Cooking Roti Tisu

 

Roti Tisu

 

Mee Goreng

 

Came with my cousin for a quick snack before dinner. From what I gathered, its open 24/7/365. Holy smokes! This place is so awesome, good food and opened ALL the time?! I wish there was something like that in Atlanta. But that Roti Tisu was interesting, really thin and had a sugar dusted crust. More of a sweet snack, perhaps would even consider a dessert.

Fried carrot cakes

 

XiaoLongBao (Shanghainese steamed bun with succulent minced pork

 

Tung Ball Yoke (Braised Pork Belly)

Chong Yiu Bang (Onion pancake)

 

Wor teep (Pan fried dumplings)

 

Tong yuen (glutinous rice balls with fillings)

 

A really fun dinner with a whole lot of relatives and family, not to mention the food was quiet nice! Highlights for me were the fried carrot cakes and the xiaolongbao. The chong yiu bang and wor teep will never compare to my uncle’s home made ones, but were not bad. 🙂

Jonker Sweets Dessert | Kuala Lumpur, Federal District Malaysia

Ice kachang

 

Hoong tau sah.(Red Bean Soup)

 

After some lunch, my cousin took me to go get some sweets inside the mall. They had Hoon Tau Sah!! My favorite!! A slightly sweet red bean soup that just hits the spot.  Not as good as the hawker stands in Kampar, but I still welcome multiple bowls of the stuff. 🙂

My turn. Quality Kopi and Curry Puff

 

After a long night out, the cousins and I decided it would be best to grab a nice breakfast before meeting up with the rest of the family/relatives. The Kopi (coffee), Kaya Toast, and Curry puff definitely hit the spot!

Street Hawker | Petaling Jaya, Selangor Malaysia

Outside hawker’s assembly line

 

You Tiao (yau char kway) – deep fried dough sticks; (as my cousin states, “…[it] goes well with porridge, bak kut teh or even kopi O”)

Outside Hawker – Rolling the dough with bottle

 

Ham Chim Peng with red bean paste filling

 

Right outside our time at Restoran Mee Yoke Lim there was a wonderful sound of crackling and this amazing aroma of fried goods. Without a second of hesitation, as a group we went to investigate. Fresh You Tiao and Ham Chim Peng?!?! Totally ended up buying some for the road. If I recall correctly, not many made it back to the house…

Parking can be difficult with so many businesses being around the area. We had to loop around a few times before finding one. Granted this was around lunch time. Good luck!

Char Kway Teow Cook

 

Wonton Mee Lady

 

Char Kway Teow; pan fried flat rice noodle with bean sprouts, egg, and tiny clams garnished with green scallions

 

Char Siew Kong Loh Mee; won ton noodles tossed in a special sauce served with bbq pork, yu choi, and some pickled peppers

 

Wonton Soup; combination of pork/shrimp wrapped in a silk like wrapper floating in some delicious chicken broth, garnished with boiled yu choi and green scallions

 

As I post this, it’s nearing dinner time here in the states and seeing/recalling all the amazingly delicious food is not helping the cause. lol. *ties belt tighter* But, my goodness, the food is simply amazing. The char kway teow has the right amount of flavor/seasoning and the wok hay was awesome! I wish restaurants here in the states could get that same heat seared taste. The char siew kong loh mee’s noodles were perfect with its slightly chewy texture and the flavors of the sauce were just right; Wonton’s were light yet savory and the wrappings were smooth as silk.

Also, as a quick heads-up of my family/relatives, we are extreme foodies. Although it was great to see family and friends….what we really were there to do (and don’t let them tell you any different) was for the food. lol. Once we finished that amazing meal above, we got up, walked around the corner to the next eatery and we got….

 

Chee Cheong Fun; Rice noodle, hoisin sauce, sesame seed, fried shallot

 

Har Mein (Prawn noodle); dual types of noodles mixed with bean sprouts, lean pork, kankong, and prawns sitting in a super flavorful prawn/seafood broth garnished with fried shallots, boiled egg, and dehydrated shrimp.

 

 

The chee cheong fun was delicate, the fried shallots gave it a nice textural contrast; finally the har mein’s broth was crazy prawn flavored! I think that’s the thing with all the hawker street food I had in Malaysia; all put strong emphasis behind a quality dish. No one held back on the spices or ingredients. Great moments of eating.
