Har Mee Jalan Pudu

A quick one for the day. Looking for Har Mee around KL. Try this at Jalan Pudu very near the Pudu Pos Office & Bomba. I notice this store during my daily commute to my work and often visited by a lot of customer.


See the happy face of the store onwer (must be raking in good profits). Other than Har Mee, he also sell Pork Noodle (I think so).

This is my bowl of very tasty Prawn Noodle.

Ipoh Curry Mee

Curry mee, a simple dish, but in difference places, the style and the way it is being serve varies for example in Ipoh, KL, Penang, or even JB.

In KL, it is serve with vegetables, cockles, BBQ meat ('Char Siew') and always in soup. You can also have it dry with bit of curry soup added. However, there is this place in OUG and Pudu that served very thick curry mee that is quite similar to what is serve at my hometown. If I am not mistaken, the Pudu one is call May Keng (is the name spell correctly?) which is also famous for their Lam Mee. They have a branch here in Seri Kembangan, one of shoplots near South City Plaza, nicely decorated with air-cond. What is the other one in OUG??mmmm...can't seem to remember is name. I have go there check it out again. In Petaling Street itself, this store in market called Mardas Lane serve them with vegetables. I always goes there for lunch, not the curry mee but yong tau foo and chee cheong fun.

Anyway, let steer back what I promise Tummy Thoz after an prelude conversation some many many months back. This is all about Ipoh Curry Mee and yes particular the dry type...my favourite. First one, 'Chuan Fatt' is located along Jln Pasir Puteh, just after the Caltex Station and before the traffic lights.


Ingredients: Roast Pork & Deep Fried Flavour Pork serve with think curry paste. Very spicy (spicy scale of 1-10) is 8.75, not so heavy on coconut milk.


or serve with chicken curry,

and add some side dish of fried chicken wings.

Next up, located opposite of MGS (Methodist Girls School), at the tip of the aroundabout, 'Kedai Kopi Yee Fatt.' Some of my girl-friends (use to attend school at MGS) told me that this shop has been operating since during their school days (about 20 years ago OMG! I am that xxx...).

Inside the shop you will notice a big signage that boast about their best curry mee which I absolutely agreed.

More or less same ingredients and with prawns but a bit pricey. Spicy level 7.

I also request for a bowl of curry soup, very nice, do you want to have a sip?

Third on the list, is the famous 'Seng Kee' shop near the Police Station (somewhere near Loh Wong Tauge Chicken 'nga choy kai'), where everybody talks about it and some will even drive up from KL for it. Located inside Xin Quan Fang restaurant, along Jalan Sultan Iskandar (Hugh Low Street).

After looking at what other people had on their tables and the menu, I decide to go for the 'Specialist'. So what is 'Specialist' ? It means things come in three - separate sauce with curry oil mix with chopped garlic and chili sauce,

a bowl of mixture of meat (BBQ Pork 'char siew', Roast Pork 'siew yuk' and Prawns 'har'),
and the mee.

Tada!, the 'Specialist' curry mee (if that is what the sign means??) You can also check KampungBoyCityGal views on this place.

The fourth place is Kedai Kopi Keng Nam located at the end of Jalan Raja Ekram (Cowan Street). The shop also serve nice chee cheong fun Ipoh style, only with green chilli, chilli sauce and mushroom gravy.

This fourth place, the serving is bit small and so do the pricing. It is serve with char siew and chicken slice. Spicy level - 6.

Next on the list is Ma Jie Curry Mee, operating in Kedai Kopi Nam Kew along Jalan Raja Musa Aziz (Anderson Road). This is my regular place since young and you can said that grown up with this. The onwer of the place is husband and wife team which is running this place for ages. The last time I visited, I notice the young chap managing the store. My parents informed they have found a someone keen to learn and operate its business. So you can expect them to continue serving this delicious curry mee for more years to come.

Its curry mee are serve with rich coconut milk. Spicy level - 6

Final place is well documented in TV show, Kedai Kopi Nam Chau opposite the famous Kwong Heng, in Jalan Bandar Timah. You can check out views by Bangsar Babe, Sunny and Sidney (my favourite bakers - Big Boys Oven, Have Food Will Travel). So not much to comment from me.
Of all these places, I prefer Ma Jie, maybe it is the taste has stick on to me all these years. The list might not be complete, as I yet venture to Ipoh Garden, Kg Simee, Bercham or even Menglembu. So please let me know and I will put them in my to do list.

Where are all this places, check the following google map (love this app.):

Restoran 52

This place is located somewhere in Semenyih town. It has been review by The Star before and been the talking subjects among my friends for quite sometimes. For FOOD, I pester them like mad to take me there, and here we are. Its look like some of the restaurants around my place, small kampung, own home, part become as a restuarant and part a home. How you wish to work from home? However, this is a full-time job! Morning preparation, lunch time business, afternoon preparation, dinner time business and night time, money counting...

My friends have been to this place a few times, they knows what is good. I decided to layback and let them please me :). In the meantime, I was looking at their menu, it surprise me how organized their menu are. They properly separate each of the items accordingly to type of meat, fish, beancurd, vegetables and so on.

They even have a special page that list customers favourites or specialty foods.

Here comes the Specialty Item 1: Lighty Deep Fried Tilapia



Specialty Item 2: Salt Baked Chicken Wings:


Next Item (not favourites but I like this much so, very tender and juicy): Stewed Hakka Fried Pork Belly

Of course must have a vegetable, fried kailan with gralic:

Overall the food was delicious, must warn you a few things, always finish you chicken wing before its get cold else it will be to salty and waiting time is about 30min to a hour for the dishes to arrives even with 3 chefs, can't figure out why. In weekends the place is pack, so expect to wait longer. My LAF rating = 6.8/10.

SK Food Haven? Part 2 - Restoran Hy Thian

Firstly I like to apologies to everybody who visit my site and found nothing new. I will try my best and discipline myself to update as much as often. Let me continue with my SK post.

After reading Eat First Think Later post on this place in SK, remind me to contiune my update on this mysterious place call Seri Kembangan. This place Yap Yin & BKT has been around since my university days in UPM and been always famous for its BKT and pork knuckle. For the last two years it has become one of the spot to be. Located centrally in town, it is one of most diffculty place to find carparks.

This next restaurant I am going to introduce to you all food lovers is also one of my favourite place during my uni’s days. It starts as small rented stall in a food court to one 3-storey shophouses and then 5 shophouses. With this type of business growth, you can expect nothing less than prefect for the dishes they served. So, I decided to go since my last visit was five years ago and it was a weeding dinner.

Two Variety Prawns

These are some of the delicious dishes we have, Two Variety Prawns, one cooked with butter and the others is salad. The best part of it, we requested to be de-shelled, no more mess.

The another recommend by them is Fried pork with special sauce (Sheng Chao Hua Nan) taste a bit of sweet and hot and juicy.

Fried Pork with Special Sauce

We also have this special vegetable call Dragon Vegetable fried with garlic (Qing Chao Qing Long Cao). Just look at tiny strip of the vegetable.

Dragon Vegetable fried with Garlic

This the fried bean curd cubes with pork in Sxichuan sauce (Shi Chuan dou Fu Li).

We finish off with the dessert of the season, fried durian, crispy outside and soft and cold durian paste inside.

After years have not been there and since it moves to this new place, the food is delicious as ever. Their business rest days are on Monday and Tuesday, with these business their can afford two rest days. My LAF rating 7.9/10, because of the big prawns (Without shell! Oh Yeah!) and fried pork. How much does all of these cost? Here it is.....

So, where is the place, here the map to the resturant ....

There are also others restaurant around SK such as Soon Lee Restaurant (famous for its grill fish, aluminium foil chicken wine, etc.), Restoran Chen Fatt, Starlight Restaurant (salt baked fish, salt egg crab, etc.), Yong To Fu & fried wrapped chicken, Yap Yin & BKT Restaurant and so on. I will tried post all these restaurant the next I visit them.

GULLIN Seafood

This restaurant is somewhere in PJ which I personally don't know where. My uncle was leading the way to the restaurant. Apparently is located at Taman Megah and opposite old LimKokWeng University College. It is a corner shop and quite crowded with people.

We waited for a while before we got our seat and of course my Uncle going decided on what we having tonight since he has been there before.

This is the most order dish as I look around others table, everyone has one on their tables and also recommended by my uncle, Hotplate Curry Seafood which can be cook with only prawns, white squid, fish or mixture of them.

Hotplate Curry Seafood

We also have Fu Rong Dan (Scrambled Egg), Dong Bo Rou (Stewed Pork With Five Spices), Minced Pork Fired Beancurd and Garlic Fired Kalian.

Quite a good mixture of food we order and very rich in flavour for the Hotplate Curry Seafood which and the gravey mix well with the scarmble egg. All the above cost around RM 70 together with drinks if I remember correctly. My LAF rating 5.6/10.
