Yam Yam Seafood Restaurant was one of the restaurants that offers almost all my favourite food in one venue – homemade fishballs, frogs (yes!!), claypot lamb and sweet and sour pork.
Sadly, food turned out to be just about decent, definitely not one of my favorites or one that I’ll be keen to revisit.
But to be fair, it wasn’t terribly bad, just that we weren’t impressed with our dinner.
Woke up at 3am, arrrived at KLIA 2 at 4am. Boarded a 6:10am flight and landed in Changi at 7:15am. Freshen up in Changi washrooms, grabbed my luggage and took the MRT…
Wong Koh Kee is a classic culinary gem.
A 3rd generation business with almost 80 years of history, Wong Koh Kee retains simplicity in everything; its recipes, the venue, the furniture, the cutleries and even the order taking procedure.
Heck, even its staff are ancient.
But that’s the charm you see, for this is one venue to head to for a taste of yesteryears’ cuisine, the sort that your grandparents would dish out; cheap, tasty, no frills and prepared via traditional methods.
Available only for lunch, be prepared to eat and go, for the place is perpetually crowded and table turnovers is high.
You can linger if you wish but I doubt your conscience (unless you have absolutely none) will allow you to dawdle when the old waiters not-to-discreetly clear away your plates plus the many pair of eyes boring into you as they stand in queue for a seat in the shop.

I’m not entirely sure why, but it seems that I eat a lot more chicken rice in Seremban than I do in KL.
Maybe it is because Seremban has 2 particularly famous chicken rice outlets; one the “Diamond Chicken Rice” and another is this one; popular for their porridge and well, the chicken.
And my good friend Kevin who is Seremban boy and had stayed in this little town all his life got me hooked to his favourite chicken rice at Continental Hotel. Many thanks to him for sharing this gem (post HERE).
For Restoran Seremban Chicken Porridge, I was only interested in the chicken of course, since I’m not a porridge fan at all.
My first visit was in September 2015 and likely my last.
The chicken rice is no doubt tasty, but with such prices, the long wait and the we-don’t-need-your-business attitude, it won’t be a place that I’ll recommend freely.
Eating Thai food in Ipoh? Why?? Well, I had similar reservations when my trusted Ipoh guide Brian bought the topic up. However over the years, I’ve learnt that if Brian recommends it, it will…

There are times I question my needs in life.
Do I need food, sleep or internet connectivity more?
Ok, that was a joke.
Or maybe not.
