I would say that most of the Friday’s lunch is a fish head noodle meal. We’ve tried those at Damansara Kim, at Kuchai Lama and even Jalan Ipoh. Our favorite so far is the one at Kuchai Lama. I will introduce it in one of the future posts.

Distance from office to all these eatery places are about the same. Jalan Ipoh is a very busy street, especially during lunch time. Traffic is havoc. This fish head noodle place is located at a certain corner of Jalan Ipoh, which I do not know how to describe. What’s most distinguish is that, a chinese temple is located opposite this stall. Behind this stall, there’s a classic chinese garden decorated with a pavillion.

Its like back to the very olden days, something like “Journey To the West” kind of scenery. I suppose what’s missing is the monkey, pig & monk. Haha. Ok, back to the food. Fish head noodles served here looks somehow like the one at Kuchai Lama. It uses the super thick mee hoon. They called it “lai fun” if I’m not wrong. The fish head noodle’s soup is not that fragrant, we only tasted milk. It doesn’t really come with a lot of fish head, that’s because they’ve added fishballs and fu zuk to fill up the pot.

Apart from fish head noodles, there’s other dishes such as fried starchy  noodle, fried “pak kor” and other fried stuffs such as fish cake, fu zuk and etc. We find that their side dishes tasted so much better if compared to the main dish. The other two plates of fried noodles that we’ve ordered tasted rather bland too.

Environment wise, this place is kind of hot during the afternoon. The stall is set up with zinc roof which provides a lot of heat. Crowd wise, all tables are almost filled up. It makes us wonder, why do they have so many patrons in this deserted stall where the food tastes only so-so? You might wanna head over here to try out the food, you might find it to your liking. But its definitely not to ours as we said to ourselves that this is only a once in a lifetime experience. :p

PP and I saw this new shop at Mid Valley at one fine day. We’re there doing our usual weekend grocery shopping and movie session. Feeling hungry, we’ve decided to give this shop a try.

We’ve ordered a plate of spaghetti bolognese and carbonara. This is the worst spaghetti that we’ve ever had!! Gosh, every plate served was bland and lack of ingredients. Its purely spaghetti noodles and sauce with some ham or minced meat. We even had to top it up with lots of cheese powder and tabasco sauce.

I think this shop is a no no! With that amount of price that you’re paying, you might as well as cook it yourself. You know where’s the best spaghetti that I’ve ever had? Its the one that PP made, and nobody tried that except for me. Yum, thanks gong.

I’m sure everyone that is working at Damansara Heights knows where Batai is. Most would park their cars here and this place is a walking distance to a few office buildings located nearby. Some others may also call this place Hock Lee. Why? It’s actually named after a famous mini market located here.

In this small square itself, you will find a few eatery shops. Today, I’ll be introducing the one that’s located in the middle of the row of shops. It’s called restoran seng lee. To get here, you must first locate where Hock Lee is. Hock Lee is by the main roadside, and the restaurant is lcated behind Hock Lee , same row with restoran shangri-la within the Batai parking.

The food that’s nice at this restaurant is the famous char kuey teow. We don’t really have craving for ckt, hence we did not order that. Other good food are such as pork noodles, wan tan noodles, curry noodles and etc. PP had wantan noodles while I’ve ordered myself a bowl of pork noodles.

Their pork noodle is a huge difference compared to the one at Subang Jaya. This is the clear soup type, hence taste is not that strong as well. This is good for sickly people. :p Ok, the bowl of noodle has pork liver (our fav), minced meat, slices of pork meat and of course the vegetables.

As for the wantan noodle, PP says its good for a KL standard. The noodle comes with a small bowl of wantan in soup. This is the dark soy sauce type, and you can find a consistent taste of its rich flavor in every mouthful you take. But then, I must say this again, nobody beats Muar’s wantan noodle! There’s only so few places where we get good wantan noodles in KL. In my upcoming posts, I’m going to introduce the best wantan noodles that we’ve found in KL!
