After a long day walking around in 1-Utama, mum wanted to go back to Uncle Vincent's place to take a shower before the last appointment with her ex-colleagues from the bookstore at 8pm.
It was 6.20pm and it was raining heavily. The long queue at the taxi stand was such a turn off. We probably need to wait for half an hour before we could hop into any taxi.
Bringing mum to a Char Chan Teng seems like a good idea. Let her rest her tired feet with some sweet bites seemed like the best solution.
I saw Wong Kok Char Chan Teng from the corner of my eyes when we were purchasing some gifts at Watson's. Its location was pretty hidden by the Nicole's Booth set up right in front of the shop. So we walked straight or to be exact, dragging our tired-self by walking slowly but directly to the shop from the taxi stand, without being distracted by anything.
I was still feeling very full from the Steamboat lunch. But the extensive and attractive menu fulfilled its purpose *lol* I was tempted. Extremely tempted. I ordered Banana Waffle with a scoop of ice-cream. 我敗給了美麗誘人的照片。。。*bang head, stupid menu*
芝士面包布丁 Peach & Cheese Bread Pudding @ RM 5.50
Mum ordered the bread pudding. She opted the sweet bread pudding (Wong Kok offers savoury bread pudding *roll eyes* ). Anyway, this bread pudding turns out ok. Served with two thick slices of peach, the bread pudding was covered with a very thick layer of cheese (Mozzarella cheese, if i tasted correctly). My mum liked it, but i still couldn't associate cheese with bread pudding. Maybe i was still in the era of egg+raisins+milk version of bread pudding. But taste wise, it was pretty ok. Bits of peach can be found at the layer of egg custard with trace of peach flavour. I supposed Peach Syrup was added.
香蕉淇淋夹饼 Banana Waffle with Single Scoop Ice-Cream @ RM 6.90
A little disappointed. First of all, i was expecting a light and crisp waffle. But it turned out to be soft and dense. Maybe its Hong Kong style? Secondly, i was looking forward for more banana on the waffle served. For the seven slices of banana, i could get one more scoop of ice-cream with the same price.
Mum had a cup of hot Hong Kong Style Yin-Yang 港式鸳鸯@ RM 2.50 but she claimed that the taste of tea overpowered the coffee. *Shrug* I thought it was decent. I had a cup of almond drink with egg white 杏仁蛋白露@ 3.80. Lovely. Smooth and aromatic. But too little egg white.
*No picture, cos too busy enjoying my almond drink *slurp*
Nontheless, it was an enjoyable time to dine with my dearest mummy.
It satisfied me.
Not the food.
But the look of my mum enjoying what's on the table.

Squall: Yup, surprisingly they do serve bread pudding. Welcome to my humble blog =)
i have tried out their cheese bread pudding and like it a lot. but jz a little bit sweet to my liking...

i would have preferred something more local like kuih n all but then again, char chan tengs have comfy chairs and friendly service :)
Ai Wei: I have sweet tooth. But too much cheese for me.
BBO: Big appetite? I think my appetite is doubled or tripled when im in M'sia. In singapore, my friend says i eat like a cat does.
Nic: Yea, it's the ambience and a good place to rest our tired legs from all the shopping *wink*
