Klang - Bandar Di Raja is also well known for its Hokkien Community. Being a Klangite and a Hokkien myself, I wish to tell the whole world that Klang is not just all about Bah Kut Teh. There are plenty of other good stuffs that can be found here… for example, me! … well ok, not ME but the Hokkien Mee!

If you’re ever in Klang at night and craving for some Hokkien Mee, why not go to Restoran Nam Yang for some tasty and full of chu yau char (fried pork lard) Hokkien Mee!

Restoran Nam Yang is located along Jalan Meru, just around the corner of Klang Parade. The restaurant is just beside yet another famous food restaurant, Restoran Lai Choon Bah Kut Teh.

My family usually goes there for dinner. They serve the best kung-po fried mantis prawns (kung-po lai liu har) in town. But since there are only 3 of us for dinner, we decided to have Hokkien Mee only.

Although this is not my first choice of place to go, Restoran Nam Yang do dish out quite good Hokkien Mee too. The Hokkien Mee here in Klang is definitely better than those I had in PJ. Some may disagree with me but then again, I grew up eating Klang food :p

There’s generous amount of fried pork lard (chu yau char) and the right amount of time on the wok. The dish is not too saucy and not too dry.

Unlike other places out of Klang, we Klangites do not really fancy to have fried lala with Hokkien Mee. So don’t be surprised if you don’t see any lala dish around.

But if you really do crave for some lalas, there is a stall selling fried lala omelette (lala jian) and it’s one of the best in Klang too, well at least it is for me. The omelette is rather thin which makes it really crispy on the outer layer but once you make your way in, it’s really yummy and chewy.

Garnished with generous amount of spring onions and bean sprout (tau geh), it doesn’t just taste great, it looks really appetizing too.

Nothing beats a good, satisfying meal. A simple meal for 3 person only cost us RM20. Reasonably cheap for such a good meal.

As promised, here’s my next food review on Hokkien Mee as mentioned on my last posting. The name of the place is Restoran Mey Yen in Paramount Garden, PJ.

For those who are familiar with PJ Paramount area, this restaurant is not really hard to find. It’s the only chinese restaurant that’s located in the alley of two rolls of shoplots along Caltex petrol station.

Restoran Mey Yen boasts of their famous ‘Hokkien Char‘ of Hokkien Mee and they did live up to that for quite some time. Whenever we’re in PJ and crave for some Hokkien Mee, we will end up in Restoran Mey Yen for some quick bite. They are pretty fast sometimes and food is usually served no longer than 10 minutes.

Last night, after watching a 7 o’clock movie in Subang, we decided to go for some Hokkien Mee. There are 6 of us, 2 of us are ladies and the rest are well known ‘big eaters’. So as usual, we ordered quite many dishes.

The first dish is no other than their famous Hokkien Mee. Now Restoran Mey Yen is definitely another place I would go for Hokkien Mee anytime because they cook it just the way it should be, thick and sticky! The sauce is really thick and sticky and the taste is just nice. They used to fry their noodles on charcoal fire but too bad they had to turn to modern gas stove for speed and convenience. I don’t know why but anything that’s cooked with charcoal fire taste better. There are 6 of us, so the big plate of Hokkien Mee didn’t get cold after it was served. Yummy!

The second dish that came was the Yin Yong and it was pretty good too. It’s not easy to dish out a good plate of cantonese fry but the cook did yet another good job. The sauce is really tasty and rather sticky too. Just the right amount of corn starch and egg mixture. The best part of Restoran Mey Yen is everything is cooked fresh; even the noodles. Unlike some other place, the bee hoon are not pre-cooked. So you don’t get that disgusting overnight cooking oil taste in your bee hoon.

Ok, men do eat their veges too; we are not all meat eaters. They next dish was Kangkong Belacan. I guess it really common to have Kangkong Belacan with noodles every now and then, right?

The dish that came together with the vege was the Loh Mee. I have to admit, they do serve rather good Loh Mee there. Just the Yin Yong, they Loh Mee too had the right amount of corn starch and egg mixture but cooked in a different style. Loh Mee has got more starchy sauce than the Yin Yong. Oh ya, it goes well with a little bit of black vinegar.

I don’t know why but it’s quite common that most Hokkien Mee restaurants to serve fried lala. This is not my first time to Restoran Mey Yen and definitely not my first time trying their fried lala. I used to love their fried lala a lot but not this time. Perhaps I’ve tried better ones like the one in Restoran Aik Yuen but that is not the reason why I don’t like it so much this time. I think it’s because that the lalas are not fresh this time. Unlike others, they cooked the lalas with lots of garlics and gingers. Even that, it didn’t help to cover that strong lala smell. Too bad.

By the time the serve the last dish, we’re quite stuffed. The last dish that came was another good dish. Fried Bee Hoon with canned Khow Yuk (stewed pork). Now this dish is delicious if you love khow yuk. The mee hoon gets to absorb the khow yuk sauce and it makes the dish ever more tastier. The dish is just nice, not too saucy and the khow yuk is excellent! Fatty and tasty! Hehe.

Well, we had a good meal but was quite dissappointed with the fried lala. Though the Loh Mee was good but we didn’t finish it too as well.

Even though we are big eaters, enough is enough and we do have good taste for food too. The fried lala just didn’t quite make it so I’m not really keen about having that dish again.

Here’s another review on my favourite Hokkien Mee. We decided to drive down to KL during the weekend for some good hokkien mee and we ended up in Setapak, at this restaurant right behind Tawakal Hospital. The name of the restaurant is Restoran Aik Yuen.

Restoran Aik Yuen is famous for its deep-fried homemade fish cake and hokkien mee. You can see almost every table will have at least the hokkien mee and fish cakes served. The reason why I decided to go there it’s because of the yummy ‘saito‘ fish cake. It’s crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. One bite is never enough.

Aik Yuen is also famous for its hokkien mee and fried lala. Now I’ve tried so many hokkien mee stalls in Klang Valley so far, Aik Yuen is still one of my favourite. This is because they always give a generous amount of chu yau cha(fried pork lard)!.

And for their fried lala, it’s the best so far. I love the slightly spicy sweet and sour sauce for the lala. It’s da bomb! I find that the fried lala is much better than Restoran Mey Yen in Paramount(will blog about that later). The sweet and sour sauce compliments the lala and the garlic and cili padi makes the dish more interesting! The sauce is so good that I just couldn’t resist dipping my fish cake into it.

Restoran Aik Yuen is uniquely special. Even though they have an existing physical outlet, they still prefer to prepare their food outdoor. There are 3 cooks working the woks, 2 of them will be cooking all the noodle dishes and the other one will be preparing the fried lalas and fish cakes.

They will serve anyone as long as there’s enough space for more tables along the street right infront of the restaurant. We were there until 10pm and there are barely any empty tables available. It’s full all the time so you have to be patient and wait around.

Overall, the food is really good. The hokkien mee is just nice, sticky and black and the lala… the best! The saito fish cake is good but slightly expensive. Anyways, who cares as long as our stomachs are happy. Just take a look at the happy patrons.

The bill came up to RM38 for one hokkien mee (big), one fried lala (med), 2 pieces of fried fish cakes 4 glasses of herbal tea. Slightly more expensive from what we can usually get in PJ but it’s not that we go down to KL all the time for makan. Highly recommended if you want to bring your friends for some good hokkien mee and fried lala.

Here’s a review on the new Fei Loh Hokkien Mee in SS2, PJ.

Being a Klangite, I’m quite an eater especially for hokkien dishes. Besides the famous Klang Bah Kut Teh, I do like other hokkien food too. When I was passing through SS2 about a week ago, something in bright blue caught my attention. Last night, I just couldn’t resist when I saw the new shop is already in business and they are serving my favourite Hokkien Mee!

The shop is just located along the same roll with AFFIN-ISLAMIC Bank and it’s two shops away from SS2 Teo Chew porridge shop and the new Korean BBQ shop (formerly Foh San Restaurant branch). Kind of hard to miss it if you’re a frequent user of the road from SS14 passing thru to SS3 in PJ.

The shop is brightly lighted and very cosy, that’s because they had all their aircons and ceiling fans running… for now. The deco of the shop is fairly impressive but it’s definitely nicer than the other ordinary hokkien mee shops. With the wooden tables and nice clean environment, dining there is quite comfortable. The have about 20 tables in the shop and each table can comfortably fit 4 people.

There’s only 2 of us and I wasn’t feeling very hungry so we only ordered 2 dishes, Hokkien Mee and Yin Yong Kung Fu Chow (Yin Yong Cantonese style). Oh yes, they just started business on April 6 and they are having a promo till the 16th. So any single portion dish of noodle only cost RM3. Reasonbly cheap for a plate of noodle nowadays.

Fei Loh, the boss himself took our order. Sadly, their service is rather sluggish. After waiting for 10 minutes, we still haven’t got our drinks. They even forgot our orders and had to come over to take it again. After another good 10 minutes of more, the food came.

The hokkien mee looks rather good (dry and slightly sticky) and the yin yong too look really good. The presentation of the food is rather nice with generous amount of pork, shrimps, sotong (squid), cabbage and most importantly, chu yau cha (fried pork lard).

Though both dishes look good but sadly there’s nothing to shout about. Both dishes taste rather ordinary so we didn’t finish everything. For someone who enjoys food, I’ve tried much better hokkien mee and yin yong in some other parts of Klang Valley.

Amy, who was much hungrier than me wasn’t quite satisfied with the food either. You can tell from the look on her face

Although it’s not up to my standard, Fei Loh Hokkien Mee might appeal to others. So you don’t have to take my words for it. The bill came up to RM9.50 for 2 plates of noodle, a glass of iced soya cincau and a cup of hot tea which is rather reasonable. The only thing I like about the place is the nice clean environment. Fei Loh, the owner was quite a humble person too. Perhaps I should give it a second try one day since they have other dishes that I haven’t tried especially the fried lala.

Here’s the owner, he really lives up to his name

Just got this hilarious mandarin-hokkien song from my friend and I can’t stop laughing. It’s entitled “Muar Mandarin” sang in hip-hop style. A warning to those tuning in from the office, the song contains explicit lyrics. Totally awesome song and a cool music video production.

This guy is a threat to the Klang & Penang Chow Ah Bengs’ reputation because he is the greater Chow Ah Beng now and he’s from Muar! Muar Rox!!!! GGRrrrrrr….. kan nin nehh.. sien!

Who more chow now? ha ha haaaaa????!!
