Peter Hoe, Jalan Hang Lekir

I first heard of Peter Hoe when my colleague went there. And all I heard was it's expensive, the food was not worth it...

Obviously, I didn't have any urge to go there, until recently, when another colleague convinced me to try it.

Peter Hoe mainly is a shop that sells house decors. And tucked at the corner of the shop, was a few tables, which I assume was the 'restaurant'.

The menu was simple, some daily specials on the board (sans the price) and some cakes and quiches at the counter.

There were some choices of pastas, salads and noodles, but my eyes was set on the quiche.

The quiche looks fresh, thick and yummy. There were a few types to choose from..

SL has the Tomato and Chinese Mushroom quiche with salad (RM25)

While I had the Brocolli and carrot quiche (RM25)

So it may seem pricey, but the quiche was  huge, thick, yet fluffy in texture and extremely creamy. Both tasted fantastic, mine was filled with lots of shredded carrots, balancing the eggy cheesy filling perfectly. The crust was mostly soft, with bits of crisp at the edges, which I was fine with.

SL's mushroom, tomato quiche was equally delish, velvety egg filling and aromatic cheese makes this such a rich meal. Luckily the salad was light and fresh, wonderful pairing with the quiche.

I wanted something hot, so I ordered a bowl of mushroom soup (RM16)

It's not the thick, filled with cream types, this was more diluted but had loads of chopped fresh mushroom in it. It was quite tasty I must say, but I found it slightly oily.
I didnt have that bad of an experience actually. In fact, I rather enjoyed my meal there.
So, yes, I would return :).
One word of caution though, do ask for the price of your meal before confirming on the order. 


Peter Hoe is located at 2, Jalan Hang Lekir, 50000 KL. It's located above Popular Bookstore, use the side entrance.

The Khukri, Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin

Nearby my office, there's an area so foreign that I would have thought I'm in another country instead of Malaysia every time I venture over.

It looks, sounds and heck, even smells different.. :p

If you are wondering where I'm talking about- it's Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin.

But in the midst of all the hustle and bustle, I cant help but noticed a number of nepalese restaurants, tempting me to check it out.

It took some time, yet we finally did..

We decided on The Khukri as it seems more established compared to the rest (it's been in business for over a decade)..

Stepping in, we were the 'foreigners' as its customers was Nepalese working in KL..

Ignoring the stares, we took our seats and the waitress was quick to take our order.

We started off with a hot pot of Nepalese tea..

It tastes like ceylon with a hint of herbs. I find it ok, but some of my friends found it "smelly"

John, who didnt want to have rice, decided to order a plate of 'chow mien'.

Basically, it's fried noodles with pork and vegetables. Though it look like any typical fried noodles, The Khukri's version was surprisingly lip smacking. The noodles was full of wok hei and filled with garlicky taste. It was so yummy that I felt bad picking on John's portion :p

There's a number of Nepalese lunch set to choose from, which comes with rice, vegetables and a choice of meat..

JA chose the Khukurako Masu Ra Bhat (RM8)

The set comes in a big metal plate- we get a large serving of rice, nepalese curry chicken, dhal, stir fried spinach and sides of deep fried bitter gourd and potatoes. The curry was quite nice, not as rich as malaysia version, but still good to go with rice. But what got my vote was the vegetables! The greens was simply delicious, though a tad oily, I just love the taste. Wonder what was the secret flavoring it used- so tasty.

I ordered a Sadheko Khasi (RM10)

I only knew it's nepalese mutton- as the description in the menu was "taste of home specially in nepal".

Didnt help much eh?

The mutton was tough and gamey, though smothered with thock tomato based sauce with a squeeze of lime juice, I still find it gamey. Yicky.

SG had the same set as JA, but he chose Pork curry instead.

Here's a shot of the curries..

The pork was absolutely fatty! But SG assured us that the meat was tender and tasty.. 

Some snacks to go with our lunch..Steamed and deep fried momos..

The steamed momos were filled with juicy mince pork while the deep fried counterpart was filled with mince mutton. Both were good and provided different texture and flavour. The dipping sauce was tangy, which complemented the momos..
And interesting find, we do plan to return to try other stuff in the menu. A note of caution though, if you are in a rush, please dont try this place. It took them quite a while to serve our food even though we were the only customers who ordered at that time.

Deli Cafe and Bakery, Kota Damansara

We were at the mechanic shop as Bollywood Queen need to get something for her car..

While waiting and whiling away our time, I recalled there is a place for bread and drinks around this area..Just not sure where and what it's called..

But no harm asking right? So I tried my best to describe to taukay's wife...

Toast bread, kaya? Erm, name of place starts with D?

Oh, that's just behind our shop!

Man, am I lucky or what? hahaha..should have bought lottery ;p

And so we went to the back- it's passed lunch time but still packed with customers..

We were not keen on any of the nasi goreng/ lemak/ mee goreng etc..Just wanted a drink and bread.

Since they bake their own hainanese bread, we ordered a steamed and toasted kaya butter bread.

The wait was not long...

Steamed bread with kaya and butter..

Super piping hot, it was hard to hold and to take a bite. The bread was soft, yet had a lovely chewy, springy texture to it, giving a more solid feel to the bread rather than the usual airy types.  The kaya was creamy and smooth, the amount was just right to go with the bread. Yummeh!

The toasted bread was served soon after..

Browned toast with a nice thick cut of butter. I likey :). The toast had a light crisp exterior and charred flavour. Bread texture was lighter compared to its steamed counterpart, yet still lovely to sink my teeth into. Though I am usually partial to toasted bread, Deli Cafe's steamed version was simply delish and a notch up the crisp brother (my preference la!).

Definitely coming back to try the round kaya butter buns on my next visit :)
