Restoran Good Taste Spicy Soup @ Seri Kembangan, Selangor

Restaurant Good Taste Spicy Soup is a famous Hakka Restaurant that had commenced business sometime late last year in Sri Kembangan. I just love Hakka food and it has been while since I last had some good Hakka food. When I heard about this restaurant from a friend, I had to make a trip here to satisfy my cravings. 

The Restaurant In Pusat Perniagaan Olive Hill

The Restaurant Located On The First Floor

This restaurant is located in Pusat Perniagaan Olive Hill which is close to Taman Bukit Serdang and they are located on the First Floor, right above Proton Edar. Parking is not too difficult here in the evenings but I am not too sure how it is during the day. We were at the restaurant at around 8 pm and they were running full house. The restaurant itself is not too large, perhaps with approximately 15 tables and we had to wait for 15 minutes before being allocated a table. I do see a lot of customers that make prior reservations and I believe that that is the best practice for this restaurant. They seem to be very popular and I was told that it is the same during lunch hours. 

Their menu is quite straightforward and it is good that they have photographs of the dishes as well. Being specialty Hakka dishes, the variety isn't as great as a day to day Chinese restaurant. Nevertheless, this is what we are here for right. Prices seemed reasonable to me as well but again, I would have to reaffirm this once I see the actual portions. A good thing about this place is the cleanliness and the speed at which the staffs attend to you. Both were really good.  

Chrysanthemum Tea @ RM 7.90

Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs @ RM 25.00

I loved the lovely looking pot that was used to serve the tea and it was served with class. The tea was good, high grade and had some very lovely flavours. My rating for this shall be 9/10. Their Sweet & Sour Pork is a top seller here and yes, they use Pork Ribs instead of the usual fatty meat. The base sauce was so good and they were generous with the add on's. Even the meat was so tender. 10/10 would be my rating for this dish. 

Claypot Pork Belly with Salt Fish @ RM 18.00

Ladies Finger with Pickled Vegetables @ RM 12.00

The next dish that we tried would be their Claypot Pork Belly with Salt Fish. Again, this was another excellent preparation that won our hearts. The Pork Belly had been very thinly sliced and the mix of meat and fat was just perfect. The amount of Salt Fish used was just right as well. 9/10 would be my rating for this dish. The next one that we tried was something very unique. Steamed Ladies Finger are topped with some pickled vegetables and you're supposed to stir the whole preparation to give it a bundled taste. And yes, it was good. My rating for this too shall be 9/10. 

Hakka Spicy Soup @ RM 16.00

Hakka Tau Fu Pok @ RM 13.00

Their Hakka Spicy Soup was another excellent one and perhaps that best that I have tasted till date at a restaurant. The mix of ingredients were fantastic and if you do not consume any specific part, please do let them know before hand. The spiciness was quite potent and the overall flavours were excellent. 10/10 would be my rating for this. Their Hakka Tau Fu Pok was good but I have tasted better ones. This, I would give it a 7/10.

Generally, we were very happy with the food and the prices were truly worth it. This is definitely one good place to visit if you're looking for good Hakka Food. Highly recommended and their Hakka Hot Soup is a must try.

I Love Broga @ Broga, Selangor

When you're in Broga, you should also visit this stall called I Love Broga. They are located right in the town centre, facing the police station. Their specialty is their Ais Kacang, Hakka Noodles as well as their Wantan Mee which is very unique.

Just A Humble Stall

The Signage To Look Out For

The place isn't anything much. Just a humble tent with some chairs and tables. Two preparation counters located on each end of the stall, one for the Ais Kacang which is most often prepared by the father and on the other end, the noodles kiosk which is manned by the sons. 

Their Menu is not limited to the above but these are their signature dishes. I always would go for their Dry Hakka Noodles but sadly they were sold out this afternoon. So we went for their Ais Kacang and their version of Wantan Mee which is prepared using Pan Mee. 

Wantan Mee (Small) @ RM 5.00

All Stirred Up

Clear Soup

Their Wantan Mee here is very unique as it is prepared using Pan Mee which is something that is quite rare. Another thing would be they would add both curry as well as soy sauce for the preparation thus giving it the extra flavours. Served hot and it comes with lots of Fish Cake and Fuchok. Along with that, a small bowl with clear soup is served as well. Simple dish but lovely flavours and my rating for this shall be 8/10. 

Ais Kacang @ RM 4.00

Super Good Preparation

Every time I visit Broga, this Ais Kacang is a must for me. They are very generous with the ingredients and it's not too sweet as well. Just nice and it's amazingly good for our weather. My rating for this shall be 9/10. 

If you're visiting Broga, do look out for this stall called I Love Broga. It's located right in the middle of town, opposite the Police Station. Three things to look out for here, their Ais Kacang, Dry Hakka Noodles and their very own unique Wantan Mee. The place is very basic with just a few tables but the food here is really something. 

Address: Jalan Kampung Tarun Broga, 71750 Lenggeng, Negeri Sembilan.

Broga ABC & Pan Mee @ Broga, Selangor

One of those places that is almost a mandatory place to visit in Broga is this ABC and Pan Mee stall. Previously, I had posted about the I Love Broga stall that is right opposite this stall and this time around, I shall be sharing information about Uncle Lim's Stall which is the more famous one. 

The Famous Broga ABC & Pan Mee Stall

A Market Like Seating

One would hardly be able to miss this place as this is the first one that you would see once you come into Broga. This stall is located right opposite the Broga Police Station and you could use that as the landmark. The seating is very much like those old wet markets. Despite it's humble appearance, the place is always crowded with customers. Right opposite this stall, you would see another stall selling the same items. That is the I Love Broga stall which I had blogged before. 

Soup Pan Mee

Soup Hakka Mee

The stall opposite specialises in Dry Hakka Pan Mee and this one does the soup version. Ingredients wise, I must confess that it came with generous mix of ingredients. There were black fungus, vegetables, minced meat, anchovies and the soup was so rich in flavours. Not only was the soup good, I felt that even the Pan Mee was very soft, fresh and tasty. My rating for this shall be 9/10. Definitely way better than any other Soup Pan Mee that I have tasted in Kuala Lumpur.

Ice Kacang

Though the Ice Kacang looks like it comes with only shaved ice and palm sugar, beneath there is a lot mere that is not visible here. But, I personally felt that the Ice Kacang from I Love Broga Stall was way better. This was nice but not great and they were quite stingy with the palm sugar. My rating for this shall be 7/10. 

This place has become so famous so much so people who visit Broga will make a mandatory stop here to taste the Pan Mee and ABC. For me, the Soup Pan Mee was awesome. But if you're looking for the real Hakka Pan Mee, I would recommend the stall opposite this one. Similarly, I felt that the less famous stall across the road does some better Ice Kacang. Overall, a good place to visit but the stall opposite them is surely better.

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.

Hakka Pork Ball Mee Stall @ Bandar Sri Damansara, Kuala Lumpur

Calling all Hakka Pork Ball Mee fans! If this is one of your favourite dishes, then you should give this stall a try. It's just a simple stall in a everyday Chinese coffee shop located in Bandar Sri Damansara. This restaurant called Restaurant Woh has a number of stalls that are quite famous, namely their Penang Prawn Mee stall and the Char Kuey Teow stall but little did I know that this Hakka Pork Ball Mee guy does serve some excellent noodles too. It was by chance that I decided to try his stall as I observed that there were many customers that were placing orders with him and the photographs of the dishes that were displayed looked pretty appetising as well. Before speaking further about this dish, let me give you the directions to this place. To give directions to this place can be quite tricky as there are so many entrances to Bandar Sri Damansara. But to keep it simple, once you see Mc Donalds on your right, turn right at the next traffic light and then turn right again. The first shop at the corner is Restoran Woh. Just follow the above directions and you can't go wrong. Parking is a hassle here and one would need to be prepared to walk quite a bit. 

The Hakka Pork Ball Mee Stall

With the number of orders that have been continuously coming in, the gentleman was quite busy preparing the dishes. Basically, there were just three different types of noodles to choose from and on his stall, he has placed the pictures and the prices for each one of those varieties. Generally across all the dishes, a small bowl is priced at RM 6.00  and a big bowl at RM 6.50 . Simple as that. I decided to go for the soup type as that requires an extra skill of perfecting the soup itself and that would be a fantastic gauge for me to judge. I then mentioned the dish, pointed at the table that I was sitting and back I was and in less than ten minutes, my order was served.

Hakka Pork Ball Noodles Soup @ RM 6.00 (Small)

When the dish arrived, it was such a beauty to look at. The noodles and the soup looked great and the minced pork, Taiwanese sausage and Pork Balls looked very inviting. Without wasting another minute, I started enjoying this bowl of goodness. 

Minced Pork Was Heavenly

Firstly, the soup itself was so good. There weren't any traces of MSG added to it as it would usually bring about a sudden urge to drink lots of water. That did not happen today and so, it's either very minimally added or none at all. Besides the soup, the minced pork was heavenly. I could order just a bowl of that and have it on it's own. 

One Of The Best Pork Balls That I Have Had

I wonder how he makes these Pork Balls. They were another delight and it was so delicious. Chewy, juicy and oh, it was just fantastic!

Taiwanese Sausages (Lap Cheong)

I wonder if he makes these as well as it was huge. Very much bigger compared to the ones that we get in the market and it wasn't as sweet with lesser lard. Tasted just perfect for this noodles. Again, another ingredient that I totally loved. 

In summary, this was a fantastic bowl of noodles and I would give this a 9/10. Each ingredient complemented each other so well and none were too bold for the base soup. I have tried the same dish many times over and none have come close to this. Definitely a place that I would recommend and it's worth travelling the distance.
