Nong Geng Ji Hunan Cuisine @ Sunway Pyramid
A quick lunch at Nong Geng Ji Hunan Cuisine @ Sunway Pyramid 🌶️🥢
Last month, when I went to Sunway Pyramid for my youngest daughter Cass's figure skating competition at Skate Asia, we stopped by Nong Geng Ji Hunan Cuisine for lunch.
I only had about 30 minutes to eat because my taxi was coming at 3.30pm to drive me all the way back to Ipoh. So this was definitely a case of eat first, chew later. 😂
Cass's dad ordered three dishes for the three of us — dry pot shredded spicy cabbage, stir-fried silky tomato omelette and stir-fried free-range chicken with tea oil.
Everything was really good, but my favourite was the tomato omelette. 🍅. I honestly didn't expect a simple-looking tomato-and-egg dish to be the star of the meal, but it was SO good.
The bill came up to RM120.50 for three dishes, which I thought was pretty reasonable for a restaurant in Sunway Pyramid. And the portions were quite generous too. Because I was rushing and could only eat a little, there was still quite a lot of food left. Cass happily tapau-ed the leftovers for her lunch the next day. 😂
There was even free ice cream for diners, but sadly, yours truly had zero time to investigate the ice cream situation. 😭🍦
I also really liked the ambience. The waiting staff were dressed in traditional Hunan-style costumes, which added a nice touch to the whole dining experience.
Nong Geng Ji is a China-origin Hunan restaurant chain that came to Malaysia in 2024, and the Sunway Pyramid outlet opened in 2025. It has also received pretty good reviews from diners.
The next time I'm at Sunway Pyramid, I'll definitely go back — hopefully with more than 30 minutes to eat this time! 😂
If you're at Sunway Pyramid and in the mood for something a little different from the usual Chinese fare, Nong Geng Ji is definitely one place you can consider trying. 🌶️🥢

Have you tried Dutch Lady x Tealive’s new packet milk?
The other day, I spotted two new products in the chiller at 99 Speedmart — Dutch Lady x Tealive Signature Matcha and Dutch Lady x Tealive Signature Milk Tea.
I picked up the Matcha flavour to try. It’s RM2.60 for a 250ml pack with a cap.
My verdict? The matcha notes are nicely balanced with the milk, but it’s a little too sweet for my palate. 😅 Since I hardly ever drink packet or canned drinks or flavoured milk, I guess I’m just more sensitive to the sweetness.
I found a way to enjoy it, though — I added it to my plain yoghurt, and the tartness of the yoghurt helped balance out the sweetness. It actually worked pretty well! 😂
Next, I’m going to try the Signature Milk Tea. Let’s see if that one suits my taste buds better.
Have you tried either of these two new Dutch Lady x Tealive packet milk? What did you think?

Affordable & Delicious Chap Fan in Ipoh
Our lunch is usually chap fan, while Dad takes care of cooking dinner. Depending on the day, we'll either tapau our lunch home or eat at the shop.
Today's lunch from Resipi Chong, Ipoh Garden came to just RM23.90 for the three of us. That's pretty good value!
We only dine in when it's Resipi Chong because it's air-conditioned, clean, comfortable, and has a pleasant ambience. They also provide free soup, drinking water, tea, ice cubes, and tissues.
One thing I really like is their wide selection of dishes—there are easily 50 or more to choose from. Every dish has a price tag, so you know exactly how much you're paying before you fill your plate. Fish can be a little pricey, ranging from RM7 to RM16 per piece, so we usually choose carefully.
We often stop by for lunch here after fetching Mum from her physiotherapy session.
Economical, tasty food, a comfortable place to eat, and best of all... no cooking, no washing up, and no cleaning the kitchen afterwards! 😄
| Dad took two dishes + plain congee, mum took 3 dishes with rice and mine, as you can guess, is without rice, almost keto. |

Domino's New Pizza Puff – A Tasty Grab-and-Go Meal for Only RM9.90
Yesterday I received some complimentary samples from Domino's Pizza to try their brand-new Pizza Puff range.
Wrapped in a golden, flaky crust and folded into a half-moon shape, the Pizza Puff locks in the heat and its generous fillings, giving you a warm, satisfying bite from start to finish. Unlike a traditional pizza, everything is neatly sealed inside, making it easy to enjoy on the go without the mess.
At only RM9.90 each, it's a great grab-and-go option for lunch, dinner, or whenever you're short on time but still want something hot and filling.
The Pizza Puff comes in three delicious flavours:
🍕 Loaded Beef – Ground beef, beef pepperoni, smoky BBQ sauce, and melted mozzarella.
🍕 Loaded Chicken – Chicken potpourri sausages, chicken pepperoni, tomato pizza sauce, and melted mozzarella.
🧀 Loaded Cheese – Perfect for cheese lovers, with a rich molten cheese centre, melted mozzarella, and tomato pizza sauce.
My personal favourite is the Loaded Cheese. If you're a cheese lover like me, you'll probably enjoy this one the most! The moment I received the Pizza Puffs, they were still piping hot and I immediately dug in. The crust was very crispy, while the inside was soft, hot, and generously filled with gooey melted cheese and savoury fillings in every bite.
For just RM9.90, I think it's very reasonably priced and surprisingly filling. If you're looking for a quick, convenient meal or snack that's easy to eat on the move, Domino's Pizza Puff is definitely worth a try.

Cheapest Roast Chicken & Roast Duck in Ipoh at Restoran & Kafe New Weng Fatt
I think I've found the cheapest roast chicken and roast duck in Ipoh!
I discovered this hidden gem at Restoran & Kafe New Weng Fatt, Ipoh Garden South, after my 80-year-old mum and I finished our gym session nearby.
For just RM5 (without rice), you get a generous serving of beautifully roasted chicken breast with a lovely charred aroma. Even the roast duck breast is only RM5 per portion without rice! Great value, and the meat is tender and delicious with herb sauce.
The chicken rice seller was also incredibly friendly. I asked for extra cucumber, and he happily gave me more with a smile—no complaints or excuses, unlike some places.
Right next to the chicken rice stall is another stall selling Ipoh-style kai si hor fun (shredded chicken noodles), lam mee, and curry noodles. Mum ordered the Lam Mee (RM9), and we were pleasantly surprised. The rich chicken broth was excellent—honestly, I'd put it on par with the famous kai si hor fun soup at Lou Wong and Thean Chun in Ipoh Old Town.
I'll definitely be back to try their curry noodles and kai si hor fun to see how they rank among Ipoh's best. Have you been here before?

Muzi Matcha Cafe @ Tambun, Ipoh
Tucked away in the peaceful neighbourhood of Tambun, Ipoh, Muzi Matcha Café is a hidden gem that feels like stepping into a serene Japanese retreat. Housed in a charming bungalow, this café has quickly gained popularity for its Instagram-worthy aesthetics, calming ambiance, and of course—its dedication to all things matcha.
From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere was soothing and inviting. The minimalist Japanese-inspired design, combined with soft natural lighting and greenery, made it the perfect spot to unwind after a meal. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, and you just want to sit back and savour every sip and bite.
We visited the café after lunch, looking for somewhere cozy to enjoy some light desserts and drinks—and Muzi did not disappoint.
🍵 What We Tried
Being a family of matcha lovers we couldn’t resist sampling a variety of their signature items.
- Matcha Cheesecake – Rich, creamy, and beautifully balanced. It reminded me very much of the ones from The Tokyo Restaurant at Lot 10 in KL—definitely a compliment!
- Strawberry Daifuku (Mochi) – A clear favourite among my girls. Soft, chewy, and filled with a delightful combination of fresh strawberry and sweet filling.
- Matcha Latte & Green Tea – As someone who is quite particular about matcha, I must say I was genuinely impressed. The green tea was smooth, fragrant, and incredibly satisfying.
In fact, I loved their green tea so much that I was tempted to buy some home. Unfortunately, they don’t sell their green tea bags —but they do offer Muzi matcha powder (RM88 for 50g), which I already happen to have at home (thanks to a thoughtful birthday gift from Alycia’s friend).
💚 The Verdict
Muzi Matcha Café is more than just a place to eat—it’s an experience. Whether you’re a matcha enthusiast or simply looking for a peaceful café to relax in, this spot ticks all the boxes.
The desserts are thoughtfully crafted, the drinks are top-notch, and the ambiance makes you want to linger just a little longer.
We truly enjoyed our time there and are already looking forward to our next visit—especially when my girls are back in Ipoh again to visit me.
