Ten Years Restaurant - A Treasure Trove For Foodies


Last month, I was invited to the launch of the Ten Years Restaurant in Sri Petaling. Ten Years Restaurant offers the nation's most famous fares with all the best of Malaysian cuisine served under one roof. 

You no longer have to drove all the way to Penang for the best Char Koey Teow or even flew to Sabah for the Nasi Kuning Tawau. Ten Years Restaurant welcomes diners of all ages to savour the nation's most famous fares.

With dining areas for different eras, Ten Years concept is in line with 'through the ages' theme, with inspired settings that seamlessly meld cultures and history.

Ten Years Restaurant established by seven passionated friends who came together to establish an avenue to house the best Malaysian cuisine with a mix of cultures including Malay, Peranakan, Chinese and Indian specialities with the vision of preserving Malaysian food recipes for the future generation. With a unique business concept, Ten Years cater to the needs of franchises recipe owners. Working hand in hand, Ten Years offers strong marketing, branding and operation infrastructure, partnering with hawkers or restaurant owners owning signature Malaysian recipes to safeguard their recipes.

Among the speciality unique Malaysian dishes served at Ten Years includes Nancy Nyonya Laksa from Melaka, T&T Prawn Mee and Tiger Char Koey Teow from Pulau Pinang and Nasi Dagang Kak Pah from Terengganu.  Ten Years own specialities, called FUSION are inspired by traditional dishes from all over Malaysia, likes Lamb Masak Merah with 3 Colour Rice based off Johor style merah, Grilled Chicken Percik Sauce is a twist from Kelantan's popular dish, priced start from RM12.90.

Nasi Kuning Tawau origin from Sabah.
Tastefully created by her mother, Kak Tun takes pride in selling her mother's speciality Nasi Kuning. The secret recipe has to be the reason it's sold out by 7am daily. 

Wow... That early? Well, this yellow rice paired with mixed chilli paste and savoury grated coconut indeed never let me down. The whole chicken leg is tender and flavourful too.

Ten Years ultimate plans is to open 40 outlets in Malaysia by 2017 and aspires to expand overseas with branches across all ASEAN Countries as well as targeting to establish 200 outlets in China by 2020. All the best!

Tiger Bites : Do You Know Your Street Food by Tiger Beer.



Malaysian are truly spoilt for choice when it comes to food because of our diverse range of culture and heritage. You'll find an eatery everywhere, almost any time of the day. Those in Penang will boast they have the best char kuey teow and asam laksa, while those in Ipoh will tell you their hor fun is the best. However, Tiger Beer believes that there are hidden gems not known to many and is challenging foodies to uncage the secret street food havens throughout Malaysia in a campaign-called, Tiger Bites.


Recently, a slew of media was invited to join an 18-car convoy on a two-day street food trail to Ipoh and Penang for an unconventional gastronomic experience.

Beside the street foods, we have unlimited supply of Tiger beer and Tiger Radler too.

WOH HENG COFFEE SHOP

First stop, Dried Curry Mee for lunch in Ipoh.  It is indeed so good, zesty and spicy.
After a hearty lunch, our journey continues to Penang. 

APOM GUAN

We had this special apom for tea time snacks. Not your usual apom, Apom Guan is light and spongy with corn, sweet banana and grated coconut as fillings. I'm so in love and finished off 2 pieces in a blink of an eye.

TIGER CHAR KOAY TEOW

We are entertained by drum performances at Tiger Char Koay Teow, specially arranged by Tiger Beer.
Happiness equals a plate of awesome Penang Fried Kuey Teow with Tiger beer.

Addictive Loh Bak available here too. Dip into the sweet sauce and chilli sauce, so yum.

OLD GREEN HOUSE

And SUPPER time! Gosh.... It's been ages I've had supper.
The all time famous Hokkien Mee of Penang (Prawn Mee) but I find this rather average though.

Lip-smackingly good Or Chien (Fried oyster).

BREAKFAST IN BED (THE ROYALE BINTANG PENANG)

For the first time ever in my life, breakfast in bed.

Scrumptious brekkie of the locals favourite includes roti canai, fried lobak, har gao, bread toast, boiled egg and fruits.

PITT STREET KUEY TEOW TH'NG

One of the best meals in Penang, truly amazing kuey teow soup with in-house made eel fish ball and special minced meat.

Minced meat shaped from scratch.

Cutie's Homemade Chicken Floss

SEA PARK FLYING WANTAN MEE

Wantan mee turns into shuttlecock here, send flying high up in the air.


Roasted vs steamed chicken.

Do you know of any unusual place that serves up great tasting street food? Fellow Malaysians can participate in the campaign by creating a trail for others to follow as they uncover hidden food gems through a microsite. All they have to do is to sign up and start dropping pins along their way with exciting prizes await those that participate in this seven-week long contest.
Attractive prizes up for grab are 14 sets of GoPro, phone lens and selfie tripod for the best street food post on Instagram or pin dropped via microsite. At the end of the contest period, the participant that put together the best street food trail (which combines the most number of pins dropped and the longest trail in kilometres) will be rewarded with an all-expense paid trip to Taiwan for two where more great street flavours await.

Thanks for having us!
