Places to eat

Bak kut teh is a pork dish in a flavourful broth. There are different versions but the one stall that keeps me going whenever I am craving for it, is the New Cheow Sang restaurant at Taman Mayang Jaya (Address: No. 3, Jalan SS26/6, Taman Mayang Jaya, 47301 Petaling Jaya, Selangor). A simple set that is satisfying and delicious. The broth here is light but is full of herbal aroma. I do not like the ones with heavy soya sauce that masks the herbal flavour. Deep fried fluffy taufu or taufu pok in Bak kut teh broth is one of our favourite side dish. Well liked by both children and adults. The yau char kwai is another favourite side dish especially for children, and tastes delicious when dipped in the Bak kut teh broth. However there will not be any available if you go there late. Other pork dishes are also available e.g. the chilly braised pork pictured above, and pepper pork stomach soup (especially good when you feel bloated and to get rid of stomach wind) a

Although I have been to many other stalls selling pork noodles, I will always return to this stall at New Seaview Restaurant, Petaling Jaya (Address: 81-129, Jalan 20/7, Paramount Garden, 46300 Petaling Jaya, Selangor). Now both father and son prepare the noodles at two adjoining stoves. This has shorten the wait time tremendously. It took ten minutes of waiting before our noodles were ready. The soup is savoury but not overpowering , and the minced meat and pork intestines and liver are often prepared well. I like the loh see fun whereas my wife likes the mee sua noodles. Give it a try.

Do you want to enjoy your soya milk or soya bean curd or even soya bean ice cream in a fancierkind of setting? If yes, give Dao a try. They just opened a branch at Damansara Jaya, Petaling Jaya (Address: 21, Jalan SS 22/19, Damansara Utama, 47400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor). Their portions are generous, and the whole environment feels comfortable and clean. The taste? Quite good, actually. We had warm soya bean curd in brown sugar and soya milk. It is also opened until 10pm so if you crave for soya milk at night, why not give this place a try.
