Restoran 3A Yong Tau Foo & Cheong Fun @ Damansara Utama, Selangor

Every time I go to The Ship in Uptown I pass this restaurant and had always made a mental note to come here someday. Just that it had always been postponed until today. We were here around 7pm and there were just a few customers in the restaurant.

The Restaurant at Damansara Utama
To locate this restaurant is quite easy. It is located in the same row of shop lots as The Ship in Damansara Utama. Once we were in and got our table, we were attended to by the waiter. They seemed to have a huge staff waiting in the restaurant. Perhaps business must be pretty good.

The Menu
As you can see from the above photo, they had quite a number of offerings and it was not limited to Yong Tau Foo and Cheong Fan. As I wanted to try more of the other main dishes as well, we placed minimal items for the Yong Tau Foo and ordered a few more of the dishes.

Interior of the restaurant
As you can see, the interior of the restaurant is quite simple but I like the cleanliness. Well maintained.

Cincau Ice @ RM 2.20
The first drink to arrive was the above Cincau Ice. It was good I should say and was not too sweet. Service here is pretty fast but they keep sending one item at a time which was pretty funny.

Iced Sour Plum @ RM 2.20
This was good...I mean really good!!!

Yong Tau Foo

Fish Balls

Fried Wan Tan & Char Kuih
As for the Yong Tau Foo, we ordered the above items. They include Japan Tofu, Bitter Gourd, Lady's Finger, Wantan, Char Kuih and Fish Balls. This Char Kuih was something new that I am trying here.These items cost RM 1.20 each. They were pretty good. From my previous entries I am sure that you know that I am not lenient with quality but this place truly deserves it. However, the soup was just average. If you gauge the Yong Tau Foo items, then I would rate them 8/10 .

Curry Cheong Fun @ RM 3.00
This dish was okay too but not the best that I have tried. It comes in a single size and cost RM 3.00 . I would rate this 6/10 .

Fried Bean Sprout with Salted Fish @ RM 8.00
The main dishes here come in three sizes i.e. small, medium and large. As it was only two of us, we kept to the small portion size. This dish was nice and the salted fish was of a good quality. It was not the usual small chunks but long strips of the fish was found in the dish. I would rate this dish 8/10 and it was very satisfactory.

Assam Ikan Pari @ RM 10.00
For the above dish, you have a choice between Squid and Stingray and we preferred the stingray for tonight. This is the small portioned dish and it cost RM 10.00 . This was okay and it was really sour. Only setback was that it was a little too oily. The fish was also not too fresh and you get the taste that it's been in the freezer for some time. I would rate this 7/10 .

Black Pepper Chicken @ RM 10.00
This again was another small portioned dish at RM 10.00 . This dish, was excellent. I just loved the way they did it and as you can see, they were lavish with the black pepper. The meat was also good cuts and less bones. I loved the way they fried this. I would surely give this 9/10 .

Us at dinner
On the whole, this restaurant is pretty good. The Yong Tau Foo is of great quality and as for the dishes, it is quite selective and depends on the dish. From what we tried, I would surely recommend the Fried Bean Sprouts with Salted Fish and the Black Pepper Chicken. The total bill for the day came up to RM 46.00 which is reasonable for the number of dishes that we ordered.

  1. 敬爱的佛教信土:
    我是甲洞三宝寺 (暹廟) SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION NO: 19-21 JALAN 38 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA. 的理事, 当任此职多年, 对内的事務也一清二楚。

    最近, 在网络上看了PHRA PIYATHAMMO和尚和马华公会鸱唛区主席叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师的双方信件, 使我的内心久久不能平伏, 良心受到很大的譴責, 不吐訢不痛快, 所以我要誠恳的説:他叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)侓师叫外来的流流氓到三宝寺(暹廟)挑衅和尚打架及电招警方人员扣捕沙彌, 其嘲笑手法, 不外是要显示其权力, 而鞏固其职位, 以达到权力就是一切, 好让住持难堪, 自动離开, 方便行事……这种举动, 已间接的表逹其含意, 住持和尚兼顾问, 都无能为力,你们这些信徒能做什么?即使告马耒西亜佛教总会又能为难什么?这种心态, 的硧令人反感, 不是一个正信佛教者应有的行为。

    至今, 三宝寺的理事成员多数是其親戚, 这是实事, 加入会员需交RM100元费用,同时,必须经过叶金福(Yip Kum Fook)律师的同意,否则免談, 所以会员也不多。

    马华公会鹅唛区主席叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师,自控制三宝寺之後,把三宝寺(暹廟)当着私人產業,聘用和尚賺钱,利用佛教的道地为政治活动埸所,而处理三宝寺的钱财也不透明?这点,值得信众追问。马来西亚地擴人多,和尚也不缺乏,为什么不用本地和尚当任住持化缘,却偏偏劳心劳神,浪费签证费,交通费? 还要烦劳梹城佛总的推荐信, 向文化不同, 而語言又不通之千哩外囯缅旬和尚求助? 为什么….为什么? 只要我们用头脑想一想,便一日了然, 不必晝虎添足。

    叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak )律师说:欢迎任何人如有意见,可以电话03:62762369/0122039700 Email: YIPKUMFOOK@HOTMAIL.COM 戓到其马华公会鹅唛区会甲洞三宝寺及以下地圵:NO.2,B JALAN 53 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100 SELANGOR, MALAYSIA.討論, 我要老实的提醒大家, 最好不要一个去見他, 因为这个人狡滑, 笑裡藏刀, 很阴险, 出家人都不放在眼裡, 連TAMAN DAYA 52100 KEPONG, KUALA LUMPUR. 众人的印度廟也敢放火燒, 利用权势把场地佔为己有, 由此可见, 他是何等的心毒? 还有现在三宝寺内, 各处都按裝计孔监视来人一举一动。

    目前, 三宝寺很多信徒及当地居民, 已经对叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak )律师不满, 但也不能做什么。他计划把三宝寺主席的职位轉给其子YIP JIUN HANN律师, 续承皇朝. 想近一部了觧詳情, 可上网得知。

    再说, 根据前理事在网络上给叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师的批評, 説他懂得包裝自己的道德守则, 以宗教为幌子手, 到处募款, 啇業经营, 政治活动为重, 并没依循佛教守則行事, 也没对人道作出貢献, 只不过借三宝寺宗教之名捞取权和私利而己, 其言也不为过, 是实事。

    在此, 我恳切希望, 廣大的佛教信仰者, 给予关注, 并共創義举, 弘扬佛教. 谢谢。
