Big Fish Meals

Fish is my first choice when comes to having dishes, I will only opt it out when the shops that we dine in are overpriced for their fish dishes.  

My better half saw a youtube introduction of a newly opened fish shop named "大鱼 Big Fish " in the city.  We went to check it out after church last Sunday.  

It is located just opposite the new railway terminal at Aeropod Commerical Centre.  After checking on the menu, my daughters prefer to order other stuff instead of the centre piece big bowl fish soup.  I was having bad flu and cough that day (still at the time of writing this post), I ordered a bowl of fish porridge to soothe my throat.   Let us bring you along to the Big Fish Restaurant in KK, there is no MSG in their ingredient.

中發白茶樓 Jong fa Pai Seafood fish soup noodles

Fish meehoon soup is my all time favourite.  There are many kopitiams serving good seafood and fish soup in Kota Kinabalu.  I am very particular in the seafood soup base, I would judge base on the first sip of the soup.

 I had a long weekend last week.  I took leave off on last Friday to help my better half on his property auction sale, before the auction session, we decided to revisit Tawau Jong Fa Pai kopitiam at their pavilion Bundusan branch.  We noticed that the prices have increased as compared to our last visit.  We know who to blame.

One would guess the owner(s) of this kopitiam must be mahjong kaki for them to name their shop as 中發白.  I will definitely bring my mum here next time for she is a veteran mahjong player not to play mahjong but enjoy the tasty fish soup.

This is my order, Fresh Fish Meehoon soup (without milk), my better half ordered the konlou mee.  They specialise in Fish Head Noodles both with and without milk as well as milk prawn ball. 

They have got 3 branches : Market Place 88, Pavilion Bundusan & Taipan Inanam.   It is one of the famous tourists eating kopitiams in KK. (www.jongfapai.com.my)

Pumpkin Soup Fish meehoon

Recommended by a friend, we went to try the fish meehoon soup near our daughter's school.  We ordered one with fish head and the other with fresh fish meat.

When the bowl of fish head meehoon soup came, my hubby was not very pleased, because he dislikes pumpkin soup.  The soup base is not strong enough to cover the fishy taste of the fish.

First time we tried fish soup with pumpkin as main ingredient.  Overall is less than what we expected. These 2 bowls of fish head and fresh fish meehoon soup cost us RM35.00 for our breakfast.  

Fish soup breakfast

After a brisk morning walk last weekend, it's time to go for something delicious for breakfast.  My better half suggested to have laksa which he knows is one of my favourite.  But I chose my other favourite, that's fish meehon soup.

Konlou meehoon for him

fish meehon soup for me

every time I see this, I could not resist to fill up the sauce dish. Very appetizing.  I could finish a bowl of rice with just this preserved green chilies. 

Into the Fifth day of Detox and Rejuvenation Program

Just an update on how I am doing with my annual Detoxification and Rejuvenation Program (DRP).

I am now into my fifth day of Detoxification & Rejuvenation Program (DRP) today, I decided to do just 5 days this time, that means today is the last day of my Detox. One would ask whether I feel any difference after the fifth day of strict fruits & vegetable diet supplemented with vitamins in the package. I would say YES. I feel much lighter, not only slimmer, I also feel much relieve on the neck strain and headache problem that I have been suffering all this while, and I wake up more refreshing even with lesser hours of sleep.

I am more at ease in following this program as compare to last year (which I completed the course of 7 days). Probably I know what to do and what to expect in this time round.

Do I crave for food?? YES, definitely, but my will power is strong enough to resist those food placed in front of me while having dinners together with my family for the last 4 days. Craving for food is always the biggest challenge in carrying out the DRP.

If you have gone through a strict diet like what I do, I am sure you will crave for your favourite food. I can tell you that there is one food that I crave the most in these 5 days. I have told my hubby and he will bring me there after I am done with my DRP, hopefully tomorrow.

I am really craving for this Fish Soup with Rice Vermicelli that I used to have for breakfast at one of the famous eatery in town.

Let me show you what I really craving to have….

Is this mixed fish meat and fish balls soup with rice vermicelli, dip with the mixture of light soy sauce, chillie padi and calamansi juice. Yummy…I am droolling now!!!!

This is the coffee shop in Bandaran Berjaya, Kota Kinabalu, famous for its Mixed Fish Soup

Fish cake noodles

After sending our girls to school in the morning, we still have got some time for breakfast before I clock in to the office.  We have been regularly having our breakfast at Crystal's school canteen for the past 6 months and we got bored with the food there already.

One fine morning last week, we went to the new Karamunsing Capital complex looking for breakfast, it was too early that all of the shops are still closed except one, and they are serving fish noodles, yup, noodles made from fish cake.  It is not bad at all.  If you like having fish soup noodles, try this one out. 

They serve the ordinary kon lou mee too
