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.

Broga Recreational Fishing Park @ Broga, Selangor

One of my cousins were down this afternoon and he was looking for a very different kind of place to go for lunch. That was when I had proposed Broga Recreational Fishing Park because I was certain that he had not visited this place before and as such, it would surely be an experience to remember for him. Having sold him the idea of having lunch in a farm, we head down to Broga. In terms of directions, it would be quite difficult for me to precisely say and the place is not listed in Waze as well. Most importantly, there's no internet connection as you come close to this place. So, here's the directions for you. Firstly, set your destination at University of Nottingham on your GPS and get yourself there. Once you come to Nottingham, keep driving straight all the way. Even if it seems like you're in the middle of nowhere, just keep driving and you'd come to the town of Broga. From here, continue straight and you'd see a lot of seafood restaurant on both sides of the road. Once you come to an intersection which marks the border of Selangor - Negeri Sembilan, naturally the road will turn right but you keep driving straight. There would be the famous Dato Bak Chinese Temple with a small lane on the left which says road closes at 7 pm. Take that road and keep driving. At this point, you'd loose handphone signals but don't worry. Shortly, you would once again see lots of huge Chinese farm like restaurants on both sides. Keep driving till the last restaurant which is this Broga Recreational Fishing Park which would be on your left.

All Dishes Are Cooked This Way

There's nothing fancy about this place. It's a shack like set up in the middle of the farm. All dishes are cooked in aluminium foils by being placed over charcoal fire. Nevertheless, the food is extremely good here and prices are reasonable. 

The Menu

In terms of menu, what you see above is what they have here. Pretty much it's a fish dish, mutton, vegetables and prawns cooked with a variety of sauces. The style of preparation i.e. the sauces is one that you could choose from. 

Teochew Style Fish with Spicy Soy Bean Paste @ RM 23.00

Dried Chili Mutton @ RM 16.00

All the dishes that I have shared in today's entry are their signature dishes. In terms of fish, I have tasted a variety of their preparation and my favourite is the above Teochew Style Fish with Spicy Soy Bean Paste that is priced at RM 23.00 . The fish is wonderfully cooked and the flavours goes deep into the meat. The sauce itself tastes amazingly good and my rating for this shall be 9/10. Dried Chili Mutton is also one of our favourites and I prefer this style over their Curry Mutton. It is just amazing to see how they could make the meat so tender and the accompanying ingredients just goes so well with the dish. 8/10 would be my rating for this dish. 

Mixed Vegetables @ RM 8.00

Tomyam Prawns @ RM 45.00

Their Mixed Vegetable dish is another one that I would highly recommend. The vegetable is just so tasty and they are able to bring out the natural juices making it heavenly. It's just so sweet and nice. 10/10 would be my rating for this dish. The last one that we had this afternoon is their Tomyam Prawns which was priced at RM 45.00 . Pretty decent portions but I would prefer their Rice Wine & Ginger Prawns better. This was good but not as good as that. My rating for this shall be 7/10. 

Fancy dining in the farm with freshly caught seafood cooked according to their signature styles? Then, this would be a fantastic place for your to visit. Despite being in Broga which is a 'Grilled Fish' heaven, it's not too far a drive from Kuala Lumpur. Prices have gone up but I would still consider them a good bargain compared to the city. Food is definitely good. If you have not been here yet, then it's totally worth the drive ad experience.

Restoran Curry Leaf @ Seremban, Negeri Sembilan

Restoran Curry Leaf is one of the very famous South Indian restaurants in Seremban. I have been here many years back, perhaps that was sometime when they had first opened this restaurant and the food was pretty good. If you're wondering that the name sound familiar, yes, they also have another outlet which was opened much later in Damansara Utama. Having had some very good food here years back, I decided to drop by for lunch hoping that the quality would be consistent. 

The Restaurant Located Along Jalan Rasah

My Lunch @ RM 8.50

The place was reasonably crowded when we arrived. We were not in the mood for a Banana Leaf Rice Meal and decided to go for the plate. Their variety on offer was good and it seemed to be selling fast as well. I went for some rice, Thannichaar, Potato Brinjal Stir Fried, Sura Puttu (Meen Varai), Chicken Perattal and a glass of Rasam. This lot was very reasonably priced at RM 8.50 . For the variety that I had taken, I would say that their prices are quite cheap. 

Thannichaar

Potato & Brinjals Stir Fried

Unfortunately, their Thannichaar was just okay. I felt that taste wise it was rather bland and lacked the flavours that I had expected. My rating for this shall be 6/10. Their Potato & Brinjals Stir Fried however was good. Not too greasy and the masala was just right. I would rate the latter at 8/10. 

Sura Puttu (Meen Varai)

Chicken Perattal

Their Sura Puttu was again nice. The fish was soft and the anticipated flavours were intact. I would rate this at 7/10. Their Chicken Perattal had the right blend of spices and the gravy was thick. However, it was a tad too salty and that put me off. As for their Chicken Perattal, I would rate this at 4/10. 

Rasam

Iced Moor @ RM 2.40

Their Rasam was good, I mean really good and I loved the bold flavours. Absolutely perfect to have just after the meal. My rating for this shall be 9/10. Similarly, their Iced Moor was good too. RM 2.40 for a glass which I felt was quite reasonable. Again, 9/10 shall be my rating for this drink. 

After almost a decade, I returned hoping for the very same taste but unfortunately, I am not able to say that all that I had tasted this afternoon was good. Some were good, some were decent and some could have been better. Prices were reasonable though and their service levels were efficient.

Restoran Asia Laksa @ Seremban, Negeri Sembilan

This morning, we were in search of a good place to have breakfast in Seremban and after doing some read up on social media, it seems that this restaurant called Restoran Asia Laksa is a favourite place for the locals to have their Curry Mee fix. The reviews were so good and it is seems that this place does the best Curry Mee in Seremban. With such kind of reviews, how could we miss this place. Immediately we drove towards Taman Senawang Jaya where this restaurant is located. 

The Restaurant Located In Taman Senawang

Crowded With Customers

Prices of The Dishes

To prove what we had read on the Internet, the place was actually crowded and people were seen standing in line for a table. Not only that, you have to stand in line again to place your orders and we were told that it may take a very long time. Usually, the waiting time here from the point of order till the dish is served is approximately one hour and that is exactly the time that it took us this morning. From the time of order, we had to wait for an hour and only then, the dishes arrived. It follows a stringent queue system and even if you're doing take aways, you'd had to wait that long until your turn arrives. 

Iced Milo

Iced Coffee

Their drinks arrived pretty fast as it is prepared by another person. Both the Iced Milo as well as Iced Coffee were good and my rating for them shall be 8/10. 

Curry Mee (Big) @ RM 6.30

Thick Delicious Curry

Finally, after the long wait, the dishes were served. They have two sizes. The smaller one is priced at RM 5.00 per bowl and the bigger one is priced at RM 6.30 per bowl. The one that you see above is the bigger one and the portion was really huge. The curry was very thick unlike the usual ones that you would commonly get and it came with huge chunks of curried chicken, some Char Siew, a whole hard boiled egg and some Tofu. For the price, I would have to agree that it was generous and taste wise, it was something very different. We would all be used to the more diluted version of Curry Mee and for a change, this was good. My rating for this dish shall be 9/10. 

Dry Curry Noodles(Small) @ RM 5.00

All Mixed Up

They also have the Dry Curry Noodles and this too was truly fantastic. It came with curried chicken, minced pork and some Char Siew and as a total dish, it was just fantastic. Very unique and again, generous portions. My rating for this preparation shall be 9/10 as well. 

One of the places in Seremban that came highly recommended on social media for their Curry Mee is Restoran Asia Laksa. Don't be surprised to see huge crowd here and the average waiting time before you can be served would be approximately an hour. Their Curry Mee is something that is very unique and comes with some extra thick gravy. Similarly, their Dry Curry Noodles were pretty good as well. A very different kind of preparation that would give you an unique experience. Definitely worth trying.

Restoran Sin Yit Sing @ Seremban,Negeri Sembilan

We wanted to have a good Chinese Seafood meal and when I checked in Google as well as Foursquare, everyone was voting for this restaurant called Restoran Sin Yik Sing which is located in Taman AST, Seremban. There was not a single bad comment and each and every review was praising their crab dish. However, everyone one of them also said that this place is relatively pricey but since the food is good, they don't mind paying and patronising this restaurant every now and then. We too did not mind paying slightly higher prices as long as the food was good. And with Waze's help, we managed to arrive at the destination with ease.

This restaurant occupies two shop lots and they seem to be very popular among the locals. We were here quite late in the evening, close to 10 pm and even then, the crowd was very encouraging. Their menu is very organised and they have included photographs of the dishes and the prices are clearly spelled. Seasonal items, they inform you the price at the point of ordering before confirming the order which I found to be an excellent practice. This would surely avoid any dispute that can come about when the bill is presented. Overall, their prices are definitely premium but looking at the crowd and the reviews, we were confident that the food has also got to be good. 

Fried Mee Hoon with Clams @ RM 21.20

Kam Heong Fish Head @ RM 42.40

Both the above dishes are Signature dishes here and we wanted to try them both. Their Fried Mee Hoon with Clams was priced at RM 21.20 which I found to be quite reasonable looking at the portions. The dish was really good and the flavours were just amazing. The spices that had been added into the noodles had seeped  in well into the clams and that overall taste was excellent. 9/10 shall be my rating for this. The second dish, Kam Heong Fish Head was absolutely mind blowing. If you love Fish Head, you have got to try this preparation. Something unique that I have not come across elsewhere. It was so juicy and the spiciness that came from the sambal as well as the bird eye chilies were just amazing. The Fish Head had been fried to a crisp as well and it was so addictive and heavenly. If you are a fan of Fish Head, this dish is a must try. 10/10 would be my rating for this dish. 

Marmite Crabs (1.1 Kg) @ RM 110.77

The Homemade Specialty Sauce That Goes With The Crabs

The Mangrove Crabs were priced at RM 100.70 per Kg and since our dish came to 1.1 Kg, it was priced at RM 110.77 . Not to say that very expensive too. The preparation was heavenly. You have got to try this Marmite Crabs as it was too good. They have their own homemade sauce that goes with the crabs and after adding a dash of that, you would just be in cloud nine. A highly recommended dish and my rating for this shall be 10/10. 

Based on the vote of the locals on social media as well as the dishes that we had tried this evening, this is definitely one of the best Chinese Seafood Restaurants in Seremban. Their Fried Noodles with Clams, Kam Heong Fish Head as well as their Marmite Crabs with their own homemade dip sauce were just heavenly. I wouldn't even mind just driving down to Seremban one evening just for this lovely food as it was absolutely worth it. Slightly premium prices but amazing food.

Haji Shariff Cendol @ Seremban, Negeri Sembilan

When you're visiting Seremban, another good restaurant that should not be missed would be Haji Shariff Cndol which is located along Jalan Yam Tuan, quite close to the intersection of Jalan Nunis. This restaurant is open from Saturday till Thursday, from 10.30 am till 6 pm. 

The Present Restaurant Located Along Jalan Yam Tuan, Seremban

Brief History Seen At The Restaurant

This restaurant has been at numerous locations in Seremban and this is clearly seen at the restaurant where they have displayed the how this restaurant had evolved to it's present state from it's humble beginnings. Business has been very good and most times, you would have to queue up to collect your Cendol and Rojak. 

Prices Of Dishes

Wait In Line At Both Stations

They occupy two shop lots, and the Rojak counter is in one unit and the Cendol station is at the other unit. It is purely a self service restaurant as that is the best way to cope with the crowd. Even today, not only the queue's were long, but we had to wait a while before even getting a place to sit. Prices are very reasonable and it's truly worth the wait. 

Cendol Biasa @ RM 1.50

All Stirred Up

They have a variety of Cendol to choose from and what you see above is their Cendol Biasa which is very reasonably priced at RM 1.50 . Very decent portions and it is a taste to remember. Truly one of the best Cendol's that I have tasted. If you're in Seremban, visiting Haji Shariff Cendol is a must.
