Restoran Shi Zi Wei @Tapah.

Arranged to met up with my friend William Hor and family for 
lunch at 食之味饭店 Restaurant Shi Zhi Wei.

Both of us drove from different locations in Kuala Lumpur city and reach
there just in time for lunch.

The restaurant is clean, spacious and airy and is a corner lot 
double storey shophouse located next to SMK Sri Tapah.

The restaurant manageress Huey Ling was on hands to recommend
their specialties and our orders.

A wait of about of fifteen minutes was all it took to serve the various
dishes.

The verdict about the food by them was a double thumbs up -fresh and tasty
and worth the 2 hours trip.

Braised (kow yok) pork belly with yam -house mde -well marinated and one of their "must have" signature dish.

Steamed wild frogs with crushed ginger and spring onion with good grade soy sauce  and cooked oil- the flesh is smooth and detach easily from it's bones..

Stir fried wild Haruan (snakehead fish) slices with ginger, onion and spring onion -a lot of bounce in the flesh with each bite.

Stir fried Padi fields Eel -(de bone and nicely sliced ) koong poh style with Bombay dried red chillies, onion and spring onion -springy with every bite.

Sweet and sour pork belly with onion , red and green capsicum - crisp and crunchy.

Restoran Happy Family@Setia Alam

Saturday dinner with family at Restoran Happy Family@Setia Alam, Klang.

Setia Alam is a well planned township with lots of public amenities.

There is a pasar malam with makeshift stalls selling all kinds of food, fruits, juice and anything that you can think of, hoarding the road around the town center.

We managed to park our cars near the Meru main road. 

Restoran Happy Family is located behind the pasar malam and next to the Setia Alam Club house.

It is a typical Chinese restaurant with aquariums of live fishes and crustaceans at one corner.

As it was our first visit we went for their signature dishes which turned out to be OK.

Gao Ren Guan (PJ) Sdn Bhd @ Jaya One.

With a tag line- "feels just like dining at home" the food must be good!

Gao Ren Guan is the new kid on the block at Palm Square @ Jaya One, taking over where Secret Recipe left.

The main draw of Gao Ren Guan is their home-made style of Gao Chow dishes.

I have been to their first branch in Bandar Puchong Jaya when they newly opened and came away satisfied.

This present location suit me fine because it's near my home.

We opted for a table with an outside view.

Restaurant O.K. Tuck @ Cameron Highlands.

After visiting the market and a strawberry farm, we intended to go to Sg Palas Boh Tea Plantation and Factory to savor tea and scones.

Half way from the main road, the narrow plantation road was jam packed with cars and buses some want to exit while others want to proceed. It was havoc !

After half hours of waiting for the jam to clear with the help of "people power traffic police" we exited from it as fast as we could (do not go during the holidays).

With everybody hungry we went to Restaurant O.K. Tuck in Brinchang town for a deserving quick and delicious lunch before checking into our apartment at Tanah Rata.
