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.

The Ground floor corner shoplots of the three blocks of Happy Mansion Apartment in Section 17, Petaling Jaya are now occupied by cafes and restaurants.
MM Cafe is the new kid on the block with competitors like 6 to 10 Grill and Nasi Lemak, My Elephant (closed), Food Foundry, Restoran Choon Yien and Benji's Place.
It is quaint and quiet place to have a quick meal or just hang around with friends.
We were apprehensive about MM Cafe's food but now have to swallow back our words.
