Dim Sum @ Kedai Kopi Hup Seng Hin.

Kedai Kopi Hup Seng Hin is located near a bustling wet and dry market.

Many husbands will sit and hang around the many strategically located kedai kopi (coffee shops) to enjoy a hot or cold drink while waiting for their wife to do the marketing.

For the two of us it was after our morning exercise.

A good time to rest our weary legs and eat some dim sum with a hot pot of Pu'er tea for breakfast.

Here the dim sum are freshly hand made daily and served piping hot.

Some tasted average but we particularly like their deep fried wanton, wu kok (deep fried yam pastry) and tai pao.

Parking is bearable.

Siew mai with steamed fish balls in the background-RM3.30/tray.

Deep fried Yam Pastry-Rm3.80/

Steamed tai pao - soft fluffy skin - filled with chicken meat, sliced pork, mushroom, hard boiled egg and strips of  sweet yam bean-not oily at all-wholesome meal-Rm3.50/

Total bill:Rm16.50/
Location: 2, Jalan Lengkeh,

Yat Ka Yan-One Family Dim Sum and Dessert.

Another great place for breakfast meal to prep up my day.

Yat Ka Yan-One Family Dim Sum and Dessert located in Jaya One, Petaling Jaya 
opens as early as 7 am.

Service was slow-there were only three tables, I do not know how they cope when the place is full.

The delectable Dim Sum( less 20 % for early birds) save the day.

Parking is OK. 

Clean white marble top table and sturdy black shellac chairs.

Oil lamp to keep away the flies but there was one irrational pesty  fly around.

Teo Chew Siew Mai-shrimp/minced pork/spring onion wrapped with wanton skin-well marinated and flavorful.

Porridge with strip of  lean pork and century egg and chopped spring onion-a bit sweet tasting-would be better if it's  smoother.

Steamed fish ball on the side with cube carrot, corn, green pea (like it better with pieces of Chinese long cabbage)-very fresh and springy.

Fried carrot cake with bean sprout, chive and egg-very crispy and full of radish flavor-not oily and one of their signature dish-5 stars!

Chicken thigh meat wrapped with bean curd sheet-fresh and meaty but a bit salty.

Pu er tea to finish the meal.

Char KwayTeow

I like my Char Kway Teow (stir-fried flat rice noodle) to have lots of crunchy beansprout, kow choy (chives) with extra fresh succulent prawns, no chillies, no cockles, less oil, a dash of pepper and a hot teapot of Pu'er tea to wash it down !

CANTON - i

Canton-i located in One Utama, Petaling Jaya is a typical Hong Kong styled "Char Chan Teng" (cafe).

The modern decor with white bird cages hanging from the ceiling and butterfly's motif wood panel on one side of it's wall were eye catching and cleverly done.

We were there on a Monday evening and was surprised with their brisk business.

Service was prompt and efficient.

Cute butterfly's motif decor.

Polo bun with a slice of butter kept cool with some ice cubes-the pineapple's crust was not too sweet and the bun was soft-Rm4/

Egg yolk and Custard bun-the outer skin was skinny soft and the design was very appealing-oozing with the runny egg/custard fillings-Rm6/

Congee with lettuce and condiments like sliced fish meat, pig's stomach, bits of cuttle fish tentacles-garnished with toasted peanuts and spring onion-love the smooth, translucent and gooey congee-Rm11.80/

Congee with Carp Fish and Meat-sliced fish meat was fresh -the minced meat were filled with fatt choy (black moss), crispy Chinese crullers- garnished with spring onion and again the congee was perfect-Rm10.80/

Fried Udon (Wheat noodle) with tiny strips of chicken meat, thinly sliced red and green capsicum-tasted peppery but not worth the money-Rm16/

Fried Beef Kway Teow (flat noodle) served on a hot plate, with small slices of tender beef, bean sprout and egg-tasted more like Char Kway Teow-Rm15/

Wan tan mee with roast duck thigh-noodle was springy and well tossed but the roast duck meat was bland-looks delicious but deceiving-Rm17.80/

A pot of Pu-Er tea for three-Rm15/

Total bill:Rm120/
