Celebrate the Year of the Snake and usher in the Lunar New Year with us as Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur’s Celestial Court goes all out to tempt your eyes, satisfy your senses and whet your appetite with a variety of sumptuous delights.

The Lunar New Year is the most important date in the Chinese calendar and is an elaborate celebration in many parts of Asia. Additionally, there are 12 Chinese Zodiac signs and for the year 2013, it is the Year of the Snake. The Snake carries the meaning of malevolence, cattiness and mystery. In certain places or culture, people believe that if they found a snake in their court, the family will be delighted. Also, people like to paste the paper-cut ‘Fu’ (wealth) character in an upside down position on their doors or windows, combined with a snake twisting around a rabbit as a popular pattern to indicate wealth.

Pumpkin puree with Coconut Ice Cream and Red Bean

Over the weekend, my best friend Ian was quite free then gave me a call ‘Woi, want to go have lunch? Go Batu Caves there makan’? I was like harr.. serious? Batu Caves? then he was like very good eh, will never introduce you wrong food, then I call Ken along too. Driving from my side to another side to hunt for this restaurant. Pan Heong Restaurant is one of a well know restaurant that attracts many from near and far. He also mention that why I should come here to makan is that they use Charcoal to cook! anything cook with charcoal always create another flavor out of it.

Pan Heong (1)

Pan Heong Restaurant is very well known to many locals especially their neighborhood area. With the quality of food and of course their very reasonable price had attracted people from all over then. It was Sunday morning and I was blow away on the numbers of customers queueing up for a table.

Pan Heong (2)

My other group of friends came earlier, therefore we got a spot pretty fast.

Pan Heong (3)

As when I dine in a new place, I always love to observe other tables on what they are ordering or what are the usual repeat order that they(diners) eat.

Pan Heong (4)

As my friend told me, they started off in under a tree and their business had grew so fast then they move to shop lot themselves.

Pan Heong (5)

Started off with a simple Vegetable @ RM 11

Pan Heong (6)

We did not order white rice therefore we go for their Fried Rice as I see many people order. It is a very simple dish that they fried it till very aromatic and ‘wok hei’ as I always love my fried rice to have chinese sausage. @ RM 15

Pan Heong (7)

This is one of their signature HOr Fun and supposedly to order their ‘Sang Har Mee’ but as majority would prefer this for this round. @ RM 15. I love the gravy texture, smooth with egg add up onto while it is serving very hot to let it cook itself while its hot. Smooth gravy and pair very well with the koey teow.

Pan Heong (8)

Next one of my favourite is their Kao Yoke Mee Hoon @ RM 17. Mee hoon was not fried too dry, moist as it originally suppose to be and eat along with the soft fatty Kao Yuk is just perfect. – Recommended!

Pan Heong (9)

Nam Yu (fermented bean curd) Pork is one of the dish not many places can cook well. I must say this place have done it well, that I nearly whack the whole plate by myself instead of sharing it with another 7 more pax. It is well marinated and deep fried to the edge is crispy, and the taste of fermented bean curd is there that do not over power the taste or too strong. – REcommended! @ RM 18.50

Pan Heong (10)

One of the dish that many table order is their Porridge. Then we opt for Fish Porridge @ RM 18. Silky smooth texture of porridge just like the one I had it in Hong Kong, sign’s of being boil long enough to come into this texture. Notice that the fish meat cook instantly under the super boiling hot porridge. Its a bit mild in taste yet just taste good~ Heee,, for sick people, it would be a good meal for you guys.

Overall, the food is not bad and the portion charge with the prices I would say its on the cheaper side as total bill came to RM 105 and dine with total 8 pax.

Let me tell you, it is crazy to see the crowd to be outside a shop even before its opening hours. This is the first time I saw it happen when the restaurant open for business, already seated with around 8 tables in it. At this restaurant Din Dai Fung, that served Taiwanese Food which is one of a famous Franchise that know for its quality and authentic food being served.

With their overwhelming response from locals since their opening a few years ago, now they have done a little facelift to the restaurant and re-open its door to public again with some unique range of Xiau Long Bao to be introduced.

Japanese cucumber @ RM3.80, pickled with garlic, red chilli, chilli oil and sesame oil which is crispy in texture and mild in taste, definately a good appetizer to start along with.

 House Special Appetizer (Xiao Cai) @ RM3.80 – spicy vermicelli noodles mixed with seaweed, bean sprout, dry beancurd, sesame oil and chilli oil

Introducing new to the family, Golden Pumpkin with Salted Egg @ RM3.80, being fried crispy on the outside layer, coated with salted egg on the edge and skin makes it perfect dish to go along with rice.

Shanghainese Drunken Chicken @ RM12.80 a newly modified with add on flavours which now use 2 wine to marinate on it for more than 2 days using Kampung chicken. It is served cold and it is really appetizing, and the chicken meat is a bit chewy yet soak with aromatic wine taste. – Recommended

My favourite of the day for appetizer is Stewed Beancurd with Honey Sauce (Kaofu) @ RM7.00. High quality bean curd being imported from Shanghai and made of high protein wheatflour. The process of making this surely a complicated process but the flavour of it is excellent. First bite of the beancurd taste like bread soak in water but the more I chew the more I like it. A bit sweet, salty yet its deep fried you definately don feel it!

Back in the streets of Jalan Ipoh, I was introduce to this little shop located around the area that this Bak Kut Teh Restaurant Son In stall used to operate on a 3 wheel hawker cart back in 15 years ago, with many people drive from far just to eat this stall and used to wait for hours that operate from 11pm onwards. Now they have move into a shop that Ken highly recommend me this place if were looking for nice pork stew soy sauce with Bak Kut Teh along as he had been one of the loyal customers for many many years.

bkt

The shop might not be pack with people but what I was told by Ken that he had tried all the Bak Kut Teh shop in this road and by far this shop offer one of the best. This stall use traditional method of cooking by using herbs to cook along with the pork ribs unlike others use only cabbage, mushroom, bean curd and others.

bkt (2)

bkt (3)

One of their signature is the ‘Oily Rice’ that must not to be miss, very fragrance with pig oil yet eat along with Bak Kut Teh is just something you do not want to miss out. I ended up having 3 bowls of this.

bkt (4)

Then I order what they have and to start off with is ‘Bak Kut Teh’ Soup base with a mixture of all pork types and I love it with herbs taste on the soup base which is suits to my liking. The intestine and pork ribs all are soft, by dipping it with my mixture of dark soy sauce, chili and garlic is something I enjoy. This serve 1 pax.

Last week, Jonathan came back and tell us, that he went to a shop in Balakong that serve good steam fish and wanted to bring us there, so it was weekdays on lunch time, suddenly do not have the mood to eat on the canteen, all of us just agree to eat out. It was 15 minutes drive from Bukit Jalil to Batu 11, Cheras. Lan Jie Stim Fish When we reach there, it was hard to find parking space as it was lunch time and a mini shop lot area.

Picture on this post will be abit off as I forgot to bring my camera on that day and use Canon G7 to take on it.

Lan Jie

Lan Jie (2)

We were there early and still alot of tables to choose from.

Lan Jie (3)

This is my favorite vegetable, which is stir fried with fermented bean curd, is just nice. Not too salty yet it’s very aromatic with the flavor and goes along very well with rice, ended up ordering another plate.

Lan Jie (4)

‘Stir Fried Four Angle Beans with dry Shrimp’

Lan Jie (5)

‘Fried Wantan’ is very normal

Lan Jie (6)

As you see most of the table in the coffeeshop, each table will have the signature dish ‘Steam Tilapia Fish’ topple with shredded ginger, finely chop cili padi, dice garlic, soy sauce and chili bean paste. Perfectly steam and its very fresh, till eat along with ginger and dip in the soy sauce its very nice, those who prefer their fish to be spicy, can request it to be more spicy, as I love their version of more spicy compare to the normal one. The fish vary in sizes but is price from RM14-RM18.
