Subang Jaya SS15 fish ball and Yong Tau Foo noodles

Saturday, July 11, 2009

One of my favourite breakfast outlets is the fish ball and Yong Tau Foo noodles shop at SS15 Subang Jaya. This is one shop specialises in fish balls and Yong Tau Foo only. According to the signboard the business started since 1982.

The fish balls sold here do not contain the usual chemical and are tender and tasty to bite. I also like the Tau Pok stuffed with fish paste. There are also other Yong Tau Foo such as green chilli, fish cake foo chok, meat balls, beef tendon balls, fried foo chok etc which are all nice to eat.

If you have your noodles prepared in soup style then all your selected Yong Tau Foo will be mixed with noodle in the soup. Otherwise they will be prepared in a bowl of clear soup which contains some Tung Choy to go with the dry style noodles.

The clear soup with Tung Choy tasted okay to me and I will normally finish it to last drop. Our recent trip to the shop for breakfast cost RM27.60 for 3 person inclusive of drinks.

My best steamboat restaurant

Tuesday, July 7, 2009

Though it would set me back for quite a lot of money for each outing, this Ketam Village Steamboat restaurant, located at P1 level in Ikano remains firmly as my favourite for steamboat meals.

Needless to say, the servings are fresh with good variety of appetising items. The shop is inside Ikano so you will feel comfortable for having steamy hot steamboat meals in an air-conditioned environment.

Each dinner has his own steamboat pot positioned in front of him and patrons can either choose to order individual steamboat servings or a combo set. This individual serving style is a good idea as there is no need of lengthy discussion and sometimes even argument on what to order in a typical share all steamboat restaurant.

Be prepared to go there early as the place will always be fully packed with dinners especially during weekend evenings. We had to wait for a good 25 minutes before a table was finally freed up at about 8.30 pm.

It cost us about RM80.00 for 3 individual sets during our visit there last week.

Pricey food court near PLUS highway

Monday, July 6, 2009

When I was on a working trip to Singapore last week by bus, the bus made a stop at a food court just after exit toll plaza at Yong Peng.

In a way the express bus has detoured to a private food court outside the highway. Surprisingly I could see there are actually two food courts located at a short distance on the right hand side just after exiting Yong Peng toll Plaza.

The express bus stopped at the second food court to allow the passengers to have a short break. It was about 5pm. The bus has departed from KL at 1.30pm earlier.

There were several stalls selling the usual hawker foods such as claypot noodles, prawn noodle, wan ton noodles, cut fruits and etc.

I have to pay RM6.00 for a bowl of fish ball noodles, with 7 nos. small fish balls, some purple veggie and some lettuce in it. I also have to pay RM1.80 for a black coffee which I only pay RM1.20 in some coffee shops in PJ/KL. I saw the price of cut fruits here are RM2.00 per piece. On my way back I saw it was only RM1.00 per piece in a stall in KL Sentral.

Although the fish balls tasted reasonably okay but I considered the price of food here unbelievably much higher than the usual rest area food stalls along the highway.
