KL Bucket List - Honourable Mention #4

Today I thought I'd throw in a quadrella of food items that didn't make the bucket list, but are bloody good, and things I rarely if ever encounter elsewhere.

#1 Chicken Rice

This one is chicken mixed with siew yoke (roast pork). I love the chicken broth cooked rice this comes with, as well as the succulent juicy roast chicken. Oh boy it's so tasty! Plus they usually serve it with this ginger-infused chili sauce, which is just divine. I devoured this portion in just a couple of minutes!

#2 Wonton Mee

Another breakfast staple from Shangri La coffee shop, this is a tasty dish and an often favourite of the kids. It is essentially mee soaked in a soy sauce mixture, served with some wontons and in this case, roast duck. It is a rich, delectable dish, and while not one I crave often, one I certainly enjoy whenever we get some.

#3 Tiger Beer

The local beer of choice, and one I have a love-hate relationship with. It is a unique flavour, quite intense on the palate, and sometimes, too much for me. But on a hot day it is hard to go past an icy cold pint of this beer! I will miss it for sure, and if I ever see it in Australian stores, will be sure to pick up a 6-pack. More about my adventures with Tiger in another post - the good old days at the Wesly.

#4 Melon Milk

Frankly I haven't really had much of this drink of late - only once in the last year or so really. But it is a unique and lovely flavour - honeydew melon flavoured milk, as only the Japanese can recreate. The serving size is just perfect - any more would be too much - and it is just the right level of sweetness. I imagine it exists in many other places but have seen it nowhere else. I'll keep an eye out in Australian Asian stores for sure!

Ok, so that's another four honourable mentions for the bucket list of things I will miss about life in KL. Plenty more to come!
