When we talk about food tripping it usually involves venturing out to a certain province or locale and eating the food there. But when Timothy Tiah took us food tripping it involved going from one restaurant to another. Ordering just enough at each place to keep you satisfied and yet not full. But after this was a series of meals where you just have to have enough space! So the food trip begins!
Shanghai 10
We started out at an MRT station underneath the KLCC Mall. We entered Shanghai 10 at a little past 1:30 PM ( my fault actually for asking a few more minutes to work a little bit more!) Tim quickly ordered in Chinese and the waitress was off. We had our own room. Tim explained that during the lunch rush, the noise level could get a way bit over the top and having an own room is sometimes not even enough.
Durian Pancakes
I was a bit thrown off when the dessert I thought came first. Durian Pancakes. (Yes durian pancakes!) It was basically a crepe made out of the durian meat and cream which was wrapped with the crepe. (They call it a pancake because it was for dessert. I dunno David explained this) It had a strong Durian taste to it which I just couldn’t get over. I guess it wasn’t for my palette.
Egg Tarts
They egg tarts came out next and they nothing really out of the ordinary. I still miss the egg tarts of Ilocos. Now those were awesome!
Fried Rice
Noodles
The noodles and fried rice arrived and I thought it was a bit odd that we were eating so little. Normally for the group that we had there would be 2 orders of each and everyone would eat to till they were full. Tim said we had to save room for the Rotiboy bun! Oh was I glad I did. After eating the noodles and rice, we quickly left and walked over to the KLCC mall where we found Rotiboy. Now if you are in KL, this is a MUST try. I cannot compare it with anything else. The bun was sweet but not too sweet. Soft and airy but when you start munching it turns full and easy to digest. I could have eaten this for awhile. If I was going to miss anything from KL, this would be it. Rotiboy. (Actually I miss Bak Kut Tey alot and regret being too tired and sleepy to actually remember to bring my camera to take pictures!)

The EPIC Coffee Bun
Tim then took us strolling (to digest our food I’m guessing!) just below the Petronas Towers! I actually liked it. I like strolling in nice parks after eating. Something I don’t get to do back here in the Philippines. He toured us to the KL Convention Center and finally walked back to the car. Of course Tim had to get dessert and well, I went to KL and had Auntie Anne’s! LOL! It was one a simple food trip. The food was not particularly unique but the entire experience was great. The park walk was awesome. The KLCC was a great mall. Thanks Tim! Till I return!

KLCC Mall
FYI. The best thing in KLCC would be a traditional Malay rice called Nasi Kerabu, red-rice dish with coconut milk and Malay curry of beef/lamb/chicken. The place is in the Asian Flavours foodcourt in KLCC.
Another place would be Sudanese Food (Sudan is a province of Indonesia) particularly the Tauhu Goreng (fried mix of Beancurd and Egg)
