Famous Kim Soya Bean @ Petaling Street

24/01/2019 No Comments

In KL we do not have the famous Funny Moutain Soya Bean from Ipoh, but we have this famous Kim Soya Bean at Petaling Street. I never knew about this stall till a few months ago. Usually I visited China Town at Petaling street during night time. Rarely would come during day time.

So for visitors to Petaling Street, this is one of a soya bean stall that you must stop by as usually it is flock by both locals and tourist. There is another drink stalls which is famous that I rarely miss is the famous ‘air mata kucing’ that just sits right opposite.

This stall had been operating for more than 30 years and currently is operating their secound generation – the son.

Family business both dad and son in action. Love my soya bean in white sugar and this is smooth and fragrant.

According to my friend, they are not only well known for their soya bean as their Taufufa is the signature of this stall. I have to second that in a way as rarely you get a smooth taufufa texture. Texture is fragrant just near melts in your mouth. I had 2 bowls.

I usually prefer my taufufa in black sugar. KL folks love their taufufa with ginger white sugar.

Portuguese Grilled Fish @ Petaling Street, KL

25/06/2018 No Comments

Who is in for this Portuguese Grilled Fish in Petaling Street? They used to be one of the most famous grill fish in this area and the queue was crazy. At least 60-90 minutes queue. Used to take number then walk around in the area to come back for this awesome dish.

We decided to pay a visit again before heading into this new Speakeasy bar – The Deceased and upon reaching, we found that there is a separation seating area. How is it right now? Well, I believe still the same group of people are managing it.

Fit with variety of home made gravy that hit on your palate.

Ingredeint are still being prepared fresh.

My favourite when comes to grill fish is still stingray.

Ordered a few to check it out and seems that their gravy have toned down. Prawns are fresh and mini squid is just perfect combination. Spiciness of it is not longer a bit hit on spot and with very mild sweet end.

Lala was one of their best seller and of course its a must order too, for my personal liking order dish. Pretty good and fresh and serve along with ladies finger. those of you like this would find this a great dish.

here comes my grill stingray fish, as the fish is not too bad, meat softness is there and gravy for this is slightly spicier. Put onto your rice is just a great combination.

Portugese grill Fish Special pricing is not too bad as small starts from only RM 11 and the ingredient they give is pretty decent. Do note that they are pretty strict over no outside drinks.

As I mention there are 2 section of seating area now. The one right infront of Hong Leong Bank belongs to another hawker. For Ikan Pangang Portugis Istimewa is at this side alley.

After your meal, you must not miss to cool down your tummy with the famous Air Mata Kuching in China Town. This Air Mata Kuching in Petaling street had been here for ages and they have another outlet in Mid valley.

I always had 2 glass by myself.

the Ikan Pangang is no longer as good as it used to be. Their quality had dropped over the years and no longer a bit hit as it used to be 15 years ago.
