Zok Noodle House @ Puchong

We are at nearby IOI boulevard area, so quick google brings us to this noodle house that is pretty much hyped on internet/blogs. Price are pretty standard at < RM15/RM10 per bowl and servings size are moderate or just right. The shop is located right beside IOI boulevard, so parking can be tricky but get on boxed parking and we will be 'saman' free :)


We had the spicy noodle with prawn wanton/chicken chop- it's unique tasting , not that spicy to me, and full of spices flavor that reminds me of those chinese mala style. The noodle is the mixian type so it kind of falls into the category of Go Noodle spicy noodle. I'm a fan of spiciness so this one is unique but fall short in the spiciness category.

The Wanton Prawn noodle (left) is the house special. Nothing too special about the soup after the recent tasting at Flying pan mee the soup on this one plains in comparison. The prawn wanton however lives up to its hype and is almost comparable to authentic HK prawn wanton. Noodle is the chewy texture aka QQ type so its a plus.

The curry noodle is said to be the popular dish, wife opt for no clams (si ham). Curry soup is ok thick , but compared to flying pan mee curry it's pretty obvious that the thick santan laden soup at flying pan mee is the winner in my book.


TLDR , Zok noodle serves pretty standard above par noodels - the prawn wanton is the highlight signature of the shop. We skipped dimsum as RM6 & above per serving is pretty steep price. In all honesty, the food here is pretty much over-hyped by reviewers/blogger.

Sungai congkak camping retreat @ Hulu langat



If you fancy a cool water dip and some BBQ along side this place might be a gem for you. 30min drive deep into Hulu langat from main road if memory serves me well. Per pax entry is rm1 and if you drive in I think it's RM15 per car. You drive all the way into the camp sites right beside streams of fresh cool water to dip into.

Flying pan Mee & Yiu Tiao @Jenjarom

If you are visiting Fo Guang Shan temple aka dong Chan shi these are pretty good treats for your tummy practically opposite the temple area.

Both are sold in their house/stall. So expect a very kampung environment. We were told that we should Park right beside their stall else others may ask for RM2 fees.





The clear soup pan Mee soup is sweet and it's actually mee hun kueh (hokkien) or what is widely known as hand torn strips pan Mee. The other 2 varieties sold are dry pan Mee and curry soup pan Mee. Curry soup pan Mee is pretty unique, and thick of santan taste. So good and sinful food 😅



The other home stall selling the yiu tiao and ham chim pheng should not be missed. They are only one street apart , right across , lorong 4 & 3. Super crispy, tasty and cheap priced. You can have then with red bean soup and another barley/fucuk (or something close to it) when eating in.

TLDR; cheap tasty pan Mee RM5 each , and cheap yiu tiao/ham chim Peng that's actually nice and fresh @ RM1 each. I wouldn't miss them on my trips to FGS now. :)

Time to visit 5pm onwards.

POS office Malaysia jln gurney

Just noticed my driving license expired this morning. Happen to come by KlCC side office so I either need to go KLCC or Jln gurney. Took the later as it seems near from intermark and probably less crowded. but it's a hot 25 min walk 😧😧

Renewing driving license here is pretty straightforward. Get a number from machine for 'pelbagai' wait for your turn, pass your old license and IC and pay. Collection is on the spot in less than 5 min. 

My wait is about 10min which is generously short compared to past experience at other PO (1-3 hours wait with crowds hogging all the waiting seats).



This is a good place for your PO business. Short queue less visited. Now for my hot walk back to office
