[Kuala Lumpur] Hai Kee Fried Beef Bun @ Jalan Sultan Petaling Street

0 comments

Visited this shop because the other restaurant was full house that night. Staff was friendly and we got seated quickly.

cutesy looking fried bun monster?


First impression of the shop was its cleanliness and the lovely interior which has a warm vibes.

lovely mural

nice font


The biggest challenge was to find something suitable for my mom and sis to eat. Only bro and me eats beef while the rest of my fam will need something else.

menu


The biggest bummer was that almost all dishes with chicken, were not available...No chicken buns, no chicken dumplings, no chicken skewers etc. So we got the next best possible options; non-beef rice dishes.

chicken fried rice

gong bao chicken rice


The fried rice though tasted good with the fragrant soy sauce flavours, had some uncooked grains so that was a letdown. Thankfully my mom and sis were ok with the gong bao chicken rice dish (the rice here was fully cooked) but the carrot chunks were raw and hard to bite as it were cut into bigger pieces.


beef noodles

Shared the beef buns and noodles with bro. Good flavours for the broth and not too spicy. Noodle was well cooked and still retained a little bit chewiness, but beef chunks were tough.

shop's signature; beef


The beef bun here is the pan-fried 生煎包 type. Size was good and two buns would be a full meal.

Saw a staff with a giant skewer and thought it was pretty interesting. Maybe can try skewers next time.

[Travel] Roaming Around Petaling Street @ Chinatown Kuala Lumpur

0 comments

As usual, we had a short staycation in the vicinity of Petaling Street. Here's some photos of what we did there.

Breakfast at Tang City Food Court


Drinks


Staff from the drinks stall would likely be the first contact with all diners. They'd come to your table to ask what you'd like to drink. Service was brisk and efficient. Do prepare the small change to pay when the drinks are served.

Lucky Soup Famous Wanton Mee


wanton noodles

Hmm, nope I do not know whether it is famous or not, but wanton noodles is quite the quintessential breakfast choice. Stall staff has quite the fierce resting face but hey, I'm just here to order some plates...

The char siew from the stall was tough, so no need to order extra portion. The roast pork fared better and not sure if they got it from the chicken rice/roast meat shop next door. The char siew at the chicken rice stall (next to this noodle stall) was much much better.

wanton soup

The average base price for noodle dish in this food court starts from RM11. Not sure if it is normal price or CNY price as I've only been there during CNY period.


Dim Sum

My dad, who has difficulty in chewing since he is now on dentures, opted for dim sum. The price of per dim sum plate was RM8.


Kiew Yee Beef Noodles


Was happy to see my favourite stall open during this visit. Had to order a bowl to satisfy the cravings. If you're not into beef, they do have fish head bee hoon as alternative though I've never tried that yet.

beef noodles

Mixed part noodle soup for me. Noodles of choice; horfun. Place order to the lady manning the stall and she was friendly and patient.

yummy

Clear broth and flavourful, and tender meats. Yums.



Fishball Noodles

Mom's choice tasted healthy. Ingredients were plentiful though and stall staff was friendly.



Bak Kut Teh


The most expensive dish per pax in the food court would be bak kut teh at RM24 per pot with white rice.

The soup was fine but the pork was super tough. Will skip this.

Teashop


There are plenty of teashops in the area, so we went into the one that my sis usually visits. The were two staff in the shop and we took our time browsing the various tea leaves available in the shop. Staff was helpful and tries to respond to all my queries.

Saw that they had a small area for tea tasting hence, enquired if that was available. We chose a tea leave that we would like to try and staff kindly made it for us.

Thank you to the friendly and helpful staff. Eventually, we did buy some tea leaves to bring home.



Coffee Break


Yew Yew Coffee


Not sure what the fuss was about, so drop by to have a look. This cafe was a few steps away from the hotel. Small and cosy place.

Leaf & Co


My friends dropped by, so we decided to meet at Leaf & Co. We've been to Mingles (which was nearby) and decided to try this place instead.

coconut coffee latte


Hmm, the coconut coffee latte was different from what I'm used to. The ice-cream cake was ok but the carrot cake was nice. 


Side Note


We grabbed some fast food one of the evening, and finally I managed to try nasi lemak. Pretty good I must say. Sambal and rice were nice.

For breakfast, we had it at Tang City Food Court. Find a place to sit and the drinks stall person would come to ask for your drinks order. Pay when the drinks or food is served.

The beef soup stall is towards the back left corner of the food court. They also have fish head noodles as the other option.

The beef soup was clear broth and very tasty. The beef parts included beef slices, tendon, beef ball and all were delicious and tender. It was a happy meal.

Mom prefers the milder soupy stuffs like fishball/porkball noodles.

For dinner, we went to try the shop that shares the same space as Kam Kee Chicken Rice. Day time, one gets to eat chicken rice and night time, one can get zichar from a different operator.

menu


We ordered their signature claypot lou shi fun (silver pin noodle) and decided to try Tom Yum fried rice.

Tom Yum Fried Rice

this calamansi lime is so different...

nam yee fried chicken


The medium portion of the noodles and fried rice was smaller when compared to its neighbour. The food here is stronger in terms of seasoning, and thus, no wonder the lady boss asked us if we could like some beer to go along with the dishes. 

The claypot noodles was served bubbling and one was supposed to mix the ingredients together. It doesn't look like much but flavourful. I enjoyed each scoop of the noodles, especially with the sambal chili. Tom Yum fried rice was decent but the tom yum flavours were pretty muted and not spicy.  There was one or two good sized prawn in there.

I quite liked the fried chicken. Freshly fried to crispy perfection and well marinated. Yums! But my family felt it was too salty.
