Restoran Yap Yin & Bak Kut Teh @ Seri Kembangan, Selangor

This evening, we were looking for a new place to have dinner and since Seri Kembangan was a place that we had been recently targeting, we decided on relying on Google to suggest another good restaurant for dinner. It was then this restaurant came about and it seemed to have lot's of positive reviews. 

The Restaurant Along Jalan Sekolah

Indoor & Outdoor Seats Available

Full House This Evening

This restaurant is located in Seri Kembangan New Village. If you know where the famous Curry Mee stall is in Seri Kembangan, this restaurant is just a few doors away. Parking is not really organised here and you could very much park along the side of the road. This restaurant is open from 1130 am till 1000 pm daily. We were here at around 8 pm and being peak hours, the restaurant was full house. The good thing here is that they have a huge dining space and the entire indoor seating area is air-conditioned. Although the name mentions Bak Kut Teh, they actually have all that you would get in a Chinese Seafood Restaurant and that includes mangrove crabs as well. Since there were just the two of us, there was a limit as to what we could order and we decided to try they Bak Kut Teh and another signature dish. 

Bak Kut Teh (1 pax) @ RM 15.00

Good Mix Of Ingredients

Since Bak Kut Teh is one of the famous dishes here, we decided to try for one pax and I felt that the portion was quite huge. It came with a reasonable mix of pork (your choice of cuts), Tofu and Enoki Mushrooms in a medium bodied tea. The meat cut was good and it was fresh. The tea however could have been better. My rating for this dish would be 7/10. 

Sang Yu @ RM 30.00

This Sliced Deboned Haruan Fish Steamed with Essence of Chicken and Soy Sauce is a signature dish here. For the portion, theorise is definitely very reasonable since Haruan itself is pretty costly these days. I found the preparation to be really good and it was great that they had deboned the fish. The base sauce was heavenly as well. A dish that I would highly recommend and my rating for this dish shall be 9/10. 

Bill For The Evening

Although this place is known as a Bak Kut Teh restaurant, they do serve all the dishes that you would generally find in a Chinese Seafood restaurant, and that includes crabs as well. Their Bak Kut Teh was decent and the highlight of the evening was their Steamed Haruan Fish in Essence of Chicken which is a signature dish here. That was something that we totally enjoyed and their prices are quite reasonable. The latter is definitely a dish that I would highly recommend.

HOMST Recipe @ Cyberjaya, Selangor

HOMST Recipe is a Halal Chinese restaurant in Cyberjaya that had made a name for itself. This restaurant is located inside D'Pulze Mall and attracts both Muslim and non Muslim crowd. I have heard a lot about this restaurant but never got a chance to dine there. This evening, I made it a point to visit them for dinner. 

The Restaurant In D'Pulze Mall

Variety Of Halal Dim Sum

Besides the single dish meals as well as a huge variety of dishes that they have, this restaurant also takes pride is serving some excellent Halal Dim Sum as well. The prices are slightly premium but from those that have tasted their Dim Sum, I was told that they were pretty good. This evening, there were only the two of us and that being the case, we did not want to go for many dishes and decided to have two single dish meals. Their menu is pretty comprehensive and I like the way that they have presented their dishes in the menu. Very systematic in approach. The waiters too are quite friendly and speedy to attend to your needs.  

Hot Barley @ RM 2.80

Iced Tea @ RM 2.50

Both the drinks arrived in a matter of minutes from the time of order. Both drinks were good and I find the prices to be reasonable for an air-conditioned restaurant. My rating for both shall be 8/10. 

Fried Kuey Teow @ RM 11.00

Sizzling Yee Mee @RM13.00

I found their Fried Kuey Teow to be good. It had the right mix of ingredients and it even came with some Fried Fish Keropok on the sides. Since we had asked for extra spicy, they had added a lot of bird eye chilies as well. A good preparation that deserves a rating of 8/10. Their Sizzling Yee Mee was very good. Everything was just right about that dish. Right from the crispy noodles to the broth, it was all perfect and my rating for this dish shall be 9/10. 

Our Bill

HOMST Recipe does serve some excellent Halal Chinese Food. If you're in Cyberjaya, I would recommend giving this place a try. Excellent variety, lovely ambiance and speedy service. Their Halal Dim Sum's are a top seller as well.

D' Cafe & Catering Services @ Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Kuala Lumpur

This morning, I was in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Kuala Lumpur for a meeting and once done, I was looking around for. place to have breakfast. That was when I came across this food court that is located at the Lower Ground Floor of Wisma Sun Life Malaysia which many years ago used to be known as Wisma Maran. 

Entrance To The Food Court 

The Menu

It was a relatively huge food court but sadly, there was only one operator there. It is definitely good that they are running it like a canteen but having had more operators would only mean more food choices. The breakfast spread was the typical choices. Noodles, Nasi Lemak etc and they seemed to be very reasonably priced. This place is pretty much a self service canteen and that applies to even the drinks pick up. 

Teh Ais @ RM 1.50

Fried Kuey Teow with Sambal Belacan @ RM 1.80

II ordered a glass of Iced Tea and it was reasonably priced at RM 1.50 . Taste wise, it was nothing much to shout about and my rating for that drink would be 6/10. Their Fried Kuey Teow however was better but it was a tad too oily for me. Another setback here is the air-conditioning that is just too cold and because of that, the food was also pretty cold. Taste wise, I would rate this plate of Fried Kuey Teow at 6/10. Reasonable prices however the food could have been better.

Kung Fu Restaurant @ Cyberjaya, Selangor

Kung Fu Restaurant is one of those few Chinese Restaurants in Cyberjaya that serves non Halal food. They are located on the 4th Floor (P3A) of Shaftsbury Square which is located quite close to MDEC building. I have always wanted to visit this restaurant but never had the right company. Today seemed just perfect as I had someone with me who very much enjoys non Halal food and that being the case, we decided on giving this place a try. 

Kung Fu Restaurant

This restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating areas. Their waiters are mostly foreigners and at times, communication seemed to be a problem. Otherwise, their service levels are pretty good. The overall ambiance and cleanliness was good too. 

The above are just a few pages from their menu and they seem to have a comprehensive menu. Prices of the one dish meals seems to be reasonable but those single dishes are definitely premium prices. Nevertheless, being one of the few non Halal options in Cyberjaya, the prices seem acceptable. Moreover, they do have a handful of specialty dishes which are quite famous as well

Barley In Wonderland @ RM 4.50

Claypot Peanut Spare Ribs @ RM 17.00

Barley In Wonderland is pretty much hot Barley with some Fu Chok. The concoction was good and it wasn't too sweet. The thickness was just right as well. My rating for this shall be 8/10. Their Claypot Peanut Spare Ribs tasted very much like Bak Kut Teh. A very blend of broth and it was pretty tasty. I enjoyed that broth very much and the ribs too were meaty. Another dish that deserves a rating of 8/10. 

Minced Pork HongKong Choy Sam @ RM 15.00

Preserved Vegetable & Pork Belly @ RM 15.90

Bitter Gourd Spare Ribs Soup @ RM 8.90

Minced Pork with Hong Kong Choy Sam was another dish that was lovely. The minced pork itself had some amazing flavours and the veggie was delicious as well. As a total dish, it truly had some wonderful flavours. 8/10 shall be my rating for this dish. Preserved Vegetable & Pork Belly was extremely good. The entire dish come with just the right ingredients and they all played their part in boosting the taste of this dish. Definitely a dish that I would highly recommend. My rating for this shall be 9/10. Their Bitter Gourd Spare Ribs Soup was another excellent preparation. The Bitter Gourd did not overpower the flavours and the ribs were chunky and juicy. Another one that I would rate at 9/10.  

Our Bill For The Evening

If you're looking for a good Cantonese restaurant in Cyberjaya, I would recommend Kung Fu Restaurant. They have a huge variety on their menu and some of their specialty dishes are really good. Speedy services as well.

KLIA Fei Lou Wan Tan Mee @ Sepang, Selangor

KLIA Fei Lou Wan Tan Mee is a very famous stall that draws customers from afar. They have been on my list of must visit places for a while now. It is due to the location and timing that I was never able to visit them. This morning, we made it a point to have breakfast at this stall and head out early to KLIA. 

Downtown KLIA

The Stall Becomes Crowded During Lunch

The Humble Stall

Price List

This stall is located inside Chatterfield area and it is also known as Downtown KLIA. It's not difficult to find this stall. You could use either Google Maps or Waze and they would accurately bring you to the doorstep. It is best to come early as their food tends to get sold out very quickly. For example, if you come during lunch hours, you would be surprised that you may need to wait for a long time before even being able to find a place to sit. That is the kind of business that this humble stall deals with on a daily basis. We were here at around 10.30 am and the place was already reasonably crowded. The majority of their customers at that hour were taxi drivers. As it neared 11.30 am, we could see the sudden increase of customers and by 12 noon, they were literally full house. 

Iced Coffee

Siew Yuk

Their Iced Coffee was truly marvellous. It was so good, so much so, the both of us had three glasses each. That was how good it was. So perfectly crafted and it would definitely be one that I would rate at 10/10. Another preparation that is in high demand at this stall would be their Siew Yuk. This again was just perfect. The tender and juicy meat complimented well with the crispy crust and it was heavenly. This is something that definitely deserves a rating of 9/10. 

Wan Tan Mee with Char Siew

Dumplings In Clear Soup

The top seller here is of course their Wan Tan Mee and this you could have with either Char Siew, Siew Yuk or even Chicken on the sides. Along with this, comes a small bowl of dumplings in clear soup. The Wan Tan Mee truly was really good. I loved the springy egg noodles and they were very generous with the sauces. This also comes with some beansprouts on the sides. I would rate their Wan Tan Mee at 9/10. Their Char Siew is a little on the fatty side. So, if you do not like yours to be fatty, then I would suggest switching it with their Siew Yuk or Chicken. My rating for their Char Siew would be 7/10. The Dumplings were again pretty good and that too deserves a rating of 9/10. 

KLIA Fei Lou Wan Tan Mee is a stall that truly lives up to it's reputation. Their Wan Tan Mee is so good so much so customers come seeking for this dish from afar. The place is mostly crowded and do be prepared to stand in line before even getting a place to sit. My recommendation would be to come early for breakfast as then you get to avoid the queue. Another must try here would be their Siew Yuk and Iced Coffee. Truly amazing ones.

Restoran Basil Leaves @ Kajang, Selangor

Restoran Basil Leaves is a very popular South Indian Restaurant in Kajang. I have blogged about this restaurant numerous times. Despite that, whenever I come across a unique dish that I feel that I should share, I would always come up with another blog entry. This evening, my entry is about another very good dish that I had recently tried at this restaurant. 

Nice Design And Clean

This restaurant occupies two shop lots and they are fully air-conditioned. One thing that I very much like about this restaurant is the variety that they have on their menu. The other thing would be the cleanliness. Of course, prices are not cheap and at the same time, I won't deem them to be expensive too. Very affordable and they are truly worth it. 

Mutton Fried Rice @ RM 12.50

Very Generous With The Mutton

This is the first time that I am trying their Mutton Fried Rice and I found it to be quite impressive. For RM 12.50 , the portions were huge and they were very generous with the mutton. The Fried Rice was spicy and it has some very bold flavours. Being a mutton fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this dish and my rating for this dish shall be 8/10. 

Bri Coffee @ RM 2.60

After a delicious meal, having a cup of Bru Coffee is a must and this again is a drink that is perfectly fixed at this restaurant. This definitely deserves a rating of 9/10. 

My Bill For The Day

If you're a fan of mutton, I would recommend giving their Mutton Fried Rice a try. It's a mildly spicy dish and comes with lots of mutton and spices. Their price may be slightly on the high side but it is truly worth it. Highly recommended.

Kopitiam 80 Restaurant @ Bandar Saujana Putra, Selangor

Kopitiam 80 Restaurant is a relatively new restaurant that had recently commenced business in Bandar Saujana Putra. This restaurant is located on the new side of Bandar Saujana Putra which is closer to MAHSA University. 

The Restaurant Located Along Jalan SP 1/2

Stir Fry Stall

During the day, there are many other stalls that are open and the main operators does Chinese Mixed Rice variety. In the evening, there are only a handful of stalls that are open. We were here quite late and it was almost 10 pm. At that hour, even the other stalls had closed off for the day and the only stall that was open was this stall that you could see in the above photograph. Since we were already here, we decided to give this stall a try. They do have the usual single dishes as well but we decided to go for a couple of dishes since we were quite hungry. 

Egg Fu Yong @ RM 7.00

Ginger & Onions Stir Fried Chicken @ RM 13.00

It wasn't too long a wait since there were not many customers at that hour and the dishes arrived pretty fast. The first one to be served was the Egg Fu Yong which was priced at RM 7.00 . The preparation was decent and it came with a number of commonly found ingredients. Not too oily as well and it was to our liking. I would rate this dish at 8/10. The next dish to arrive was the Ginger & Onions Stir Fried Chicken and this was priced at RM 13.00 . To be honest, the preparation looked a little off as we were expecting the dry version. This one came with lots of sauces and the chicken bits seemed to be floating there. Taste wise, the broth was quite bland and close to being tasteless. The chicken bits too were not crisp. My rating for this dish shall be 3/10. 

Salted Egg Squid @ RM 13.00

Sweet & Sour Pork @ RM 13.00

The Salted Egg Squid was another dish that I felt that was off. It was too soggy and the cuttlefish had to be crisp and here, that was just not the case. It totally lacked the crunch that it should have had. I would only give this dish 5/10. Their Sweet& Sour Pork was better. Not to say that it was great, but it was better than the last two dishes. Again, the crunch that should have come from the pork was lacking but the sauces saved the dish. My rating for this shall be 7/10. 

We tried the stall that is open in the evenings at this restaurant and to be honest, the food was just so so. There was not one dish that captivated us and the majority of the dishes that we had tried was way below our expectations.
