Lam's Kitchen

It is not easy to find Chinese food in this neighbourhood. The restaurant is located inside Plaza Jelutong, near Jaya Grocer.

Yummy charsiew wanton noodle. The fish head bihun is the famous Woo Pin Fish Head Noodle House branch.

Good to try, worth to come again.

San Francisco @ Bukit Jelutong

There is only few shops in Bukit Jelutong because of the small population. There is even very few restaurant there. So, we cannot expect to have all the heavenly food possible.

However, recently there is one Italian restaurant open beside the Petronas station.

Big Plates@ Kampung Subang

I kind of like the final presentation. They are "ofcoz" big plate, nicely garnish and taste delicious.

But the kitchen is so dark and quiet. I have no idea how the food is prepared.

One thing good, the food is "surprisingly" hot and no food poisoning thus far.

Azmi Pisang Goreng... revisited

Azmi Goreng Pisang, the fried bananas that will keep ringing in my head from time to time.

Fish Cuisin @ Glenmarie

I am still puzzle why Chicken Cuisine owner keep acquiring his neighbor shops for his restaurant expension. Don't he think putting all eggs in one basket is too risky? Is that his strategy to fence off from potential competition opening at his side. Or simply he has no time to look for other location?

Many questions, but one thing, his food is fantastically good. Few words for summary: Clean, creative, tasty and expensive. Yes, expensive.

I had heard many times that the food is expensive. But I also keep seeing those complain such continue patronizing the shop. Strange business, weird marketing success story.

Is it luck?

I don't think its 100% luck based. The shop do have unique selling proposition that pull you back again and again. It's clean enough, tasty enough with just slightly higher pricing to blur your consensus.

Sweet ginger meat. Uniquely yummy!

Egg plant fried with salty egg. Never taste it before right? Me too.

Curry fish head. Not that surprise. But still good.

But this fried lotus root with fermented toufu is something special.

"Moonlight" toufu is sliky smooth.

Pun Chun @ Kota Kemuning

There is one very famous duck noodle restaurant Pun Chun in Bidor.

Because it is at the small town towards Ipoh, it serve either few local regulars or travellers.

Glenmarie Chicken Cuisine... revisited

Sometimes ago I blogged about a restaurent in Glenmarie offering nice food. However, the pictures taken was lausy as I was using a 0.3MP camera phone.

I am still visiting the shop almost weekly. So, I thought why not I take some nice picture so that you guys out there would not give any doubt just because of my previous lausy camera. Ha Ha

Flood in Shah Alam... What the...

When I heard the thunder storm last Saturday night, I thought it was only another normal raining night. Wet and cold, nice to sleep.

When I wnet to TTDI Jaya to have my breakfast the next morning and found that there were flooded and cars were soaking wet, I thought hey, problem for some people.

When I when to Giant Shah Alam for breakfast (TTDI Jaya closed, maa) and saw more cars soaking in water, I thought that was kinda big problem already.

When the next day I read in the paper then I knew how bad it was.

I think it must be that bad only somebody will take the innitiative to look into the drainage system there. I had stuck in the damn NKVE toll few times since a couple months ago when it flooded. Nobody took action at all that time. Just few police put some cone and block the road, only.

Good Life!

Good Food in Glenmarie.

When I first move to Shah Alam U8 few months ago, the main thing that worry me is the food. I hardly see any hawker center, or even restaurant. Just one or two mamak shop hanging around. I can not just eat those for the rest of my life. I dun wanna have roti chanai face or Maggi goreng hair one day. :)

I was lucky to notice that there are few chinese restaurants at a commercial area in Glenmarie. If you come from Subang Jaya into Glenmarie, take the left turn when approach a tee-junction. There are few row of shop houses at the left hand site (after 2 traffic lights). Two large mamak shops facing the main road, and the shop I am going to talk about is situated at the back.

There are few shops in a row all offer reasonable food. Picture shows this shop's specialty: curry mee (curry mee again?! Yeah, my favorite food maaa). I like its thick curry soup and the ingredients (mostly Yong Tofu). It is not cheap (around RM6 per bowl), but I have no complain at all. The taste of the Yong Tofu is very strong. I believe its Hakka style. I like the fried row the most.

Besides the "house recommended dish" I found their Hakka Mee not bad as well. The noodle was nicely prepared (springy and elastic) and the gravy was superb with lots of minced meat. The noodle come with "lobak" soup. How often you have that in food stall?

If you love Ansun Chee Cheong Fan, theirs also not bad, in fact quite nice. Besides the smooth "cheong fan", I like the gravy and chili sauce.

When we first had that, my mum told not to put in the sauce. She afraid spoiling the tasty looking "cheong fan". But towards the end of the course, we finish all sweet sauce and chili sauce.

Food Court in Tesco Shah Alam

When my family suggested to have our dinner at the food court in Tesco Shah Alam, I have no idea that I am going to discover something interesting there.

9 out of 10 food court offer similar food with average quality and high price. Because of high rental of the property owner, the stall operators have no choice but to charge a bit higher for business survivor.


However, at the place mentioned above, RM3.50 you can get a bowl of tasty kari mee. The bowl of mee I had came with little ingredient (half egg, few slice of fish cake and toufu pok only). But the soup was nicely cooked. Not very hot. Not very full with santan. Just thick enough to entertain my taste bud.



I saw lots of people eating "toufu bakar" there. The side dish also cheap and special: RM1 per piece of toufu stuffed with vegetables and topping with rojak gravy with lots of peanuts crush. I think it is the good rojak gravy that makes me ordered another piece.

Fish Ball, Anyone?

Last Sunday when I was wondering around in Kota Kemuning for food, I saw a big fish on top of a sign board. Something interesting?

The shop called Jin Man Noodle House and it is specialized in fish ball. I dun know why the boss don't wanna call his shop Jin Man Fish Ball House.

Anyway, the noodle was just as normal as you can find in any street.

If I could remember well, there is only one thing in the menu, fish ball, no other choice.

All of us must think that fish ball sure made of fish paste right? Not really true. Most of the fish ball nowadays mainly made from starch with a little surimi (fish paste). So you hardly taste any fish there. You are basically eating starch ball.

The fish ball here made from Ikan Tenggiri (as shown in pic). Appearance white and clean. Very spongy and taste fishy. I would say it is high quality.



So, go try it and let me know if I am wrong lah!

The Best Goreng Pisang in Town

I had tried many times. Whenever I bought this goreng pisang to my friends, the first feedback was always:" Yayaya... goreng pisang, normal laaa...."

Then, when they saw the fried bananas they would said:"looks so small, what type of pisang is that? Wow! Why you bought so much? How could I finish it? You better eat more..."

And then, after the first piece, they took the second one, and the third and forth and...
After finishing all, comments came:" I think its the flour the matter."

"It may because of the type of banana they use. Looks so small. Mnn.... must be the banana."
"How can it be so crispy ha?"

So, this is Azmi Goreng Pisang in Shah Alam. A stall selling goreng pisang near the commuter station (section 15) in Shah Alam.


As you can see, they are frying the banana by using 8 big wok. I never seen people selling fried banana like that. And usually you have to wait and long queue.



Normally people buy RM5 or RM10, RM20 of fried banana. Wonder why they bought so much? For 20, 30 packs? For you info, RM1, you will get more than 10 pcs. And I dun know if its my problem or else, I could eat RM2 of Azmi Goreng Pisang alone.
