Orkid Ria Seafood Restaurant, Langkawi, Malaysia

Yein Jee — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 18:59:07 +0000

Dinner at Orkid Ria Seafood Restaurant during my Langkawi trip in August 2009. A visit to Langkawi Island wouldn’t be complete without a seafood meal, and we decided to splurge a bit with…

Lobster muahaha!!!

Lobster stir-fried with chilli paste; probably not a wise option, as the strong seasoning was too dominant that it’s hard to taste the original lobster flavour. Nice texture though; freshness at its best…

Kin Shui Tei Japanese Restaurant, Tropicana, PJ

Yein Jee — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 09:38:26 +0000

Lunch at Kin Shui Tei Japanese Restaurant at Tropicana Golf & Country Resort last Sunday. First heard about the restaurant from my ex Japanese boss years ago, who recommended the place for its authentic Japanese cuisine…

Somehow it took me years to make my maiden visit, which turned out to be one of the best Japanese meals I’ve ever had; guess it’s better late than never…

Yein Jee — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 15:34:58 +0000

Klias Wetland is a mangrove forest reserve in Sabah, famous for being the habitat of the endangered proboscis monkey (known for its big, long nose) that is endemic to the Borneo Island in South East Asia.

Klias Wetland was the first destination during our Kinabalu trip in March 2009; it was my second visit to the place (first in 2006). Sharing some photos below…

River fish, Fatty Tiger Restaurant, Puchong Jaya

Yein Jee — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 15:54:50 +0000

Was thinking of having fish for dinner yesterday (Jan 10) and bumped into the restaurant by chances while making rounds at Puchong Jaya.

The restaurant dubbed itself as a ‘wild natural river fish specialist’, and I am very much a fish lover (in edible sense)… so it clicked as soon as I saw the restaurant.

Steamed bating fish, presumably a kind of catfish… fresh and delicious

LaLa Chong Seafood Restaurant, Subang, Selangor

Yein Jee — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 13:52:47 +0000

Dinner on New Year’s Day at the Lala Chong Seafood Restaurant, a popular place located just opposite of Subang Airport, Selangor, Malaysia.

Used to dine at here occasionally when I was staying nearby at Kelana Jaya, but this was my first visit since moving to my new place in late 2007.

The restaurant’s signature dish is Siong-Tong La-La (clamps in special stock), and they always maintained a decent standard with their crabs. There are a few other gems in their menu, but I would advise staying away from the fish dishes. Overall a good dining place with reasonable price.

Cheow Sang Restaurant, SS2, Petaling Jaya

Yein Jee — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 07:18:22 +0000

Cheow Sang was one of my most frequented restaurants in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, before I moved to Bukit Jalil in Sept 2007. In fact it’s almost a year since I dined there prior to my visit last Saturday (Nov 1).

The restaurant is popular for its Bak Kut Teh, spicy fish head and herbal chicken etc. Bak Kut Teh (literally ‘meat bone tea’ in Chinese-Hokkien) is a popular delicacy in Malaysia and Singapore. It’s primarily a thick herbal soup with pork, innards and ribs.

Cheow Sang’s BKT is just ok to be frank… what I like is their spicy fish head (pic) instead, which is cooked with fermented soy beans and fresh chillies. Not too spicy, but enough to make people sweating on their forehead… and its fish head (which was cut into cubes) is almost always fresh.

The bill was RM65 (~USD18) for three person.

Restaurant address: 24, Jalan SS 2/10, Petaling Jaya (Chow Yang area).
Phone: 03-7875 1998; closed every Thursday.

Chicken nest bun, Clan Restaurant, Sri Petaling

Yein Jee — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 14:56:24 +0000

Dim Sum breakfast a couple of weeks ago at the Clan Restaurant in Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The restaurant’s signature dish is a creation of its own… the gai wo bao (鸡窝包 – literally chicken nest bun) which is basically a combo of two popular dim sum dishes i.e. the loh mai gai (糥米鸡 – chicken glutonous rice) and chicken bun.

To be frank, I am not a fan… it’s a clever idea, but the taste just doesn’t click for me. My sister kinda love it though; and judging from their business, lots of the folks seem to like it too.

These days almost all dim sum restaurants in the Sri Petaling area is selling this chicken nest bun, but Clan Restaurant is still the most popular place for the dish… originality still matters obviously.

For KL folks, the address of the restaurant… 140, Jalan Radin Anum, Sri Petaling.
