I have been eating Teik Kee’s fishball noodles since I was in primary school (20 years plus ago)… back then it was just a stall inside restaurant Teng Hou (can’t remember how its spelled, different name now) where a mother and son team used to served, if I remember correctly, the father started the business first.

Anyway, even back then the fishball noodles is very popular with the folks in Subang Jaya and I remembered my mum likes to go there to pack the noodles back and my favourite back then was their fishballs and pork skin served with the noodles.

It have since moved to the corner coffeeshop next to BHP petrol station in SS14 and is now located at its own small cozy corner shop in SS14. According to the signboard, they started business back in 1982. My mum still fancy their noodles and its still very popular with the locals, once I went there on a weekday morning and was told the queue is about 45 mins wait and I had to share table.

They have a variety of fish and meat balls to choose from, basically you take your own choice of fishballs or meatballs that you fancy and take a number and wait for your noodles to be served. I still like their fishballs and also the taufu pok, the rest are so so to me. Noodles wise, its the normal choices of mee, mee hoon, koay teow or lou shi fun either in soup or dried style.

I got my meehoon soup with 4 pieces of balls and 2 taufu pok plus 1 chinese tea ice at RM5.70. Quite standard pricing I guess. But good news is quality is still the same and the fishballs and the soup is still very yummy. Keep it up Teik Kee!

Located on Jalan SS14/1, Tien Kee Soup & Porridge is quite low profile, air conditioned and closed up in this quiet row of shops. I happened to be passing Subang Jaya today and thought I gave it a try, its been open for a while and featured on other blogs and newspapers quite a bit.

From the name, looks like porridge and soup are their specialty. Quite interesting, this shop seems to have a mix of Teow Chew cooking which is the porridge and Hakka cooking like Hakka abacus, braised pork, etc. The porridge looks interesting with fishes but a bit costly, starts from RM8 for the cheapest. Anyhow I think their prices have gone up a bit comparing to prices I read from other blogs.

Anyway, I tried their Hakka Abacus, yam with braised pork and a bowl of pork bittergound soup. The abacus “suen pun chee” is RM6.00 per plate and I must say its very good, not too sticky, can taste the yam moderately and nice. Yam with braised pork is ok, quite normal at RM12.00 for quite a big plate. The soup is very good, simple with bittergound, pork, tofu, liver, etc. in it at RM6.50.

I also tried their long bean rice, RM2.00 for a small bowl (listed as big bowl in menu, I wonder how small is the small one), its not bad with long beans, pork, dried shrimps and mushroom in it, but I find it a bit costly, better stick to white rice next time!

They also have things like yam rice, vinegar pig trotter, hakka braised pork with black fungus, etc. There are a lot of fish soup and porridges available too but can be quite costly. From the pix it looks like they put the whole fish in e.g. promphet fish porridge at RM16.

Not to say cheap to me, but at least the taste is good and still worth trying ;).

This place in SS19, Subang Jaya (same row as Hong Leong Bank) have been around for a very long time, I used to go there after school for lunch with friends during secondary school ;). Anyhow, the stall here serve excellent pan mee for those who likes soft pan mee.

Look for the pan mee stall, you have to go there, take a number and sit down. Later, when its your turn to order, they will come and get your orders. On weekends, the queue can get pretty long. We were lucky that day, waited less than 10 minutes to be served and our food came another 5 minutes later.

The pan mee here are teared by hand and they make it thick and soft, I mean really soft, probably best to eat with a spoon. I had the dried one, its quite different and yummy with lots of toppings plus again, good pan mee can’t go without good chili sauce ;).

RM4.00 for a big bowl and RM3.50 for a small one. The other thing unique is that the coffeeshop also sells sugar cane and coconut juice :).

I remember when I was kid, probably in primary school at that time, one of the common chores I had to do is to be the boy who runs down from the car to help my family members to buy stuff. And speaking about this nasi lemak @ Restoran Wong Soon Kee in SS14, Subang Jaya, my family was a regular at the stall.

Those days, the nasi lemak stall sells the whole day till dinner time, my mum would usually ask me to go down and buy just curry chicken to go with other dishes at home for dinner. I remember its just RM3 for like 2-3 pieces of chicken with a lot of gravy.

Later on, the restoran decided to run a mix rice stall and the nasi lemak then had to close for lunch because its giving too much competition to the mix rice stall. So, if you want to eat at this place, be there for breakfast before 11am and they opened again at 2pm plus, 3 to be safe and close by 5-6pm. There is always a queue at this place, no matter what time of the day you go.

The curry chicken comes in thick and coconut rich gravy, fishes are fried and coated with sambal, mutton are curry style and mussels in thick curry gravy too. You will have the option for cabbage or long beans usually as vegetables. But the favourite here are their fried whole chicken drumstick (which you will also find at the mix rice stall, copycat :P) which are just excellent, crunchy on the outside yet reserving the tender chicken juice inside. You can also choose either to have coconut milk rice or chee cheong fun to with all this.

I have the chee cheong fun with a chicken drumstick, mussels and some vegetables and it costs me RM7. But its all worth it, this is one of my all time favourite thing to eat and is definately one of the best chinese nasi lemak around.
