Pepper Bak Kut Teh@SekMeChoy restaurant

First, a little bit of background info on SekMeChoy, from its Facebook page:

SekMeChoy’s Bak Kut Teh has had a history of more than 20 years, it is one of the first shops in the whole of Malaysia to start making Pepper Bak Kut Teh. In 2006, it was chosen as one of the “Top 20 National Kings of Bak Kut Teh”.


SekMeChoy's signature dish - Pepper bak kut teh. RM11 per pax. I ordered mine with everything - ribs, innards, tau pok (bean curd puff), pig tripe - in it!

It was really different from any other herbal bak kut teh I have tried. Distinctively peppery and flavorful.




Vegetable Rice, RM2.00. A little pricey but really good! You can just eat this on its own! In fact, I think it would be better that way to fully enjoy this flavorful bowl of rice with lots of goodies in it - mustard greens, fragrant deep fried shallot, dried shrimps, pork.




Besides bak kut teh, SekMeChoy also serves a few other dishes like vinegar pork, braised ginger duck, tilapia in special sauce, stewed pork with mui choy (sweet preserved vegetable).

I was there on a week day at around 1 pm. Wasn't very busy. My order arrived within ten minutes or less.

Ah Hwa Nasi Lemak-Sri Sinar Food Court

Ah Hua special nasi lemak at Sri Sinar Food Court. More info about this food court can be found here.

RM4.50 for this plate with curry pork, bitter gourd, and some sambal.


The curry was quite okay. Overall it was quite nice but nothing really special. I still prefer my Monday night market nasi lemak.

Curry Noodle @ Jalan Alor

A friend of mine told me that this curry noodle stall in Jalan Alor is good and even appeared in our local tv program "Ho Jiak". The name of this stall is actually "Alor Corner Curry Noodle".

We are there at around 4:30pm on a Tuesday and there was no other patron yet at that time.

It looked very nice and appetizing! Tasted very good too.

The gravy was thick and full of santan (lemak). A little on the sweet side but still okay. I liked the texture and flavor of the poached chicken, and also the half cooked cockles (siham).



The chili paste was really different, so should I call it chili sauce. It wasn't really spicy but very fragrant and did add additional kick to the bowl of noodle.


Each bowl is RM6.00


This stall is at the beginning of Jalan Alor, just opposite Loong Kee.


Four types of noodles to choose from. From the left: hor fun (flat noodle), yellow noodle, bihun and lai fun.


Nice, thick curry gravy!



Location: the beginning of Jalan Alor, opposite Loong Kee restaurant.

Hours: 2 pm to 9 pm. Closed on Thursday.

Do check out this other curry laksa place in Sri Gombak too if you love curry noodle.

Bitter gourd noodle

The weather was hot and I was cracking my brain trying to think of something light and simple for lunch when I recalled a recent food posting - bitter gourd noodle -  by a Facebook friend of mine. Simple, light and healthy! Perfect! So off I went to Chu Yu restaurant.


Fried bitter gourd with egg, and noodle in clear soup. I opted for hor fun (flat noodle). The hor fun was quite thick and not smooth at all, but everything else was nice. I liked the fragrance of the fried egg and how it infused the soup with a light, smoky flavor. The bitter gourd wasn't bitter too. Not that I would mind if it were bitter. I quite liked the fish ball and fish paste too.
 

You can choose other types of noodles too - glass noodle, beehoon, yellow noodle, hor fun.

The soup tasted naturally sweet. My friend said the stall owner told her that no MSG was used for the soup.


The proprietor. I think he also sells at the Sri Sinar Monday night pasar malam.

The BBQ chicken wings in this restaurant is great too. Only available in the evening/night. More info here. The mixed rice stall in this restaurant is really popular too. People start queuing up at this stall as early as before 11am!

Vinegar Pig Trotter - Sri Sinar Food Court

As mentioned in my previous post, Sri Sinar food court has been in operation since Dec 30, 2012. I made my first visit there on Jan 1, 2013 and again, on Jan 3, 2013.

This time I decided to go for Tu Kha Chor (Vinegar pig trotter), and after ordering this, I saw tu thor t'ng (pig stomach soup). I couldn't resist so I ordered that as well!

Vinegar pig trotter, RM7.00

It was quite nice but I wished they had put more ginger in it, and perhaps more vinegar too. Not sour and not gingery enough for my liking.





Peppery Pig stomach soup. RM6.00

It was quite good. I really like how peppery the soup was, but I think they put too much kiam chye /ham choy (salted vegetable) in it and as a result the taste became too complicated.
