CHONG SIEW LAN RESTAURANT.

Chong Siew Lan Restaurant as the name implied is run by a woman cook with the help of her daughter and some servers.
The food served here leans more towards Hakka's home cooking style.
The restaurant do not even have a signboard and is sandwiched by another "tai chow" on it's right and a flourishing pan mee stall on it's other side.

Most of their customers come from as far as Putrajaya and some workforces from the nearby factories.

My buddies and I went there for our Saturday lunch.

Parking is ample.

It is located in Serdang Lama-if you come from the Sg Besi trunk road-bypass the Mines and head towards UPM-a short distance after the flyover-keep left and turn left at the first junction-the restaurant is on your right-behind it is a Chinese school (Kung Mun).

Boiled free range chicken (1/4)-garnished with cilantro, spring onion and slivered carrot-the meat was tender and fragrant but too soft to my liking.

Claypot braised pork ribs-well braised with traces of preserved soybean-meaty and aromatic but a bit coarse.

Steamed Tilapia-bathed in sweet tasting soy sauce/Chinese wine based broth-garnished with a huge dollop of blended light green lime and ginger plus cilantro, spring onion and slivered carrot. to enjoy this dish-eat it with a spoon, filled it up with some meat, a dollop of lime/ginger and some broth-delicious!

Homemade Tofu- with fillings of fishpaste-solid combination-deep fried until golden brown-crispy on the outside and moist on the inside-served with chillies sauce.

Stir fried Romaine lettuce with sliced garlic-fresh and crunchy.

A complimentary plate of papaya and pineapple.

HEE LAI TON RESTAURANT (PUCHONG) SDN BHD.

Saturday lunch time with my buddies, we went to "pig-out"at Hee Lai Ton Restaurant (Puchong Sdn Bhd) in Bandar Puchong Jaya(opposite IOI Mall), Puchong.

Bandar Puchong Jaya's busy commercial area is full of eating places from mobile steamboat vans in the evening to simple coffee shops or designer restaurants.

Hee Lai Ton is having a "Eat all you can" promotion for Rm23.80 tt excluding rice and tit bits.

The five of us were filled up to the rim after the marathon feast from 12 pm-2.30 pm-very bad for health but once in a while it was a luxury!

A grandeur place to dine.

A bowl of Sharkfin soup for each of us-the broth was tasty but there was not much Sharkfin.

Soy sauce sea Prawns-don't be fool-the smaller ones are at the bottom but nevertheless it was tender and succulent.

Roast Duck (Thigh)-ordered 2 plates -very crispy skin, meaty and juicy with a distinct flavor-best!

Claypot Pork ribs-well braised, firm and meaty with melt in the mouth soft Beancurd sheets.

Steamed Grass Carp belly with blended Ginger garnished with slivers of carrots and Coriander leaves-smooth, fine textured and very fresh.

Steamed Boiler Chicken with black Fungus and knotted Golden Lily buds-meat was tender and meaty- the juicy essence was a delight to slurp.

Fried Tung Hoon (Glass noodle) with 2 small sized Crabs and pungent aromatic Parsley-the Crab meat shrunk and the noodle were way too salty.

Mixed assorted vegetables-young baby Corn, sliced Lotus root, Celery, Asparagus and Onion-refreshing and delicate flavor to balance off all the meat.

Deep fried Squid with salted Egg-lightly battered, very flavorful from the Curry leaves and salted Egg.

Fried Sang Mee (Egg noodle) with Squid, Pork, earthy Button Mushroom and crunchy Beansprout-a good combination.

Fruits (Papaya/ Honeydew) and sweet dessert (Sea coconut/Lychee) to end a wholesome meal.
