My Lunch: Ah Wang Bah Kut Teh, Jalan Klang Lama

I used to have a few makan kakis in the same shift and we will go out to hunt for nice food when we were working on graveyard shift. This is another one of My Lunch series but it will be supper for all of you that work a normal shift.

It's quite hard to find nice Chinese tai chow during wee hours in the morning. Most closed before midnight not to mention we went for lunch at about 1 am or 2 am. When I go to know about Ah Wang Bah Kut Teh in Old Klang Road, I suggested to try it out with my nocturnal colleagues.

Finding this place is not too hard, it is at a make shift zinc roof shop along Old Klang Road towards Mid Valley side. It's just next to a overhead road and you'll see a sign that tells you to turn right to Taman Desa and Taman Bukit Desa at about 400m.

Parking is quite easy because at that time you can park anywhere but I see most people park under the overhead road.

At around 1.30 am not many customer but as the time goes by, more and more customers came to have supper there. People don't sleep in KL?

Table No. hung above the table instead of placed on the table.

We ordered. Pepper Pork stomach soup. It's nice to have this soup in a cool early morning.

Vinegar Braised Pork Trotters is a must have. It's very appetizing. My colleague always order this when we come here.

Have some vegetable with oyster sauce and fried chopped garlic to balance up the meaty fare.

Even though this place is called Ah Wang Bah Kut Teh but bah kut teh is not the one and only popular dish. Most customers come here for their steamed fish head dish. Which I will say that it is much better than the bah kut teh. We had Minced Ginger Steamed "Wan Yue" Fish Head (姜茸鲩鱼头). Yummy. The fish head is steamed just at the right timing and not over or under cooked.

Just last week my colleague and I went for the bah kut teh here and of course we ordered the Vinegar Braised Pork Trotters too.

My Lunch: Thai Stall in Restoran Jackson, Section 17, Petaling Jaya

There is one Thai stall that sells quite authentic Thai small fry in Restoran Jackson in Section 17, Petaling Jaya. There's a variety of fried rice that you can order from such as Thai fried rice, prawn fried rice, pineapple fried rice and etc. I suspect that the owner of this stall was once working for the Thai fried rice stall in Restoran Say Huat just opposite Restoran Jackson. I think that's why the quality of the Thai fried rice stall in Say Huat dropped.

The Thai stall in Jackson not only sells fried rice but also have a few Thai dishes like Thai style stir-fried pork rice, chicken feet mango salad, prawn mango salad, stir-fried petai with prawn rice, and a few more dishes that I don't remember.

Chicken feet mango salad.

The chicken feet mango salad is very nice. Just the right sourness. My favourite except for the fried rice is the Thai style stir-fried pork rice. The pork is stir-fried with a lot of Thai basil which make the dish very aromatic and appetizing.

I've try the stir-fried petai sotong rice which is very good too. This place is a good choice for a more affordable Thai affair is there's craving. Too bad I only come here on Sunday when I am working morning shift.

Maybe next time I come here I'll try something different. Do give it a try if you want to try affordable authentic Thai style small fry dishes.

My Lunch: Robert Fried Kueh Tiow, Section 17, Petaling Jaya

First of My Lunch series. This is short food post of the food that I eat during lunch time while I am working. As I work in the IT services industry and have to do swing shift, so sometime my lunch will also meant my supper. Also because this is my daily normal makan session so I don't bring out my digital camera, so most of the pictures in this series will be taken from my LG GW525's 3.0 Megapixel phone camera. Quality of the pictures is of course lower than my usual food post.

Okay. It was a Sunday afternoon (yes, my shift starts on Sunday instead of Monday, so there's no Monday's blue for me on the bright side), and it's time for lunch. On Sunday, as usual I'll drive to Section 17, Petaling Jaya for food. Section 17 is like a little food heaven with variety of nice foods. That day, I suddenly have a craving for Char Kueh Tiow.

No worries because one of the best Char Kueh Tiow in Klang Valley is at Restoran Say Huat. Robert's Char Kueh Tiow has been operating for a very long time in Klang Valley. Fried with enough "wok hei" the flat rice noodle is fried till dry which is more towards Penang style unlike the KL wet version. Using mid size prawn, which is quite fresh too. The prawn is bigger than other CKT stalls that I've patronned before but still no match of the huge prawn used in Lorong Selamat's CKT. Well, Lorong Selamat one cost me RM 6 while Robert's cost me RM 4.50 for a big portion.

There are the usual kao choi, taugeh, and blood cockles. There's also Chinese sausage, which most CKT in KL don't use. The taste is just like Penang but still lack a bit of thing that I can't really make out of. Nevertheless it's one of the best CKT that I've tasted in Klang Valley. Be in mind that the portion here is quite big, so for small eater it's better to order a small portion (RM 4) and share :p. Big eater order a plate of big size (RM 4.50) will do.
