I am meeting up with Sky & Ed for dinner and until the 11th hour, I had yet to figure out where to eat. Then I remembered Micol telling me that Old Klang Road have this place to serve fried sweet potato noodles, so I gave her a call but our friend a bit hopeless la in this area… haha… so I struggled with EDGE and search the net and found out about this tai chow place behind FGA church in Old Klang Road.

To be exact, its right next to Wisma FGA on the sloop and its a wooden house painted in white with no signboard. The signature is their Hokkien fried sweet potato noodles (chau siu fun) which are noodles made of sweet potato flour and sliced. The other is the fried pak kor (nian gao) which are the same as the nian gao we eat but minus the sweetness. Both are fried hokkien style with vege, pork, shrimps and squids. Of the 2, I prefer the nian gao one, as its softer and absorb the taste better where the sweet potato noodles are thicker and more chewy.

The lady there also recommended us to try their special for that day, pork cooked in a East meet West style, I called it the East meets West Pork. Basically pork cooked chinese style with a bit of fats (like kao yuk) then covered with a western bbq like sweet sour sauce on top. We also order a kangkung belacan just to balance up our diet a little .

It cost RM55.00 for the above for 3 of us, its really something different, very tasty but I felt thirsty the whole night, too much “mei ching” in the food I guess!

I have heard about this place months ago, being told that the char siew here is excellent. I googled a little and found out that its actually Meng Kee Char Siew, same as the famous one in Tangkat Tong Shin in KL.

Finally I had a chance to go and try today, if you are heading to Shah Alam from Old Subang Airport road along Glenmarie, its located at the shops on your left (then 2nd right) after the Shell station. This place is packed and parking is really tough during lunch time, advise to go early.

Its a corner shop, looks like there are a lot of food choices in the area too. The floor is quite oily from the dripping char siew as they brought it out from the kitchen behind, so do take care when walking.

We ordered for 7 persons which includes char siew (bbq pork), chinese sausages (yun cheong – the really dark one), roast and white chicken plus a plate of taugeh. It was really delicious, fatty as it should be the char siew but it did not kick in as much as it should be, expectation too high maybe? But we still ended ordering another 1 person’s portion of the char siew and this time, it taste much nicer, when the char siew melts in your mouth feeling, simply because its still hot! So, looks like the only way to enjoy this char siew is to have it while its still hot .

Some of the makan kaki-s still prefer the char siew at Famous Seremban Favourites, had to agree with them la. Bill came up to RM80.80 for 7 of us plus rice and drinks, pretty standard pricing. Overall, I would say nice, at least better than the char siew I make ;( and worth the visit if you are in the area . Give it a try!

It was lunch time in Cyberjaya… so where to do you go for lunch there? Johnson who used to spent a lot of time in Cyberjaya at his previous company suggest a place in Dengkil and we decided to check it out. Located at Jalan Puchong Dengkil just opposite the Chinese school, its a corner shop of 2 storeys.

Most of the lunch crowd here seems to be IT workers from Cyberjaya and looks like quite a popular place too. There are 5 of us and we ordered a tofu with minced pork, fried sweet potato leaves, buttermilk chicken and fried pork belly.

The tofu is ok, deep fried then top with minced pork, but the one at New Paris in PJ is still better I think. The vege is standard la, no comments on that. The buttermilk chicken is quite nice, basically “lai yau” in Cantonese where the chicken is fried with buttermilk. Their pork belly have a unique style known as “cheong pao”, direct translation means “sauce explode”. Usually pork belly would be fried with salted fish and dark sauce but this one is pre-marinated then deep fried till crispy.

Overall I think the food is ok la, RM63 is the damage for 5 of us plus tea and rice. Thanks Johnson for showing this place .
