Cafe Tai Lei Loi Kei
Cafe Tai Lei Loi Kei is a cafe in Macau famous for its Pork Chop Buns. Apart from the Pork Chop bun, they do serve other snacks as well as drinks. However, you can never say that you have eaten here unless you have had their Pork Chop Buns. Extremely popular with both locals and foreigners(especially people from Hong Kong), the Pork Chop Buns usually start selling at around 3pm and tend to sell out before 5pm. Also, expect a queue for purchasing these buns.
The Pork Chop Buns served here have a crispy exterior and a juicy Pork Chop right in between the bun. I personally found the bun a bit on the tough side but it was still good overall. They also have new varieties like the Pork Chop Pinapple Bun and a few others but first timers definitely have to go for the original. The price for each bun should cost just over 10MOP.

Restaurant Yung Kee
Restaurant Yung Kee, located in Central Hong Kong is renowned for its Guangdong(also Cantonese or Hong Kong) cuisine and has won many awards locally and internationally. This 1-star (Michelin Guide) restaurant has a history of over 70 years and is still going strong, attracting huge crowds especially during lunch time. Although it has multiple floors, expect a waiting time of at least 10 minutes should you head there during peak times(Lunch and Dinner).
Yung Kee is most known for its Roast Goose, 燒鵝. The roast goose served here was indeed very tasty, with its honey glazed skin and rich tasting meat making it a real pleasure to have. Note that unlike other less well prepared roast goose dishes, the meat does not feel dry and is instead very juicy. Among other things, I also tried out the vegetables with preserved goose liver and meat. Albeit a little on the oily side, the dish was very fragrant and goes well with rice. The fried beef noodles(乾炒牛河 or dry-fried beef hor fun) was also quite well done but is not as well done as the other dishes that I have tried. Also, they do sell preserved meat and sausages at their restaurant.

"Egg tarts, custard tarts, or egg custard tarts are a kind of pastry popular in many parts of the world, particularly in Chinese and Western European cuisines. The tarts consist of an outer pastry crust that is filled with egg custard and baked."
Note: Traditional Egg Tarts are not to be confused with "Portuguese Egg Tarts" which have a creme brulee and caramel like top and is sweeter in comparison.Read the full article

Kedai Makan Choy Kee
Perak's Best Kept Secret. The humble small town, Sungkai.
Many would have been introduce to one of Felda Residence's project, Sungai Klah Hot Spring which is located at Sungkai, Perak. Its something that we Malaysian need not spend bucks to travel to Taiwan or Japan for some hot spring therapy experience. Note: its only one and a half hour drive-time from Subang, Selangor.
10 minutes drive from the resort, you'll reach Sungkai's town. Its only like a street size (no joke). You'll find one restaurant at the main road which is packed with "eaters", then that is of course Kedai Makan Choy Kee.
I visited Choy Kee twice during my two days stay in Sungkai, and believe me its worth waiting for an hour for the food to arrive (during peak hour: lunchtime and dinnertime) its lip-smacking good. and the bonus is the darn-reasonable price.
