Indian Food Stall in Choy Kee Restaurant @ Damansara Jaya, Petaling Jaya

Choy Kee Restaurant is located in Damansara Jaya, Petaling Jaya and they are usually open from breakfast to lunch. During the day, it's mainly Chinese hawker food. Recently, they had started operating at nights as well and this starts from 6 pm onwards till around midnight. In the evening, the only stall operating would be an Indian stall selling South Indian food.

The Indian Food Stall

My Meal @ RM 5.00

There's a decent variety of vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes and they seemed pretty okay to me. Prices are definitely reasonable. I had some rice, Chicken Curry, Chicken Perattal, Long Beans Perattal and a piece of Kicap Tofu and this lot was priced at RM 5.00 only. 

Chicken Curry

Kicap Tofu

Chicken Curry was decent. I had a decent amount of spices and wasn't the watery type. My rating for this shall be 7/10. The Kicap Tofu was a tad too salty. Would have been better if they had reduced the amount of salt. Otherwise, it was fresh. My rating for this shall be 6/10. 

Chicken Perattal

Long Beans Perattal

Teh O Ais @ RM 1.50

The Long Beans Perattal was also a tad too salty and a little overdone. My rating for this shall be 6/10. Their Chicken Perattal however was good. Lot's of masala used and the chunks were meaty. I would rate their Chicken Perattal at 8/10. Teh O Ais was good as well and my rating for this shall be 9/10. 

For a decent South Indian dinner in Damansara Jaya, you might want to check out this stall that is located in Choy Kee Restaurant. They are open daily from 6 pm till around midnight  and they have both vegetarian and non vegetarian options. Prices are reasonable and I loved the warm reception.

Campur Campur Kitchen @ Cyberjaya, Selangor

Campur Campur Kitchen is a restaurant that is quite famous in Cyberjaya. This restaurant is located on the Upper Ground Floor of DPulze Mall which is located along Persiaran Multimedia, just a stone throws away from Multimedia University. 

Busy During Peak Hours

Hong Kong Style Tea @ RM 5.57

If you are here during peak hours, you would need to wait a while as the place tends to be full house rather quickly. The restaurant itself does not have a very large space and that being the case, the tables can be very close to one another. In fact, if you come during peak hours, table sharing is a common sight. The staffs tend to become very busy but they have been trained well and they manage the crowd very efficiently. This is my first time here and I observed that the above Hong Kong Style Tea was quite famous with the customers and so, I too went for that. The Tea itself did taste like the Hong Kong style of preparation and for me, I would say that it was quite good. Comes in a huge glass too. My rating for this shall be 7/10.

Chicken + Salted Egg Yolk Rice Set @ RM 15.00

These kind of set meals are the thing here and what draws the huge crowd is the variety that comes with each set and they have close to 40 set meals. For example, I went for the Chicken + Salted Egg Yolk Rice Set and it came with some Rice, Chicken with Salted Egg, Sambal Petai, Pickled Egg and some Butter Chicken. All this for RM 15.00 only. 

Pickled Eggs

Butter Chicken

The Pickled Eggs were okay. Could have been better as I found the base to be a tad too watery. My rating for that shall be 7/10. Their Butter Chicken was a little too stiff. Otherwise, it did taste okay. 6/10 would be my rating for this. 

Sambal Petai

Salted Egg Chicken

Their Sambal Petai was nice. It had the right flavours and taste wise, it was up to my expectations. However, they could have been a little more generous with the Petai. Taste wise, I rate this at 7/10. The Salted Egg Chicken again was a little stiff and a tad too sweet. I'll give this 6/10. 

Our Bill

What generally sells here is the set meals that comes with a pleasant variety and you would never get bored with their sets as they have close to 40 set meals to choose from. Food could have been better. Nevertheless, the sets are definitely worth the price.

Restoran PKS Maju @ Seri Kembangan, Selangor

Restoran PKS Maju may seem like a very ordinary restaurant that is located in a residential area but this restaurant has a special charm that attracts customers from near and far. Despite being located in a run down area of Taman Pinggiran Putra which is filled with foreigners, this restaurant does offer some fantastic South Indian food at very reasonable prices.

Just Another Restaurant

Very Simple Set Up

My Meal For The Day Priced At RM 5.00

This restaurant may seem like just another run down restaurant but do check out their reviews on Foursquare, They are all extremely positive and it's difficult to see such reviews in most restaurants today. They have a very standard offering in terms of lunch offering and I had some Mutton Curry, Mutton Gravy, Bitter Gourd Perattal and some Tofu Sambal and this lot was priced at RM 5.00 . Very reasonable I felt.

Bitter Gourd Perattal

My brother used to live in this area before and it was him that had recommended me this place. He's generally a very fussy person when it comes to food and seeing his very positive feedback coupled by the reviews that I had read on Foursquare, I decided that I have got to visit this restaurant. For a start, let me go with their Bitter Gourd Perattal. The veggie was cooked to perfection and the taste was just awesome. Not too spicy and not too bitter, they had made it taste just awesome. My review for this shall be 10/10. 

Curried Mutton

Mutton Gravy & Tofu Sambal

Their Mutton Curry was extremely good. I loved the lean cuts that came with lots of potatoes and the flavours were just awesome. Very generous with the spices and my rating for this shall be 9/10. Similarly, their Tofu Sambal deserves nothing less than 9/10. 

Omelette @ RM 1.50

A staple item that should not be missed at this restaurant is their Omelette which is priced at RM 1.50 . This is made on request and you would see this being served at almost all tables. Even for those who come by during tea time, they would order one of this as it was really good.l Just look at the colours and you'd know how good it is. My rating for this is 9/10. 

Despite being a very humble set up in a run down settlement, Restoran PKS Maju serves some excellent South Indian food. Their curries, veggies as well as their famous Omelette were all extremely tasty. In fact, they do serve much better food compared to what we get at most of those famous restaurants in the Klang Valley. This is definitely a restaurant that I would highly recommend and I wouldn't mind driving all the way from Kuala Lumpur just to have some tasty food.

Jalan Reko Portuguese Grilled Fish @ Kajang, Selangor

In Kajang, there seems to be many restaurants that are operating from their homes and this is one such place. This restaurant specialises in Grilled Fish and they are prepared in a variety of styles.

Endorsed By The Rasikka Rusikka Team

This place has a very humble set up and it would take a local to know that there is a restaurant here. Even the banner was a faded one. Despite being located right beside Jalan Reko not too far away from the MRT Station, it may be tough to spot this place if you drive fast. It also seems that the Rasikka Rusikka Team had endorsed this restaurant and that gave me an assurance that the food should be good. 

They have three seating sections here, one is in the living room, another in the porch and they also do have some tables outdoors. Their menu was rather simple but it had a good variety of grilled fish. Besides that, a variety of noodles and other dishes were also available. The house itself seems old, must be one of those early residential areas in Kajang but it had a good upkeep and the place was clean. We were here around 9 pm and even at that hour, there was a steady flow of customers and the boss seemed to be addressing everyone by their name. They definitely must have a good customer base that visits them frequently.

Grilling In Progress

We had ordered one Grilled Fish and a bowl of noodles. The fish is fresh as it is kept alive in an aquarium. We actually witnessed the killing of the fish right in front of our eyes. One staff catches the fish and then hands it over to another staff that kills it with a single blow right there at the porch. He then cleans the fish and hands it over to the lady boss who grills the fish herself. She then heats up the charcoal grill, adds the ingredients into the foil and places the fish on the grill. Since they use charcoal grills, it does take a while for the fish to be cooked but it was worth the wait. 

Loh Mee @ RM 6.00

The bowl of Loh Mee that we ordered came quite fast. For RM 6.00 , it was good to be shared by two people. It came with lots of shrimps, fish cake and sliced pork and the broth was just perfect. The right thickness and the flavours were mild and good. Not as great as the ones that we get in Ulu Yam, nevertheless it was way better than the ones that you get in Kuala Lumpur. My rating for this shall be 8/10. 

Grilled Fish @ RM 37.00

Absolutely Delicious Stuff!

We had ordered the grill fish that was to be cooked with ginger and they were very generous with the ginger. The fish itself was so good and it was so soft and nice. The overall combination of ginger, birds eye chili, soy sauce and okra was heavenly. It was so good that even after being done with the fish, we kept scooping out the sauces. The fish itself may be slightly pricey but it's definitely worth it. My rating for this shall be 9/10. 

Bill

This is a very humble set up that operates from a house in Taman Hijau which is located along Jalan Reko, Kajang. They specialise in a variety of Grilled Fish preparations and this home restaurant has been in existence for ages. Besides the fish dishes, they do have some noodles which is pretty good as well. The fish itself could be slightly pricey but it's totally worth it. Do be prepared to wait as it may take some time for the fish to be grilled since they use charcoal grills. Another gem of a place that should not be missed in Kajang. This place has also been endorsed by the Rasikka Rusikka Team from ASTRO.

Ekkamai Bar & Thai Kitchen @ Solaris Dutamas, Kuala Lumpur

A friend of mine recommended giving this place a try saying that the food here was very good and the way that he had been promoting this restaurant really made me want to visit this place. This restaurant is located on Level G2, Block C5 in Solaris Dutamas. Having had a meeting here earlier in the day made it all the more convenient for me and here I am at this restaurant. 

Outdoor Seating Area

Value For Money Set Lunches

Tea Time Promotions

This restaurant was not too difficult to find. If you follow the block numbers, you would hardly miss this place. They have a indoor and outdoor seating area and the ambiance was just lovely. Besides the Ala-Carte Menu, one could also go for their set meals which looks pretty good to me. 

Cutlery

Iced Green Tea @ RM 10.00

Steamed Rice @ RM 3.00

Ordering was a breeze and the waiters were very professional. In a matter of minutes the cutlery along with the drinks were served. Some may find the pricing here to be a little steep but I guess for the locality, it's quite acceptable. 

Green Chicken Curry @ RM 28.00

Spicy Calamari @ RM 20.00

I usually don't go for Green Curry because none of the places that I have come across in Malaysia does it as good as what you get in Thailand. But since this came highly recommended, I went for it. True enough, it was really something and tasted just like the one that you would get in Thailand. Perfectly balanced flavours and it was mildly spicy. My rating for this shall be 9/10. Their Spicy Calamari was another excellent dish. It was so good that I did not even have to go for the dip sauce. Crunchy, juicy and addictive. Again, 9/10 is what this preparation deserves. 

Chicken Cashew Nut @ RM 29.00

Kailan @ RM 18.00

The Chicken Cashew Nut was slightly on the spicy side but taste wise, it was heavenly. Very generous with the ingredients and it was awesome. 10/10 would be my rating for this. Their Kailan was another excellent dish. Just look at the freshness of those leaves. 9/10 would be my rating for this. 

I have visited most of the premium Thai restaurants in the Klang Valley. Most of them charge premium prices but not everything tastes great there. Ekkamai however does an amazing job with the dishes. Each and every dish that we tried was good, really good and I won't say that their prices are very high. Slightly pricey but it was totally worth it. For great Thai food in the Klang Valley, I would strongly recommend Ekkamai.
