Ming Kee Claypot Chicken Rice - Kepong Baru

Again, another stall that caught my attention because of there were always many patrons there. This one was selling claypot chicken rice. I just had a good one in Brickfields and thought it'd be interesting to make a comparison so I checked this one out.

Claypot chicken rice. The chicken was quite dry. There was salted fish too but it's all pre-mixed in the rice.


Lotus root soup with chicken feet.




Total cost: RM11.50 including soup and a glass of cold kumquat. I think it's quite pricey. The chicken rice wasn't very good at all, and far behind this one in Brickfield, which cost me only RM8 (no soup). Working it backward, that was like I paid RM4.50 for the soup?

Anyway, I doubt I will visit this stall again.

Address:
Jalan Bangau 1 (facing the car park) just outside Regal House Restaurant.

Wong Kee wonton noodle - Kepong Baru

Every time I passed by this stall, I saw many patrons there so one day I decided to try it myself.

Big mistake!

Wonton noodle with mushroom and chicken feet. You can tell how soggy the noodles were from here, can't you? The chicken feet weren't very tender either.


Fu Zhuk Yee Mai


I must say the fact that they made their own noodle was also part of the reasons I stepped into this stall. Big disppointment.




It's really really bad. Easily one of the worst I have ever tasted. The noodles were really soggy and quite tasteless.

Not cheap either. RM7.50 for the plate of noodle and fu  zhuk yee mai.

I strong advise you to avoid this at all cost. If you happen to be there but really need to eat something, I suggest you try this porridge stall just across from this noodle stall. You'll be happy you make the 5 steps across the lane.

Rojak and Cendol, Kepong Baru

I have passed by this place many times and always see a good crowds in the late afternoon. From what I googled, the reviews seem to be quite okay so I decided to give it a try!





The rojak was not too bad, but then again, lacking something to make it really stands out. Just okay, but ordinary.


I didn't ask for sotong like I did last time (elsewhere). I never really like pickled cuttle fish anyway so why pay more for it.


The cendol / ABC stall is manned by someone else.


Unfortunately, the cendol was really not very good at all.

Only RM2.00 though for this small bowl.


Kepong Baru, Jalan Mergastua road side, less than 100 meter from Caritas church.

Hakka Lui Cha Kepong Baru

The name of this restaurant is actually Lui Cha King Restaurant. I actually wanted to try the one in Jinjang Selatan but it was closed today. So I ended up at this one in Kepong Baru. But it was still not open at around 930am! Anyway, I came back in the afternoon and finally got my Lui Cha fix :D

Big bowl of warm and thick lui cha soup, and lots of vegetables!


A bit of history about lui cha / lei cha.


Preserved carrot, lots of vege, long bean, dried shrimp, bean curd, peanut.


I chose brown rice instead of polished rice. RM7.50

Yee Wen Tom Yam Thai Food

I have heard about this place many times but didn't get round to trying it until today. All the staff there are Thai but they do speak Mandarin!

No pork, no beef served in this restaurant.

Seabass steamed in lime and garlic...really tantalizing!!! Might be a little too sour for most people though!


Pandan chicken. Good too but I am rarely into fried food.


Stir fried belacan pucuk paku (fern shoots). Okay, but I really miss the type cooked with santan (coconut milk). Had it once in Ginger@Central Market.


The three dishes above, with one coke, one hot tea, and two plates of rice, came to RM62.90.

The Thai otak-otak looks great too but we didn't order that. We will next time!

Too bad they don't serve any Thai dessert :(
