知粥满意 @ Cheras

I was confused when arrived at this place. Got 2 restaurants, almost similar but separated by another shop in between. At first, I thought they just moved from the corner shop lot (which is closed on the day) into smaller shop lot (newly renovated). Later, I heard the new shop is operated by the wife. The husband still operate the old shop aka Mr Claypot. Sounds peculiar, right? Ok, don't ask me why.

We ordered Clay Pot rice and some Teow Chew dishes. Is that too much for 5 of us (2 of which are children)? I find the Teow Chew dishes are just average, in fact a bit salty to eat with Clay Pot rice. My mistake.

On the other hand, the Clay Pot rice is nice. Tops with small anchovies and salted fish, it really bring the overall aroma a notch up.

Perhaps on the next trip, I would try Mr Claypot and make a comparison.

Pontian Wanton Noodles @ SS15

Most popular handmade wanton noodles from Pontian, Johor? I don't know that for sure. But I do know they have a branch near SS15, Subang Jaya.

Backed with 60 years of experience of making Wanton noodles, the shop claims the noodles won't get soften even for the take away order and they are selling >1000 bowls a day (all Malaysia branches combined). Anyway, I still prefer to eat in whenever is possible.

The combination of the noodles texture/softness and soya sauce are perfect. It tastes so wonderful. Highly recommended!

Ba Kut Teh Again?

I think I am hooked to Ba Kut Teh.

This time we managed to try 2 BKT. One in Klang and another one in Puchong.

First, we go to our favourite Teluk Pulai (Branch) BKT in Taman Intan. To our surprise, they also serve Dried BKT now. I think this is what the competition is all about, you just need to look into markets need. Somehow their version of Dried BKT just below average. Still prefer their famous BKT in soup.

Day 2, we went to Puchong to try Yap Chuan BKT. I heard they are famous for Dried BKT. Indeed, their Dried BKT is far better than Teluk Pulai. The black soya, dried chillies and dried cuttlefish flavours just blended nicely in the clay pot. No doubt so many celebrities visited this place.

Phad Thai Restaurant, Taipan USJ

Phad Thai restaurant serves authentic Thai food. Found out this place from a food blog. We managed to get a table without fuss. After 10 minutes, out of sudden the restaurant was packed with people.

To our surprise, they served the Thab Thim Krob (dessert) first. As usual, I like the dessert so much, just the ice a bit coarse. It would be perfect if they made the ice finer.

We also like the Green Curry Chicken, Pandan Chicken & Pineapple Rice. It tastes just great. Next visit, I would definitely try the Tom Yam Kung.
