I quite often went to eat Lam Mee at Seri Kembangan which was introduce by one of my best friend and turn out to be one of my favourite a café near South City, Seri Kembangan which I didn’t blog about it. Then I was told that the original is at Pudu and not until I pay a visit here. May King Lam Mee

A restaurant is famous around the neighbourhood for its Lam Mee especially on the thick noodle which had been operating for more than 10 years.

Their signature Lam Mee and must go with the thick noodle. Starcy soup base that create a very aromatic taste and I love mine to pour the whole source plate of samble into it to make it a bit spicy. RM 5

I have been hearing this famous Nasi Kandar Beratur for very long time, that every time that I passby that area I will tell myself must go eat but always ended up in Nasi Kandar Line Clear which is my all time favourite.

On that night that I arrive back in Penang, we directly head to this place as I was inform that they have the most authentic curry that use all spices available to cook on it. The difference compare to the rest of the Nasi Kandar is the spices aroma in the curry, not really spicy but aromatic.

beratur (1)

With the name itself Beratur (Lining Up) you sure do have to wait for your turn to arrive, as on that night we were lucky that the line took us mere 5 minutes, sometimes you have to wait as long as 30 minutes to an hour.

Of course they sure do have some of their dishes would be their signature order,

beratur (5)

Not many places now that still use coconut shell to take the rice.

After putting the white rice on the plate its your turn to hunt down your favourite dish that is available on the couter.

Of course I love my plate of Nasi Kandar to be very Banjir (flood with gravy) especially a mixture of all the available gravy on the counter. This plate order is with Beef slices, Ladies finger and Telur Bawang. The best of all is the beef which is very soft and the gravy that soak along in it is kick ahh!

beratur (9)

My plate is beef slice, telur bawang and ayam madu. Total damage for both plate is less than RM12 and if it is in KL definately more than that.

Its still worth a try as its famous for its authentic spices used in to cook the curry, but I still prefer Line Clear. After this hunt, I have heard another upcoming best nasi Kandar some where in Jelutong. Will be my next destination!

Plz Note: Different people always got different pricing in this stall, especially tourist might get rip off, so always ask for pricing before you take any!!

It has been long long time since I last went to Petaling Street for food and walk around the area. I think it was 3 years ago since I last visited the place.

Petaling Street or Chee Cheong Kai is know as Chinatown located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is infamous for pirated clothes and accessories along with bootleg DVDs and CDs. Petaling Street however does not exclusively offer pirated products. Haggling is a common sight here and the place is usually crowded with locals as well as tourists.

The area has dozens of restaurants and food stalls, serving local favourites such as Hokkien mee, ikan bakar (barbecued fish), asam laksa and curry noodles. Traders here are mainly Chinese but there are also Indian, Malay, and Bangladeshi traders. (source Wikipedia)

If you wish to stay around the area, there are many budget hotel available too.

If you  love bargaining then this is one of the place you must visit with many things to see for.

One of the food stalls that used to be very famous was this ‘Ikan Bakar’ that is located in front bank. The last time I dine here was about 6 years ago that it was so famous that we have to order first as usually need to wait for around 1 hour and we stroll around the place to see any nice thing to hunt. .

Now the order came less than 5 minutes and the place was not as pack as before.

I ordered the ‘Sting Ray, Lala, Squid and Prawns’ RM16 for small. The taste was not as good compare to last time, as it was very spicy (at least I need 4 glass of water to cool it off) and this round, the bottom was burn, and the whole spicy dish is filled a bit with that flavour and the sambal taste is not as nice as it used to be.

chinatown (9)

When I always come to this area, one of the drink that I will not miss and it is always pack with people is this ‘Air Mata Kucing’ RM1.80 per cup. It is sweet, refreshing and filled with longan at the base of it. A recommended drink if you do go there.

If you are a beer lover, you are going to love it here with some local and variety of international beer, with my personal favourite are:

Nikko (10)

A Germen Beer ‘Weihenstephan, Hefe-Weissbier Beer’ which is one of the oldest brewery in the world and ranked the best in Germany. I just love the taste of hazy amber, thick creamy white head, foamy lacing that drinks smooth and finishes almost crisp that drinking in such a hot weather is just perfect ended up me and Andrew were drinking a few bottles. Recommended`

Nikko (11)

‘Warsteiner, Premium Verum Bier’ is another Germen Beer that surprise me, that it is a non alcoholic beer, in  my fav list. The taste is fresh, uncommonly smooth taste with a brisk clean finish, till I cant really differentiate it until I turn to the back of bottle. For non alcoholic drinker, sure this is the beer to go after.

Be happy every day of the week. Come and have a good jolly time with friends and colleagues. Take advantage of the Happy Hours deal of Buy 1 Free 1, Mondays to Fridays, 4.00 pm to 8.00 pm.

If you find that bottles beer doesn’t come to your liking, then fear not, as they have draft beer available on bar ranging from Heineken, Kilkenny, Guinness, and Tiger.

Again, I have visited some where ulu (suburb) again, Kota Damansara 2. To me its kinda far from KL all the way there but if you mention about the food quality, its worth everything. In that urban ulu place and if you are looking for a home cook with solid aromatic taste, this is the shop you must hunt for, Mum’s Seafood Noodle House.

Mums

Located in the heart of this urban ulu area which is a few doors away from this very famous The Wok restaurant.

Mums (2)

Its brand new in this area with just operating a few months old and not many people know about this great place.

Mums (3)

Offering alot of local delights.

Mums (5)

Let’s kick off with our very first meal of the night ‘Mum’s Fish Head Bee Hoon’ RM 7.80 and if you are looking for something light and flavorful, go for this, salty with the salty veggie and sour yet cook with milk till boil temperature is something to look for.

Mums (6)

‘Nyonya Chicken’ had been stir fried till the curry is a bit dry to ensure the flavor all soak into the soft tender chicken meat and to eat it along with rice, I can just enjoy this dish with a bowl of plain rice. RM12.80

Mums (7)

‘Mum’s Noodle Seafood Prawn Soup’ filled with big prawns, lala, squid and bamboo clamps and they are quite big in size and with the price charge on it, RM13.80, no complain at all.

Mums (8)

‘Ju Hu Char’ had been fried till very aromatic sweet with the meng kuang juice ooze out and blend well with the Ju Hu and it’s a bit sweet salty in taste that wrap with the veggie is taste so good. All of us keep taking big portion of it. RM10.80 – recommended

Mums (9)

I am a fan of squid especially when it is stuff with homemade ingredient like this ‘Stuff Squid with Prawns’ is very chewy on the meat, aromatic steam taste of the prawn when its stuff in there, end with their special salty sauce pour upon is given thumbs up by us. RM18.80

Mums (10)

This is how the fresh pranw ingredient are stuff in it, with the sauce to eat along with rice, yumm~

Mums (11)

I have eaten loh bak in KL a lot but to get the exact feel, its hard to find not until the very first discovery ends here for this time, with the price of RM8.80 (2 rolls) is all worth the price. Solid meat strip ingredient instead of mince meat, is to ensure when you bite it, you can enjoy the solid and aromatic of the meat instead of the mince when you put into your mouth all spread over. I would say one of the best ‘Loh Bak’ I have eaten so far in KL.

Mums (12)

‘Stir Fried Fish Head in Salted Egg Yolk’ RM16.80 is a highly recommended dish by me. Deep fried of the crispiness of the edge of the fish head yet been fried again in the wok with salty egg yolk and stick on all with the meat, very flavorful on the saltiness of the yolk and a bit of buttery taste, just perfect. Had 2 rounds of this as it was finish by us before others had a chance. Kekeke

Mums (13)

‘Stir Friend Prawn with Golden Garlic’ as the prawn is deep fried and then end with crispy deep fried garlic on top of the prawn with curry leaves is very savory. Sold prawn meant shows the sign of fresh prawn used and with the size like that, its satisfying.

Mums (14)

We were next hit by the look of something salty but then when it was put into our mouth, the spiciness had spread its power to entice on our taste bud yet the gravy to eat with rice, we can just walap it. ‘Bamboo Shell with Soy Sauce’ RM16.80

Mums (15)

When this was served, we were like, fuiyoh! So big..and very worry that…sei loh..how to finish so big, when the fan blow its aroma to us, we retune our worry and took the picture immediately as cant wait to taste it. After tasting it, thumbs up. Sweet mild yet spicy flavor is there, and I ended up keep taking a spoonful of curry and drink it like soup, eat along the white veggie. ‘Curry Fish Head’ *Market Price

Mums (16)

I do not like to eat Petai but this had change my taste wise on it. ‘Fried Prawns with Petai’ as the sambal fried on it, had make the petai taste very mild yet with come dry shrimp make it a bit salty and solid fresh prawns make it tasty. Something I enjoy too.

Mums (17)

‘Kam Hiong Fried Clamps’ is not bad too, with the amount cook in it, no complain.

Mums (18)

Tadaaaaaa…..The amazing cook, that make this all wonderful dish with her very own make over recipe is this very wonderful and friendly Grandma chef (as seen on the sign board) as she is a experience home cook and the family members thought that it would be a waste if only for own family to enjoy and they have converted the mom to the head chef now. Thanks to Ken for this invites and discovery in this urban ulu area again.

We enjoy the dish a lot and personally, I prefer this over Hot Wok. More strong in taste yet the price is quite reasonable. Definately I will revisit the place. Highly Recommended by me~
