Cariso Delicacies Corner

Laksa Kelang Lama @ Kulim

Our next stop is Laksa Kelang Lama. I comfortably rested my eyes during the journey from Giant to here. Why? because we got a reliable safe driver (aka YummyStation) driving my car loh!

I cuma boleh cam signboard ini lah. That’s where our destination is.

This is the Headquater at Kulim. Branch available at BM Taman Jaya.

The soup base is sour. The laksa noodle texture is very ‘teeth-bouncing’. I like it!

Crackers to be dipped with laksa soup. RM0.20 per piece.

Ice kacang @ RM1.50. Ice is blended finely. Ingredients are generous, got cincau, peanut, red beans and etc.

I will COPY this idea to keep my chopsticks from outdoor contamination!

Laksa Kelang Lama, Kulim

Business Hours : 11.00 am to 6.30 pm . Closed on Monday.

Noodle Station @ Kulim Landmark Central, Kulim (Invited Review) – continue

If you browse through the Noodle Station’s menu, you will find a great choices of beverages available there. A total of 164 items in there. Wow!

Categories of beverages are :

Left row (from front to back) :
Mango Sorbet (No.201) RM6.00

Mango Snow is my TOP 1 favourite among all the mango beverages (highlighted in pink) as I simply love its super rich mango flavour in this drink.

Front row (left to right) :

I Love You Lemonade is pretty special in taste. The first sip tasted rather weird, but continuous drinking brought me surprise. It’s either you-like-it or you-hate-it.

Avoid ordering Raspberry Truffle Italian Soda if you are not daring enough to take risk.

Ice Age (No. 212) RM 8.00. This iced smoothies is pretty sweet with Vanilla, Blue Curacao & Black Currant Juice, Yogurt all blended in one.

Au Natural (No. 181) RM 6.00 . Raspberry & Lemon Iced Drinks. This one tasted like lemon-ice kacukan. Go for Iced Ceylon Lemon Tea below if you are not game to try this out!

Iced Ceylon Lemon Tea (No. 156) RM4.00

Iced Cream Cappuccino (No. 115) RM 8.00 . This is a safe-to-order item for someone who likes float.

Mocha Iced Blended (No. 120) RM 8.00 . Coffee blended. This one surprisingly tasted like iced chocolate. I love this!

Front = Pure Chocolate Iced Blended (No. 190) RM8.50 . I like this one too!
Back = Green Tea Honey Latte (No. 172) RM6.50 . I was disappointed as I couldn’t taste the green tea flavour, perhaps latte was over-powering?!

The espresso series below all tasted pretty bitter without addition of sugar.

Havana Holiday (No. 95) RM 7.00 . Espresso Mixed With Steamed Milk & Lime Vanilla, Peppermint Syrup.

After Dinner Mint Cappuccino (No. 80) RM 7.00 . Espresso With Steamed Milk & Cho, Crème De Monthe Syrup.

Snowflake Americano (No. 96) RM 6.00 . Fresh Brewed Coffee & Vanilla Peppermint Syrup.

Iced Teh Tarik (No. 150) RM 3.50

Teh Tarik Hazelnut (No. 140) RM 3.50 . This one with addition of hazelnut tasted more fragant than the one above. Order this !!!

Noodle Station @ Kulim Landmark Central, Kulim (Invited Review)

A bunch of us drove to Kulim last Saturday for a series of food hunting events.

The first Noodle Station outlet opened its first day of business in April 2005 in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. This Kulim branch was opened this year.

Noodle Station provides a very extensive menu. Their food category alone has a total of 74 items!

1. Springy Noodle Soup With Tom Yam Seafood (No. 32) RM 7.50

The tom yam soup is sweet-based but appetizing enough. No wonder this dish appears to be one of their popular dishes. I ranked it as one of my TOP 3 dishes!

2. Curry Springy Noodle With Prawn & Fish Ball (No. 25) RM 7.50

I rank this dish as one of my Top 3 too. If it could be less salty, then I could have afford to eat it more often!

That’s how the springy noodles of Noodle Station look like. Unlike the normal yellow noodles we used to have, its texture is softer and curly (almost similar to our instant noodles). It’s rather special to me!

3. Springy Noodle With BBQ Honey Whole Leg Chicken (No. 15) RM 8.00

The presentation of this dish is superb! The whole leg chicken is placed in the middle of the noodles. I prefer the gravy to be more generous so that the noodles can be dipped with garlic sauce too.

4. Springy Noodle With Fried Chicken Dumpling (No. 7) RM 6.50

It’s a bit dry per my preference. I believe Noodle Station serves the above soup-based wantan noodles far better than their dry dishes.

Noodle Station’s menu is really extensive! Other than the wantan noodles, Noodle Station also serves fried rice, fried rice noodles and fried kuey teow.

5. Fried Rice With Prawn (No. 53) RM6.00

This is a non-spicy fried rice. The taste could have been enhanced by a pinch of salt, perhaps. Not too oily, I appreciate its sense of health consciousness here though.

6. Tom Yam Fried Rice With Prawn (No. 54) RM6.50

Those who like to have their fried rice rich in tom yam paste should not be disappointed by this dish. This ranks as my TOP 3 too! It’s indeed appetizing, rich in tom yam paste.

7. Ladna Kuey Teow (No. 45) RM6.50

Due to the plate is big, the ‘hor fun’ seems to be too little when you see from this top view uh?! The ‘hor fun’ is served in big chunks oh.

8. Fried Yellow Noodle Hokkien Style- Kicap Hitam (No. 49) RM6.50

This dish is almost equivalent to those which we could get outside. Does this prove again their BASAH series is more OK than the dry series, hmm?!

9. Spicy Fried Kuey Teow (No. 44) RM6.00

I believe one could easily list down a few of their favourite fried kuey teow hawker stalls are. Therefore no matter how good Noodle Station offers also it won’t beat the hawker stalls one.

10 . Fried Springy Noodle With Prawn- No Spicy (No. 39) RM6.50

I personally think that it’s a bit ‘lembik’ for this dish.

11. Fried Springy Noodle With Thai Style- Spicy (No. 40) RM6.50

Yes,
this dish seems to be much better! Again, Thai series prove safe to order!

12. Fried Chicken Dumpling- 10PCS (No. 73) RM5.00

One can order their fried chicken dumplings under the SIDE ORDER menu. The skin is crispy but the filling is little. I am greedy. I wish that the filling could be more.

13. Honey BBQ Chicken Wing- 6PCS (No. 72) RM14.50

Perhaps due to the long exposure or waiting time in the kitchen, the chicken wings that I ate were not up to my expectation. They were a bit drier than usual.

14. Super Sandwich With Smoke Turkey (No. 67) RM7.50

I shortlisted this sandwich too. I like the way they serve the bread in thick cutting!

14. Chicken Chop With Brown Sauce (No. 57) RM10.90

The chicken chop tasted average as I do not fancy its brown sauce. I wish that it could be more unique.

Basically, Noodle Station provides a clean and cozy ambience for dining pleasure. However, I hope the franchisor can improve based on some of our minor feedbacks here and polish up their new menu soon! I wish that they can improve the foremost, their fried/ DRY dishes out of its extensive stretch of menu.

Thanks to Mr. Khoh for extending his invitation to us.
