Woo Pin 45 Kamunting Fish Head Noodle & Portuguese Egg Tart

FoodSpy — Sun, 09 Jun 2024 07:31:49 +0000

First started beside a Cheras flat, Woo Pin Fish Head Noodle now has branches around KL. One of the busiest branches is at Woo Pin 45 Kamunting in Kuala Lumpur Central.

I had the Fish Head Noodle (RM13.50) with fried fish option. It came with 3-4 pieces of fried fish fillet (normal to have lots of bones), and a chunk of fried fish head. The fish were well fried without getting too hard to dry, and the outer layer was quite crispy too. The broth, however, lacked the fish flavors, only backed up by the saltiness from the salted veggies, and the sourness from the tomatoes. The chili sauce packed a flavorful, tangy punch. You can opt for several types of noodles.

This branch is also famous for their freshly baked Portuguese Egg Tarts (RM4 each). The pastry layers of the egg tart were buttery, crispy and well-defined. I like the egg custard filling texture but it was too sweet for me.

Chapathi Recipes | Taman Connaught

FoodSpy — Sun, 09 Jun 2024 07:09:31 +0000

Chapathi Recipes is a North Indian restaurant in Taman Connaught, Cheras. It features a wide variety of Indian cuisines, served in the comfortable, air-conditioned space. I order their Bread Basket (RM22), which consists of five different breads each: Chapati, Tandoori Roti, Garlic Naan, Butter Naan, and Aloo Paratha (potato stuffed bread). Nothing much to comment for the average chapati and tandoori roti, but the other breads were pretty good. The naans were buttery and not too thick. The aloo paratha had the nice spiced potato fillings that didn’t feel too heavy (carbs on carbs).

Note: These were on take-aways, hence the plastic containers and the lack of ‘bread basket’.

Also, I order the Butter Chicken (RM18) and Palak Paneer (RM17). The well-spiced Butter Chicken was not as spicy as it looked, but the flavors were nice and strong. The boneless chicken chunks were not too dry. The Palak Paneer was a little more spicier as some chili oil was poured onto it; a gentle kick, nothing overwhelming. I have a light palate and I found both dishes quite salty.

Gerai Makanan Kie Kee Chicken Rice & Porridge 祺记海南鸡饭

Chicken Rice: The rice was buttery enough for my liking. The roasted chicken was pretty succulent and tender, with the light soy sauce which wasn’t too salty. The chili sauce was onee of the highlights as the flavor was strong in garlic and ginger. A bowl of light mustard green soup was given.

Wild Boar Curry: The meat given was in meaty slices instead of chunks. The texture was rather dry but was covered by the hot curry which looked and tasted more like sambal with belacan and sugar.

Jessie's Cendol Stall no.48

This cendol (RM4.50) took me back to Penang with its thick gula melaka (palm sugar), generously added yet not overly sweet. The coconut milk was also strong and balanced out the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The thick cendol jellies were fragrant and tasty too!

More to come, need more trips...

Ban Lee Bak Kut Teh

Wasabi — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 09:25:35 +0000

Ban Lee Bak Kut Teh (万利肉骨茶餐室) is one of the top bak kut teh place in Kuala Lumpur. I like their broth that tasted very herby (a slight bit too salty for my liking but still alright eating with rice) and the cooking quality of the meat. I had the default mixed bak kut teh and there were mixed pork such as belly, ribs and even intestines (so remember to ask for meat only if you don’t eat offal). Button mushrooms and enoki were included for tasty nutritious boost, along with bean curd skin and vege.

One photo is not enough to capture everything in the pot, so here are what hiding underneath and other ingredients. Total bill was RM26 including a bowl of white rice and a bowl of add-on taupok (tofu puffs).

Chee Kong Roasted Pork 浙江烧肉

Wasabi — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 09:01:34 +0000

Chee Kong Roasted Pork (浙江烧肉) is probably the most famous roasters stall in Ipoh. When I arrive 30 minutes before the stall is open, there were already a line (locals and tourists) waiting at the empty stall. Not long after the operators arrived with the loads of roasted meat, you’ll see a galore of meaty goodness.

I dined in for a plate of their Roasted Pork Rice (RM6). The roasted pork with some braised sauce is served on white rice, along with two slices of cucumber and chili sauce. The roasted pork was indeed delicious, meat and fat well-balance, and the skin was super crispy without any hard spot. However, the small portion didn’t feel satisfying. I would recommend buying just the roasted pork in the larger quality (say RM15).

While waiting for my turn I noticed many patrons ordering the Roasted Sausage. Out of curiosity, I order a small RM15 take away to give it a try. It was decent but not something I like, good texture though.

Enak & Rangup is one of the many snack shops in Ipoh famous ‘Kacang Putih town’. Kacang Putih, literally translated as white nuts, are an assortment of snacks usually consist of chickpeas, lentils or fried mixed nuts with Indian spiced flavors.

In this shop, you can pretty much find every kind of kacang putih, in every bag size from small (RM3) to jumbo (RM50 and above). I bought some kind of thin spicy muruku sticks, bombay mix, and deep fried bitter gourd and they were all enak (tasty) and rangup (crunchy), just like the name of the shop.

Other than packed snacks, the shop also sells a wide assortments of Indian sweets. I picked just the basic Palkova (RM0.70) and it’s sweet and milky.

Wasabi — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 08:14:51 +0000

Kannaa’s Bamboo Masalla Briyani original branch is in Ipoh, and there is also one in Puchong.

The mutton briyani costed RM17, including the nasi briyani, mutton varuval, an egg, a small scope of vege and chutney, served on a banana leaf. You will also be provided with compliment add-as-you-like curries.

The briyani rice was pretty strong in the herbal flavors and you would find pieces of herbs and spices in the rice. The mutton was so tender I had almost thought they were imitation meat haha. There’s a good spicy kick from the mutton varuval so people who can’t take spicy food might struggle. The side vege, while not the main role of the dish, looked miserable.

Hog Kitchen by HK Pork Noodle

Wasabi — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 07:45:47 +0000

Hog Kitchen by HK Pork Noodle has two branches in SS2, Petaling Jaya, and in Kota Damansara. Their pork noodles were good with big size portion (of courses, it still costs higher than hawker stalls’ but price wise it’s reasonable in a busy city).

I had the Tomota Soup Pork Noodle (RM20.50) and the broth was flavorful with strong tomato taste without covering the sweetness of the pork essence. Pork meat and offal were plentiful and cooked just nicely to retain their tenderness and taste. The pork liver was bouncy and not dry.

My friend order the Ketogenic menu and it was loaded with meat, super value!

Wong Kee Chicken Rice, PJ SS17

Wasabi — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 08:21:19 +0000

People who stay or work near SS17 would probably heard off Wong Kee Chicken Rice. It is a popular lunch spot for the working group in Petaling Jaya.

The roasted chicken was succulent and tender. Even the breast meat wasn’t too dry. Rice was fragrant. The tangy chili sauce was excellent too.

My favorite was definitely their melt-in-the-mouth char siew. Heavily caramelized on the surface, they also provide a bowl of thick sweet sauce just in case you want more of the saucy flavors. 75% fat 25% meat of goodness!

The Roast Pork was awesome too, crispy crackling skin with tender meat balanced with fat. (Minimum order RM30)

The total bill was RM98 (4 pax) including 4 bowls of chicken rice and 2 drinks.

Kow Kee Restaurant, Gambang

Wasabi — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 07:56:33 +0000

Kow Kee Restaurant is a hidden gem in Gambang, you can hardly notice this kopitiam when you drive pass Jalan Gambang. However, it is known by locals that this place serves great food!

The most popular food here is probably the crowd favorite char siew. Unfortunately, when I arrived in the last hour before closing, their char siew has sold out so I didn’t get to savor it.

Instead, I got their Roasted Chicken Rice (RM7), which I think was decent (chicken was good) while the rice was quite hard and dry and less flavorful.

Their Stuffed Tofu (RM2.50) is a nice side dish / snack. The tofu, stuffed with ground pork with some braised gravy, was smooth, soft and tasted very fresh. Sweet chili sauce provided.

The Fried Chicken Wings (RM10) were very enjoyable too! Charred on the outside but still tender and juicy inside. The marinated layer was quite salty, however, so it was a little overwhelming eating them just by itself.

Daily: 9am – 3.30pm

Char Siew Rice – RM7

Chicken Rice – RM7
