We left the house at about 5.30pm to brave the notorious Federal Highway's peak hours traffic jam-down the Smart Tunnel-the Bukit Bintang hotel's row-Imbi Road to find that they are closed.
Our next choice was Restoran Oversea just across the road.
This restaurant is where they first started and is a favorite with regulars. They have since expanded to other states and is even listed on the local Stock Exchange.
Parking is horrible.
Herbal Chicken served in a claypot was tender and full of flavor with herbs like kei chee (wolfberries), yuk chuk, dong quai (ginseng)-gravy was perfect with rice-good medicinal properties, too-Rm30/
Steamed river Patin with blended ginger-was fresh and sweet with a pinkish white meat and steamed just right-ate until only the bones remains-Rm120/
Deep fried Tofu-topped with deep fried dried shrimps, minced meat and specks of salted fish-crispy crust-soft and pillowy inside-soy sauce was a bit salty-Rm22/
Claypot Vegetable-lots of crunchy Chinese round cabbage, soft beancurd sheets, glass noodle, mussel and cooked with flavorful Nam Yee (preserved beancurd with sesame oil and chillies)-Rm25/
Stir fried Hong Kong Kai Lan-big stemmed, young, tender not fibrous at all-Rm25/Total bill:Rm290/
Location:84-88, Jalan Imbi,
Kuala Lumpur.
Tel:03-2148-7567/2141-2642.

Oversea.. long and well-established restaurant :)
just had wedding dinner at their outlet in Armada Hotel PJ
River Patin! A treat esp caught wild.
Wow, looks like braving the traffic was worth it!
Wow, the food is expensive. Now a days, ppl use river patin to make fish and chips too. I read it from a food magazine.
uLi-it was!
thule a.k.a. leo-what a co-incidence! many vouched that the food in Imbi is better.
wwindows-it does not taste wild -could be reared in cages by the river.
Alice-yes,it was worth the while- traffic jams are real stressful.
LittleInbox-Patin to make F& Chips-must try.
FranciscoL-welcome.
