At night time, the entire “chow yang SS2″ area turned into a popular makan place for PJ folks as most family opt to eat out on the weekend for rice and dishes kind of place. One of the mainly choices here is the Seeri Authentic Thai Restaurant.

The dishes are quite authentic except that they do not serve pork here. There are quite a range of choices for ala carte and they also provide set meals for RM6 up each.

I ordered a small seafood tomyam (RM15), squid fried with chilies (RM12) and a chicken fried with basil (RM12) for my dinner. The tomyam portion is good, serve in a charcoal heated pot with a generous amount of seafood (squid, prawns and fish) in it. It is a quite sour but not very spicy, which may be a good thing for folks like me after having too much spicy food on my last trip to Phuket recently.

The squid fried with chilies is nice, again taste is good, not too spicy but the squid are really good, soft and tender. The basil fried chicken is ok and goes well with my rice. For those who love spicy food, I think you will need to tell them to make it thai spicy standard for you .

The last time I tried to come here just 15 mins before their closing time, I was informed that they had sold out for that weekday night! That just show this place is so popular and the night I was here, the place was packed and we had to wait for a table.

The menu is very standard, just claypot chicken rice in its original form… either you have it plain, add salted fish, add chinese sausages, add egg or with extra chicken. I think that is the way it should really be with speciality store like this, no point have so many fancy options and dilute the original dish. The claypot chicken rice here are all still cooked with charcoal and that is how claypot chicken rice should be cooked too!

A small chicken rice starts at RM7.00 and the big one meant for 2 pax starts at RM13.00 with the various options mentioned above. A varieties of steamed soup is offered all flat at RM5 for a small pot good for 1 or 2 person to share in my opinion. There are also various vegetables and drinks to offer.

This is how ordering here works, once you get a table, the workers place empty plates and cutleries on your table and a menu. They will only take your drinks order on the table. Once you have decided what you want to eat, then you proceed to the counter at the kitchen, let the lady know your table number and what you want to order.

While waiting for our orders, Ah Fei was providing feedback telling me that I need to update my blog more.. haha… ok ok.. noted, will try to update more ya!

We took 2 big and 1 small claypot chicken rice, add with added salted fish and sausages. We share each pot with all 5 of us and funny thing is each pot tasted different. I think the kitchen must be rushing for the crowd… cause the first small pot was just ok, the second pot was good but the third pot is quite burnt.

Usually when its a bit burnt its fine and we would purposely want the “fan chew” or burnt rice as its crunchy and nice but the rice is not burnt harden, still soft but have this strong burnt taste on the third pot.

Anyway, other than the third pot, judging from the second pot, the rice does not stick and not too dry either so I guess that is why the shop is so packed! I didn’t try the soup, so can’t comment on that. But anyway, thumbs up to the shop for maintaining the good taste and authentic style of claypot chicken rice.

It was a busy weekday afternoon where I had to take time off lunch to do some banking in Uptown before having to rush for a launch. Since I had little time left to eat and is rushing, I thought I just grab some simple food on those mobile van stalls and eat on the go.

As I was walking towards them, I saw this motorbike stall next to HSBC and its quite packed. Turned out its selling chee cheong fun and I thought perfect, something not too heavy to keep me awake at the launch and fast to eat!

There’s quite a crowd at the mobile stall and its quite rare to find chee cheong fun on bikes nowadays especially in PJ… I took 5 pieces of the yong tau foo and 2 chee cheong fun with curry and sweet sauce mix costing me RM5.

Next to the bike are a bunch of shades that you can nicely sit and eat. The food is ok, normal chee cheong fun la but when you are rushing, can be quite nice to eat at one of these mobile stalls.
