Restoran Kong Sai @ Paramount Garden.

The water rationing by Syabas was a good excuse to eat out.

Dinner at Restoran Kong Sai located in Paramount Garden, Petaling Jaya was good choice.

A small no frills restaurant with air conditioning-eat in more comfort (what with the hot weather, nowadays ! )


Orders were quickly taken and service was prompt.


Parking is OK in the evening.

Black Vinegar Pork trotter-served in a clay pot with lots of sliced old ginger and a good balance of hooves and meat - black vinegar was not too choking-lots of collagen !.

Airy Tofu Puff-compactly stuffed with minced pork/chopped spring onion-meaty with each bite.

Poached free range 'bearded' chicken (1/2 portion)-well poached, fragrant with smooth muscular texture.

Dip for the chicken-chopped ginger/coriander leaves/sesame oil/garlic oil.

Stir fried lettuce with garlic-leafy and crunchy

Black Pepper Pig stomach soup with sliced canned button mushroom-too peppery and numbing.

Black chicken herbal soup served in a cut-up coconut-very nutritious and invigorating.  

Total bill:Rm73.00.

RESTORAN YAU KEE (ROTI AYAM)

Kampar a former tin mining town in Perak is famous for CB Chicken biscuit (cookies), Roti Ayam (Chicken Curry in a Bread) and recently a new university-Utar.
During the recent holidays, we went to Restoran Yau Kee (Roti Ayam) for dinner with my relatives after a scrumptious afternoon lunch in Tanjung Tualang.
In the night, the exterior of the restaurant looks small but it's interior was spacious and air conditioned.
Service was fast and prompt.
Their signature dish of Roti Ayam was ordered by most diners in the restaurant.

Side view of the restaurant in the night.

Roti Ayam-Min Pau Kai (Chicken curry in a Bread)-the cooked Curry Chicken are wrapped in a few layers of waxed baking paper, covered with dough then oven baked -the Curry Chicken was salty but full of Rempah and Curry leaves flavor-the bread was soft, sweet, pillowy and perfect to dip with the Curry Chicken-I'd prefer the Restaurant Hua Xing's version-Rm25/.

Claypot Yam (Taro) and Duck Mee-came piping hot-the Sang Mee (thin Yellow noodle) was covered with thick, creamy and salty flavorful brown gravy while the cubed Yam and bite sized Duck meat complemented it very well-Rm18/.

Salt baked Chicken-Portion was too small as it was a "Kampung" Chicken nevertheless the meat was firm, muscled and fragrant-Rm20/

Wong Tai Mee (Emperor Mee)-Fried with strips of Mushroom, Prawn and Pork -flavored with Oyster sauce, light and dark Soy sauce, Sesame oil and garnished with chopped Lettuce-the Mee was tasty and springy- Rm15/

Baby Romaine Lettuce-stir fried with Foo Yee (Preserved Beancurd)-was overcooked and soggy-a big letdown-Rm12/

Total bill:rm110/.
