That was a good lunch, our ramen craving appeased, we left happy!
Unlike its counterparts, Bari-Uma has an affordable menu but persistently serving authentic and addictive ramen.
There are several lunch set options, but the star of the show is the Bari-Uma: Ramen in pork flavoured shoyu soup with thick-cut flamed chashu. The set (RM29.90) comes with edamame, two pieces of pan-fried chicken gyoza and green tea. The soup is made from herbs, pork bones, chicken feet, high quality soy sauce and other ingredients, boiled for over 10 hours to extract maximum flavour. The result is a super rich, creamy and thick broth, which diners will slurp to the last drop. The ramen is fresh and springy as well, with just the right amount of al dente bite, and the thick cut chasu had a smokey, slightly charred taste, with a good balance between the lean and fat.
The Middle Eastern Medley is consistently good and (to us) it is the best thing on the menu. The lamb shank was fall off the bone tender and the rice was perfectly aromatic and delicious. It was worth braving traffic and the hot sun just to eat this.
Not exactly a pocket-friendly lunch but one worth every Ringgit spent - I would never slave in the kitchen to cook those lamb shanks and I am definitely not up for baking such fancy cakes. Hah!
When it comes to traditional Malay and Western fusion food served in a casual setting, Serai is a popular choice among urbanites in the Klang Valley. Their Jaya Shopping Centre outlet is crowded wi…
What do We Like about Restoran Ahwa PJ 222? -The many variety of foods serve by the various stalls. Everyone will find what they like for dinner or supper -The bright and airy environment even though there are many stalls preparing the food. We did not feel the stuffiness at all
Kuala Lumpur Hokkien Mee is one of our favourite noodles. Restaurant Ahwa (新青山亚华福建面) located in Jalan 222, Petaling Jaya serves one of the best Hokkien Mee, and it has been our favourite go-to place to satisfy our Hokkien Mee cravings.

Jackson’s Burger @ Seksyen 14, PJPJ Sec 14老字号 #华人汉堡餐车,营业了48年,有卖鸡肉、牛肉和鱼肉汉堡,还有Hotdog面包,干净又美味😋!【Jackson’s Burger】🚙 152, Jalan 14/29, Seksyen 14, 46100 Petalin...
My beef burger + extra cheese = RM5.30. THIS. This is what good burgers should be about. Simple, no frills but oh-so-tasty. The patty was flavourful, well seasoned and juicy, and I could really taste the difference and freshness in quality as compared to frozen patties. Instead of mayo which may overpower the taste of meat, the burger has just chilli sauce, onions and cucumbers.
The Chicken Burger with Egg and Cheese (RM6.30) we had was simple yet extremely appetizing and delicious. The buns were perfectly toasted with good buttery flavours while the patties were appetizing, flavourful and delicious. The combination of cheese and egg added so much depth of flavours. Needless to say, Jackson’s Burger was simple, delicious and appetizing. It is perfect for those who like their burgers clean and tasty. Besides the usual chicken and beef burgers, there are also a number of unconventional burger patties such as fish and crab.
Dosirak (Korean packed lunchbox) Set (deep fried shrimps) - about MYR14.90 and I gave half my rice and 1 shrimp to my friend. It is a well-rounded meal with rice, vegetables, shrimps, soup and tea.
Hae Mul Pa Jeon (RM28) The Korean pancake that is more expensive that either of our main meal but this, this is special to it's own and it's really, really good. Even though they fry it together with chilli (see the huge one in the picture) but you can't really taste the chilli, in fact, you'll be overwhelmed by the awesome dough of the pancake with the mixture of seafood and vegetable. You HAVE to dip it in the sauce. I have no idea how it's done but it tasted magical so it's worth every ringgit.
Overall Rating: 7.5/10. Bypassing the unhappy server, I had a decent meal. The dishes that I sampled was delicious - the barbecued beef was scrumptious (missed the picture for this one), the kimchi soup fantastic and the banchan selection superb. A decent Korean restaurant in PJ definitely worth dropping by.
To me, the simplest style of Chee Cheong Fun is always the best. Not as a meal but as breakfast or a quick snack. So, this CCF from Hai Keng is rather different, probably due to the stickiness of the texture and the sourness of the pickled chillies.
I think the "传统猪肠粉 Traditional Chee Cheong Fun" should be good because after my "三间庄猪肉丸粉 Pork ball Noodle" came then only it opens at around 7:30am+; and soon it opens for business, customers already queening up to order. My lunch of Pork ball Noodle today average at best.
This Nyonya style Curry Noodle 酸酸辣辣 Spicy and Sour and 比较油腻 a bit oily, beautifully presented and I liked it here as well compared to its "HQ stall" at USJ 2.
In conclusion, I believe that Tossed Cafe is quite obvious that it isn't your regular hippy cafes. It serves a decent meal in a clean and comfortable environment, with 4 different method of sitting - swing chair, bean bags, long table or a table for 4. Service was pretty responsive and the price is on a reasonable scale. It's not entirely cheap nor was it too expensive. If you're hoping for a quick and wholesome lunch, Tossed will definitely be able to assist you.
my yummy mushroom pesto spaghetti, though wishing there is more pesto, but the generous mushroom more than made up for it. RM18.90 We went during offpeak had a 50% discount 😛
In sum, Tossed! Cafe JSC is a great place for quick lunch, leisure dinner, friends gathering and even for event function. Come for a bowl of Laksa Johor, stay for a piece of Sticky Date Cake and coffee.
In conclusion, I believe I have found a new coffee place that surpasses in both coffee and cakes. This review was a little short because everything was pretty straight forward.
This time I ordered the fish and chips at MYR 18 nett. From the taste, this is not dory fish but I am not sure what fish it is because I did not ask. I like the thick chips.
This time I ordered the salted egg pasta for MYR15 nett. It has small cubes of chicken meat. The curry leaves enhanced the taste of the salted egg yolk sauce. Tastes quite good and my friend agrees with me.
The Restoran is a old-time Kopitiam maybe since 70s, not sure any owner changes but it has been around for as long as I know.
Food is cheap here, 8 ringgit each yawwwww!. Food tasted as delicious as it looks. I’ve got nothing else to say. The vegetables were awesome, the meat was flavorful and tender, the Chinese style Mee Hoon was a good replacement for rice, the Indian gravies were rich and filled with spices. It all worked real well, I ate like a pig and I most probably will do so again during my next visit. Burp!
Attention Penang curry mee lovers, you should know that the Kuantan Road Penang curry mee in OUG is now available in PJ too.
这里的食物做得比我想像中好,感觉上这应该配上落地玻璃窗和英式小田园风才恰当,瑟缩在商场顶楼被遗忘的角落好像可惜了一点。。。
The food and environment at Good Food & Co is decent, and the prices were what I expected from such a location/ambience. Will I go back again? Maybe – they do have a lot of items on their menu that I haven’t tried!
Overall, it was a good experience at Good Food & Co. - delicious food, friendly staffs and comfy environment. If you have yet to try Good Food & Co. then I strongly believe that you probably should give it a try. I was told they have set lunch too.
(M6) Butter Curry Chicken with Rice, 15 Ringgit. I dont know how they did it but the butter and curry mix complimented each other well. As soon as the dish arrived, the first thing that would hit you is the smell – the sweet buttery aroma and this would certainly get your mouth all watered up and ready for what you are about to taste. The first thing I decided to taste is the gravy. Man, it was good. First, the creamy, sweetish butter sauce hits you and the the subtle curry Having the flavorsome gravy with crispy,tender chicken thigh. Ooooo yum. I would totally order this dish again… and again… and again.
Red Bean Soup & Glutinous Balls, 7 ringgit. It was thick and filled with plenty of red beans. It had just the right amount of sweetness and there was 2 large glutinous balls filled with black sesame. I dislike glutinous balls that has very little filling but loads of flour – what exactly is the point of stating that there is a filling when it isnt even going to be filled to half of its capacity, right? Well, I am happy to say that it isnt the case here. here, you would literally get a generous portion of black sesame filling. It was soft, buttery and worked well with the glutenous balls and red bean soup. Loved it.
Dessert Dinner again at Farmer Street, Jaya Shopping Centre
Of course, I had to get my favourite order, Sisig, consisting of chopped pig head with onions, chilli peppers, calamansi and egg, served on a sizzling hotplate. The parts of the pig’s head create a medley of interesting textures: you get the crunch from the cartilage, and soft and fatty bits from the jowls and cheeks. It’s definitely not a healthy dish, what with the fat and grease, but it’s oh-so-sinful.
I was primarily here for my sisig quota of the month. I’ve mentioned multiple times on this blog, but I LOVE sisig, especially the one served at Razon’s. Unfortunately, Malaysians are not blessed with the grace of an outlet here, so this will have to suffice. I guess not many Malaysians find chopped pig’s ears, neck and jowls appealing lol.
The sisig here was just okay. After Razon’s, everything pales by comparison. The version at Narra wasn’t as finely chopped and they used a lot of onions; so it ended up having a strong onion flavour which overpowered the pork. The sizzling bits were also a little too hard on the outside. Portion was quite large but price was reasonable. Didn’t manage to try anything else on the menu since I was dining alone but they have all the staples such as adobo, tapsilog, and more.
What do We Like about Cu Cha Dan Fan 粗茶淡饭 ? -The boiled sliced beefs -The authentic spicy mala cuisine
Chef CY’s famous Nasi Kerabu So pleasing unto the eyes! The rice, infused naturally with the blue color dye from the home-grown Butterfly Pea flower, sits in the middle of the plate and is surrounded by fried fish, acar (pickles), keropok (crackers), paku pakis (edible fern), half of a salted duck egg, fresh ulams and bean sprouts. This dish is then served with homemade belachan (shrimp paste) chilli and sauce.
The Nasi Lemak, whilst not sinfully lemak, was light tasting and delicious enough. The low sugar Achar was not bad. We could taste the coconut milk in the Nasi Lemak – not as full on as the regular versions of these two hot Malaysian favorites you might be used to, but you definitely leave feeling light and not Sodium-ed or MSG-ed out. That’s a huge plus. CY favors herbs, spices, less salt & sugar, honey, maple syrup and pepper if she needs too use any seasoning at all.
If you’re looking for a taste of old-school curry mee, do check out Lum Kee Laksa. We definitely recommend the laksa Siam for something different and unique.
Sushi Zanmai's food is easy as it's halal, fresh, tasty and most importantly reasonably priced so it has been a staple Japanese choice amongst Malaysians and the quality of the rice is better than the one in Mentai / Jiro but of course, if you are willing to pay for slightly more than those.
Dinner turned out to cost less than RM 10 per person including the fried chicken and drinks. Though the hokkien mee was a bit of a let down, I’d come back here for the chicken wings and cantonese noodle, and oh, the drinks too!
Chicken Drumstick in a Bun at MYR 6.90+ (6% SST = MYR 7.31 nett). Sounds fun to eat so bought two to try. The end of the chicken drumstick is wrapped in aluminium foil and it juts out from the bun. You can also see the drumstick from the other end of the bun. It is nice as the bun tastes of herbs, the chicken drumstick meat is tender and you know that it is chicken meat that you are getting since a whole complete drumstick on the bone is in the bun.
Nothing like a warm bowl of gooey goodness in the middle of the day! The version here is topped with lots of shredded chicken, parsley and a localised ingredient you won’t find in Taiwan – a big dollop of sambal. Nothing to complain about here – the oysters were sizable and fresh,and the broth was nice and savoury.
Kangkung Sambal Belachan Double Beef Burger @ RM21.10 Our customisation resulted in a towering beef burger that is sandwiched with all the goodness. It is prepared with Kangkung, Onions, Grilled Pineapple, Slice Pan-Fried Egg and double beef patty which is dipped in thick Kangkung Sambal Belachan sauce. With so many ingredients and flavours in one burger, the flavours were as expectedly explosive. The patties, which were already appetizing and delicious on its own became more flavourful with the Kangkung Sambal Belachan – having a spicy kick and oomph too. Frankly speaking the quality and taste was unexpected from a roadside burger stall as it was really delicious
