Restaurant Wong Soon Kee is one of my place that I used to eat alot during when I was studying at Metropolitan College back in those very long long time ago. Let me seee…I think should have been around 6 years already as I left Metro was year 2003.hmmmmm….back in those days, would eat late lunch if we crave to go here makan. Cuz they start operating after 2pm. Go too early also don have.

As I tried 2 attempt previously as once they were closed, 2nd time I was too early thought of trying my luck as I was there in that area early, mana tau..don have..

nasi lemak (5)

An option for rice or their chee cheong fun

nasi lemak (7)

 Friendly family service.. . .

Dining in here can be very hot and if you do not mind for a good plate of nasi lemak with some sweat then do drop by.

This is what I usually order back in those days, their signature fried chicken wit white cabbage & mutton (curry banjir)and of course……….

nasi lemak (10)

The fried chicken that must not miss. I waited 15 minutes for the chicken and yet they still taste the same as last time.
I highly recommended this place to eat if you stand a chance to go nearby that area.

Right after the meal at Crystal Jade (click here), we went for a stroll and 30 minutes after that, my friend told me must try one of the stalls in the Food Court – Mie Tarik Laiker. I told her I am still very full from heavy late lunch just now. She insist that I must try then I was like okay . ..

food court (1)

Went up to the top floor and I am certainly impress with the design of the food court in Grand Indonesia.

food court (2)

Huge seating and dining area. .

food court (3)

Like the whole interior design for the food court that build up with any woods.

food court (4)

Event the stalls. .

food court (5)

food court (6)

This is the stall that my friend insist me to try on, Mie Tarik.

food court (7)

Another set of ramen and I rate this as Indonesian Ramen. . 😀

food court (8)

Here are a few sauces for you to add onto the noodle as I see many people take Chili Oil, dark soy sauce and vinegar if not mistaken.

food court (9)

Here is my Mie Tarik that the noodle is springy and I order mine Mie Tarik Pedas and its surely very spicy, top with mince meat. Gravy is very nice not too thick that goes well with the noodle. Worth to try to those who visit this mall . . Recommended~

food court (10)

Another type of seating area. . .

food court (11)

As it heads towards off office hours, which is rush hour, and I notice my friend keep staring at the road I thought why, she saw a ghost? Only realise that she is curious why there are people waving to cars to hop on a ride not taxi. Then I explain to her that, during peak hours, on the highway there must be at least 2-3 passenger in the car, if not, police notice they will be fine! Therefore these people on the road side can be hired. Ask them to hop onto your car to fill up the quota then pay them xx amount of money (market price) then just drop them off any of the location.

Then worried that wont they be rob? Certainly no as they are looking for money to feed themselves or family. Certainly wont go till rob or there are cases that we are unaware.

I have been to Jakarta couple of times back in many years ago till this year I revisit the country as my friends wedding took place. I remembered that, Grand Indonesia had open not long ago at that time and my friend took me to this restaurant Crystal Jade which she loves it alot that located on the ground floor of its mall that was so pack with people and queuing up to go in few years back.

crystal jade (1) Since I am here again, decided to drop by at the restaurant again to have late lunch, reach here about 2.30pm on weekdays could have guess it that we no need to queue to get into the restaurant.  By the restaurant name itself, already known that its famous for Xiau  Long Bao and also La Mien. crystal jade (2)

Open Concept kitchen

crystal jade (3) These settings are pretty much similiar to the one we have in Malaysia.. crystal jade (4) crystal jade (5)

Price are very reasonable in terms of dining in restaurant here. .

crystal jade (6) Jus Alpukat which is avacodo blended that comes out thick and creamy with some chocolate taste. Rp 25,000 crystal jade (7)

Of course Xiao Long Bao is a must in this restaurant. . . RP 25,000

crystal jade (8)

Skin are quite thin and carefully wrap with the soup in there is just sweet. .

crystal jade (9)

Sichuan Lamian @ RP 40,000

crystal jade (10) It is not spicy as I thought so, filled with peanut and sesame taste that the soup is quite thick. Noodle is just nice. .

Overall, the food here is not bad but definitely better taste compare to the one in KL. Just wonder why.

Sometimes, when you crave for Bak Kut Teh, you need not drive all the way to Klang for your favorite stall, sometimes, some where nearby or some where in a commercial area will have a nice BKT shop that was until recently, we found new love for our BKT outing stall which is this Xingang Bak Kut Teh, that located a street away from Leisure Mall, Cheras.

bkt (1)

We were told that this restaurant serve authentic Klang homecook recipe Bak Kut Teh and immediately we arrange to drop by.

bkt (2)

It was Sunday late lunch, and there are quite a number of crowds here too.  As we sat down, the crowd start pouring in till near full house.

bkt (3)

Normal menu they have here, and one thing that caught our eyes was their pricing. I would say a bit cheaper compare to those places like Jalan Ipoh or KL area.

One unique thing in this shop is that, you can choose how your Bak Kut Teh to be served, can be either in Claypot or in glass bowl like those in Klang, pricing definitely will be slightly different as for me, I always prefer mine in Claypot.

bkt (4)

We ordered, Dry Pork Ribs mix with Trotter pot to start off with and its quite a surprise to me that they add in ladies finger in it. It was cook till quite dry, that the think soy sauce able to coat with the meat, and you have to stir it fast to prevent the meat from sticking at the side or base of the pot. Will be a very good companion to eat along with rice, as it is not too salty that just nice.

bkt (5)

Claypot Ribs @ RM 9 that served, just enough for me, if I am eating by myself, and by this time, I just cant wait to taste on their soup. The soup that definately comes to my liking, its a bit more strong in herbs taste that I have always like, and the soup is not too watery. Can just taste out that they use alot of pork ribs to cook along as the soup taste sweet too.

Best of all, the soup can be refill, and I had 4 bowls of the soup~

bkt (6)

One of my favourite that I would not really miss is pig’s spare part. ‘Intestine and Stomach’ @ RM 8 as I find it cheaply price with the generous amount of spare part that they gave me. I love the intestine, as its been stuff into multi layer style, just nice to chew and its wash till clean that do not have those weird taste.

bkt (7)

Claypot Big Bone @ RM 18, cook till the meat is soft and dip into my garlic chili with thick soy sauce is just perfect.

bkt (8)

Vegetable in Garlic Sauce @ RM 7

bkt (9)

Besides serving Bak Kut teh, they do have something special in da house with some of their dish are own creation and we try out their Apple Chicken which is something that I have never tried out before, deep fried first then shower with their own homemade apple sauce. Taste pretty unique, that have the sweetness of apple and crispy on the outer layer. I would say, worth to try~

bkt (10)

I am just so jealous of you that work nearby the area, as they do have set lunch for their Bak Kut Teh just for RM 9 that served along with Rice + Bak Kut Teh + Vege + Chinese Tea. Where to find this kind of promo wor, where usually I eat myself also easily cost RM13-RM16.

Well, this shop also do have steam fish, that I accidentally deleted that picture in my camera, which comes in 4 flavours, I did try out their garlic ginger steam fish, that I like how they did their own mixture and strong in garlic taste and ginger taste.

This place had add into my list of bak kut teh hunting place, and I would say, worth recommending to try out if you love those kind of soup base, a bit stronger in herbal taste, soup is also a bit thicker. Recommended place~

Remark: The dish have 3 sizes to choose from, pricing above is base on our order as some is medium, some is small.

I have always wanted to try this Jemput tree out, so when I reach Pg directly ask my friend meet me here. Get to know that they serve local and western cuisine so should be not a bad place as usually I drive pass by.
When I reached there I am pretty surprise how they decorate the place as usually drive pass through then can just have a glance. This is the main entrance to the hang out area which is very interesting.

Their beverage area to serve drinks.

The seating area have a few style which you can choose too, as nearby the entrance there all the tables in the middle is filled with sand and sea shells and lights around it. So would be like mini candle light place.
This is one of the private hut that can accommodate around 6 pax. Since we were there early and not many people so we get to choose the place. Very nice and cozy area to chat and hang out among friends.
After sited down and walk around only realise that the have another lagi private 1 which is on the 1st floor. Cool, maybe some where in the future will tag my friend here for celebration of b’day. lol~

They serve western,pasta and local cuisine. Price is reasonable.

Order the drinks of ‘Ice Lemon Tea’ and ‘Sour Plum Iced’. Both of the drinks are up to expectation as both also priced at RM3.50 each.
As I was quite full from very late lunch, so my friend order ‘Mushroom Soup with garlic bread’. Would not really introduce this soup as it is thick but then not much taste. More like milk taste and taste a bit weird. The garlic bread is nice, maybe can order separately. RM5.90 for this.
Outside from restaurant, I would recommend this dish ‘Polo Funghi. It taste very nice, had the taste of the sweet tomato with the blend cheeze definitely a good selection. Only RM 14.90

Then I order the Tomyam Noodle’, as you get to choose Maggie Noodle, Bee Hoon or Mee. Quite alot of ingredients inside, with prawns, mushroom, and veggies but as always the prawn is not fresh in most of the stalls for tom yam soup. The taste of the soup is more sour than spicy, if they add a bit more spicy it will be just nice. RM7.90 for this.
As in the end, the bill comes in total of RM36 which I think is reasonable for the environment they provide yet the prices is not extremely expensive or cheap.

Remarks: Please wear long pants, if not the mosquito will enjoy food fest.
