KEDAI KOPI & MAKANAN MING CHUN KEE.

Ming Chun Kee is a simple no fuss restaurant located on the ground floor of a 4 storey walk up block of flats in Section 17/1A in Petaling Jaya.
Do not be deceived by the shop's exterior because the food served are good.

DELICIOUS DINNER 30.

A series of home cooked dinner by my wife.

Her signature Tofu-with diced carrot, finely chopped Parsley, cereal and some fish paste-full of protein and very nutritious.

Deep fried Pork ribs-well marinated with Nam Yee (preserved beancurd), pepper, sesame oil, egg and a sprinkling of sugar-lightly battered with Tapioca flour-crispy, fragrant and meaty.

Pan fried sliced Brinjal (Egg plant)-so that it would not be too oily, topped with minced dried shrimp, pork and sambal belacan chillies-best with rice!

Morib is the nearest seaside resort for those of us who are residing in Selangor.
The beach are wide and shallow. dotted with swaying coconut and Casuarina trees and during low tide there are a lot of beach combers picking shell fish.

We were there last week to have a look at some of the retail lots offered for sale at Morib Gold Coast which are endorsed by popular singer Sandy Lam.

We then went to Lover Bridge Seafood and Restaurant in Tanjung Sepat for a seafood lunch.

Fishing boats jetty or lover's bridge.

Dried up mangrove trees from we were seated.

RESTORAN PING WAH.

Restoran Ping Wah is a small eatery located in Paramount Garden, Petaling Jaya that served good, simple home style Hainanese food.

The young owner Joe Hoo is a family friend of my Singaporean relatives.
Before taking over Restoran Ping Wah, Joe was running another restaurant named Oh La La in Kuchai Lama.

These dishes were Joe's selections for us.

Parking is ample.

Braised lean pork strips with thinly sliced potatoes-a tad too sweet- would have like it more if the potatoes are cut into wedges.

Deep fried Ma Yau (Threadfin) bathed in good grade Soy sauce and garnished with deep fried ginger was a delight-crispy and moist inside.

Braised Pig's tendons with pineapple, preserved Soy bean and spring onion-tangy taste and the tendon was crunchy.

Hainanese fried egg-his dad's recipe-the egg white are fried and stirred until it was fluffy-topped it with raw egg yolk and finely chopped Chai Poh (preserved Radish)-outstanding!

Deep fried Squid rings-lightly batter, chewy but was not crunchy.

Stir fried young sweet potato shoots-tender and smooth.

Another of Joe's father recipe-sambal salted fish-way too saltish but goes well with rice.

Total bill:Rm92/
Location:31, Jalan 20/16,
