Soong Kee is so famous for beef balls and noodles that no one notices their chicken rice at all. But for someone who doesn’t take beef like myself, and yet have to keep the colleagues happy by visiting the restaurant, you can opt for chicken rice or minced pork with noodles.

For their chicken rice, they only serve steamed chicken which some people may not fancy but hold your horses before you deny as it tasted pretty good. The meat was smooth and tender, with their rice smelling so aromatic. It was indeed quite appetizing.

As for the minced pork noodles, the portion was a little small even for girls like myself. But the taste made up for it. Right texture of meat with the sauce, we gobbled down within minutes. We ordered their roasted pork as side dishes too but we were disappointed. The roasted pork meat was a little dry and the skin wasn’t too crispy to begin with.

For those who want to dine at this place, it is highly advisable that either you come early before the lunch crowd or probably right after the lunch crowd at 1. The place is also air conditioned so you don’t have to worry about dine and sweat!

It is our childhood memories to spend our weekends around Seri Kembangan area. Parents used to bring us to The Mines where there was a theme park (not too sure if it’s a water park) or only roller coaster ride as we were quite young back then. Couldn’t recall but we always end up having lunch at this wrapped chicken and yong tau foo place with a huge rock formation and fish pond. The last we heard, there was some family feud or some split up, now the siblings actually run the restaurant separately.

So since we were on the way back from Sepang, we dropped by for a quick lunch. The row of shops was so crowded on a weekday lunch time that we had a bit of difficulty to find our parking. We decided to just double park and leave our numbers on the windscreen.

Of course since we were there, we ordered mixed yong tau foo pieces, wrapped chickens, deep fried calamari and their legendary and signature sweet and sour fish! Yong tau foo tasted average; the fish paste was okay but with a slight hint of salted fish might taste better like those Hakka ones. The wrapped chicken was still as good but the fish was normal. All in all we still enjoy our food there.

Craving for some other cuisines besides Chinese meal as we were all pretty bored with it already during Chinese New Year. We were running out of ideas till we chanced upon this Japanese yakitori place.
Not sure if it's new as I've never seen it before this. It is located right above Soleil at Section 17 Petaling Jaya. We made a reservation before that and we were surprised upon arrival as it was quite full. Lucky we did called before that.
We actually ordered two chicken thighs, lady fingers and mushroom for yakitoris where as for main we had the salmon don and kakiage (fried chicken) with sashimi and rice. The bill came up to about RM 110 which we find pretty reasonable since the servings were pretty good, comparable to those like Kampachi. But an an affordable price.
The yakitori was tasty, with the right amount of salt and marinade while my salmon sashimi was awesomely fresh. Every bite feels like heaven and the serving was huge. The amount of salmon can serve up to two pax as one person finishing all the raw fish slices might be a bit too much for some. Kakiage was nice too, juicy despite deep fried.
The ambience of the restaurant is pretty nice too. With a classy interior, light brown woods with dark lightning. Perfect for family or dates!

As usual it is finger licking good. It has always been a favorite of ours when it comes to Sang Har noodle and Crab. But the price sky rocketed and it is getting pricier as time goes by.

There is less crowd on weekdays but probably due to CNY now, there were more diners when we were there. Best to make reservation on weekends though.

Of course we had the Sang Har noodle and as usual, it was really good. The gravy tasted  flavorful with the prawn so huge. There were so much of roe and it was so sinful as we just had prawns the night before too.

This time we had the kam heong lala and a honey coated deep fried squid. The lala was nice, the curry leaves makes it even better but the portion was so small. There were four of us but we only manage to have 3 lala each to ourself at most. 

The squid was something different. Deep fried with honey coated, it can be quite dry but crispy and crunchy on the outside. The texture is good but after awhile, it can be quite tiring to chew at. Will be good for snacks but not so appropriate to pair with rice though.

Banana fritters with a shop in a shopping mall? Banana fritters with a website?! What. I am amazed.
Being a traditional Malaysian snacks, I was impressed when friends told me this particular SS2 banana fritters stall actually had a shop in this shopping mall which even comes with their own website.
For your information, just head straight up to the highest floor where all the street food and restaurant is located, this shop is situated right in front of the escalator. It is extremely easy to find.
So we made our way there during one of our lunch breaks. Since we were pretty full from lunch, I only bought the prawn crackers and something new to us, fried tapioca kuih.
The prawn crackers was average, it was crunchy and crispy paired with the regular chilli sauce nothing much to talk about. But we were blown away by the fried tapioca kuih. Usually it's made and served as steamed with kaya jam or sometimes salt depending on your personal taste. So when we came across the deep fried version we were eager to try.
It was crispy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside. It wouldn't be too dry either, just nice and it smells good too. This is definitely worth another try again in future!
