KANG GUAN RESTAURANT

The 45 minutes drive to Restoran Kang Guan near Pulau Carey via the Kesas Highway was pretty monotonous.
After the left turn at the Banting/Klang interchange, the country road was scenic but uneven and bumpy with lots of bridge and road humps.

On our left were vegetables and Dragon fruit farms while the left side were kampung houses dotted with warong.

Property development are slowly creeping into this sleepy side of Klang like Bayuemas.

Restoran Kang Guan have been in the seafood restaurant business for about 51 years !
This established restaurant is situated on the left, just before the Pulau Carey bridge.
It is built on stilts made from mangrove wood and planks-spacious with open sides, red cloth covered tables, plastic chairs and ceiling fans for comfort.

We have a good view of lush green mangrove trees and the swift flowing river meandering out to the sea.

Plastic reservation stand with names of big corporations hung near a counter means daily regular dining clients.
A sour faced waitress took our order-a real put off- luckily the food tasted great and was fairly priced!

The entrance to the restaurant.

View of Mangrove trees opposite from where we were seated.

The river meandering out to sea.

The bridge to Pulau Carey on our left.

WANG CHIEW (2006) SDN BHD

Another weekend dinner with family at Wang Chiew (2006) Sdn Bhd located at SS2/103. They have two shop lots, each sandwiched between another shop.One is air conditioned and the other coffee shop style. I remembered their Chinese New Year dishes were special, popular and of many varieties and hearty. The food was good and tasty, plus the prices are reasonable and won't burn a hole in your wallet. The 8 of us ordered:

Deep fried bean curd in superior gravy-was soft inside-simple-high in protein.

Yam basket filled with stir fry chicken cube, cashew nuts and assorted vegetables-yam was very loose- signified freshness(high in carbohydrate) and chicken cubes was flavorful-cashew nuts- was nutty in flavor

Buttered prawns-lightly battered, not oily, fresh and succulent-the titbits was crispy.

Bayam(spinach) in superior soup- with century egg, deep fried anchovies-leafy-high in iron. Popeye loves it!

Assam curry fish head-lots of greens- the gravy was sourish, spicy and invigorating

Herbal free range chicken-nutritious-lots of tong kwai and yok chuk- have curative properties but the bird was too small.
