Big Tree Sg Way… this is one of my favourite for a fast and simple home cooked style lunch… big fried style that is, few simple dishes with rice! The best thing they have here are their fried kembong fish! If you are ever in Sg Way, say front the main street from Federal Highway, turn right before the police station and you will see this attap place surrounding a big tree with durian stalls around it on your left. Inside housed 2 eateries, a good pan mee stall and a big fried (direct translation from Cantonese la, hehe).

Their kembong fish (Mackerel) are always big and fresh, it is deep fried, then covered with minced garlic and chili padi with a light soya sauce. The fish is crisped so usually not too much worry on bones and it goes very well with rice.If you don’t fancy kembong they have a various other type of salt water fish choices but the only difference is its a whole lot cheaper and the fish size are small. So if you have a big crowd, there may need to serve 2-3 fishes but good thing is when there is only 2-3 persons, you can sit order the fish :).

The other regular dish here are their hakka stewed pork which are basically pork, marinated then deep fried before being stewed with black fungus and other sauces, this is a traditional Hakka dish ;). They also have a variety of other home cooked style dishes and you can also order other big fried thing like a certain dish on rice or noodles.

I discovered a new dish here, its “tau foo mun chap” which means tofu mix braised. The tofu (which in my opinion is super soft) is braised with a mix of prawns, pork, pork intestines, etc. Quite a nice dish. Our order of 9 kembong fishes, hakka stewed pork, tofu mix braised and 2 regular fried vegetables’ bill comes up to RM99.00 for 9 persons including rice and drinks.

The only thing is, if you want to come here, be prepared to be smoked! I usually smell like fried noodles after I makan here :P.

If you do go Sg Way during lunch time, check out this place, pretty decent food. If you come up from the federal highway to Sg Way main street, turn right after the wet market and its on your left after the bicycle shop and parking lot. Its just zinc roof with a big tree on top.

We tried the pan mee here, I had the dried one and we ordered some extra dumpling. The pan is quite decent but what makes it good is really the chili sauce itself! The toppings for the pan mee are plenty full as well. Dumpling is big and nice too at RM1 each. Pan mee is RM3.50 and herbal tea is about RM1.00. There is also a tai chow stall next door where you can have fried noodles, rice, etc.

In the middle of the Sg. Way busy main street in Petaling Jaya, next to a pawn shop is a small alley of hawkers food, there are basically a mix rice stall, a chicken rice stall, a fried noodles stall, 1 for drinks and a claypot chicken rice stall.

We decided to go for the claypot chicken rice here. The rice are a bit dry to my liking, taste wise is just average but still ok to eat with nice bits of salted fish. Simple soup are also served with the rice.

This is a coffee shop next to the Sg. Way, PJ’s wet market. In the shop there are 2 stalls, 1 frying noodles and 1 frying dishes. There were 4 of us that day and we opted for dishes.

We ordered a snapper fish to be deep fried, fried yuk mak vege, local tofu with minced meat and a fried roast pork. Most of the dishes are good, but the greatest part was that the billed with rice only came out to be RM53.00 which is considered to be cheap in PJ! Not a bad place for a decent and reasonably priced meal.

After lunch, we bought some biscuits and coffee and pass it to the kung kung and poh poh at the Sg. Way Old Folks home which is near the market. You can see the old folks smiling when you call them, maybe the next time, should not just be food stuff, but actually spending time chatting?
