Hong Jiu Tea House and Restaurant

Funny thing about travelling is that sometime, you tend to crave for something really bad like a pregnant lady. Of course I never experience pregnancy before as I am biologically challenged.

When your brain goes haywire, it tends to make you believe that if you don’t consume it, you will die instantly. Yea.. that is how bad it is.. something like fish cannot survives without water.

Before I even enter Hong Ji Tea House and Restaurant, my big belly (physically, almost the same like pregnant lady) already helps me to register what I want to eat.

So, it doesn’t matter if the place is cozy, nicely decorated or filled with pretty girls during peak hour, all I want is my drugs to get me over with my addiction.

Dressed like a hippy, untidy hair like beggar, I desperately asked the waitress, “Do you have what I need?” She replied, “What do you need?”

Ops, I’m in a paranoia state that I totally forget to place my order and assumed she knows. She might thought this is a lame pick up line but disappointedly I asked for not her number but beef curry, black pepper and seafood noodles.

At points the cravings feel like having sex, once you have it, you are wanting for more. I did not resist that temptation as it helps in stress reduction, right? Ohh.. ok.. I guess I have that is too much detail for a young person like me.

Besides sex, the combination of siu yok and teh that is not tarik also gives the same effects. What are you thinking? I am talking about satisfaction over here. What turn me off is that I have to pay RMB 158 (~RM 80) for all these.

Quite a price to pay to ease my cravings isn’t it?

Wing Heong – The Best Char Siu, Siu Yok, Siu Kai Ever !

Few days ago, while dating my dreamgirl, all of the sudden the dream turned wild. I know what you are thinking. No..not turning into WET but it turned into terrified horror when I appear to be a victim of drought and famine.

Guess what, in a split second, char siu, siu yok and siu kai dropped from the sky like in the movie Meatballs. Maybe I watch too many movies but the point is, I woke up craving for all these siu siu siu rice.

Reality slapped me when I realized that I am in the middle of Chinaland. So, how to ease my craving? No choice but to flip back at all my photos and I found this place. This is the closest I can get.

Kedai Makanan Wing Heong is always the right choice. Not only it cans fill your stomach easily when you are there physically but it also can ease your cravings when you are not there! Don’t be surprise what you can get in this small hawker stalls.

Cockroaches? Unhygienic place? No no.. this place is surprisingly decent. I will not use the word clean but it is free from ‘uninvited’ small crawling creatures and at least my stomach did not reject the food after that.

Some people have no money to buy a decent food. In my case, I am not rich but I cannot get decent food now even I have some money. This place is definitely affordable. With only about RM 3.50 – RM 9, you can get a lifetime experience to eat the tastiest siu yok or siu kai or char siu freshly chop for you.. imagine that !

Seafood?? Unfortunately this is not a seafood place. Too bad..However, this place serves very delicious assamfish. I might be slightly bias when I said this but I prefer assamfish here as compare to Restoran Peng Heong Hakka Paikut.

On top of that, they also serve “dan tong”. That time, I tried the chicken “sayong choi tong”. Ok.. don’t be critical on me as I don’t know how to translate all these in English. Besides, even if you speak English to them, I doubt they will know.

Both the BBQ chicken and pork are my all favorite here. It is nicely cooked and the chicken is slightly soft and tendery. Not over cook of course as I can still taste the juicy pork. The roasted pork is a must try. The texture is good and I particularly love the crispy skins.

You can call me pork lover but I don’t think I can survive a day without pork. That is why my plan on becoming a vegetarian is just a wishful thinking and never materializes. Food is excellent, price is affordable except slightly warm and definitely worth to give it a try when you are around the vicinity.

Big Bowl Feast? Prosperity Pot? Poon Choi?

When comes to Chinese New Year, there are few things that are a must. Angpow for sure for young people like me, FOOD (I mean a lot of food) and gambling (I am still too young for this). I know many asked what about firecrackers, hamper, mandarins bla bla..

To cut the things short, firecrackers already banned here (too many finger injuries etc), hamper (I haven’t open mine yet) and mandarins (too common and don’t want to talk about it).

Only thing that left on my list is FOOD. Heard about Prosperity Pot before? or mostly known as Poon Choi? Or Big Bowl Feast? Whatever the name is, Prosperity Pot is normally prepared by lazy people that have no clue about varieties of dishes, so ended up mixing everything in one pot and walla, poon choi is ready! Haha.. I am just kidding for sure..!

Poon Choi is a traditional cuisine from Hong Kong village. It was believed that is was invented during the Song Dynasty and cooks it in such a way because of insufficient container. LOL. Ok enough of brief history lesson.

What I had recently was a Shanghainese Style Poon Choi in Dragon-i. Yea there are wide ranges of poon choi out there. Taiwanese Style, Cantonese Style, Hakka Style and bla bla bla. It is normally served in either chicken starchy sauce or clear soup.

Now comes the main ingredients. As you can see from the photo, it consists of big prawns, scallops, oysters, abalones, mussels, fat choy, broccoli, and some hidden ingredients such as chickens, white carrot etc. I might miss out a lot of other ingredient but those are the main ones.

This cuisine is normally best served for a table of 10 but the one that I had in Dragon-i just nice for 6 pax. How much is it and how does it taste? It costs about RM 388 per set. The poon choi tastes good and bad. Well, of course I am right when I said good and bad.

I like many of the ingredients but not all of it. I must say this dish is very special and I will not use delicious to describe but used AMAZING to describe it. It is hard to cook a single ingredient such as prawns, chicken, abalone etc. But combining all in one bowl and the taste needs to equally blend in all, I think it is impressive too. I love it personally.

If you haven’t try this before, you still have few days before CNY ends. Even if you miss it this time, don’t be upset as I am sure you still have many years to come. Try it and let me know how do you like it.

DK Tycoon Restaurant

Heard about DK before? DK = Donkey Kong used to be my favourite game when I am young (I am still young tho). The recent DK that I came across is in Tokyo Driff. Not Donkey Kong this time but is Driff King instead. Either Donkey Kong or Driff King has nothing to do with this post.. hehe ..

Today, I am going to introduce you to DK Tycoon Restaurant. DK = DucKing. This restaurant has been my favourite Friday lunch place for the past few months. What so special about this place? As you can see from the picture below, the appear in newspaper before and more importantly, they have discounts and offer most of the time :P

Recently, they have 50% discount on begger chicken for Public Bank Credit Card holder. Unfortunately, I am not one of it. So, if you have Public Bank Credit Card, let me know and I can eat with you :)

When I walk into this restaurant, it gives me a very “Grand” feeling due to high ceiling and classy lighting. The place is spacious that can handle wedding banquet or even company functions. As you can see, this place is non halal because they serve char siew – BBQ pork and siew yok – sauteed pork (my favourite) beside chicken and DUCK of course . That add to extra reason why I come to this place often.

Before you start ordering, you will be served with appetizer. This time is beancurd and long bean. The choices of appetizer will change from time to time. I tried peanuts, cucumber pickles, fried fish (I think) etc. The sambal here is very good and I love it so much. Because of this sambal, my friend called my chillies lover.

Normally I go for 4 combination or 2 combination lunch set. You can chose the type of meat you like. Erm.. maybe you will ask, you can get similar food by the roadside, why here? Simple answer to that is, you should try it and you will know. The char siu texture are soft and tender. The duck did not have a strong duck smells and taste good. Rather than explain about chicken and siu yok, you try them first and you tell me.

The 2 combination is about RM 10.80 and 4 combination is about RM 12.80. Pricy? I guess in this case I will say a little expensive but hey, you are in a big restaurant and grand environment. If this place is so expensive, I will not chose this place as regular Friday lunch place too right? Have a try on it first, I am sure you will not regret it.
