RESTORAN WENG KEE.

Restoran Weng Kee was formerly known as Restoran Greenvalle, situated in Jalan Radin Tengah, the restaurant's row of Seri Petaling.

You will not miss it as the restaurant signboard is bright green in color and KFC is their next door neighbour.

This place is run by Mr Ng a designer with a thriving interior decorator business masquerading as a restaurateur with the help of his wife.

The walls of the restaurant are decorated with vinyl and album covers of Chinese singers from the 60's which he salvaged from his father's collection.

The food served here are the typical Chinese favorites.

Parking is ok.

RESTORAN GREEN VIEW

Restaurant Green View was always packed whenever we drive passed it, on our way to the SS2 area. It is located next to Menara Merias in Section 19, Petaling Jaya. Every now and then they have promotion on their crab dishes. I like their signature dish -fried big river prawns (udang galah) mein, cooked in thick egg gravies and their sweet and sour XL crabs. This place is opens 365 days and service is fast and efficient. Parking is not too much of a problem. Tonight my nephew and his wife joined us for dinner there.

Appetizer-fried bean curd with freshly sliced onions rings, century egg and tiny bits of pickled ginger-dipped in Thai chillies sauce for added flavor-appetizing-rm12/

.

Sea prawns done in two styles-shelled and de-veined 1.lightly battered prawns with mayonnaise and honey dew 2.buttered prawns-was fresh and succulent.-rm70/

Fish head curry-full of fish meat and vegetables-was not too spicy, with a lot of chillies oil skimming on the surface -best with fluffy white fragrant rice.-rm50/

Herbal chicken 1/2- overpowering with too much herbs making the gravies a big letdown to the palate.-rm30/

Stir fry kai lan and choy sam-with cloved garlic-the fresh and green colors make it so tempting -need it to balance off the meat.-rm15/

Fried big la la (shellfish) in preserved bean sauce-it was big and tasty.-rm40/

HO HO STEAMBOAT RESTAURANT

Rainy days and cold weather are the best time to have hot steamboat. The food are meant to be cooked and enjoyed as slowly as possible, in between chit-chatting. This restaurant is a franchisee of the famous HO HO Steamboat in Seri Petaling. The ingredients offered are daily, freshly delivered, from Pulau Ketam, a fishing village built on stilts off the Selangor coast. Only a tasty, clear superior soup is available. The fried bean curd was a good appetizer, while we waited for the food to be cook in the pot. We ordered side dishes like streaky bacon, tong oh (amanranth) and enoki mushroom. The sambal belacan (shrimp paste,chili sauce) mixed with the sweet bean sauce was a good dip for the cooked food. Here, it's does not cost a "bomb" to have such a wonderful meal. It was still drizzyling, after the meal.
