Thoughts: Tan Ngan Loh both sweet and bitter version same price at $3 for the hot one's, +$0.30 for the cold version. Tan Ngan Loh herbal tea is the product of a company called 文強藥廠有限公司 Wen Jiang Medical Industries Sdn. Bhd. founded in 1963 by 馮兆輝先生 Mr. Foong Chow Hwey.

南香蛋達 EggTart & 招牌鸡酥 Chicken Sou @ 南香 Nam Heong Damen USJ 1

30.06.2017 Snack
 @ 南香 Nam Heong Ipoh Damen USJ 1
1, Persiaran Kewajipan, USJ 1, 47600 Subang Jaya
南香蛋達 EggTart $2.90/pc
招牌鸡酥 Chicken Sou $2.90/pc

Thoughts: The 2 snacks that people usually take-away or dine-in are the Egg Tart and Chicken Sou. The name of the restaurant at Damen is Nam Heong Ipoh, according to web search; it is a branch of the Ipoh's venerable Nam Heong Kopitiam which is famous for its Ipoh white coffee and Ipoh chicken rice/noodle (if the web info is correct)!
There used to be a Nam Heong chicken rice restaurant at USJ 9 for many years (next to 超级补习 "Super" Tuition center), but closed a few years back due to slow business. However, this Nam Heong at Damen seems to be always full house since day 1 of its opening!
I still personally think the Egg Tart from 唐记 Tong Kee is still the best in town when it is fresh out of the oven.

叻沙(小) Junior Curry Laksa @ 阿清拉沙 Ah Cheng Laksa Damen USJ 1

30.06.2017 Lunch
@ Ah Cheng Laksa (阿清拉沙) Damen USJ 1
1, Persiaran Kewajipan, USJ 1, 47600 Subang Jaya
叻沙(小) Junior Curry Laksa $4.90

Thoughts: I have tried the normal Laksa bowl $8.90 on 12.11.2016 for dinner; it has already been more than 6 months since I tasted Ah Cheng Laksa! This time, I ordered the Junior Curry Laksa just about $5 is a small bowl of Laksa with one piece of chicken, 2 pieces of tofu-pok, few slices of bean curd, some long beans and bean sprouts. May not be enough for a lunch meal for most people but it you have a smaller appetite, this one will surely do. The curry is very creamy with coconut and I guess most people who like it will drink it all.
Ah Cheng currently has 2 restaurants outlets, one at Mutiara Damansara and another one I think at Giant Shah Alam. The others are Kiosk much like this one at Damen USJ 1. I remember there is another Ah Cheng Kiosk next door at Summit Mall USJ 1.
I feel very good about Ah Cheng Laksa today, I guess it was my own problem 6 months ago on 12.11.2016 or maybe a smaller bowl fits me better! LOL!

猪肠粉酿豆腐 Chee Cheong Fun & Yong Tao Foo @ ANN YongTauFoo at 新海景餐馆 Restoran NSV USJ 6

29.06.2017 Breakfast
@ ANN YongTauFoo at 新海景餐馆 Restoran NSV USJ 6
USJ 6/1,47610 Subang Jaya
猪肠粉酿豆腐 Chee Cheong Fun & Yong Tao Foo $5.60

Thoughts: The stall is called ANN YTF, many locals come here for the Chee Cheong and Yong Tao Foo, both take-away and dine-in. That's why the owner hires two foreign workers to help out. It is likely a favorite to the locals because he makes his Yong Tao Foo fresh everyday. Yong Tao Foo is $1.20 per piece and Chee Cheong Fun is $1.00 per piece. When the dish is served, you will always get two bottles, one chili sauce and one sweet sauce. He also sprinkles some green onions on the plate.

麥當雞和鮮奶濃縮咖啡 McChicken & Flat White 鮮奶濃縮咖啡

28.06.2017 Lunch
GF36, The Main Place, USJ 21/10, 47630 Subang Jaya
麥當雞 McChicken $5
鮮奶濃縮咖啡 Flat White $5
Thoughts: The flat white is 'like a latte with a little less milk and more espresso'. In my opinion, it is likely between Latte and Cappuccino. I think the flat white is like the "Cham" in our Tea+Coffee thing. I still prefer Latte if I want more milk in the coffee or the Cappuccino which is probably the least milk of the three. Then again, I maybe all wrong about the Latte, Flat White, or Cappuccino.
While having the Chicken Burger, I just wish it was a Pork Burger instead! Too bad, no Pork Burgers at McD here!

印度香蕉煎饼 Roti Pisang (Indian banana flatbread) @ Moorthy's Mathai Banana Leaf Restaurant USJ 4

28.06.2017 Breakfast
@ Moorthy's Mathai Banana Leaf Restaurant USJ 4
24, USJ 4/9G, 47600 Subang Jaya
印度香蕉煎饼 Roti Pisang (Indian banana flatbread) $1.50
Thoughts: Restaurant North 28 and Moorthy are next to each other at USJ 14. After the Chicken Feet Wan Ton Mee, I walked right next into Moorthy for an Indian banana roti canai. Very sweet with lots of banana, sugar, and must have been in the pan with a lot of butter as well. Nice and Fatty! There are generous amount of banana slices in the bread, the sweet banana bread and the curry dip is a challenging combination!
I am becoming a fat frog!
It is interesting to note that the roti canai or roti cane or "Indian flatbread" origin is very Malaysian or around this region and not from India.

@ 北緯茶教室 North 28 Restaurant USJ 4
16, Jalan USJ 4/9G, 47600 Subang Jaya

鸡脚云吞面 Chicken Feet Wan Ton Mee $6.50
Thoughts: Ordered the Cha Siew Wan Ton Mee initially, but walked back to change it to Chicken Feet instead. Used to be $6 not too long ago (few months I think), now it is $6.50! But the chicken feet is well cooked, very tasty. You get a pair of chicken feet and one small mushroom, no wan ton, just the soup.

鸡肉餐 Chicken Meal @ Nando's Main Place USJ 21

27.06.2017 Dinner
@ Nando's Main Place USJ 21
GF23 GF26, The Main Place, Jalan USJ 21/10, 47640 Subang Jaya

一只鸡 Full Platter $59.90 (Whole Chicken with 4 side dishes)
半只鸡 Half Platter $30.50 (Half Chicken with 2 side dishes)
Thoughts: 1.5 Chickens for 5 person at Nando is a lot on the table. The price of Whole and Half Chicken is only about $1 difference. The Peri Peri sauce is not really for the faint-hearted, every bottle I tried seems hot! According to the story of Peri Peri on the wall at the restaurant, the Portuguese discovered it in East Africa from some called "African birds eye chili"!

Drinks are bottomless (unlimited refills), they costs $6 - $8 (not all drinks refillable). But drinking water is free!

印度煎饼 Roti Canai (Indian plain flatbread) @ Restoran Seri Badar (24 Jam) USJ 14

27.06.2017 Lunch
@ Restoran Seri Badar (24 Jam) USJ 14
2, Jalan USJ 14/1K, Selangor, 47630 Subang Jaya
印度煎饼 Roti Canai (Indian plain flatbread) $1.20

Thoughts: Looks like moody skies with overcast of clouds, stinky hot even at 2pm. The Starbucks croissant only lasted less than 3 hours, I needed quick bite for the hungry stomach. Went for a drive around Good Year Court area at USJ 14 and decided on Seri Badar Restaurant. A couple of single Indians savoring their Teh Tarik in this open air restaurant at the corner of the shop lots next to Petronas Petrol Station; if there were no fans in the restaurant, it would definitely be like in an oven. It seems that Seri Badar opens 24 hours. The restaurant is visible from Jalan Kemajuan (one of the two main roads in USJ) as you drive towards Main Place next to Petronas.

I ordered Roti Canai and a hot Teh Tarik, a hot drink in a hot day can cool you down while a cold drink will make you thirstier! I like the traditional Roti Canai here, without that crispiness, it is very floury.
Teh Tarik is milky, sweet despite I asked for kurang manis!
