Sam You is a very well known place by PJ folks for good food plus good price. So don’t be surprise if you can’t get a table if you don’t do your booking but there are some tables outside the restaurant you can sit too if you don’t want to wait.

The service here is fast, efficient and helpful too. I reserved a table for 8 of us to celebrate my mum’s birthday last weekend.

We were offered a promotion of seafood pot at RM25 only and “chak sing pan” (seven stars grouper) fish at only RM7 per 100g.. that’s quite ok for an aircond restaurant. We went for the seafood pot but took stir fried fish fillet instead of the whole fish.

The other goodies we ordered are their self made tofu (with soy milk) with are braised with fishballs, stir fried asparagus and pork ribs.

Overall the food is good but I find the ribs a little too sweet and the fish fillet a little too salty. Most of the stuff are valued for money but the ribs cost a bit more. The bill came to Rm130++ for 8 of us, not too bad at least service is fast and good here and that’s a reason why there’s always such a large crowd here.

So if you plan to visit Sam You, make sure you reserve a table .

Just opposite the old Giant in SS5D, Kelana Jaya lies a row of stalls that sells various Malay and Indian goodies!

Occasionally I would stopped here to take away some tea time snacks back to the office when I am out for appointments.

The varieties here is good, from keropok lekor to rojak, cendol, burger ramli down to all sort of malay kueh can be found.

My favourite here is the Indian van selling Pakoda. Its a kind of fried kueh made from potato flour (if I remembered correctly)  with chopped onions, chili padi and coriander leaves in them, very very good, crispy outside and soft inside! For RM1.00 you get a handful of them.

I also like to buy the pulut panggang here, 5 pcs for RM2.00 and the apong balik is good too at RM2.00 for a big piece but sometimes they pre-made, just wish they make it hot on each order, will be so much nicer!

I think the last time I had fish and chips last like last year July when I was at Fremantle having Cicerello’s – WA’s No. 1 Fish ‘n Chips!

I didn’t had much of thought about Fish & Co. because the appearance of the place really did not attract me at all but Miharu was in the mood for some fish and chips and so we ended up here.

We ordered the fried calamari as starters, that set us back by RM10.90 but it was really good. Calamari are thinly siliced and deep fried with coating of batter and herbs. The calamari goes great with the chili sauce provided.

Next up are some traditional fish and chips for me, RM9.90. Its a decent piece of deep fried fish, crispy from the outside but flaky soft from the inside. Its a little oily to me but the fries that goes with it are good. I asked for some vinegar to go with it but unfortunately the vinegar served here are really those you get at Cicerello’s, its just too strong.

Miharu had the New York fish and chips which is stuffed with cheese and its a little cheesy but better fragrant and rich at RM10.90.

Overall, the food here is good, service not too bad but would just been great if they had good and light vinegar for the fish .
