Klang Valley: Delicious Mali’s Corner Koay Teow Basar & Nasi Lemak

Klang Valley: Delicious Mali’s Corner Koay Teow Basar & Nasi Lemak – When we talk abou Char Koay Teow, we know it’s the fried flat noodle with Chinese-style soy sauce fried with cockles, eggs and beansprout, that’s the Chinese-style. How about the Malay-style? It’s almost the same, but it’s wet! Yeah, wet as in watery filled with gravy and they are delicious, believe me.

See the queue!

I’ve heard that Char Koay Teow Wet or Koay Teow Basah (Basah means wet in Malay) originate from Bukit Mertajam, Penang. I’ve tried a nice one in BM, but in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur, it seems to be a better one in my opinion!

Queue for Nasi Lemak!

Nasi Lemak Ayam Panas, looks interesting.

Cheap also. RM4 for small, RM5 for big and Special is with extra shrimp and that’s RM6.50.

Mali’s Corner is the name of the stall located near to TARC (Tunku Abdul Rahman College) which starts business at night, there’s another one outlet with a proper shoplot setup at Platinum Walk on Jalan Genting Klang too. Surprised to see that there’s a long queue for the Char Koay Teow Basah as well as the Nasi Lemak. The queue was not really long, less than 10 minutes can get my hands on a hot plate of Char Koay Teow. However, if you want to order Nasi Lemak, you have to queue again, so I’ve my friend Wei Lee queued for the Nasi Lemak and I queued for the Char Koay Teow.

They both tasted very well to me and I like both of it! The gravy for the Koay Teow Basah is thick, and very good aroma and it has big cockles! As for the Nasi Lemak, the rice has a nice strong fragrance and the deep fried chicken is crunchy to my loving.

Got to thanks Wei Lee for introducing me this place. =) By the way, I prefer this place @ Taman Bunga Raya then Platinum Walk because this is more authentic.

Petaling Jaya: Otak-Otak & Nasi Lemak At Mapley 223

Petaling Jaya: Otak-Otak & Nasi Lemak At Mapley 223 – This is a super halal post because Mapley 223 is a halal food court. Oh yeah! This place was introduced by my friend – Hock Sheng from Universiti Malaya and he told me that there’s cheap Malay-style otak-otak and also nasi lemak, so here we go!

Mapley 223 Food Court, 223 is because it’s near to Jalan 223.

Me and Hock Sheng, the friend who introduced me. The friend who sat beside me in class in high school.

Once entering the food court, don’t be shock by the stalls worker touting you asking you to eat their food. Just simply wave your hand, say no and wander to an empty table. Sit down, again, don’t be shock by the stalls worker walking towards you to ask you order their food, nasi lemak, maggi goreng, nasi goreng and more, and also the teh tarik and stuff. Don’t bother them if you know what to eat, or even don’t so that you can take some times looking around what to eat.

Yellow and green, pick the green one.

Hot and fresh otak-otak.

Bloody red otak-otak, looks weird, but taste OK.

We sat down and then my friend say don’t bother them. Wait for a guy drop a green basket of otak-otak, only start eating it. Just don’t bother about others. They will know how to calculate how much you have it cause they knew how many they put in initially. A very different style of otak-otak, with very sweet taste, a little bit of spices, and somehow less fish meat than those Nyonya’s style. It’s a good snack at RM0.60/otak-otak.

This is the nasi lemak stall that we went for.

And it’s RM2.50 for this plate. The rice is nice.

He also told me that nasi lemak there is also good and cheap. So yeah, the fragrance of the lemak rice is indeed good, and too the spicy hot sambal just compliment the rice well. It’s just RM2.50 for this plate of nasi lemak, you can add more side dish too!

Well, I have found a new place for snacks/supper! It’s Mapley 223.

Good Pork Noodle 猪肉粉 At SS3 Restoran Kean Fatt

Good Pork Noodle 猪肉粉 At SS3 Restoran Kean Fatt – My friend CC introduced me to this pork noodle stall located at SS3 Taman Bahagia and I went to try it out this afternoon! Located just at the back of the Taman Bahagia LRT Station, it’s not hard to locate this little kopitiam of Restoran Kean Fatt.

It seems promising when arrived as there’s quite many people waiting for it. “Oh, it’s gonna be a long wait like the 45 minutes pork noodle at SS15”, I thought. Made my order, as usual with my favourite koay teow noodle (local call it hor fun) and I sat down, chat with Hock Sheng who was the company of the day and wait.

10 minutes passed, 15 minutes then, it’s arrived! It looks good with plenty of pork lards (very unhealthy) and a bowl-ful of ingredient. Saliva drops for just looking at it. RM5.80. Soup is rather salty, but it’s still good! Awesome pork made me un-describable. I finished the soup by the way.

Well, it’s better to wait at here than the 45 minutes at SS15. Haha.

Best Penang Asam Laksa In Klang Valley @ Asia Cafe, SS15

Best Penang Asam Laksa In Klang Valley @ Asia Cafe, SS15 – Ladies and gentleman, I have found the best Penang Asam Laksa in Klang Valley and it’s located at the famous Asia Cafe at SS15, Subang Jaya!

I am always in search of good Penang-food in Klang Valley, when I craved from Asam Laksa, I usually will go to the Kedah Asam Laksa at Taman Bahagia open-air food court there. Now, this new one at Asia Cafe will probably replace my visit to Taman Bahagia.

Why it’s so good? Because it’s run by the daughter of the famous Air Itam Asam Laksa in Penang! So it’s very authentic. Price is of course higher than Penang, at RM5.00 per bowl. They sell Curry Mee also, but I am more interested in Asam Laksa and the original stall in Penang does not sell Curry Mee.

Taste wise is very good. I finish the soup, but then one imperfection is there’s very little fish in the soup. Too bad.

I won’t abandon Taman Bahagia’s Kedah Asam Laksa, I will visit both as they have different taste. =)

They Say It’s The Best Char Koay Teow @ Restoran Seng Lee

They Say It’s The Best Char Koay Teow @ Restoran Seng Lee – I am so sorry, I am from Penang and I don’t taste that it’s the best Char Koay Teow in Klang Valley yet. Many people told me about this good Char Koay Teow at Restoran Seng Lee, Damansara Heights, I went to try it and I feel the taste has a very strong taste of pepper and garlic. Where’s the lard and soy sauce? Maybe it’s their very own style. It’s still very far from Penang’s typical Char Koay Teow.

It does not taste bad, it’s OK, but then the koay teow (local call it hor fun) is small and it’s not my favourite. They use different koay teow for this. Well, I am still in search for good Char Koay Teow in Klang Valley, please hit me at the comment area! =)

By the way, it’s RM5/plate! And it’s just not my type.

Breakfast Wan Tan Mee At Taman OUG

Breakfast Wan Tan Mee At Taman OUG – Was craving for Wan Tan Mee (noodle) this morning and went to the one located at PJS7 Low Cost Flat area but it was not open. Then the place ‘Taman OUG’ came up on my mind as it was somewhere in between the way to the city centre then off I went to that place.

I recalled once I had Wan Tan Mee at there but have forgotten about which stall and coffee shop it was. Randomly, I went to the coffee shop (Restorant Swee Hing) that has the most people. Parking was a big problem at that area, but I still managed to find one. Wan Tan Mee stall located at the front was the first thing that greeted me so I quickly ordered one to easy my morning hungryness.

RM4.50 for the above plate of Wan Tan Noodle, with plentiful of char siew, 3 wan tan in soup, a little kai lan and the springy noodle. Oily as it seems, but the noodle was springy enough and the soy sauce was just nice to my taste. Too bad there’s too less kailan vegetable. Char siu was so-so to me although sweet. As for the wantan, it’s not bad afterall. It’s just another kind of wan tan mee if were to compare to Penang’s. Penang’s has lard in it!

Please introduce some nice Wan Tan Mee place in Klang Valley, Kuala Lumpur, PJ. =)

By the way, kopi-peng costs RM1.90! This is KL, duh…

Bukit Mertajam Duck Egg Char Koay Teow

(BM) Bukit Mertajam Duck Egg Char Koay Teow – Bukit Mertajam is famous for duck egg char koay teow, yes or no? That’s what my girlfriend told me. George Town also has duck egg char koay teow, just frying with duck egg is top-up request, where as in Bukit Mertajam, you only get a choice of egg and that’s duck egg. Duck egg makes your char koay teow taste better.

There’s one good one in Bukit Mertajam that used to locate on the roadside of Jalan Kulim has now moved to a new place, also on Jalan Kulim, but to be exact, is at Kampung Baru, in a coffee shop.

I was having hard time looking for it because there’s not much people posted it on the Internet or Facebook. My girlfriend asked around her friends and finally we found the place.

At RM4.50 a plate with a deep fried egg omelete. It’s good in the sense of different with others that I’d in George Town. The koay teow is darker because of different soy sauce used and best of all, lots of lards (not healthy though)! The deep fried egg omelette is compliment to the koay teow and it’s a must add-on when you order a plate of this. If the koay teow can be dryer than it will be best.

Opens only at night, after 8pm.

Wan Tan Mee, Steam Bread & Egg @ Imbi Market (Pasar Bukit Bintang)

Wan Tan Mee, Steam Bread & Egg Breakfast @ Imbi Market – Known to Imbi Market to locals, but officially known as the Pasar Bukit Bintang which is a wet market located stone throw away from Bukit Bintang shopping district. I never know there’s such a nice wet market located in the centre of Kuala Lumpur providing good food and culture. This place gives me a feeling of eating at places like Presgrave Market (5th Road Market) in Penang.

Original Sisters Crispy Popiah where you can find it almost at any mall in Kuala Lumpur. Previously Taylor’s University has a stall but no idea why it’s closed down now.

I was searching for kaya bread and half-boiled egg for breakfast and found this place on Google. I set up my Waze app GPS from my phone and headed to this place. Upon arriving, I felt good, seeing locals shopping for groceries and many people eating at the food stalls area. This place is fun, this place is so local.

I was too excited and saw many good food around, having no idea which is the best, I randomly ordered a set of kaya steam bread + half boiled egg, and also a plate of wan tan noodle. I’ve got to say all of them were good too me except the wan tan mee was expensive @ RM5/plate! OMG. Although the noodle is springy and the char siew is sweet and BBQ enough but then it’s kinda expensive. In Penang, you can find similar wan tan mee for RM2.50 at Chowrasta Market!

As for the steam kaya bread, it’s good, but Toh Soon’s Cafe has a better one. Haha. I heard that there’s another stall has good kaya toast (instead of steam) at this market too, I am going to check out next time.

I have a scrumptious breakfast that morning and I will come back again, for other food.

Famous 45-Minutes Pork Noodle @ Ooi Noodle House, SS15

Famous 45-Minutes Pork Noodle @ Ooi Noodle House, SS15 – My friend told me about a famous pork noodle (g yok fun) in SS15, Subang Jaya. I didn’t really bother about until a day, suddenly my mind feels like finding it. I search on Foursquare about the location and I not really sure, it says ‘Famous 45-minutes Pork Noodle’, so I follow the map on Foursquare and reaches this Ooi Noodle House.

I asked for 2 bowls of pork noodles, koay teow and the person told me, “Need to wait 45-minutes wor…”. I was like, really?

I went in to the cafe, it was tea time about 3pm, I saw many people were waiting for the pork noodle, reading newspaper, playing with iPhone and iPod. Seems like everyone is OK with the wait, so me and my dear Hueisean waited together, chatting the way to our pork noodle to arrive.

It costs RM5/bowl and to be honest, the soup is really tasty. It’s very sweet and ‘pork-ful’. There’s sinful deep fried lard, minced meat, pork liver, sliced lean pork and vegetable. I guess it really lives off with the name of 45-minutes pork noodle. I’ve got to say, it worth the wait (once in a while). I really like the pork noodle, but the wait is kinda long somehow, have to wait for the mood comes again and I’ll visit the shop – Ooi Noodle House.

Pasar Malam-Style In Taylor’s University

Pasar Malam-Style In Taylor’s University – University was pretty happenings last week for two days. As early as 9am, the Char Koay Teow uncle has already started his job frying koay teow. I don’t know it’s nice or not, I also don’t really have much confidence in him, but I did see many people queuing up for it.

What’s happening was the Borneo Jazz Festival brought in a few hawker-style food stall to Taylor’s for 2 days to promote the Borneo Jazz Festival which is happenings now. I have no idea, the event is this weekend but they promote it few days before, how can people here have time to buy air tickets to fly there? Anyway, it’s nice to see the food stalls here, it feel lively, awesome, fun, shiok, and shuang, although I didn’t buy anything. Hahaha. I was too lazy to queue is another reason.
