K.K. trip August 2012

Hi all! Here's my food post from my recent KK trip in August 2012

 Was at Kah Hiong beef noodles & once again, failed to take pics of what I ate b'cos as soon as the bowl of noodles arrived, it's gone! Haih... it's too good! Hungry also la... Hehe!

 Mixed fish innards in soup with bihun at Houng Kee, Damai Plaza. Everybody said the ingredients was 1st class!

 At Sri Mutiara restaurant, SEDCO Square, we had Tung Fung Lor

 and braised fresh abalone

 and Sabak Clams steamed with ginger & glass noodles

 Steamed fresh crispy prawns, in Cantonese, Pak Cheok Ha.

 Steamed normal garoupa

 Another night we went again to Sri Mutiara & ordered these.. Shark lips

 Shell meat Kahanga with dried chillies.

 Steamed Tiger Garoupa

Steamed Scallops with ginger & glass noodles

 Lunch at Hilltop's Jin Jin Restaurant, fried garoupa slices

 and tomato soup based, mixed fish bihun. The soup is so very nice indeed!

 Breakfast at Yee Fung coffeeshop at Gaya St. :  this is claypot chicken rice

 and this is the reason for coming to Yee Fung, Sarawak Laksa! Of cos, can't compare to original from Sarawak la...

 Here's the menu at Yee Fung.

 Dinner at Ang's Hotel,  ground floor shop. Across from Wisma Merdeka. Braised pig's trotter, chicken in batter, ginger onion fish slices, chicken wings, bitter gourd venison. Yummy! Food was fast & good. The place was packed to the brim.

 Breakfast at Kedai Kopi Kinabalu, off Gaya Street. Ngiu Chap with bihun.

Ngiu chap with kolo mee

 Sheng Rou Mian or translated: Fresh pork noodles

 Pork noodles from Kedai Kopi Melanian parallel road to Gaya St.

 At the Filipino market, we quenched our thirst with this.

 Last lunch before going back to KL, we had mixed fish noodles at a different location. Kedai Kopi Wan Wan, which was again very good. This is in a light industrial area.

 This is what they have

 I ate this, fish head bihun.

 My friend ordered this, fish slice bihun.

 I also ate this , fish noodles, made entirely from fish paste.

 This is steamed mayau fish and it tasted like mui heong salted fish! Heavenly man!! Their menu is below.

K.L. food at last!

People have been asking me, how come I post non-KL food when I'm based in KL? Haha! Ok la, here's my share of KL food:

Lets start here with Teochew food at Restoran Lao Er in Jalan Brunei, behind Shaw Parade.

 Teochew food at Lao Er, Pudu.

 Braised duck, tong sui, veg..

 What I want to eat here specifically is the Kueh Chap in thick dark broth! So super smooth, it just slides down your throat.

Lao Er's set lunch. rm6.90 only.

Close up of the Kueh Chap. Delicious!

Now we move on to Kepong's NICE SOUP GANG RESTAURANT in Taman Daya, near the Petronas station.

 New type of veg, dragon veg.

 Steamed loong thun/estuary garoupa.Oh so nice & chewy!

 Pumpkin fried with salted egg. Sinful! Haha..

Bird's nest.. Yummy!

Mongolian lamb & Hongkong Kailan at Nice Soup Gang.

Now for some western food at Gaucho Grill in Chulan Square, Jalan Raja Chulan just behind Pavilion.

 Their set lunch is 1 entree plus buffet salad bar

 Salad bar...

 My main course: sirloin steak, baked potato, mixed veg.

My salad from the salad bar, yummy! Just loved the salads..

Off the beaten path, if you happen to go to Tg. Sepat, go to the famous pau shop. Hai Yew Heng

Where they have a large variety of pau, eat the hot pau at the kopitiam across from the pau factory, then you tapau (pun intended) the cold pau from the pau factory.

Back to KL, Wangsa Maju to be exact. The famous Burger Kaw Kaw! I waited 1 hour for this.. & I was early, my queue no.4. Haih.. But was it worth the wait? YES!!!!

 The menu, its not cheap by any measure but then you get what you pay for, real own-made lean beef patties

 They start at 7pm, I was there at 6pm, yet my queue no. was 4!

 The queue stretches all the way to the tree in the background.

 The cooks in action.

 Queue no.1 & 2 brought their tabs to while away the time, guess they must be regulars, haha! Smart!

 The kitchen, mind you, this is a roadside stall.

 Like the man said, they are pioneers in this!

My dinner! Yeehaw! After 1 hour of waiting, just can't wait to sink my teeth into this lovely thing.. Look at the size of the patties, each patty is 180gm of pure beef, each is bigger than the bun. In contrast, you have to open the bun to find the beef in that famous fast food joint, then you gotta scream, "where's the beef?"
