Restoran BBQ Jalan Ipoh

I went there with my BIL for brunch. This restaurant is situated along Jalan Ipoh nearer to the Chow it area.  Along this row of shops are a few restaurants such as an old mamak restaurant which serves one of the best nasi biryani and another serving Bak Kut Teh. We decided to go to Restoran BBQ which is supposed to serve one of the best Wantan Noodles and also its roast pork. Parking around this area can be a bit tough so you will have to patiently look for one nearby. There were many cars parked along the busy Jalan Ipoh in front of the restaurant but it is risky as you might be issued a parking ticket by DBKL.
Anyway, as we were quite early, we sat ourselves in the air conditioned area and the guy immediately came and took our order. Within minutes, our food came and we began to tuck in.  We ordered three different dishes plus a side.  Prices here may be a bit higher than many other places but they pride themselves in their roasted meat and wantan noodles.  Its worth giving this place a try.

Pork Noodles in Kota Damansara

The restaurant I am referring to is Restoran DU Cafe in Kota Damansara. I have not been here for quite a while mainly because of the construction of the LRT line and heavy traffic. Parking can also be a hassle as I saw many cars double parked.
However, as I was in the vicinity today, I decided to give this place another try. I did a couple of rounds looking for parking and by chance, I found one on the next road so I did not have to walk far. I made my way to the restaurant and placed my order of the delicious pork noodles. I was quite a regular customer previously and the guy was happy to see me again after such a long time. Of all the pork noodles in PJ, I still prefer this stall.

There are two stalls that serve pork noodles. The one that I like is the first stall from the entrance next to the chicken rice stall. The other one further in serves a different kind of pork noodles that comes with two slices of pork sausage. The one that I like makes the noodles per serving which means that he boils the ingredients in the soup just enough for one bowl so you get really hot noodles. The stall opens from morning rill night and every bowl of noodles he whips up is fresh. Delicious.

Another BLR lunch at Sri Ahthyswary Curry House

I was yearning for BLR lunch today and I gathered a few of us to go to Sri Ahthyswary Curry House in old P. Jaya. Today, being a Sunday, I expected a smooth drive there but upon reaching Jalan Gasing, the traffic was horrendous. First, it was the festival of Songkran being celebrated at the Thai temple just off Jalan Gasing. Cars were parked by the side of the road thus making traffic to crawl at snail's pace.  After passing the temple area, traffic was smooth until just before reaching the roundabout and traffic was at stand-still again due to road works and pipe laying by SYABAS. Anyway, we finally reached the restaurant and we were all very hungry by then.
We went about ordering the sides and everything looked so good. Service was fast and we began to dig in to our BLR lunch.

I love coming here because there is ample parking and the food is tasty while the restaurant itself and kitchen is clean. There are a few other Indian restaurants in this vicinity such as Kavitas and so on but I still prefer this place. The address is No. 2 & 3, Jalan 5/44, Petaling Garden,, P. Jaya. Very happy with my lunch.

Finally got my Bonda

I had my first taste of Bonda at a vegetarian restaurant in Little India, Ipoh many years back when I was still working. I loved it and used to have it quite frequently for breakfast but since moving to KL, I couldn't find it at any of the places I go to. My friends told me that it was available in some restaurants in Brickfields but going there might prove to be quite a chore because of the traffic and searching for parking.
By chance yesterday, I had breakfast at Pandian in SS.3 (my favourite place) and spoke to Pandian about it and he promised to make it today since I requested for it. I went there this morning and sure enough, he had a tray of my favourite Bonda waiting for me. Without wasting time, I picked up a few of the Bonda, and happily began to tuck in. Wow!!! That sure was awesome.  I was told by Pandian that this is the first time he was serving it and will probably add this to his daily menu. Thats great as I will now be able to have this anytime when I'm at his place for breakfast that is provided the other customers don't finish them before I'm there.
