Review: Restaurant Hung Kee

Malaysia

HK - sui kow
babe_kl writes: **Non-Halal**One evening I wanted to eat wantan mee but it's hard to find good wantan mee at that hour. I know most will ended up at the Sungai Besi wantan mee but seriously their quality seems to have really gone down the drain that I won't grade it as wantan mee anymore. Suddenly I recalled Restaurant Hung Kee is opened at night now but not sure if they serve wantan mee cause they also serves dai chow (stir fry) dishes and noodles. So hubby suggested we take a gamble.Boy as I walked in the place, I was really glad to see char siu (bbq pork), siew yuk (roasted pork) and roast chicken hanging on the ... read more


boo_licious writes: Apologies for abandoning the blog last week, but work got in the way. Didn't help that I was not staying home, since I had to house-sit, while my mum was away in Beijing. This meant, it was difficult to upload pictures. Anyway, things should be looking brighter this week, since I am back home.Something quick and easy today - a new discovery at an old place. One of the saddest parts of work has been the lack of great food around the Shah Alam area. Takes me a while to discover new places to eat, since lunch is usually a splash and dash around the area. Hence, if anyone ... read more


Review: Shin Kee Beef Noodles Specialist

Malaysia

Shin Kee - beef noodles
babe_kl writes: Whilst I was busy at my client's some months back, I took the opportunity to get down to Chinatown (Petaling Street) area to soak up the atmosphere during lunch or after office hours. I like to work in this part of the city as the food choices are endless! Ranging from chicken rice, wantan noodles, chee cheung fun, yong tau foo, claypot loh shue fun and siew yuk noodles, exotic food, fabulous curry laksa, and not forgetting the happy happy pastries for dessert or snack.Other than Soong Kee, I also like the beef noodles at Shin Kee Beef Noodles Specialist at Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock opposite ... read more


boo_licious writes: After hearing about this place, I finally got to try it one Saturday. Usually, when we're running errands around Petaling Jaya State, I'll grab a quick snack from the mini egg tart stall. This time round, the stall was not around. Not sure if he has closed down permanently or closed for the Chinese New Year period (some hawkers take off after the festive season as they don't rest during that time).Anyway, I decided to try the wantan noodles. Heard a lot about it from friends. A small portion costs RM4, with a few pieces of char siu and two small wantans. The noodle texture is nice - chewy ... read more


Prawn mee
babe_kl writes: Come lunch time, Changkat Ceylon, Lorong Ceylon and Jalan Mesui will be abuzz with activities. It is very popular amongst the office workers around this area to have their lunch at the hawkers at these stretches. I used to come here very often when my office was nearer. These days I will only come here once in a long while due to the distance.There are a lot of good stuff around here ranging from the mixed rice stall located within a Chinese temple along Changkat Ceylon (that leads to Wisma MPL's carpark) which sells vegetarian dishes on the 1st and 15th of the lunar calendar. No doubt the dishes are very tasty but it's super duper expensive, ... read more


boo_licious writes: Chicken char siu and abalone on top of Maggi instant noodlesRecently I had 2 cans of abalone to finish just before their expiry date which is this month. We just used it in a simple manner i.e. as a simple topping for noodles and porridge. I understand some people do use the canned liquid for cooking but my mother has warned me against that, since she reckons it is full of preservatives.Sliced abaloneI decided to try and make the chicken char siu I learnt from the Cooking House with Fatboybakes, Precious Pea and Lyrical Lemongrass. It was pretty simple to make and I made ... read more


boo_licious writes: Canton-I exterior Along the Promenade, which connnects the old wing to the new wing of 1 Utama Shopping Centre, a number of new eating places have opened - Pasta Zanmai, Carl's Jr, a vegetarian restaurant and Canton-I. Canton-I interior Canton-I is supposedly owned by the highly popular Dragon-I and opened in December 2007. A different menu is served here - noodles, rice, congee, dim sum items (fried, pan fried and steamed) and desserts. Similar to Dragon-I outlets, part of the frontage of the restaurant is the open kitchen. Here at Canton-I, you get to see the barbequed meats and the chefs cooking noodles. A small take away area for pastries is tucked at ... read more


More New Lane Hawker Food

Malaysia

BBQ-Chicken
vkeong writes: Last weekend I had a sudden crave for BBQ chicken and fried oysters. It was at night so the first place I could think of is New Lane. New Lane is well known for the many hawker stalls operating at night. For the tourists staying in Sunway Hotel Georgetown, Penang they are extremely lucky because food is only steps away. I ordered a BBQ chicken wing and thigh from the stall in the coffee shop. I forgot the coffee shop’s name but it is on the far left if you’re coming from Sunway Hotel. The BBQ chicken is very much nicer compared to the one I ordered during ... read more


Yishensu, A Vegetarian Connoisseur

Malaysia

teckiee writes: My parents were away for the week end. I didn't have the energy nor the mood to cook so I dragged (actually she was more than willing to get out of the house too) a dinner movie date. It was about 7.30pm when we reach Yishensu, A vegetarian Connoisseur. This month old vegetarian restaurant is located at Lot G207, opposite TGIF in the old wing of One Utama. Ever since I saw the interior decorations, I have been wanting to try the food. Just love the flower arrangement at the entrance. I like the well lit place and the color scheme of the restaurant. Feels very cozy and comfortable. A lady, ... read more
