Restoran Hup Fatt @ Mantin

This place is no secret to locals living in Mantin. Located at the same row with KFC Mantin (on the left side if you are coming from Semenyih/Kajang/KL), this coffee shop serves really good noodles.
We found out about this place a couple of weeks ago and once we've tried their noodles we've been back almost several weekends in a row.

We've even brought my family here for breakfast and they too enjoyed the noodles very much.

We've so far tried 3 types of noodles; Hakka Mee, Wonton Mee with Stewed Pork and Wonton Mee with Char Siew. While all 3 types are really yummy, my favourite is still their Hakka Mee. In my opinion, their Hakka Mee is definitely better than the so-called famous Hakka Mee at the Seremban Market.  The noodles are springy and bouncy and topped with generous amount of minced pork cooked in their special sauce. Each plate of noodles comes with a bowl of soup with 3 pieces of wonton.

Here's their Wonton mee with Char Siew.

Wonton Mee with pork and fungus (cha nyuk). See the bottle of pickled green chilies below? You must eat your noodles with these pickled green chilies.

There are other types of noodles sold here which we haven't tried. I've seen people ordering their curry laksa, yong tau foo and wonton mee with siew bak (roasted pork).
A small (mind you..it's enough for an average eater) plate of noodles costs RM 4.50.

Will surely be coming back for more:)

Lala Chong Seafood Restaurant @ Kayu Ara Damansara

Last weekend, we had lunch at Lala Chong Seafood Restaurant. It was to celebrate the birthdays of hubby and my sister. We arrived around 1.20 pm and the place was rather empty except for 3-4 tables. The place is clean and you can opt to sit inside (air-conditioned) or outside.

We quickly browsed through the menu and selected 5 dishes.

Here you go:

Paku (ferns) cooked with belacan (RM 15)

Lala in wine broth (RM 28)

Buttermilk crabs (RM 80/kg)

Fried Mantou (RM 2/pc)

San Bei Chi (3 Cups Chicken) - RM 18

Salted Egg Sotong ( RM 20)

All the dishes were good.  My mom liked their paku; all of us loved the crabs in buttermilk and salted egg sotong. We felt that the wine in the lala dish is not strong enough. I personally felt that there should be more basil in the 3 cups chicken but the rest of my family seemed to think that the basil content was just right.

The total bill came up to  RM 204.05 inclusive of rice (5 pax), drinks (tea in pot), tidbits (mango appetizer) and 6% GST.

Local Deli Restaurant @ Nilai - If you love Penang food, you gotta come here:)

If you are from the North and constantly crave for local delicacies such as assam laksa, char kueh teow and hokkien mee (prawn noodle), this post is dedicated to you.

This little restaurant is not obvious from the main road. I stumbled upon this place when I was on my way to collect a parcel from Gdex.

The only thing that got my attention was 2 words: Penang Food.

Without that, I don't think I would have even stepped into this place.

I spoke to the owners and was told that they moved to Nilai from Butterworth 20 odd years ago. This shop has been opened for at least 5 years.

The 1st time we were here was on Malaysia Day and there were not many people. The 2nd time was last week and the place was packed!

They have quite a bit of choices from their menu. You can find local delights (Penang Assam Laksa, Char Kueh Teow, Kueh Teow Soup, Hokkien Mee, etc) and some other additional food (Braised pork, curry pork rice). They also have appetizers (rojak, cucur udang) and desserts (cakes) to choose from.

Here's the pictures of the food from our 1st and 2nd visit.

Hokkien Mee (Prawn Noodle) - RM 6.50

Stewed Pork Rice (RM 8.90)

Penang Assam Laksa (RM 6.90)

Penang Char Kueh Teow (RM 6.90)

We also tried their rojak (RM 5), it's a little pricey but good in every way.

I can't get enough of this place. Definitely coming back for more!

Kedai Kopi Kou Fu @ Mantin

This humble kedai kopi (coffee shop) is where I usually bring my parents whenever they visit.

Usually, hubby and I order their noodles (tai lok meen and claypot bee tai bak) because we would struggle to finish our food if we were to order dishes.

Well, when there's 5 of us..I took the opportunity to try out their dishes.

Their Pai Kut Wong is awesome. I think if my stomach permits, I can eat 1/2 of  it by myself.

Pai Kut Wong (Sweet and sour spare ribs) - RM 20

We had Bitter gourd soup twice within 3 days. My sister loves this!

Bitter gourd soup (RM 10)

The Nyonya Sotong (squid) tastes good as well. I like!

Nyonya Squid (RM 20)

The Luo Han Zhai was rather bland (aren't all vegetarian dishes like that?).

Luo Han Zhai (RM 12)

There are so many other dishes I would like to try at this restaurant.
We will be back:)

Restoran Fu Jing, Semenyih

If you love eating wild boar, then this is the place for you if you are around Semenyih. 

This restaurant sells different kinds of noodles with topped with either minced wild boar, pork or chicken curry (dry). You can choose to have your noodles 'kan lou' style (with dark soy sauce), or in soups.

The portion is usually sufficient, but because it was a school holiday they ran out of wild boar meat which is why the pictures show a slightly lesser amount of wild boar. 

Yee Mee with Curry Wild Boar

Hor Fun with Curry Wild Boar

Bee Tai Bak/Lo Shi Fun with Curry Wild Boar

 The noodles are served with a bowl of soup (lat thong or plain - you can choose) containing meatballs and some pork slices. You can have innards if you like.

Lat Thong (Spicy peppery soup)

It's usually about RM 5.80 per bowl (we were charged only RM 5 since they ran out of wild boar).

This restaurant also sells wild boar in curry laksa and also  fish head noodles (worth trying!).

The GPS coordinates are: 2.951379,101.842395

The restaurant opens daily (until evening) except on the 1st and 15th day of the Chinese calendar

Chunburi Seafood Restaurant, Nilai

Been really slacking in blogging recently. This is partly due to improper time management, but mainly due to the sluggish internet here.

Here's a belated post about a Thai restaurant we visited last month.

Discovered this restaurant accidentally when we turned into a wrong junction and had to make a U-turn.

We ordered 3 dishes (enough to make us full to the max).

Mango Kerabu

Crabs cooked with salted egg

Tomyam Poktek

I can't really remember the prices of each dish, but the total bill came up to less than RM 60 (including 2 plates of rice and drinks).

Naughty Babe Dirty Duck @ Sri Hartamas, KL

I'm not lazy, just been really busy with work and cooking everyday after work.
How time flies, we're in the mid of July now, 2nd day of Raya to be exact.

Managed to meet up with my little sister yesterday for dinner and she brought us to this place at Sri Hartamas called Naughty Babe Dirty Duck.

We arrived about 6.30 pm and managed to get a table for 3. I heard that on normal days, people have to queue to wait for seats.

Hubby ordered the Hungarian Sausage served with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes with a dollop of mustard sauce by the side. The sausage was good, and I can't have enough of the sauerkraut. However, I prefer the mashed potatoes to be more buttery.

Hungarian Sausage ( RM 18.00)

I had the Dirty Duck Linguine which contains smoked duck slices on a bed of linguine. This is one fine pasta I tell you. The olive oil, herbs, chilli and parmesan brings out the flavour of the linguine. The smoked duck was superb and the entire dish was just awesome.

Dirty Duck Linguine (RM 28.00)

I found out that my sister loves burgers. She told me that when I gave her the stare when she ordered the Porky Burger. The bacon, cheese and pork patties were really good.

Porky Burger (RM 26.00)

Wait there's more. Most people come here for the signature Pork Ribs.
We can't leave without having that!
3 of us shared 1/2 slab of  BBQ pork ribs which were served with 2 sauces (hot sauce and tomato salsa).
Well marinated and oh so soft ribs which melts in your mouth...yums!

Naughty Babe Dirty Duck BBQ Pork Ribs - Half (RM 38.00)

To end our dinner on a sweet note (although we were stuffed to the brim), we had a slice of tiramisu.
The tiramisu in my opinion was rather lovely. Can't judge since I'm not much of a dessert person.

Tiramisu (RM 16.00)

The total bill came up to RM 146.90 including 10% service charge and 6% GST.
