Among all the dishes I tried, I liked the Penang Pork Noodles best. Penang version is different from KL-style. The pork bone soup was flavourful, very 'ching' and sweet with the mee hoon soaking in the porky goodness of the soup.
Among all the dishes we ordered, I liked the curry me the best. The look and taste, it was pretty close to the dish I’ve had in Penang. Of course it would never be as good as the one up North but it does come pretty close. You’d get white curry mee that becomes all orange/red once you add the spicy sambal in and give it a good mix. Besides that, there were a good portion of pork blood cubes and cockles as well as tauhu, squids, pork balls and mee hoon. When it comes to this dish, I do agree with the postive reviews left by other customers – the Penang Curry Mee here is goooooooood 👌👌👌.
Prawn Noodle is awesome. Soup base do have sweetness and fragrant prawn head shell and also slightly sweet end. Love mind by adding 2 spoonful chili paste.
Visually the crabs are pleasing. Seems like a totally different interpretation of “nai yau” (butter milk), the gravy have a nice coconut milk fragrant, topping with a little bit hot chilli oils where the curry leaves boosted it more. There was a query among us about the gravy, arguing that gravy was from salad dressing or yogurt !!! Anyway, everyone gave thumbs up to this crab dish.
Food wise, I can’t say which is the best because their menu and taste are quite similar. Most of the time, we just pick whichever branch is the most convenient to go to. All in all, Sai Kong is not perfect but still good considering we always leave happy.
The Kei Tak Sek KTZ Desserts Kepong Baru is their HQ and we hope to revisit once the FMCO is over. Food here is good but it depends what you prefer too.
This is another places for desserts. The best here is the ” Loh Loh” ( smooth shaved ice with fruit topping, pureed and pieces of the fruit itself). Mat Toh Loh ( loosely translated as everything features shaved ice drizzled with mango puree and sago, then topped with slices of kiwi, strawberry, mango and honeydew).
Overall, it was a satisfying dinner and we wouldn’t mind returning to Bamboo Garden again for the fresh ingredients, great chili sauces and friendly service.
Verdict: Although the soup base here is far being impressive in my books but this place certainly a great alternative when we craving for pork bone soup steamboat because Coco Steamboat is quite far for us. The flavors of the broth is not shabby at all but I think it can be enhanced further.
Because I had a few meals today and only decided to order MAMA Noodle with Meatballs @ RM 12.80 (for 2 pax) – single pax is RM 7.80. This is pretty obvious that the soup is cook by themselves as at home we could not cook such a big batch. Soup is pretty good, where resembles the powder of mama noodle, and the soup do taste a little sweet, sourish as it needs and not too spicy, which I felt it is just right that many of non spicy eater can accept too. A pretty generic bowl of noodle soup.
Jumping straight to the main point, this is the Mama Creamy Tom Yum Deluxe, the signature dish, selling at RM 14.80. A bowl that consists of Yee Mee noodle, pork ball meat balls, prawns, squids and runny bull eye that paired with creamy Tom Yum soup all together. What's unique about it was nothing. Perhaps the effort on plating was the one that attracted the customers in. I personally felt very thirsty after eating, which I think it is a bad thing, right? So the choice is yours.
♥ Verdict: A wallet friendly and satiated meal indeed. For those who prefer Teochew style BKT with lighter flavour and you’re nearby, this Hing Kee or Heng Kee at Bandar Menjalara definitely worth trying.
Nasi Lemak is one of a staple food for Malaysians. It can be eaten anytime any where. Another of my favorite joint in Kepong is this place – Big Tree Head Mamak which next to the location of Famous Sunday Pasar Malam. Good news is that I do not need to drive all the way to PJ for my favourite nasi lemak.
Verdict: Although the cafe has a lovely interior and ambience, the food was just moderate and not outstanding. I’ll say that Kim & Savini Cafe is not one that I would come back again.
Curry Mee + Drink, 14.50 ringgit. It was yummy! The broth was spicy and milky but not overwhelmingly thick to an extent that it fills you up quick. I did enjoy sipping on that broth, slurp slurp slurp! The noodles, I opted for Mee, mee hoon mix, which was the perfect combination here. There were plenty of chicken slices and green beans. If you fancy ‘kerang’, cockles – go for it, I decided to go without it. The fried dumplings, brinjals were awesome. Leaving them to soak for a bit in the broth provided it with an amazing flavor, all wet and dense, flavorful on the outside and chewy on the inside, lovely. The dish came with a generous amount of pork skin, it sure was soft and succulent. Overall, I enjoyed this dish.
If you know someone who grew up in Kepong in the 80s, ask them if they know about Ah Yee Curry Mee. Chances are they have been eating her food since young. From what I was told, Ah Yee Curry Mee had a humble beginning as an economy noodle and chee cheong fun stall. Yong tau fu and other noodles were only added as part of her offerings in the later years.
Verdict: Both the Curry Mee and Asam Laksa may not take the crown for the best in my book, but they still a very commendable option if you’re in this area.
♥Verdict: So sorry to say that the food we had didn’t impress us much on our initial visit and I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t return anytime soon. (-_-)
Roast duck is something typically available in the day time. So it was surprising for me to stumble upon a roast duck stall called Kin Herbal Roasted Duck that opens exclusively for dinner. Fortunately, it’s also an excellent one. In fact, I find it a lot better than most roast duck stalls in Kepong.
[Non-halal] The last kopi-ek! We were in the Kepong area and decided to check out WS Kopitiam’s famous Ham Kopi (salted kopi).
The RM 88 set is perfectly good for 4-6 person where they are completed with 5 plates of pork slices, 2 plates of Smoked Bacon Special , 1 plate of chicken, 1 plate of Black Pepper Chicken, 1 plate of Squid , 1 plate of chicken, 1 plate of fish paste, 2 plates of choice of Lamb or beef and 2 sets of basic steamboat selection. With this price, it is really reasonable and what’s more the ingredients are fresh.
It wouldn’t be fair if I were to compare the ones I bought at Chen Brothers to the ones I had at the durian buffet, considering the differences in price. All I can say is that, if you are looking for good quality D24 durians, go buy them from Chen Brothers. If you have a good appetite for a whole load of D24 durians, go to SK6363.
For RM 16, we have no complains. The durian quality is pretty decent and we love the taste. If you a durian lover especially D24, you should be here. This will end your durian cravings for sure. We had enough durian for the three meals today and probably tomorrow. Remember, eat durian sensibly! Please take note that durians availability are seasonal and the durian rates are correct on 27/6/2016.
As far as I know this is the only durian buffet in town and it’s bang for your bucks at only RM16/pax. All of us who came for it went home happy and I hope you will feel the same too.
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.
A Chinese restaurant which has just opened a few months ago. Serving classic chinese dishes with traditional concept.
-- The awesome and relish taste of delicious food and come with the reasonable price . Their serve fresh fish claypot as theit signature dishes with Talapia and catfish .
For the soup version, we ordered the pork ribs with some meat balls. The soup is light with very heavy garlic and herb taste. Quite good, but I prefer Lim Kee’s better. It taste nothing like the Klang’s version as the bak kut teh in Klang are mostly heavily flavoured and the soup is very much thicker.
Verdict: Other than THIS, Auntie May Prawn Mee is another option in this area if you’re craving for Prawn Mee. I know there is another praiseworthy Prawn Mee stall at nearby neighbourhood, let me try it out one day and share with you all again.
One of the must try here is the Signature Fish Pot. The Signature Fish Pot is something worth for every penny and they had deep fried the fish and then cooked them together in the bowl of creamy hot soup with vegetables and mushrooms. The Signature Fish Pot comes simply good and delicious with the aromatic taste from the soup itself and the flavours are well balanced.
It has been a while since I posted about food in Kepong. So, here’s one. If you have been to Thailand you would have probably seen or tasted Thai pancake simply known as Roti by the locals.
