My friend Adrian brought us to one restaurant in Klang. The restaurant, Siow Tiow Restaurant, is well known for its shark fins soup and oh chien (oyster omelette).

Klang is also well known for its underworld activities. When we arrived at the restaurant, couple of prostitutes were hanging outside the restaurant.

No pictures of prostitutes here la.

The restaurant itself looks quite dodgy. The facade was brown and old. It was like an old restaurant from Hong Kong movies – gangsters may pop in any minute to chop up some people for Bah Kut Teh.

The range of food is quite limited but Adrian being a regular there, knows what is good. He ordered, amongst others, the famous shark fin soup, prawns and oh chien (oyster omelette).

pr4wns!!

wooweeee nomnomnom sharkfinnn

Surprisingly, the shark fin soup came in a big claypot bowl. It was thick and had loads of substances in it. Extremely yummy.

Apparently the oh chien is highly recommended by many. It tasted OK to me. Prawns are so-so too.

The price is reasonable but I read some reviews saying that it's too expensive. Nevertheless, our shark fin soup, prawns, oh chien and 2 big plates of fried noodles costs around RM200 (for 6 of us).

Kedai Kopi Tai Meng

Before my trip to Kota Kinabalu, my friend recommended me one dish by the name Tuaran Mee.

Tuaran is a town in Sabah and this dish originates from this town. Due to its popularity, the sale of such dish has expanded to Kota Kinabalu. Kedai Kopi Tai Meng is actually our second choice as our first choice is not open due to the Chinese New Year break.

Tuaran mee consist of, among others, noodles, roasted pork and vegetables. It’s fried and tastes quite egg-ish. - quite tasty too! To complement this dish, one should add the stall’s self-made condiment i.e. their spicy sauce. If it’s too spicy, you may add some soy sauce to dilute the spicy taste.

While eating, we saw this cat with multi coloured eyes.

This cat kept clinging on my friend's jeans. After my friend kicked the cat away, the cat went to another table and started clinging on a lady’s jeans. LOL

Live it up, Clement: Tuaran Mee

One of the things I don't see in Kuala Lumpur is small retails selling egg tarts solely. I've almost been a big fan of egg tarts and I would order egg tarts whenever I go for dimsum.

Took this when it was closed :P

While walking around Warisan Square, I bought a piece of egg tart from a small shop by the name Dotts Egg Tarts. Each egg tart costs RM1.10 - quite expensive for KK standard. However, it's well worth it. Although it's not freshly out from the oven, the egg custard was still warm and soft. The egg custard was sweet and extremely delicious. I wanted another one when I finished the first one!!!

Soon I realised that Dotts Egg Tart is a chain selling egg tarts. In fact, there are many other shops that sell only egg tarts! This is something that I would recommend Klang Valley entrepreneurs to venture in.

Our first dinner was at Port View Seafood Village, a well known restaurant for tourists. It’s located along the beach in Kota Kinabalu City. We were told that the food there is good but a little bit pricey.

After sitting down, a lady came to serve us. We wanted to eat fish..

Me: What fish do you have?
Lady: “Lou pan” and “Chat sing Pan”..

I know that “chat sing pan" (literally means “seven stars fish”) is quite expensive. However, at that time, I forgot the Chinese names of the cheaper fishes. Hence…

Me: How much is “lou pan”? For 2 person..
Lady: oh, around RM200
Me: O_O ok..how about “chat sing pan”??
Lady: About RM15 per 100 gram.
Me: Aahh..ok.. 1 steamed “chat sing pan” please.

We ordered a dish of vegetables to complement our fish. It took a long time for the fish to come.

The fish came and we ate. The fish was fresh from the aquarium. I didn’t know until I was told later but nevertheless it was good. It’s best to eat fresh fish steamed as from there, one can taste the freshness of it.

But when the bill came…RM90 for “chat sing pan”!!! What the fish!!?!? RM90 FOR FRESHNESS??? I GIVE FRESH FART RM90 CAN??? THIS IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE FISH I’VE EVAAAA EATTEEEENNNN$@$!!1111

My friend brought the www.xes.cx makan team to one restaurant by the name Siang Siang Pan Mian @ Lintas. The interior is quite similar to our Ipoh Oldtown Coffee. However, the place seems a little bit dirty – rubbish was scattered over the floor.

The menu comes in a mixture of English, Malay and Mandarin language – with pinyin for bananas like me. One part you have soup, another part you got mee kuning.

See bottom line...Feet / "Lutut" LOL! Shouldn't it be feet / "kaki"??

I ordered a soup based pan mee aka kan lau pan mian.

After ordering our food, I spotted a small bowl filled with fresh lime. I was told that the lime juice extracted from the fresh lime is to be mixed with the soup.

Other than the soup based pan mee, we also ordered “teik pan” (hot plate) pan mee. The teik pan pan mee is quite good but their soup based pan mee is so-so. However, after adding some lime juice into my soup based pan mee, the taste of the noodles became quite interesting.

Located in an alley between two coffee shops, this small curry noodles stall is quite well known in OUG. Its only open in the morning (until afternoon). One can enjoy alfresco dining underneath the morning sun.

The curry noodles come in a thick curry sauce with pieces of chicken and barbecued roasted pork (char siew) thrown in it. The char siew is quite tasty - you may order extra. Further, it's not very spicy.

Nescafe is not bad too :D

If I'm not mistaken, the stall is closed every Tuesday.

After reading Jasmine’s blog, I hunted for the Gula Melaka topped ice kacang (shaven ice) at Jonker Street. According to Jasmine, the place that serves the said dessert is somewhere nearby Explorer cafe.

We found the café easily :D It’s on the main road of Jonker.

Swedish Daniel enjoying a Malaysian delicacy :D

We have choice of a mixture of cendol and kidney beans or corn and kidney beans. I hate kidney beans.

The abc was EXCELLENT. The Gula Melaka was no ordinary Gula Melaka. It was melted Gula Melaka with gluey texture. Orgasmic I tell you.

The café also has a small Maritime museum with many treasures salvaged from the sea. I particularly like the old coins that were salvaged from sunken ships. They even have a 6th century coin (shaped like a knife) on display!

Great Ambiance :D

My brother in law has just opened a new branch restaurant at Kelana Jaya. It's called Cowboy Station.

Here's the map

It’s next to a lake therefore the ambiance is nice and cooling. However, please wear long pants as there are loads of insects at the moment. My brother in law is trying to get rid of them now.

Then my sister gave me a history lesson of the place..

Sister: do you know this is a haunting spot at night?
Me: really??? What kind of haunting spot???
Sister: haha, do you know at night... men would come here and...hehehehe.. you know la, what gay men does to each other..
Me: LOL !!

According to my brother in law, his staff including the cook are former employees of Victoria Station! Therefore, its like having cheap VC steaks!

Please pay a visit!

Fan of Sin Yee Kee Seremban Beef Noodles but too lazy to drive to Seremban for a bowl of it? Travel no more!

I found a branch of Sin Yee Kee Beef Noodles @ Restaurant Lucky, Jalan Radin Anum 1, Bandar Baru Seri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur.

Priced @ RM4 for a small bowl and RM5 for a large bowl, you'll first find it weird to have peanuts on your noodles. But once you have a taste of it..oOoOOooohhh...you will want more.

Dry Beef Noodles..

[Note: As at 2006, the stall is no longer there]
