Pork Ball Noodle - Sungai Buloh

I passed by Sungai Buloh at around lunch time and thought I might as well stopped by there to have a quick lunch. I parked at the open car park just next to the wet market. I saw a really busy chicken rice outlet but since I just had chicken hor fun yesterday, I decided not to try it this time and looked for something else, and finally settled for this pork ball noodle I first saw before I parked my car.

Only one slice of soft sausage.


Good but nothing to shout about.




3 + 1? I have no idea what that + 1 was but I ate it anyway:D




Manned by a couple of Indonesian maids.


This place is facing the open car park, a few doors away from Jeff Lee Restaurant.


Only RM4.30 for the bowl of noodle and a glass of hot Chinese tea.

Ipoh Hor Fun - TTDI

I have tried the real Ipoh Hor Fun in Ipoh itself and loved it. However, I only know of two Ipoh Hor Fun places in KL. Chong Thoong Kee in TTDI is one of them. The other one is TK Chong in Damansara Perdana.

The hor fun was quite smooth with lovely prawn oil flavour which I have gotten used to and like. I actually found it a bit weird at first:D.


The chicken was just okay for me. Not exactly tender and smooth.


Prawn wonton. Tasted quite good, nice and crunchy with hint of sesame oil aroma.




Bean sprout. Not as good as Ipoh's but still nice and crunchy.


Only 12.05 pm but the place was already quite packed.


Menu with prices (Oct 10, 2012)


The bill came to RM9.50. But if I were to follow the prices on the menu, it should have been 7.80 (hor fun with wonton) + 1.00 (bean sprout) + 0.50 (hot tea) = RM9.30. Hmmmm....

Fish head noodles @ Jalan Tiong Nam

I am a big fan of fish head noodles and almost anything with fish in it (:D) but good ones are hard to come by. I have heard about this place in Jalan Tiong Nam a lot and I finally made a trip there on the way to town.

Served in claypot which keeps the food warm till the end


It has tofu, tomatoes, preserved vegetables (ham choy), yam, cabbage, tofu skins, Lala clams, fish balls, rice wine, fried fish slices and thick vermicelli in it.


They normally serves this dish with evaporated milk and fried fish but I asked for no milk and unfried fish. However, they only got part of my order right as you can see the fish slices were fried. I really disliked it because the fish slices were coated with really thick batter which became really chewy after frying. They also became soggy after being cooked in the soup.

But I like the ingredients a lot and I think I will make another trip here if the future, only this time I will really really make sure they serve mine with no milk and unfried fish slices!

This big claypot of fish head noodles and a glass of herbal drink cost me only RM7.00.





It's not far from Hotel Wira.

Lui Cha - PJ Old Town

A few friends told me that the Hakka Lui Cha in in this coffee shop is very good. Since acquiring a taste for lui cha not too long ago, I have tried like five different places. This one was my sixth one.



When the bowl of soup and another bowl of dry ingredients with brown rice arrived at my table, I looked at the rather watery and thin soup and thought to myself - this is not going to be very good.


Luckily, the dry ingredients in the other bowl could hold their own, thanks mainly to the sauteed, caramelized onions, which added a nice flavour to this dish. But still, I wished the soup were not as watered down. The maid probably added too much hot water to my bowl of soup?



RM5.50 for lui cha with plain steamed rice. RM6.00 with brown rice.

Lui Cha - Big Big Bowl, Kepong

This Hakka restaurant is located in Kepong not too far from Jusco. It's on the other side of the main road, behind Standard & Chartered bank.

Lui Cha

Too bad they didn't have brown rice on week days. I was told that brown rice is available on during weekends. The dry ingredients looked a little stale but luckily, they tasted okay.

The soup was thick and warm! Nice!

Somehow the soup reminds me of the one in Jinjang Selatan as they look and taste so similar. However, the one in Jinjang has thicker soup.

A bowl of lui cha with plain rice and a cup of black coffee cost RM9.20.

This shop offers lui chai noodles and pan mee as well. I will come back to try these.
