Restoran Yau Choy at Jalan Puchong, Taman Kinrara

It was a Wednesday evening we were on our usual weekly ride exploring places in Klang Valley. Originally we wanted to try out the famous curry fish head near the Giant (formerly Bintang Supermarket) but unfortunately it was closed. Our local buddy Soo was quick and suggested an alternative eatery which was nearby and that was how I came across Yau Choy Restaurant. It is located at the old Puchong Road (7 1/2 Miles).

Poached kampong chicken was yummy which was served chopped ginger sauce. Everyone was super happy with the first dish.

Then came a plate of stir fried celery with roasted pork. I like it the taste was was just perfect and went well with my plain rice.

Lam Yee deep fried pork belly seems to be a popular dish at Yau Choy Restaurant but I think there are better ones in town.

Tofu fried with fresh prawns was gorgeous and it was empty pretty fast.

The next was a seafood cuisine and it was a fried squid, nothing fantastic but palatable.

Stir fried kangkong passed the mark, it was good and prefect.

This steamed tilapia was the grand finale it was delicious and the best among the dishes. The meat was tender, well prepared by the cook and everyone simply love it.

This dessert was a great dessert it was served warm and not too sweet. That's a great way to end our lovely dinner at Jalan Puchong.

That was it, a satisfying meal which was rather sumptuous and it was surely worth the while to cycle 18km for the food. We took a different route back and enjoyed visiting the old town of Petaling Jaya.

Restoran Meng Kee 明记家乡小食, Old Klang Road

Restoran Meng Kee is located at Jalan Kelang Lama on the main road itself and is directly opposite The Scott Garden. We were there on a Wednesday evening after 15km of cycling from Lake Titiwangsa. The food was ordered and served unexpectedly fast.

A pot of stewed black soy sauce pork trotter together hard boiled eggs was the first lovely dish on the table and it was good though sinful but irresistible.

Poached lettuce simple yet nice to eat and a compulsory green on the table.

This steamed la la clam dish is gorgeous, fresh and yummy. The gravy is heavenly, another recommended dish to indulge when in Meng Kee.

A portion of herbal kampong chicken was good but nothing to really spectacular about it.

Delicious steamed fish head with finely chopped ginger together with a little of chopped chili padi on the top. We enjoyed it to the max leaving only the bone behind. No wonder it is their signature dish.

Car parking at this area could be challenging but not for us we came with our bicycles hence there is no issue at all. Happy food hunting, enjoy the awesome Tai Chow food and reasonable pricing at Meng Kee. By the way, on the way back to Titiwangsa before the Federal Highway intersection I saw another similar shop "Restoran Meng Kee" I guess it is their branch outlet.

Restoran Woo Ng Kee the Old School of Chinese Cuisine in Kuala Lumpur

It's Lai Yoong & Wei Xiang's birthday and thank you to Lai Yoong for inviting us for a sumptuous makan at this old restaurant at Taman Eshan, Kepong.

This is one of the oldest restaurants in Kuala Lumpur, they still serve traditional dishes like cold dish of jellied chicken with other ingredients. Restoran Woo Ng Kee has been in the business for more than 60 years they started from a road side stall in Pudu. Today they are hidden in an old development in Taman Eshan, Kepong.

Stir fried Kai Lan with minced meat and preserved veggie a.k.a Mei Lan, Mei Lan, Wo Ai Ni" (梅蘭梅蘭，我爱你). Simple yet delicious.

Claypot of Kangkong veggie.

Garoupa Fish Head Soup (沙窝鱼头) - The broth is so tasty with natural sweetness from the concoctions of ingredients, together with a lovely feel of rice wine (Shao Hsing Hua Tiao Chiew 绍兴花雕酒). My best bet for the evening, I like the lovely flavour of herbs.

A dish of exciting sea maw, mushrooms and green veggie.

Braised pork knuckle - popularly known as Pig & Dog Friends" (猪朋狗友) which was sinful but yummy. Many years ago dog meat might be popular among some of the customers but not in this present day.

Pei Pa Aromatic Duck (枇杷烧鸭) was tender and delicious.

Restoran Tien Tien Lai at Jalan Pudu 天天来饭店

Yes everyday comes to Tien Tien Lai Restaurant at Jalan Pudu. It is just annexed to the Post Office. The last time I came to this eatery probably 30 years ago.

Restoran Tien Tien Lai have been in existence for more than 40 over years and Jason remembered this place and its signature steamed egg dish. The kitchen is at the alley between the post office and a block of shops with a couple of small tables. We parked our bicycles here safe under watchful eyes of the operator as we went over two lots away for a bigger table for our dinner.

A complimentary chicken soup with old cucumber for a start.

Stir fried lotus root with button mushroom, carrot, baby corn and pea with topping of shredded dried cuttlefish. This was a good choice and very tasty.

Tofu with golden fried skin and a rounded base. The inside is smooth, it tasted good with the soy sauce and some spring onion topping. We had it without the minced meat on top and it was equally tasty.

This curry fish head was yummy we literally cleaned up the whole bowl shining. It came with lot of veggie in it and it was so appetising. It went so well with the plain white rice. 

Stir fried Kangkong with garlic.

Signature dish of a steamed three yolk egg custard (蒸三黄蛋) a combination of egg, salted egg and century egg comes with a small bowl concoction of soy sauce, pepper and sesame seed oil. It was smoothly delicious we had 2 types on the table one with minced meat and one without. Both were good.

Salted steamed kampong chicken.

14 of us came with our folding bicycles for a meal at Restoran Tien Tien Lai and we enjoyed the dinner very much. Thumb up for Tien Tien Lai though we won't be coming everyday but we will surely come back again.

Restoran Apa Khabar 老北村家煲仔堂, Kepong Baru

Apa Khabar a new kid in town? Well, this restaurant is relatively new nearly 4 months old. It was nice to meet up golfing friends for a lunch with Jan, Seiw Wah & Jimmy. Kepong Baru is pretty small and finding the place was easy.

Stir fried lotus root, french bean and petai with sambal belacan served in claypot. By the way all dishes here are served with claypot or plates.

Another veggie, kangkung stir fried with small dried shrimp, crunchy and tasty.

Steamed egg with three pieces of black organic tofu on top of the smooth and soft egg. 

Steamed Tilapia with lots of crushed garlic& Chinese wine served in claypot, I simply love the gravy or rather the soup. Next round I would love to try a patin fish instead of tilapia. I am rating this as the best dish on this table. 

Braised pork knuckle sinfully presented for our savoury. Though it was heavy for a lunch but the taste was right and delicious.

Steamed mantou buns to go the the braised knuckle.

Jan must be a regular customer, she got a complimentary steamed minced meat just like what we have it at home.

The owner/chef is a man full of tattoos and a man who takes part in Chinese food competition.

Restoran Yuan Kee 源記海鮮飯店 at Kepong for a Tai Chow

They have shifted from Jalan Ambong Kiri to a new premises nearby (maybe 200 metres away). Well it was was crowded when me and my colleague reached the place as it was lunch hour. My old buddies from college were already there waiting for us.

Braised pork ribs with ground nuts was awesome, the meat and the nuts were well cooked to a perfect softness and most of all the taste was delicious.

Stir fried Choy Sum with finely chopped garlic, a simple choice of green veggie and a wonderful crunchy time with the Choy Sum.

Plentiful of finely blended ginger on a steamed Tilapia fish, the flesh tender, sweet and at time spicy.

Steamed three coloured eggs 蒸三皇蛋 consisting of normal chicken egg with small cuts of century egg and salted egg. It was smooth and easily eaten with the rice with a lovely flavour. Simple yet delicious.

 I heard the Wah Tan Hor is good, I shall try it then next time.

It has been a while since I met these two old college friends we were in the same Building course back in 1977. Great to meet up with old friends and time really flies.
