋(RM10) which I think was good.
I was the one who finished the quarter of it. 
This meal costs us RM48 inlcuding drinks.

Cheong J said he used to eat the yellow thin noodle like every others. Tossed with fried garlic and a sprinkle of spring onions, the minced meat looks appetizing indeed.
We already had the thin yellow noodle at Ngau Kee, no more noodle please!! We went for kueh teow (flat rice noodle) and mihun (thin rice noodle) instead. Obviously this is not wise as you need a lot more the minced meat to brush up the mihun otherwise it looks so pale! So my advice is, don't ever go against the main stream!
Noodles served with a bowl of beef balls for only RM4.80. The beef balls were springy, but guess not as exaggeratedly bouncy as the ones we had at 
Beef products are Moon's all time favorite, so we requested a mix combo, and it's only RM5.30 (if only I remember correctly). Not sure if tenderizer was used, the beef was soft, overall, I do agree with Cheong J, yeah, the soup is hundred times better than Ngau Kee's one ( which I called it tasteless)....but then, come to talk about the minced meat, I dare to say, so far no one in KL could ever beat 
The stall is just in front of Toto at the Peel Road Wai Sik Kai. Heard it only opens at night.
Total 6 big beef balls were given, pretty generous, I think. The beef balls were really bouncy but I find it kind of "unusual". I’m not a Pro in this but I do have heard some manufacturers in food industries use 
On top of that, we added a bowl of mix beef tripe with beef tendons (RM10/bowl). The soup was plain, close to tasteless ( I bet you could tell from the pic itself). Beef tripe was crunchy but Moon was suspicious if it's the effect of food additive. And the chili dip, that's another BOO factor, weird and watery…..didn't bother to dip also. 
From Cheong J’s facial expression, I knew what he ‘s going to say about it...”Nice or not?”I asked, just to reassure my assumption was correct. He shook his head.
Famous for what!!!?? 
The Yi Poh 
What else is good? How about a bowl of hot and spicy pork 's innards which comprise crunchy pork's intestine and chewy pork's stomach, hot, hot, hot!
Last but not least, the meat ball that made of pork's tendon, nicer texture compared to the usual meat ball.
Bountiful 3JC meatballs, minced pork cooked with dark soy sauce, fried intestines and sprinkles of spring onion, SO LUSCIOUS.... 
The stall next to BJC also sells pork noodle, but it's different type of pork noodle that cooked with pork innards like liver, kidney and lard. Wing Heng is definitely the heaven for porky lover, haha!
The restaurant was designed to create the ambience of traditional Chinese Palace, splendid yet comfy!
Scanned through the menu, just some usual stuff, pricing was a little dear....decided to sample some dim sum! ;-)
Total 8 of us, some of us had wantan mee soup with dumpling...... Oh, I regret I didn't keep a photo of the dried wantan mee, a patch of oyster sauce topping the plain wantan mee, from the way it looked, I doubt.....hmmmm........
some of us including myself took the porridge.....smooth....
Moon ordered 2 plates of 
For dessert, it was 
Not that I am fussy about food, with the fame and this high price (how much you guess!!?? 1 piece of YELLOW note in exchange of 2 RED notes, pricey right!?), contrary to our expectation, the food quality wasn't that parallel with the amount of money we paid, that's the least satisfying one among those we visited in Hong Kong so far!
New Island Café is a typical Hong Kong style Café aka Cha Chan Teng 茶餐厅 that serves typical Hong Kong style breakfast set.
Instant noodles served with beef brisket. 
Noodles laden with gigantic fish ball. That's the only goodness we discovered in this shop, springy and BIG in size! ;-P
Senado Square surrounded by bright pastel South European-styled buildings and paved with black and white cobblestones. It is also a popular venue to host public events.
It is a 3-storey eatery with compact layout so much so there are tables set on the staircase. 
Almost each table was taking noodle and porridge, we thought of having noodle as well. 
The chili was quite different from the one in Malaysia, it tasted a bit oily and salty.
Moon and myself had wantan mee. The noodle was so dried and it's close to tasteless...Bad choice!
We also ordered char siew (BBQ pork) and roasted duck to go with the noodle.
Fried dumpling was crispy except too little filling!
Despite our high anticipation, we walked out the shop with great disappointment! The texture of the noodle was somewhat hard (to be frank, THIS probably is the worse noodle I have ever had so far). A very wrong decision for our first lunch in Macau indeed! ;-( 
Stepping into the shop, you find pictures of tempura, maki, grilled salmon and others Japanese food, all these are the side dishes you may get to order here. 
When I first visited this shop, I was impressed to see the waitress keying in our order with a PDA. Really Hi-tech kopitiam!! ;-P
For dried noodle, the soup served separately with much thicker savor.
Pork Noodles Soup laden with mincemeat, pork liver, sliced pork, cabbage and shrimp
For side dish, grilled mackerel (saba yaki) is a safe choice!
The herba drinks that we like to order. 
Hong Cha situated along Jalan Hujan Rahmat 3, the 1st right turning immediately after the OUG BHP Patrol Station which is supposed to be on your right if you come from Old Klang Road.
