Pepper soup and Claypot Chicken

花 雕 鸡
(Mandarin: Hua Diao Ji)
(Cantonese: Fa Diew Gai)
辣 汤
(Mandarin: La Tang)
(Cantonese: Lat Tong)

Does it look appealing? Delicious huh? I don't know what does it called in English. Therefore, I've written the description in Chinese for your viewing pleasure. And, this is a store which serves non-halal food, Muslims were not given a choice to dine here coz they serve PORK. Sorry for the inconvenient causes.

Ok, here's how to find this delicious food. This store is situated behind the Serdang post office. It closes on every Monday. It opens from 7am-2pm and 5pm-10pm. *my memory failes me to recall the exact timing. This is the roughly timing, will give u the exact timing and location when I visit the store again.

Ok, here's guide when you're there. Grab a seat inside. There are around 5 air-conditioned room. You gotta be fast as it's selling like hot pancakes (the seats inside I mean). KL weather is hot especially in the afternoon (that's the time you'll be having lunch). Therefore, the seats outside is usually not demanded.

Then, get someone to order for you. Famous ones there are those shown above and there's another dish, 醉 虾 (direct translation: drunken prawn; mandarin: zui xia; cantonese: zhui ha; english: prawn stewed with wine). It'll cost about RM35 per pot, depends on how much share that you order.

The two dishes above are the most common ones there. Everyone who dine there will order this 2 dishes. Don't be greedy, if there's 2 of you, order 1 share each. It's quite big portion, unless you have huge appetite, or else it'll be too much for you. 辣 汤 can be ordered alone with pork, chicken, pork intestines and pork stomach, pork liver (I guess you can ask them take out some of the things that you don't want). And, you could actually add things like Fish Paste (鱼 滑 ), Straw Mushroom(金 针 菇 ). It's up to individual what they wants to add but of course additional charge is applicable for those who wish to add anything into their soup. The soup will cost about RM7.50 per share while the chicken will cost about RM8 per share.

Next, get a dish of vegetable. You'll have a list of varieties to chose on. Ordinary chinese would know this, it's essential everytime you dine in a chinese restaurant. It'll cost around RM8 per plate? I've even seen people ordering tau-fu (豆 腐 ), it's normally served cold, with fried onions and corriander as decorations or steamed hot. *I haven't been trying this, so I'm not sure how they serve it.

I think that's all for now. See ya soon =D

Beef noodle at Pudu

Soup with beef and meat balls

This is a kind of special noodle which looks bit like Wan Tan Mee and taste like it but it's much nicer. They called it Sabah Mee.

Chilli must have when having this noodle.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looks delicious huh? This is the beef noodle sold at Pudu. It's opposite a tyre shop, should be along Jalan Chankat Thambi Dollah. It's at the road side, you should be able to see the stall, name Ngau Kee.
The soup base is brownish, unlike those ordinary beef noodle. They uses salted vegetables to make the soup more tasty. They have beef balls, fresh meat, beef tummy and another harder kind of meat which I do not know the name yet.
This could be eaten with dry noodle or noodle mix with the soup base. It's your personal choice to eat dry or "wet" but I personally felt that dry is nicer. Something special, their dry noodle are served without using the black sauce.
One bowl of ordinary beef noodle cost RM4.30(S). This stall opens daily but closes on Sunday. It should open around 11am-3pm.
I bet you can't resist to eat this once you've tried. It's super delicious and so far everyone I brought fell in love with this =D
(I have to find out more details in order to for people to find out about this stall)
*apologies

Pang Kee [pronounced as "poon kei" in cantonese] Dim Sum in Sri Petaling (non-halal)

1st procedure when you dine in at a restaurant.
Distribute the chopsticks and plates.

Suggestor for this breakfast trip.

Don't misjudge them. They're not fighting for food YET.


This is the sauce that you must have when eating Dim Sum (点心 ).


We're definately enjoying our breakfast together.

This is the SPECIALTY of this shop.
It's called the Kai Woh Pau (鸡 窝 包 )


She's enjoying her Kai Woh Pau.

Hot and tasty porridge 皮 蛋 瘦 肉 粥


芋 头 糕 & 萝 卜 糕
(Yam Cake with Char Siew and Fried White Carrot Cake)
-Must have when you dine in at any Dim Sum restaurant-

***********************************************************************

Well, it sounds ridiculous for a bunch of young people, waking up at 6am on a Monday morning, just because of the "kai woh" pau in Sri Petaling..it really shows that we love food that much!:p
The pau is no ordinary paupau, because it is filled with glutinious chicken rice in it with a pau cover, if you fancy something unique, "kai woh" pau is really something for you and it is a specialty in Sri Petaling. There are many dimsum restaurants selling "kai woh" pau in Sri Petaling, and there isn't any definite answer which is the best as it differs according to your taste bud!:) As Pang Kee was recommended by our friend, so we gave it a try! Before we were there, the hardest part is looking for a carpark, because it is a crowded area. Going on late morning is indeed a no-no after taking advice from our beloved AiLing! Overall, the pau didn't dissappoint us as that was the most item we ordered on that day.
The only dissappointment for me was the dimsum wasn't served while it is still hot, but i think maybe it's a weekday. Hence, the flow is not that fast..I personally have my fussy way when i am heading for dimsum, and it's one of my favourite breakfast, forgetting the calories we gain after swallowing everything! I would prefer the dimsum would come only after we are done with our preparation with the cutlery, so i can enjoy the food after everything is set! I saw those waiters taking the dimsum took the whole thing for us to pick when we were there, which i think it is inappropriate, because once we finish washing the cups n chopsticks, the dimsum is cold and i think it spoilts the taste of the dimsum! So, next time when you go for dimsum, try to ask them to serve only when you are ready so that you can enjoy it!:-)
The "Siew Mai" is recommended too, but i think the fishball is not a popular item in that restaurant! :@ i think most of us preferred the steam dimsum rather than the fried one when we were eating that day!but, of course, there are plenty of dimsum restaurants you can explore in Sri Petaling. Pang Kee is located same row with KFC, precisely, a few shops beside. In addition, opposite of Pang Kee there is Kinrara Mamak stall and The Store just in case you couldn't locate Pang Kee! I am not sure whether is it open daily, but if we happened to go there agian, i will definitely ask!:-)

Wendy's

We're busy queue-ing for our food. =D

See how the workers preparing the food.

I'm even busy munching my last bite when I took this photo. I can't resist the burger. Slurp~ delicious......

Expression speaks louder than words. Don't you feel the "delicious-ness" when you see our faces? We really LOVE the food served here =D

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We had dinner in WenDy's when we were in Sunway. When we were in shopping malls, the worst part is choosing a place to eat! The choices made us couldn't make up our mind..On the other hand, we are concern about the price and the taste of the food to avoid having a bad day!
This is the first time i tried WenDy's though i used to passed by that shop when i am always in Sunway! WenDy's basically is one of the fast food chain-stores, but it sells mainly burgers!The specialty of WenDy's burger were: the meat for the burger is in square. You may find their advertisement saying that they don't cut corners, which somehow grab my attention!
There were only four of us that evening! We tried the beef, shrimp as well as fish burger! All of it wasn't that bad..if you like beef, it is really highly recommended! The price was reasonable eating there! The system in WenDy's is just like McDonald's! The size of the burger are the same, what differs were the chips and soft drinks! Less than RM 10, i can have a very fulfilling meal! I ordered 1/4 pounder small combo, which cost me RM 8.99 excluding 5% service tax! Among us, there is Mr. Sheelok who is always hungry, he gets hungry really fast! From what i know, his metabolism rate is much faster than a normal homosapiens in our age! So, he ordered extra a baked potato with broccoli and cheese. I think you can only have that when you are extremely hungry! There are two types of baked potatoes, and you can choose from the toppings choices given! Of course, the price will be different from the toppings you chose! While writing this, i kept on reminiscing the beef burger i had that day, it was good and yummy! If you are on budget, we would recommend you to try the 1/2 pounder burger medium/large combo , which made us bloated up! In WenDy's, it is good because it operates 365 days,according to the shopping mall's opening and closing time..It is a good place to go especially during public holidays when most of the stalls are not open! I know that IOI mall in Puchong has WenDy's as well, others i really couldn't recall, but i think you can find it in major shopping malls! Worth a try! Besides, a picture speaks a thousand words.. :-)
