Kheng Hiong Yuan, Summit, Subang Jaya.

Ok, a short entry. I had lunch at this little cozy cafe called Kheng Hiong Yuan at Ground Floor, Summit, Subang Jaya. This cafe is quite near to Subway.

I was attracted by their set lunch of Herbal Chicken Soup + rice and with out MSG at only MYR 5.90.
I like they garnish it with parsley, goes perfect with the soup. The taste is heavy with herbs and very fragrant. Taste a little like bak kut teh. .The soup comes with a drumstick and I felt thirsty after that. Well, can't ask too much for MYR 5.90, right. And I don't think you need GPS coordinate for the location.

Ocen Seafood Restaurant at Tanjung Sepat, Selangor

Ok, this is an old entry of my quest for good and cheap food.


A few of us took the pain to drive 2 hours (including some mishap) to this place, Ocen Seafood Restaurant at Tanjung Sepat, Selangor.
Seafood next to the sea

This fried squid is crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. Slightly above par.

Prawn cooked with rice wine, not very inducing, probably not my cup of tea. But I like prawns of this size. Not to big nor small, sweet and mild taste of wine.

This is Taufoo Kang. It is like shark fin soup minus the fin. The texture is like diluted gravy, very nice. The ingredients mainly are bean curb, eggs, flour (for the gravy-like texture), meat, etc. Why still eat shark fin soup?

The oyster (ochien). The main reason we endured such torturous journey, wakakakaka. Nice? Let's just say, even if we order a few plates more, I guarantee there will be no leftover.

Lemon chicken. Luckily the taste is not as lemon as the name. Nothing special.

The crabs. Seriously, I am not a very big fan of crabs coz eating it is a very complicated process, unless someone is willing to peel for me. But this crab is nice coz the shell is soft (ain't softshell crabs). Easier to enjoy it.

Nam yee pai kuat. Nice but I had nicer 1 before. A little boney.

The fish, honestly, it tasted better than it looked.

For the contact, I was too hungry to ask for a name card and most of us don't know how to go there. If not for our Tanjung Sepat's resident, we won't be enjoying this feast. If you know the address, please let me know at jasoncwtan@gmail.com. Each person costs less than MYR 40 and around 12 of us and the whole journey took about 5 hours but I am more than happy to do it again.

Hong Kong Food at Restaurant Causeway Bay.

I have been to this restaurant a few times but this is my first time I blog about it. I went again last weekend and had some funny experience.

I ordered the XO sauce seafood fried rice plus egg. Decent amout of ingredient of prawns, crab sticks, eggs, etc for MYR19++. Egg was MYR2, and I had to reorder 2 times. Taste-wise was a bit spicy but kinda salty. Did not have the "inducement" smell. Probably some garlice can help.


We had Lemonade and Ice Tea. The Lemonade was really nice. Just the right sourness, MYR5.00 and teas was MYR4.00. The bill was MYR33++.
I was in Hong Kong for quite sometime a few years ago and this restaurant is like those "Cha Chan Teng" aka kopitiam in Malaysia. These foods are road food by HK standard but sell at a premium in Malaysia.
Now for the funny experience. When I asked for a business card (which I normally do for the contact), the waiter asked me why do I need it? I asked "Why do you have business card in the first place?"

The contact(please appreciate it, I got it very hard),

Meat Pau at Hai Yew Heng, Tanjung Sepat.

While on our way to Tanjung Sepat, we detoured to this famous Pau shop in Tanjung Sepat for some quickie before the main course (which will be blog later).

feel like a virgin
I tell you, the Pau is so nice that we have to fight for it. (coz only left 5 to be shared among 12 starving adults). The Pau is fragant and soft. Skin is thin and just the right size, no dripping around. The pork is minced and a little spicy. Just mouth watering.
how can you resist something like this?

The shop is located at some shop lot in a village. Kinda hard to find. Why all the nice food are so difficult to reach?

lots and lots of dough
the kitchen

Price is RM2/piece. You can have it hot for dine (eat by the roadside) or frozen for take away.
