Gong Hey Fatt Choy from ... Tanjung Malim :-)


A special loh-sang evening, late one night in Tanjung Malim ...

This is Berkeley Gardens in Klang :-) Its located at the "end" of the Federal Highway, at the "entrance" to Klang town. It happens to be where me and my brothers grew up, and I have very fond memories of this place.

Review: SmallKuching.com

Recommended by KYS (Fellow ex-Berkeleyite!), this was to be the 2nd BKT I had for the day (The 1st being Mo Sang Kor below!). Yes, decided to give my porky-needs a little treat, on what was to be the last day of my holiday back home ... Perhaps I went at the "end of the pot", but I didn't find it to be too spectacular. However, I do trust the tastebuds of KYS, and will make a return visit there one day!


As I was driving through my old neck of the woods, I spotted this interesting restaurant serving FRIED PORRIDGE, which I know Bangsar Babe recently blogged about! If you must know, its located at Lorong Lang, Berkeley.


OK back to BKT ... On a previous occasion, I had enjoyed the BKT here very much. This is the shop lot at the end of the row, and its known simply as Pao Xiang. There's a really good write-up here, by Precious Pea, which even lists all the outets (Yes, it has reached the lofty heights of having an outlet at Pavilion KL and even One Utama!).

Review: Motormouth from Ipoh

Funny how there are now multiple BKT joints along the road which I had previously known to have some 4D shops, a little temple and a newsagent where I bought my Panini football stickers!

I could think of many worse ways to spend RM$75 ... Purchased this FBB special aka Christmas Cake from the man himself, in Bangsar, a month ago ... and we finally had the chance to savour it on Boxing Day!

Wow, after Malaysia and Singapore, my blog is being frequented by folk in the UAE too :-)



ps - Wikipedia describes the UAE ...

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) (Arabic: دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة‎, Dawlat al-Imārāt al-‘Arabīyah al-Muttaḥidah) is a federation of seven emirates situated in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula in Southwest Asia on the Persian Gulf, bordering Oman and Saudi Arabia.

The UAE consists of seven states, termed emirates, which are Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Quwain, Ras al-Khaimah and Fujairah. The capital and second largest city of the United Arab Emirates is Abu Dhabi. It is also the country's center of political, industrial and cultural activities.

History courtesy of Lyrical Lemongrass:
Sin Kee Restaurant in Brickfields used to be located in a wooden structure next to a petrol station along Jalan Tun Sambanthan. With progress and development, and the words KL Sentral whispered excitedly among the residents of Brickfields, Sin Kee moved to a shoplot across the road. Of late, there have been some positive refurbishments in Sin Kee. The restaurant now boasts a purple ceiling and orange lamps that create a warm and funky ambience to the otherwise old-fashioned chinese restaurant.

Description by Rasarasa.net:
Foo Kei Chang started Sin Kee in a makeshift wooden building in 1969 next to the Shell petrol kiosk in Brickfields. In 1999, it moved into a shoplot because the government needed the land for KL Sentral.
Foo Kei Chang has since retired and passed the restaurant to son Man Eek. Sin Kee is still known for its Hainanese steamed rice. Its speciality menu also has local and Western influences.


I gathered L and FBB one day to try my favourite Hainanese Chicken Chop in KL, and it didn't dissapoint. Perfectly grilled chicken, delicious hand-cut fries and perfectly balanced tomato-based baked-beans gravy.


Our fave dish ... Recommended by the propietor / uncle, Rice & Stewed spare ribs with Potato. Great taste, served with soft-melt-in-mouth spuds.


Lift the "magical" red bowl ... and voila, steaming goodness! Yes, this is Sin Kee's "signature" dish, Man Fan.


Best described by Lyrical Lemongrass..
Mun Fan is a one dish meal. Plain rice liberally topped with big fresh prawns, squids and sliced fishcake in a darkish sauce of onions, covering a fried omelette, and lettuce to complete the picture. We usually request for sliced lup cheong (chinese sausage) to be added to the dish to make it sinfully good. The flavours from the delectable seafood, lup cheong and caramelised onions work together perfectly to create a sweet and savoury meal.

Plenty of wok-hei in the simply stir fried Yau Mak. Deeelicious.


Good value at RM$40 for all this , including desserts of Sea Coconut and Fu-chok gingko nuts barley tong sui.


FBB and L agrees ... we shall be back!!
