TeeKaapi Indian Cuisine @ Batu Caves, Selangor

TeeKaapi Indian Cuisine is a restaurant that is located in Eco Sky which is just beside Taman Wahyu, Batu Caves. What attracted me here is the fact that they serve Indian Style Shell Out and that too on Banana Leaf, the South Indian way. Having heard that such a thing is available here, we made it a point to drop by this evening.

The Restaurant in Eco Sky

Since this building is relatively new, parking is easily available as the commercial area is not fully taken up. Their set up is quite posh and the tables are nicely spaced out and that enables you to have conversations without being worried about being noisy. Besides that, private room is available too for private functions. 

Their menu has a mix of North and South Indian dishes and some fusion dishes. Vegetarian options are there but they are relatively limited. Prices seem reasonable for the concept. Since we had made our mind to go for the Shell Out, we did not take much time at looking at the other available options. 

Orange Cordial

White Rice

This shell out set is for four pax and therefore, it comes with four portions of white rice and four glasses of orange cordial. 

Indian Shell Out @ RM 100.00

This Indian Shell Out is available only on weekends and it priced at RM 100.00 per set. It comes with some fish, crabs, squid, shrimps, veggies, corn, chicken, mussels and clams. Please do prepared to wait as this preparation is made from scratch and would take some time. For me, that is good since everything would be fresh.

It is really rare to see this kind of Indian Shell Out and that too one that is being served on Banana Leaves. For me, it was a wonderful meal. The mix of fish, clams, mussels, shrimps, squid, crabs, chicken, veggies and corn that came in a mildly spicy sambal like preparation was just heavenly. It was so good and I wouldn't mind returning again for another round of excellent food. Do note that this is only available during the weekends and a set for four pax is priced at RM 100.00 . Excellent food and lovely ambiance.

Krishna Curry House @ Petaling Jaya, Selangor

Krishna Curry House is one of those South Indian Restaurants in Petaling Jaya that needs no introduction. For many years, they were located along Jalan 222 and a few years back, they had moved to this present restaurant that is located along Jalan SS9A/19, Seri Setia. After a long sabbatical, I am back here for lunch this afternoon. 

The Restaurant in Seri Setia

Banana Leaf Rice Meal

As usual, it has always got to be Banana Leaf Rice when we are here. At some point it time, the quality declined and that was the reason why we stopped coming. Recently I heard from a friend that they are back to what they were and that's how we ended up here this afternoon. Parking is relatively easy and another thing that I like here is the speedy service.

Good Spread Of Vegetables

Chicken Curry

Sambar

The basic Banana Leaf Rice Meal comes with three vegetables, Pudina Chutney, Mango Pickles, Pickled Chilli and free flow of curries. I would say that the spread was good and the veggies were fresh and tasty. My rating for their veggies shall be 8/10. Both their Sambar and Chicken Curry were excellent. Rich in flavours and very generous with the spices. These definitely deserve a rating of 9/10. 

Claypot Mutton

Claypot Chicken

Their Claypot Chicken and Claypot Mutton are top sellers here and their Claypot Mutton specifically has been my all time favourite. In fact, I do come back each time specifically for this preparation. Both are so good and they come in some really thick curry. Pricey but it's totally worth it. My rating for both shall be 10/10. 

Crabs

Nandu Rasam (Crab Rasam)

Bru Coffee

We were really in the mood for a feast and I was so glad that the food quality was back to what it used to be. We then added two crabs and that too was fantastic. It was served in some gravy and we totally loved it. My rating for their Crab Curry shall be 9/10. We also had some Nandu Rasam and finally wrapped up the meal with some Bru Coffee. Their Nandu Rasam deserves a rating of 9/10 and the same goes to their Bru Coffee. In total, two Banana Leaf Rice Meals plus the rest cost us just under RM 100.00 which I felt to be a pretty good deal. 

Everything that we tried this afternoon, the Banana Leaf Rice Meal, Claypot Mutton, Claypot Chicken, Crabs and Nandu Rasam, each were excellent in their own way. Even the basic curries were superb and their prices are totally worth it, not that I would say that they are expensive. This is surely an excellent place to visit for a hearty Banana Leaf Rice Meal.

Fat Boss Fish Ball @ Kajang, Selangor

Fat Boss Fish Ball is a place in Bandar Teknologi Kajang that is very famous for their Fish Balls and noodles. Despite being very close to where I am, I only got to know about them recently and here I am this morning for breakfast. 

The Restaurant Located Along Jalan 1/10, Taman Teknologi Kajang

Lots Of Newspaper Write Ups On The Walls

Cutlery & Sauces

This place is open for breakfast till lunch and my recommendation would be to come early since they sell out very fast. During peak hours, you would have to wait in line for a table. I was here around 10.00 am and even then, the place was crowded. As you can see, they have been highlighted so many times in many of the local newspapers. In fact, they have been even interviewed on TV, that's how famous this place is. 

Mee Hoon Soup + Extra Fried Pork @ RM 8.30

Depending on the type of noodles that you order, it comes with a fixed number of add on's. Of course, if this isn't enough, you could always add more. For example, I added extra Fried Pork which you can see and that cost me an extra RM 2.00. 

Tasty Soup

Excellent Fish Balls

Heavenly Fried Pork

Their Soup was just awesome and it's quite difficult to find soup that is this good. Their Fish Balls are handmade and that is clearly seen from the inconsistent shape. The Fish Balls were so soft and it had a fishy taste which is good. It clearly shows that they have been using generous amount of fish instead of adding it with flour. Their Fried Pork was just so good too. Overall, I would rate this dish at 10/10. 

Iced Coffee @ RM 2.20

Their Iced Coffee was excellent as well. It had the authentic flavours of those that you would find at those old school Hainanese Restaurants. My rating for this shall be 9/10. 

This is definitely one of the best Mee Hoon Soup that I have had. Despite being a simple soup, it had such lovely flavours. Their Fish Balls were handmade and they were very generous with the ratio of meat and flour. Their Fried Pork is a must try too. Truly, one of the best noodle dishes that I had come across.

Go Noodle House @ Cyberjaya, Selangor

Go Noodle House is a chain of restaurants that have a number of restaurants located across the Klang Valley. Despite being quite famous for their Homemade Spicy Soup Noodles, I have never got the opportunity to visit any one of their outlets. The good thing is that they are now open in Cyberjaya as well and their outlet is located on the Ground Floor of D'Pulze Shopping Centre. 

The Outlet Located On The Ground Floor

Lovely Space Management

Sauces, Cutlery etc.

If I am not mistaken, there are only a handful of non Halal restaurants in D'Pulze Shopping Centre and this restaurant is one of them. Despite serving non Halal food, the crowd that was there during lunch hour on a weekday was quite encouraging. The entire set up is very organised, right from order taking to space management. Even, all that one may need like sauces, cutlery, tissues are all placed on each and every table, 

The above are just a few pages from their menu. Their specialty here is their Soup Noodles and they come in two broth types, Superior Soup and Homemade Spicy Soup with Vinegar. Ordering is quite straightforward, just go through the menu and write your orders on the chit provided and pass it to the waiter once done. Upon collection of the chit, he would run through your orders with you just to make sure and off it goes into the system. As you can see from their menu, besides this outlet in Cyberjaya, they also have branches in Damansara Utama, SS2, Sri Petaling and Bukit Tinggi Klang. 

Go Snow Pear Drink @ RM 4.25

Homemade Spicy Soup Noodles with Vinegar and Pork Balls @ RM 11.70

I ordered their Go Snow Pear Drink which is something that I am trying for the very first time. The drink was good, really good and it had a cooling effect to the body. My rating for this drink shall be 9/10. As for the main dish, I went for their Homemade Spicy Soup Noodles with Vinegar and Pork Balls.

Rice Vermicelli 

Delicious Broth

Pork Balls

Firstly, you could choose the type of noodles that you would like to have and they have a choice of a few noodle varieties and I went for their Rice Vermicelli. The soup itself was quite spicy and the touch of vinegar gave it a sour aftertaste. I have tasted this kind of preparation elsewhere before and this one tops them all. The soup was so authentic and clearly it did not have any artificial flavourings. Another one that you must try here is their Pork Balls. Actually, you can choose from their Fish Balls, Bursting Meat Balls and Pork Balls and I went for the latter since I prefer that. This Pork Balls was really good and the meat was fresh and surprisingly somewhat soft. In total, it was such an amazing dish and my rating for this preparation shall be 9/10. 

If you're looking for a good place to have some Spicy Noodles, I would recommend visiting Go Noodle House that is located in Cyberjaya. Besides Cyberjaya, they also have outlets in Damansara Utama, SS2, Sri Petaling and Bukit Tinggi Klang. Their signature dish which is the Homemade Spicy Soup Noodles with Vinegar and Pork Balls was simply awesome. Very authentic flavours and it was so satisfying. Excellent service, very good food and reasonable prices.

Sate Kampung Baung @ Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor

Restoran Sate Kampung Baung is actually located quite close to Kajang, Selangor but since they sit at the border, their address comes under Bangi. Nevertheless, if you plan to come here, it's to exit at Kajang. 

Sate Kampung Baung In Seksyen 7, Bandar Baru Bangi

Outdoor Seating Area and Char Kuey Teow Area

Order Chit

Despite Kajang being a town that is quite famous for Sate, the recipe here differs to the rest. Their original outlet is in Kelantan and they replicate the very same recipe here. Besides Sate, they are also famous for their Char Kuey Teow but I have not tried that yet. Ordering is quite straightforward, they have order chits on each table. Just fill in the numbers and pass it to any one of the waiters, and your order will be delivered shortly. We were here for an early dinner and even then, the number of customers looked good. 

Fresh Orange & Teh O Ais

Chicken Sate, Mutton Sate & Nasi Impit

Peanut Dip

It didn't take them very long to send the orders over. We ordered a glass of Fresh Orange and another glass of Teh O Ais. Both drinks were decent and my rating for both shall be 8/10. Their Peanut Dip was on the oily side and the peanuts itself were coarse. Taste wise, it wasn't sweet and it was more on the spicy side. Very different to the rest of the Peanut Sauce that we get in Kajang. My rating for this shall be 8/10. 

Mutton Sate

Chicken Sate

Nasi Impit

Both the Chicken and Mutton Sate were very different to the Kajang style of preparation. Since this recipe is from Kelantan, it is good to see that they have not localised it and still prepare it the way it is done back home. Both the sate's were quite dry, there were a lot more spices used and generally it was on the spicy side. Even their Nasi Impit comes in banana leaves and has a slightly different texture to it. If you're looking for a Sate that's different to the ones that we get in this side of Peninsular Malaysia, I would recommend giving this one a try. Pricey, unique but tasty.
