SS2 Selera Malam (Wai Sek Kai SS2) @ SS2, Petaling Jaya

This food court in SS2 has been around for ages but of late, I have been observing a decline in business. Even this evening, we were here at around 10 pm and there were not many stalls that were open and the crowd was not great compared to what it used to be. Previously, it used to be buzzing with customers even at midnight. I was a little skeptical at first but since we were already here, I decided to give the place a try. 

The Food Court In SS2

Fried Kuey Teow Stall

Fried Mee / Kuey Teow Mix @ RM 6.00

I have tried the food at Stall No. 8 before and their Char Kuey Teow used to be really good. Today, it was the total opposite and a huge let down as I was expecting the same old taste. The noodles were bland, tasteless and it was just not right from every aspect. Sadly, I am only going to rate this at 3/10. 

Stall 55 Grilled Fish

Grilled Stingray

This Grilled Stingray from Stall 55 was another disaster. The was charred all over and the meat was so stiff and dry. There was no real Sambal taste coming from the stingray and the sauce that was provided was nothing but totally watery stuff that again was tasteless. Another total waste of money. 2/10 would be my rating for this. 

Stall 56 Prawn Mee

Prawn Mee @ RM 6.00

Thankfully, their Prawn Mee was still what it used to be. The broth was thick and it came with generous amount of add on's. This is one that is comparable to the best Prawn Mee's to be found in the Klang Valley. My rating for this shall be 9/10. 

Pork Satay Stall

Pork Satay

The Pork Satay was decent but not as good as the one that we get in Desa Jaya, Kepong. The meat was lean and the flavours were up to my expectations. The Peanut Dip however wasn't great. My rating for the Satay shall be 8/10 and 5/10 for the Peanut Sauce. 

Wantan Mee Stall

Wantan Mee

Wanton's In Clear Soup

There's so much hype about this plate of Wantan Mee at the stall so much so my expectations ended up being very high. When the dish was served, it was a total disappointment. The Wantan Mee itself was so ordinary and the Char Siew was nothing great. In fact, I would say that their Char Siew was bad. My rating for the noodles shall be 5/10 and their Char Siew, I shall rate it at 4/10. The Wanton's were okay but the soup was too salty. I would say it tasted worse than sea water. 0/10 for this clear soup. 

Despite having once been a place that was very famous, today I realised why their business had been on a decline. Compared to my last visit in 2013, food quality had gone so bad so much so many of the dishes that we had ordered this evening were below expectations. The only dish that was consistently good was the Prawn Mee from Stall 56. Based on what we had experienced this evening, I don't see any reason to come here expect for that Prawn Mee which was good. If you're not going for that, I would suggest avoiding this place.

HOMI Chicken Curry Puff @ SS2, Petaling Jaya

HOMI Chicken Curry Puff is one of those Curry Puff outlets that I frequent. I have been having this Curry Puff for at least the past 15 years now. Being in the mood for it this evening, we drove out to their main outlet which is a stall that is located in Restoran Sun Hin Loong in SS2, Petaling Jaya.

The Curry Puff Stall

Freshly Made Puffs

Being his dad's recipe, the brothers have made this business into a very successful venture. Today, they also have another outlet located on the Lower Ground Floor of Mid Valley Megamall.  Due to that Megamall outlet, as it is a requirement there, they have acquired the Halal status though they do not display it in their SS2 outlet as the main customers here are Chinese. Nevertheless, it is all made in a single place and all staffs are Muslims. This stall operates from 7.30 am until 5.30 pm daily. From what I can remember in 2008, the price then was RM 1.20 each but today, it is RM 2.50 each at this particular outlet. In Mid Valley Megamall, it is priced at RM 2.90 each. At this outlet, he only sells the Chicken Curry Puffs but at the Megamall outlet, you also get Sardine Puffs and Mildly Spicy Chicken Pie.

Chicken Curry Puff @ RM 2.50

Delicious Curried Potato Filling

The Chicken Curry Puffs were huge and the taste has been consistent over the years. The ingredients are chicken, mushroom, green pea, carrot, potato and onions cooked in thick curry. My rating for these Curry Puffs would be 9/10 . It's great to see that HOMI has now also expanded into the shopping mall scene and hope that there would be more outlets opening in other malls as well. One thing that I would like to congratulate him is that despite his expansion, the quality and taste of the Curry Puffs have been consistent over the years and that is a great satisfaction to his loyal supporters like me.

Restoran Sun Hin Loong @ SS2, Petaling Jaya

Restoran Sun Hing Loong is a fairly old coffee shop that is located in SS2, Petaling Jaya. They are open from breakfast right up to supper daily. Predominantly, it's a mini food court like concept with many stalls selling a variety of food items. The landlord sells the drinks, cigarettes and Bao's. 

The Restaurant Along Jalan 2/64, Petaling Jaya

A Variety Of Bao's

Business is good from the time they open which is 7 am right up to 3 am. If you come for breakfast, then you get to enjoy the wide variety of Pau that they have to offer. This is the first time that I am seeing this much variety in a day to day coffee shop. 

Local Coffee

A Mix Of Pau's

We ordered Coffee and some Pau's so that we could taste a good variety. The coffee was good. Just like how it is usually made in those old school coffee shops and they were reasonably priced. My rating for the coffee would be 8/10. 

Kaya Pau

Red Bean Pau

Vegetable Pau

Char Siew Pau

Although they were just another day to day Chinese Coffee Shop, Restoran Sun Hin Loong does have an excellent variety of Pau's to choose from. From what I had observed this morning, there were close to 10 varieties which is something that is quite rare these days. The Pau's were all tasty and the bun was so soft. Every variety that we tried was  good and my rating for these Pau's would be 8/10. If you happen to be near SS2 Petaling Jaya, then I would recommend dropping by for breakfast.

Restoran Soong Kee SS2 @ Petaling Jaya, Selangor

I am sure that many of the Chinese food lovers would have heard of and perhaps even been to Soong Kee, Ho Wing Kee and Lo Yao Kee that's located along Jalan Silang, Kuala Lumpur. These are some famous eateries that have been around since the year 1945. Despite being three different stalls specialising in a specific range of dishes, they all belong to the same group. And here's the good news. You can now enjoy all these delicacies from these three stalls under one roof. Restoran Soog Kee SS2 that's located along Jalan SS 2/66 in Petaling Jaya brings together their best dishes under one roof, all for the comfort and convenience of their customers. 

The Restaurant Located Along SS 2/66

It's not really difficult to locate this restaurant. If you know where DiGi outlet in SS 2 is, this restaurant is just a few doors away. Alternatively assuming that you're coming in from the LDP, you would turn left at LDP, keep going straight and turn right at the first turning. Once you have turned in here, you would see some houses on your right and the shops on your left. Keep going straight towards the end of the second block and you would come to this restaurant. Parking is always a challenge here and so it's best to come for breakfast. 

Cutlery, Tissue And Everything Else That You May Need

The restaurant was so organised and I love the way they had neatly arranged the cutlery, tissue paper and the other items neatly in one corner of the table. Everything that you may possibly need was there and they were hygienically kept in closed containers and this includes the cutlery. 

Even at the entrance, you get a blown up picture of their menu along with one of the newspaper write ups. The restaurant is air-conditioned and I would say is fairly trendy. Obviously one wouldn't expect very cheap prices here in SS2 bearing in mind the locality and the overall ambiance. In fact, for this area, I felt that the prices were quite reasonable. Once I was inside, this time the Lady Boss herself attended to me. She passed me a chit and a pencil and I had to fill in the orders in those tick boxes. It was very nice of her to take a few minutes and assist me with the ordering process. 

Dry Wantan Noodles with Char Siew @ RM 6.90

When the above Kon Low Mee arrived, it did look odd to me. The noodles itself seemed different and even the Char Siew looked very different. But it all changed with the first bite and I was in love with this dish.The springy egg noodles were so different to the ones that I have tried before. They were so springy, soft and it was just so good. Words just can't describe that pleasure in my palate. The base sauce was perfect and overall it was just splendid. I would give this a 9/10. Now, their Char Siew was something else altogether. When I say melt in the mouth, this was the real melt in the mouth. It had the right balance of meat and fat, skillfully cut to just the right thickness and it was a divine experience. This is something that's out of this world and I'd give 9/10 for their Char Siew.

Wonton's In Clear Soup

This is provided along with the above dish. The clear soup was good but it wasn't the best that I have had. As for the soup, I'd give it a 7/10. The dumplings however were quite good. Meaty, chewy and juicy and the outer flour wasn't too thick which is just the way that it should be. My rating for this would be 8/10.

Business Hours

Having been one that has been in business since 1945, I am very impressed that they have managed to keep the taste consistent over the years, just like the one that you would get at the original stalls along Jalan Silang and the quality has not been altered, not even a little. The highlight of my meal today was definitely the Wantan Mee and Char Siew and I would love to have it again some time soon.

My Toast N Roast @ Petaling Jaya, Selangor

My Toast N Roast is a restaurant that specialises in a number of noodles and they are also very famous for their Char Siew and Siew Yuk. Many magazines have listed them as the best Char Siew and Siew Yuk in town and being a lover of these two items, I had to give this place a try. 

The Restaurant Along Jalan SS 2/6

Interior Of The Restaurant

This restaurant is located on the Chow Yang side of SS2, Petaling Jaya. That being the case, parking is so much easier as you tend to easily find a place to park. In fact, we managed to get a bay right in front of this restaurant. 

Their menu specially focuses on their signature dishes and the prices seems very reasonable to me. Good variety of meats were on offer and they all seemed good. Ordering is done at your table and the waiters were very efficient. Only when it comes to paying the bill later on, that you would need to do at the cashier. 

Honey Lemon Ice @ RM 4.00

Lemon Grass With Lime @ RM 3.50

In a matter of minutes, the drinks were served. Both were quite average taste wise. I would not say that they were up to our expectation. Definitely it could have been better. My rating for these shall be 6/10. 

Char Siew (Small) @ RM 12.00

Their Char Siew was very good. It wasn't the lean type of meat and had lots of fat all over. This may not be to some people's liking and in that case, you could ask them for lean meat instead. If you do not mind the fat, then go for this as it was very tasty. My rating for this shall be 9/10.

Siew Yuk (Small) @ RM 12.00

Their Siew Yuk was another excellent one. Very crispy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside. This surely is one of the best that I have tasted too. This too shall earn a rating of 9/10. 

Wonton Mee @ RM 8.80

Clear Soup

Their Wonton Noodles were good. You can choose to have this with a variety of meat and we choose to have this with Char Siew. Besides Char Siew, they also add some fried lard to give it that extra crisp. My rating for this shall be 7/10. This also comes with a small bowl of clear soup and I really loved their soup. My rating for that shall be 9/10. 

Hakka Noodle @ RM 7.50

Their Hakka Noodles is quite famous and Time Out has also listed it as one of the best Hakka Noodles in the city. The minced meat was good and the flavours were just right. They had also added some fried lard and that definitely did boost the taste. My rating for this shall be 8/10. 

Fried Sui Kow @ RM 5.40

For me, their Fried Sui Kow was above average as I have tasted much better ones. However, what I liked about this was the non greasy texture despite being deep fried. Taste wise, I would give this 7/10. 

Numerous Write Ups

Our Bill

This restaurant definitely has some fantastic Char Siew and Siew Yuk and I would say that it is one of the best ones that you can get in Kuala Lumpur. Besides this, their Hakka Noodles and Wantan Noodles are also pretty good. Definitely a place that I would recommend.
