We are meeting up at Ed’s place in Kajang early in the morning on our trip to Batam, but thought we try out a unique breakfast in Kajang first, which are lat thong which means spicy soup in Chinese. Spicy soup for breakfast, now this is something new!
The shop is located at the alley to Lorong Mendaling from Jalan Mendaling in Kajang Town next to Langat river. They serve rice and porridge plus soup. The lady boss recommended us to try their lat thong or spicy soup for sure, which are gingery peppery hot spicy soup with pork and chicken in them. It hot alright but not the hottest stuff here and its still manageable, nice to go with rice.
Jason specifically wanted the Fai Tiew Kai which is a claypot chicken with fai tiew wine. Taste ok but wine taste is not strong enough.
We also ordered the chee keok sin which are braised vinegar pork legs which is quite normal la. One thing Ed’s friend told him as a must have is their “foh pau yok” meaning fire exploding pork in direct translation, hehe… and no joke, its living up to its name as its really spicy and tongue burning pork. It taste nice when you just put it in the mouth but after taking it, that’s when your mouth with explode!
Elaine our chili queen obviously love this place la… she keep commenting of the high quality = super spicy chili they provide here. The entire meal for 9 persons cost about RM90. Its a new experience for breakfast and good for spicy food lovers! Thanks Ed for taking the trouble to ask around and showing us here!
