Xiang Bak Kut Teh – Kota Kemuning (Shah Alam)
On this particular Saturday
afternoon, I walked into Xiang Kota Kemuning, a branch of the Klang Original Xiang Bak Kut Teh, right as
they opened at 11:15 AM. As the first customer, I had the freedom to choose my
seat. The ambiance, with its classic Chinese design, made me feel at home - it was
exactly the kind of setting you'd expect for an a Bak Kut
Teh meal (EASY INSTANT BAK KUT TEH RECIPE).

No-Cook Boiled Peanut Salad Recipe
Isn’t this such a refreshing, eye-catching, and
mouthwatering salad? It absolutely is! The best part? No cooking required - just
a handful of simple ingredients and a quick toss, and you have a salad bursting
with flavor (MANGO SALAD RECIPE). Boiled peanuts, also known as braised peanuts, add a soft, nutty
bite, while fresh tomatoes, cucumber, shallots, and chilies bring in crunch and
a refreshing contrast.

Durian Food Eatery - Durians Atok, Selangor, Malaysia
Our Sunday
food adventure brought us to Durians Atok, tucked away in Kampung Jalan Kebun,
Shah Alam. I stumbled upon this eatery while searching for places near Nava’s
Zen (just 10 minutes away), and what a discovery it turned out to be. By 11:30
AM, this unassuming spot was already packed, but we managed to grab a table
just as someone was leaving.

Salted Fish Sambal Recipe: Sambal Ikan Asin
Sambal
Ikan Asin, or salted fish sambal, is a cherished Malaysian classic. This
flavorful dish is a staple for those who enjoy rice meals, with salted fish
sambal serving as the ideal side or accompaniment to a variety of dishes.
Simple yet incredibly rewarding, the recipe calls for just a few
pantry-friendly ingredients. While there are numerous variations, the core
ingredients remain unchanged (PRAWN SAMBAL RECIPE).
Restoran Kopitiam Number One (Taman Sri Muda) Shah Alam
Recommended by a friend, we decided to visit
Restoran Kopitiam Number One, a corner-lot Chinese coffee shop, on a Saturday.
Parking was a bit of a challenge; it took a few rounds before we finally found
a spot. Arriving around 11:30 a.m., we were greeted by an array of hawker
stalls offering a modest yet varied selection of food. As expected of a
traditional coffee shop, staples like bread toast with eggs and hot beverages
shared the spotlight with other local favorites.

Best Teriyaki Salmon Recipe
Why
is this the Best Teriyaki Salmon Recipe, you ask? Well, it’s my very own
kitchen invention - a unique fusion of Indian and Japanese flavors. The secret
lies in the combination of familiar kitchen staples, which I’m sure you already
have on hand.
Here’s the twist: the salmon (TANDOORI SALMON RECIPE) is first fried to crispy, spicy perfection before being topped with a luscious teriyaki sauce. Can you imagine the taste? Think spicy, crispy salmon with a delightful balance of saltiness and tanginess, garnished with the fresh aroma of spring onions (EASY TIPS FOR GROWING SPRING ONIONS) and the satisfying crunch of sesame seeds.

Skin Care: Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Skin Therapy Oil
Palmer’s
Cocoa Butter Skin Therapy Oil is primarily marketed for body care, though it
can also be used as a facial beauty product (LOREAL BRIGHT GLOWING DAY CREAM). I’ve been incorporating this oil

after cleansing and showering. The product combines key ingredients such as Cocoa
Butter, Vitamin E, Natural Rosehip Oil, and Argan Oil, and is formulated to be non-comedogenic,
providing 48 hours of moisture.
