I had always been wanting to visit Jalan Sayur in Pudu to check out the food street there… finally on a Sunday afternoon, I had hours to kill and while driving out for tea, I decided to head to Jalan Sayur. Parking on Sunday was ok, I parked at Jalan Pasar and cut through the alleys to Jalan Sayur.

It’s basically a hidden street in between shophouses in Pudu converted into a food street with stalls offering all sorts of varieties with tables and stools all along the street. From what I observed, this place is mainly serving the local market as their main customer as it is the usual KL street hawker kind of environment, not many tourists may be able to take it but for people like me, its perfect!

Some of the offering I noticed here are things like chee cheong fun (quite popular from the crowd), homemade pau, porridge, all sort of noodles and my main objective, fried chicken! You will notice this small stall with crowd around it waiting for take aways. Winner’s Fried Chicken offers fried chicken drumstick RM2.40, wings RM2.00, L shaped drumstick RM 3.80, etc.

Although I am just looking for a snack, I took the L shape drumstick plus a pack of gizzards for RM4.80 and then headed for the tong shui stall for a big bowl (noodles size bowl) of leng chee kang at RM2.80.

There’s definately a huge varieties of food here and this place provides a very good local feel as well, worth checking out for a good street food feast!

Mui Hiong is known for their salted fish dishes… this humble makan place is located right at busy Jalan Medan Imbi. They specialized in salted fish dishes and the most popular one here are their steamed pork cake with salted fish.

I visited this place during lunch time with Andrew after one of our meeting in town. Most of the folks that comes here seems to know the lady boss very well, I am assuming mostly their business are from regular customers around the Imbi area.

We ordered the famous steamed pork cake with salted fish, braised pork with yam and a very unique dish, taugeh fried with salted fish and bittergound. The steam pork is very good as usual, but the portion is small as usual too. I would recommend each person to have his/her own steam pork then add on one or two dishes, its about RM5 each.

The braised pork with yam is so so only, cost about RM15-18, not really worth it. The taugeh with salted fish and bittergound is good, bittergound give a slight bitter but cooling taste then balance up with the salted fish, very nice!

Overall, it cost RM42.60 for 2 persons with rice plus drinks. Not that cheap but next time I will just order each person a steam pork and then share 1 nice dish like the taugeh. They also serve steam soup here if you fancy. Food is delicious and living up to its salted fish name, will visit again, wanna see what other salted fish delicacy they have ;) .

My mum have been telling me about how much of goodies there is to eat at OUG as she frequently travel there with her “si lai tong” (aunty gang) to shop at the wet market and for breakfast. So one fine itchy saturday morning, me, miharu, kiddie, ciku and ed went there for breakfast.

Just outside the wet market parking entrance, you will notice a row of shop and just outside the shop, the whole road is lined with tables and chairs in open air style in between 2 coffeeshops at both corners. We decided to joined the fun and check out what is the fuss all about.

Ciku and kiddie shared a pork noodles and ordered some chee cheong fun for us to share. I contribute popiah for sharing while having a whole bowl of pork belly pepper soup noodles to myself while miharu got the lam mee which looks nothing like lam mee and with a lot of prawns inside. As for Ed, he just ate all our contribution, hahaha… well done Ed, can’t finish without you :P .

The food was good but what is cool is their prices here are still very reasonable at RM3.50-3.80 per bowl, with big prawns, just imagine. The funny thing is that they sort have a trend going on here, everyone that serve you food bring in on a tray. The tray will have an old can (from can food) which have lots of coins or small notes in it for changing money on the spot, quite cute :) .

Parking however is a nightmare here, now I remember why I seldom come here. Unfortunately we are a bit late, otherwise there are a lot of goodies to check out as we noticed the busy activities at the market with people selling biscuits, kueh, flowers, fruits, etc.

Maybe wait for another itchy weekend morning, will try to check out this place again earlier in the morning ;) .
