Thoughts: Today's Dinner is the signature rm$13.50 "叉燒雲吞麵 Charsiew Wanton Mee" at USJ1 Damen's 大茶店 Dai Cha Dim. The meal comes with 2 large 鮮蝦豬肉雲吞 Wantons of shrimp and pork, Wanton noodles is 自製鴨蛋麵條 duck-egg hand-made noodles, 自製醬汁 home-made gravy, and 半肥瘦肉叉燒 sweet Half Fat Lean Pork Barbecued Pork - Char Siew; it is a satisfactory package but around double the price of Kopitiam style Char Siew Wanton Mee (around rm$6 - rm$7). 
The Pre-made "冰鎮奶茶 Iced bath Bottled Milk Tea" in a bottle but delivered in a bucket of crushed ice cubes, wasn't as good as expected of (very sweet) and especially it is rm$10 for the Pre-made milk tea in a bottle. 
Some menu items like the Dim Sum and Polo bun are available only until 5pm! BUT with many Ala-Carte meal items of Rice and Noodle dishes are available all-day with most of them around rm$20; and with many choices, 大茶店 Dai Cha Dim is worth visiting again.  
Next to 大茶店 Dai Cha Dim are 陳明記燒臘 Restoran Chan Meng Kee and 三美肉骨茶 Samy & Min Bak Kut Teh, all are still in Business. In this floor, Morganfield seemed always packed, even on a Friay night (full house today) while others have relatively much fewer customers. 
Looks like Singapore owned PARKSON was badly affected by the outbreak of the pandemic, with the 18-year old Parkson Plaza in KL OUG as well as Parkson 1st Avenue in Penang BOTH closed in mid-2021 due to declining patronage. Elsewhere in other states like JB's Parkson Holiday Plaza and Terminal 1 Seremban were both already folded December last year! I think USJ1's Parkson may also seen its Ending as its doors were shut today! 
At Damen's highest floor (ie the 4th floor), the China based DADI Cinema will be opening next week Monday which is November 1, 2021. Damen's 3rd and 4th floor are quite EMPTY today with only a handful of businesses left still in operation!

Thoughts: Today's breakfast is the rm$8 "東甲牛肉麵 Tangkak Beef Noodle" which comes with dark broth (not sure if it is herbal but rather a beefy broth), 牛腩面 beef brisket and 牛肚 beef stomach and 黃麵 yellow noodle. Disappointed to have chosen 黃麵 yellow noodle, it is always better to choose 瀨粉 Lai Fun. The "Tangkak Beef Noodle stall" is one of the 8 stalls in Berkeley Garden's  搵到食(瓜雪)海鮮餐廳 One Two Six KS Seafood Corner. Available hawker stalls are: 馬來椰漿飯 Malay Nasi Lemak, 油條 Chinese Fritters, 雞飯 Chicken Rice, 包點心 Bao Dim Sum, 雲吞麵 Wanton Mee, 小炒 Fried Noodles, 牛肉麵 Beed noodle, and 經濟飯 Economy Rice. The location of the food court is at the location of the OLD 百家利戲院 Berkeley Cinema. The food court is popular for older folks with a pot of Chinese tea, especially in the morning hours.
Fun Facts: Why is the Johor "東甲牛肉麵 Tangkak Beef Noodle" so popular! 東甲 Tangkak is a small Johor town just 4-5km South of the 馬六甲-柔佛邊境 Melaka-Johor Border easily accessible from the 南北大道 North-South Highway, about 2-3km from the 東甲收費站 Tangkak Toll Plaza. 東甲 Tangkak was founded in 1901, and famous for its 紡織品 Textile as well as being the entry point to 奥菲雅山 Mount Ophir or Gunung Ledang (柔佛州最高山峰 the highest mountain in Johor). Tangkak is a small town of maybe around 150,000 population and around 1/3 of its population are 華人 Chinese Ethnic. About 200km North of Singapore Island or 160km South of the KL city, many Singaporeans and KL people make regular trips to Tangkak for its popular Chinese foods and one of the favorites is the Tangkak Beef Noodle. The two most popular are 東甲肥仔牛肉麵 Restoran Do Do Do and 東甲牛腩面 Kuang Fei Tangkak Beef Noodles. Some say that the 40+year Beef noodle of "Kuang Fei" is the flagship of 東甲牛肉麵 Tangkak Beef Noodle, and the restaurant have branches in 柔佛居鑾 Kluang, 馬六甲 Melaka, and KL's 吉隆坡古仔鴻圖園 Kuchai Entrepreneur Park. 
Curious to know why is the "Authentic" Tangkak Beef Noodle so popular and have good reviews in the internet. And looking forward for a trip to 東甲牛腩面 "Kuang Fei Tangkak Beef Noodle" in 古仔鴻圖園 Kuchai Entrepreneur Park for perhaps a "better" bowl of Original Tangkak Beef Noodle.

Thoughts: J-Kissa (the "日本スタイルの喫茶店" or Japanese Style Coffee Shop" in SS16's AEON Big is now open for Dine-in (maybe a little bit more than 1 week now). And it is good to see that the 2nd floor where "JHUNT" is located, is now a little more vibrant than the last visit to AEON Big 2 weeks ago. 
For rm$8.80, you get to see the Japanese Chef-owner preparing the "法式咖啡 Cafe Au Lait" at your table. The 50-50 ratio coffee-milk was poured beautifully and expertly into the tea/coffee cup to create this unique French style coffee! 
With today's positive experience of J-Kissa's "法式咖啡 Cafe Au Lait", looking forward in the near future to sample the Cafe's 手工滴濾法咖啡 Hand Drip Coffee, 維也納咖啡 Vienna Coffee, 淡美式咖啡 Mild American Coffee, or the 冷萃咖啡 Cold Brew Coffee, maybe also with their Signature 銀座咖哩飯 Ginza Curry Rice! 
Fun Facts: "喫茶店" or きっさてん Kissaten, literally meaning "Tea Drinking Shop" is a Japanese-Style Tea drinking room or Coffee shop. "喫茶店" came about in Japan in the early 20th Century as a distinction from a Café in Japan, as Japanese Cafés had become places also serving alcohol with noise and celebration. A Japanese "喫茶店 Kissaten" was a quiet place to drink coffee and gathering places for writers and intellectuals. In urban areas like Kyoto or Tokyo, people frequent "喫茶店 Kissaten" for breakfast where they usually also have "西式早餐 western morning meals" of 厚吐司 thick toast, 煮雞蛋 boiled or 煎雞蛋 fried eggs, a piece of 火腿 ham or 培根 bacon, and a cup of 茶 啡tea or 咖啡 coffee. With popularity of まんが Manga (Japanese Comics) to the Japanese, there are also "まんが喫茶 Manga Kissa" where visitors can have access to extensive library of Manga. These new modern Kissa also have internet access and many have 私人小房間 private booths, and instead of Coffee; many Manga Kissa are equipped with 自動售貨機 Vending machines. "まんが喫茶 Manga Kissa" can be found in many Japanese Cities which operates 24 hours which has been a form of 低成本住宿 low costs accommodation option. And they also come with amenities such as 淋浴 showers and 互聯網接入 internet access in private booths, with the costs of maybe 1500 to 2500 Yen (rm$55 to rm$90) per night! 
Today's "法式拿鐵咖啡 Cafe Au Lait" is a French style coffee, the pronunciation of "Cafe Au Lait" is "Cafe Oh Lay"! It is different from a 拿鐵咖啡 Latte or 卡布奇諾 Cappuccino. First of all, 卡布奇諾 Cappuccino is made with even distribution (1:1:1) of 濃縮咖啡 Espresso, 蒸牛奶 Steamed Milk, and 泡沫牛奶 Foam Milk and the contents are layered distinctly. While the 拿鐵 Latte, comes with more milk blending the Espresso with the Steamed Milk, with the typical ratio for Espresso to Steamed Milk is about 1-to-2; which makes the 拿鐵 Latte has more Calories than the 卡布奇諾 Cappuccino due to the higher Milk ratio. The Latte is then topped with a layer of foam but much lesser foam compare to a Cappuccino! BUT Beware about ordering a Latte in 意大利 Italy as in Italian Latte means "milk" and so ordering a "Latte" in 意大利 Italy will get the customer 一杯牛奶 a glass of milk. And the correct name is "Caffellatte" or "Caffè Latte, as literally means "coffee and milk" in 意大利 Italy.
The 法式拿鐵咖啡 French style Cafe Latte or "歐蕾咖啡 Cafe Au Lait" is not the same as the American or the 意大利拿鐵咖啡 Italian Latte. "Lait" is 法文 French for "Milk", and "Au" in 法文 French having meaning of "to The" or "at The", so "歐蕾咖啡 Cafe Au Lait" means "Coffee plus Milk" in 法文 French. But the usual cup of creamy 法式咖啡加奶 French milk coffee is made with half of the coffee poured into half of hot milk, with a 1:1 ratio of Coffee to Milk. While a 意大利拿鐵咖啡 Italian Latte is made with a strong Espresso as the basis (and usually with a Coffee Machine); 歐蕾咖啡 Café Au Lait is made with brewed coffee which can be hand-poured or via the Coffee Machine, and usually less or no foam compared to the Latte.
