Siem Reap Preview

Stomach on Wheels in Siem Reap!

We went to a historical city in Siem Reap, Cambodia and stayed at Golden Temple Villa.

We tried a Cambodian dish called Amok dish and ran amok after that.

If you are in Angkor Wat, dont eat at the the stalls there as they slither your throat.

It was an interesting trip as Angeline Jolie once starred a movie there

Penang Balik Pulau Durians

For Durian lovers, a trip to Titi Krawang stall in Balik Pulau in Penang should not be missed.

The old man selling the durians there will challenge you to a durian eating contest.

 

The challenge is if you are able to finish one durian seed from his special breed, you can eat all you can from his stall.

 

No phone number but location is the Balik Pulau road.

 

If you are coming from Batu Ferringhi, the stall is at the right hilly side.

 

So far nobody has won, he boasted.

Around Cheras and Shah Alam

Hi Folks

Well, sharing you some makan place and this morning, a friend took me to a Dim Sum Shop in Taman Midah, Cheras.


The shop is managed by a few Christians  and they worship in True Jesus Church in Taman Midah which is at the back of their shop.


1) Tung Jing ( Dim Sum) Restaurant
The Dim Sum is not too bad and there is a specialty bun " Por Lor"(pineapple) pau which it is only available during public holiday & Sunday.

Good for their Tom Yom Mee
The shop close on Saturday as its their sabbath day.


In front of the shop, they grew a bougainvilla and as Chinese belief, bougainvilla is not good for business as it has thorns which will eat away the fortune and its flowers like a wagging tongue and wide mouth with vomit but as Christians, they dispelled that.


Check it out  at 90, Jalan Midah1, Taman Midah, Kuala Lumpur
Tel : 03-91309978




2) Meng Kee Char Siew King ( Wong )

Restoran Tak Fok (Kepong) & Chong Toong Kee (TTDI)

Hi Folks,

A friend invited us to sample a HongKong seafood restaurant in Desa Aman Puri, Kepong, a place where I havent ventured before.

1) Restoran Tak Fok Seafood
2-2A, Jalan Desa, 1/3, Desa Aman Puri, Kepong
52100 Kuala Lumpur
Tel: 03-62723346

It was quite an adventurous trip for us us as we discovered new makan places when we got lost to an unexplored territory.
There was this Restoran Soon Hock near to Sierra Mas .
As you come out from Kepong Plus Toll, head towards Sierra Mas, make a 4 o'clock turn at the small roundabout, follow the small road & you will find the shop there. It was also crowded. This was recommended to us by the locals there.
That will be our next target.

2) Restoran Chong Toong Kee
18, Jalan Wan Kadir  ( ?) (hidden by plastered
advertisement)
Taman Tun Dr Ismail 60000 Kuala Lumpur
Behind IBM/Vads building opposite TTDI wet market.
Ipoh Hor Fun, Prawn wanton, chicken, taugey &
vegetables.
The chicken texture is smooth & tender and you can lick every drop of
the chicken stew.

Bon Appetit

Restoran Loon Sing (Nilai)

Hi Folks,

While sending my friend's son to Nottingham University in Semenyih on Sep 10, 2010, we headed to a much talk about Restoran Loon Sing in Nilai which is famous for their award winning Fuzhou dishes and "Fatt Tiew Cheong" being one of them .

The "Fatt Tiew Cheong" came with a hefty price tag at RM 99.00 per bowl and 3 of us shared out one bowl for food-tasting.

As we opened the bowl, the sweet scent began to permeate the air and the smell is as good as the taste which is as good as Ah Yat Seafood in PJ.

Next came the chef signature dish which is  Dongpo Pork and have to order in advance.
It is sweet, sticky and served with mantou.
Although there is half an inch of fat, it is firm and nice unlike char siew fat
which is soft. At RM 38, its worth a try.

We also  tried their Dim Sum which are fresh & tender.

Except for the "Fatt Tiew Cheong",  the rest of the food price is affordable but for the adventurous, the highest price for one table is RM 3030.00

Restuarant looked very posh.

Service is fast, efficient, friendly and ample parking lots.

Check it out at
Loon Sing Restaurant, Pt 2484, Kawasan Perindustrian Nilai 2, Block D,
71800 Nilai, Negeri Sembilan (same building as Nilai Convention Hall)
