After hearing much praises from my senior regarding this porky restaurant, I just got to check it out!
What we have ordered:
1) Drunken Pork Knuckle The pork knuckle was bath by a bowl which contains 5 types of Chinese wine which was then lighted up in flame. You can witnessed a blazing pork knuckle show for a minute :D Mmmm.. I can definitely smell the alcohol! Verdict : Full of fragrance of Chinese wine. Recommend to those who enjoys dishes that infuse with Chinese wine. Not recommended to those who dislike alcohol and oily dishes.
2) Pork Tendons I love it, the Pork Tendons size are reasonable large compare to the one I have eaten at Super Tanker Restaurant. Verdict : I will definitely order this again! Thumbs Up!
3) Toufu with salted fish The toufu is smooth and tender. The hint of salted fish bring all the flavour all together in one! Verdict: Will order this again :)
4) Spring egg I was disappointed at this spring egg. Couldn't taste the flavour of the infused black sauce. I have tasted better one where I could taste the richness of the egg yolk. Verdict : Will not order this again.
Hope you guys enjoy this simple review. Warmest Regards, Eileen Elena.

Hello everyone! Hope you all been well, to all women out there please stop and read my post.
I am 24 years old considerably young and healthy. I watch my diet, I rarely consume alcohol and I dont smoke nor take drugs. However unfortunately recently been diagnosed of having Endometriosis and having cyst in my womb, which literally rock my life upside down :(
Endometriosis is still a fairly "unknown" illness, despite the fact that it is one of the most common gynaecological problems.
So what is Endometriosis ?
Endometriosis is an often painful disorder in which tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus, grows outside your uterus. The caused is sadly unknown yet.
Important note that I want to stress out even further is Endometriosis is hard to diagnose and because of general lack of knowledge, there is often a long delay between a woman going to a doctor about her symptoms. An average it could take eight and half years to be diagnosed.
Based on my experience, general doctor usually prescribed pain killers to overcome period pain. Beside that period pain is usually been ignored as one of the symptoms of Endometriosis. In short, your doctor might overlooked it.
What are the Symptoms of Endometriosis to look for?
1. Abdominal cramps or backache during period 2. Painful bowel movement 3. Heavy of abnormal menstruation bleeding 4. Difficulties of getting pregnant How to diagnose endometriosis?
One of them is through laparoscopy. It requires 3 small incisions where the surgeon then introduces a camera and some instruments into the belly to look over the female pelvic organs. Through laparoscopy, the surgeon is also able to remove affected tissues.
Here is my journey on pre and post Laparoscopy: Day 1- Admission to the hospital
Before 12 midnight , no water and food intake.
IV drips will be replacing your water intake to keep you hydrated.
Day 2- Surgery Day
My whole surgery process takes around 2 hours.
My Gynaecologist removed my cyst and my affected tissues. She diagnosed me of having stage two endometriosis. *Report from lab found out there is no cancerous cells spotted* Thank God!
I was feeling drowsy the whole day, some may experienced vomiting due to the allergic reaction of anaesthetics. I barely could walk due to nausea and drowsy feeling. *needed nurse to lift me up*
Still on IV drips and I hate IV drips the feeling of water gushing into my vein is making me uncomfortable.
Day 3- Post Surgery Day
More energetic, able to walk and do simple things.
Sill feeling drowsy especially after medication.
Today will be my last day of IV drips *Horray* Day 4- 2nd Day Post Surgery
Due to my continue internal bleeding, I have to get a few more injection to stop it thus I have to stay one more night in the hospital.
Day 5- Check out Day
Was able to go home but still continue experiencing internal bleeding. Emotionally wise became better as I am very happy to be home. Able to walk slowly, belly button incision start to ache a little.
Day 6- Emotionally stable
To be able to wake up on your on bed is already a blessing. Dutifully eating all the prescribed medicine. There is a total of 3 types of medicines and 1 pain killer.
Tips: I recommend to download Medisafe apps, it act as an medicine record and reminder for you on when to take medicine.
Day 6-20-Experiencing internal bleeding and emotional unstable
Due to my cervix was badly infected, I still experience internal bleeding longer than usual. I have to constantly be aware of my panty liners to avoid any unnecessary spillage. My emotional swings quite badly, having nightmare constantly throughout a few nights, hardly I could sleep well.
Day 20- 26- Experience itchiness and pain on the scar, emotional stable
My mum told me is a sign of healing and I hope so too. My emotional turn back to normal, thanks to the support of my friends and my parents.
Overall, I am blessed that I have finally found out the caused of my excruciating period pain as I have been struggling it for a prolonged period. Bed ridden, tossing on the bed, screaming in pain is not what a women should endure.
Lastly, I would like to stress out that all women should go for a check up with a gynaecologist at least once a year especially if you are experiencing those symptoms that I have just mentioned above.
Here is a short video to send a message out to all women out there:
Disclaimer: All these mentioned above is based on what I have experienced and information gathered from my gynecologist and through the internet. I am not a qualified medical practitioner. Please consult your doctor, or other qualified health care professional.
Hope each one of you have a great Christmas celebration.
I have started to feel the pinch on my purse especially during Christmas week as I tend to go out more often to meet up with my friends. At the same time, New Year is coming soon and I am getting more invitation for food outings. Gonna be broke pretty soon.
Here comes the rescue! Worthy Book have come out with their latest F&B edition for 2015-2016.
It works like groupon, the different is that you got to purchase this book first which cost RM29.90.
It has a variety of cuisines to choose from with different type of coupons.
Here is how it works, first pick a location "Midvalley".
I would flip those pages where it stated "Midvalley".
Manmaru is at Midvalley!
Thus, I am able to use its "Buy 1 Free 1 any Udon dishes".
Spotted Manmaru !
I am able to choose over 32 varieties of Udon, the free bowl will be either equal or lower value.
I am impressed by their varieties, we took some time to figure out what we want.
Finally we choose :
Niku Kimchi Udon @ RM 19.90
Sliced beef with Korean style spicy Udon Soup.
Ishiyaki Eringi Udon @ RM19.90
Stir fried assorted mushrooms with Udon in Hot Stone Bowl.
I love the Udon texture, its a bit thicker and chewy than the usual Udon available in the most Japanese chain in KL. Thumbs up from me :)
Time to pay for the bill, just tear out the coupon and pass it to the waiter.
Total damage : RM23.90 for two person which includes two green tea @ RM2 each.
In total per person with drink cost RM12.
A bargain I would say !!
Next stop : Dessert @ Komugi
I decided to use two of out of the four coupons, "Buy 1 Free 1 Creamy Custard Krone" and "Free 2 Macaroons with purchase of any slice cake OR roll cake".
I choose Honey roll cake @ RM 4.90 and got two free macaroons (Apricot cheese & Matcha flavours), each worth RM4.25.
I love their macaroons, I was surprised that it actually tastes good!!
Bought one Creamy Custard Krone and got one free.
I am not a fan of custard but my mum love it.
Guess what !! I only pay a damage of RM10.30 !!
The best part is I could share it among 2-3 people.
Each person cost around RM3.50.
Good damage:
This would really come in handy especially when food prices keep increasing these days.
A savy way to save money and enjoy at the same time ;)
I have managed to save a total RM33.20
1. A free bowl of Udon noodle (RM19.90)
2. Two free Macaroons (RM4.25*2 = RM.8.50)
3. A free Creamy Custard Krone (RM4.80)
I got my return back of RM3.30 since the book cost RM29.90.
If you continue to use these coupons, I believe you will be able to save much more.
On the side note, it depends on your location and preference.
The good thing about this is that you are able to see all the listed restaurants before consider purchasing it. Click on the link below to know more!
Note : FnB Edition is available at all major bookstores (Popular, MPH, Borders, Kinokuniya and Times) and selected myNEWS.comand 7-11 outlets in KL and Selangor.
For a hot sunny afternoon, one must order their coconut blend drink @ RM6!
Its a combination of coconut juice with a scoop of sweet vanilla ice cream
*its a bomb of a good refreshing start of the meal*
Due to our lack of knowledge on Filipino food, we opt for the advise of the restaurant owner for some recommendations instead.
He is humble and patient with us as he explained each dishes that he recommended to us.
First dish : Pork Sisig @ RM12
Description: Is a Filipino dish that originated from Pampanga, a province located at the northern part of the Philippines. Known as a popular appetiser for beer drinkers.
It came in a hot plate with a raw egg on top, in this picture below, the staff had already mixed it together with the minced pork containing both ears & jowl.
The texture taste similar to a burger patty with a hint of chilies & calamansi.
A good option to start off eating Filipino food!
Second dish : Sizzling Stuffed Squid @ RM20
The squid is cooked in a perfect timing as it turn out to be soft and tender. *freshness from the sea*
Thumbs up *I really like it*
Third dish : Pinakbet @ RM14
Description: Pinakbet is an indigenous Filipino dish from the northen regions of Philippines. It is made from mixed vegetables steamed in fish or shrimp sauce.
For those who love steam vegetables you got to order this :D
This is a clear winner of all the dishes that we have tried! *Crowned dish*
Crispy skin and yet tender meat, this is the two main characteristics that a pork knuckles should have.
I can clearly see the satisfaction of my friends face, in just minutes the pork knuckles got stripped off, just left its chunky bones. Is either they are all a hungry beast or its just really delicious.
It comes with a soy-vinegar dipping sauce which can be a help for those who needs more kicking flavours or moisture.
Fifth dish : Grilled Milk Fish with Tomato and Onion @ RM25
First Presentation:
Second Presentation:
Description: Milkfish is known as bangús in the Philippines, where it is considered as a national fish.
The milk fish is stuffed with onions, tomatoes and ginger accompany with a spicy dipping sauce.
However this come in a slight disappointment for me as I find that the fish was a bit on a overcooked side. However my compatriots find it alright.
Nevertheless I have to give a thumb up to the chef on his de-boning skill sets, as this fish is known for its bony skeleton, it must be carefully removed to avoid customer being choked by its thorny bone
Overall damage :
For a group of 5, total damage was RM153, each person RM30.6.
I got to say overall is a reasonable pricing as one can have a coconut blend drink and yet at the same time able to try 5 authentic Filipino dishes!
Good news : no service charge and government tax *Bonus point x 2 *
For more info :
Address: 3, Jalan Gereja, Kuala Lumpur.
It is a few shops away from Muzium Telekom and its near St.John Cathedral.
Hope you guys enjoy this review of new adventure on Filipino Food :)
Lots of hugs,
Elena.
