Sentul Ah Yap Charcoal Hokkien Mee Restaurant @Sunway Mas Commercial Centre..

Have not tried their main branch in Sentul because of  it's distance
and inconvenience.

Heard that it is a good supper place.

Anyway, this place in Sunway Mas Commercial Centre is just a stone 
throwaway from my residence.

Always passed by here - the flying embers from the charcoal fire is 
a sight to behold but never patronize.

This evening the urge for fried noodle was "on" and here we are.

Beside fried noodle they do serve other stir fried dishes, too.

We ordered a Charcoal fire fried Hokkien rice vermicelli / thick yellow 
noodle, a bowl of Lor Mee in a sticky egg gravy topped with pork 
lard and generously ingredients and a plate of butter mantis prawns 
which were fleshy and with fragrant buttery floss. 

A great and tasty meal and they did not disappoint !!

Kedai Makanan Laut Yong Tat @ Teluk Gong.

Kedai Makanan Laut Yong Tat is a hidden stand alone restaurant 
located among factories.

It's the choice place to dine for local Klang people 
and the food is good.. a hidden gem.

We have not come here for quite sometimes, really missed their 
fried rice vermicelli with lala.

This is almost a late lunch and it took us about 40 minutes to reach. 

Top of the list:

Lala fried rice vermicelli with choy sam and pork lard- good.
Stir fried  oyster mushroom -smooth and earthy.
Steamed medium sized local mud crab - sweet,firm and succulent meat.
Steamed Loong Tan slices with blended ginger, red and green chillies padi 
- disappointed with the textures of the meat. 
Steamed Mantis prawns with julienne ginger, red and green chillies 
padi - springy and sweet tasting meat.
Deep fried pork rolls -dry, meaty and overcooked.

We finished off the meal with a plate of sweet, juicy Yan Kee pineapple.

Redang Station No 15 @ Sekinchan.

A two hours drive to Sekinchan turned into an extra hour because
of the drizzling rain.

The sky open up when we about to reach there.

Vast tract of green Padi (rice) fields and fruits stall greeted us on both 
sides of the road.

A left turn at the town's main traffic junction led us to Bagan,
another right turn takes us to Redang Station 15.

A rickety makeshift plank platform extended out to the river,
with just three wooden tables bounded with black and white linoleum plastic
sheets which added some contrast to the place. Fishing nets as wall partition.

The shirtless owner cum cook Ah Chuan took our orders and
told us his seafood are only steamed to retains it's freshness and 
sweetness while the oysters are freshly shucked.

The sauces are light soy sauce and homemade red chillies in vinegar.

The meal was very satisfying, "ching" and full of natural, fresh and sweet flavors.

Seafood at it's best !

The only funny thing is, he serves us the shucked fresh oysters last.

The entrance.

Steamed Mantis prawn.

Springy fish balls.

Lala in a sliced ginger and red Bird's eyes chillies soup-slurpped to the last drop!

Steamed Flower crabs-fine texture and sweet meat.

Steamed Sea Prawns-big sized -full freshness and succulent with every bite.

Seven Star Grouper fish-steamed to perfection with just chopped garlic and chillies in light soy sauce.

Freshly shucked oysters-just squeezed the lime juice and eat it.

Good Luck Restoran @ Sungai Rengit, Johor.

Next morning after breakfast at a self serviced Dim Sum restaurant at Bukit Indah. 

 The journey continued with a long, slow drive to Desaru using the new two lanes highway with a long, stunning and majestic looking A shaped China built link bridge.

The road leading to the beach were jammed with cars and the clean sandy beach were packed with holiday picnickers and swimmers.

 After this we went to the Fisherman Museum about 6 km away but found that it was close on arrival.
Just strolled along the brackish sandy beach-took some photos and Samantha and me "planked" on an upturned boat for the fun of it !

Everyone was hungry after the "tour" and the nearest restaurant was 26 km away in Sungai Rengit - a small fishing village with it's own jetty and many fresh and live seafood restaurants.

Good Luck Restoran located a stone throwaway from the town is a converted village house.
I think it's family owned because kids as young as seven to twelve years old help to serve, clear and collect payment.

As it was a holiday, the restaurant was packed to the brim. 
We managed to get a table after a 15 minutes wait-orders were quickly taken and was told that the waiting time is an hour !

The mini lobsters (buttered style) and live fresh seafood are their main draw.

Parking is along the narrow roadside.

Fried Bee Hoon with finely sliced BBQ pork, shrimp, beansprout and lots of Chinese round cabbage-finish it off in a few minutes because of hunger !

Lemon Chicken-lightly batter and deep fried -crispy skin and tender and moist meat seated on a bed of lemon juice gravy.

Golden Promfret - steamed to perfection-fresh and smooth textures.

Koong Por Mantis prawn-the meat was extremely meaty and springy in texture- stir fried with onion, spring onion and red dried chillies-highly recommended.

House made Tofu with How Siu Choy, assorted seafood like crab meat, dried scallop and roe-drenched with good stock reduction gravy.

Lai Pak Choy-young, tender and leafy and was not fibrous.

RESTORAN WENG KEE.

This place is run by Mr Ng a designer with a thriving interior decorator business masquerading as a restaurateur with the help of his wife.

The walls of the restaurant are decorated with vinyl and album covers of Chinese singers from the 60's which he salvaged from his father's collection.

The food served here are the typical Chinese favorites.

RESTORAN PORT VILLAGE.

Whenever we visit the North Port area, we will go to Restaurant Bagan Hailam in the Bagan Village for their fresh salt baked Crabs and Hailam mee.

Yesterday, we found that the restaurant had ceased business.

We, then went to Restoran Port Village located at Tanjung Harapan, a few 100 meters away.
This family owned restaurant served halal food.
The place was huge and could accommodate up to 70 tables with a sectioned area for air conditioned dining.
The restaurant's structure are built of planks and mangrove wood with concrete pillars and a solid, creaky 60 feet long plank gangway entrance.

As it was high tide, we could see and hear the sounds of rolling sea waves hitting the side embankment and mangrove trees at the side of the restaurant.

We selected a table with a sea view sights of ships, tugboats, motorboats and the occasional submarine-like Pulau Ketam ferry plying the sea lane.

Our orders were quickly taken by a girlish man supervisor.

Parking is ample and free.

Signboard at the front of the restaurant.

Hailam mee (thick yellow noodle) -with slices of Chicken meat, Fish cake, Shrimp, crunchy Beansprout and garnished with fine slivers of refreshing Cucumber-the noodle was smooth and tangy in flavor after squeezes of Lime juice were added to it-passable-Rm12/.

Deep fried Mantis Prawn meat tossed with slanted sliced Ladyfinger (Okra), Onions and Red Chillies-overfried to the point of dryness-too small in sized and tasted awful-Rm15/.

Stir fried sweet Potato leaves-refreshing and leafy-Rm8/.

The Star of the lunch- freshly delivered Roe Crabs-have it steamed-full of enriching red Roe-fine textured, meaty and sweet-Rm69/.

After the meal, went to the Esplanade at Tanjung Harapan for a breather-a photo of a replica boat on display.

ZONG MENG RESTAURANT-2

The owner cum cook, Meng has many years of culinary experiences and worked with chefs from Hong Kong at Chinese restaurants in Holland and Belgium.
While overseas, he was more into fusion Chinese cuisine, the influences are evident in some of his dishes.
It was fun to see him flipped and cooked with his pan/wok and the way he controlled the many gas knobs with his knees was awesome!!!
