Homecook Hong Kong Food at Private Kitchen (私人厨房 ) @ Uptown Damansara

02/11/2012 No Comments

[Update: 1/5/2016 – now have move to SS2)

Damansara Uptown is famous for a eatery place whereby we can hunt a few nice place to eat with a great mix. One of the latest addition outlet to the area is this Private Kitchen that I have been told that they started off with small little privite dining and its popularity had grown then they have to operate into a shop. Hence Private Kitchen was the name and now is available in bigger space with both ground floor and first floor (more for private functions or family gathering).

I have travel to Hong Kong a few times and yet find something similar here. Hong Kong food is definately must not miss. Well this new discovery,Private Kitchen is no ordinary shop like those restaurant in shopping mall as they are offering more authentic home cook Hong Kong Cuisine. The man behind the master creation is Chef Lam with experience of more than 20 years on him. Being in Malaysia for less than 18 months, he had creatively come out with many unique dish to impress.

A cosy dining area with wooden chairs with many pictures that resemble on Hong Kong that certainly makes you think you are in Hong Kong Restaurant.

Chicken wings are well deep fried to golden brown, crisps on all edges, with mild spicy and salty at the end. A great way to start off our dinner.

Follow by this delicious Smoke Duck with Mango. Juicy and chewy slice of smoke duck which is aromatic and blend well with light sour sweet mango, perfect! – recommended

I love my meal to start off with soup, and this double boil soup.

Is just a great way to make our stomach warm. Boil along with pumpkin, pork and some other ingredient makes the soup sweet enough just as I like or its just me that love soup, any kind of soup is tasty to me. 🙂

As we all had the introduction of the meal, then we head to the next meal section which is their set lunch menu that I am totally jealous with most of the office worker working around the area. Set lunch start off with as low as RM 7.90 and below are some of the items can be found.

Hong Kong style steamed chicken in sand ginger powder noodle soup @ RM 9.50

Finely chop ginger slices is one of the extra condiments that you must not miss out to pair with the chicken. I finish it and asked for another additional. Not too spicy ginger taste which had tone down and suits many people I think. Well, if you are not a ginger person its worth for you to give it a try.

This is no ordinary steam white chicken. Been perfectly marinated and bath with ginger serve along with hot soup noodle is one of the way to satisfy your lunch. Soft tender chicken meat, with slightly fragrant sauce that blends well with the noodle soup. If I drink the sauce it will be too salty as it is not meant to drink that way. I pour the gravy into the soup it made it extra flavorful.

noodle in the soup to pair with the chicken

Noodles with mince meat & fried egg in tomato soup @ RM 7.50

This is no ordinary instant noodle. Well, I often got scolded for ordering instant noodle at restaurant because of the pricing and its easy to cook. Sometimes I just crave for it and cant help it. This here is a must try. It look pretty ordinary or simple yet the hidden ingredient why I love it so much is they cook their own soup base with tomato and pork that makes it sweet enough (something like ‘Loh Shun Tong’) filled with mince meat and a simple sunny side up. Love the soup as its slightly sour tomato base and we just finish it within seconds as the instant noodle cook to springy. – highly recommended

If you love to have some pork, then you can opt for this Typhoon shelter noodles with Pork Chop in Chili and Garlic Soup @ RM 15

Comes with deep fried pork as the side dish and noodle, perfect for raining weather at this moment.

Stir Fried Pork Ribs with Rice @ RM 12.90

Sweet and soup pork ribs might looks ordinary, but this is a well balance taste, mild sweet and more pineapple sour taste as they cook along where you can buy chunks of pinapple. Deep fried pork are in cubes and soft that pairs well with the rice.

Fried Rice Portuguese Style with braised pork belly & Seafood @ RM 16 is filled with wok hei and too bad that they don have sambal or chili oil to pair with. If not it would make it more outstanding.

Private Kitchen Stir Fried Prime Beef Fillet with Strawberry Pepper Sauce @ RM28

Now lets head to more of its ala-carte menu. Begins with this is pretty unique dish with me, as strawberry is being used to cook along in this dish.Cook till the gravy is well coated onto the beef, tender soft and juicy with mild pepper spicy after taste makes it a great dish for me.

Something creamy and palatable then go for this one of my favorite for the night, Deep Fried Pork Ribs with Special Salad Sauce @ RM32. Me and Ken just enjoying this dish by just munching it half a plate with it well coated salad sauce, sweet and slightly creamy that make it appetizing.

Creating your taste bud dancing, Stir Fried Squids with vermicelli in Special Chili Sauce is next to hunt for. YOu have to eat it pretty fast and if not, the vermicelli will soak the soup pretty instantly. Soup taste of it is pretty amazing lime, sour spicy and squid is just fresh, chewy bouncy as I like. RM 28

oh oh, this dish is pretty Hong Kong style as Portuguese Style Baked Chicken Chop @ RM 18. Slightly can taste on powdery ginger curry taste which definitely relates back to HOng Kong dish as the chef hvae slightly change the ingredient as he mention the ingredient here is pretty good and the base of it is potato is amazing. -Recommended when you have your rice.

Some of you might find the curry slightly powdery but that is what Hong Kong curry taste like. 😉

I know I am being called taufulou, yet this is another amazing by the chef. Crispy fried Tofu with Salt & Pepper @ RM 16

The chef have made the toufu so delicately soft that nearly melts on your tongue with crispy base outside with light after taste of pepper and the bite of it taste as soft as taufufa. Is the chef special mixture to make it outstanding. If you have beer on your side, this would be the best option!

another dish that was gone within seconds as the aroma of the spicy garlic trail on our nose that make it so tempting. Private Kitchen Typhoon Shelter Prawns with Chili & Garlic @ seasonal price. Huge succulent prawn being deep fried along with chili and garlic make this dish simple and nice.

Any vegetable with pork, I am up for it. Private Kitchen Sautéed Chinese Chives with Dried Shrimp and Shredded Dried Cuttlefish @ RM18 is a well balance vegetable that comes with me, and the best part is the small little salted fish is crispy and the saltiness that bite after it with the vegie and pork.. ooo so hard to resit!

End with this healthy herbal jelly. Not many people will like it but its something unique to end off with. I am okay with it and I believe my parents would love it.

I must say, this is one of the most impressive Hong Kong Restaurant that I have come accross and you do not know where to dine, this is one of a highly recommended restaurant in my list for Hong Kong Cuisine.

Sate Kajang HJ Samuri @ Damansara Uptown

27/03/2012 11 Comments

Fancy for Satay? Just got to know that there is another branch of famous Kajang sate in Damansara Uptown, that according to my friend, this outlet or brand is one of their favourite, so this round they tag me along too. In Google, you type it out only I realise they actually have alot of branches every where. Guess this is another franchise chain or family own business? Sate Kajang HJ Samuri.

Nevertheless, it is always 80% full in this outlet and the amount of customer make the take away is amazing like 100 sticks, 200 sticks to ta pau away.

This is how busy their sate grill er place will be that been preparing and cooking non stop.

According to my friend, what makes them keep returning back is their secret chili ingredient which is quite spicy if you add more and just add the perfect kick in it. Peanut sauce is grind till ashes and add some peanut pieces still able to chew.

Besides satay they also sell other ‘Goreng food’

This is the pricing of Satay that usually a person would eat at least RM10 per pax averagely as 10 sticks of satay as your main meal would be just enough.

Chicken would be the perfect order as grill and marinated to perfect as the meat is soft and nice. . .

Then order extra with Kambing (Mutton), Daging (beef) and Perut (stomach) – I prefer the beef more tender and taste is pretty good!

This is the stomach if not mistaken.

Overall, the taste is pretty good and they certainly have many returning customers like my friends, at times can dine 2-3 days in a row .. *faint

A famous sate stall that worth a try as the brand inself already famous in the community.

Xingang Bak Kut Teh @ Taman Segar, Cheras

10/10/2011 No Comments

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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~

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.

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

Vegetable in Garlic Sauce @ RM 7

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~

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.

Nice Frozen Yogurt at Nolita Cafe @ Viva Mall, Cheras

25/07/2011 No Comments

I often hear my friend said about Viva mall another great place to hunt for food as they host many unique FnB in one side of the mall. Being my first time here since donkey years ago, that I still remember their old building is Ue3 or there is a Shark Disco right above the mall, and now being newly revamp to be called Viva Mall also known as a furniture mall. Nolita Cafe

I was there early that day and I came by and walked around, to my surprise its a huge mall..it took me bout half and hour to stroll whole mall . .

After my little stroll, I head to this cafe call Nolita, I as ask the owner how do they come across the name and they told me that it actually refers to one of the neighborhood in up north known as Little Italy at Manhattan, New Yok. So in short they came out with Nolita.

As in this cafe, their mains is to offer customers quick meal or a nice place to hang out and one thing that must take note is their frozen yogurt is purely import from US.

I love the whole ambiance as its very casual and relaxing with simen base counter that host their sandwich choices and yogurt toppings. . .

They have wide selection of homemade cakes too . . .

Besides that, if you come in group to have a place to chill and they also have a few board games available ..

As I am a fan of yogurt and I manage to order and tried a few of them . .

1) Mango Mango @ RM 8.50 – fresh mango used mix with yogurt that I finish this cup within few minutes, its addictive . . . – Recommended

2) Sour Attack @ RM 8.50 – for girls or guys who love sour that makes your jaw a bit numb then you should try this . .

3) Monster Cookie Ice Blended @ RM 9 – another cup that I just keep sucking till it finish and its quite addictive too . . – Recommended

4) Yo Berry Yo @ RM 8.50 – something light and mild in sour, which is just nice to have a cup to chat with friends. . .

If you want something light to go on then head for Caesar Salad @ RM 8

By just adding RM 1, you get yourself a plate of salad with chicken on it, Grill Chicken Salad @ RM 9, the dressing is a bit more solid, towards a bit more sour but eat it along with their own season black pepper taste grill chicken that tone down the taste is just nice. .

I like their Turkey Ham Sandwich @ RM 9.90 .. .

as I they are quite generous in their hams’ with at least 4-5 slices of it are in the sandwich, and the sandwich is not dry, moist enough with the dressing and I like it ..

As for their breakfast menu set, they have this . .

Love how they cook their eggs with one gentle poke, the egg yolk ooze out as I prefer to slurrpp it before it was been poke, then it is very fragrant enough with the grained black pepper on top that I just don need pepper or soy sauce. Its just perfect to eat it like that!

Creamy Mushroom Pasta @ RM 12

I love their Chocolate Fudge, which is rich in chocolate flavor and its soft in the inside and a layer of chocolate crust circle around it. Best to pair it with latte or earl grey tea. . @ RM 7

Moist Carrot which is not too dry and rich in ingredient that I can cheew some of it, if the sweetness of icing on tone down abit it would just be perfect. @ RM 8

Red Velvet @ RM 8

Caffe Latte @ RM 7.50

If you are a tea drinker I would suggest you try their tea, as the brand Dilmah is quite nice and its very fragrant.. I am not a Earl Grey Tea drinker as I do not know how to enjoy those kind of taste but I find this quite nice. . a mild yet very fragrant in taste n smell. @ RM 5

Best of all, I like their Frozen Yogurt is import from US and its fat-free and great for the stomach as its full with probiotic content. I certainly prefer this over Tutti Frutti . . . .

Yogurt Regular + 1 Topping @ 8

Yogurt Regulat + 2 Topping @ RM 12

Additional topping RM 1.50 each

I sure will come back to this cafe again for their sandwich and yogurt. . 😀 – Recommended~

Restaurant Kan Eng @ Hatyai, Songkhla

24/05/2010 No Comments

When we were having good times at Songkran water festival (click here), Jonathan suggest that a restaurant that we must not miss and its highly recommended- Restaurant Kan Eng, which during last round of his trip there he did not manage to eat it as the restaurant is so sardine packed! Then on that day, he said that no matter what die die also must go, then lead us walk one big round in the city area as we read the map wrongly. As we walked towards there our stomach is already growling and we are all drench too as we constantly meet some people that station right out from their house to attack on passerby.

Restaurant Kan Eng is one of the famous local restaurant that attracted a lot of Malaysians to dine there too for its quality and one thing that surely attracted a lot people which is the price of the food, Its very cheap!

In the menu offer a lot of local varieties, which is most of us would want to eat but that day we have decided not to eat something spicy as in the morning, we really had spicy food till our tears and sweat all dripping nonstop yet scared that we had fun during the water fight then stomachache.

Jonathan was our captain for the night, we leave him in charge of the order as we were busy eating food that we ta pau on the way walking here, would even said that we attack nearly all the stalls that we come across.

The food was served fast, and start off with ‘Salted Veggie Intestine Soup’, its a good dish to start off with, as I love the salty and sourness of the soup and the pig’s spare part was cook perfectly that it is very chewy and I love to dip it with soy sauce.

‘Otak Otak’ is one of my favourite that I would not miss when go for thai food, I just love the taste of it which is not very milky feel, yet its seafood in this. Juicy inside out, that it is not steam till it is solid.

‘Kerabu Chicken Feet’ which is one of the famous local delicacies, and it was marinated very well, that the sourness and spicy soak into the skin yet its juicy and chewy as it is suppose to be. Some people might find this eerie as its chicken feet skin.

If you go to thai, and a dish that you must order which is ‘Braised Pork Leg’ without eating this, the makan session would be complete. Braised till the skin its soft that you use fork to open it up, it slide in so smooth and the mean pop up open. The meat and the fats is so soft till it feels like melting on the tongue and eat it with white rice is just perfect.

I forgot what the name for this vegetable, but its one type of my favourite veggies, fried not so long to maintain the crunchiness of the veggie and cook it plainly to get the best taste out of it, or another way to order is with sambal but Thai doesn’t have sambal.

‘Fried Oyster’ Some of them love fried oyster, but for me I just love our Malaysian version.

We were very satisfied with the dinner and ‘katui’ serve our table really good, and in Hatyai, do not worry about language barrier as now they can speak Cantonese, Mandarin or Hokkien (which is quite shocking for me) Total damage for the night is around 1000bhat which is around RM100 that we feel is really cheap. A recommeded restaurant if you do visit Hatyai.
