汽车抛光打蜡 4-Layer on Honda HR-V @ Shine Shine Car Wash USJ 21

31.03.2017 HR-V Maintenance
@ Shine Shine Car Wash USJ 21
32, Jalan USJ 21/3, 47630, UEP Subang Jaya
汽车抛光打蜡 4-Layer Member Price $316.50
Thoughts: It's $1899 for 6 times of 4-Layer external and interior treatments, the coupons are valid for 3 years. Paid for with 12 months installment.

Shine Shine is owned by a Datuk Kim, last count is 70 branches! If it is a shop, he buys the shop lot for his business. 
I think the nice thing about the membership or coupon is that you can use it for any car as well as the membership perks/discounts. Another thing is that the coupon can be used in any of their outlets. I think the biggest is at Jalan Gasing or is it Puchong! 
Mr. Tejash, the supervisor of this branch at USJ 21, and Indian who seems to speak fluent mandarin. Nice young man, explains the stuff I wanted to know before I sign-up! 
Membership perks:
. $13 for car wash (instead of $18)
. $32 for car wash with enginer wash (instead of $60++)
. $32 for wax (instead of $90+) he said should do every 2 months
. $52 for polish & wax (instead of $160+) if needed extra
But the entire process was from 9am - around 3pm, that's a long wait for me. And most of the time, they are people working on the car on various stages of the 4-layer treatment. 
For the amount of effort I see them put-in to the HR-V, I think it was well worth the $316.50. 
Cool for the job well done by Tejash and his guys but it was 6 hours of Marathon wait for me at the shop!

烧肉鸡饭 Roasted Pork & Chicken Rice $6.50
Thoughts: Still waiting for the HR-V Polish job! Such a hot day today at noon, walked to shops across the street from "Shine Shine car wash" to grab some lunch. Hesitated few places but decided on simple Roasted pork and chicken rice. 
The 烧腊 is typical, so typical that I have nothing to say about its taste.

Thoughts: So, what is the difference between Kolo Mee and Kampua Mee! For someone like me in KL, I thought it was the same.
I found few explanations in the web, here goes:
. Kampua comes in a plate while Kolo mee is served in a bowl.
. Kuching is known for Kolo mee and Sibu is known for Kampua, Miri vendors seem to be selling a cross between the two.
. Kolo mee char siew is always edged red while char siew in Kampua is brown.
. Kolo mee is served with seasoned cut chillies while Kampua is eaten with chilli sauce.
Maybe so or maybe not (that was just something from the web!)
This one here is which is Kampua Mee of 干盘面 is nice! The fact that it is not salty with any dark sauce, just sprinkle of pork and pepper plus a few slice of that char siew with red edge or was it brown since it is supposed to be Kampua!

猪肉粉 Pork Noodle @ Ooi Noodle House SS 15

30.03.2017 Breakfast
Ooi Noodle House SS 15
78, Jalan SS 15/4B, 47500 Subang Jaya
Highlights: Pork, Outdoor seatings
GPS coordinate: 3°04'36.3"N 101°35'20.1"E
Parking: MPSJ Parking
Food prices: $10 and above
Cuisine: Chinese Noodles
Terms: Cash 
Thoughts: I googled this shop and found the name '等久久 猪肉粉', I think minimum waiting time is around 30 minutes. That's what many people say on the web and that's what we were told when ordered it. 
It was $9 for the standard bowl and $10 for the large bowl. I would think for $1, most people would just order the large one! Both me and Junior seem to like Rat Noodle, but he got the smaller bowl and let me have the large bowl.
Plenty of internal organs, pork, and lard on the bowl, Soup is gorgeous as that was likely one of the selling points of this 'famous' pork noodle shop. The corner shop only has one noodle stall and only selling pork noodle. 

The problem in SS15 has always been the parking in most hours of the day, but I guess this Pork Noodle shop was worth the hastle.

三间庄干捞猪肉老鼠粉 Pork Ball Dry Noodle $7
Thoughts: Return back to 猪肉荣 to visit stall no. 3 for breakfast. My order today is my favorite Rat Noodle, dry version with pork meat 三间庄 style. Nice, because it is not too salty. I also ordered from the Yong Tao Foo stall 2 pieces of 白豆腐. Not planning for lunch, that's why I ordered a bit extra!

咖喱猪肠粉酿豆腐 Curry Chee Cheong Fun & Yong Tau Fu @ 猪肉荣茶餐室 Permai Utama E Fatt USJ 1

28.03.2017 Lunch
@ Restoran Permai Utama E Fatt 猪肉荣茶餐室 USJ 1
109, Jalan USJ 1/4G, Taman Subang Mewah, 47600 Subang Jaya
咖喱猪肠粉酿豆腐 Curry Chee Cheong Fun & Yong Tau Fu $8.8
Thoughts: When I finished the Sarawak Kolo Mee this morning, I surveyed the rest of the hawker stalls at this shop! The Yong Tau Fu stall lady owner asked me to try her cooking next time, I told her I would come back for Yong Tao Fu lunch. 
And so I did return to lunch at the same shop, when she saw me, her jaw dropped to the fall! I guessed she never expected and thought that I was just joking. The weather was steaming at 2+pm, but I do remember the last time I had "curry Chee Cheong Fun" at Genting Hawker stall (next to Wisma Cosway) where it made quite some discomfort on my stomach, likely in January on one of those teaching days in KL!
Regardless, I still prefer the "round" type (条装) Chee Cheong Fun vs the "flat" type, but I did not even asked which types she sells. Got the "flat" type lor! Picked up my favorite which is the 猪皮 to go with the curry Chee Cheong Fun. Finishing the plate, did not get any "uump" from the curry, I think with some hot chili sauce would have been much better. All in, a happy meal, and did not have a bad stomach after the meal!

砂劳越猪肉干哥罗面 Sarawak Dry Kolo Mee @ Restoran Permai Utama E Fatt 猪肉荣茶餐室 USJ 1

@ Restoran Permai Utama E Fatt 猪肉荣茶餐室 USJ 1
109, Jalan USJ 1/4G, Taman Subang Mewah, 47600 Subang Jaya
砂劳越猪肉哥罗面 Pork Sarawak Dry Kolo Mee $ 7
Thoughts: I had an idea to go find food at shops near 子文 Primary school. Haven't been that part of USJ since end of 2015. At USJ 1's Permai Utama, 2 rows of shops opposite Chee Wen, used to be Malay restaurants now both are Chinese shops 茶餐室. Parking definitely is quite easy, and no need to pay for parking lar! MPSJ's usual haunts are USJ 10 Taipan, USJ 9 Taipan 2, USJ 2 (opposite Damen) or USJ 21 (Main Place) in my experience.
Quite a few choices here at "猪肉荣", definitely worth a few more visits. My choice today is Sarawak Kolo Mee with that special barbeque pork. The whole concoction was very nice, the mee as well, the pork just a little on the dry side! The Kolo Mee lady claims the Teh Tarik here is the best in this area.

素糕点 Vegetarian Kuih @ Medifoods Organic Restaurant SS 18

27.03.2017 Lunch
@ Medifoods Organic Restaurant SS 18
61, Jalan SS 18/6, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
GPS Location: 3°03'49.2"N 101°35'08.8"E
素糕点 Vegetarian Kuih $1.80/pc 👍👍😋😋 7/10
Budget: MYR$10++
Payment method: Cash or Card
Cuisine: Vegetarian 
Parking: MPSJ 

Thoughts: Hiding at the corner of the row of shops at the end of SS 18 away from the buzzling traffic of SS15. There is the new SS 18 LRT Station just in front of the row of shops at SS 18/6 connecting between USJ 7 and SS15.
Medifood Lifestyle Cafe as it is called is more like a place of a Corner Shop Lot for Happy Hours rather than vegetarian food corner. Of course that big sign board does give it away. LOL!
Surprisingly, it was quite packed (lunch time anyway), but I supposed compared to SS15 about 500m down the road; parking is much easier here and like most Malaysians, you can double-park, park without paying for a parking ticket, or park behind the shop which are residential, or just park on the side of main road with yellow lines. And put it this way, I had to walked up and down to find a working parking machine just to pay for my spot! I guess few people like us are quite stupid! Finally placed that $0.80 parking ticket on the dashboard, I scanned other cars on the way to Medifood; very few people paid anyway! Really made me felt more stupid!
Today I did not have much appetite for mee or rice. So, I jumped on the opportunity to pick up few pieces of Vegetarian Kuih when I saw some near the buffet table and a Herbal Tea for lunch. The buffet lunch I think is maybe $13++ as I saw some uncles and aunties packed their tray to the bream. Well, nevertheless, found another "Vege place" on those "Vege days" if I needed one next time. 
Oh! the food, except for the Yam cake, the vege dumplings and the sweet kuih was quite nice.

Thoughts: Unfortunately todays' "all egg" (全蛋) Wan Ton Mee was a tad hard when biting on it, not so 爽口. The BBQ pork looks good but my cuts was mostely with burned charcoal portion on it. Don't mind thin slices as the price is $5.50 per plate! 
This stall is run by foreigners, hope the owner monitors the quality of delivery, certainly can do better. Luckily the milk tea was nice!

淋米粉面 Lam Mee @ Auntie Lora Penang Prawn Mee Main Place 槟城传统虾面 好好吃咖啡店 Main Place USJ 21

26.03.2017 Dinner
Auntie Lora's USJ MAIN Place (click to Google Map)
USJ 21, 47630 UEP Subang Jaya
Opening hours: 11:00am - 11:00pm
淋面 Lam Mee (Mee Hoon Mee) $10.90

Thoughts: I guess Lam Mee is really supposed to to well with Mee only, and hence it is called "Lam Mee", right? But I went to order "A Lot of Mee Hoon and a little Mee" combination, don't think it work out well. my fault! ... otherwise it would have been called "Lam Mee Hoon", LOL!
What perhaps usually a $6 bowl of mee or meehoon in the typical open air corner shops at Subang, if you have it at the 5 Malls in USJ that is Main Plance, Summit, One City, Damen, or Digital Mall will be $9+ to $18+. That extra $ buys a few things, "a little more comfort", air conditioned, "a little bit cleaner", what you can order will likely be a available all day long (I hope), a menu to look at to order, and yes you will get a resit, and someone will take the order and bring the food. 
I swallowed the Lam Mee Hoon "with sikit Mee", next time need to remember to order Lam Mee and not Lam Mee Hoon or Lam Kway Teow!

Thoughts: I do need some place of a little more privacy than the road side coffee shop. Starbucks at USJ 10 opens quite late on Sundays, but Coffee Bean was just nearby. 
The Salad was a welcoming sight, that cream looks "fattening" all over the egg sitting on that Bun! Coffee Bean's black coffee is good enough for me, still prefer Starbucks!
