It was a rough and tiring week for me… feeling my ultraman’s light beeping low batt warning after lunch, Joe suggested we go for lunch at Sentul since its on the way back from our meeting. So we head on to Restoran Makanan Laut Zhen Liew Siang in Sentul Raya in KL.

At first I thought Joe was referring to Restoran Makanan Laut Lau Heong (Lau Heong is Cantones for Liew Siang) in Sentul Perdana. So I was a bit confused when Joe brought me there. According to Joe, he used to dined there since the Jalan Ipoh time, and after moving to Sentul, there’s sort of a break off and therefore you have 2 of them.

But this one in Chinese, Zhen Liew Siang means the original Liew Siang ;). Anyhow, since there are just 3 of us, we ordered the ever famous stringray with szechuan style chili on top, steamed. Then the must have sotong and prawns sizzling on banana leaf! We add a fried sweet potato leaf just to balance up our diet :).

To me, the taste in both place is yummy and very good! You just gotta have rice and you will, add rice for the sotong and prawns dish! Each of us got a huge prawns and a bunch of sotong, only complain not enough of the yummy sauce to take with rice!

The stringray is excellent too, soft and the chili sauce on top makes it perfect, again with rice! So, be prepare to add more rice eating here, you can’t resist, trust me.

Total meal comes to RM45.00 for 3 person :). Joe also recommended other dishes here like their curry fish head and deep fried pork knuckle, I will save those next time when we have more people joining.

Open: 11am to 3pm, 5.30pm to 11pm.

Lunch time and it was drizzling in Bangsar… I picked up Ah Soh for lunch and we were rounding the old Bangsar trying to find parking but its just impossible… then we decided to just go to Bangsar Village 2 (new wing) as parking would be easier plus the rain is getting heavier.

So we ended up here and I took Ah Soh to Delicious to try the Duck Confit Spaghetti which me and my sister really like. Its not cheap, RM24.90 exclude tax, but heck, the place is packed and people are in line for a table, global recession? hehehe… not yet maybe.

Anyway the Duck Confit Spaghetti are basically duck leg, cooked with it owns fat, its a complicated process, very hard to make, you can read about it here. It is served with spaghetti. The duck are crispy but meat are still ok inside, pretty neat.

I got a absolutely delicious cheeseburger, that’s how they called it anyway… which also goes for RM24.90. You get a quite thick beef burger covered with melted cheese and some what looks like sourkaurt on top. The buns are toasted with butter and some greens to go with it. The sides of the burger are more greens, I think they added baslamic vinegar, really crispy frieds and tomato sauce they made themselves.

Overall I enjoyed my cheeseburger a lot, its really nice, especially taking it with the greens and I really like the frieds with their own made tomato sauce ;)… yummy!

Its a bit costly, but food here looks really good, especially cakes and desserts, but for lunch, I am already filled up. Thank you Ah Soh for buying lunch me a wonderful lunch ;). Oh ya, the other good thing, WIFI is free here!

This guy in USJ2 named his nyonya style curry noodles after himself, Fu Shoulou, direct translation means Moustache Man as how the boss looks like. You will see him standing at his stall there coordinating his workers around. Business looks good here, as the noodles sell fast and you can see the 3-4 workers cooked and served non stop.

The curry is light in color but very tasty and is served with tau pok, long beans and topping of your choice. You can choose roast pork (siew yok) - RM5.00, string rays curry - RM5.00 or lala seafood - RM15.00. The curry noodles is very nice, light and tasty, I got the roast pork one and its really nice. I heard the lala seafood one is big and packed with goodies!

USJ2 is one of the good place for breakfast and lunch in the USJ area, there are 2 Chinese coffeeshop there with good food and a row of stalls selling soya bean, fried stuff, etc.

I like to go to Kedai Kopi USJ2 just next to Shell petrol station, the yong tau foo here are quite nice. Its made to order, so basically you are given a piece of paper where you note down your orders and they will then make your yong tau foo based on the order, meaning start filling up there and then.

The yong tau foo is good but the soup is not nice. To take with the yong tau foo, I like to order their curry chee cheong fun. Its chee cheong fun topped with a thick curry gravvy with mushrooms and this fried fish cake like slices.

Whenever its lunch time, one of my favourite thing to do is to buy rojak as snacks for tea ;). Most of the time I would go for the one in Damansara Jaya next to Atria or if I am travelling to or from KL, will stop and buy at Damansara Heights. But quite a while back, KC told me of a good one in Subang Jaya.

This is probably the thickest rojak (sauce) I can find so far in Klang Valley and its really the penang style which I like, heavy prawn paste taste and super super thick. The essence of a good rojak to me is basically the sauce, which this place scored very well, followed by the toppings. Toppings used here are crunched peanuts, sesame seeds, har peng (fritters) and slices of dried cuttlefish!

My only comment is the fruits given are too little but there’s plenty of sauce, so the next time I buy, I will add some of my own fruits or you can even buy just the sauce. How good is the sauce, put it this way, when the fruits are cleaned, I start to clean up the sauce with the bits of peanuts I can find :P.

The rojak is sold at RM4.00 if you just use plastic bag or RM4.20 if you want a foam box (toxic anyway, save the money!). The sauce alone is RM2.00 and can last up to a week in the fridge. Parking is a challenge here on lunch time but its worth the trip!
