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.
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.
I kept both the braised eggs, half the salted egg and finished the century egg with all the congee. With the red dates goji ice drink, I was very full. I think I will order exactly the same thing the next time I am here because it suits me. Easy to takeaway and the balance is enough for me.
I ordered Set ST01 (2 dishes from section B) at MYR 10.90+ (5% service charge = MYR 11.45 nett) and selected congee, braised egg and curry potatoes. For lunch sets, a glass of sugar cane or tea (hot or cold) is provided foc.
整体价格不算太贵,而且菜色很有家的亲切感。但是仔细想想,这不就像是我平时吃的杂菜饭吗?只不过卖相好看一点,但是价格可是双倍呢!
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.
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.
Very tastely yellow wine ramen as well as excellent claypot chicken rice!
