Restaurant Hong Ling @ Subang Jaya

Called up my ex-colleague for lunch and we are thinking of a place to eat around Subang Jaya. Bak Kut Teh? Curry Chicken Rice? Crispy Fried Chicken? JM Briyani? But we wanted something not that hot, so he recommended a place called Hong Ling which served Ulu Yam Loh Mee. It's located at SS14 facing SS15. 3 shops away from the bak kut teh shop. My first visit over this place and I am starving. So I am in for anything they have to offer.

Fried Crullers in Salad (RM10 - Small)

My friend had recommended this dish as he had tried it a couple of time and it's not bad. We had ordered a small portion to try it out. Testing the water that is. It wasn't that bad actually. The crullers are still crunchy with mayonnaise wrapped around it. Nice way to open our taste bud.

Fried Bean with Pork (Medium-RM10 / Large-RM15)

This is also one of their recommended dish from the restaurant. It's their fried bean with crispy pork. Damn the pork is so crispy and delicious. The bean looks a bit old but trust me it's very crunchy. I can still hear the crunching sound when I bite into them. Nice.

Ulu Yam Loh Mee (Small-RM5.50 / Medium-RM10 / Large-RM13)

How can we have lunch without ordering their famous loh mee. It's thick and the noodle is just right. Not that dark like the one from Ulu Yam but acceptable. Portion really generous. There's even fried lard in it. Delicious. For a small portion, this is really filling.

Fried Mee Suah (RM5.50-Small / RM10-Medium / RM13-Large)

Surprisingly I like this plate of fried mee suah a lot. It's sort of like glass noodle but better. It's quite wet so the noodle won't stick to each other like glue. Plenty of bean sprout and eggs all around the noodle. Really nice. Trust me, it tasted better than it look.

Special Homemade Shu Fun Kan (Small-RM5.50 / Medium-RM10 / Large-RM13)

Last but not least the special homemade tapioca starch stick noodle. My friend wanted to give this dish a try and it wasn't as nice as it was supposed to be. I had the same at Klang's Boston and it tasted better. The texture here is different from the one from what I had before. This is too salty for me. Not my plate of noodle. But the rest was alright.

This is definitely a place that I will return again with my friends and family for a good plate of noodle. Price is reasonable and parking is still possible to find around the area. There is still a lot of noodle they offered in their menu which I wanted to try like the Hokkien Noodle and Fried Glass Noodle. Maybe another round of lunch with my friends next week. For your information, we had ordered all the small portion for all the food above and there are only three of us to finish off all the above. Total bill comes to about RM38 inclusive of 3 herbal tea.

PS: Thanks to blog ed. for teaching me a new word today, crullers. I trust a lot of you never come across this word similar to me, right? : )

Restaurant Tua Huat @ Jalan 19

It was a bright Sunday afternoon and I just got back from my hometown. It's around 4.30pm and I was wondering if this place will be opening today. As it's the 2nd day of Raya and all. Than I looked at the back of the name card and it read "Public Holiday Open 7 Days". So what the hell, I drove down to Jalan 19 and went over to eat the Loh Mee. The place is called Restaurant Tua Huat and the address is 50G, Jalan 19/3. It's the same row as Nanking Restaurant after the BAT roundabout.

Their specialty is their Loh Mee. So I straight away ordered the Loh Mee and also their Fish Cake and Spring Roll. Their Loh Mee is said to be similar to the one located in Ulu Yam. But since I never had the chance to go over and try. So I just take my colleague's word for it. The Loh Mee is looks very delicious and hot. The color is darker than the one that we usually ate outside. As they had added a lot of vinegar onto the noodle. So for those who can eat a lot of vinegar, than this is the dish for you.

The smell is so nice and the taste of the mee is so refreshing. This might be the amount of vinegar that they poured in and also the fried lard that they put into the soup. You can even bite so of the small fried lard in the noodle. damn cun ~~~!!! Than I had ordered the Fish Cake which to me was just so so. This is because I don't really like to eat fish cake at all. haha! The Spring Roll was really nice. For those who dun like the fish cake (like me) than you can try the spring roll. It's all freshly fried when you ordered.

The price for the noodle (small) is RM 5.00, (medium) RM 9.00 and (large) RM 12.00. The parang fish cake cost around RM 4.00 while the Spring Roll (per roll) is RM 8.00. (Rating : 4.0 out of 5.0)
