Ah Sang Bakuteh, Sungai Way

It has been almost 29 years ago when this Ipoh mari opened this Bakuteh restaurant. It was about eight years ago when I first visited to this Bakuteh restaurant with a bunch of my office mates. It was pack with people then as it is the lunch time. We waited not too long to have a table as the service was fast. Eight years later, I revisit this place with my family. It was about 9.30am when we reached and not many people then.



The restaurant entrance

They only have the soup Bakuteh. We ordered all-in (taufu pok, inoki mushroom, pork meat, pork ribs, pork intestine and vege). The strong aroma of the broth were covered around in the restaurant. They were generous enough to give us an extra 2 bowls of soup without we ask for it. The soup is not sticky type. I can't really recall what is the taste like eight years ago BUT the taste now is a bit sweet and there is a strong Chinese herbs in it...Overall Not too bad.

 

 
The 'Yau Char Kuey' is an additional side dishes that you MUST have. It is a bit crispy at outside and puffy in inside. So when you soak it in the broth .. it makes the test perfect. We manage to ordered double this time compare to last time, no stock..

They served Yau Fan Or white rice. If you are lucky enough, try to eat with the Yau Fan. As it is always sold out very fast.

It costs us about RM40+ plus the drinks. Not that expensive...

How to get there...it is quite easy to find. It is opposite the Indian Temple or the Full address as below. Happy trying.

Yap Chuan Bakuteh, Puchong

People tends to say, if you want to eat GOOD & YUMMY BKT, you should try out Klang BKT. But, I don't think so. Recently, I've tried out the BKT at Yap Chuan Bakuteh in Bandar Puchong Utama. Situated at the corner lot, it was quite easy to find with the big signage of the restaurant.

 

 

It was about 11.10am when we reached and the empty space started to fill up with bakutek lovers. 

 

 

Basically, they are famous of the Dry Bakuteh (RM11/pax). Compare to the one I tried I Klang, I prefer here for sure. Not sure why it's being called dry bakuteh where there is no taste of bakuteh. It is more like stir fried pork with Oyster sauce and special dark soy sauce. Added the ladies finger, shreds dried cuttlefish and dry chili makes the pork taste better.

 

It wouldn't be called eating Bakuteh if you didn't order the Bakuteh Soup (RM10/pax). consists of meaty pork ribs, pork belly, pork intestinal, foo chok simmered in a complex broth of herbs and spices. I can feel the Ooomph when the soup work its way down my throat as the soap is not too thick. Yau char kwai dipping into the soup..hmm, that is my favorite step.

 

 

The next step is to dip the pork in chopped chilli padi and minced garlic, bath with the light soy sauce and dark soy sauce.

 

I have no regret trying it and will sure visit this place again.

Curry Laksa @ Restorant Asia, Seremban

Ask about the best Laksa in Seremban, we were recommended to this Restaurant Asia Laksa. Located nearby the Rahang post office, it was quite easy to find. The restaurant's signage is a bit blur but still can read it well. Understand that there were 2 same restaurants owned by same siblings. One is at Senawang and the other will be at Jalan Rahang. We went to the Jalan Rahang's then after fetching my sis from Labu, Seremban.

It was the same busy day I presume as there were no table available when we reach about 12noon.  But we no need to wait long to be seated.

We ordered wet Laksa or Laksa Sup (RM3.80) purely with bihun saja. We like the taste of the sup as the owner uses less coconut. Added with is the chicken, cockles, beansprouts, tofu puffs and hard boiled egg. We drink every little bit of the sup till the bowl went dry.

 

The combination of the spicy chilli paste and curry makes the Laksa perfect. In fact, we were a bit pai seh (ashamed), cos we asked the generous owner to refill the Chili paste few times.

 

 

Besides, we also order the dry laksa (RM3.80). The taste a different from the wet laksa. This we ordered bihun campur yellow noddle. The differences is, there is pork shred. Not bad the taste.

 

We definitely will re-visit to the restorant next time

Old China Cafe, KL

There was a good write-up on this café from the viewers on net. Me & my husband make a trip there just to try out their Nyonya Laksa. It is easy to find as the café is a walking distance from Petaling Street. And also there were a big parking space in front the café.

Since Old China Cafe was shortlisted in the Best Malaysian Restaurant category of the Time Out KL Food Awards 2012, we look forward to it.

We reached there 11.16 am thought the café open at 11am but was informed by the staff the café open at 11.30am instead. Hmm, end up my husband, my little boy and me have to wait outside the café till 11.35 am. A bit disappointing with the service rendered in the first place as no one bother to take our order despite we raise and call them few times. We are the first customer to arrive and in no time, the whole café was full with customers. Since the Café just started their business, the serving is rather slow. We waited quite long for our food.

But anyhow we were amaze with the decoration of the café which are Nyonya style with the antique clocks & pictures of Peranakkan Baba hanging on the wall, small little fan on the table makes the whole place look so antique.

My husband ordered the Nyonya Laksa (RM10.90). We liked the taste. The thick gravy is covered with the strong lemongrass taste. 

I ordered the Nasi Lemak (RM10.90). This I strongly NOT recommended to try cos  the rice is not well cook and the sambal is too sour. The ikan bilis are also hard to chew.

Perhaps we should try the other dishes next time.

Fish Farm Thai Restaurant, Hulu Langat, Ampang

 

It was quite an adventure, I would say, to get to Fish Farm Thai Restaurant as the road is winding, bumpy and narrow. It took about half-and-hour to get there from KL. It is quite easy to find the place as there is a BIG signage of the restaurant at the road side. 

We reached about 12 noon and the crowd is still a bit kosong. There were lot of sit still available. The tables and chairs was placed on the wooden planks above the pond and surrounded by trees make the place so cozy. The wooden planks shake every time people walk way by, like the place can roboh at anytime but I doubt this could happened.

We can see from the entrance that the seafood like fishes, prawns, crabs, clams and oysters was being reared by the owner and even the vegetables are organic and the chicken too.

Our foods being served quite fast. We ordered Tilapia BBQ (RM30.00). Beside of being cooked on the charcoal stove, the fish is fully covered with rough salt and some serai makes the aroma ..hmm..yummy.  The taste of the fish is so fresh from the first bite till the end.

The Butter Prawn (RM24-small) is not bad too. Well cooked with curry leave and egg. My kids loved this the most. 

Another must order dish and highly recommended is the Tomyam SeaFood (RM25). Enough for 2 to 3 pax. The sup is not that spicy and sour that we thought. The prawns tasted sweet and fresh. Contained with prawns, squids, fish fillet and some oyster mushroom. Even my second son that he himself don't take spicy food also loved it.

Of course, vegetable is must dish for me so I ordered the Stir Fired Spinach with garlic (RM9). Not too oily and ngam ngam the taste. 

Salted Egg Yolk Squid (RM18). A kind of unique cooking I would say cos the Fried Squid is covered with creamy egg yolk. But we don't really like this dish cos the taste. Not really that 'Uhm'. We can't really taste the salted egg yolk.

We were recommended to try out the Fishcake (RM12-Small). Not too bad the taste. 

Well last but not least, we ordered the fresh Oyster (RM10/pc). The oyster was absolutely fresh. Top with the lemon juice makes the taste more fresh. As you can see from my picture, your mouth will be full if you slot in the whole oyster..Highly recommended by me. Wow! Thumb Up!

Hmm..it was a bit disappointing cos we didn't order my favorite crab as the price is expensive (RM90/kg).

Besides they do serve other Thai snacks like Lord Chong and kuih muih.

 

After eating for the first time there, we make another trip recently during the Mother's Day but is at night this time. The way there are more adventures compared the first time cos there is totally no street light. We have to totally rely on our car's light to there. Despite of the crowd, we manage to get a table easily.

This time round, we ordered the Spinach Sup (RM10-small). The sup taste great. Mixture of egg and ginger makes spinach more sweet.

The Fried Chicken with Lemon Leave (RM15-small) taste great. We like the aroma from lemon and the chicken's texture is tender with the skin is crispy. Sekali sampai, habis terus from my kids and husband. 

The Steam Tilapia with Soy Sauce (RM30) is fresh. We are worry of the muddy smell in the fish but our worries goes away with every bites, the strong garlic and soy sauce had covered the muddy smell. The fish is fresh and soft.

The Chili Clams (RM16) taste OK but a little spicy. There is a strong mixture taste from the Onion Leaves, Onions, Chili and Oyster Sauce in this dish. The Clams are fresh of course but most of the clams are closed when it being serve and is empty when we open it.

My Mom-In-Law requested for another vege and I ordered Four Type vege with Belacan (RM10-Small). As for this dish, we not really like it as the eggplant and ladies finger is kinda of 'tua" and hardly chew. We can't really taste the belacan taste too. 

After the experience of eating there at noon and also night. We prefer to have dinner again cos the weather is breezy and accompanied by gentle Thailand songs. There were lots of flies in the afternoon but the owner light it with lemongrass candle that shoo..the flies away.

The bill came up to RM196.90 for lunch and RM121.50 for dinner with drinks and rice. Pretty much affordable with the total dishes we ordered.
