DURIANS DURIANS



the durian's season are here again.this year the durian's crops
are bountiful and cheap. i don't know whether it is a coincidence
whenever the durians are in season the mangosteens follows suit.
durians are heaty and aromatic to us but pungent to other nationalities.
to balance off the heatiness we need the "coolness" of the mangosteens.
personally i prefer the kampung durians, no pesticides!
last sunday my wife and i drove to TAPAH in search of durians,
we arrived there and met up with her sister and had breakfast at
restaurant tong yoon, a coffeeshop cum hotel. it is a old and nostalgic
place with marbletop tables and wooden chairs. we had western
breakfast,nasi lemak and three hot drinks.total bill rm13.50.
then we head straight to kampung lubok katak, a village of chinese/
malay people.the air was fresh and cool because of the canopies
of trees.we were in luck as there were plenty of freshly collected
durians,mangosteens and petai.we bought about 30 durians
rm50/, 8 bunches of mangosteens rm25/ and petai rm30/
on the way out we dug up a young wild bamboo shoots by the roadside.
we enjoyed bargaining and tasting the various fruits.
some photos taken there.

ZHONG MENG RESTAURANT

this no frills restaurant is situated in TAPAH
town. if you coming from BIDOR it is on the right side of TAPAH town bridge. the site was a former petrol station and it can be quite hot during the day but the cheap and good food more than compensate for it! it signature dishes

are wild frogs,snakehead fish,river prawns,eels and panfried lemongrass chicken.we did not get
to get the frogs and eels because of the durians and petai season,the orang asli have money selling those so they do not want to go and catch the frogs. anyway the succulent prawns
was fresh and sweet, the catfish was tender and
look at the photo, the flesh seems to break out
this a typical sign of freshness, we finish the

meal with egg omelette and choysam. we will
go back again.
ah meng the cook and owner















choysam with soya sauce rm8/















steamed river prawns rm21/















onion egg omelette rm5/















steamed river patin rm21/

RESTORAN LEK LEK



this restaurant was formerly known as AH LIK, formerly
situated near a chinese school in Seri Kembangan
now they shifted to a shoplot in Perdangaan
Serdang the name of the shop is called Restaurant Lek Lek. Their signature dish was
steamed chicken which we did not try, we opted for the rice wine chicken which turned out to be good. the rice wine was thick and flavourful and
the chicken was heavenly. the fish was filled with fishpaste and deep fried ....best but small.
i was disappointed with the steamed frog i preferred the wild ones.the sweet sour pork slices was the best and crunchy with every bite.
the sweet potatoes was overcooked!


Total bill rm 93/


ample parking space.
