Best Satay in Kuala Lumpur: Queens Hotel, Cheras
I still remember the days when my parents brought me to this place when I was a kid. My parents would tell me how they dated in this little hotel converted restaurant in Cheras. The hotel’s name is Queens Hotel in Peel Road Cheras. The name still remains until today.

Indefinitely, Queens Hotel has been around for at least 30 years. One of their top stall is their satay stall. It is called Suhairi Majid satay. I remember my family would celebrate birthdays or …

Restoran Uncle Meng, Shamelin Best Roast Chicken and Char Siew
I bet many who works in Taman Shamelin already knew this place. There is no better place to have the best roast chicken or char siew in Shamelin rather than Restoran Uncle Meng.

Also known as Meng Kee, it has established itself in the neighbourhood for years.

Meng Kee operates only for lunch time and the stall is open from 11.00 am.

The Char Siew or Caramelized Roast Pork is one of the best in town.
Roast to perfection, the char siew here melts …

Ramly Burger Special Chili Padi at Pandan Jaya, Cheras
Last week, I found a new good Ramly Burger joint in Cheras. It is located at Jalan Pandan 3/6, see map below. It is just walking distance from the Pandan Jaya LRT station.

It looks like a typical Ramly burger stall, but it is not. To begin with, they are not using butter at all. Most Ramly burger stalls use butter for to toast the bun and to cook with burger patty.

Instead, they vegetable shortening. I almost mistaken it as mayonnaise but after …

Popular Wantan Mee (Noodle) in Restoran Meng Shiang, Taman Yulek, Cheras
It is one of the most popular wantan mee stalls in Cheras. It is located at Restoran Meng Shiang, Taman Yulek opposite another famous restaurant, Hau Kee Chinese Restaurant.

This stall is usually patronized by locals and it is usually open for lunch time only. Unlike the Singapore and Hong Kong version of wantan noodle, Kuala Lumpur’s version usually is dark in color due to thick caramelized soy sauce.

Although it is called the wantan noodle, the highlights of the dish mainly …

RM 2 Roast Chicken Rice, Cheapest in Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA
In bad times like this, it is hard to find cheap food around, especially in Kuala Lumpur. Luckily, I spotted something rather bizarre last week, RM 2 Roast Chicken Rice! RM 2 is around US 60 cents.

The story goes like this, last week I went to Taman Muda for my usual fix for my crave on BBQ Pork Ribs Wantan Noodle at Lam Kee. Upon passing by BHP petrol station, I spotted a banner that reads RM 2 chicken. I was …

How do you know that your parents support you in blogging?
They arranged restaurant for us to review! Seriously, my parents arrange this food review session for us. We’ve been to this restaurant a couple of times and we knew the owners very well. Located beside Hong Leong bank and opposite of Cheras Leisure Mall, Ahroy Thai Cuisine is one of the popular Thai restaurant in the neighbourhood. Serving authentic Thai food, most of the chefs there are Thais. Wonder what’s the double celebrations is all about? …

Sometimes lunch could be difficult. Eating the same old thing, again and again. At one of the lunches a few months ago, ex-colleague, Jarod brought up a brilliant idea.
Why don’t we have duck for lunch!
Trust me, anything else than mixed rice was fine to me.
The place is located at Taman Yulek, Cheras. The restaurant is called Restoran Tai Kee. It’s a food court type of restaurant.

The restaurant is at Lorong Durian.

We started off with the eggs with sauce.

Later on, we ordered the salted vegetables.

There’s one food season that’s well forgotten by most Malaysians. The Ramadhan season! During the Ramadhan fasting period, there are many Ramadhan food stalls in KL sell foods like ayam percik, murtabak and such. And only during Ramadhan, this food stalls had the permit to sell at the designated areas. I went to the Ramadhan food stalls in Pandan Jaya, Cheras lately.

It’s a one year once affair. No way I’m going to miss Ramadhan foods this time around.

Ayam percik!!

Ayam percik at RM 3.50 each. Geez, price increased this year. It …

Everyone knows the Taman Connaught stretch in Cheras is famous for their dim sum but I found another place. It’s located in Taman Yulek (same row with the post office). It’s not a new place and it’s quite popular also. Place is called Restoran Mexim Cheras, it has been there for quite some time.

Packed as usual, a casual and usual spot for the residents around. The last time I was there was years back.

Siew Mai…

Dim sum with sweet sauce…

Pork porridge…
In general, the dim sum was fresh and decent. This explains …
