Welcome Seafood Restautant, Sunway Mentari.

My wife recently is on a crab eating spree. I am not fan of crabs but I am dragged into these restaurants....HE HE HE!! The other day I had a flyer out into my mail box about this place in Sunway Mentari that offers RM9.90 for Shark Fin soup and RM29.90 for Buddha Jump over the wall. I never tried this Buddha Jump Over the Wall before. I heard stories that it tasted so good the even a monk after trying it will jump over the wall to leave the monestary. That Good AH???? Like that must try since it was also on special offer. Drove to Sunway Mentari with a few friend and the wife. Found the place. We hesitated to enter in the first place as the place did not have any customers. No customers, bad food? Then again I thought looks can be deceiving ( as I learnt recently) so never mind try first time la.

We knew exactly what we wanted. I had the sharks fin soup and the rest had the Buddha Jump over the wall. Here now in this post, I will only speak of this Buddha Jump over the wall. I was surprise that its actually a soup filled with seafood, scollops and abolone. Didn't look that interesting from the onset. I had a sip of the soup. It tasted like Herbal soup! It didn't have this great taste that I would imagine. I just tasted like ordinary herbal soup! I wonder why the Buddha will Jump over the wall for this!!! For me I would jump back into the monestary.

The rest of the food tasted only fair nothing great to shout about. I sure I will not return to this place again if I had a choice. Now this place looks was not deceiving, it was the real thing!

Devil's Crab, USJ 10.

I drive pass this place almost every week when ever I'm in Taipan however never went and ate here before. The place somehow gave me an impression that its does not serve delicious food. Appreance can be deceiving sometimes. Also I also thought that Devil's crab was a Melaka Portuguese thing and I had it once a long time ago and never had a fancy to it. So this time after years of passing by this place I decide to try it with the home ministry. Since there was only two (effectively eating) of us only order three servings. The fried rice with salted fish, greens and chilly crab. The fried rice was a bit salty but I overheat regulars from other table asking for less salt in it. The chilly crab was nice (the gravy I mean). I can keep eating it with my fried rice.
All in all the place was a pleasant surprise for me. I alway thought that it only catered for a specific group of customers but the food turned out ot be pretty decent. Looks can be deceiving.

Hokkien Mee, 126 Seapark.

A friend of mine came down from Singapore the other night and we meet up for some supper. He wanted to try the Hokkien Mee in Jalan 222. So off we when over to Jalan 222 but found the place closed. What do we do? So since Seapark was near by we drove there to look for some food. As it was late at night most of the coffee shops selling Hokkien Mee was almost ready to close. We then drove pass Caltex in Seapark and found this stall still open. So we stopped the car and in we when to order the Hokkien Mee. I not a big fan of Hokkien Mee but I must admit that when the fried lard pieces are added into the nooddles it does very good and it gives that crunchy feeling in the mouth. One of the other thing I seldom do is to add an raw egg on top of it. Well after mixing up the newly fried noodles and the egg, I can hardly taste the egg or if the noodles taste any different. But this place serves an above average Hokkien Mee for my taste but then again coming from a non-fan of Hokkien Mee, it probably counts alot.

Nasi Berani, Masjid Lama Nilai.

I go to this place during only special occasions. Occasions were we in my office feel like celebrating something. Its a special place. This place is actually situated inside the mosque compound and customers or different races and religious believes walks into the mosque compound during lunch for the fantastic meal. This place only sells nasi berani only twice a week (Tuesday and Thursdays) and that also you need to pre order by phone. No walk in customers are allowed to order the berani. Inducing articifial demand by the supplier? This berani sold at this mosque is actually the one similar you get in Dubai or the original one from India (I heard, I not been to India before). Unlike other places in KL or PJ, this place uses long grain rice for the berani and the chicken is actually cook inside the rice. They produce limited amounts on Tuesdays and Thursdays and when I arrive there its normally almost finish.
The special thing about this rice is that unlike other places, this one is spicy but not hot or oily. It relatively easy to eat large amounts of it. The price is also reasonable at RM6 per plate with a big piece of chicken in it. The mee goreng too will be my next order as I was told is pretty good too.

Khong Kee Yong Yau Foo, Seapark.

Whilst waiting for the 12th General Election results I thought I update my blog. Last weekend I had a visit to my favourite yong tau foo place in Seapark P.J. I had a liking for the yong tau foo (YTF) broth that they serve the the stuffed with taufu. One thing I found about this place is that the piece of stuffed YTF are generally generous in their proportions. The unique thing about this place is that you can order porridge, curry lo chi fun or fried noodles to go with your YTF. My personally favourite is the curry lo chi fun. When ever I m there I only order the curry lo chi fun to go withmy YTF.
My normal visits are Sunday mornings but this place is quite far from where I stay now so nowadays my visits get less frequent.

Porridge to go with YTF.

Logenhaus, Taipan USJ.

The last time I was at this place was more than 10 years ago. It was when Taipan had just open for only a few years. I been passing this place ever since and not been in for meal. Now since I moved closed to USJ I pass this place more often. So today I made it a point to have dinner there. There were only two of us but I order two mains and two sides as I was yearning to try out this place again. When I entered the place I don't remember the place much. They had a limited selection in th menu but the roast chicken was definately a feature there. I had the half roast chicken while the wife had the lamb shank. The chicken was roasted to perfection with a nice crispy skin. The lamb shank was nice and tender too. I would order it the next time I m there. However due to me being a chicken lover, I thought the chicken tasted better than the lamb shank.
Had ordered the nachos with cheese and the escargots too. Tried both of them not too much to my liking but it was at the same time not dissapointing. I be back for the roast chicken the next time.
