They have since shifted from their little india location to the St James area, nested within St James Wine Bar & Bistro. It may be a little confusing for diners now as no signage can be seen. The place was pretty empty when we reached at 815pm. The place is a little dark as its more pub style inside but there were large screen tv screening soccer. There is live band on certain days apparently. The usual nostalgic decorations of antique items are still around. On top of that, there seems to be a steamboat option now, available from 6pm onward from Mon to Sat, and on Sun from 1pm onward. Anyway we gladly took a seat near it. Ordered the signature chix curry and tom yum spaghetti seafood. Both the signature dish standard did not disappoint. Though i wish the portion to be a little more. The bread went well with the curry gravy which is thick and flavorful. The pasta was on the spicy side and feels like dry version of a laksa. The bill adds up to be $43.20.

$5 Value for Money Smile Oct 01, 2013

Categories : Hawker Centre | Noodles

i was surprised with the $5 option i ordered from this stall. Uncle was nice enough to send it to my table as i was sitting just nearby. He also took the initiative to give me 2 small plates without me telling so, thumbsup for that! 1st impression wasn't good, i was wondering what are my ingredients, i only see the noodles and the fried pork lard bits. Little did i realized the goodies all all buried. Combined with the chilli, this semi moist version is perfect, mixed with the pork lard bits which ads to the the bite, this $5 is definitely worth the money.

Fish Belly's a Surprize Smile Oct 01, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Chinese Soup

First of all i must say i missed out taking photo of the samsui chicken, my bad. Came by with my family, 4 of us, ordered 1 normal set of chicken, Hometown Fried Fish Belly and potato leaves. Its my 1st time trying the fish belly and i must say i'm impressed, i think cooking the dish with scallion, green onion and red cut chilli really enhanced the flavour a lot. The fish belly taste just like fish meat with a bit of skin as well. Its probably fried beforehand then stir fry and thicken with sweet sauce. Its a perfect companion for plain rice. We chose the ah gong fan shu ye which is the spicy version and it was delightful as well, the potato leaves were the young skinny stalk type, though its clumped together, its really nice tasting. My total bill works out to be $63.44 for an early dinner at 430pm. This includes 4 bottomless chrysanthemum servings. The place is pretty empty at this time.

Claypot Mee Tai Bak Smile Sep 25, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Chinese | Rice

Decided to try this out after seeing the review on OpenRice. Its famous for a KL street food favorite - Claypot Mee Tai Bak. Priced economically at $4 and $4.50. The stall is located within tai Sun Eating House, new from recent renovations and a few new stalls to add. At the helm of the stall are 2 middle aged man, friendly in nature and always willing to strike up a conversation. They shared that they are probably the only one catering this unique dish which i totally agree. The stall front is also nicely decorated with LED and claypot display cabinet below the signage. The food was prepared right behind the stall front over strong flames and their specialty sauce. Ingredients were then added after its brought to bowl: prawns, one meatball, cabbage. When about to serve, a raw egg is also broken on top with lots of green onions as garnish. One interesting item added as well, minced pork with mushroom, more typically seen of those bak chor mee type but darker in color, braised long in a slow cooker. I love this kind of claypot presentation - piping hot food, perfect as a main course. The way to eat this dish is to stir it well and mixed it all up, allowing the temperature to cook up the raw egg. The style reminds me alot of our usual claypot noodles from ci char stall. Taste verdict - it was nice and easy on the bite, almost can just eat it with your sup soon without the chop sticks. But maybe i would prefer it heavier on the taste, more dark soy sauce perhaps? Also i would suggest to be more daring on the ingredients, yam, carrots, broccoli and seo bah are just some of the examples i like my claypot noodles with, perhaps these could also add another dimension to this mee tai bak variant. Not to worry too much about the pricing, the taste must be premium. I wouldn't mind paying u[ to $6 for this with more ingredients. With a bit of improvement, i think this stall will definitely do well.

Simple and Nice Smile Sep 19, 2013

First time trying this stall, tended my 2 young chaps with the mum sitting at the nearest table acting as cashier. Straight forward menu, chicken rice, ayam penyet and roti john. I ordered chicken rice and was prompted for the $3 or $4 version. I certainly did not regret the latter option, with a bigger piece of meat given and not rice. You help yourself to the utensils, chilli and dark sauce. The chicken rice is also served with a bowl of soup with lots of fried onions in it. tongue

The chicken rice taste fantastic, more specifically the chicken itself. It tasted freshly prepared and comes with slight crispy texture for the skin. The rice could be more enhanced with flavour though. The dark sauce on the other hand is not quite those suitable for chicken rice. Will certainly want to return and try their Ayam penyet next time.
