When I was based in Jalan Alor for my 2 weeks training over my new job in handling outlet operations, then only I realise there are so many good food during in the afternoon as per compare to Jalan Alor at night. I was introduce to this place where Pin Chen Hainanese Chicken Rice serve one of the best chicken rice in this street, not only that as in this street during lunch, you can find at least around 4-6 shop sells chicken rice.

Folks here are very friendly as there as they all work like a family and this is the first time I see a chicken butcher is a lady.

Eating chicken Rice here is surely not cheap with a name tag as Alor and my chicken rice cost me RM 12 for this one set. After tasting it, I am willing to pay for it as indeed it is one plate of a great chicken rice, where they use oily chicken oil to make the rice very fragrant which is from the abstract of steaming chicken. Chicken meat is so soft, juicy and tender, where the skin is shinny.

The best part is their home Hainanese chilli sauce. little spicy but the green colour is sourish along with some ginger. A perfect combination. I ended up order another set of chicken for my own consumption.

Few days later, heard my colleague said that this coffee shop serve great pan mee too which is a sub tenant and try them out. Their favourite is Dry Pan Mee Noodle with their own special sweet mushroom sauce by topping with generous amount of fried anchovies. 

Pretty good as I drip in more of their home made chilli sauce.

Next day, I tried their soup version and I am in love with it. Thick with flavour as according to the owner, she cook the broth for 4-6 hours with her special mix of bones, to make the soup taste so sweet and strong in taste. Pouring my whole samble into the soup just add the spicy kick of it.

During my work training at Jalan Alor, my boss told me he loves this Alor Corner Curry Mee. It is hard to ensure this stall opens or not as I have came here twice and it is close. I guess it is by luck and I was lucky for the third time. The name Alor Corner indeed the stall is located at the corner entrance of Alor street.

I guess all great hawker food in Alor only operates a few hours as this lady operates only after 2pm.

Preparation on the spot while me and another guy is waiting to be serve.

Chili is not for curry mee as they do sell other noodles.

Sitting over here is going to be very hot. 

Here you go on my pippin hot Curry Noodle and I ordered extra for a side dish which is a mix homemade fish balls and pork balls.

Curry Noodle is filled with slice egg plant, chicken meat, fresh cockle, & taufupok. Creamy soup base with coconut milk which is slightly strong, after adding in the chili it tone down and pretty well balance. Not too spicy yet it is just nice. This bowl of noodle is just perfect as the owner use different noodle that give you a springy texture which is slightly harder than any yellow noodle yet chewy like spaghetti. 

I am not a big fan of fish ball but whenI see home made, it is a must order for me. It is springy , fragrant with fish taste and I like my pork ball solid and chewy. A great bowl to order extra.

My total damage @ RM 12

Uptown Damansara indeed is now having a huge change of eatery in the area. Desserts shop are popping out and mushrooming. However there are one stall that still remain well known to many folks in the neighborhood is this Brader John Burger. I pass by this stall couple of times and there are always a lot of people siting, waiting and queuing for the burger that triggers me, is this Ramlee Burger so good? Then recently drop by to find out.

They have pretty huge menu and there are 4 meat provider from Ramly which is the classic, DARA & Sempooi.

There were alot of customers waiting for take away and also alot of dining in. I order my usual which is Burger Special Cheese @ RM 6.50. 

After an hour wait, here come my burger that is drench in their own special sauce which is black pepper which is one of the main sauce that make the burger taste much better or if the sauce is not enough, you can add on at the table as they have a bottle each on every table. I can only said I have better ones before such as Seapark, Ampang area and a few others.

I just would not wait for an hour for this burger. Got to know that they used to taste much better as the quality had dropped. Oh well, will be your own verdict then.

Another place for lunch in Jalan Alor is this kopitiam known as Restaurant Beh Brothers. At night this kopitiam serve Thai “Dai Chow” and Bak Kut Teh. In the afternoon there are two stalls is well known to many lunch patrons which is the noodle shop in this coffee shop and also Indonesian Economy rice right behind it.

What I have been told that if you are at this stall, there are a few items that introduce by my colleague is, their Pork Noodle, Red Wine Mee Sua(which is their signature), Curry noodle and dry wan tan mee. 

The Curry noodle presentation here is quite similiar to Alor Corner Curry Mee and the taste is quite different too. For this bowl, it is serve with fresh cockles, tau pok, pork skin and chicken meat where I chose Wan tan noodle as the base. Curry here is slightly watery, not too thick, chili paste add on the thickness of spicy where there is a little spices taste in it. Both of this stall have their own character. Love the wonton noodle as it have slight springy texture.  @ RM 9 

One of the Wan Ton Dry noodle which is their own version. Love this too as Springy noodle texture with mince meat gravy and their own version of BBQ pork. A simple dish yet satisfying.

Tried their instant pork noodle too, where plenty of pork ingredients in it, from liver, mince meat, pork meat, kidney and others. Instantly cook with their special broth, and top with pork lard. Soup is more on a clear side which is not too thick in flavour yet just right put my cravings to stop.

This Stall which is the Indonesian Economy Rice is quite well known to many construction worker and staff around the area where there are alot of take away. Quite good too.

One of my latest addiction which I found a simple street food right opposite my work office is this little peddler that selling Rojak in front of this low cost flat. It is just a stone throw away from Kuchai Lama Entrepreneur Park main entrance. I have been visiting this stall for at least once a week.

My usual order would be just Rojak and a bowl of cendol (that is filled with cendol, grass jelly, kidney beans and gula melaka.) Simple enough to constantly attract me for a simple tea time stopover. 

Love their rojak as the gravy is slightly spicy yet taste a bit like rojak sauce yet it is not. Thick enough to keep sipping it and just that the gravy is in slight inconsistency.

Cendol is perfect for our hot weather. 

With my colleague for a quick break.

A simple food for me that just enough to keep me going.

Restaurant Goon Wah XO Fish Head Noodle 冠华XO鱼头米 is one of a hidden gem in Kuchai Lama. Located slightly off from the main area or directly opposite KFC drive thru is a place where you would want to consider to pay a visit.

Came here during lunch time and it is pack with hungry goers. It was so hot that the lady owner introduce their signature lemon asam drink, and ended up I ordered 2 glasses.

There are 2 signature item that you must not miss in here is their Claypot Lou Shi Fun and their XO Fish Head Noodle. 

IT is quite different compare to any other traditional Claypot lou shi fun that I have eaten. Pretty unique and I am loving it. Filled with bits and chunks of park lard, dried shrimp and with their special marinated mince meat. After you mince it all together, you will have an even taste. Texture of lou shi fun is slightly chewy to my liking, not too salty yet very fragrant. To make the taste extra punch, add in their special home made chili. It is spicy and pairs very well.

This is their in house specialty XO Fish Head Noodle . Serve in pippin hot claypot, filled with yam slices, milky soup base, fried fish head in it. A perfect bowl to start off with as their noodle is unique with it silky smooth texture yet slightly thinner than laksa noodle and light chewy. Soup base is like from a “tong dai” clear soup base with hint of sourness, milk flavour and flavour is just right.

End our meal with their Guinness chicken wings. Perfectly cooked and marinated where it is caramlise, fragrant and regreted did not order more. These are the 3 dishes that must order if you do come to this outlet. Our total bill is around RM 52.

Quite a nice place for a meal.

Heard about this place alot when I was still with my ex company and since working around this area, decided to come back to give it a try. Kum Kee Charcoal Roast Pork is actually famous for their roast pork in this neighborhood that operates in this Kedai Kopi & Makanan Mooi Mooi at Taman Continental or off Kuchai Lama. Now they have expended another lot with the red signage, with better seating capacity and cleaner.

I prefer the ambiance of Mooi Mooi coffee shop with my own perception that all those good Chicken rice or roast pork should be in old classic coffee shop settings.

When I reach at 12.30 pm, the place is already pack with hungry peeps.

The uncle see us take picture and he also took 2 slab his fresh roast pork for us to take picture. Cute uncle.

Even though their rice is cook with some chicken oil, it lacks the fragrance that chicken rice need to have.

Their Char Siew is alright, where it is slightly caramelize. I had better one before at my own preference.

If you are here, best just to order their chicken and roast pork. chicken is juicy, moist and fragrant.

Love their roast pork where I ordered another plate to munch. Crispy skin where it is suppose to be, not too salty, yet the meat is soft and juicy to my liking with a little hint of saltiness from their soy sauce.

Just order Siew Yuk and chicken is good enough. Our Total bill came to RM 49.50 for 3 pax where I think it is quite decent.

I have drive pass this place numerous time and constantly ask why is there such a place in the housing area, only then found out that Lucy Fried Pan Mee actually is one of a hidden gem in this neighborhood (Happy Garden or the verge of Kuchai Lama) where they serve great Fried Pan Mee – quite a unique dish. If you are sick of modern food, then back to basic where this staple food will impress you. Used to cook by the mom where found out that she is ill at the moment and took over by her son.

Do have patience to wait for this uncle to cook as he might be slow where I suspect he have Parkinson Disease with his prominent symptoms – shaky hand.

Their menu is in Chinese and I do not know how to read, so ask the uncle to introduce.. Then we order their classic dish are both Pan Mee Soup and Fried Pan Mee.

I am in love with his texture of noodle which is so soft, slightly chewy and the texture is so smooth. By looking at the dough when he rolls it, knew that the noodle is gonna be amazing. Soup base is clear soup with mild flavoured broth that he cook in the morning to get the bones flavour out, and to make it sweet, he uses some Chinese Cabbage.

Their fried version is their signature where is consider one of a pretty rare dish, with many perception that Pan mee have to be in soupy base. However their Fried Pan Mee is fried with wok hei, noodle is springy and sweet and saltiness from their dark soy sauce is well balance. Adding in anchovies to give you the crunchy salty taste. Best of all do add in their homemade chili. I added 2 into my noodle to give you extra kick of spiciness. AWESOME!

According to the uncle best friend where he sat down with us and chit chat further, all the ingredients are bought fresh from the market in early morning, will then cook the broth fresh for a few hours till the aroma is out and only start operating from 10am – 3pm only.

For this place, if you like homecook version, this is certainly one of the place to be.

Since I start working around Kuchai Lama, there is this one particular stall that I have been hunting around as this Pakcik serve great paper thin Apam Balik and it was till recently I manage to found him back by change when I was stuck in a jam that I did a detour. Now I  would rate this as one of the best Apam Balik at Kuchai Lama can be found in front of this 99 Speedmart Pasar Mini.

I love my apam in paper thin version where this uncle did it to perfection. What I usually order would be add corn and add peanut where a piece with normal ingredients is at RM0.90 and my version is RM1. 

One of the reason I love this is also the uncle add a small piece of margarin at the end before flipping up to cool it down. That is when the marjerine melt to create the lovely bitter fragrant of butter that mix with its roasted peanut and corn. If you eat it while it is hot, you can still enjoy the cracking sound of it. I have my apam toast slightly longer too, to get the extra crisp of it.

One of my favourite stop.

When Coffee hype first started, I still remember clearly that Coffee Et Cetera or known as Coffee ETC is one of the earlier player in the scene that is well known for their Belgian Waffle. Back in those days, tried a few times to visit this place while on the way dropping or fetching my friend from Subang Airport where I did not pay my attention to their operating hours which cause me visited them 3 times on Sunday and it was closed. Soon only realize, their business is base on commercial crowd and neighborhood around the area.

Coffee ETC ambiance sure do give me the hint that they are more like a fast coffee concept, where you do place your order at the counter and also found out that they are a locally establish. Over the years that they have been operating, they have created a unique concept where Café by day, Bar by night .

During night, they have live band to add on the vibe of a little music cafe/bar where service is also different. They do have a service floor staff to take order at your table instead of self service concept in the morning.

For Coffee lovers, you get to choose 3 different types of beans, from Medium Roast, Dark Roast And Darkest Roast. 

Lots of magazine for you to flip through

Like any other fast coffee chain, self service counter with all the sugars and syrup is at the side and they do have merchandise for you to hunt for too.

For coffee on that day, we tried Latte Medium Roast @ RM 13.50, Dark Roast and Darkest roast along with Mocha and Chai Latte. To my suprise, their coffee is actually good where I love their Medium roast with mild hint of bitterness and sour at the end is what I prefer. Heavy coffee drinker or taste bud, Darkest roast would be your ideal. I would rate their Chai Latte @ RM 15.50  is more like a entry level, with mild hint of spice yet it is very smooth to drink.

I think their Ice Chocolate @ RM 16.50 blend beats many cafe out there with strong taste of chocolate and well balance.

To me, this is one of the star drink in the outlet. Icy Fruit Beer is so refreshing that it is quite similiar to those that I drink in one of a night market in Bangkok. It is a well balance of taste of fruit that gives you the sweetness in the blend of beer. A great thirst quencher. RM15

One of a newer item in their list is this soft fluffy pillow buns. Among the two, I prefer Grilled Chicken. Marinated well and love the sauce. Others love their Crispy Chicken with their special home made sauce. Pair it with Icy Fruit Beer, is just perfect. RM 13.50

Croissant sandwich is one of their best seller in the morning, either Scramble Egg or Tuna.

When it hit lunch time, Nasi Lemak is one of their star where chicken is fried to perfection where the skin is crispy and best of all, their sambal do not look only in fiery red, it is indeed spicy enough to make you sweat and go numb.

This is something new to me where Spicy Seafood Aglio Olio serve in special bread. Pan Fried Spaghetti with house chicken broth, olive oil, garlic, mushrooms, herbs, chili padi, shrimp, squid and light parmesan cheese @ RM 21.90

Tom Yum Seafood Spaghetti @ RM 17.90 is new in the menu, Pan Fried Tom yum Spaghetti with olive oil, straw mushrooms, herbs, chill padi, shrimp and squid.

Of course to tried out their well known Belgian Liege Waffles, starting off with original, with Haagen Dazs ice cream is top with Crushed Cookies, Chocolate Syrup & Whipped Cream.

Among the four, I love their Original where I like the taste of little sugary and slight crips on the outside yet it is slightly chewy in the middle. The rest might be a little too sweet for me.

their Best Seller – Crushed Cookies with Haagen Dazs ice Cream @ RM19.55

Good news is to all my readers, you get to buy their Pillow Bao for Buy 1 Free 1 just by downloading the coupon or flash the visual to their cashier through my blog. If you are here between 9pm to 11pm, you also get to order their freezing cold beer @ ONLY RM7.50.

The name itself – The Forking Cork is indeed cheeky and considered one of a hidden gem in OUG where they are actually a wine and whisky bar. Perfect for some of you that love to hang out some where nearby and need not drive all the way to KL to enjoy your alcohol intake.

A simple place that have wide range of wine for you to choose and some other whisky choices.

Simple decor with some barrels base of a table, sofa seating area or normal dining seating settings is great for your choices on what kind of settings you are keen to park at.

They do not have a wine list for you as you need to walk into their trespassers zone, upon opening the door, you will be greeted with wide range of wine selection that sitting nicely at those shelves.

Wine range is as cheap from RM 99 – RM xx,xxx, depending on your own preference.

food range is very direct where only have 2 -4 pages for you to flip on.

Ordered Spaghetti Carbonara, is something very simple, delicious where it is creamy enough to my liking.

Lamb Chop is grilled to perfection where the sauce is just nice, yet not overpowering.

salmon is cook to perfection where you can still see the mild pink colour on the meat. Season with nice crumbs and their sauce is the one that to hunt for. 

Chicken Teriyaki is one of a easier dish for food pair, that can always go along with beer or whisky. 

I love my fried chicken to at least fried for another mininute to make it gold group then dip with their sauce is just a great combination. Sauce is little like mustard, creamy and with a hint of honey .

The Usual that I would not miss is any type of chicken wings. 

WE had a great night, with 2 bottles of wine for 5 pax. We did not overkill ourselves and a great place to hang out.

Read Vkeong’s review for his recommendation on Hong Kong noodle that located at one of my favorite kopitiam that previously known as Ho Ho Sek at Chow Yang, SS2 which now had changed hands to Restaurant WDS. Hosting back many of previous hawker stall and one new player that stood more prominent that the others is this Hong Kong Wantan Noodle (香港鲜虾皇) .

The main chef, Vincent used to work in a famous local HK restaurant chain before he decided to venture out on his own. You will get to see him at the stall as he is the main person that prepares you all the ingredients.

Restaurant WDS not only host one stall as they have many variety of stall for you to hunt for, especially right the furthest behind, there is this one stall is well known for their Sang Har Mee which you can see many people order or their Cantonese Ying Yeong.

If you come here during 12pm-2pm, do expect a mad rush of table hunting. This is when all the workers of offices nearby are here to hunt for their favourite.

Their Kopi Kau indeed is a coffee to go after. Pack with local coffee flavor and thick. (only Kauz)

Popiah is decent enough.

Char Koey Teow is one of the well known one in the coffee shop where you can see alot of old folks are ordering it. Indeed its a great plate of CKT where filled with wok hei and decent big prawns and alot of cockles. @ RM 8

Here comes the WanTon noodle where we ordered both dry and soup (where it is the recommended ones) . Love the texture of noodle where it is springy to my liking and also found out that the noodle used here is made according to their specification with 100% duck egg only, which explains the naturally occurring yellow than usual color and do not have ‘kansui’ taste. Add on their char siew for my usual order and it is not the best but good enough for my noodle.

Find that their soup base is good enough where it is pack with clear soup flavour as it need.

Love their Wonton, as it is big enough and generous in ingredients also have a decent size prawn in it. 

Last we ordered a Curry Mee end our meal, where the look is quite lemak in curry and pack with curry leaves flavour. Top with alot of cockles.

After took over by the new owner, this kopitiam or coffeeshop still have its vibe with many good hawker stalls. Still one of a good hawker center to come after!

Ah Hee Claypot Chicken Rice is another piece of hidden gem at Jalan Alor. My ex colleague introduce this place to me as this is one of their favourite stall. Was told that ah Hee is an old player in this area as he had been preparing Claypot Chicken rice for over 30 years and there are no successor after him. Currently only he and his wife is operating this little stall and do have patient if on that day is too pack with hungry diners.

Love their salted veggie soup as it gives you a very homecook taste. Sourish enough, yet clear to give you hint of sourish, sweetness of chicken meat that makes it a good pairing with their clay-pot chicken rice.

It is a simple street dish that takes about 15 minutes to cook to perfection where Ah Hee topped it with generous of larp cheong (Chinese Sausage), chicken meat which is tender and juicy, with a little hint of fragrant burn soy smell when it served. Loving it as, this gives you a very simple street dish that is not overpowering.

If you love something classic, this is one of the place to hunt for.

Restoran Win Heng Seng (永兴城茶室) at Jalan Imbi used to be one of my favourite kopitiam. It has been long time since I last visited this place as I brought my parents to come again during Raya and guess what, This kopitiam is a warzone. Little did I know that they are now so famous that most of the tourist from others states are all in this place. Imagine that.

In this coffee shop, I have 2 of my favourite stalls are here which is this Instant cook Pork Noodle (which is quite similar to Penang) and another classic pork noodle which is well known for their sausage base.

This is another famous Pork Noodle stall with average waiting time on that day was 45 minutes, which marks them pretty crazy.

For this bowl of noodle, alot of diners would order dry as that is their signature as they will serve another small bowl of ingredients that filled with pork balls and sausage.

This is the classic instant cook Pork Noodle that include many pork spare part to cook along. It used to be one of my all time favourite as their pork broth they cook for a few hours to use it as the soup base to cook on the noodle. I guess on that day, they are too busy as customors keep pouring in like crazy. I guess their QC also went off. Average waiting time for this on that day was also 45 minutes.

While waiting for the main item to come, I try on a few new players is the Sarawak Kolo Noodle. It taste quite off the mark from my understanding and you can forget ordering it.

Wat Attracted me to order the wonton noodle is the chef that preparing it was professionally dress up with chef uniform in a kopitiam environment is pretty interesting. Noodles turn out to be not bad as Char Siew if he could improve more, he would enjoy even better exposure.

Wonton is fresh where mince meat and other ingredients is nice and soup broth is just nice yet not overpowering.

This kopitiam now had become commercialise  already but as on weekdays, it is also a warzone where most of all the office workers around the area will flock into this place. NO doubht that this kopitiam have alot of offerings for anything within 5-10 minutes walk from both either Times Square or Bukit Bintang.

TOKB Cafe is also known as Taste of Kota Bahru that serve Kelantanese food. This also mark them as  Malaysia’s First Military Theme Cafe that located at Section 13.

There is a story to support this strong unique concept of this cafe. The story beings all the way back in December 1941, Kota Bahru was invaded by the Japanese. The infamous Pearl Harbour took place 70 minutes later, and World War II was then declared. One of the Director’s father went through the whole experience of World War II, hence this cafe was assemble to make it a memorable piece for them. Most of the items you see in the cafe are real artifacts or items that is from the owner.

Items especially at their Mezzanine floor, from newspaper piece, to military medals, helmets, bags and many others are being displayed.

Even the bikes are real, where it can still be started and works well.

The look and feel of World War II during Japanese Invasion.

Their menu design is also impressive.

Hail Chef Kak Ma by taking steps to close her little ‘warung’ in Kelantan by embarking this new adventure with founders of TOKB Bernard and Lucas to make this place serving an authentic recipe from her ancestors to all of us in Klang Valley.

With a few drinks to offer, Teh Atom @ RM 9.50 is the main items in the drinks section to order. Served in a huge bubble foam that over flow and suprisingly it sticks very well onto the cup that it doesn’t ooze down all the way to bottom. The little trick to this is that they add honey into it and as you lick the foam, it indeed taste like honey with hint of teh ais behind. It is bigger than the normal glass we usually drink.

Below is also another signature drink.

I find that their dishes name is very creative as this Nasi Rocket @ RM 17.90, it does not make you fly sky. However, it is known as Nasi Tumpang, with Nasi Rocket is a modernise word for it. Nasi Rocket came about when back in the old days, for all take away they did not pack dishes in seperate packet, as they pack it in 3 layers that gives you 3 different taste and wrap it for their lunch. As for this, it is filled with serunding beef/fish,  rice and gulai ikan tongkol. For TOKB, they served it with keropok and fried chicken.

For classic dish that you would want to pair with other sides, you can try out their Nasi Dagang as the plain base of rice which is very aromatic, yet with a hint of coconut taste with side acar and keropok, then pick one of the side dish in ala cart to pair along.

You can choose from Ayam Masak Merah @ RM 11.90, Ayam Goreng Kampung @ RM 12.90, Ikan Keli Paprik @ RM 12.90, Ayam Goreng Berempah @ RM11.90, Ikan Patin Masak Tempoyak @ RM16.90 and Gulai Usang @ RM14.90.

One of the classic dish is Laksam @ RM13.90. For this dish, not many people would enjoy it as it is filled with lemang base which is like steam stick rice, filled with aromatic soup base, topped with some finely slice cabbage and bunga kesom. For this dish, either you like it or you dislike it.

Keropok Lekor is fried to perfection where it is chewy, yet you can still taste aromatic of fish taste. Remember to dip with their spicy chili sauce.

Among all the dish, this is their super star. Nasi Kerabu Signature @ RM 17.90

Original way to eat this is by mixing all the ingredients together and remember to add in both of the chilli serve to give you the spiciness in it. Do take note that their lighter colour chilli sauce is quite spicy. Add bit by bit to adjust on your spicy level. After mixing the whole dish, you will get to taste a nice fragrant from rice, herbs, fish and crispy keropok in every bite.

This is not our usual toast. The name Roti C4 @ RM 7.90 will give you a bomb in your  mouth. Just joking. To me, C4 would be the thick, rich and creamy kaya that will add onto your taste bud. If you eat the kaya raw you will find it quite sweet. After mixing it with yolk, kaya and the toast, it actually gives you a very interesting nice taste. Worth to give it a try.

For this outlet, what is worth to order starts with these basic: Nasi Kerabu, C4 Toast & Atom Teh Ice. Besdies that you can get their loyalty card which is very intersting that is customise for you in dog tag. They go by tier spending starting off with 10% that will eventually end at 22% if you are promoted to General.

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.

It is hard for you to miss them as, all the trees are lighted up and you can see a sea of red tables.

One of their well known item is Rojak, but I find it not bad as I had better peanut gravy before but at this supper hour, they are consider decent enough.

Because of demand, most of their chicken are freshly fried.

My usual would be their Nasi Lemak + Mata Kerbau + fried drumstick @ RM 8.50

Rice is mild fragrant, where it is just nice for night palate, and their chicken is perfecttly cook where skin is crispy, meat is well marinated with some spices taste in it. Best of all is their sambal – slightly sweet and spicy end. Their sambal here is like a luxury item. Any additional add on, they always give you a very small plate that I ended up asked a 3-4 rounds. Constantly got the cockstare! Trick to go around is to ask for different macha.

This is my new discovery as, there is this fried radish or known as carrot cake food truck which sits just a few steps away from their stall and right at the traffic light corner. The way he fried and the colour of it looks decent.

For a Rm 4.50 plate of fried carrot cake, this is certainly emerge one of the best in my list to try for. Filled with woke hei, and each piece of the fried carrot cake is fried evenly that have a little cripsy edge on it. Dip with his homecook chili is a bomb. This stall certainly mark as one of a recommended place! Best of all, its just next to the nasi lemak.

Its a great place to dine for where I can enjoy two items at one place.

Back to basic, where this was a random hunt that I brought my ex colleague back to a place that I constantly used to crave for my fried fritters or this famous Goreng Pisang. This little food truck that sits right infront of Pelita SS2, is one one of a stall that you would love to hunt for simple snacks. Being around for quite a while and now her son is assisting in continuing the business.

Constantly pack with people, where queue were rather fast, as 2 auntie are taking care on their own station to serve customers. Price per piece is ranging from RM 0.50 – RM 2

These are all classic snacks that I used to eat alot when I was at Penang and its hard to find a nice stall in KL. I find this quite suitable to my liking.

I love this alot, as this homemade potato kuih have the nice fragrant that I used to miss. Soft and aromatic.

What to hunt for in this stall is their usual fried banana fritters, their potato kuih, Kuih kodok, and any of your favourite that you can just pick from the basket.

*Might not be non halal – as what I used to hear from my friend, they add some pork oil.

This is one of a place that had been making waves over online platform. With their price tag and long queue that had made them the famous pork ribs located in OUG. Down to Bones is a POP up store which is operated by a young group of people as part time that operates over weekend only.

I was told to come here as early as 6pm to get your queuing number. What do you need to do when you arrive:

1. Hunt for a table and let them know where you are seated.
2. You can seat any where in between all the tables located at the road side or in both ends of coffee shop.
3. Wait patiently as it will take at least 45 minutes – 75 minutes for your food to arrive
4. 6pm-7pm is only for ordering period where food will only be serve after 7pm.
5. They will not serve you your food if you do not have a seated table with a proper number
6. Do order all your orders at one go. If you decided to add on order 15 minutes later, means your latest order will be in a new queue instead of your previous order queue.

Decently price menu for a POP up Store.

We thought that Mash & Dog is something different for sides, and when it is served, it is actually a side dish which is similiar to all your main course. The only difference is they add on 3 sausage. @ RM 5 – You can skip this unless your kids love it.

Porky Soup is pretty unique, where it does live up the expectation of Porky the name where soup have very strong taste and smell of unwash pork meat. My friend could not stand the smell of it and only had a sip and shifted the whole bowl infront of me. Funny thing is, it had a very mild herb after taste (which I might be wrong). Pork cubes in it sure taste different. It is your choice for a bowl of RM 7. Would not be part of my recommendations. 

Lamb Chop at RM 16. I would only say I had better ones before at lower price.

Their Pork Ribs @ RM 18 is indeed the main highlight where the name down to bones meant. However there is a little inconsistency in size of serving.

Their main highlight is this pork ribs wins in marination. Fragrant, with a mild punch sour bitterness and sticky. However the marination did not sip through the meat. It is slightly dry inside. For RM 18, there is no complain on it.

Will I go back, again. 95% no unless being force to accompany friends. For a wait of 1 hour for my food to be serve, I think a nice bbq at home would make it up.

However there are some good feed backs that was given from the diners to the owners. So it is up to your personal taste bud.

Xiao Lao Wang Hotpot had relocate to a new home at The School by Jaya One where previously they operated at Sungai Buloh and Uptown Damansara. This new location not only house Xiao Lau Wang Hotpot, as the group owners have decided to house another 2 more brands under one roof, bringing along Bay 31 and Lameeya.

Love their new design for this outlet that bring classic to modern environment with minimalist.

One of their private dining area.

Lets kick start with Bay 31 as it is a new born concept from this group where coffee and tea is their highlight. Will soon bringing you some breakfast classic toast set. My personal favorite is their Royal Milk Tea Cold @ RM6,  Imperial Coffee @ RM 6.50 which is a special blend Arabica Coffee Beans instead of coffee powder from a typical kopiiam and of course their Lime Lime Juice @ RM5. One of a great drink for thirst quenching and also goes well with steamboat.

Hainan Chicken Chop with mashed potato @ RM14.80 will get you some classic Hainanese pork chop

Handmade Thin Bamboo Egg Noodle @ RM8.90 (Medium)

This is one of a heart stealer where the egg noodles were really springy. Meat marination gives a nice decent mouthful of flavour with their sauce and do add in their home made chilli to give you an extra kick. However some food lovers might find it sauce is too thick. We are good with it.

Handmade Bamboo Egg Noodle with Sesame Sauce (Cold) @ RM9.90

This is a Chinese version of cold soba. First time having this as the cold egg noodle is placed on top of an ice bath to keep it cold enough. You can either pick the noodle dip onto the bowl for the seasome dressing or pour it on top and mix it all.

changed of location did not change their menu. Their menu still offer the same variety as they used to be and now they have added one more signature soup base.

Under Xiao Lau Wang Hotpot, their condiments still remains no.1 that offers steamboat lovers with lots of condiments and you are free to mix any of the flavour at your own liking.

Pickled Cabbage Pork Belly Soup is their latest eddtion of soup base and it is my personal recommendation if you love sour vegetable soup base. @ RM48.90  It is a cabbage that had added salt and to pickle the cabbage (for 1 month) in a tight container huge glass jug. Love the soup aroma as it give you the hint of sour vegetable soup, wit mild hint of saltiness yet mix along with long hours of cooking pure pork bone broth, gives you a nice balance of aroma and taste in the soup.

It is advisable to add one time of another round of soup. When it hits third round, the soup will be diluted or left only with pork bone base soup. You can order add on for the pickled cabbage to add on, as what we did below.

We did order fresh fish and were advise to add in the fish head into the soup to cook along, to add in the sweetness of fresh fish head in it.

As some of our friends do not like pickled cabbage, so we oredered another pot which is their signature Pork Stomach Chicken soup @ RM42.90. Punch with flavour, as the soup base clarity is nil. Hint of pepper and love the aroma of sweet pork bone in it. Classic and good.

There are some fresh seafood for you to choose from as live red snapper @ RM7/100g is worth to consider to order. They will fried the fish head for you and can either eat it or add it into the soup as we do. Fish meat indeed its fresh.

If you are out of idea to order, they do have sets menu for you to pick from as it ranges from RM50.90 to RM60.90 (one of the sets as above that comes with fresh Tiger Prawns)

.

I had a better versions before, however their HKG Bean Curd Roll @ RM13.90 is quite simliar to local favourites. Just dip this peices 3-6 secondes depending on the types of softness you like. Best to start off with 3 seconds first.

This is my version of sauce that I have created, sorry I do not have recipe for this as I created base on my own preference.

Other ingredients that is worth to order, such as their layered tofu, fresh pork balls, fish balls or even their Sanbanto Berkshire Pork Belly (Small – RM16.90 / Large – RM28.90)

This is one of a decent place for hotpot especially their soup base.

There is this one particular shop that hidden in this Pandamaran neighborhood, is well known for their famous Roti Canai in Klang. A typical Malaysian comfort food. Restaurant I.V is one of a place that is highly recommended by my friend Ken for their amazing simple dish and we drove all the way to find out.

As you step into the outlet, you will be amaze on that they are operating 3 shoplot and huge crowd is flocking into this quiet place.

This is the first time  I am seeing this as they are operating with 3 Roti Canai Stove to cater for this huge crowd. Just imagine that.

If you are into rice, then this would be an option for you.

to get a seat here is pretty fast as the turnover per table and service is fast.

This is what everyone is ordering. Just a pack of Nasi Lemak and 2 pieces of roti canai.

It is always that the simplest food is the hardest to make. Indeed their Roti Canai is cripy on the outside as my liking, yet soft inside. A great breakfast comfort food.

My preferred pairing gravy is their homemade spicy sambal mix with dal curry.

Nasi lemak is great stuff too. A simple pack of  nasi lemak that is filled with alot of samble, fragrant mild santan rice is a must to have too.

No doubt this place is awesome.
