Industry stalwart and renowned chef Frankie Woo plays the role of consultant, using his artistic licence to create avant-garde dishes to tease our palates. Together with Executive Chef Sam Loo, he mapped up the menu at Chinese Palace which by no means is carved in stone as the resto continues to evolve.
Together with Executive Chef Sam Loo, distinctive dishes such as Sliced Cold Pork Knuckle (RM38 per portion) reign supreme here. This Shanghainese ‘yuin thai’ (cold pork knuckle) starter boasts Frankie's inimitable twist; the slippery-smooth and slightly gelatinous pork faintly perfumed with aromatic star anise, cinnamon and cloves thanks to its being simmered in a braising broth of the said spices.
Oooo man, the Kam Heong Chicken was delicious. The one served here was a dry version, with little gravy. I could eat it on its own, truly. The chicken were boneless, meaty and came in generous sizes. It was chewy and crispy, coated with the distinct taste of kam heong gravy. The prawn paste flavor was clearly evident and with the crispy curry leaves … what more does one need? Nothing 🙂 Burp.
Tried Pork Lard Rice, our all time favourite comfort food. for the price at RM12, we were expecting a mini rice bowl but to our surprise, we were served a large bowl of rice, topped with generous amount of minced meat and our top favourite- golden, crunchy zhu yao zhar aka deep fried pork lard. Added with an onsen egg too! Definitely a satisfying one!
It is all about sourdough here – sourdough sandwiches, sourdough tartines, sourdough platter. After contemplating my options, I decided to go with something simple and not complicated, the plain ol’ chicken sandwich. It consisted of the sourdough bread + chicken + cheese. The bread was warm and buttery on the inside, it was thick and condensed, with the prominent taste of sourdough evident with every bite. The cheese – mozzarella perhaps? with some generous pieces of chicken was da bomb. Simple yet delicious and filling.
Mun Wah Hokkien Mee at Jalan Mahajarela still maintains the quality and taste of their food after so many years. We won’t mind coming back again.
Chocolate Matcha Brownie, 13 ringgit. The brownie was nice. I usual stay clear of anything matcha related because the taste is most often slightly overpowering, sort of an acquired taste. Here however, with some matcha powder sprinkled on the top, it was not overpowering at all. It was pretty good. Not too sweet, the sprinkled matcha powder elevated the taste of the brownie by providing a tinge of bitterness that complemented the chocolate flavor well. The fact that it is also flourless, the texture of the brownie was different but thoroughly satisfying. Loved it.
Banana French Toast with Ice Cream, 12.90 ringgit. Man, this was da bomb. Definitely a perfect dish to conclude my time here at Touch of Love. This was basically dessert, lol, and is part of their ‘Toast’ section. Basically, what you’d get on the plate is 2 mini pieces of french toast + 2 slices of caramelized bananas + chocolate sauce + sliced almonds + a cup of Vanilla ice cream on the side. This was really good and made a perfect dessert, with just the right amount of sweetness and crunchyness.

总的来说, 他们家的料理都是偏重口味的, 喜欢重口味的朋友应该会觉得他们家的料理不错吃, 但喜欢较淡口味的朋友可能就会觉得有点腻~
Famous for beef noodle, which is pretty good. They will give you the large portion by default, so you need ask for small portion. The Fried Kway Teow is okay as well. Seems like the famous lala..
Verdict: The beef noodles has been built up a stellar reputation for years and and it is indeed famous for a reason – they know their food well and prove themselves noteworthy.
Unexpectedly, the roasted meat we ordered taste quite good, in particularly the char siew as the meat is juicy with the right level of sweetness.
There is a 20 minutes queue on Friday 9AM. Just take a number and have a stroll at the Kwai Chai Hong next door. The dried curry chicken (RM 12.90) and Curry Chee Cheong Fun (RM 5.80) is pretty..
HO KOW HAINAM KOPITIAM since 1956
Overall, it is good food at Ho Kow Hainam Kopitiam Jalan Balai. Is it worth the long queue? Well, if you enjoy local food, great kaya butter toast and a cuppa of Cham, it is worth the queue. Don’t expect extra ordinary food but comfort food at Ho Kow Hainam Kopitiam Jalan Balai.
There are many question marks after our visit to Restoran Kim Lian Kee Hokkien Mee Petaling Street. My parents were disappointed with the quality and taste of the noodles as they have been here many times. We all know they will be a century old and we sincerely hope that they can maintain their quality of the food and service. We don’t mind paying more due to their touristy location but at least the food is up to their brand name.
The best item that we ordered (the bro agrees) was the fried chicken wings. They came in a set of three pieces, freshly fried and still piping hot. The chicken was marinated well and had great flavour, the insides were juicy, and the skin was crispy.
A hearty meal that is a staple for most local Chinese families, the Hokkien mee RM9.50 is presented on a banana leaf-lined plate and is ultra-popular largely because of oodles of prawns, pork, squid and generous helpings of lard fritters. The mee is thoroughly enjoyable on its own but for locals, the canister of sambal belacan on each table is one of Restoran Kim Lian Kee’s primary attractions (our personal favourite as well)! 😉
Overall was not bad except for the service. Do not expect top notch service here.
Verdict: A solid bowl of beef noodles, and I can see why people have been flocking to the place for decades. It’s hearty, it’s comforting, and it’s substantial. Most impressive were the beef balls, which were so springy you can practically use them as ping pong balls – not a trace of tendon or whatnot left. The noodles were al dente and slathered in the savoury meat sauce.
We ordered Beef Mix Noodles (牛杂肉丸) RM10.00 that serves with a bowl of rice noodles (grounded beef as toppings) and a bowl of soup with assorted beef parts in it. The beef was tender and juicy, soup or broth was clear yet very rich in taste, overall taste like having a bowl of Bakso (Indonesian Beef Noodles) instead of the Pho Bo (Vietnamese Beef Noodles) that dashes some extra leaves and limes as flavouring.

Since it is highly customizable, so I choose Pan Seared Salmon as my main dish and opt for Kon Loh noodles with 2 desserts, the Carrot Cake with Toffee Sauce and Egg Tart. Well, you can really taste the freshness of the salmon fish, it can feel the juiciness of its in every bite and most importantly, I don't find any bones in it. Good to go for me!
Overall, I liked this establishment alot. It has a quirky and interesting vibe to it. The food is funny, in a good way, and for the prices that you pay, its some real bang for your buck.
On a personal Burnt Cheese Cake (RM 16) is dessert that we found it to be special. We were told it was a housemade, and the definition burnt introduced a slight pleasant caramelized taste into the rich and dense cheese cake. A piece of wonder to enjoy. It is noted half of the cake was grabbed by customers when it is being put on selling tray.
Order South China Sea as it seems crowds favorite @ RM 36. Serve with 63 degree poached egg, housemade hash and salsa. Quite a huge chunk of salmon that is serve, looks great in the picture. It is under season, quite pale in flavour and overcook too. Mix of salsa is a bit confusing, filled with apple, capsicum and the fried hash that looks like being fried in a long serving oil that gives such colour and quite at the base plate. I try to finish my salmon, and I guess I gave up along the way. Turns out to be quite disappointing.
For coffee-lover... Taste coffees from 5 different states in Malaysia, With just one order... Served on a wooden platter, With biscuits on the side...
Luckin Kopi Cafe -the newest modern kopitian behind Kwai Chain Hong ( near Petaling Street Kuala Lumpur ). Introduces a menu specializes in Local Street food that familiar with, plus unique delicacies fused with chef’s very own creativity.
Weekday lunch set at MYR 14.80 nett with free unlimited refill Luckin Kopi Kaw. I chose Indo Mee Goreng and Ayam Berempah (Deep fried Chicken marinated with spices). This is a satisfying "carby" lunch.
A minimalist vibe, comfortable enough for matcha and dessert. This is like a premium matcha shop, with plenty of variety of matcha with different origin. I just randomly selected Saemidori K1 (RM..
What we liked about Niko Neko -The matcha bun -The aesthetically white interior setting
This delicate Matcha roulade combines several textures in one with a soft, thin layer of crunchy Yuri Matcha meringue on the outside, that perfectly contrasts the light and airy half-matcha, half-whipped cream filling. It would be my perfect Zenful matcha moment had the dessert is less sweet.
Saw this ” Bak Kut Teh Siu Mai” so we thought it was interesting and ordered one. Ended up it looked nothing like “Siew Mai”, but more like tau fu pok stuffed with fish paste filling, then immersed in bak kut teh soup. Don’t bother to order this.
With over 110 years of history in making egg tarts, this is one place we don’t mind visiting for their egg tarts.
I am in love with their creamy custard egg tart and other flaky pastries. Not just that, their tarts are really brings you with the melts in the mouth sensation.
Spaghetti Teriyaki Beef set lunch which includes a cup of hot tea - MYR 20+ (10% service charge = MYR 22 nett). Close up - can see the thin slices of beef, mushrooms, seaweed, bonito flakes and parsley. Luckily the teriyaki sauce is not very sweet and the pasta is not swimming in sauce. I kept half the portion for dinner as usual.
Crispy Chicken with Creme Sauce, 21 ringgit. This was similar to the creamy pesto sauce dish we’ve had previously. I remember liking that one and was looking for something similar, so I decided to give this dish a go. Pasta and sandwiches were not of interest to me today, so yea. This was delicious. The crispy boneless chicken bits and the creamy sauce complimented each other well. The chicken on its own, would have been pretty dry, however, add on the creamy sauce and you would get a burst of flavors and textures. The creme sauce itself came with spices and a lil milky sweetness, it had an overall tasty flavor to it. It resembled thick butter chicken sauce but totally different in flavor. Overall, a delicious dish. Loved it.
The coffee here is out of my taste bud. Not my coffee profile that I like. Latte is more on bitter profile.
I went with the Salted Caramel Almond Chocolate. It was nice – not too sweet, milky and gooey. There was lumps of dense chocolate and nuts which provided a difference in texture. I liked it.
来这里品尝冰淇淋还说得过去, 但不建议来这里品尝他们的冰沙啦~
实话实说, 这里的确很适合来打卡拍照, 但是他们家的冰沙还真的让我们很失望
