Opened Durian

 

Named “King of fruits,” this thoroughly thorn-husked fruit is not for beginner foodies by any means. With multiple species of the fruit, there are variants of flavor/texture/aromatics that people swear by; typically has a creamy custard-like texture that is accompanied by its sweet/rich flavor profiles. At least, this is how I see it; there are others that definitely do not share my views (meaning I don’t have to share my Durian 🙂 )

Look out for the durian fruit carts/shacks at certain locations when Durian season is prime (usually between June and September).

BEST Char Siu Mee I’ve ever had

 

Sui Gaw

 

The best char siu mee I’ve ever had. Yep, a bold statement. Recalled eating that bowl of bbq pork & noodles; each bite sent surges of pure happiness. It was a special meal shared with my dad and uncle.

Yu pien chow kiong choong- means.. stir fried sliced fish with ginger spring onion

 

After a fun trip to the city visiting the sights, met back up with the family/relatives for some dinner at The Magic Wok. Yu Pien (sliced stir fried fish) and the Kangkong belacan (stir fried water spinach with fermented shrimp paste) were my favorite. I feel you can’t go wrong with Kangkong belacan, at least I haven’t yet.

Mee Goreng

 

Came with my cousin for a quick snack before dinner. From what I gathered, its open 24/7/365. Holy smokes! This place is so awesome, good food and opened ALL the time?! I wish there was something like that in Atlanta. But that Roti Tisu was interesting, really thin and had a sugar dusted crust. More of a sweet snack, perhaps would even consider a dessert.

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.

Parking can be difficult with so many businesses being around the area. We had to loop around a few times before finding one. Granted this was around lunch time. Good luck!
