So much food, so little time. I’ve still got all this on my ‘must-eat’ list:
Paramount prawn noodles
Esquire Kitchen’s pork chop noodles (with extra extra bean paste chilli)
Banana leaf rice with fresh tengiri
Ipoh Sar Hor Fun
Old Town Bah Kut Teh
Chicken rice wine mee suah
Ketupat with tons of peanut sauce
Tropicana cheese cream crabs
Asam Laksa at my local pasar malam
Kueh Kak (argh, I really wanna eat this!)
Ravi Subang’s nasi lemak kambing
Sugimoto’s Gyubara
Lots of Kelana Jaya chicken rice
Liana’s shepard’s pie
Seems like a shitload of food to squeeze into 2 weeks. No wonder I’m piling on the pounds.. but I’m enjoying it while I can. When CNY comes round, all I’ll be eating is kueh bangkit and kueh kapit. I love those things too. I’m also gonna make it a point to go to Third Floor and NiNe before I leave. Wonder when I’ll get the time (and money!) to do that, LOL. And I also wanna go to TGIF (Jack Daniel’s Prime Ribs.. urgh..) and Chili’s (Top Shelf Strawberry Margarita) and..
Oh dear.
This food trip is giving me a guilt trip. I busted my credit card last month from eating! I just keep justifying it to myself that once I’m back in NZ all I’ll get to eat is brocolli, protein shakes and chicken breasts. And Weet-Bix. And bananas. And lots of potatoes. So I have to eat while I can, right?
Had the most fantastic dinner with a friend of mine at Lemon Garden in Shangri-la. The dinner buffet is amazing, especially the dessert selection. And to think all I wanted was a plate of chicken rice at Sultan Street! No, I don’t ask for much…

*salivating* err… Kg. Baru’s Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa beats Ravi’s any day wei…
oh! and have u tried December’s (Plaza Mt. Kiara) tiramisu? @_@
Okay. Here you go. Sent to me through e-mail. Happy experimenting!
I have no idea how good they are, or whether the places still exist though… but Petaling Street Hokkien mee, yummy! and that nasi kandar behind Lisa de inn is supposed to be good)
1. CHOW KOAY TIEW - Jalan Imbi : the corner restaurant which is on the same row with Sakura, and opposite of Honda Kah Motor.
2. WANTAN MEE / KARI MEE - End of old Subang airport road, in the
Subang New Village Town Centre.
3. TAPIOCA NOODLES & VEGETABLES - Old Klang Road : a shack which is
nestled behind a chinese primary school, after the market and the post office (which would be on your left).
4. KARI MEE (LEMAK) - SS1, Petaling Jaya : Alisan Restaurant (2nd shop from corner), facing the Lorenzo Furniture Shop.
5. ROAST DUCK RICE - Seapark : Sunrise Coffee Shop
6. PRAWN MEE / KARI MEE / CHEE CHEONG FUN - Seapark : Coffee Shop near old Paramount
Theatre.
7. CHICKEN RICE - Seapark : Coffee Shop opposite Seapark Market, run by 2 ladies
whose husbands have since died.
8. FISH HEAD BEE HOON - Jln Gasing, Petaling Jaya :Seng Kee
Restaurant, in row of shops behind Lotus Restaurant.
9. MISCELLANEOUS - SS24 Tmn Megah : take the LDP and exit left after the Kelana Jaya
LRT Station (towards "SS24"). a hawker centre with over 70 hawker stalls (!!) all
serving different dishes, no duplicates (!!), which boast the best of each kind in
town (!!) not too difficult to locate.
10. YONG TAU FU - Ampang New Town/Ampang Village (there are 3 shops, so have your pick)
11. PAN MEE - Along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman behind Kah Motors
12. HOKKIEN MEE - Petaling Street opposite Hong Leong Bank
13. CHAR SIEW RICE - Jalan Tung Shin
14. NASI KANDAR - Kayu Nasi Kandar Restaurant in Taipan, Subang with a branch in SS2 a
coffee shop formerly known as Cheow Yang
15. Pork noddle (square shape type) - Jalan Imbi corner shop
16. Teh Tarak & roti - Taman Desa next to the water tank
17. If money is not an issue - Madam Kwan (Nasi Lemak & curry fish head)
18. Little Penang (chow Koay Tiew & Prawn mee)
19. Bak kuit teh - Jalan Imbi behind hong leong bank
20. Satay - Naan Corner in Ampang, in between International School and RSPCA, called
Nur Satay.
21. Banana Leaf - Kannas in SS2, behind Lisa De Inn hotel
22. Nasi Lemak - Suzi corner, next to Ampang city (used to be called Kerris)
23. Won Ton Mien/Char Siew ? Jalan Sungai Besi; on the way to PLUS. Only open at
7pm-2am, a car repair shop by day.
24. Beef Brisket noodles ? Tengkat Tong Shin; runs parallel to Jalan Alor. Stall
near the beginning of the road. Open at night till late.
25. Char Siew/Chicken rice ? Tengkat Tong Shin; further up the road. Old prewar shophouse. This has to be the drop dead unhealthiest piece of anything
you can insert in your mouth in KL? but to die for. Chicken is strictly as filler to make sure you don’t get a heart attack overdosing on char siew.
26. Fishballs ? Tengkat Tong Shin; a little further up the road from char siew. Stall inside a coffee shop. This guy is good look at the amount of people he employs to help out!
27. Hokkien mee (KL style ? thick, black, yummy (sounds kinky)) ?
Petaling Street;
at the intersection opposite Hong Leong Bank. Full of porcine
goodness. Still the gold
standard of Hokkien mee (Lisa:DAMN YUMMY!!).
28. Seafood noodles ? Segambut; near to Auto Bavaria. A big bowl full of noodles and assorted mussels, prawns, cuttlefish, fish etc? for reasonable price.
Pick of soup ?
clear, tom yam, curry. Forget the rest, go for the curry. Soya bean
with cincau not bad. Avoid on Sunday mornings. You will wait for an hour?
29. Ploughman’s Lunch ? Finnegan’s Seri Hartamas. A big plate filled with a pot of
pate, slices of ham, pickle, onion, chunks of cheese, a slab of butter, 4 hunks of
bread. If you are EXTREMELY hungry, this one’s for you.
30. Chef’s salad ? Flagz; behind Souled Out. This salad is as all
salads should be ?
crunchy FRESH veggies, and the dressing is to die for. Easily the best salad in town.
And I don’t even like salad. Beer is the freshest in town too ? great
bite?
31. Hokkien Mee (Penang style ? otherwise known as Prawn noodles) ?
Champ’s; Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar Baru. Standard gone down somewhat recently, but
still head and
shoulders above all others in KL. You’ll have to go to Penang to beat this.
32. Char Kway Teow ? Bukit Damansara; behind Hock Lee supermarket, next to Shell.
Corner stall inside coffee shop. Best in KL. The fellow has been frying for longer than
I can recall, and he is so good that you may have to wait up to 45 minutes during lunchtime. Doesn’t use too much oil ? almost perfect. As above,
you’ll have to go to Penang to beat this. Other stalls in the same shop not bad.
33. Chicken rice ? Jalan Gasing; very close to the Federal Highway, same row as Southern Bank(?) 2 shops ? one in the middle, one in the corner. Can’t
decide which is superior, but both are very good. Middle one has Ipoh taugeh?
34. Bak Kut Teh ? Klang, just about anywhere. Hokkien Association off the main
highway leading to the heart of Klang is a good place to start for beginners.
35. Dim Sum ? Marriott Hotel. Chinese restaurant here serves northern China style dim
sum. Easily best dim sum in town. If a little pricey.
36. Fish head ? off Jalan Sungai Besi; just past Won Ton Mien, turn left right after
BP. Three shops clumped together. All look dilapidated but don’t
worry. Don’t know
what type of fish they get their heads from, but I suspect freshwater
fish. Hot sauce
fish head to die for. Extremely reasonable prices.
37. Bak Kut Teh ? Segambut; go past Auto Bavaria, follow road all the way until you see a Chinese temple on your left. Enter the temple courtyard and you will see a tin shack where they serve bak kut teh. Not quite up there with Klang, but nothing to sneeze at. Go for yam rice rather than white rice.
38. Nasi Kandar/Kerabu/Laut ? Taman Tun; the other end of Secret Recipe in a store on
the same block, usually with a van outside. Truly Kelantanese style.
Only in the morning though.
39. Seafood ? Pulau Carey; get to Jalan Banting and follow signs to Pulau Carey.
place called Kang Guan, just before the actual bridge onto the island. Cheap!
40. Nasi Lemak ? Tang Lin at Lake Gardens, near the Clinic/Hospital.
Only open when government depts open
