Restoran Lan Je is my kaiye's favourite makan place whenever he’s in Rawang for business meeting.we were there at off-peak hour, still it’s packed to the brim.Steamed Tilapia | RM 14.50 onwards
this is their signature dish! steamed tilapia drenched in soy sauce (and some other secret sauces i think) with loads finely chopped garlic, ginger, chilli padi decorated with julienne spring onion. yesh, tilapia is the only fish available here.the fish was berry fresh. flesh remained soft, and the slightly spicy sauce really complement the flesh berry well, not too overpowering! ngam ngam hou
if you don’t know, the fish is not meant to be shared. one per person, that’s how people enjoy the fish wholly.we also ordered a plate of green to makan together with the fish!

i have been here few times, and their quality has always been consistent. Kaiye said the one at Kota Damansara was not so delicious though. so yeah, head down right here if you want the best steamed fish!

is there any particular restaurant(s) that you always go back whenever you’re craving for certain food? Restoran Lee Hong Kee has always been our favourite restaurant when it comes to Chinese food!

the dishes are nothing over the top but homey and tasty, wait staffs are hospitable, and location is strategic too (to us la). the new location is even better with ample parking lots! it’s previously known as Restoran LYJ. new name for new premise perhaps?the new old Restoran Lee Hong Kee located at Kampung Baru Sungai Buloh, a Chinese settlement.they do wedding dinners too. i’m not sure how many pax can they cater, you might have to call in to check {Klang Valley} Restoran Lee Hong Kee @ Kg. Baru Sg. BulohChinese tea is best paired with Chinese food!Leaf Lettuce 清炒油麦 | RM18
simple stir-fried leaf lettuce with garlic and soy sauce.Beancurd Delight 沙煲豆腐 | RM 18
braised tofu with veggies and black fungus.Sweet & Sour Pork Chop 排骨王 | RM 22
one of my MUST-ORDER whenever i’m dining in Chinese restaurant! meat was solid, taste was great, the only complain is, the gravy was too starchy :/ i never likey gluey texture like this..Claypot Fish 生煲鱼 | RM 38
this was the first time i had this fish dish! really really fresh fish steamed in a claypot. pretty interesting. the flesh was really soft and remember to drizzle some of the gravy on! don’t fancy the smelly grasses scattered around though.complimentary plate of fruit to end our delightful lunchy!

all these came up to slightly over RM 100 inclusive of four rice and tea, which fed four of us well, pretty reasonable we thought.

and if you are here for the first time, you might wanna try the roasted chicken which is served standing errr elegantly with its nose held high! you will be given pair of scissors and gloves and you’ll have to dissect it yourself! pretty fun!

i donno if you’ve ever heard of a song, Summer Girls by LFO, one of the line says ‘Chinese food makes me sick’. they have no taste betul. tsk.

you spotted the ‘Sarawak’ word and wondering what so Sarawak about this pan mee? so did i..

turned out that the founder of Face 2 Face Noodle House was said to be the great grandchild of the founder of kolok mee. the great grandfather home made the noodles ala traditional manner, where the chef rides the bamboo log to knead the eggs, flour and other ingredient together. i think it’s all mechanized now.

in 2006, the founder decided to start a restaurant specializing in the local fare by combining this unique concept of making noodles, the traditional Sarawakian way, with Pan Mee.

he believes face to face contact is the most personally sincere and direct manner of communication, hence the name Face to Face Noodles House.you get to choose how you like your pan mee to be, i am thin noodle girl, you? but i’ll prefer pinch if i am having it at home.different spicy condiments to complement your noodle.Hot Honey Lemon | RM 3.60House Specialty Pan Mee (soup)Sarawak Laksa!!!

the broth was thick and tasty. it’s pretty authentic if my memory serves me well. but the sambal it served with wasn’t belacan sambal, unlike what i had in Sarawak. House Specialty Pan Mee (dry) | RM 7.30

chili flakes is totally optional. but i likey their chili flakes, fragrant and fiery.
my friends seemed to enjoy their pan mees, both dry and soup version.

people has been telling me, Mizi serves the BEEEEEST mushrrom soup! the last time i had one decent one was from De Title (which the post has gone T_T). and the most recent one was the diluted starchy one from Pizza Hut *boo*. so when my friends suggested to have dinner there on my birthday, i hurriedly nodded YESH!it’s a pretty cosy bistro. and when we were there, it’s packed to the brim. luckily my friends were there earlier hence managed to secure a seat! phew!the menu is a tad worn out. this means that so many people have been patronising their restaurant! which is a good thing right? each of us ordered a set meal which comprises a drink, a soup of your choice, main course ranging from pasta, poultry, seafood, egg, sandwiches, vegetarian to salad (salad as main course?) plus eat-all-you-can ice cream as dessert! all these for RM 25! berry reasonable RIGHT. or you can choose your main course from meat, Chef’s specialties or smoked salmon with an additional RM 6 charges.everyone of us ordered tea as drink. some had peach tea (like me) while others ordered lemon tea.we JUST HAD TO order their mushroom soup | RM 9 (a la carte price). and YESH it’s thick and creamy. and you can actually feel that there’s REAL mushroom in it. CY said that THIS, is the real mushroom soup.complimentary bread with cube butters. the bread was okay. i would prefer soften butter though. cos the harden ones were so hard to be spread on the bread =.=Spaghetti al Cozze | RM 16 (a la carte price)
SF & bf shared this, the other three of us tasted it and thought it’s pretty decent with some spiciness. it’s something like Spaghetti All’ Aragosta E Gamberithat i had in Bella Marino (which i have yet to repost). except this time was mussels instead of slipper lobsters.

five of us ordered four set meals. SF and her bf shared one as they just had late lunchy not long ago at Prangin Mall.Chicken Piccatta | RM 16.80 (a la carte price)
CY and I ordered the same main. the piece of chicken was dipped in barter made of egg and cheese and fried to perfection. it was served with greens and pasta. CY and i find that the herb flavour (we didn’t know what it was) was a tad overpowering. and the chicken slice was errrr, weird. it must be the herb! when i went through the menu again while drafting this post, it’s rosemary. it’s overly scented. =.=SR’s steamed fish, MY Dream | RM 16 (a la carte price). what a name haha! two slices of fish were served on a bed of sautéed spinach drown in cream sauce. it was a bit bland. but the fish was fresh! though i don’t remember what fish it was =.=

i will certainly come back again to try other dishes on the menu!

after lunchy at Wong Kok, we adjourned to Meet Fresh which’s located right below.Meet Fresh is a dessert chain specialises in traditional Taiwanese desserts. it has two outlets in Penang, one at Gurney Plaza and the other one is at Gurney Paragon. Meet Fresh vows to serve their customers the best and healthiest desserts.

"Meet Fresh’s name came about because we want our customers to ‘meet’ the ‘fresh’ and healthy desserts we have to offer which are made all natural and fresh ingredients and prepared with love and care."the two cartoon figure on the signboard are Mr and Mrs Fu, siblings who’s the brains behind Meet Fresh. desserts shown here are the bestsellers.Meet Fresh Signature Herb Jelly (Hot) | RM 6.90
it’s a hot dessert with herb jelly being the base and taro balls, honey bean, pearl and peanut hidden beneath.Meet Fresh Signature Herb Jelly (Cold) | RM 6.90
this is the cold version of the dessert above. the only different is, the taro balls are studded atop and drizzled with cream.

i prefer cold version over the hot one. correction, i like the cold herb jelly more.Q Mochi | RM 8.90
original vs brown sugar mochi served with desiccated coconutboth are equally chewy but black sugar’s more fragrant!Little taro Balls in White Gourd Tea with Cream | RM 5.90
i love the size of mini taro balls, so addictive i keep digging them out instead of sipping. the size is similar to those pearls. but it’s in purple and orange instead of boring black. this would be my favourite only if they use fluffy whipped cream!
