Restoran Boston Baru @ Kapar, Klang

The mention of Boston restaurant to any Klangnite, it should somehow ring the bell. For patrons that looks for good tasting food, not cost you a hole in your pocket, and doesn't mind the environment, this is The restaurant for you.

Important to note, its either you come before they open their restaurant, so that you can be in queue to be their first round of customers... else, be prepared for probably the longest wait for your food to be served. Waiting time exceeding 1 hour is common, and you are lucky if it doesn't exceed 2. 

Despite it all, I still feel the food is worth all the hassle. 

Queue starts 6pm+ 

A common sight 

When they open their door, all those in queue will go around to get their seat, either inside the restaurants, on the pavement across the road, or along the front door of the shoplots (as they close for business). Those who comes after all seats are taken has to be prepared for the longest wait for their food and queue numbers will be given out. All those seated inside will get priority to order. 

I had meal here, probably more than 10 times, and it should have been more if not for the waiting time that most people dread or skip. 

They have a few must orders and their fried noodle does taste above par. 

We ordered their Tapioca Noodles which is made from tapioca starch. The taste of the noodle surely carried the 'wok hei', and love to the see this translucent noodle.They also use pork lard which was so crunchy and tasty and the noodle was perfectly cooked, with the right chewiness. 

Tapioca Noodle. Price-RM6

We ordered the large steam la la.I like how their lala was of the right size, with flesh in every shell. The chinese wine, bird eye chilli and lots of ginger used to steam the lala definitely gave the kick to our tastebud. The fried garlic that topped it was so crunchy and lend a strong aroma to the delicious plate of steamed lala. 

Steam Lala. Price-RM24

I love this cereal mantis shrimp by Boston. The size of the mantis shrimp was just nice, despite that some that were missing solid flesh, however, for those that you can, it has ample flesh for biting. 

The cereal cooked together with egg has a distinctive smell of butter which was divine. It was fried so perfectly that each cereal was so crunchy, sweet, tasty and we almost finish all parts of the crumbs. 

Mantis Shrimp. Price-RM16

 As we end the dinner, all seats are fully occupied, and new line of queue was in place. 

Another common sight 

A day later, I was already craving for the same food, and the food experience indeed lingered in my mind. With proper time planning, cutting on waiting time is indeed achievable. 

Verdict : 
A meal that costed only RM50 was highly satisfactory to us. For the quality and price of food, I would willingly compromise with the long waiting time.

Char Kuey Teow Jalan Batai @ Klang

The news of shoplots at Jalan Batai has to be closed to give way to new development has certainly draw some disappointment especially towards the office workers that frequent the coffee shops here. There were quite a handful of famous stalls which includes fish head meehoon, wan tan mee, and this char kuey teow. 

After reading news that it has now moved to Klang, I made my way there. There was a slight battle between the angel and devil in me, as I was having a sore throat, which may not be a good idea to have fried kuey teow. But my craving somehow took over.

Made up by first ordering their self boiled longan drink to soothe my throat. I must say this tasted really good, much stronger taste of longan as compared to what I've had before.

Loh Hon Kor drink. Price-RM1.80

The fried kuey teow aroma was apparent once the plate landed on the table. Each bite was filled with 'wok hei' giving it enough kick to the entire taste. The noodle was clearly separated, as I don't like those sticking together. At times it amazes me, similar ingredients used, such as beansprouts, scallion, cockles, egg which are used by most cook, but theirs taste especially good. They also gave very generous 2 big prawns. Yumms yumms!  Overall not too oily, just right I must say.
They managed to fry it so well that every part of the food on the plate has taste to it, that they don't miss any tiny part.  
 

Fried Kuey Teow. Price-RM5

One has to factor in that they will have to eat withstanding the hot and humid weather despite that the row of food court is sheltered, however, the taste of this yummy plate of kuey teow makes up for it.

Restoran Hou Moon @ Klang

Being a KlangNite, I have lost count of the number of times that I had my lunch in Hou Moon. This restaurant is located near to Pin Hwa school. 

Hou Moon occupies 2 shoplots, and from the outside, one wouldn't be able to see how crowded it is. Honestly speaking, their volume of business used to be many folds more than current, where it was a usual scene to have people around your table waiting for their seat, however, this sight is not seen for its current state of business. 

The entirely dark window that occupies 2 shoplots

Once you enter its door, you will see a simple and very basic interior, filled with lots of tables, for one to catch up over meals. I would reckon this is how a typical Chinese restaurant would look. 

The basics of its interior

With the variety of food offered, and their air-conditoned environment, we would still opt to have our lunch here. 

We always enjoyed ordering their soya bean drink, sealed in glass bottle for sharing. It has a very natural taste, and not too diluted, and right level of sweetness. 

Soya Bean. Price-RM4.50

As the starter of our meal, we order their char siu, and somehow it looks better than it taste. It has the right level of fats within each piece, and being roasted to carry the crispness by the sides, however, the overall texture is way to hard, to our liking. 

Roast Pork. Price-RM15

We ordered the 'Four Heavenly King' vegetables, which usually means the combinations of 4 types of greens, which usually combined petai, but what was presented to us was just 2 types of vegetables ie. the long bean and brinjal. 

This plate of vegetable was tasty, fragrant, with it being fried with dried shrimp. I would have liked this better if it wasn't this oily, and if the long bean was not this hard. 

'Four Heavenly' Vegetables. Price-RM15

We ordered the salted egg yolk mantis shrimp. The mantis shrimp meat was in good size, and they tasted decent, but lacks the taste of salted egg yolk. 

Mantis Shrimp with Salted Egg Yolk. Price-RM16

Restoran Hou Moon is famed for their fish head, which popular method of cooking are the ginger or asam (carries some hot and spicy taste) steam. 

The fish was undeniably fresh, with firm texture felt. Generous use of ginger which was really fragrant. Overall take on this, slightly disappointing on the taste part, as it tasted rather bland. 

Ginger Steam Fish. Price-RM16

My experience on this particular day wasn't one that wouldn't help if I were to recommend this place to another person. It was perhaps the quality of chef that has changed, but some improvement would definitely lend a big help, should they dream to see their glory days in the past, to come to realization again.

Nando's @ AEON Bandar Bukit Tinggi, Klang

My No 1 favorite fast food ought to be Nando's. It has popped to my mind many times in the past on why don't we have Nando's in AEON Bukit Tinggi. It was a good news to me when the change of tenant took place in Dec 2014 where this lot was taken over by Nando's. 

Amongst all fast food chain, the interior of Nando's is one that is most pleasing to my eyes, I like the colors used, with the warm lighting, and all that represent the origin of the brand, 

 

The grand entrance to Nando's 

Always busy - Nando's

Many art pieces used on the vibrant color wall 

One of the main selling point of Nando's is the extremely yummy chilli sauces that they offer. Seriously, the taste of the sauces alleviate the overall taste of the grilled chicken, which its already so satisfying.

Customers are welcomed to take their sauces

My absolute favorite sauce is the Garlic Peri-Peri flavor. It has the tanginess that truly open up my appetite. Its almost like, the more I take, the more I want. I love just the right level of spiciness that fits me just nice.

Our selection of sauces 

For sharing, we ordered their Full Platter, that comes with whole chicken, and sides, with the option of either 1 large size or 2 regular size sides and 2 bottomless drink. 

First thing first, we need to make a decision on our Peri Peri Chicken flavor. There are the options of Lemon & Herb, Mild, Hot and Extra Hot. I have always took the Lemon & Herb option, with just the right level of 'heat', as Nando's call it. 

As they explained, all their chicken came in some form of marination, thus customers may definitely get to taste some spices within, even the option is for a 'plain' taste chicken, ie, not the Hot Peri-Peri. 

I truly appreciate the existence of Nando's, where they marinate for 24 hours with their secret sauce, that ensure its sipped right into the bone. Upon which, they are flame grilled, using the various Peri-Peri sauce. And I do agree with Nando's, the result is Ultimate PERIfection! 

Meal Platter. Price-RM55

The Nando's chicken has each time fulfilled my craving for chicken, and not just any chicken, but good, tasty, high quality chicken. The skin that carried slight burned effect from grilling tasted ever so perfect, and each part of the chicken was just so tasty. Of course, with each bite, I would dip it with my favorite Garlic Peri-Peri sauce.

A dish I would say yes to, anytime

For the sides, we opted for the chips and garlic bread. I like the thick texture of chips, and the garlic bread was crispy on the edges.

It was only during this dinner, I discovered about the Peri-Vilege, where you download a phone apps called 'Peri-Vilege' which enable you to claim free meals from Nando's. It rewards you upon visiting Nando's after every 3 times. Simply, this is how it works - each time upon ordering, show the staff your Peri-Vilege ID, and they will reward you your 'chilly'. Get your chillies for 3 times, and during the 4th visit, you will get to claim a 1/4 chicken for free, the following 3 times, do the same, and you will get to claim a 1/2 chicken for free, and the last cycle, you will get to redeem 1 whole chicken for free. Wow, total reward worth RM75.70. Upon being bombarded by so many different loyalty programs, this is by far, one of a truly good way to retain and reward some loyal customers like me.

Peri-Villege

It is no surprise that majority of Nando's outlets are filled with so many customers, contributed by its winner chicken recipe.

Restoran Angcle Peoh @ Bukit Tinggi 2, Klang

As a Klangnite myself, I was happy at time we saw renovation taking place by Angcle Peoh, during end Mar 2014. First thing mainly because we don't really have many choices when comes to meeting our craving for Asam Laksa, and especially in air conditioned environment. Second, its because the origin of this shop is from the ever famous Asam Laksa in Ayer Itam, Penang.

Almost entering one year of business, I have frequented many times to Angcle Peoh, and I see the business has been consistently good.

Its like a little tongue twisting test put to us when wanting to pronounce 'Angcle', which pronounced as 'Uncle'. 'Ang' is the surname of the owner, and 'Cle' is a short form to Uncle, thus the combination.

Angcle Peoh has sufficient varieties offered, if you decide to not have their famous Asam Laksa.

As a starter, their rojak is a must order, mainly due to its yummy rojak sauce with just the right thickness, and generous amount of peanut. 

Rojak. Price-RM6

My kawan was really hungry, and decided to opt for extra noodle for the Asam Laksa. We thought it was really worth it, as by paying RM8.90, we have this yummylicious bowl of Asam Laksa.

Asam Laksa. Normal Price-RM6.90 (we added noodle, for an extra RM2)

We had to be very careful when mixing the bowl of Asam Laksa, so that it doesn't spill out. It has generous amount of vege, cucumber, onion, prawn paste. The broth of this Asam Laksa was just nice, with the right amount of sourness to raise our appetite. Not sure why, but Asam Laksa has never failed to make me salivate. However, I wish there were more amount of fish included in our bowl of Asam Laksa.

Asam Laksa

My very cheery friend, Connie, about to savor the bowl of Asam Laksa

The fried kuey teow tasted really yummy. Enough 'wok hei', used to describe Chinese style of cooking that uses high flame over a seasoned wok, while the food is being stirred and tossed..  This plate of fried kuey teow consist of cockles, bean sprouts, prawns, which unfortunately, during this visit, was a tad soft, which doesn't taste quite fresh. However, it isn't too bad.
The duck egg, which is available at RM2 extra from the normal chicken egg, and the pork lard used, does add more fragrant to the overall taste of the noodle.

Fried Kuey Teow with Duck Egg. Price-RM8.90

The slight disappointment to our lunch was the order of Prawn Mee. Not sure if their version is meant to be this oily, but the over excessive oil that was visible on top of this bowl of Prawn Mee does turned me off a little. The soup broth was too salty, and doesn't have much taste and smell of prawn that is expected of a bowl of Prawn Mee.

Prawn Mee. Price-RM6.90

On the wall, is the history of how Angcle Peoh business origins. It started by Uncle Peoh's mother way back in 1953. Interesting.

Always crowded during lunch

Fang Xiang Bah Ku Teh @ Setia Alam, Shah Alam

The 3 of us were seated at Pappa Rich, Setia Alam this morning, when Ryan posted to Cass and I, why don't we bring Cass to eat Bah Ku Teh, since we are so nearby Klang.. After looking at each other for few seconds, we decided, yea, why not... So Ryan politely informed the staff that we are leaving to eat Bah Ku Teh, and he will make it up with future visits to Pappa Rich.. Haha..

Ryan suggested this Bah Ku Teh place at Setia Alam, which I've never heard of. This part of the shoplots (not same area as Pappa Rich/Old Town) is relatively new, with not many shop lots occupied. He recommended this place as she thinks is quite good..

So here we are :

Fang Xiang Bah Ku Teh

We were asked if we want to take this special part of the pork, which we agreed to, when we were told, this part of the meat isn't too fat... Cass & I were presented a bowl each of this special pork, which I later found out its the waist part of the pork (apparently it isn't easy to slice this part of the pork). Just by looking at it, it spells the word 'tender meat' to me.. and true enough, it indeed was, and just loved the whole part of meat, which comes in form of almost neat layers... Most importantly, the fat part was just nice for me.
The bah ku teh soup is unlike the usual, as it doesn't has the strong herbal aroma that bah ku teh usually carry, and this, comes in a form, which tasted more like thick gravy from stew pork.

Special Pork. Price-RM12

Mr Ryan, being the gentleman, did the serving..To make him happy, we complied. Haha..

Dai Kuat (big bone) that Ryan had

Fang Xiang combines 'Xiang' which means fragrant, whilst 'Fang' was taken from the lady boss name, which also represents 'Se Fang Fat Tat'.. The lady boss is a pretty young gal, which wanted to be different (she ought to be the 1st lady owner of bah ku teh pottery, and especially since, she is young - only in her mid 20s).

Each pot of bah ku teh is cooked personally by her brother, as it is very important for them to maintain the 'fo hau' (the right heat to cook).

There is also option the more soupy version which comes in claypot, and they will soon introduce more dishes, namely signature prawn, and their homemade taufoo. As it is, they have added dim sum which is also made by themselves, to their list of offerings.

Wa, so much info I digested over brunch today... and the good news is, they will open another outlet at Bandar Bukit Tinggi 2, by mid Oct... I can head there then.

Da Tuan Yuan @ Bandar Baru Klang

For a change, the birthday celebration of the gang took place in Klang... This is in celebration to the early year baby, Sally...

We had our lunch at Da Tuan Yuan... All the food that we ordered tasted aweeee-some...

The assam fish head, was so absolutely tasty.. yumm.. yumm.. the slight sourish and spiciness of the tom yam, makes you wanting for more... The flesh of the fish was so fresh, and had texture that was just so firm. Absolute must order dish!

Assam fish head

The lady boss recommended the marmite octopus.. This is a snack dish, where the octopus was fried till real crunchy, and then, fried together with marmite.. Nice...

Marmite fried octopus

Gosh, suddenly I forgot what this vege is called, after eating for soo many times...'Guai Dau Miu'.??
Just stir fried is good enough to bring out the natural taste of the vege.... Crunchy too..



The salted egg mantis shrimp definitely makes you wanting for more.. The salted egg can be tasted throughout every bite, and it was so crunchy as well....

Mantis Shrimp with salted egg

The total bill came up to around RM87, not too bad for it is inclusive for the big fish head we had.. Hehe.

Restoran Bubur Goreng @ Taman Berkeley, Klang

Have heard much about fried porridge in Klang... Just by hearing 'fried porridge', it gave me such mixed feelings... It's something so different, makes me really wanna try this, yet, can't imagine how porridge will taste like, being fried.

Was there weeks ago, and all their dishes are prepared in 1 size only... thus, for those who came with only 2 pax, there may be a little disadvantage, as they would probably be so full after just 1 bowl of fried porridge.

All 4 of us agreed that this bowl of fried porridge was indeed tasty. The crispy pork lard used definitely played a big role in making this dish taste so much better.. It also has chunks of chicken, and dried cuttlefish. Yumms!

Fried Porridge. Price-RM12

We also ordered the fried meehoon with mantis shrimp (with a min order of 10pcs).. The mantis shrimp was definitely tasty, though it isn't that easy to peel of its shell, and require some skills.

Mantis Shrimp. Price-RM32

The steam lala was also good, though the size of the lala was a little too small. It's steamed with chinese wine, with ginger and chilli padi. Simple and nice.

Steam Lala. Price-RM18

This restaurant is mainly patronized by families, and the crowd was getting bigger nearer to dinner time. Overall this is a place serving good meal at reasonable price. Total bill came up to RM65.80 for 4 pax.

Monte's @ Taman Intan, Klang

Somehow, I felt that I've under-explored eateries in Klang. A friend shared with me that Monte's is one of her favorite western food restaurant, and thus suggested to family to try the food here, last week.

Sis and family had settled for Windmill in the past, out of no other choices that she knew, is relieved to discover Monte's.

Monte's at Taman Intan occupies the corner lot, and we love the roomy, simple and lots of white used in its interior.

Inside Monte's

The only set back is that the staff is not really equipped to recommend much to its customers, and could hardly explain much when asked further about the menu.

Nevertheless, we enjoyed our meal, as the overall food here were good.

The Black Pepper chicken meat was real tender and juicy, topped with lots of black pepper sauce. The potato wedges also tasted good.

Black Pepper Chicken. Price-RM15.90

The Mexican Chicken, grilled to perfection, and topped with spicy sauce, cooked with lots of tomato, onion and capsicum. A sauce mixed with sour and spicy taste, yumms!

Mexican Chicken. Price-RM15.90

The favorite of all was the Fettuccine al Salmone. Fettuccine filled with thick creamy sauce, and chunks of salmon... this was just so tasty...though creamy, but doesn't make you sick of it.. ;)

Fettuccine al Salmone. Price-RM19.90

The Grilled Fish with garlic butter sauce had such a pleasant aroma to it.

Grilled Fish with butter and garlic sauce. Price-RM16

First round of experience - passed! This is actually a branch out of Monte's at BSC (which my friend told me very recently that the standard of food has dropped). Anyway, I do like the standard of food at this Monte's in Klang.

Ho Chiak @ Taman Intan, Klang

Ho Chiak started business, in this really simple set-up shop, on 10 Sep 2010. Ho Chiak's specialty being red wine chicken rice, and red wine chicken mee suah, however they also sell other kind of noodles, pumpkin rice and soup.

I could smell the chinese red wine even from a few shoplots away, before reaching.

Tried the redwine mee suah, and one sip, the 'kick' kicks in. Thick soup, cooked with red wine used, and lots of ginger. The mee suah was cooked together with pieces of chicken, mushroom and black fungus. For those who would like a stronger taste of ginger, they could help themselves to add on more.

Redwine Chicken Mee Suah

Also ordered the pumpkin rice to try. Tasty rice filled with pumpkin and chicken.
