Hong Kong Dim Sum stall @ Jalan Development, Kepong

 

Managed by two Chinese nationals, this stall opens only in the evening. They serve very nice dim sum (but not the lo mai kai) and the Hong Kong chee cheong fun or rice noodle roll is especially unique.

The skin is not overly soft; the ingredient (I ordered char siew) fresh and generous; and the unique soy sauce wraps up the whole dish perfectly well. This is by far the best HK ccf that I've tasted!

It might not look very appealing (on the outside) but it tasted really good (and that's what really counts).

Dao Heong Restaurant @ BRP 6/11

Hainan chicken is one of their specialties. You should try it, it's pretty good--both the meat and sauce. :b The BBQ pork slice, however, is way toooooo thin for my liking. Very unfortunate... rating down 0.5. Do check these outlets: Yow Kee Hainan Chicken Rice and Restaurant Siew Ngap Fai.

Jin Xuan Hong Kong Dim Sum @ SS 22/19, Damansara Jaya

Savoury Glutinous Rice (lor mai kai). A must-try!! Reeeeally yum yum. Everything, and I really mean everything, from the seasoning, the meat to other toppings, was just right. Though slightly more expensive (RM4) than the normal coffee shop lor mai kai, it's worth your every cent!

Well, just look at the har kao's translucent skin. It's so thin you couldn't even feel it "melting" in your mouth. (I'm exaggerating!) :) Nevertheless, the sweet, fresh, juicy and plump prawn meat is real. Succulent!

Rating: 5/5 stars

Can be comparable to Tong Kee's egg tarts. Still good enough for high rating. ;) "Tong Kee's egg tart kalah to Canton I kao kao lahh," a real foodie friend commented. (I have yet to try it, Nicole.) ^^

Restaurant Char Siew Zhai Wan Tan Mee @ Paramount Garden

 

The noodle texture, springy; sauce, good; wan tan, nothing to shout about--just slightly bigger in size; the char siew, however, is mouth-watering!

The best part of the pork is usually the belly with some visible fat (half fat meat) but this time I opted for lean meat. Thinking that I'll be given the non-meaty, dry, hard and rough meat texture, I lowered my expectation of a hearty meal...    

But to my surprise, the meat was soft and meaty; it's juicy, tender and roasted to charred sweet perfection! Need I say more?

I was really glad the stall owner didn't cut the char siew meat as thin as manila card as was done by some (as though they want to show off their culinary "skill!")

Ulu Yam Restaurant, 4/23A @ Jalan Genting Klang

Lunch was very much relished with us savouring the soft and tasty stewed pork and yam dish (wu thau khau yuk). Bad news for those on a diet as the oily part of the meat is, admittedly, the best! All in all, the dish was well prepared. And not forgetting the yam which was nice in taste and texture.

In comparison to Teo Chew Setapak Restaurant's similar pork roll lobak dish, this has a drier and firmer texture (less moist). The skin was crisp and teasing our taste buds, the aroma of the "five-spice powder" (5 heong fun) greeted us even before we took the first bite. A savoury side snack dish.

Teow Chew Restaurant @ Setapak

If you are into lum mee, here is one dish you should try here. This place is touted as the lum mee restaurant. The mee is homemade (see pic), and they use fresh saito fish balls and prawns. No doubt about this. Unfortunately today, the soup served was a bit on the "watery" side. Human error perhaps as business is always brisk here. Anyway, don't forget the vinegar. ;-)

Did you notice the fried rice? Ah ha, I bet you didn't! :) I rate it 3/5 stars. Definitely not enough "wok hau". This made the rice less aromatic and not as appetizing as it ought to be. Well, the cooks have to be quick as orders were pouring in fast during peak hours. Excuses, excuses...

This is one of their signature dishes: Fried dry white mee hoon. It may look plain and the least appetizing at first glance, unlike the scrumptious Hokkien mee or mee hoon doused in dark soy sauce, but I love the taste. And it turns out to be very appetizing. ok... the ingredients: fresh saito fish cake, meat balls, small onions, chee yau cha (fried pork lard), etc... this is my second time eating this dish d. =)

Crisp toothsome fried "lobak" Teow Chew style. Yummy, yummy. No, you won't find bits and pieces of pork meat to chew on here, but the soft mashed savoury fillings are what makes this dish unique. Very appetizing...

The restaurant opens around 10.30/11am and closes at around 3pm.
