Another lunch of coconut and pad thai. This pad thai is not that sweet so it tastes very good.
"Streat Thai" and not (Street) Thai, is all about Thai street food (also one at Tesco Puchong), the establishment also offers Online Order and Delivery services!
At Streat Thai, they dub it ‘Tom Yum Wow’. H&I got a pot for two to share. (RM42.90). Aside from crab meat sticks and chicken balls, the mix was also topped with fried chicken wings which still retained a slight crispiness even after soaking in the soup. Served separately were fried fish fillets which were nice and moist. Salty, crispy, springy, savoury – what more can one ask for?
If you’re looking for a good neighourhood casual Japanese restaurant, Hanazen is worth checking out.
Overall, a positive first visit to Hanazen at PJ Jaya One.
Sometimes when we’re not adventurous, we usually just go for the chef’s special sushi moriwase. The spread and quality of this is value for money.
Generous portion of pasta, cooked al dente, topped with shaved parmesan cheese. For its price, I felt the pasta lacked ingredients as it only had a few slices of mushrooms and some cherry tomatoes, but can’t fault the flavour.
6/10. The School's ambiance is an inviting place to hang out and chill and Jaya One is filled with business people who know how to enjoy life too. But Doi Chaang Coffee does not offer anything else out of the ordinary for me to frequent other than the ambiance. Coffee's good but not enough to draw me to be a permanent fixture and they don't sell mains.
Coffee: it was good. Not ultra-fantastic out-of-this-world kind, but much better than the usual Starbucks/Coffee Bean latte.
I notice a new item on the menu of Go Noodle so I ordered it to try. A bowl of Sui Gao (dumpling Beijing style) in soup at MYR 14.50++ (10% service charge and 6% SST = MYR 16.82 nett). The skin is thick so I like it. The minced pork and chives fillings reminded me of the fillings of Siew Long Bao sold by Esquire Kitchen. There are about 8 dumplings in one bowl. I recommended this dish to my family and they like it too because they like Beijing style dumplings.
Their bursting meatball does indeed burst as you bite into them so be careful. As those had a slightly saltier center, it does change the flavor of the soup a bit which can be best described as a light pork broth. Nothing at all like the Sabah type or even that other type. Almost like a healthier version of pork noodle soup.
Tried the La La (Clam) Noodle at Go Noodle, Jaya One, PJ - MYR 12.90+ (MYR 14.20 nett). I still prefer the Grouper Fish Slices Noodle.
The 碟头饭 Diap Tao Fan" comes with Day soup of 菜乾枸杞豬骨湯 Dried vegetables, wolfberries, pork bone soup with a variety of rice based Main dish choice. My choice of the main was 滑蛋梅子鸡饭 Plum sauce Chicken rice w/Egg. The lunch was positive. But, 小捞王火锅 Xiao Lao Wang Hotpot is obviously a Hotpot restaurant established in 2013 with its first operation in Sungai Buloh; later moved to Damansara Uptown and then move again to the present location PJ's Jaya One. There is also one opened recently in USJ Damen where it works with LamMeeYa in a single premise offering Noodles, Xiao Chao, and Hotpot.
The limelight of the meal was definitely the Curry Fish Head (RM58 small, RM98 medium, RM128 large). Filled to the brim and loaded with big chunks of meaty fish head drenched in thick curry gravy, the dish warrants orders of piping hot steamed rice.
Made fresh to order. That's the promise Xiao Lao Wang makes when you order its new house speciality of Curry Fish Head (RM58 small, RM98 medium, RM128 large). A substantial pot of rich, aromatic curry filled with chunks of meaty fish head, tender okra, thick fingerlings of eggplant and sliced cabbage, it is a sublime serving everyone can relish with gusto. Co-owner Pamela Jan assures us this delectable curry is cooked to order, to ensure its uncomprising taste quality.
The pieces of grilled rice cakes were crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the insides. Tastes very good when coated with the sweet and slightly tart, apple honey dip provided.
We had the Apple Platter (RM 88) which is their signature. The platter comes with the Apple Samgyupsal, Apple Moksal, Apple Hanjungsal, Apple Wraps, Tteok , Homemade Sausage and the Apple Salad.
Everything here is very neat and clean.
Dumplings (sui kau) were nice and big.
Thoughts: 阿妈厨房 Ah Ma Kitchen is at Level P1 (Lower ground from the escalator) inside PJ Jaya One mall. The restaurant offers a variety of noodles and pan mee choices, also on the menu are soup and porky rice. But the eatery known also for its snacks and Chinese desserts soup. Sampling their "阿妈莲子羹 Lotus Seed Soup", surprising not "watery" and taste authentic sea coconut, lotus seed, pigeon egg, and longan. Does not taste overly sweet or "sugary water" taste, very drinkable! Definitely worth visiting in the future to sample its other Tong Shui offering as well as the specialty snacks, like the recommended "Home-made Bak Chang"!
This time I ordered deep fried wantons (a plate of 6 pieces for MYR 6.90 nett) and Sweet Potatoes Tong Sui at MYR 4.90 nett but the latter was not available so I changed it to Red Bean Tong Sui at the same price so my lunch costs MYR 11.80 nett in total. The skin of the wantons is too thin so although it is very crispy, it is too oily but the filling is tasty with a cube of crunchy jicama or water chestnut in each wanton. I won't order it again because of its oiliness. I just realise that this combination of food is similar to my lunch at Weng Wah.
Old Town White Coffee at PJ Jaya One can be prominently noticeable from Jalan University. For breakfast, it is advisable to park across the street along Jalan 17/1A in front of the low cost flats.
A spin on the omakase experience, with reimagined Chinese classic dishes. Are you game? At Chef Photographer Andy Ong in Jaya One, PJ, you only get to know the menu when the food arrives. Andy is a little whimsical, a little temperature and as ardent in his cooking as his photography.
Overall, we enjoyed the ramen here. Do check it out as an alternative to the other popular one. Besides ramen, Shin Harutei also serves udon, rice bowls, and nabe.
What’s most attractive about this street-inspired Japanese restaurant is the prices. You can get a hearty bowl of rice or ramen from RM16.90 to RM19.90 which is rare and very affordable, compared with other places that charge closer to RM30 per bowl.
Ever thought you could get a full Japanese meal under RM10? Now you can at Hayazushi, Jaya One. Helmed by a Japanese-trained Malaysian head chef, the proudly...
There are 45 variety of rm$2.50 sushi plates to choose from and lunch time today was quite packed, very interesting find at Jaya One (with the "boat" conveyor")!
Curry Fish Head @ RM 98 (medium). A pot of pippin hot clay pot fish head is indeed a pot that you will be looking at during rainy season. A mixture of spices that pump into the claypot that give you the taste of a mixture of nyonya and Penang style combine. Slightly thick in gravy yet hint of spices at the after taste. Curry is not spicy as they are more on the fragrant side.
The foc dessert of the day is red bean kuih which is tasty because it is not very sweet and my foc drink is cold tea.
When my order was served, I knew I made a mistake in selecting this dish - L9: Braised Pork Rice at MYR 13.90+ (10% service charge, MYR 15.30 nett) because the meat was cut into such tiny cubes that I could not even see them and I spotted fatty pieces floating in a lot of oily gravy. What a horrible sight. Fortunately, when digging in there, I found half a hard boiled egg which I ate and some tiny pieces of mushroom. I then gave the rest of the braised so-called meat in gravy to my friend who gave me her portion of pineapple in the portion of pickled vege (acar) as she does not eat pineapples due to its cooling properties according to TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine).
My Oreo Shake (RM15.90). It was nice and creamy, and the bits of ground Oreo added some crunch to it. It wasn’t particularly fantastic though, and the portion was quite small so it wasn’t worth the price, for me at least. The ice creams look like they fare better (bigger portion), according to videos online.
Two Birds Golden Ale is a handcrafted, full flavoured ale absolutely true to its name. It pours out to the glass golden in colour, very bright and exhibits grassy and citrus characters. This brew is crisp, refreshing and balanced and perhaps the perfect accompaniment to good food.
The Thong Sui kiosk is cater mostly for take-away with only a cashier operating at the kiosk. Price a little expensive at rm$6 for all the variants but the 龙眼豆腐 Longan Tofu sampled was not too bad!
Spicy Nasi Lemak Whole Chicken Leg at MYR 14.90 nett. My friend cannot identify the taste of the 3 different coloured rice and she feels that the chicken leg is on the dry side but says the sambal tastes good.
Overall, Tommy Thongchai has good food for good prices and I foresee them becoming one of my favorite Thai restaurants to visit. Gauging by the crowd, I believe a lot of other people do so too.
Overall I love my stay here, this modern Thai Fusion Restaurant seems to be the perfect spot to unwind ourselves after a long week at work or you could just stop by for some good food, the environment is kids friendly too before the night gets too wild.
Simply yet delicious - Fried Mama Noodle
There are certainly plenty of roast chicken around here but few leaves a lasting impression. A recent invite landed at Brasaria, a Peruvian inspired Pollo A La Brasa joint flagging spit roasted chicken marinated with Peruvian flavours. Located at Jaya One, Brasaria aims to bring delicious taste of Peruvian dishes to our shore.
After months of drooling over their photographs posted online, I had leisure lunch at Brasaria just yesterday. Being a huge fan of everything-chicken, this was the meal I was looking forward to the entire week. The menu at Brasaria is Peruvian inspired, with charcoal roasted chicken being the highlight. There are also a number of carb-centric dishes on the menu, with chicken being the obvious link. And as for me, I only had eyes for the chicken - only the chicken. Let's eat!
Unlike the conventional way which uses centrifugal juicer, JUUS’s juice are freshly cold-pressed and extracted from fresh vegetables and fruits at slow speed, without any artificial flavouring, colouring and preservation being added. This less heat production methodology will help to keep more of the fresh ingredients’ nutrients and enzymes intact at its natural state.
