Thai Food - Tmn Bkt Maluri Kepong

A friend of mine told me about this authentic Thai food stall in Taman Bukit Maluri a few days ago and since I like Thai food very much, I decided to check it out today.

Pad Thai. I am sure it's very authentic as this stall was operated by Thai guys, and this plate was cooked by a Thai lady. It tasted sweet, and no wok hei at all. I added some chili powder, but still couldn't cover up the sweet taste.

Therefore I concluded that Pad Thai is just not for me. I know a local version which is more suited to my taste - Char Kway Teow. And it so happens that there is a really nice one just about a hundred meters or less away.

I actually wanted to order Tup Tim Krob but unfortunately, it's only available during weekend.


Just the Pad Thai and a can of chrysanthemum drink cost me RM9. Very expensive. I might be come back because the tom yam soup (ordered by someone else) looked really nice.

Penang Char Kueh Teow in Kepong

A member of The Makan Club on Facebook posted about authentic Penang "sar hor fun" in Taman Bukit Maluri, Kepong and also mentioned that the char kueh teow there was good. Barely a few days later, I checked out both the char kueh teow and "char tua pan" (Penang style sar hor fun).

Yummy char kway teow. Full of "wok hei" and tasted very good. The "siham" (cockles) were a little overcooked but that's minor. Although it looked a little pale, the taste was very good!



A different visit. I go there quite regularly.


In fact, I think this is my fave so far compared to this, this and this.

The following day, I went back again and tried the Penang style "sar hor fun" (char tua pan). It was really nice too. RM5.50


I have also tried the Wat Dan Hor. RM6.00

Frankly I am not too sure what the difference is between Wat Dan Hor and Tua Pan :P, except this one cost 50 sen more :P. Go figure.

You can see the menu on the back of the banner! Yep, banner, not white board!

Restoran Hong Kong Dim Sum Kepong Baru

Restoran Hong Kong Dim Sum Kepong Baru.

I wasn't aware of the existence of this dim sum place until I went to check out the wet market in Kepong Baru. It always seems to be quite packed in the morning so I decided to give it a try one day.

Hong Kong style Chu Cheong Fun. I was hoping it was freshly made but it wasn't. The chef made some and kept them in the steamer. Acceptable taste, except the fried shallot was a little tough/hard and not fresh.


Century egg congee with lean meat. It was just alright.

Chicken feet, as usual :D. Not very nice.

Total for 3 items: RM10.40.

This restaurant faces the Kepong Baru wet market directly. Just next to Pintar Tuition Center.

Ming Kee wanton mee - Tmn Bkt Maluri

A friend of mine told me about this wanton me place one morning and I actually went to try it the same day - only a few hours later! :D.

Restoran Ming Kee sells only wanton mee. It's located in the shop-houses one street away from Tuck Kee in Taman Bukit Maluri, Kepong.

Wanton mee with BBQ pork (char siu) and sui gao, and wanton. RM 8.30 including hot tea.

The noodle was very springy, almost crispy! The char siu, as you can already tell, wasn't up to par though. I actually asked for chicken feet and it was all sold out :D.

The Sui gao and wanton were quite decent too.

Restoran Murni - Kepong

I have been to Murni in SS2 a few times but never realized that there is a Murni branch in Kepong, not too far from Carrefour (Aeon Big). I think it's quite new!

Anyway, I had teh tarik there with a couple of my facebook friends today:)

Nasi goreng sambal udang petai. RM8. Really worth it IMO.




Medium sized soursop drink. RM5. Not really fond of it. Made from concentrate I am sure.


There were longan, nata de coco and watermelon in it. I think I'll just order some simpler drink next time.






My friend Yvonne ordered nasi goreng meletup. It was nice but not as good as my nasi goreng sambal udang petai :D Also RM8.

Other drinks: Honey Lemon, RM3.00; Teh Tarik Terapung, RM2.00.

Total: RM26

Nasi campur available too:



Edit: 2nd visit:

I ordered the same nasi goreng sambal udang petai. You can see clearly that the portion was much smaller than the first time.

Dragon's Beard Candy - Kepong Baru

This dragon beard candy stall is at Kepong Baru Night Market that happens every Sunday night.

Dragon's beard candy. More about dragon's beard candy here and here. There's even a youtube clip on how to make your own dragon's beard candy.


My choice was black sesame filling.


These didn't taste anything like the crispy, melt-in-the-mouth type I had in Hong Kong before. These would turn into one sticky, chewy lump when you bit into it!

I ate a couple of them on the spot. Sticky and chewy, stuck to my teeth. I left the remaining few in the fridge and the pieces all stuck together :(

Pricing:
Peanut filling - RM5 for 8 pieces
Black sesame - RM6 for 8 pieces

Nasi Campur - Tesco Kepong Village

This nasi campur stall is in the food court of Tesco Kepong Village mall, Menjalara.

Ayam rendang (chicken rendang), kerang (cockles) and spinach. RM9 not including any drink!!! The kerang were very chewy! Overcooked, I guess. All the dishes were laden with MSG.


Price on the high side compared to a few similar eateries outside, but this one is in an nice, clean, and air conditioned environment!

Similar dishes outside will cost only around RM6 the most I think.

For me, I only ate here because it was convenient and also i was too lazy to make a detour on the way home.

Nasi Campur - No Name, Kepong

This nasi campur restaurant is behind Crystal Crown Hotel in Kepong. Also right next to this salmon fish head noodle restaurant.

Grilled ikan keli (catfish), pajeri nenas, and some unknown vege(?)

RM7.60 i think. Can't remember. The only thing I remembered was that it was definitely more expensive than this other place I just visited a couple of weeks ago.

Fewer varieties too compared to Gerai Makan Mak Long in Tmn Bkt Maluri.

Chu Chap Chuk - Kepong Baru

I saw this humble looking road side stall when I went to check out the night market in Kepong Baru, and decided to check it out.

RM4.20 for a small bowl. Lots of goodies/ingredients added. Even more submerged!


I will definitely visit this stall again whenever I feel like having some nice smooth porridge! I think I like this better than the famous Hon Kee in Petaling Street.




Besides chu chap chuk, you can get pork with century egg porridge, chicken porridge, fish porridge etc as well.


Starts selling at around 5 pm till around 11 pm or sold out.
Closed on Thursday.
