Wow

PUCHONG, what would be the first thing that comes to your mind?

Sorry folks, I can only recall JAM, JAM, JAM and IOI Mall.

Lately, PATCHAY.COM was on tour in Puchong as we were invited for a Facebook launch of a property agency in conjunction with the launch of a new property project.

Along the way, we came to a rather large-sized hawker shack entitled "PUCHONG YONG TAU FU".

Stunning!!

We've found the legendary "freshest" yong tau foo in town. And like all legends, the place was busy, noisy and packed with people.

The Cantonese would say "WONG" (prosperous), and I immediately presumed this must be another good lunch for us.

Then the rain came, and the place somewhat seemed abit chaotic like any other hawker centres.

You can't start the yong tau foo stuffs until you have tried the Ji Pau Kai (Paper-Wrapped Chicken).

It was salty enough but the sauce was abit too much to have caused the wrapper to stick with the meat.

Overall, the chicken meat was tasty, but I would not rate it the best in Klang Valley.

Next was the yong tau foo soup version. Interestingly, the soup was compulsorily served with leafy vegetables unlike other places.

Our portion was pretty big as we have ordered almost the entire range. So be careful next time!

Overall the yong tau foo was very fresh, well-stuffed and well cooked. The reason being the yong tau foo were prepared as per your order, great!

However, and as expected, the soup was bland.

This was followed by yong tau foo deep fried version. The crisp of the tau foo pok is probably the best part here.

The usual black sauce and chilli sauce was provided generously, but somehow it tasted quite normal like other outlets. I think they could still improve on the sauce.

The best thing about this place is that you are able to choose exactly what you want, unlike some other places.

And finally, what is shocking here is that most people eat yong tau foo with WHITE RICE, except us. :p

Was just looking at my My Pictures folder and thought these photos gave me some sense of joy.

I'm the one in grey at the centre, and opening the biggest mouth :)

What comes to your mind when you feel like having some crispy, finger-lickin' good Fried Chicken?

Now a Malaysian Chinese hawker in Pandamaran, Klang is gonna give a good challenge to KFC.

Besides Bak Kut Teh, Klang is now home to "Selangor's Best Homemade Fried Chicken", as what many of its customers had claimed in the Internet world.

Patchay.Com made a visit somewhere in September and found out that the fried chicken is pretty good.

Total score: 70/100, in comparison to KFC Damansara Jaya: 85/100, which received higher points simply for ambience.

And instead of having Pepsi that comes with it at KFC, here you'll find ice-blended hawker drinks, in particular the longan mata kucing.

our convoy of cars...

For sure people of all walks of life, whether you're from Klang or Damansara or Cheras, will visit this outlet day in day out.

There's apparently a famous shop selling Ipoh Hor Fun and Hainan Chicken Rice in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, so we went to try almost immediately.

It's a simple lunch after a late morning exercise in TTDI's Taman Rimba Kiara.

Ipoh Hor Fun (a choice of dry or wet/soup), plus strips of white chicken, some prawns followed by a thick oyster sauce.

This is the soup version.

Besides our Hor Fun, we ordered a dish of Hainanese Steamed White Chicken, that was quite overwhelmingly soaked in soy sauce.

Eating has always been my no. 1 pastime. Now I'm bringing the FOOD that I eat and the PLACE where I eat to my blog here.

OK I shall start with this:

Not bad for an authentic charcoal-tasty chicken rice at affordable prices.

Bear in mind the additional RM0.50 for lap cheong (Chinese sausage), or salted fish.

You can also order a vegetable dish or soup.

Some say it's the best in Damansara, as well as Petaling Jaya. I say it's very worth trying!

Kuala Lumpur's No.1 nightclub - Zouk - is finally expanding its business.

In December 2009, Zouk will make its first entry into F&B with the introduction of Zouk Cafe-Bar opening at one of KL's most prestigious shopping mall, The Gardens at Mid Valley City.
