K K WONG SEAFOOD RESTAURANT

It was one of the Friday night, we had our dinner here. Except this restaurant, other eateries was packed and finding a parking spot is really tough. After 45 minutes, we found a parking space which is quite far away from K K Wong Seafood Restaurant. When we arrives at the door entrance, we noticed there are few parking lots reserved for restaurant customers. 

 

Like I mentioned earlier, this restaurant was totally empty and we were their only customers. Feeling a bit skeptical, we did not order much food. Just a plate of seafood noodles and two dishes in case we don't like the taste.

Wa Tan Hor/Cantonese Seafood Flat Noodle (RM12)

Supposedly for 1 person consumption but this big serving is enough for two. Drenched with flavorful egg gravy,  sweetness from the  seafood, crunchy greens,  (kinda of eating 'sharkfins soup' if you add few tablespoon of black vinegar)  over wok hei fried noodles  at the bottom.

Fried Yam Basket (RM18)

Well executed.  Mashed yam formed into a baskett shape and perfectly deep fried till golden brown yet retaining yam smooth texture. Tucked with tasty cut chicken meat, fried cashew nuts, green capsicum, slices of carrots, onion and mushroom.

Fried Eel with Black Pepper (RM12)

We expected this dish to be spicy judging from the amount of dried red chillies on the plate, but it tasted mild only. Overall, overpowered by aromatic black pepper.

REVISIT- A WET THAI CAFE

Last night, I was craving for Thai seafood dinner and suggest to my sister and she smile back with sign of approval!

The road was clear with lesser traffic and within 20 minutes, we arrived A Wet Thai Cafe.  After parking my four wheels, we walk toward the restaurant and surprise to see many tables already been taken up.

As usual our order taken, followed by 3 glasses of cold pandan leaf drink, plates with fork and spoon placed on our table.

White rice to go with dishes

Thai Kerabu Seafood (RM15)
 sourish + spicy gravy filled with fresh boiled prawns and cut squids.

Fried Pandan Chicken (RM13)
chicken meat was tender enough but not fragrant and tasty enough.

Thai Seafood Tom Yam (RM8)

A WET THAI CAFE

Early last month, my friend treated me to a dinner here. And the reason I am back again is to savour their ever popular Thai Tom Yam which I didn't do so previously.  Unlike weekend, it is so easy to get your seat during weekday. Also ample of parking space right in front of this restaurant.  Our food was served within 30 minutes...very prompted.

two glasses of cold pandan water & a bowl of boiled peanut
the drinks....infused with pandan leave smells yet so refreshing
peanut....very soft

Tab Tim Krob
so colorful and caught my immediate attention.
Thick & fresh coconut concoction filled with eye catching crunchy water chesnuts and strips of jack fruits...certainly enticing! 

Seafood Tom Yum...unforgettable
 My mom was blown over with this bowl of hot,spicy and sourish soup. And I have to agree with her tastebud.  What makes this soup irresistable are the fresh ingredients and chilies paste combined with fresh seafood. 

Fried Pineapple Rice
the sweetness came from small pineapple cubes fried together with fluffy rice and nicely laced with cut sausages and pork floss on the top

Thai BBQ Squid

juicy & chewy on its own or with the tasty side sauce

Bill breakdown (in RM)

Pandan Water = 0.70 x 2

Boiled Peanut = 2.00

Dessert = 5.90

Tom Yum = 8.00

Fried Rice = 9.00

Squid = 18.00

STEAM BOAT @ RESTAURANT CHOONG HUAT - YULEK, CHERAS

The last time I had steamboat was during Chinese New Year reunion dinner with my family. My mom was the one who prepared the tasty herbal soup, aromatic chilies sauces, fried garlic oil and ensure sufficient fresh prawns, squids, sea cucumber, sea asparagus, assorted fish balls and greens are enough for our hungry tummies. And we truly enjoyed home cooked steamboat...Penang style.

Last weekend, a friend invited me and two others for a steamboat dinner. We arrived Restaurant Choong Huat at about 7pm and few families were seen started their indulgence in an open air concept.

Shortly after seated, we were given a two page menu and made a quick order i.e.steamboat for two pax (there were four of us), a plate of grilled stringray and 4 BBQ chicken wings.



Two types of chillies sauce for dipping + fried onion oil
Being a Penangite (and always), I love using/adding lots of fried garlic oil in my cooking especially soup to enhance taste and flavour. As expected, this restaurant (and others too) don't have what I asked for and I was a little disappointed!






 

portion for 2 pax  @ RM15.80 pp

herbal + tom yam soup

When this pot of hot bubbling soup was place on our table, I didn't except the herbal soup in brown colour. My friend jokingly said that it might be bah kut teh soup. Upon sipping, we can't smell/taste the presence of any herbs at all...adding fried onion sauce did not even lift up the soup taste!  As for the tom yam broth, nothing to shout about.

BBQ Chicken Wings (RM2 each)

not charred  enough but still good



Grilled Stringray (RM19)
although it look quite dried on the surface but overall it was decent...fleshy meat and slightly burnt crackling skin. just eat this  without dipping the bland red chillies sauce.

Overall, I don't really enjoy the food heree BUT I must admit my friends and our hilarious jokes made up the wonderful night.

SHAMELIN BBQ RESTAURANT, CHERAS

This is another birthday dinner for a friend whose birthday falled in early December. We have chosen to celebrate in Shamelin BBQ Restaurant because the food was good and affordable after our first visit there early this year. Don't be fooled with the name of this restaurant cos' they don't serve Barbeque (BBQ) but only chu char or fried dishes, rice and noodles.

Below are the sumptuous and delectable spread for the twelve of us.

CLAYPOT TAUFU (RM30)

this bubbling hot claypot came with generous amount of cut fish maws, soft fried taufu/beancurd, assorted mushrooms and fresh green peas. the flavorful gravy had just the right consistency i.e not too much constarch.

STIR FRIED MIXED VEGETABLES (RM20)

for a simple dish like this, it is quite pricey. however, the greens which still maintained its crunchiness after being 'processed' won our heart.


SALTED & CHILLIES SQUID (RM40)
this was quickly snapped up... each slices of squid texture was tender and aromatic after being fried with acceptable amount of salt and red chillies.


SALTED EGG PRAWNS (RM60)
prawns was well coated and fragrantly fried with curry leaves but it was too salty for our liking.

MONGOLIAN CHICKEN (RM24)
slices of chicken was deep fried till crisps and succulent and blend well with curry gravy which was not too creamy .


STEAMED GOBY FISH WITH SOYA & GINGER SAUCE (RM32)

this whole fish still retain its refreshness after being steamed in light soya sauce and pounded ginger.
