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.

Kopi House | Banting, Selangor Malaysia

Ang Ku Kueh (turtle cake); steamed glutinous rice flour cake with mung bean paste

 

Kopi Bing (Iced Coffee)

 

Kaya w/ Toast

 

My uncle picked us up from Kuala Lumpur airport (also known as KLIA) and immediately took us to a local Kopi House in Banting – located northwest of KLIA. I recalled consuming all these goodies the last time I came (4+ years ago) so, having these things again was when it truly felt like I had arrived to Malaysia. The next few posts will be Malaysia specific and I have to say, looking at all these photos is already making me want to go back..
