My dad read about this kopitiam on the newspaper and we went there for breakfast this morning. Unlce Lee Kopitiam is located in Taman Tun. If you're coming from PJ, take a right at the traffic lights after the Taman Tun Market...it's the second last shop on your left.


I ordered the Prawn Mee. Not bad. A little on the oily side because of the chicken and chilli oil. I prefer it to La Manila's Prawn Mee.

I didn't like the Fish and Chips. The fries were overdone and the fish wasn't fresh. It still had the river fishy smell :(

Their Chicken Chop was pretty yummy. The chicken was first fried and the gravy was poured over.

Overall, the food was ok. I'd go there again for the Prawn Mee. I wouldn't mind trying the Curry Mee and Yam Cake. I didn't like cold Teh Si though. The tea wasn't ready made so they made some on the spot and added ice to it. The ice melted really quick and tea didn't taste that good.

With so many bakeries popping up like mushrooms everywhere, it's hard to know which are the good ones. Nah, I was never into the the Rotiboy buns. I tried one when I came home in December and it was nothing to shout about. The buns have been sitting there for awhile and they weren't as good as I thought they would be.

Anyway, here's my pick for bakeries. My favorite bakery (so far) is Bread Talk. If I'm not mistaken, I think they're originally from Singapore.

They're known for their chicken floss buns. Their Hokkaido Dome is the only reason why I like this place. You gotta try it! It tastes so wonderful right out of the oven. Crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside :P~~~

Sorry, I was so busy eating it that I almost forgot to take a piccie of it. Here's what's left! LOL!
Oh yeah, they also sells a variety of cakes and breads. I don't know which are good because all I want to eat is the Hokkaido Dome every time I go there!!

Everytime I come home for a visit, I'll surely make a trip to my favorite Sang Har Min place. The restaurant is called Restoran Kow Siew (I'm serious. No kow siew, ok? LOL!). It's probably the owner's name. Anyway, it's located near the MPAJ building. I don't know the exact address but do ask if you want directions there.


They're only opened during lunch time and their specialty is Sang Har Min or Yin Yong. Here's the secret to ordering. You MUST add the dai tau har (big prawns) lor or else it'll just taste like any old yin yong. This portion is for two and we added two big prawns. Wahh...if you love seafood like I do, you'll love this! The gravy is practically oozing with kou and all the good stuff from the head.

Look at the difference between the small prawns used for regular yin yong compared to the big ones that were added in. Please excuse the messy plate!

muahahahahah...we really sapu finish the dish man!

What you should know:
1) They also serve yee min, fried beehon, and fried veggies.
2) Either go for early or later in the afternoon to beat the lunch crowd.
3) Food is on the pricey side if you order extra prawns. We ordered a normal yin yong for two, and the same thing but with the extra dai tau har, the total came up to about RM75. For drinks, we just had iced tea.

This is one of my favorite Nasi Kandar places in the Klang Valley area. Every time I come home to visit my family, we'll surely come to this place for lunch. This stall is located in the kopitiam beside of the Puchong Tesco, along the main road. If you're driving from old Klang road, it's the kopitiam on your right, before Tesco.

Personally, I think this place is way better and hygienic compared to Acha's in Taman Petaling. I think they (Acha) hardly ever change the oil for frying and it's PITCH BLACK (just like the wok they use)!!! I used to enjoy eating there but I think it's quite expensive. The quality of the food is not consistent. Most of the time, it's either too salty or too oily.

The food at this Nasi Kandar place is very reasonably priced. This is what I had: Rice, lots of veggies, curry fish tail, fried fish (yeah I love eating fish!) and a fried egg. The parents ordered quite a lot too. 3 person, 5 meats/fish, and tambah nasi/papadums for around $15 bucks, drinks not included. I think it's a sweet deal. My dad sort of knows the boss and he gives a discount. The only setback is that this place is quite a drive if you live in PJ.


Oh yeah, the owner has more TLC than other Nasi Kandar stores. I'm not sure if it's because he knows my dad but he always asks how much and where to put the curry gravy. Sometimes, I hate it when the Nasi Kandar man flood the rice with so much curry gravy and it's so frustrating to eat.

What to order har? The curry fish is the best followed by Fried Chicken.

If my memory serves me right, my family started frequenting this place since the 80s. The place is quite hidden and it's located in the housing area. There aren't any visible signs leading to this place. Besides having an appetite for seafood, you should also have a strong stomach and nose. This restaurant is located in a house (next to the owner's) and next to a big drain that smells like $#@*!!!!



This restaurant is known for their fried crabs.

They also have curry chicken but you have to know the boss personally and call a day ahead to order this! Bring a loaf of bread to eat with the curry chicken (not the gravy as it's very oily!)
Their Oh-Jian is ok. Goes well with the homemade chilli sauce.

This is one of my favorite. Steam Pomfret with Beehoon, teochew style. I eat the beehoon dry with the chilli sauce!! Very yummy!! :P~~~ (sorry the photo is not very clear)

Boon Tat also serves other kinds of seafood and some vegetables. The dishes I've mentioned are the most popular ones ordered by customers (except the curry chicken. That one you need connection lah!)

A fews things to know before going there.
1) The more the merrier
2) Be prepared to PAY $$$.
3) The owner and his staff mainly speak Hokkien and some Mandarin. If you speak Cantonese, you might kena slaughtered!!! LOL

Papa Kopitiam is located along the shoplots outside of the OUG Yaohan on Old Klang Road. This place is suppose to be well-known for their kopitiam style coffee, teas, and roti bakar(toast bread with butter and kaya). They also serve western breakfast and local fares like nasi lemak and curry mee.


I ordered the teh ais. It was ok.

Whatever you do, DON'T order the fish noodles. At first, I thought it was fish slices with Egg Noodles (cooked like the dry wanton noodles). Ugh! It was terrible! The Fried Beehoon with sambal was better.

This place is nothing to shout about. It's an ok place to hangout if you're bored of the crowded Starbucks, Coffee Bean or Kim Gary.

This morning, dad tapau (take out) roti canai for our breakfast. The food were from 2 Indian restaurants. One was Kavita from Taman Petaling and the other was from Raju on Jalan Gasing (near PJ La Salle School). If you go to Kavita, order the Curry Fish (especially the tail) and the dahl. Their roti canai is so so. If you go Raju, the roti canai is good (better compared to Kavita) but we don't like the dahl. The kurma chicken and chicken rendang are good.

After I dropped off my luggages at home, the parents and I headed to KL for brunch. We went to Imbi Palace. It's located near the Imbi Market. This restaurant also serves regular Chinese food but you can also order individual dim sum dishes. Check out their fish tanks! You can pick you seafood and they'll cook it to your liking.


Kam Pai Siu Yuk (Roast Pork). This is one of their specialities. This portion was a little on the salty side.

Hong Kong Style Fish Porridge. Very yummy!

Har Kow
Siu Mai

Steamed Yuee Mai/Fish Paste. It was a little on the bland side.

I'm not sure of the name of this dish. It's homemade tofu with choi sum and Japanese mushrooms. It's also the parents' favorite dish there.
Steamed Australian Mudcrab. Sounds yucky but it's not. It's steamed with egg whites and spring/green onion. Very yummy!
