GO RAE JUNG AGAIN!

After my first visit trip to this restaurant, I came back again to try their BBQ. With four of us, the joy of cooking and eating piping hot meat was so much pleasant.

 As usual, a free bottle of cold water is served

Refillable and unlimited ban chan. We replenished five times cos' it was irresistable.

 whole table full of food

 Chicken Meat and Fresh Octopus

 We mixed white rice with the left over on the hot stone.

Gone in a blink...a total satisfying meal

UNCLE JANG KOEAN RESTAURANT

If you are not familiar with Ampang area, finding this restaurant could be quite tricky. Maybe these landmark or road name can help you to get there. Galaxy Ampang, Police Station, Taman Dagang, Tiara Condominium and Sri Ampang Apartment .

It was raining heavily when  we arrived there before the operating hour i.e. 530pm. Obviously, no diner(s) except the Korean owner and  few male foreign workers.

 I love this traditional Korean dining concept. Dining area on a raised platform with round dining table and cushions on the floor.  

 A two page laminated menu

  

Signature staple 

It is common to see plates of fresh green lettuce, kimchi, banchan/side sides, cut garlic and red sauce serve to every customer in Korean restaurant. But over here, they don't give banchan which is quite upsetting.

Uncle Jang is famous for it's Dak-Galbi, a popular Korean dish made by stir frying marinated diced chicken in a gochujang (chili pepper paste), cut cabbage, onion and rice cakes on a huge hot plate.  The waiter will cook this dish right in front of you and you just need to sit down and watch 'the cook in action'. 

Dak Galbi can be enjoyed on its own or wrapped in lettuce leaves for a fresh and crunchy taste. I like everything in the hot plate from the chicken tenderness, chewiness rice cakes which absorbs the kimchee paste and blend well with the crunchiness of the cabbage.

 

Since the weather is cold, we ordered Chicken Ginseng soup to keep us warm. Unfortunately, this hot piping soup was way below our expectation. We were served a whole drumstick with glutinuos rice inside the soup plus two ginseng roots. It tasted bland without any hint of ginseng.

OKTOBERFEST - I UTAMA

If my friend did not ask me to tag along to this event, I won't even bother at all. Those who love beer and porky meat will enjoy it very much.

A big tent was set up outside the open car park (old wing) at Bandar Utama Shopping Mall. Started at 6pm, we were there on their last day to see and tried out German's beer and food.

Free Giant Mug for every purchased of RM50 beer

3 bottles of Lowenbrau beers filled up the giant mug

every drops of beer incredibly smooth and not bitter at all

 Euro Deli..

goes along well with beers and also wine

Suckling Roasted Pig

Meat Sandwiches

Long Sausages

Most of the porky stuff price ranges from RM5 to RM20. So we had few varieties only. Too much of meat intake is not good for health and also increases cholesterol level.

The above picture (starting from l to r)

roasted pork comes with skin crackling and juicy meat, non oily/greasy yet flavourful meat sandwich, mouth watering sausages infused with aromatic herbs, bread + butter and simple mashed onions.   

Live Dance Performance 
not only cute & colorful attires, but lovely dance and music too.

The tent was not airy even after the sunset,what more the hanging ventilated fans didn't help much. We were sweating from the time we sat down and left immediately after our dinner. Walking away from the tent, we feel much better in a breezy & cosy air.

YUMMY SQUIDS, AWESOME FISH HEAD AND CRABS

Klang is famously known for Bah Kut Teh and also seafood.  After having Bah Kut Teh  for lunch and singing in Karaoke till 730pm, we drove to the nearest seafood restaurant for dinner. Restaurant Foo Chuan was packed with diners but we were at luck to get a table within five minutes.

With a plate of white of rice for each of us, we walloped all the dishes in less than forty five minutes.

Fried Crab with Salted Egg Yolk and Nestum (RM38)
Sweet and meaty crabs but the combination of salted egg yolk nestum didn't complement well. If without the latter (too sweet for my liking), I will certainly finish this whole plate of crustacean though it added more fragrant.

Curry Fish Head (RM38)
Fat chunks of red fish head and greens cooked in a rich and smooth texture gravy infused by the aromatic curry leaves. A bargain not to be missed. AWESOME!



Deep Fried Squid Rings (RM10)
Encased in a light batter, the flavorful squids was fried to golden brown and crisps with perfection. Star of the Nite....YUMMY!

DIM SUM FOR DINNER

Many times, my hiking friends and I wanted to have Hong Kong dim sum brekkie in Restoran Jin Xuan in Puchong . But the long queue have deterred us evident of brisk business and delish food.

One fine evening and without any plan, we simply drove to Puchong and passed by this restaurant. It was a relief feeling to see no queue outside the restaurant.  Immediately, we parked our car and set our heart to the eatery.  This is my first time having dim sum for dinner.

BROGA HILL - AH FATT NASI AYAM & MEE

After a fruitful hike, it was almost 12 noon. On our way down, we passed by Ah Fatt Nasi Ayam and Mee located opposite Broga Police Station.

What captured our attention to have our lunch there was the layout of chicken rice stall i.e roasted chicken & duck, char siew and siew yok on 'hangers'.

The seller cum owner is an eldery man and had been operating this family business for 20 years. He highly recommended me to try Hong Kong noodles or wan tan mee evident by the number of customers who were enjoying this plate of noodles.

A plate of chicken rice....fragrant and soft

(fm left to right)....roasted duck, combination of char siew + siew yok and roasted chicken

the roasted duck was my fave....tender and succulent while the rest tasted averagely

Dried Hong Kong Noodles/Wan Tan Mee

the noodles was springy and simply dressed in light + dark soya sauce with vegetables.

Meat dumplings/wan tan soup

each mini dumplings/wantan was filled with minced meat and tasty too

This decent lunch came to RM18.80 including three glass of drink.
