Restoran Ah Hua Bak Kut Teh.



Restoran Yi Xin Ge have changed name and ownership 
to Restoran Ah Hua Bak Kut Teh.

Now it's run by the previous owner's elder brother and sister.

The distinct taste and herbal flavor of the broth and tender meat cuts
are still retained, just like their late father's time. 

The price for bowl is Rm15 (smaller portion) compared to 
Rm17 the previous time. 

Overall  a comforting meal but need to order 1 1/2 portion for 
two persons.

Hope they keep the family's Bak kut teh tradition.

Mimi Korean Restaurant.



Another great meal at Mimi Korean Restaurant, a small 
clean and air conditioned place.

They are still having a 20% discount on all food and beverages
until further notice.

We had tried all their set menu and now on to their al carte menu.

We ordered a grilled pork belly served on a hot plate with lots of 
fragrant onion hidden underneath and earthy enoki mushroom 
on it's side. 

And a bowl of hot pot Bibimbab with grilled chicken meat,
assorted julienne greens, dried seaweed and a raw egg yolk 
all mixed up with the rice and fermented  soybean paste to give 
it's a bowl of warm goodness.  

Unlimited sizeable ban chan to tease your palate and tummy.

 Pretty affordable.

Village Roast Duck.



A rare shopping time because of the 11/11/17 offer craze at most shopping malls.

We went to Sunway Pyramid as my son wanted a haircut, while we
went hunting for a pair of sport shoe for myself.

As most of the designer's sports shoes were way beyond my budget
and many of them do not match my style.

My usual brand is New Balance for it's lightness, broad front and durable.

Came lunch, we took a breather and had our lunch at Village Roast Duck.
Business was brisk, we waited awhile to get seated.

We ordered a quarter roast duck, wantan mee with bbq pork belly, a boat
porridge with shredded duck meat, a plate of fried rice and a serving of
watercress soup and guilinggao.

Overall a great meal and affordable.

After lunch, we walked around and spotted an irresistible 
offer of 30% off on all shoes at Sole What.

After fitting out a few shoes, I settled on a New Balance shoes which fitted me perfectly.

Food hunt around Petaling Street on a sunny afternoon.



We drove downtown and was hoping to find a nice place to park
in Madras Lane - a good axis point to all of our makan places,
but alas a foreign filming crew and their vehicles occupied 
the whole parking lot.

We then drove around and was lucky to find a parking spot
(Rm4/hour) next to a Chinese Temple at the entrance of Petaling Street.

First place to eat was Lala in rice vermicelli soup and Beef noodle
at Restoran Lai Foong,  a good ten minutes walk from one end to the other.
Well worth the walk - lala was delicious, gingery, refreshing and intoxicating to
the taste buds while the beef koay teow noodle was passable - nice
broth and generously sized.  

Next we took a slow walk through a side lane to Sang Kee 
(a stone throwaway from here), famous for their fried noodles.
We had a two pax fried beef koay teow noodle with ginger slices 
and spring onion - good wok hei, gingery and tender beef slices.
Plus a plate of delicious Yin Yong noodle with an eggy gravy for my wife.

After the meal and a hot pot of Puer tea to wash down, the 1 pm afternoon 
sun was at it's full fury.
We walked back to the crossroad of  bustling Petaling Street to takeaway half
a salted roast duck (Rm28) for dinner from Sze Ngan Chye.
 
Last destination was next door to where we parked our car, 

Merchant's Lane for some snacks of Port Klang (seafood fritters 
with Thai sauce) and coffee.
A nice, cozy and bright air conditioned place to rest our weary legs, too ! 

It was like a food marathon to us and get to exercise, too!

Restoran NZX Foodcourt Boulevard@NZX Commercial Centre.



The opening of Restoran NZX Foodcourt Boulevard is
a blessing in disguise.

They have given the once neglected Boulevard a lifeline with
more hawker's food choices for the residents of Ara Damansara 
and it's surrounding areas. 

The stalls are mostly manned by locals and the food are the typical
local fares except for an Indonesian (Medan) steamed chicken rice.

The coffee and tea are OK but they need to buck up on their service.

The place is super spacious and airy ( a super huge overhead ceiling fan).

Below are some of the food that I have tried.


Sarawak Kolo mee.

Sarawak Laksa.

Fried Glass noodle.

Char koay teow.

Chicken and roast pork rice.

Indonesian steamed chicken rice.

Bakwa, pig's floss and egg bun.

Sam Kan Cheong Noodle.




Open until 3:30 PM

Mei Let Restaurant @Bandar Pinggiran Subang.



Many of the shops near and around this restaurant is closed on 
Sunday evening.

The road leading to it can be dark and quite remote if you are not
not familiar with this area.

We ordered a house made silky smooth tofu with cloves of garlic
in a golden yellow sauce, steaming hot claypot pork belly with salted fish
 - fragrant and tasty, black vinegar pork trotter, stir fried cauliflower 
florets with oyster mushroom and fried squid with salted duck egg.

Overall a satisfying dinner with my family.

factory area in Bandar Pinggiran Subang.

It was a chance encounter for us while driving around for a place

Shan Western Grill is a simple air conditioned restaurant with 
sparse furnishings and with a sea fishes aquarium that is 
pleasing to the eyes. 

The menu is varied with ample choices for all ages.

We ordered a set lunch of fillet o fish (grilled Flounder fish)
