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.

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).

Monday: Closed

Tuesday to Sunday: 5am – 3pm, 4.30pm – 2am

Wasabi — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 06:10:54 +0000

Restoran Chong Thoong Kee 张东记 is an old restaurant in Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI), featuring Ipoh’s specialty: Kai Si Hor Fun & Beansprout Chicken.

The Kai Si Hor Fun, or Ipoh Chicken Hor Fu (RM7.50 / RM8.50) is the crowd’s favorite. The broth was pretty strong in prawn’s flavors and chicken aroma. There were 2-3 pieces of halved small prawns, shallots and scallions. I added three extra prawn wantans (around RM1 or RM2 I think) and they were alright, quite tiny though.

Kaw Kaw Burger

Wasabi — Mon, 08 Nov 2021 08:04:43 +0000

Kaw Kaw Burger Wangsa Maju is a humble roadside stall that serves delicious burgers. They claim to be the first creator of Burger Bakar in Malaysia. They have other branches in Ampang and Damansara (proper stores), but Wangsa Maju is their origin and the best spot to experience ‘roadside burgers’. You can also order online delivery at their website.

Smokeynizer BEEF Burger (double) RM23.50: From the thick and meaty patty, you’ll know it’s the real thing. Each homemade beef patty weighs 165gram, accompanied by Brioche burger bun, heavy mayonnaise, Melbourne Cheese, smoked sauces and chili pickle. Other than the tender patties, the sauces were superb!

The Cabin Melawati | Grilled Burger and More

Wasabi — Mon, 08 Nov 2021 07:37:18 +0000

The Cabin Melawati has been running its business quietly in the busy street of Taman Melawati.

The Cabin Burger RM13: Thick homemade beef patty, good seasoning, with fries on the side. A wholesome and delicious grilled burger worth to try!

Kuey Teow Hailam RM8: We did not expect this “under-dish” to be anything spectacular but we were wrong. The noodle and sauce had a very impactful flavor, with much ‘wok hei’ in the dish.

Nasi Goreng The Cabin RM9: There is a saying: “When in doubt, go with fried rice”. Not in this case though, as the fried rice badly lacked ‘wok hei’ and the rice was hard. The chicken chop was passable, although it was quite dry.

Meatballs RM11: We also had meatballs, which included some potato wedges and a piece of toast. A good order to have for some snacks to share among your group.

Pepperoni Pizza (small) RM11: A good ol pepperoni pizza, as long as you don’t mind the irregular shape for the personal size pizza.

Sweet Forest Cafe | Salted Egg Sauce Chicken Chop

Wasabi — Mon, 08 Nov 2021 07:14:23 +0000

Sweet Forest Cafe open its first outlet in Setapak, and got viral among the university students for its Salted Egg Sauce Chicken Chop. Currently, there are other two branches located in Puchong and Kepong.

Salted Egg Sauce Chicken Chop RM17.90: The sauce was delicious and had very strong salted egg flavor. The chicken chop was thick and meaty.

Mushroom Sauce Chicken Chop with Spaghetti (RM9.90 lunch set): Other than ordering the original version (RM16.90 for this), they sometimes offer lunch sets which substitute the side ingredients with rice or spaghetti, and served with a bowl of thick mushroom soup and a piece of garlic toast. Contradictory to the salted egg sauce, the mushroom sauce on the chicken chop was too mild and bland to be eaten with the rice/spaghetti. Also compared with the amount of rice, the spaghetti served was very little.

Fried Mantis Shrimps with Salted Egg (RM15.90): The batter was very crispy and savory, with a tiny piece of mantis shrimp meat coated inside.

Operating hours:

Monday: Closed

Tuesday to Sunday: 11am–9pm

Other branches: Kepong (Daily: 11am – 8pm); Puchong (11am – 12am)

Mali’s Corner | Malay Style Char Kuey Teow & Nasi Lemak

Wasabi — Mon, 08 Nov 2021 05:56:36 +0000

Mali’s Corner has two locations in the Setapak area. They have been the go-to spots for many nearby University students and residents. The one located in Platinum Walk is a cafeteria style eatery, while the one at Taman Bunga Raya is a fixed stall by the road.

Char Kuey Teow Special RM10: Their main signature. Typical Malay-style char kuey teow which is ‘wet’. Drenched in flavorful gravy, it’s unlike the typical dry fried kuey teow you see. The ‘Special’ version includes more prawns.

Nasi Lemak Ayam RM6.50: Not everyone fancy the wet char kuey teow, hence Mali’s Corner Nasi Lemak often becomes the star of the show. The rice texture was alright. They gave a surprisingly large amount of sambal, which were on the sweeter side. The spiced fried chicken (Ayam Berempah) was well seasoned and not overcooked.

Location 1 (Platinum Walk):

Location 2 (Taman Bunga Raya):

Fatt Kee Herbal Soup 发记炖汤 @ Loong Fatt 隆发茶餐室 | Brain Soup!?

Wasabi — Mon, 08 Nov 2021 04:37:07 +0000

Located in Restoran Loong Fatt 隆发茶餐室 food court, Fatt Kee Herbal Soup 发记炖汤 opens only at night. Their specialties include not only various types of soup, but also a variety of delicious dishes that come in small bowls, so you get to try more different food.

One of the main reasons I was here was for the Pig Brain Soup 猪脑汤 (RM5), because it is rare to find one and I have never tried it (although I wasn’t sure if I am able to actually eat a brain or not). As a result, I didn’t find it difficult for me to enjoy the custardy tofu-like texture of the brain.

Beggar Chicken Soup 竹丝鸡汤 (RM5.50): With a whole leg inside. Their soup in general had plenty of herbs and all were tasty. You can really taste the quality of the soup as they used enough good ingredients to boil them.

Braised Pork Belly 东坡肉 (RM6), Steamed Pork with Preserved Mustard 梅菜扣肉 (RM4.50) & Braised Pork With Yam 芋头扣肉 (RM4.50): Taste amazing and went really well with rice. They were all savory and fatty, a perfect combination to be eaten with plain rice!

Wild Boar Curry 咖喱山猪肉 RM5: The meat wasn’t too tough and there wasn’t any gamey smell. The curry was very nice especially with rice.

Operating hours for Fatt Kee Herbal Soup stall:

Thursday: Closed

Friday to Wednesday: 6pm – 11pm

For Restoran Loong Fatt food court: 8am – 8pm (off Thursday)

The Roasted Chicken wasn’t as slippery as the steamed one but it’s still pretty good! (RM5.50 for rice set)
