海南生滾粥 Hainanese Congee in Chow Kit Market is one of the classic street food in KL that you can get. Believe it is going to be last of its kind. Being Hainaese myself, little did I know that there is actually a Hainanese Congee. There is only a slight difference of classic congee vs Hainanese Congee.

This uncle is already 80 years old as I saw in Jason food Trail Video. Famous for his recipe, along with his passion of cooking the porridge fresh daily to sell in this community. He lives just a stone throw away in this building. According to the uncle, there is no one learning this and he will be the last serving this in this area. I am not too sure is there any other Hainanese Congee out there.

Price still remain low in this area as the community in this place are low income earners.

Ingredient are prepare fresh before cooking and each bowl are cook individually upon order.

We order his signature Mix Pork Congee at RM 6 large as for us to share and Fish Congee @ RM 6. Love the onion oil and with pork lard that makes it very fragrant.

Mix Pork Congee is silky smooth, and pippin hot. Mince pork are well marinated and just a perfect bowl for breakfast.

We had fish congee and love the fish slices. Smooth like the congee. It was so good that we order another bowl that is with extra ingredient. Best of all also the stall opposite sells fresh Yau Char Guai. Best to pair it along.

There are actually 3 stalls in this building that you must eat along. One is below, Hakka Nasi Lemak which is also no one will be taking over once the uncle retire.

There are 3 stalls to eat if you are hunting food in this area. One of them is this famous Fish Ball Noodle in Chow Kit Pasar. Located just a stone throw away from the Hakka Nasi Lemak, you will see another stall which is pack with people after 9.30am.

As the stall located in this area, pricing of food remains low.

Operate by this old auntie and family members, as it was a pass down from their husband.

Love the atmosphere of this place as they always quarrel. This is the classic style of family run hawker. Do be patient as the auntie cook slightly slower than usual as she is the one that taking care of all stations.

this is what they are famous for. Fish ball made fresh daily that is hand beaten in the morning and made with fresh fish. Love the bounciness of fish ball and slightly chewy and airy in it.

Try they dry noodle as it is nothing to shout about.

Famous among the crowd is the soup version. They add in with the home made chili to enhance on the taste of thes soup. Add accordingly to your liking as the chili do change the soup base.

The fish ball is good that we order extra bowl just to go along. We also notice that the yellow noodle use is slightly different than others as it is slightly thicker and more chewy. A nice good bite on the noodle.

Add fish ball if you are a fish ball lover.

Seafood Pork Noodles at Taman OUG in this Sun Sea Kopitiam will be one of the busiest stall in the shop. There are 2 person cooking and bowls staking high up with waiting time average 45 minutes on weekend. This is one of a famous pork noodle in this OUG neighborhood that had been operating for ages.

Been here many times and they do have another outlet that operating at night which is just 3 minutes away at Hong Cha Kopitiam nearby BP station.

Usually I order my pork noodle or seafood pork noodle in soup version. Since  my friend asked me to try their dry Seafood Noodle, taste much better because of the separation of soup. My usual will be Koey Teow and noodle mix.

They have onsen egg in it too that is cook to perfection that one poke you will enjoy runny yolk. Generous ingredients in it too. With mince meat, and other pig spare park to my liking. As for Seafood they do have mini squid, and prawns in it.

This is the soup version of Seafood noodle. Personally I still like my soup base as I am  used to it. The difeference for the dry version is that they add in their own thick soy sauce, into the noodle and give you the taste of sweet salty end. Soup is pack with flavours as it is on slightly on the mild side. I prefer my bowl of soup to be more punch with porkie ingredient taste.

It is not too bad for breakfast.

Lammeeya had been establish as one of a household name in KL many years back or even when I was in college time. When comes to KL version Lam Mee, I thought of them. Now, they have new menu that rolling out and also introducing some new home-cook food style with super food of healthy vegetable that they specifically pick from a farm. Curry Fish head being one of the latest signature.

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.

Best of all, can convert into mini steamboat after you are done. So it is kinda 2 in 1 pot. (scroll down for more)

Very fresh fish that they are using and easily about 6 pieces.

This is their super food Bio-Dynamic Vegetable – Pea Sprout with Egg @ RM 16.90. A simple dish that pack with flavour to my liking. Vegetable certainly taste different from what we always have. Texture and taste is also diff itself. – recommended

Even their Four Season Bean with Chinese Olive does not taste bitter like what I usually have. Freshness of it and a little hint of sweetness at the end is quite unique. @ RM 15.90

Ginger Wine Omelette is one of my fvourite simple dish from this outlet. A dish that I would always order.

Onion Oil Tofu is steam, drench with their own special soy sauce and best of all with pork lard. Yumz!

When we are done with the curry, we convert it into a mini steamboat by ordering extra steamboat ingredient. They add in their house signature broth and do be aware that the soup is unlimited refill, however not the Curry in the claypot. The more you add, the flavour will be diluted.

House special mix pork ball.

Crispy fried fish skin

E-noodle

Hong Kong style bean curd

We are all quite satisfied after with curry fish head and with mini steamboat to end the meal.

After heavy drinking a night before, on the  next day, Foo Hing Dim Sum is one of the recommendation to hunt for dimsum. Apparently that, my friend, May told me Fong Hing Dim Sum is her favourite place for dim sum and currently one of the famous dim sum place in Bandar Puteri,Puchong.

I am surprise on the place is pack with people and to take number to queue for a table.

There are tons of tarts and only was told they are very famous for their Portuguese egg tart.

Menu seems very direct and simple and felt that there are limited choices.

Best of all is that the server will still bring a tray of items for you to choose, instead of the typical cart moving around. Still alright as it is definitely much better than self service.

This is Foo Hing’s signature Macau style Portuguese egg tarts @ RM2.50 per piece. Look at the texture and crust at the side that you can still see layers of crips. Soft and fragrant in the middle and it is worth to take away. A dessert must have after your dim sum – Recommended! 

The rest are not too bad as their chicken feet is good, pack with flavour and soft to my liking, Siew mai, pai kuat, xiao long bao is good.

Not a big fan of this but the crust do have buttery taste which is not too bad. Char siew filling in there is slightly dry for me.

Not the best dim sum place as my expectation kinda different but then overall it is a place that can pay a visit as the pricing is affordable, not over price and ingredient seems decent. Will I be back? I dont mind to come back again.

I still remember till today that my first Hokkien Mee in KL was a shocking moment for me with a twist and quarrel with the hawker worker. Hokkien mee in KL is very different from the ones in Penang. Ah Yap Hokkien Mee in Sentul was introduce by a friend that I should give here a try. Apparently this place been operating more than 40 years and from their regular to seem them bringing their customer grandson.

Menu is quite extensive as they do have other stir fried dishes. Love the decor of this place as it seems alot of antique to look at. The server which is a old uncle happily explain to me as he had been there for a few moons already.

Some of the antiques are as old as Qing Dynasty. From the table, stool, delivery lunch box, old ginseng and many others.

The signature here is their Hokkien Noodle. A style of their own. Topped with loads for pork lard to my liking. It is fresh and crispy. The after taste also quite different as the sauce is slightly more thick, flavourful and pack with wok hei.

Not your usual noodle texture as I find this slightly more chewy or springy to my liking.

This is one of the item must have as I find that the Stir Fried lala is very interesting. Not only it is good but unique with its own taste. You get to taste hint of the chili powder, fragrant mild taste of lime after you squeeze on top of it. Didnt overcook too. Perfect as it is! Squeeze of the lime do really give a slight acidic it needs to balance freshness of it off.

find that the Hokkien mee is not bad and I came back a few rounds after that. Worth to give it a try.

I was introduce by my friend that the original Seni Sattisorru Claypot Curry Rice is hidden inside Brickfields. The heart of Little India in KL. He mention that, currently this is one of his favourite place for this Indian Curry Claypot rice that brings a satisfactory kick to him.

A place which is rather newly operated which is about 9 months old and did ask the owner on the other outlet mention by other media platform. He mention that that is sort of like another branch but authenticity still remains here as he is the founding person.

by Looking at their cooking method and ingredients prepare at the side, I am pretty sure that I am going to enjoy this dish. Easily there are 15 types of ingredient including spices in this table.

you get to choose what type of meat you prefer as their main are Chicken, Mutton, Fish, Vegetarian and others.

Look at the thick curries.

We order both Chicken and mutton to try it out and I find that mutton is the best option. Love the small pieces chunks which is just nice to bite on each spoonfull. Love the curry spices mild after taste of it as it is pretty fragrant. One thing is lacking is the spiciness. Just of hint of it at the moment.

very interesting too. Maybe also I associate to Chinese type of claypot rice where I do expect some burnt edges at the bottom. Wondering how would it taste like if a burnt curry. Could it be more fragrant?

certainly would not mind to go back again and next round would go back by ordering a side mutton curry too. Just by looking at the fiery red colour and the smell of fragrant spices poke through my nose makes me drool.

Worth to come a try as it starts from RM 8 onwards. They are operating in this Foodcourt in Brickfields.

Looking for a good classic Chinese restaurant in KL? Look no further for this legendary Sek Yuen Restaurant that had been operating in Jalan Pudu for decades. Residing in this old classic stand alone shoplot that is brightly lit with 70’s neon like as the building outline is making a huge bee line during Chinese New Year.

They are also well known for their dai chow with old classic taste that is mostly run by old folks of family members.

there is no bookings allowed as they only encourage walk in. I was there last year for the first time to enjoy lou sang. I was told that the history of Lou Sang, they were the first to create this trend out, or they are the founder of Lou Sang Tradition.

Ingredients of lou sang in here are all made from scracth and fresh. Therefore during CNY and if you are here, it is a must order dish.

A perfect place for gathering that is transporting you back to the 80’s, with all the wooden frame windows and classic pictures of the restaurant.

they do not really use salmon as they use other types of fishes, marinate with ginger and their own special oil.

this is their signature lou sang.

Love the texture of lou sang, as it taste fresh and crunchy. Every bite is with crunch. Sauce is filled with light sweet, sour and hint of bitterness to make it a great dish.

When you are in classic restaurant, we order back all the classic dishes such as Sweet and Sour Pork.

Deep Fried Pork Ball is one of their signature dish. Wrap with fresh popiah skin, pack with punch and every bite is filled with meat. Those who love mince pork like me, then would be a great dish. Slightly crisp on the outside too.

Was told this is one of their signature vegetable with homemade fish ball. Quite a unique vegetable that is very crunchy and fish ball is bouncy yet not too dense.

If you remember your classic food, this is one of the dish that MUST ORDER. Stir Fried Shark Fin with Egg. Generous amount of shark fin, egg fried to perfection and filled with wok hei and indeed a classic taste like when I ate it when I was a kid.

To eat this, you must take a spoonful of it and put it on a slice of cabbage. Then eat it together. Whoola. Perfect!

Stir fried beef with vegetable. Pretty good too.

We wanted to order duck as it is their legendary signature. It was sold out when we reach at 7pm, we will definitely go back again to try their other dishes. If I remember correctly, our dinner was about RM 55 per head for dishes above.

They have expended and have the non air condition seating area and air condition. We prefer the classic ambiance hence to sit at the non-air condition section.

Indeed one of a great classic dai chow in KL that gives you old classic taste. Went back a few times after CNY dinner last year and my dad loves it.

Restaurant Zim Sum in Penang is indeed a famous place for Dim Sum. I was told by my dad that they are the old operater that used to operate the kopitiam opposite KDU, over past 2 years they have move to this new premises and they are well known for cheap dim sum in Penang.

One good thing about this dim sum place is that they are pack with variety and I really mean lots of variety.

I remember that in KDU that time, their dim sum is indeed cheap, starting from RM 1. Now at this new premises, I could not recall the pricing as this was about 9 months ago when I visited this place. Will check it out and update when I am back.

In this restaurant, there are no push cart that is moving around. this is a self service dim sum place. What you need to do is bring your Dim sum Card and go to the counter which you want to get your dim sum and bring it back to your table.

They are separate into sections, from steam, stir fried, fried and paus.

If none of the items suits you, then you can look at their giant wall menu that is filled with stir fried noodles and others.

I order quite alot that my parents got shocked.

this is my order for 4 person.

Their Cantonese stir fried noodle not that fantastic.

Hong Kong Century Egg Porridge just so so as it is too thick to my liking.

So remember do pick your tray, queue and get your dim sum.

Before that, you need to equipped your niece, brother, sister, mother, grandmother to hog around all the tables as the tables are ‘JOM’ on first come first serve basis.

overall the food is just so so. Most of the people are here just for the quantity. Not the quality. If it hits long weekend, this place is like a warzone. Everything have to fight for it. Fight for table, fight for dim sum. Crazy!

For foreigners or travelers that visit Penang, this is one of the stop you would want to consider as local dining scene to enjoy the craziness of it.

I was introduce to this place by a friend of mine that this is one of their favourite place for Ipoh Chicken Rice known as Kar Heong Restaurant that located in SS14, Subang. Apparently they are a well known Ipoh Chicken Rice shop in SS14 as they had gain many followers over the years.

Parking is not that bad over the weekend as the shop is double frontage. You can access from the front or back.

So we ordered the usual. Steam white chicken, roast pork @ RM 8 (as it looks good on that day), Prawn Koay Teow wantan noodle soup @ RM 7.50 and a plate of veggie.

Their chili is good. Sourish enough that give you a slight punch of heat. Goes well with their chicken rice.

Roast pork is slightly above my expectation as the crust is crispy, salty enough to my liking and the fat are evenly spread out.

Kitchen Choice 2 pax chicken @ RM 12. Chicken is tender and juicy. I usually will use the soy sauce to drench on my plate. Love the slight aroma with the sesame and chicken oil.

Koey Teow is just as usual.

This place is not too bad if you are looking for a decent Ipoh chicken rice. I think it is worth to pay a visit at least once.

In KL we do not have the famous Funny Moutain Soya Bean from Ipoh, but we have this famous Kim Soya Bean at Petaling Street. I never knew about this stall till a few months ago. Usually I visited China Town at Petaling street during night time. Rarely would come during day time.

So for visitors to Petaling Street, this is one of a soya bean stall that you must stop by as usually it is flock by both locals and tourist. There is another drink stalls which is famous that I rarely miss is the famous ‘air mata kucing’ that just sits right opposite.

This stall had been operating for more than 30 years and currently is operating their secound generation – the son.

Family business both dad and son in action. Love my soya bean in white sugar and this is smooth and fragrant.

According to my friend, they are not only well known for their soya bean as their Taufufa is the signature of this stall. I have to second that in a way as rarely you get a smooth taufufa texture. Texture is fragrant just near melts in your mouth. I had 2 bowls.

I usually prefer my taufufa in black sugar. KL folks love their taufufa with ginger white sugar.

Do note that there are dispute within both stalls. Do ask do they serve it to the place where you are seated. If you are seated on another side zone of the other stall, you wont get your noodle as I was keen to try both. So I could not try both at the same time.

Seems like dining at Pokok cafe like the in trend. Pokok is located inside Mahsa University in PJ. The big hype on this cafe is that you are dining in a glass house. Therefore do prepare to get warm and enjoy some sun tanned while dining.

It depends on which table you are being seated as it could be very warm.

Ordering of food is at the counter and pay there.

Menu offering is pretty direct from local to western.

Since it is brunch, I tried their Avo Maverick, more like a vegetarian dish @ RM 18. Topped with poached egg, 2 slices of bread, sauteed mushroom with bed of veggies.

Since alot people order Nasi Lemak and was told Nasi lemak @ RM 18 here is good.

The chicken was under cook by 3-5 minutes then we request to changed. Understand they want to get the best texture out of it yet the meat on the bone still stuck on it yet with light blood.

coffee Latte is decent for RM 10 hot and RM 11 for cold.

Cafe food here is just normal, as I was told the food here is very good. Find that the food is bland and not as outstanding as was told by a few of my friends.

Will I be returning back? I guess there are much better cafe food for the price I am paying, as the only thing is dining in a glass house.

After saw Joshua posted this bowl of noodle in Facebook, quickly screen shot it then went to hunt over the weekend. Lee Fong Yuen 李芳园, is indeed a hidden gem tucked away in Taman Ehsan, Kepong which had been operating in this area for more than 30 years.

currently is helm by 2nd generation as the uncle in the picture is the founder manning the store and daughter is manning the coffee side. Most of the diners here are in for their signature Wan Tan Mee, but I am here for something else.

Their signature Teh Peng @ RM 2.50 is a must have. quite similiar to those good Hong Kong milk tea. Smooth yet not too sweet. Their Kopipeng is alright.

Their homemade chili paste is quite interesting. With hint of saltiness and mild spiciness with nice herb after taste (i could be wrong)

This is what i am here for. A classic Beef noodle @ RM 9. What attracted me to come all the way here is the colour of the soup.

Indeed a very unique bowl of Beef Noodle Soup. Thick and punch with flavour. It is just indeed very UMAMI! The meat soak well the flavour of the soup yet every bite is just satisfying. Beef meat is soft yet juicy and tendon is cook to perfection. Soft enough to give you a light chewy texture. White radish in it is heaven. Soak all the taste from the soup.

A good bowl of beef noodle should not miss out a bowl of beef balls. Chewy and bouncy. Love it. Those of you who love strong flavour profile, this is indeed a place that you should not miss. Strong in herb taste too.

Order both dry @ RM 8 and soup noodle. Soup noodle turns out to be better as dry noodle the cooking of the noodle is a bit miss. Quite over cook.

Enjoying every bit of it.

Will I be back? Definitely will be back. Will be in my recommended list too. Since the taste is quite different, that is not your usual beef noodle that you can find.

Price mention above are my estimation if I remember correctly. Cuz the price is quite reasonable.

Tai Buan Porridge 大满清香粥 at Lebuh Muntri unarguably serve one of the classic Teochew porridge in Penang. I have not been here for the longest time. Most of the time I do not get to enjoy this shop as they only operate on weekdays. Since it was Chinese New Year and I am sick, my parents brought me back here for simple classic comfort food.

Operating in heritage area, do prepare to fight with other patrons during peak hours.

Operate by both husband and wife, with a push cart inside the shop to add on the feel of eating on the street but in more comfort and cleaner environment. Selection of dishes is not huge, but these are their signature dishes. Ranging from their duck spare parts is a must have! Follow by tau kua, kiam chai (salted veggie), Choi Poh egg and cheong which is my personal favourite.

Dark soy sauce gravy with their special ingredient and herbs to make the gravy a perfect combination to be added into the porridge.

since we were late, there are not much choices of food left. So go with the usual side dishes.

My favourite Chai poh egg. A classic teo chew style where chai boh is slightly crispy and chewy in the middle, yet the egg is just fragrant and mild salty.

Their signature pork meat. Slightly soft and not too bad.

One of my favourite Pork intestine. Soft, juicy then top with salted veggie into the porridge is just perfect!

herb egg.

The most important bowl of the dishes. My grandma used to cook porridge in this texture as it is not easy to cook. Cook till the grain is 3/4 cook like it is going to be fully cook yet it must have a nice bite like cooked barley with its little soft texture. Water in porridge cant be too thick yet it is clear enough to make it a simple classic bowl of white porridge. Love it. Used to eat a bowl of white porridge when I was a kid with Chai Poh egg and homemade soy sauce. Just ass simple as that.

One of my favourite classic street food in Penang.

Whenver I am back to Penang, I will try to head over to BM Yam Rice 大山脚芋饭 at Bukit Mertajam, Penang as one of my favourite dining place. They have been operating this place for more than 30 years and it is a family run business. Over past 1 year, I saw this place had gaining tourist traction and might as well I start to blog about them.

What to have here? They are famous for Yam Rice or we call it “or pui” serve with a mix bowl spare part of pork. Inclusive blood, intestine, pork balls, pork slices, pork kidney and others. Each bowl are made upon order and currently, you will have to wait at least 30 – 45 minutes for your order. It used to be only 10-15 minutes.

One of their signature tofu. Just look at the colour and texture.

For yam rice, you get to enjoy the rice which is slightly dry, fragrant with soy sauce and fresh yam along with dry shrimps. Still using charcoal to cook, thats why the aroma is slightly different.

My usual for 1 pax. Cost about RM 15

Their special chili paste is a must dip.

There are quite number of Yam rice in BM however this taste slightly different with its salted veggie and broth. Give you a nice balance of both flavors yet the rice is not too salty from dry shrimp yet just compliments well.

Enjoying my pippin hot bowl of Yam rice and I think they are the best Yam Rice in Bukit Mertajam and maybe slowly making its mark in Best Yam Rice in Penang. There are afew also in Chai Leng Park. Apparently this place is also quite famous. Do give it a try at Raja Uda (click here)

However, for KL folks – dont be sad as they  have branch here too. In Publika non-halal food court is operate by one of their family members which I constantly go. Taste is quite similiar.

I also found out another outlet in Kepong that is also operating by one of their family members where the soup taste is more towards Salted veggie.

Last week, my friend send me a FB link that there is one Penang Mee Sotong that had been operating in SS14 Subang. So went to check him out. Seeni Special Mee Sotong indeed originated from Penang. He used to operate in Asia Cafe at Ayer Itam, Penang. He had been cooking his version of mee sotong for more than 10 years. So for regular folks in Penang that is looking for his Mee Goreng, now you have to drive all the way to KL to look for him as he no longer operates in Asia Cafe.

He had been moving locations since he was in KL over the past year. Currently, this is his latest location.

Cooked fresh sotong by batches daily with his special curry mix.

Fried individual plate per order. So do take some time to come up with your order.

Before serving, topped with a spoonful of squid and its special sauce to drench the fried noodle .

Before eating, remember to squeeze the lime given to give some hint of sourness in it. That is to open up a slight aroma from the squid.

Bon Apetite. as I order mine Mee Goreng Special @ RM 8. I have no idea what is the difference between the normal mee sotong @ RM 7. Will try again next round.

Do note that there are variety version of Penang Mee Sotong. This version is slightly dryer but is still one of the style.

Mee is slightly dyer compare to others, but topped with sotong, brings up the flavour if you mix everything well. I order mine extra spicy and the taste is just right to my liking. Comparing with the normal spicy, mine taste much better.

I would want to add extra sotong for my next visit. Slightly chewy and soft, curry spices is just right fragrant.

Is this the best Penang mee gorong in KL? I believe so at the moment. If compare to local KL mee gorong, this flair slightly better, as I have not eaten any nice mee goreng yet. Perhaps some of you can recommend me then I could go check it out.

After finish here, hapilly walk across to enjoy my nasi lemak fried chicken. This is 2 different stall. Chicken from the economy rice, the mutton curry and veggie is from the stall used to be Lim’s fried chicken. I am not too sure is it still the same stall but taste still the same which I believe it is the same. Still one of the place for best food in Subang in my list.

So yah, Penang folks now can have some joy as this stall gives you the slight Penang taste. The choices which is better when “no choice punya choice”

Recently, one of my Penang friend came down and we arrange a gathering. Instead of heading to our usual favourite Taiwanese Steamboat place, Gods Kitchen @ Publika, we decided to try this place out. The HOTpot in Publika because they do serve vegetarian soup (Miso Soup base) as one of our friend is vegetarian.

As walk into the place, it is an interior that is rather simple and direct. With a few tables in place, it is best advise to make a reservation.

Looking at the menu, it is slightly expensive. (maybe because they are in Publika)

Order the double soup base @ RM 38 with any mix of 2 flavours. We chose Malat and their original pork bone soup. As they are Hong Kong Steamboat, taste certainly is slightly milder but the taste of both soup is quite flat.

Ingredient is pretty direct and simple. The ball series ranges from RM 10 – RM 25. Lotus root is a rip off as serve with the illusion looks like a full slice but it is only half. Estimated about 5-7 slices for RM 8. 

Cheese Fu chuk @ RM 12. Does not make sense to me as the cheese fu chuk went into the pot and its all gone. Mostly left fu chuk. Maybe we did the wrong way.

ma lat is not spicy or herby in taste. This soup base is out for us (or could be good for first timer or those who cant take spicy) Pork bone soup is just normal.

Overall, food is so so, nothing to shout about as it is quite expensive from the ingredient we choose. Worst of all, the set back as below:

1. service were messy as there are only 2 floor staff. Told them to serve the order according to table but came out random
2. Serving us the food that we did not order, told them to bring it back.
3. Charge us the food that the order did not arrive where the waitress said is in their output order receipt.
4. Charge us extra 4 glass of green tea which we only of 9 pax order 7 glass only and each glass of green tea is RM 8, that is additional RM 32++ extra

Just imagine that if you did not check the receipt, you would have been blindly paid extra. My bill came about from RM 580 down to RM 520 which is about near RM 60 per head. Hence Fei Fan Hotpot / Taiwanese Gods pot Hotpot beats this place easily.

the place is actually not bad. and my ratings is actually to give 6/10. With the 4 set backs, the ratings for this outlet will get only 4/10

I am not the right target market for this place.

Super Ramen by rudifook in Sri Petaling is one of a local fusion ramen that is gaining its popularity. From the team of Rudifook previously did make an atas Wan Tan Mee at Kota Damansara as now they have spread their wings into another food catagory.

with their latest concept, you can enjoy a bowl of pippin hot ramen with a glass of cocktail. Love the ambiance, which is chic and modern. Their service is kinda off interesting, where upon your arrival, if there are tables are not ready, you will be ask to seat around the bar area then they will set up the table for you.

try out their Kimchi Ramen. Pork broth is not to bad as it has some unique flavour. Kimchi is not that prominent and not my kind of taste. The onsen egg cook to perfection. Just lack of the slightly brown colour as it does look pale and the flavour of the egg is missing. It could be perhaps their own style. Noodle texture is alright ‘lah’

Do not know what to order, so order this instead. King of Pork Chop Ramen @ RM 26.80 . Serve along with quite huge pork piece. As big as near my friends face. Pork is cook to perfection, however lacking of flavour profile. Broth to me is rather pale and nothing to shout about. Looking for a bargain bowl hunter, then this could be one of your option.

Overall, I find this shop nothing to shout about, as social media did build my expectation up. Hence visiting with a certain expectation is bad. Maybe will give them another chance few months later. Believe there are a lot better ramen in KL over this. (but again, it is fusion – so cant expect much)

They still do have their own regular as this place not really my kind of thing. It could be your taste too.

Was told Jalan Ipoh is pack with food. Slowly discovering this area as my office is just around the area. One of a stall that was introduce by my colleague is this famous Jalan Ipoh Curry Mee at Taman Million. Only operate right after 7.30pm, you will see the stall is flock by their regulars. The stall had been operating more than 15 years and still growing strong.

Not easy for you to find this stall as you could easily miss it as they operate infront of a shop lot and also in a small row of a food strand in the middle of the road.

They sell a few fried and soup items only.

their gandum, not too bad, slightly sticky. RM 1.50

This is their famous curry mee. To me it taste like vegetarian curry mee. Taste is slightly mild, fragrant of coconut milk and a curry leave. A simple bowl of curry mee KL version. The set back is there is not much ingredient. comes with only taupok, siham and fish cake. @ RM 6

Fried Noodle is a bit blend for me but my colleague like it. For a simple street food in KL, this might be one of your simple comfort food.

Taste is quite subjective as they are here for 15 years with a reason. Definitely it suits the locals here.
