Eating Out in Kajang

Back home, breakfast is usually, eating outside food. On weekends, my sis would go to the market, so our dad drives us to eat either in Kajang or Sungai Chua which is slightly further away.


Da Ji at Sungai Chua


Usually, I like to order a cup of coffee and chee cheong fun. The cheong fun in Malaysia, in a way, is more fun (sic) to eat! Why? Because you can mix it with yong tau foo stuffs, and put a little sweet sauce, chili sauce and curry sauce mix and a dash sesame on top, voila! A hearty breakfast!

wanton noodles soup


My dad likes this hawker centre, "Happy Cafe". Haha!


rows of stalls


And, he likes food that are not good for you! Such as char kway teow (laden with oil!) and curry (heaty!).

curry noodles, with juicy see-hum (cockles)


The prawn noodles in Malaysia is different from those in Singapore. There's more variety in terms of taste as compared to those in Singapore which tends to be more cleaner tasting on the palate.


prawn noodles, shioks!


i like the soup!


There's a eating place nearer to the Kajang market, and it is only open at night. That place is called 'Da Zhong', and there's this stall that sells BBQ chicken wings. The chicken wings here is cooked upon order, so expect to wait for about 15 mins. This is a must-try!


yummy chicken wings


Another thing to try, is the nasi lemak from any roadside stall (but pick a hygenic one la..). I'd order it with hard boiled egg, sambal see-hum (cockles), peanuts, and anchovies sambal. Of course, if it's my dad ordering, he'd add one piece of chicken. But of course, in this case, the nasi lemak will then be around RM$4-RM$5 per pack.



looks messy, but taste good!




Don't forget to try the zhi-char in Malaysia, and order the black black hokkien mee.

However, my mom prefers the Cantonese fried noodles.


Yuan Yang Cantonese noodles, where the noodles are beehoon (deep fried) and hor fun


Don't forget to try these dishes, if you're in the vicinity! ;)

Saizeriya Ristorante E Caffe

Located at Level 2 of Liang Court, the restaurant looked serene from the outside, but once inside, the ambience seemed to be very very noisy. We went there on a Friday night, and need not wait long before the service staff found us a table. Next to us was a very large group of diners (probably around 10 pax), comprised mostly of youngsters. Conversation in normal volume would be near impossible!

Spied other diners ordering the finger food such as sausages, chicken wings and escargots. Male diners were seen tucking into hamburg or steaks.

My table ordered gratin bacon (shouldn't it be bacon gratin?) and hamburg (beef with pickled vegetable). Add another $2.58++ for free flow of drinks from the drink bar.

The gratin ($7.18++) was baked penne with milk, cheese, bacon and tomato sauce. If guys were to eat this one, then probably have to add their foccaccia bread or order some finger food, otherwise, the portion might not be enough. Hamburg ($7.18++) arrived quite late. Beware of the very salty brown sauce (tasted like shoyu mix) served alongside. Quite oily but the hamburg was juicy and tender. And the sweet corn was enjoyable.

juicy, tasty beef patty!


loved the sweet corn!


Service staff were courteous but if you're seated at some corner, then it might be quite difficult to catch their attention since they're quite focused in serving the food and the noise doesn't help. Empty plates were cleared quickly. The air conditioning at some areas were quite strong. Brrr!

The drinks bar had orange juice, milo ice, barley and lime, plus the usual suspects of gassy drinks, tea bags (mint, camomile etc) and a coffee machine that can spew out latte, cappucino and coffee.

Good for the budget conscious.
