香港满记甜品 @ Haizhu, Guangzhou

Advertisements

Ok I know you must be thinking why should I review such a popular dessert chain of stores right? Reason is, what they have in HK is different from the ones in China. In fact they have some other interesting items which distinguish them from their HK parent chain of stores. I was putting up at Lido Hotel on Beijing Lu in Guangzhou last month and this dessert store is just downstairs! Apart from other many great food places lah…

The Store
The Ambience
Deco
The guy took out a ciggy to smoke and was asked to go out of the shop! LOL!
All thanks to the new non-smoking law in public places in Guangzhou! Woot!
Soy Beancurd with mango and pomelo.
Durian Pudding RMB$22 per piece
Very soft skin and lovely durian puree inside.
Tried this also
Baked and served hot!
Baked sago custard on top and yam paste inside! Damn nice!

Rating: 4.5/5. Prices a tad too high.

Taste: Was really nice and addictive especially the durian thing… I had 2 servings!

Price: A bit on the high side but still affordable to us.

Portion: Below average for the price paid.

RTE: If I see them in Shenzhen, I might just pop by.

Location: This one is below Lido Hotel, Beijing Lu, Guangzhou. They have many branches in HK, SZ and GZ.

FAMOUS NGAU KEE BEEF NOODLES (KL)

Advertisements

Was in KL for a night and was recommended this place by a friend in KL. Heard this is a regular joint for supper for most party goers in KL… well at least for the locals.

So my friend drove us to the back part of Jalan Alor, which is the famous street for good street food. The little stall is located along the small road just behind Hotel Nova vicinity. Problem is trying to find a parking but we were lucky.

The stall
The owner cooking the noodles
Price list!
The not so appealing noodles... The black stuff on top is the beef... not bad with a little herbal taste. The egg noodles are pretty springy. - RM$6 for the biggest bowl
A bowl of soup that comes with the noodles... I ordered the mixed one with beef parts. Soup is very clear and nice.
We ordered an extra bowl of beef balls. Wholesome and full of flavour. - RM$6 for 10pcs
Great chilli sauce for dipping the beef balls and parts.
Homemade ice cold herbal drink... very nice and refreshing! - RM$1.30

Rating: 4/5

Taste: Acquired. Some people may not like the cowdung-looking lump on top of the noodles and some may not like the herbal taste of that lump of thing. But it was alright for me and this is totally not found in Singapore.

Portion: Above average.

Price: Relatively cheap. Good supper item. Next time I might choose to stay near Jalan Alor to feature all the food there!

RTE: Yes but there are lots to try there still…

Location: Beginning of Tingkat Tong Shin, 50200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Just behind Corona Inn Hotel)

Koon Kee Restaurant (Sirat Rd/Yio Chu Kang Road)

Advertisements

This is a restaurant which is run by my friend’s brother but I doubt he knows me. So I was there with another friend, and after we sat down, my friend’s dad appeared from the kitchen. I doubt he recognised me as well because he only met me once when I was much slimmer… haha… The whole restaurant is set in a very garage retro setting which is great for bringing your parents and kids as they are both nostalgic and educational. Check out the ambience.

So I asked uncle what he recommends for 2 people… So these are what we ordered.

Mee Goreng! This mee goreng's taste reminds of the taste of the original mee goreng of Punggol Choon Seng Seafood. Very nostalgic and nice!
Pork Rib King... Super tender and yummy!
Thai Fish Cake & Ngoh Hiang Combination. Both home made and filled with loads of fillings. Super nice!
Check out the thai fish cake... love the irregular shape... 🙂
Check out the ngoh hiang... the taste is almost like my teochew grandma's!!!
Vegetarian Kak Nah. Simple, garlic, full of taste.

Rating: 5/5

Taste: All the dishes we ordered are damn good… the secret is, uncle know how to control the wok fire (火候) very well… that’s why it adds to the taste. If there are more people, a must try is the cold dish platter. Try the crab meat omelette inside… and tell me what you think of it… the last time I tried it with my family, I tell you, we wallop everything in seconds. If you’re alone, try the hor fun… any form. The normal Tse Char type, beef hor fun or even the dried ones… you’ll love it!

Portion: Adequately good!

Price: $40+ (Think uncle gave us discount cos we were the last customers… )

Location: At the turning of Sirat Road along Yio Chu Kang Road. Just beside SPC petrol station (Opp Serangoon stadium’s carpark)

Facade of the restaurant
SPC pertrol station is before the turning into Sirat Rd. Parking is good opposite at the stadium there. This side is really bad.
