Yo Yo Ping @ Setia Alam

Yo yo ping - an ice blended/ shaved ice. It has far long history in Malaysia and I used to pleading my parents to get me one whenever we visited pasar malam.

Visited Yo Yo Ping right after a rainy afternoon. That's why the shop was not really crowded as usual.

Yo Yo Ping offers dough based options in their menu such as pan mee, nasi lemak; baked sweet potato and of course not to forget the star items: fried chicken and yo yo ice.

The fried chicken was not too bad. It was golden and crispy looking. However we think the juiciness of the meat can be improved so it is more tender and not too hard to chew.

Fried Chicken RM3.50

And here comes the star of the day, the yo yo ice! There are 6 flavours available today that is red bean, sour plum, pineapple, mango, bubur cha cha and corn. Mix flavours is available upon request. Personally i prefer the combination of red bean + sour plum. It is pretty refreshing after having the fried chicken. Mango is a big no no as it tasted like cordial. Tried their ambra and bubur cha cha before and they were not bad as well.

Expanding its business, Setia Alam is actually the 2nd branch where the first outlet i supposed is the one located in Kota Kemuning. 

Nothing very fantastic but I reckon it as one of the local flavour with reasonable price. Wouldn't mind having it again.

Win Soon Fish Head Noodles @ Setia Alam

I have always been a big fan for fish head rice noodles, or not really fish head i would say, fish paste rice noodles instead :)

This is my 3rd visit to this outlet in Setia Alam. Occupied the corner lot, Win Soon is just located behind a block from the famous Setia Alam Saturday pasar malam.

I ordered myself the sotong balls with fish paste meehoon soup. Lard fritters are used to give the soup a nice flavour and thus the soup was really good in taste. However, i doubt whether there was any msg being added in as i feel thirsty after this.

Sotong balls & fish paste meehoon soup RM9.50

Hot & spicy chili sauce

I shall still drop by occasionally to indulge in some this guilty pleasure. It's yummy, but not so healthy to have it often :)

Win Soon cafe has few franchise outlets located in different areas in KV. And now they have the outlets as below:

Soo 秀 Bakery & Coffee @ Taman Melaka Raya

Soo Bakery & Coffee - the first Korean Bakery + Coffee House in Melaka (correct me if i am worng :p). Walking into Soo, it excites me, being greeted by the wonderful array of breads and the pleasant whiff of freshly baked pastry.

Indeed this was my 2nd visit since their opening. First visit was with slight disappointment. As a no.1 fans for Cheese cake, the cheese cake served here was totally an unpleasant experience. Hard and rough texture, with no taste of cheese. Me and Gui can't even finished that small little piece of it. However, the chocolate-y drink did impressed me.

Hot Chocolate (RM8.90) with a piece of dissapointing cheese cake (RM6.90) during my first visit

Our orders for the 2nd visit: Hot Chocolate (again :), Latte and macarons.

Hot Chocolate is still good as last visit. Latte was ok according to Tze but she commented that foam was bit too much as Latte require lesser foam. Foam was not really smooth and with visible bubbles which is a No No in Latte. 

Macarons are popular in South Korea, and so how can we not to try this when we were in an authentic Korean bakery shop? The Macarons are so far one of the best we tried in Melaka. Not too sweet, and quite easy to melt in mouth.

Macarons RM2.90/pc

Not sure how much you guys like this, but this is a self-service bakery & coffee house; where you place your order at the counter at the ground floor, pay, and they will give you a receipt with a Beeping alarm thing. It will flash and vibrate when your orders are ready. Just bring it to the counter and collect your orders. Same concept as Snowflake, BlackBall etc...

Soo Bakery & Coffee also serves juices and various of Korean canned drinks! One can purchase breads and pastries here and enjoy a relaxing day along with a cuppa of coffee :) I'll be coming soon for the 3rd visit i guess...
