PJ Oldtown - Fish Paste Noodles

This is probably the best kept secret of PJ Oldtown when it comes to food. I have at first wanted to take details photograph on locating this place, but decided not to... why... simply because its already quite crowded and the wait is already long. Plus, it wouldn't be a secret after that right? Hahaha... so if you want to know where is it exactly, I will take you there and you pay my bill ok ;)

This place, does not have signboard, its just table and chairs laid in at the corridor of a house in PJ oldtown, passing the front of the place, you won't even know it exist! At the back is a small kitchen where the owner cook the noodles bowl by bowl, no shortcut, that's what makes it good. There are also additional place to sit inside the house, but you have to go in from the back.

The wait here average 30-40 mins, so if you can't wait, don't come. This is because there are loads of people who come, willing sit down and wait for their take away orders of like 10 packets, the lady boss cooks them one by one. Hehe... also, for drinks, they only have loh han gou and barli, nothing else. They opened 8am to 2.30pm, close on Thursday and Sunday.

They are famous for their fish paste (yee wat) noodles here, but I saw a lot of people ordering minced pork (yok sui) noodles too. The fish paste noodles are soup based, I saw the owner taking the stock from what looks like a big pot of chicken stock from my observation, not exactly sure. Anyway, the noodles are serve in soup with a very generous amount of vegetables, some seaweed, a piece of fried foo chuk and 3 big chunks of fish paste. First thing to try is the soup and its excellent, filled with taste but yet very clear (ching) and natural. The chunky fish paste fills your mouth with a bite full and its soft, no fishy smells and tasty. I can now understand why the crowds keeps coming!

Greedy me (as usual) topped up with 2 side dishes, dumpling (sui kau) and stuffed bittergound (yong foo kua). The dumpling are excellent with 1 huge big prawn in it and the paste have a good mixture of veges inside too. But I fancy the bittergound more, its hardly bitter, soft and the fish paste stuffing are very very generous.

Worth waiting, definately, just need to come earlier next time, can get a bit hot but lucky they have plenty of stand fans around ;). 3 fish paste noodles, 2 siu kau and 4 bittergound, 2 drinks cost RM18.90.

Bdr Bkt Tinggi, Klang - Yo Yo Ice & Fried Chicken

What better to cool down a hot day than a cup of yo yo ice (yau yau ping). Comes in all sort of flavours such as red bean, lychee, assam boi, longan, etc.

I had mine at Restoran Yo Yo Ice. This place is located near the Giant hypermarket in Bandar Bukit Tinggi, Klang. They also sell some very good and crispy fried chickens.

The yo yo ice goes for RM1.50 per cup, you can mix 2 flavour or have the same kind in a cup. Its basically crushed ice flavoured with different taste.

The yummy fried chicken goes from RM2.00 to RM2.20 depending which part you take. Outside is crispy while inside are still soft and tender. Very nice and good for sitting down and chit chat the day away kind of place ;)

Bdr Bkt Tinggi, Klang - Port Klang Hainan Curry Rice

My buddies, the rooster and the cicak whom are from port klang and klang have been telling me about this place a lot, so I decided to pop by last weekend to check it out. What was promoted to me about this place are mainly their curry chicken rice but I was glad when I found out they also serve hainan char siew (roast pork) which I had a chance to try many years ago.










So we got greedy and we start to order a whole lot of stuff, curry chicken, assam fish, pork popiah (lobak), hainan char siew, pineapple intestines, pork blood and intestines soup, etc. The key here is to eat the rice with their special curry gravy, its looks like a thick curry sauce with some dark sauce in it and not spicy at all, just very strong curry taste. The idea is to flood the rice with the curry and go with the dishes.

The chicken in the curry are cooked soft but my favourite here seems to be the hainan char siew which are lean pork roast cripsy with a layer of sweet caramel. The others are quite good too.




























Pricing are so so, RM3 for a piece of curry chicken, RM3 for a piece of hainan char siew, etc. But they will cut all these up for you to be shared. Definately yummy and something to go back to BBT for :)
