Chicken rice is one of PP’s favorite food. We’ve tried most of the chicken rice shops located near our home and office. Our favorite chicken rice stall is located near our office at Jalan Batai. This one that we’ll be introducing is located at Section 17 PJ instead.

Section 17 is located quite near to Damansara Heights. This is one of the lunch places whereby you can eat your lunch leisurely and be able to make it back to the office in an hour’s time. If you would like to dine at this place or rather eat this stall’s chicken rice, be sure to come at 12pm sharp.

Once you’re late, you’ll be stuck in a long queue at the stall. Its either that or some of their dishes have sold out. We would usually go in a group of 5 or 10 pax. We would also order ourselves one or sometimes when we’re too hungry, two huge platters of mix roasted meat to share with. One dish that can’t be missed is their spicy and sour vegetable. This dish really increases the appetite.

I must really introduce the char siew that’s sold here. Even Aman Suria’s Famous Seremban Favorites can’t even be compared to this. This stall’s char siew will simply melt in your mouth. No kidding. Their roast pork is PP’s favorite. The skin is crunchy and the rest of its meat is tender and juicy. I guess these info will be good enough. I won’t be doing too much of advertising here, else the next time we won’t be able to find seats over there during lunch. :p

You can hardly find food, not to say even good food at Kelana Jaya’s area. The nearest foodie place is at Aman Suria. At this place itself, there’s already two nice pan mee shops. One of it is Bao Bao, and the other one would be Cha Cha pan mee which operated at a later date.

This restaurant operates all day long, from breakfast to dinner time. There’s more food varieties here, if compared to Bao Bao’s shop. We have not tried their breakfast items yet. I saw in some blogs that they serve mee-siam and carrot/yam cake.

Back to our food, we’ve ordered ourselves a bowl of Cha Cha original pan mee and a bowl of dry pan mee to try out. The original pan mee comes in the soup type. I like their soup base, its strong in anchovies taste. Like all the other soup pan mee, this bowl has mince meat, mushroom, vegetable and anchovies. Bao Bao’s version had one more extra ingredient, which is the fried fish skin.

As for the dry pan mee, it is not to our liking. The sauce is just plain sweet dark soy sauce. Nothing special about this noodle. Its served with the usual minced meat, mushroom, vegetable and anchovies.

Overall, the best pan mee stall to our liking is still the Loh Pan Mee at Paramount Garden. That is the place where we’ll eat at least once in a month.

While PP is busy working on his work presentation slide, I’m also busy working on my overdue blog posts. I’ve been getting more and more lazy these days.

Betty’s Midwest Kitchen is now our favorite porky place. This place was first introduced by my current boss, D. We’ve passed by this shop quite a few times before, never had a good impression on it. Sometimes look does not matter, the food matters the most! This is a good lesson to learn.

This place serves all sorts of pork dishes, ranging from ribs, sausages, bacon, ham, meatloaf and many more. Our few favorites were their hog wild, grill baby back ribs, sausage platter and their pull pork burger.

This is the only place where after finishing the meal, I won’t feel too greasy or meaty. Appetizer wise, our favorite here is their pig in a blanket. This is a basket of small sausages wrapped in bacon and layered with some honey.

Most of the dishes here came with side dishes such as coleslaw or mashed potatos. I always crave for these two side dishes. Their coleslaw somehow tastes unique, not too much of mayonnaise but rich in vegetables and tastes rather sweet. Mashed potatos on the other hand is so soft, creamy and its best served with its mash potato gravy.

Food wise, every dish that we tried tasted so good. There nothing to complain about, not a bit! What I would suggest is for you to come here and try it out because all dishes has their own unique taste and flavor. You’ll have to identify your favorites then.
