7 & 9 September 2011: Restoran Ye Look (以勒海鲜饭店) is a famous eat-out place in Sri Petaling, especially for those who are looking for a casual Chinese-style dinner. We dine there twice this week because I'm addicted to the herbal chicken there.


Here are what we had...

• Herbal Kampung Chicken (药材马来鸡) (RM23) -> I have been craving for this type of herbal chicken for such a long time ever since the restaurant serving my favourite herbal chicken in Pandan Indah changed it's cook. I have been hunting for this dish up and down in Klang Valley and I finally found it here. This is half kampung chicken cooked with chinese herbs in aluminium foil. The chicken is very young, juicy and tender. The thick herbal gravy is really tasty. I personally love this. High recommended!
  
• Stir-fried Fish Slices with Ginger and Spring Onion (姜葱鱼片) (RM20) -> Quite small portion and slightly overpriced. Tastes average. Not worth the price.
  
• Braised Pork with Salted Fish (咸鱼花腩煲) (RM12) -> Big portion and quite tasty. Worth a try.
  
• Stir-fried Kang-Kung (清炒蕹菜) (RM8) -> Average dish at reasonable price.
  
• Lotus Root Soup (莲藕汤) (RM6) -> Quite tasty but the strong taste of cuttlefish covered the original taste of lotus root. I would prefer if it's without the cuttlefish.

6 September 2011: It's 9pm on Tuesday night and we were trying to avoid being stuck in Sri Petaling pasar malam. Hence, we ended up having dinner at Restoran Kam Lun Tai (锦纶泰大城堡大饭店). Here's the list of promotional dishes at affordable price:

• Page 1
• Page 2
  

Here are what we ordered...

• Curry Fish Fillet (咖喱鱼片) (RM12++) -> Taste of curry powder is too strong. There are less than 5 pieces of fish slices in the whole pot.
  
• Nam Yee Ribs (南乳骨) (RM10++) -> Taste alright but too bony. Not much meat can be found.
  
• Yau Mak with Garlic (蒜米油麦胆) (RM8++) -> Some of the vegetables are over-fried until the vegetables become yellowish in colour. This should not happen in this "supposed to be" reputable Chinese restaurant.
  
• Braised Noodles (焖伊面) (RM12++) -> Average.

In general, most of the dishes in this meal are disappointing. We suspect that the main chef was not around because it was already after 9pm.

Restoran Harbour Steamboat @ Bandar Baru Sri Petaling

5 September 2011: We were searching around Sri Petaling area for a place to have dinner where parking is not a concern. We came across Harbour Steamboat (海港火锅) and decided to give it a try. When we walk into the restaurant, a staff asked whether we made any reservation. If not, we can only dine from 7pm to 8pm because there are a few reservations at 8pm.


Harbour Steamboat serves ala carte steamboat. We can choose the type of ingredients we want by specifying the portion. The minimum portion is 1/2. The menu with the list of all available soup and ingredients are shown below:


Here's the steamboat pot with the soup of our choice...


As for the ingredients, here are what we had...

• Macau-style Pork Bone Soup (澳门猪骨汤) -> Quite sweet and tasty. Worth a try.
  
• Pepper Soup (特色胡椒粒汤)
  
• Chicken Slices (秘制鸡肉片)
  
• Deep-fried Fish Balls (炸鱼丸)
• Egg (鸡蛋)
• Grouper Slices (新鲜石斑片)
• Shui Gao (新鲜水饺)
• Wan Tan (鲜虾云吞) -> Fresh and tasty. Recommended.
  
• Stuffed Tau Fu Pok (自制鱼肉酿豆卜)
• Spinach (苋菜)
• Mushrooms (金针菇 & 凤尾菇)
• Meehoon (广东米粉)

This meal costs RM67.20 in total for 2 person. I think this is overpriced. As for the quality of the food, I would say it's generally satisfactory. Nothing to complain but nothing impressive. When we left the restaurant at 8pm, we saw many chairs arranged nicely outside the restaurant. The owner is expecting long queue although it's a weekday. I don't understand what actually attracts the crowd...

2 September 2011: Black & White Station in Pandan Indah serves Chinese and Western food in clean, cosy and comfortable environment. I bought "[53% Off] 2-course Western Meal + 1 Ice cream Dessert for 2 people at Black & White Station for RM20 instead of RM42.35" voucher from Groupon. It looks unusually quiet here for a Friday evening. I have no idea what's the reason.


This deal includes:

• 2 mushroom soup
• 2 main course (BBQ grilled chicken chop OR Grilled fish chop)
• Chocolate and vanilla ice-cream with oreo

Here comes the food...

• Mushroom Soup -> Quite tasty and creamy but slightly too salty.
• BBQ Grilled Chicken Chop -> The BBQ sauce tastes quite unique. It's a bit sweet, sour and spicy. Very appetizing. Recommended.
• Grilled Fish Chop -> I chose garlic sauce for this. The grilled fish chop looks more like fried fish chop and it's too salty. I don't really enjoy this.
• Ice-cream with Oreo -> Normal ice-cream with standard Oreo. Refreshing.
• Orange + Apple + Carrot Juice (RM6.50++) -> In addition to the 2 course meal, we ordered this healthy drink which is supposed to help in digestion and good for the lungs. This tastes not bad. Worth a try.

1 September 2011: Restoran Makanan Laut Soon Fatt (顺发海鲜饭店) is a popular dinner spot for Chinese families around Sri Petaling area.


The crowd can be seen as early as 6pm daily. You will have problem getting a table after 7pm. However, you don't have to wait long because the service here is really fast. It's the most efficient Chinese restaurant I've ever been to, especially when you order daily recommended precooked dishes. I waited for less than 10 minutes for the food to be served.

Here are what we had...

• Herbal Chicken with Soup (药材鸡汤) (RM25) -> This is a precooked dish. Huge pot of tasty chicken and soup with generous amount of herbs. Highly recommended.
• Braised Pork Ribs with Yam (芋头焖排骨) (RM12) -> This is another precooked dish. Pork and yam are well cooked and tasty. Recommended.
• Stir-fried Young Potato Leaves (清炒树苗) (RM9) -> Normal stir-fried vege.

I strongly recommend this restaurant for daily casual dinner due to the minimal waiting time, good food at reasonable price. Here's the location and details of Restoran Makanan Laut Soon Fatt @ Sri Petaling...
