Restaurant Hock Lai Bah Kut Teh - Klang

Klang is famous for Bak Kut Teh (BKT) and Restaurant Hock Lai which is located in Taman Intan (opposite the Chinese school) is one of the many BKT outlets.

Sai Kuat

My friend, Melissa and I love bak kut teh and last Saturday, we drove to Klang for bak kut teh breakfast.

We have tried Teluk Pulai Pottery Bak Kut Teh and today, we decided to try Hock Lai's.

Claypot BKT

We ordered a bowl of sai kut, a bowl of pig's maw and a pot of lean meat bak kut teh with additional Enoki mushroom, tau pok and vegetables. We also ordered yau char kuey to go with the bak kut teh.

Been eating too much rich food during Chinese New Year but we are still craving for BKT, so we ended up still eating BKT but with less meat and more vegetables.

Another friend from Klang met us at the outlet and her husband (Leng) introduced us to Klang Food Centre, the famous hand made pau (steamed Chinese bun). After breakfast, we all adjourned to buy the famous pau.

After listening to Leng's introduction to Klang food, we realized that there is more than just bak kut teh and seafood in Klang. We all agreed that we have to plan another Klang outing to try out more Klang specialities. I'm looking forward to the next trip to Klang.

Mix BKT

Teo Chew Bak Kut Teh is my brother-in-law's favorite place for brunch after Sunday church service. 

Their soup is not as thick as the ones in Klang but taste wise, it's on par. All the meats are cook till very tender. Clay pots are use to ensure the bak kut teh is warm through out the entire meal.

Kiam Chai

Apart from Bak Kut Teh, they also offer braised pork, braised trotter, vinegar pork, vinegar trotter, preserved salted vegetable (kiam chai) and the usuals; yau char kuey, tau pok and yau choy.

They also offer plain rice, "yau fun" (oil rice) and yam rice to go with their BKT. Not many places offer yam rice with BKT these days.

We had a pot of mix BKT (for 3 person), one portion of braised pork, one bowl of tau pok, one bowl of "kiam chai" and 2 bowls of "yau char kuey". Our total bill was RM79.00 including soft drinks and 8 bowls of oil rice.

Service was not so good today as they may be short-handed during Chinese New Year period.

We decided to have an early Chinese New Year reunion dinner at Perlama Seafood Restaurant as my sister-in-law and her hubby are back in KL. This place is highly recommended by my brother-in-law, Randy and his wife, Grace.

This year's CNY reunion dinner is different from the other years. We did not go for the traditional Chinese New Year menu but opt for seafood dishes. We ordered 3 different types of crabs:

Sweet and Sour Crab

Sweet and sour crab. We had fried buns to go with it. Yummy.

Salted Egg Crab

Salted egg crab. Everyone's favorite crab dish for the night.

Black Pepper Crab

Black pepper crab. This dish is "so so" only.
 
To go with rice, we had:

Stir Fried Tee Hwang Mew

Stir Fried "Tee Huang Mew". This dish is really delicious. Very crunchy and smooth.

Assam Stingray

Assam Stingray. Like this dish as the stingray is really fresh. The sauce is with the right level of sourness.

Steam Pomfret

We ordered steam pomfret for my hubby and Michael who are not supposed to take the stingray because of their recent operations.

However, they hardly touch this dish and I ended eating most of it. Not complaining as the pomfret is very fresh and the sauce is great with rice.

Nestum Mantis Prawns

Nestum Mantis Prawns...Ryan's favorite dish. I like it too especially the Nestum and the curry leaves. Great with rice.

Steam Lala

Steam Lala...this dish must be taken while it's hot. I think it's cooked with wine.

Deep Fried Pork Knuckle

Deep Fried Pork Knuckle. The meat is very tender. The dipping is nice but I would prefer it with plum sauce.

Tofu with Special Sauce

Tofu with special sauce. The topping is very delicious. Great with rice and porridge too.



Fried Tang Hoon

For those who did not want rice, Grace ordered fried "Tang Hoon". I did not try the fried "Tang Hoon" as I was really full.

Our total bill came up to RM320 (our party is 13 pax) including drinks (young coconuts and soft drink). We will definitely come back as their seafoods are fresh and very tasty. We will also come earlier so that we can enjoy the riverside view and watch the sunset.

Chong Fatt Seafood Restaurant - Setapak

Today, Fiona and Raymond bought me farewell lunch at Chong Fatt Seafood Restaurant. According to Fiona and Raymond, the food here is very good and I totally agree with them. 

We leave the ordering of food to Fiona as she frequently patronize the restaurant. We had the following dishes with white rice:

Venison with Pickled Vegetable

Venison with pickled mustard (hum choy)...the venison meat is very tender and the hum choy is not salty. Great combination.

Pork Knuckle

Yun Thai (pork knuckle) with siew pak choy and mushroom. The meat is very tender and the sauce is great with rice. Yum Yum.

Bamboo Pit with Mushroom

Bamboo pit with enoki mushroom, shitake mushroom and broccoli. A Cantonese dish?

Soya Bean curd with Special Sauce

Soya bean curd with special sauce. The bean curd is deep fried but it's soft and smooth inside. The topping is very fragrant and crunchy. Another great dish with rice.

The restaurant give free fresh fruit for dessert. Thanks Fiona/Raymond. This is another great meal with good company. I'm sure we will be back to try their other exotic dishes and seafood :)

Mei Keng Fatt Seafood - Ampang

Mei Keng Fatt Seafood located at 1 Lorong Awan 6, Kuala Ampang, 68000 Ampang, Selangor is very popular with the locals, expatriates living around the area as well Hong Kong movie stars. They offer a wide array of dishes but their most popular dish is crab.

I've been working in Ulu Kelang for more than 4 years now but today is my first time eating lunch at Mei Keng Fatt. I was told they are very expensive!

We ordered "yee sang", seafood tom yum, squids in lime sauce and "sei tai thin wong" for our party of 3.

Yee Sang

Yusheng , yee sang or yuu sahng (simplified Chinese: 鱼生; pinyin: yúshēng), also known as lo hei (Cantonese for 撈起 or 捞起) is a Teochew-style raw fish salad. It usually consists of strips of raw fish (most commonly salmon), mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and condiments, among other ingredients. Yusheng literally means "raw fish" but since "fish (鱼)" is commonly conflated with its homophone "abundance (余)", Yúshēng (鱼生) is interpreted as a homophone for Yúshēng (余升) meaning an increase in abundance. Therefore, yusheng is considered a symbol of abundance, prosperity and vigor.

I love Yee Sang. Can eat it every day, through out Chinese New Year. I'll normally request for less oil and less sweet.

Seafood Tom Yum

When I ordered tom yum seafood, Alvin scolded me and said I was crazy to order Tom Yum in a Chinese seafood restaurant. To our surprise, their tom yum is really delicious. There were prawns, squid, chicken meat and the soup is just right, not too sour nor too spicy.

Squid in Lime Sauce

The squid in lime sauce is really good. The squid is cut into bite sizes, blanched and mixed with lots of lime juice, shallots, finely cut lemon grass and chillies. Very appetising.

Sei Tai Thin Wong

The "sei tai thin wong" is four different type of vegetables (long beans, four angled beans, brinjals and okra) cooked with chili/dried prawn paste.

Lunch at Mei Keng Fatt was not cheap but will come back for their crab dishes one day.

Mixed Yong Tau Foo

3A YTF is a halal yong tau foo restaurant, a place where you can bring your Muslim friends to. If you do not fancy yong tau foo, there is also a wide selection of noodles and vege/meat/seafood dishes on their menu.
 

Fried FuChok and Siew Kow

We ordered mix yong tau foo, deep fried fu chok and sui kow. The yong tau foo taste is not too bad but no where near the yong tau foo in Ampang area. They have also increased their prices. Used to RM0.80/pieces but it's now RM1.00/piece.

Curry Chee Cheong Fun

I used to like their curry chee cheong fun (...they have the black sauce chee cheong fun too) but the quality has dropped since my last trip which was many months ago.

Fu Chok Barley Gingko

I had fu chok barley with gingko for dessert. Liked the fu chok barley gingko as it was not too sweet.

Restoran Cosy Corner - Taman Cheras (Yulek)

Menu & Pricing Board

Restoran Cosy Corner is located at No.113, Block P/F, Jalan KasKas, Tmn Cheras, 56000 Kuala Lumpur. It is a little corner shop below the lost cost flats. Their sign board looks like May King's in Jalan Yew/ Pudu (MKP Lam Mee). Are they related?

This coffee shop serves a number of dishes; prawn mee, curry mee, noodle soup and etc. but their most famous dish of all is none other than Lam Mee.

Hokkien Mee with Fat Noodle

Choi Yen and I ordered Hokkien mee. Choi Yen's came with only meehoon and mine with fat yellow noodles. This is my first time eating Hokkien mee with fat noodles. The taste is not too bad but pretty pricey...RM6.50 for the bowl of noodle :(

Lam Mee

Kuah and Yuit Meng ordered the famous Lam Mee. Their Lam Mee came with fat noodles, bean sprout, chicken strips and prawns in brown starchy soup base. Very different from Penang's Lam Mee. Must try this dish the next time I come back.

Curry Mee

Rodney ordered curry mee which looks good too.

Fu Chok and Sui Kow

We also ordered Yong Tow Foo. Their Yong Tow Foo menu is not very extensive.

Yong Tow Foo

We ordered deep fried Fu Chok, deep fried Sui Kow, bittergourd, chilli and some fish ball. The Yong Tow Foo taste good but rather expensive. Each piece cost RM1.00. Our total bill came up to RM50.50 including drinks.

The Steamboat Sdn. Bhd - Ikano Power Centre, PJ

I love taking steamboat and the usual way of eating steamboat is to have a central hotpot where everyone share food from the same pot. At The Steamboat Sdn. Bhd, steamboat experience is pretty unique as each customer is given an individual pot of soup. There are three choices for the soup base i.e. "ching thong" (clear soup), tom yum or curry.

Slice Beef Set

My hubby ordered the sliced beef set with tom yum soup. His set came with thinly sliced beef, beef ball, foo chok, lettuce, bee hoon and mee. 

Mix Fish Ball Set

I ordered mix fish ball set with tom yum soup. My set came with 2 types of fish ball, fish cake, foo chok, crab stick, lettuce, bee hoon and mee.


Tom Yum Steamboat

To enjoy the meal, just drop all the ingredients into the pot filled with your choice of soup base, bring it to a boil and dip the cooked food with the special chilly sauce or fried shallot oil.

Total bill for our lunch came up to RM29.00 including 2 soft drinks. Simple but delicious meal. They serve ala-carte dishes as well.

The Steamboat Sdn, Bhd is located at 38 LG, Ikano Power Center, No.2, Jln PJU 7/2, Mutiara Damansara, 47800 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. TEL: 603 77223286

OldTown White Coffee



OldTown White Coffee is the largest kopitiam chain in Malaysia. They are famous for white coffee especially the “Cham” or better known as YingYong. "Cham" is actually coffee mix with tea and I like the iced version. They do sell the coffee powder too.

OldTown White Coffee Menu

Their menu has expanded but their all time favourites are still the soft-boiled omega eggs and charcoal toasted bread with kaya and butter. We ordered one set to share but Alvin finished most of it even though he kept saving he has no appetite.

Nasi Lemak Special

The other favourite is Nasi Lemak Special. Tan and I ordered a set each. Was the nasi lemak really special? Nay...to me it's just ordinary nasi lemak.

Dry Ipoh Hor Fun

Alvin ordered dry Ipoh Hor Fun.

Our total bill came up to RM43.00. OldTown White Coffee can be found in many malls around Malaysia as well as in KL and Kucing International Airport.

We tried some of their specialties...

Yong Tau Foo



Fried Sui Kow

Yong tau foo including white soft tau foo (bean curd), sui kow (dumplings in soup and fried), various vegetables (bitter gourd, ladies' fingers, red chili, green chili and brinjal) with fillings and fish balls. For our party of 4, we ordered 30 pieces, a mixture of everything.
 

Paper Wrapped Chicken

 Paper wrapped chicken (chee pau kai in Cantonese) - we ordered 2 pieces, one for Tan and one for myself. The chicken which is wrapped inside tracing paper remained tender and juicy.

Nan Yu Vegetarian Dish

We also try out their Nan Yu Vegetarian dish - cabbage, mok yu, red dates, foo chok and glass noodles cooked in Nan Yu. I must say it is really delicious.

Apart from Yong Tau Foo and their other speciliaties, they also serve assam laksa, curry laksa and many other dishes.

Our total bill for 4 pax came up to RM47.00 including drinks. I'll try their assam laksa the next time I visit as many people eating it. Looks delicious and smell great too.

Fish Head Noodles - May Mey Gourmet Seafood Restaurant

May Mey Gourmet Seafood Restaurant is a seafood restaurant by night but during the day, there is a stall in this restaurant that sells delicious fish head noodles and Fook Chow fish ball noodles.

May Mey Gourmet Seafood Restaurant is located in Kuala Ampang, before Mei Keng Fatt Seafood Restaurant. During a hot day, the restaurant is super hot even though there are fans running at full speed but you will still see the lunch crowd.


Fish Head Noodles in Milky Soup

The fish head noodles comes in milky soup as well as in Tom Yum soup. I've tried both variations but my preferred choice is still with the milky soup.

You may request for the lady boss to use crispy fish head or crispy fish meat if you do not fancy fish head. If you don't like the crispy version, you can also request for the non-fried version of fish meat. You can also request for Fook Chow or normal fish balls to be added too.

Fish Head Noodles with Fish Balls

Mine is always crispy fish meat with normal fish balls as I want the best of both worlds.

The fish head noodles is served with separate add-ons like 'tong choi" and sambal belacan with lime. If you like chilli padi, you may request for it. I normally take mine with sambal belacan and chilli padi but I will skip the "tong choi".

Most time, we will end up soaking in sweat due to the heat but very happy because of the delicious bowl of noodles :)
