Penang char kuey teow in Damansara Perdana – Frankie @ Restoran 8888 & Igor @ 9999
Frankie used to be THE char kuey teow man here.
Mention ‘Damansara Perdana char kuey teow‘ or ‘8888 char kuey teow‘ and the man in question would be Frankie.
Char siew @ Lum Choong Kee Bamboo Noodles & Chef Li’s Penang hawker food (laksa, hokkien mee)
The Sunday morning mission for this Penang char-boh (girl) was to savour some hometown delicacies after being repetitively assaulted by the delectable images of assam laksa shared on Facebook.
Big bowl curry mee at Selayang – Coca Restaurant
This 25th December, as my FB got flooded with images of Christmas trees, pasta, turkey & beef I was looking forward to some quiet time to for writing.
As usual what was planned didn’t go as planned.
The festive season saw some friends on holidays, and thus with time on their hands.
An invite from a friend came on Xmas eve, asking if I’m open to explore some food joints. I had thought why not; since I have few like-minded and similar tastebuds foodie friends and having them available for food exploration is considered a blessing.
And so Christmas day began at 6.30am.
First on our list was this “giant bowl curry mee” in Selayang, notoriously known for its long wait but indubitably tempting due to its appearance.

Where to get the best Nyonya chang in Malaysia/Singapore?
Since Melaka is known for its nyonya food, is it understandable that anything with the label “nyonya” (which includes nyonya kuih and nyonya “chang/ glutinous rice dumplings are most sought-after here.
If you don’t already know, Nyonya glutinous rice dumpling is an entirely dissimilar variant to the regular Cantonese chang (or any other other rice dumplings for that matter).
It has its own distinctive flavour since it uses specific ingredients and spices.
In my opinion the addition of candied wintermelon is a must; since traditional recipes does and that’s what gave it the sweet-savoury element.
Sadly I find that it is usually omitted now. I don’t like the taste and smell myself but a bit does gives the nyonya chang its characteristic taste.
What to eat at Imbi Market – Curry Mee, Egg Toast and Hainanese Tea, Ginger Noodles with Wine & more!
I love markets.
The mix of people-watching, checking out fresh produce and sampling the freshly prepared local food all in one venue is to me the perfect key to get acquainted with any city or country.
The Imbi market is right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
It comprises of 2 main sections – the wet market (where the locals buy vegetables and meat) and the hawkers’ section where they trade some of the best Malaysian food.
The market starts early in the morning at around 6.30am and closes around 12pm to 1pm but it’s best to go early, walk around, explore both sections and then reward yourself with a hearty breakfast.
What to eat here:
1. Ann Nasi Lemak.
Imbi Hawker Stalls @ open air carpark beside Honda showroom – I love the Ampang yong tow foo!
I seldom crave for Chinese food but when I do it has to be really good.
One of the few Chinese food that I enjoy and do crave for is dim sum and yong tau foo. There are others of course (siew yok, char siew, etc) but I really really love my yong tau foo and dim sum!
I have yet to uncover really good yong tau foo in TTDI/PJ area and though I have read positive reviews on a few places in Puchong, I’m the sort who will travel for burgers & steaks but not for Chinese /local cuisine.
And so I don’t think I’ll be trying any of those awesome yong tau foo soon. But hey, is anyone here volunteering to fetch me? I don’t mind if I’m not driving! 😀
But I digress. Where was I? Ah yes, about cravings.
Now one of the very few cravings I get from time to time is for this yong tau foo on Jalan Imbi, near the Honda showroom and the famous pork noodles at Win Seng Heng coffee shop.
Peter’s Kitchen – Pork Burgers @ Asia Cafe, Puchong
This last long Raya weekend has been a very productive one! 😀
Well, NOT productive in terms of work, LOL, no thanks to the chilly weather but rather productive in terms of FOOD hunts!
For one, I got to try 2 new pork burgers at 2 different locations. One was a RM28 Extreme Pork burger at The Elk, Solaris Mont Kiara and another 3 was a variety of pork burgers by Peter’s Kitchen in Asia Cafe, Puchong.
BELOW: Extreme Pork Burger at The Elk, Solaris Mt Kiara. RM28.
BELOW: Peter’s Kitchen Pork Burger – RM12.50 – Asia Cafe, Puchong.
Then I added another dim sum joint to my repertoire of dim sum write-ups. To top that off, I found really good pork satay as well as the most amazing pork leg rice.
Yes it was a good weekend indeed! 😀

Yut Kee Restaurant for Hainanese fare, pork chops & Roti Babi!
The news of Yut Kee getting evicted from its humble shoplot on Jalan Dang Wangi created a ripple of shock & raised indignation among foodies & friends yesterday.
Source of story here: HERE
Truth to be told, I thought Yut Kee’s food was average at best & its quality has seen better days; and my sentiments was echoed by many fellow foodies & friends. Hence obviously I wasn’t that “affected” by the news.
Still, Yut Kee is institutional, and rarely would one see the humble coffee shop empty during breakfast or lunch hours. The queue is pretty epic. And uncomfortable too; as it stretched out to the main street under the hot sun.
Having said all that, where else can I find tender savoury pork chops, roti babi (a personal favourite thought I didn’t quite like Yut Kee’s version), and all that traditional kopitiam fare & variety of Hainanese food under one roof in Selangor/KL?
Hainanese Pork Chop.
Roti Babi (Pork Bread/Bun).
And not to mention our traditional breakfast favorites; the humble half boiled eggs & toast.
