Happy eating with maximum $5 at Zaiman Corner

Yippie, its Friday again!!!! Today I am back with “Happy eating with maximum $5” article. So sorry for MIS for the past few weeks.  

If you looking for Halal foods around China Town area, I believed this article will be useful for you.  I found Zaiman Corner food stall while exploring a new place with my colleague for lunch. 

At first, I never realise about Zaiman Corner whereabouts. After looked around for all the food stalls in that hawker centre, I am curious about Zaiman Corner because this stall have the longest queue compare with other stalls. So without hesitation, I decided to ordered my lunch at Zaiman Corner.

They sell many types of malay dishes such as Lontong, Nasi Lemak, Mee Siam, Mee Rebus, Mee Soto, Soto Ayam and Tahu Goreng. They also have mixed rice. The mixed rice price is vary depend on how many meat and vegetables that you choose.

Other than normal menu that I mentioned earlier, they also provide special menu that not same everyday:
- Monday and Wednesday: Nasi Ambeng
- Tuesday and Thursday: Nasi Ayam Penyet
- Friday: Nasi Briyani

That time, I tried Nasi Ambeng. FYI, Nasi Ambeng is a dish that consists of white rice prepared with chicken cooked in spicy tomato sauce, achar, shredded coconut mixed with beansprout, potato with longbean, fried coconut flesh, perkedel and cooked chili sauce. 

The portion is big and it's very delicious. I am quite amaze with the taste. It's beyond my expectation.

Will I go there again? Yes.

Jakarta Street Food Festival (14 - 30 November 2014)

From November 14-30, 2014, La Piazza has Jakarta Street Food Festival. This festival is a good place for you to enjoy your day by eating delicious foods after tired working. 

You may expect many delicious local foods and international foods in this festival. I found some foods that was also sold in Singapore like Hot Star Large Fried Chicken, Egglet, Taiyaki,  Nasi Lemak, Prata and Ice Cream Wafer.

In that time, we only tried two dishes: Bubur Kuning with Chicken and Perkedel at Bubur Kuning Plus2 and Bakso at Bakso Radja.

Bubur Kuning (Yellow Porridge) is made from porridge mixed with turmeric. Turmeric produces yellow color. They add chicken, Cakwe (Youtiao) and Perkedel into this yellow porridge. It's delicious. The only comment with this porridge is having small portion.

Bubur Kuning Plus2

Bakso Radja that we ordered was contained of four pieces of bakso (beef ball), one piece of egg beef ball and one piece of tofu. It was yummy and the soup was also delicious.

The interesting part in this festival is that they are using fake paper money like Monopoly money. In order to get this fake paper money, you need to exchange with real money at money counter.

Be sure to visit this festival if you have time before it's end.

Ratu Kepiting

What is the best seafood for you? For me, everything about seafood are best. Sounds greedy, right :p.

Ratu Kepiting offers many types of seafood dishes, but I suggest you to try their crab dishes.

We ordered Kepiting Saus Padang (Crab with Padang sauce), Soup Asparagus and two plates of rice.

The crab dishes price depends on the crab's weight.

Kepiting Saus Padang was tasty and a bit spicy. This crab meat was fresh, sweet, thick and got many crab's egg.

Soup asparagus was also not bad. It's contained asparagus, fish ball, shrimp and egg.

The dishes portion were big. Each dish could served 2 people.

Although Ratu Kepiting was a tent food stall and located in the outdoor area without A/C, we were enjoying eating at this place. 

Will I go there again? Yes.
