Chee Cheong Fun Stall-TAPAH.

Unlike Bidor, Tapah town lacks a good place to have a decent Chinese breakfast.

But there is a Chee Cheong Fun (flat rice noodle rolls) stall manage by a husband/wife, beside the wet market which is not too bad.

Yesterday morning,
we were there for a quick and light breakfast.


Smooth CCF with deep fried stuffed fishpaste beancurd sheets- a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and topped with Curry gravy.

Smooth CCF with blanched long bean, pickled green chillies on the side-sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and doused with sweet bean paste gravy and chillies.

Assorted Yong Lui (deep fried stuffed fishpaste/turnip ingredients) to go with the smooth CCF.

Sek Yuen Restoran 2.

This is another great meal that we had at Sek Yuen located at Jalan Pudu, Kuala Lumpur.

Sek Yuen is real old school and is a great place to savor dishes that are considered extinct in other restaurants.

We opt for the air conditioned dining room because of the hot weather but for those who want a bit of nostalgia the non air conditioned area is great!

Metered parking is OK behind the restaurant.


The payment counter is so antique.

Pork rolls-crispy and meaty but a bit heavy on the porky smell.

Pei Pa Ngap (Crispy Skin Duck)-tasted just like roast duck but much drier, meaty with a distinct aromatic flavor.

Fried noodles-rice vermicelli/flat rice noodle with assorted meat/seafood-the cornstarch reduction tasty chicken/bone stocked gravy was a good combination with both noodles-soaking them up so well !

Stir fried Choy Sam-leafy, crunchy and fat stems.

Total bill:Rm55.80/
Location:313-1, Jalan Pudu,
Kuala Lumpur,

Choong Kee (Kampar) Claypot Chicken Rice.

When my children are not having dinner at home, my wife and I usually eat out and we always opt for something simple and fulfilling.

Choong Kee (Kampar) Claypot Chicken Rice located in Damansara Jaya was the place for it.

But the wait was awful, almost close to 30 minutes.

Parking is OK.

Claypot chicken with an added fresh raw egg-rice was whole grain and not too oily-filled with lots of well marinated chicken meat-fragrant and I give it full marks!-Rm13.50

Double boiled Watercress soup-with pork ribs and red dates-refreshing and tasty-Rm5/

Choy sam far-Rm5/-blanched-overcooked with a dash of cheap looking and tasting oyster sauce and topped with deep fried shallots.
.

Location: 80, Jalan SS22/25,
Damansara Jaya,

Petaling Jaya.

Restaurant Extra Super Tanker (PJ) Sdn Bhd.

Restaurant Extra Super Tanker's name is soooo unique.

The restaurant got a new makeover from the last time we were there-expanded to three shoplots with a stage and modern interior designs.

There is a wait staff at the front door to welcome guests.

For this dinner we ordered dishes that we have not tasted before.

Parking is OK.

Appetizer-Achar-achar (pickles)-sourish and spicy-perks up your senses!

Crabmeat Omelette-filled with beansprout, pine nut and deep fried shrimp-eat it with a piece of fresh lettuce-Rm56/.

Braised Tofu with Vegetarian Abalone-soft and silky smooth-Rm20/.

Claypot Fu yee (fermented Chillies bean) Chicken-seated on a bunch of Poh Choy (English Spinach)-very generously sized and chicken meat was flavorsome but too salty for my taste-Rm60/.

Steamed Golden Promfret (was swimming in the aquarium a awhile ago) with superior grade soy sauce and garnished with spring onion and coriander leaves-the meat was fresh and smooth-Rm60/.

Braised sea cucumber with Mushroom (the sliced Abalone were added on by us) served with blanched broccoli-the mushroom was of low grade while the sea cucumber was passable-our own abalone saved this dish!-Rm100/

Blanched Choy Sam-only green to round off the meal-Rm20/.

Delicious Dinner 35.


A series of home cooked dinner by my wife.


Steamed salted fish with sliced pork belly-to some people the salted fish smell pungent but when combined with pork it's flavorful.

Homemade oven roasted pork-very crispy and crackling skin and melt in the mouth 3 layer pork belly.

Stir fried Chinese Mustard green from Hong Kong-looks like Choy Sam but it's much ! much ! more juicy and not fibrous.
