Clan Restaurant Modern European Cuisine Summer Menu Set Dinner

Clan-Restaurant-Modern-European-Cuisine

I was invited to taste the 6 course modern European set dinner menu by The Clan Restaurant at Pomo Mall at Selegie Road in Singapore. It was a scrumptious meal, made with premium ingredients, well executed, professionally served by attentive staff in a comfortable, well appointed restaurant. In my opinion, the price S$78++ is good value for what we are getting. (Available from 1 Jul 2016.)

Stumbled upon this scene and loud signboard while combing the gritty streets of Pudu KL for good food. When in KL, I like to come to Pudu because it is like the old Chinatown of Singapore.

Boneless-BBQ-Sambal-Stingray-999-Ikan-Bakar-BR-Permas-Jaya-Johor-Bahru-新国花铁板烧鱼

Stumbled upon this really good ikan bakar stall today at BR 新国花 coffee shop in Permas Jaya. I've been here at BR coffee shop a few times before but somehow missed this 999 Ikan Bakar stall. It's one of my favourite ikan bakar stalls in Malaysia and Singapore now. For lucky JB folks, this brilliant stall in Permas Jaya is so accessible 😄

百万镇新国花 999 铁板烧鱼好特别. 新鲜魔鬼鱼, 起骨又脱皮. 烤到半熟以后, 加上辣辣的 sambal. 煮熟以后, 有清新的香, 又辣又酸又甜. 好好吃. 朋友们可以试试. Jalan Permas 10/5 和 Permas 10/6 交接.

Thank-U-Mom-Korean-Baked-Chicken-Johor-Bahru Bukit-Indah

I wasn't expecting much from trendy fads and franchise food but the Korean style baked chicken at Thank U Mom just blew my mind. It's one of the best baked chicken that I've tried so far.

Thank U Mom 的多汁,鲜嫩,美味的韩式烤鸡肉真的让我兴奋。新山 Bukit Indah 是世界上, 韩国以外唯一的地方, 可以试试这个韩国著名品牌。比一般稍貴,但好吃, 应该有长龙。Jalan Bukit Indah 15/2 AEON Jusco 对面 一定要试试

Bazar Ramadan Jalan Badik 21, Taman Puteri Wangsa, Ulu Tiram

Bazar-Ramadan-Jalan-Badik-21-Taman-Puteri-Wangsa-Ulu-Tiram

During the Muslim Holy Month, Bazar Ramadan are set up all over Malaysia, in every corner of the country. There are large ones with over a hundred stalls that attract even tourists to come and try traditional local dishes. There are also smaller bazaars with just one or two rows of stalls serving the local community living near the bazaar.

Today, I was at the Bazar Ramadan at Jalan Badik 21, Taman Puteri Wangsa, Ulu Tiram which is some 15km north of Johor Bahru.

Small and intimate bazaars can be a lot of fun too. Let's see what they have here.


Wanton Noodle at Puteri Wangsa Mei Wang Coffeeshop 旺旺美食中心榮記雲吞面 JK1521

Wanton-Noodle-Puteri-Wangsa-Mei-Wang-Coffeeshop-旺旺美食中心榮記雲吞面

Stumbled upon this little wanton mee stall at Jalan Beladau 15 in Taman Puteri Wangsa. If you are in the area which is bustling with numerous eateries, this wanton mee stall is worth a try.

如果你在 Puteri Wangsa,可以试试旺旺美食中心的荣记雲吞面摊。 全蛋面弹性,酱有猪油,鸡爪, 叉烧和云吞都做得好猪肉咖喱面也不错。分量大, 价格公道了。Jalan Beladau 15.

Samy Bak Kut Teh in Port Klang, Pandamaran • Lai Hing Sam Mei 三美肉骨茶

Lai-Hing-Sam-Mei-Bak-Kut-Teh-Port-Klang-Pandamaran-三美肉骨茶

Actually, we were already done for the day's heavy bout of food hunting and our stomachs were full when we passed by Lai Hing bak kut teh (which locals know as Sam Mei 三美). I've not seen a bak kut teh shop so crowded before (other than Johor's Kiang Kee 强记).

Full as we were, with a crowd like this. we just couldn't leave Port Klang without trying Sam Mei 三美 bak kut teh.

Yong Peng Fish Balls at Bebola Ikan Anthony

If you are a fish ball lover, every time you drive pass Yong Peng town along Malaysia's North South Expressway, I suggest you make a stop at Bebola Ikan Anthony for their hand made ikan parang fish balls.

Ramadan-Bazar-Kuala-Lumpur-Bangsar-Telawi-4

Visited the Ramadan Bazar at Bangsar, Jalan Telawi 4 this evening which is one of my old haunts. I used to come to the Sunday pasar malam here, and of course, the Ramadan bazar during the Muslim holy month.

Mo Sang Kor Bak Kut Teh Legend of Klang 毛山稿肉骨茶

Mo_Sang_Kor_Bak_Kut_Teh_Klang_毛山稿肉骨茶

It has to happen. I must make a pilgrimage to the flag bearers of Klang style bak kut teh -  one of them is Mo Sang Kor. The premier bak kut teh shop has outlets at Taman Berkerley and Pandamaran. We opted for the old parent stall shack at Pandamaran. (Update: They have only two modern shops now - this parent stall is no longer in operation. This post was written based on the parent stall which is a road side shack.)

When I was food hunting in Taman Berkerley, the old residential district in Klang has changed beyond recognition. The once laid back enclave is now a thriving food hub popular with locals and KLites.

Curry Sah Hor Fun at Kee Kim Huat Coffee Shop in Johor Bahru 成记咖哩河粉 JK1507

Curry-Sah-Hor-Fun-Kee-Kim-Huat-Coffee-Shop-成记咖哩河粉

Sah Hor Fun 沙河粉 is a flat rice ribbon noodle originally from the Shahe 沙河 region of Guangzhou, China. I think people from Shahe would never imagine what happened to their staple food when it came to Malaysia. The versatile Sah Hor Fun rice noodle is eaten in many ways - stir fried, served in soup, and in a uniquely Malaysian fusion - bathed in a flood of spicy chicken curry.

It's all about the Handmade Fish Balls - Ah Hua at Johor Bahru Sri Tebrau Food Centre 亚华手工鱼丸 JK1505

Ah-Hua-Handmade-Fish-Balls-亚华手工鱼丸

After stumbling upon Ah Hua in Stulang Laut and enjoyed their fish ball noodles back in 2012, Ah Hua moved and I lost track of the stall ever since. So, I was really glad that buddy MC Kee mentioned to me that Ah Hua is now located at Sri Tebrau Hawker Centre. I quickly made my way down to Ah Hua for that long lost feeling of tasting their famed hand made fish balls.
