Restaurant Weng Kee

This is a placed which was recommended by a friend not long time ago. I had always patronized this area at Section 17, P.J for years but never imagine that this corner lot sells Roasted Duck. So I had decided to have lunch with a friend of mine, Ken and try it out. The name of the shop is Weng Kee. It's located at the wet market in Section 17.

Let's get into the food. I saw that they offer more than just roast duck. They also sells roast pork (char siew) and also sliced stuffed pork (yuk cheong). So I had ordered the combination of the three and make it for 2 person portion. To be frank I am not sure what is so famous bout his duck. Other than it's fresh scent of roast and juicy meat.

This is the roast pork and also sliced stuffed pork but a bit little. I know it's expensive but can we make it a bit less pathetic? Roast pork not that special and juicy but still alright. Stuffed pork was a bit hard but still able to sink your teeth in it.

This vegetable came as a SOP for the whole dish. We didn't ordered it but it came together. Anyway, it's rare for me eating roast duck, pork or even chicken accompanied with vegetable.

Altogether we had spent RM22 inclusive of two glasses of herbal tea. I think I still prefer other places like Sunrise or even the roast duck at Damansara Utama compared to here. But surprisingly there is a lot of customers and some times I even saw the place pack and customers need to wait for a table. Weird! Will I return? Slim chance. (Rating: 3.5 out of 5.0)

Sheraton Restaurant

Finally I found another place which served All-You-Can-Eat. Me and some of my makan friends were sad when we found out that the previous venue (Old Ship) had to be closed. But luck was on my side when my ex-colleagues called me up and told me they found a new place which serve the same and at a cheaper price. You don't have to ask me twice. The place is called Sheraton Restaurant which is located in the heart of Puchong.I think a lot of people know of this place but just didn't know that they serve All-You-Can-Eat buffet style.

As always they will gave us a special menu with food listed in their respective category. Crab and shark fin can be ordered once but this place could order fish unlimited times. Other than that, they served vegetables, pork, chicken, prawns, squids, dim sums, omelets and desserts. Sorry no clams over here. And here are some of the food which we ordered. Yes, this is part of the whole course of the meal which worth mentioning.

Fried Squids in Butter Cream, highly recommended.

Crab in Kam Heong, flower crab not that much meat but still alright.

Chicken in Special Sauce, tasted very nice and the sauce is quite special.

Roasted Crispy Duck, not bad.

What is a course without Shark Fin.

Sweet & Sour Prawns, this is really nice. The blend between the two taste was really good.

Drunken Chicken in Claypot with mushroom. My ex-colleagues said it's very good. I don't like it.

Fried Squids in Salty Eggs which is OK but I like the butter cream anytime.

Sweet & Sour Pork, I think, but not to say that good. Don't know which part they took as it's quite tender.

Fish in Garlic and I do mean a lot of GARLIC. Practically the whole fish was covered with garlic. Did I mentioned there's a lot of garlic?

And lastly we ordered some sea coconut with longan for dessert and also fruits on a platter. When the sea coconut goes down your throat after a long filling meal, I must say it's an unimaginable sensation. We were damn full. Didn't managed to finished the fish and a few pieces of squids and crabs. So how much did we paid? It's written there RM23.80++. All together we paid RM29/head inclusive of a pot of Chinese Tea and also 5% government tax. Not expensive at all for all the stuff that we all ate. Service was pretty good like changing a clean plate and pouring the tea and all. Definitely be coming back real soon. (Rating: 3.8 out of 5.0)

Duck King

An old friend had invited me for lunch today. She told me that there's this place called Duck King. OMG~! A place pro-claimed themselves duck king. This I had to see and try. The place is located inside Jaya One. Just park in the basement go to Ground floor. It's behind Starbucks. You can't miss it. I was quite surprised with the whole place as there were so many restaurants to try out.

OK, now back to the main dish. Like the name says, the place served duck but not just duck but also Hong King Dim Sum, Noodles & Porridge and full varieties of Chinese cuisine. Their menu is damn big and one thing caught my eye at the bottom of the menu. It's written, "This Menu Cost RM1500++". WTH!! I am not sure it's the menu cost or the total cost of the dishes in the menu.

Since my friend, Tania had tried out the place before so I let her decide what to ordered. For the main dish we had ordered 1/4 portion of Roasted Duck. Well the duck was nice and juicy as it should be. Skin is crispy and sweet. Not bad at all.

She recommended the Grilled Squid with Butter and Salt. I like my squid deep fried but grilled is alright with me. The portion was quite large for two of us. Taste is salty but nice. Duh!

We had also go for the waitress recommendation of their house specialty vegetable. It's organic and it's very special as I haven't tried this vegetable before. She told me the name but I don't really remembered and heard it before. It's not in the menu but most importantly it tasted really nice.

As for the rice they have four type to choose from. Plain, Oily, Minced Pork and Pork Oil. All are steamed in a pot of rice so the fragrance of the pork sips into the rice and it's quite nice if you really like pork.

The place was already packed when we arrived around noon. You need to have reservation if you wanted to sit inside. Even during dinner the place is packed needless to say weekends. They do served their specialty Peking Duck, Shark Fin, Geoduck, whole lot of fresh ocean fishes and also dim sums. There is this dish called Barbeque Meat Five Combination which I would like to try out on my next trip. The whole lunch cost both of us RM87 inclusive of a pot of tea. Tummy was full before I could finished off the rice. A very satisfied customer if I would add. Most definitely coming back with my family on one of the weekends. (Rating: 3.8 out of 5.0)

Restaurant Bak Kut Teh Yap Chuan

This is my second visit to this restaurant. The first visit was few months back with some of my friends. Read here. I would definitely say that the taste had changed a lot since I last visited the place. The place I'm talking about is called Restaurant Bak Kut Teh Yap Chuan located in Bukit Raja. Those who familiar with my makan style should know that I am into dry bak kut teh compared to the traditional wet one. So I had ordered 2 pax for the dry bak kut teh this time around. The outlook was really nice but I couldn't say that the same bout it's taste. It lacks that scent of spice and taste. Although it's a 2 pax, it wasn't that large of a portion too.
My girl is more to the traditional bak kut teh eater, so I had to order single pax for her. Yes, two of us ordered a 3 pax meal. The soup wasn't as thick as before in term of taste. It's quite plain and fall flat on the scent too. Don't take me wrong, it's still a nice average bak kut teh just that I expected more from the shop. (Rating: 3.5 out of 5.0)

I think I still prefer the one at Sentosa with their dry bak kut teh and also Zheng Jia from Puchong. This is the two places which I love the most. Teluk Pulai is another location which I heard so much but didn't have the opportunity to try it out till now. Anyone up for bak kut teh??

Hoe Kee Chicken Rice

And the on top of the "Must Eat" list was Chicken Rice. And in this case Hainan Chicken Rice Ball. The name of the place is Hoe Kee and it's highly recommended by both my friend MD and CP. I noticed that most of the restaurant located along Jonker were all very long. The shop it self is really long, so they were able to fit a lot of customers behind their shop.

So here's the famous chicken rice ball. We need to take in some normal rice as they do not have sufficient ball rice for us all. Are they for real? Not to say that spectacular compared to the one which I ate on my previously trip at Melaka Raya.

Steamed White Chicken and some chicken liver as normal. Chicken was soft and tender as it should be. Not bad but nothing much to brag about either. We had ordered 2 plates of cabbages too as we though we don't get enough green during the whole trip. This was one of the last meal we had before we left. Luckily I had a good breakfast that morning so I wasn't totally disappointed bout the chicken rice. I think some of them understand what I meant from this. LOL! (Rating: 3.8 out of 5.0)
