Places to eat

We found a nice restaurant in Petaling Jaya serving a nice bowl of authentic mee pok. The place is called Tang Pin Kitchen. What is Mee pok? It is a simple bowl of flattened noodles, lightly flavoured and served with minced meat, chopped shallots and fried pork fat. A simple dish that also comes with a bowl of fish cake based soup and a few pieces of fish cakes, and a superb chilly sauce. Also popular are Yong Tau Foo based dishes, hainam chicken rice, bread rolls with kaya and butter, and hainanese frothy milk tea. Mmmmmmm... I still prefer a good cup of coffee.  The address and location of this restaurant are as below: Tang Pin Kitchen 24, Jalan SS 2/24, SS 2, 47300 Petaling Jaya, Selangor 03-7865 9958 https://maps.app.goo.gl/eVJLBorKNTwFJWho6

Prawn mee soup or locally known as 'Har mee' or 'Hokkien mee' in Penang, is a simple noodle served with hard boiled egg, prawns, slices of pork, fried onions, kale (kangkung) and bean sprouts (taugeh).

This is served with tofu puffs (taufu pok) that soaked up the tasty soup, prawns, bean sprouts, long beans and pig blood curd!! It is hard to find stalls that sti...
