The other day I got very hungry and did not bring any food with me. So I made my way to Li Wei @ The Starling and got myself the 3 Combination BBQ Platter (RM27.00). There you go - roasted chicken, char siew and siew yoke. I requested for the leg part of the chicken but was given the breast. The char siew was nice and fatty but the siew yoke was too lean.
There was a good measure of wok hei and the fish slices were fresh, so were the single prawn and small piece of squid. Flavors were good and the portion size was very generous. Yes, I enjoyed this gravy koay teow more than I enjoyed yesterday's curry mee.
So yeah, I like this Li Wei very much and you can bet that I will be visiting again to try the other items on the menu and to revisit my favorites.
Dine-in 13 at 11.12 am on Friday 11 Sep 2020 d178. My portion of special beef Noodles from Pho Real, Starling Mall recommended by PH. The broth was light yet flavourful so I drank all of it. There were many slices of beef and briskets too. Definitely well worth the price of MYR 22.90 nett. No MSG because I wasn't thirsty after drinking all the broth.
Mee Rebus.
Judy's Hakka Lei Char at Foodies' Nest, The Starling Mall's food court with brown rice at MYR 12.50 nett. It is thick, minty and not salty at all because it is supposed to be mixed with the vegetables (chai poh - perserved vege is salty), peanuts and rice.
未来食堂 "Cook" at Foodies Nest in the Starling Mall (Damansara Uptown) offers Lap Mei with Pork Lard rice, Grilled Pork chop, Ginger Chicken and Braised Pork Leg.
Grouper fish fillet mee hoon at MYR 17 nett. It has seaweed, fish maw, deep fried bean curd sheet, vege so it is tasty but with a very light broth.
Ordered a Bento set of Japanese curry rice with fried ika (squid). The portion was just right for a medium eater, although I think for the price, they could have given a few more pieces of squid. The curry was mild and sweet, with soft chunks of potato and meat which went really well with rice, while the squid was deep fried and seasoned well, lending the dish an element of crunchiness. Sides included cabbage salad, miso soup and a slice of watermelon. A satisfying meal for a reasonable price.
I brought my spouse to try the Chee Yok Fun (soup) with egg at MYR 17.50 nett. The broth is super rich just like how PH described it to be. The broth even has the taste of the much sought-after wok hei. It is so thick and rich that I can only stomach one tablespoon of it.
Mutton Curry rice set with cabbage, sambal and a bowl of curry gravy at MYR 12 nett. The mutton curry is tasty with tender mutton although it does not look good from the photo. The cabbage is soft and naturally sweet. I kept half for dinner as usual.
I did not know what to order so ended up having this curry noodle (I chose hor fun and yellow noodle) without any meat at MYR 8.90 nett. The curry broth is very creamy from the coconut milk and more on the sweet side. Apart from the noodles, there are cabbage, long beans, bean curd sheets and bean curd puffs in the bowl of curry. As usual I kept half the portion of noodles for dinner.
