This place have been around for a long time in Klang, just at Jalan Pekan Baru off Jalan Meru (near Klang Parade). This is one of the many places that’s already serving dried bak kut teh when other places have not done so.

On a weekday morning, the crowd is quite ok but lunch time and weekend will be packed. I ordered the soup as well as the dried one. The dried one is not bad but not spicy enough and lack those dried “yau yee” that makes it yummy! I still prefer the soup version of the BKT here

The only time I been to Putra Heights was to check out some new houses there with a few friends many years ago, which unfortunately the only memories from that how I wanted to take my digital camera from the car for my friend but walked into an uncovered manhole! Thank god I survived with only minor cuts

Anyhow, a friend of mine have been bragging about this good Chinese makan place in Putra Heights and one fine evening I was invited to join for dinner. Its located in the housing area there where you will find a 1 row of shoplot and its the corner shop you can’t miss.

The Ocean Seafood really overwhelm you with the amount of choices of dishes they have, from the usual home cook dishes up to luxurious restaurant standard dishes like shark fin, abalone, etc. Business is good on a Sunday night even though its raining then.

We went with normal dishes like marinated pork ribs, yam prawns, claypot tofu, abalone mix vegetables (small slices), etc. Its surprisingly good and I wouldn’t mind traveling all the way there to eat. Prices are ok too, not too bad for KL standard.

I am right here at this shop now in Brunei, its located in Kuilap area. Looks like a Japanese makan place from the outside but when you come in, it’s actually a Taiwanese pearl tea concept place that sells all sort of food.

The menu will really confuse you, talk about the paradox of choice! Drinks plus food, there are more than 330 types to choose from. I got so confused, I just asked the waitress what is good. They have all sort of pearl tea and juices, some with unique name like fall in love, love forever, etc. But being alone here, I just settled for ice water, too stoned to think after my meeting.

For food, they have their udong (Udon) noodles in various ways, soup, fried, spicy, etc. Rice comes in more varieties, you name it, they should have it. Anyhow I somehow picked the five herbs chicken chop. I am eating it now as I write this (since got free WIFI), what an experience

The chicken chop is basically fried chicken fillet with bread crumbs, then top with a five herbs chinese sauce with chili, pepper, onions, lemon grass in it. At first, it taste like normal sweet and sour sauce but after that you can taste the chinese herbs in the sauce. Its not bad really. The chicken chop comes with rice and fries, weird! The chicken chop cost $5.00, not bad.

This is a good place to sit down and do some work or just chit chat with friends as the ambiance is good with aircond. *still chewing*
