There are many versions of char kuay teow around – some wet-ish, some spicier and some drier, depending on who’s behind the wok. In Klang Valley, I tend to favour the stall in Section 17 but a good friend of mine insisted I give Lorong Selamat Char Kuay Teow in USJ 14 a try. The [] The post...
How long would you wait for a bowl of pork noodles? 10 minutes? 30 minutes? Or an hour? The threshold of each individual is different and such differences became apparent when waiting for your bowl at the famous SS15 Pork Noodles. It’s been more than a year since Jien and I visited this stall because...
When it comes to Hakka style yong tau fu, I often get my fix from E Soo and Chan Chan in Kepong. Both are known for their craft but I recently discovered a pretty good version at Yee Kee Yong Tau Fu in SS14 Subang Jaya. Jien tried it with a few of his colleagues [] The post Yee Kee Yong Tau Fu, SS14...
Fish and chips were one of things I’d often eat during my time in the UK – an English staple food available in most restaurants, cafes and pubs. I love mine with plenty of malt vinegar and a dollop of mushy peas at the side. It’s also one of the cheaper meal alternatives for students [] The...
Nasi Kandar is one of the simple pleasures I enjoy on a leisurely weekend and both Jien and I are always on a lookout for good ones in Klang Valley. A friend told us Nasi Kandar Utara in SS15 Subang isn’t too bad so we decided to pay them a visit to see if it’s [] The post Nasi Kandar Utara, SS15...
Chicken Up in Subang Jaya has been making waves on social media, so frequent that Jien and I got curious and thus we paid them a visit. Their marketing initiatives have been aggressive – involving bloggers, influencers and magazines for coverage. And most of them spoke good things about the food,...
If you’re planning to dine at Pho Vietz in Empire Subang, lunch hour on a weekday can be quite chaotic. Jien mentioned the food is worth checking out and since I enjoy eating pho, we popped by to see what Pho Vietz has to offer. Expect a lot of movement to and fro the restaurant [] The post Pho...
My first taste of chapati was at a friend’s Deepavali open house where her mother served me hot chapati with one of the best mutton curries I’ve eaten. We drifted apart over the years but I still remember her mother’s homemade chapati till this day. Funny how I bumped into the said friend at Big...
Subang Jaya is fast becoming one of my favourite places to discover hidden gems as there’s plenty to explore amidst the multitude of cafés. Through a tip-off, Jien and I found ourselves in the middle of Pasar Moden MPSJ in SS15 Subang Jaya (SS15 Wet Market) where tasty noodles and fried rice can be...
As someone who takes food seriously, I tend to approach “Instagram-worthy” places with caution. That’s because not all that looks amazing on an Instagram feed translates the same way on the palate. More often than not, I’m right. Depending on your purpose of dining, you’ll either enjoy Jibby ...
Subang Jaya has quite a bit of good food places which I enjoy discovering. One of them include Xfrens Restaurant in SS18 – a dining option that Jien recommended, after going there several times with his colleagues. It’s best to arrive before peak hours as that way, you don’t have to wait for a table...
Ah Lye Fish Head Curry in Subang Jaya has been around for years but it was only last year than I started going there for my curry fixes. The curry is one of the better ones I’ve eaten – thick, spicy and robust in flavour. Something many Chinese-style curries lack, in my opinion. A medium-sized []...
Chicken rice happens to be one of my least favourite things to eat; I try to avoid this whenever possible except when Im in Ipoh, where steamed chicken reigns supreme. When Jien suggested chicken rice at Kar Heong in SS14 for lunch not too long ago, I wasnt keen. I thought to myself,...
I’ve always had a thing for burgers – whether it’s the local Ramly burger or gourmet ones with Wagyu patty. A good burger usually starts with a solid patty and buns that can withstand the meat and sauces. Most burger joints claim to make their own patties these days and while there are quite a...
Lian Heng Pan Mee is said to be the best in Subang Jaya – there used to be a massive queue at the SS19 stall where you need to take a number and wait patiently for your noodles. Apparently, the owners sold off the business and owner’s son reopened Lian Heng Pan Mee in USJ [] The post Lian Heng...
I have a confession – I’m a fried chicken addict. There’s just something about the crispy skin and flesh that glistens in its own juice and oil that makes me drool in excitement. While Lim Fried Chicken makes the cut for one of the tastiest fried chickens in town, there’s another stall that serves...
