Cha Ca La Vong is a restaurant in Hanoi famous for its grilled fish (Cha Ca) dish which was created some 130 years ago. The restaurant/dish is so famous that the street is named after it, and it’s featured in almost every single Hanoi’s travel guide.
There’s one problem though, as some other restaurants are riding on its fame with similar name and menu to take advantage of naive foreign travellers, and I was one of the fallen prey of the conspiracy during my Hanoi trip in July 2008…
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.
