Why? Simply because its easy to order and also thats the only complicated Burmese word I can conjure up. But then when u have the same fried rice every single day you would start craving for something, well...a little more complicated and flavorful. Thats when Yoogane Korean Restaurant came into my life.<br />
<br />
Yoogane (Yoo-ga-ney) is technically a chicken galbi restaurant, meaning you would be served a serving of marinated chicken (in typical Korean fashion, with spicy marinades) on a hot plate but what catched my eyes were the fact that you can sort of customize your galbi with white rice and of course, the typical mozzarella cheese we Asians love so much. Fried rice with Korean marinaded chicken and cheese? I say yes, yes please.<br />

The setting of not of your typical Yangon type of few wooden tables and short plastic chairs, but decorated nicely with good designer (at least they look designer to me) furniture with ample space between tables. Doggyjames like...<br />

So what happens here? First you order your choice of galbi/types of meet and style of marinades, which in this case was the store's signature Yoogane's Marinated Chicken Galbi (7,800ks) with some extras for rice (2,000ks) and cheese (2,000ks). The order arrived surprisingly fast, well considering there were no cooking involved just yet.<br />

As of any Myanmar restaurants, there are at least 1 waiter for each table, in which Yoogane made sure they make full use of the waiters....they double up as cooks!<br />

I must say the waiters/cooks are really careful not to spill any meat or sauce onto us when we were there, even putting up a big metal plate around the hot plate for us. So they would cook the chicken, then the vegetables and then if you want the rice, the rice and the cheese. The whole process took less than 15 minutes which is not too bad unless you are really, really hungry....which me and my lunch buddies were at that time.<br />

The result? A bloody good mash up of flavorful chicken, rice and gooey cheese. Could do with more salt but I am good with it though you can always ask for more salt and soy sauce from the waiters. The flavorful chicken combines really well with the rice and with the addition of cheese, this dish is sure to cause serious food coma for anyone. We surely did, ordering 6 portions for 5 people (dont try this at home...).<br />

There are other sides available at Yoogane if you feel like you can handle it, in this case we ordered egg rolls (3,000ks) and Royal Court Topokki (6,500ks) which is a traditional Korean dish with rice cakes and pork. The Topokki was really one of a kind, really flavorful with the right kind of textures mixtures.<br />

Yoogane is certainly a welcomed addition to the Yangon foodscene. Price might be a bit on the higher range for most people but it's certainly a good experience for all!<br />

Tasteless chicken steak swimming in store bought powdered gravy. Uncooked fish that smells like they were sunbathing under the hot Yangon sun for hours...<br />
<br />
These are common situations you will face if you decide to have a meal at most of Yangon's "western" restaurants. Fortunately enough, you will not find these at Peppers Diner, located at a sublime setting in Yankin township.<br />
<br />
I was called out for dinner one day after work by my fellow expats in the office, saying they are going to a really good western restaurant which in my mind, was just <i>meh, another fake-ass western restaurant?</i> Little did I know this would be one of my favorite restaurants ever.<br />
<br />
Peppers is set in a nice bungalow, a common sight in Yangon. With ample seating both inside and outdoors, I'd say its pretty impressive especially when it's called a diner instead of a cafe or restaurant. We sat down and after a short wait and some obligated work talk, the food was served.<br />

First to come was the French Onion Soup (4,000Ks). I was immediately taken by the smell of this home made dish. Onion-ny, generous with cheese and topped with a nice piece of baguette, the soup is definitely made fresh and NOT from a can. My slight cold that night was cured instantly after this delicious little wonder.<br />

I ordered the Fish Au Gratin (7,000Ks) which includes a fresh piece of fish baked to perfection and served with a side of salad and sauteed vegetables. The fish was done just right, not overcooking it and the flavors were heightened by the presence of butter and lemon, a really good way to end my fish cravings that week.<br />

My colleague's Beef Tenderloin (8,000Ks) which was done perfectly medium rare, served with sauteed potatoes was even more impressive. The meat was cooked just right with the perfect amount of char to it. The bread was a nice touch, just the right tool to soak up all the extra juices from the steak.<br />

The Chicken ala Cream (6,500Ks) was surprisingly good. Half a chicken with cream sauce served with salad, sauteed veges and mash potatoes. The chicken was tender and juicy, something you dont always expect at a Myanmar western restaurant. And the cream was heavenly, too bad we ran out of bread to soak up all the sauce!<br />

Peppers is certainly a great choice for Yangonites yearning for a nice, affordable western restaurant. Oh, did I mention the coffee here is really good too?<br />
<br />
Here's a map for you readers. Peppers is located alone New University Avenue Road, near the intersection between New University Avenue Road & Sayarsan road.<br />

<br />
Being what you'd call a true Asian (for my Malaysian/Singaporean readers: cinapek), I proudly admit to be a noodles guy who would go crazy over a simple bowl of piping hot noodle soup. 999 Shan Noodle Shop in downtown Yangon easily fits my 3 criteria of a great noodles shop: small setting, friendly boss & waiters, fantastic food.<br />
<br />
At first glance this unassuming little shop tucked away in a small alley in downtown Yangon might seem like any other noodle shop in Asia, but once you pay notice you will see locals enjoying their noodles alongside what seemed to be seasoned expats (note: T-shirt, shorts and slippers without any cameras) which are always signs of a great hole-in-a-wall noodle place.<br />

My first visit to 999 was after getting inked at my tattoo artist's place about a block away from the shop, when I was still in agonizing pain and probably taking pity on me, the tattoo artist suggested I go to 999 for a nice lunch (or post traumatic treatment, its all good). After ordering from the menu which has English words on it (always helpful), I fell in love with this place almost immediately. Something about the charm of a little shop and people watching, I don't know, just loved it.<br />
<br />
I ordered a serving of Shan Noodle soup which cost less than Ks1500 (most of their noodles cost between Ks1000 & Ks1500) and a side of fried tofu which apparently is a staple snack in Shan state. The soup, while looked really blend and clean was packed full of flavours, most likely from the bones & vegetables they make the stock from. The noodles were chewy and a delight to have, I immediately ordered another bowl after slurping up mine within 3 minutes.<br />

The fried tofu was light and had a fine aroma, perfect marriage with the noodles I'd say. Wouldn't say its the best tofu I had but definitely among the best in Yangon.<br />

What surprised me was the standard condiments which come with the noodles. The preserved vegetables was dynamite, it was crunchy, aromatic and comes with a hint of cognac, probably from the fermentation process. The chilli sauce was amazing as well, though my mind was all over the preserved vegetables.<br />

After going around 5 star hotels for a cup of coffee on weekends (good coffee and environment, but for USD5 a cup? forget it), I finally stumbled onto this nice little place in downtown Yangon.<br />

The interior resembles a nice little family owned coffee place in Sdyney or Melbourne, which made the place a little bit more familiar to me. Staffs were helpful and knows their coffee too.<br />

Coffee here really is the bomb in yangon, a cuppa latte cost Ks1,700, probably the most reasonably priced coffee in town considering you only get instant coffee at the tea stands. The nice coffee art would brighten up anyone's day too.<br />

One must have food on the menu here would be the pies. I have always been a sucker for good pies and I would say the pies here are some of the best I have had in Yangon. The pastry skin is really crispy and the fillings really generous. The steak pie (Ks4,800) which I usually have are filled with generous chunks of meat and the gravy inside is fantastic too, perfect for the raining season now. The mini quiches (Ks800) here are delightful and just cute, and another must must snack? The freshly baked cookies!(ks600)<br />

Here's a map for you readers. Note that Coffee Club is locate on the 1st floor above a handphone shop so you have to look up for the big sign on top. Parking is almost impossible so just get a taxi. Internet speed at this place is decent and if you see doggyjames sitting there enjoying his pie & coffee, come by and say hi! :D<br />

The silky smooth <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teh_tarik">teh tarik</a>, the crispy, fragrant <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roti_canai">roti canai</a>...if i were to pick one thing i missed the most back home, it would be mamak stalls.<br />
<br />
Fortunately for me, Myanmar has her own version of mamak stall too! I almost jumped through the roof with joy after a colleague asked me to join him at a local tea shop, which he promised serves almost exactly the same food one would expect in a Malaysian mamak stall.<br />
<br />
This particular tea shop is located in Kamaryut township, along Insein road, just a km or 2 away from where my apartment is. There is no point for me to state the details of this particular shop as there are at least 3 tea shops in almost every street in Yangon, big or small.<br />

First the food, we decided to go for some roti canai, which in Myanmar is called dhosai (or tosai). Really different from Malaysian or India, where dhosai is a completely different thing. Remember to ask for curry or dhaal (if they have it) as the dhosais normally come with beans or peanuts. Curry in Myanmar is called, surprisingly, "curry".<br />

<i>cha seh</i>: sweeter tha usual, the normal ones are pretty sweet already but the locals do like their tea sweeter than usual.<br />
<br />
<i>bone mahn</i>:<i> </i>regular tea, same as lapae-ya<br />
<br />
<i>baw shent</i>: strong tea, my cuppa tea.<br />

<i>cha hseent: </i>a stronger than the one above,<i> </i>and less sweet. my usual<i><br /> </i><br />
<i>bancho</i>: strong and sweet <br />
<br />
<br />
And if you want, ask for <i>sheh-la</i> with your tea. This usually means you tea would be made with condensed milk from a tin, cost about 50-100kyats extra than a normal cup or tea, which is usually 150-200kyats.<br />
<br />
Or if you want, you can opt for the standard free chinese tea provided at all the tea shops, called <i>cha. </i>Or as i call it, a tea tank.<br />

One of the many things that fascinates me in this beautiful city: the buildings.When they say Yangon is the place with the most colonial buildings in Asia they weren't kidding.<br />

Probably one of the most obvious landmarks in downtown Yangon, the city council building, surrounded by stalls of street vendors and illegal money changers. Of course, there is a pagoda right next to it.<br />

One of the most significant buildings in Yangon: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministers%27_Building" title="Ministers' Building">Secretariat Building</a>, where Aung San was assassinated. The building remains closed to the public but there are talks of foreign investors wanting to convert it into a museum/hotel complex. Will they bring the building back to its former glory or destroy it, just like so many beautiful old buildings around the world?<br />

<br />
Like most establishments in Yangon, be it local or foreign owned, the place is quite a challenge to find. A nice little bungalow with great outdoor seating options and lush greens, the place reminds me of my grandparents place, minus a few mango trees and grandma's dishes. There are more than 20 tables outside and 10 inside, although I must insist sitting outside because of the view.<br />

Our orders came within 10 minutes of ordering, really fast for Yangon standards. first came the beef noodles with flat noodles (Ks2,200), the broth was filled with beefy goodness but at the same time, clear and refreshing, really similar to the ones I had at <a href="http://doggyjamessays.blogspot.com/2009/10/kuang-fei-beef-noodles-tangkak.html">Kuang Fei</a> back home.The dish was filled generously with thick beef slices too, really value for money.<br />

Next to come was the completely opposite to the clear, refreshing beef noodles, pork colon noodles (Ks2,200). The soup was thick and chunky, filled with pieces of pork intestines and the noddles, chewy and bouncing in my mouth. Add in some of the pork skins and I had my first mouthful of gang-bang in Yangon.<br />

Last but not least, the quin-essential of Burmese noodles, Sett-Che or dry noodles (Ks1,800), served here with a spoonful of chicken broth and bits of roast pork. Again really chewy, simple yet flavorful dish.<br />

We ordered a side of spring rolls (Ks2,200) for good measure too but unfortunately, the rolls were too oily and tasteless for me. Maybe its just me as my friends were happily munching them away.<br />

In essence, Happy noodles is probably one of the best places for one to have a taste of all the different noddles dishes in Myammar (there are more than 30 noodle choices on the menu). A lot of side dishes and most of the waiters speak good English. Give this place a try when you are in town.<br />
<br />
Here's a map for you readers. Happy Noodles is located off Inya Road, look out for the big signboard along Inya Road near BME & Burgerjoint. Most English speaking taxi drivers would know the place.<br />

Downtown Yangon is probably my favorite part of town, as <strike>the toilets there are cleaner</strike> most amenities one would expect would be there.<br />
<br />
Blending into the crowd, I would be easily be looked as a local guy if not for my <strike>stupid-ness in learning the local language</strike> tourist-sy clothing and pose. No matter what one would say about this beautiful city, I still feel as if it is my first day in town, discovering something new every time I take a walk be it a new restaurant, teahouse, temple or just the great energy locals have here.<br />

The market in downtown is truly something every tourist must experience. Although the vendors are selling similiar items compared to ones in Malaysia, the vibe is just amazingly different. One of my favorite spots to get fresh seafood, even the auntie knows me now and what is my usual! Fresh giant prawns for less than USD1 a piece anyone?<br />

While I would not say I want to stay here for the rest of my lives, it is a good break from the hustle & bustle of a major Asian metropolitan city. Walking around town, chilling in a local teahouse with a local cigarette and a hot bowl of mohinga, there is nothing I want more for day out in town.<br />

One food option which reminds me most of home is probably what every Burmese national have been having for the most of their lives, and it's surprisingly very similar to mixed rice, or <i>nasi campur</i> I used to get back home.<br />
<br />
There are no proper name for these kind of establishment, people here just call them tea houses and there are no short supply them them in Yangon, every single street here no matter main roads or small backlane alleys are filled with these little shops, usually with just a few tables and short stools for a quick lunch, or just hanging around sipping tea, very similar to KL's<i> mamak stalls</i>.<br />
<br />
There is one place I have grown accustomed to during my time here, without even knowing the name. Located just around the corner from my office, this is where most of my colleagues come for lunch, or goes missing during the 3-4pm unofficial tea time.<br />

Being a foreigner with absolutely zero knowledge of the local language, what I always do is to go up to the food and point out which one I'd have for the meal. Good thing the show owner understands my silly gestures and seems to have very good patience putting up with this idiotic foreigner looking and slowly deciding what he'd have while blocking everyone else's way. (I am about 2 times the size of an average Burmese person, so there)<br />

It is worth noting that most of the dishes which accompany the customary rice here is usually curry, notoriously loaded with an unhealthy amount of oil I might add! Apparently the reason behind that is the generosity of oil poured onto their food reflects the shop owner's generosity. Who am I to judge then?<br />
<br />
Lunch here typically comes with a bowl of clear broth, and also raw vegetables with hot dipping sauce. I have never had the guts to consume those raw vegetables but the soups were usually very delicious, even for a hot, humid day! <br />

It is worth noting that most of these dishes come in a very, very small portion, you would get a piece of lamb and a piece of potato if you order the lamb curry, or just a few small pieces of anchovies if you decide on those. That being said, despite the oiliness, I always enjoyed the meat curries here though I have never fancied fried anchovies even back home. This is really the case of if it looks good, eat it!<br />

One thing which really surprised me in Myanmar is the rice. The best rice I've ever had, anywhere else! I have grown up with Thai fragrant rice and Japanese rice but seriously, Burmese rice is in a league of their own. They are really fluffy, and releases an almost hypnotic aroma which you would not find anywhere else.<br />

Prices here are very cheap considering the variety of food available, and this shop is located in the city centre. The bill came to around 4,500Ks or slightly over USD8, enough to feed four person.<br />

I have fallen in love with the local food in Yangon since I arrived little over 2 months ago and although I wouldn't mind having Burmese food for lunch everyday, the stomach was craving for something a little different. So one fine afternoon when work in the office was not too demanding, I decided to drop by this place, located in an old school bungalow among Yangon's elites.<br />
<br />
The restaurant serves tex-mex favorites such as quesadillas, tacos and burritos in a modest setting among the pretty buildings around the area. Rattan chairs and wooden tables provide a simple yet comfortable among the hustle and bustle of the big city, among with a lot of greens in its garden. Air conditioning was not available due to the small generator they have, but I was not complaining as I enjoyed sitting outdoors anyways.<br />

The menu here is quite interesting. You get to customize your own meals, from the type of meat (beef, pork, chicken) to the toppings (beans, salsa, rice etc). I decided to get a burrito (Ks3,000) with the works (mexican rice, cheese, black beans, mango salsa). Preparation took little more than 10 minutes and before I knew it, I was having one of the best burritos I had ever had washed down with their delightful American style iced tea (Ks500). The burritos was filled with generous portion of ingredients, the meat was well marinated and the combination of ingredients would give anyone a mouthful of orgasms. One portion was enough to fill one's stomach for a few hours but being the greedy pig I am, I decided to go for another order, this time a beef taco again with the works.<br />

The Taco (Ks2,200), despite smelling and looking really good, was a bit of a disappointment for me. The taco shell was crunchy but was obviously store-bought. The beef tasted really dry this time, probably because the ingredients were not wrapped together like the burrito. And they could be a little more generous with the sour cream, the cheddar cheese I ordered was missing as well. <i> I went back to Sai's a few days later however and ordered the soft taco instead, and the soft one tasted really good.</i><br />

It was a decent surprise to find a decent Tex-Mex restaurant in Myanmar, even in KL I had trouble finding one. The restaurant is quite hidden and the small signage is the only clue on locating the place. Food quality and value wise, one of the best in Yangon. Best of all, home delivery is available for an extra Ks2,000!<br />

This is where the locals ate for the past few decades and from what I heard from colleagues, although hygiene maybe an issue, the food offered at these stalls are generally very tasty and cheap. Fits my bill just right so I've made a point to check out one of these stalls near my office during lunch time.<br />

One of the most common food at these stalls are See-Chat or dried rice noodles, usually served with a simple sauce made from fish sauce, oil and a dash of soya sauce. Really good stuff this, simple yet delicious. The noodles are very light and springy, much like a very good kuey teow back home in Malaysia. And the pricing is very competitive as well, usually around Ks700 for a serving, or about USD1. The noodles usually comes with a bowl of hot chicken or pork broth knows as sup pyote and a side of cold cabbage salad.<br />

Most locals are content with just the see chat, but not us Malaysians. A side order of kyat or fried chicken dish and hin dee hin ywet or fried vegetables were in order. The chicken dish was stirfried with onions, carrots and long beans with a little bit of soya sauce and the vegetables with a sauce made from soya sauce and tomatoes. The cost? less than Ks 1000 or USD1.50 for each.<br />

Like I said before, good food comes in run down, dodgy looking road side stalls. With see-chat at least, that's the case in Yangon!<br />
<br />
doggyjames says...these stalls can be found all over the streets of Yangon, and you will never go wrong with the see chat here. I say try it while you are in Yangon and if you are lucky enough not to catch any stomach virus, this would be one of the most memorable meals of your life!<br />

It almost seems like there are no franchised eateries at all. Then I notice this brand name all over town, YKKO, a local franchise specialized in Burmese noodles and BBQ. I made it a point to try out one of these outlets as there is nothing I like more than a hot bowl of noodles soup on a lazy morning.<br />
<br />
One late morning after <strike>countless amount of alcohol the night before</strike> a good night's sleep, I finally get to try this place. <strike>Hangover</strike> a good night's sleep and hot soup, there is no other better combination.<br />
<br />
The YKKO branch I visited was in <a href="http://www.junctioncentregroup.com/">Junction Squar</a>e, where I do my weekly grocery shopping. It was about 2pm and the lunch crowd was just leaving so it was relatively easy to get a seat. Environment was nice and cozy, and the wonder smell from the kitchen was intoxicating indeed.<br />

I decided on a standard kyah-oh, vermicelli noodle in a bowl of fragrant pork & fish based soup with loads of pork balls, minced pork, pork intestines and a quill egg or 2. kyah-oh is apparently one of Myanmar's national dish, simple yet taste great. This being a franchised restaurant there were quite a bit of MSGs in the soup but the meat portions was really generous, and for the first time I almost couldn't finish my meal! A standard chili sauce, which is much more fragrant with the strong presence of garlic and onions was served to go with the noodles.<br />

And then I found something in the soup that I did not expect at all...pork brains! I have only eaten pork brains on a few rare occasions before this but I must say, this is surprisingly one of the best I have ever tasted! It's fresh, fragrant and the textures superbly smooth and custardy!<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">And the price? Less than 3000Kyats or USD 4 a portion! I must say It would seem expensive for local standards but considering the fact that this is an air conditioned franchised restaurant, it was not too bad at all.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">YKKO has over 10 branches across Yangon alone, and it is hard to pass by a day without seeing a branch. The one I went to was in Junction Square but the list of YKKO branches can be found in the website below.</span><br />

I am now in Yangon for a month now and let me introduce one of Yangon's most famous night activities....eating!<br />
<br />
One of the first place I was brought to is 19th Street in Downtown Yangon, famously known as BBQ street for well...the sheer amount of BBQ shops here! Any taxi driver would know this place so you need not be scared not being able to find the place!<br />

The particular shop I went to is called Win Restaurant, a typical Myanmar BBQ shop set up with a few wooden tables and stools with a bbq stand outside this shop with cheap beer on sale (the most popular beer here is Myanmar beer, about 1,500Kyats or USD2). Think of Jalan Alor without the airconditioning and minimal amount of tourist.<br />

For 3 person we order a rather large meal consisting of fried flat noodles (something like Malaysia's Char Kuey Teow but with less dark soya sauce and tonnes of meat!), BBQ items including squid, chicken meat & ass, pork ribs, quill eggs, vegetables and a rather decent sized talipia fish, which standard size is about 1kg each filled with herbs, lemon and cilli. That and a large serving of kangkung fried with garlic for good measure. oh and there is a dish of Burmese style omelet somewhere in the picture.<br />

And how much did all these yummies, plus 6 large bottles of cold, refreshing Myanmar beer cost? About 24,000Kyats (USD28). Would say it's the cheapest in the world but hey, surely much more affordable than KL! The prices varies but would be cheaper at places where there are no tourists.<br />
<br />
I must say Myanmar is a hidden foodies paradise. More food adventures from Yangon coming up very soon!<br />
<br />
No maps for this one because of diplomatic issues between Myanmar & Google, lol.<br />

One of the best places for Bak Kut Teh outside Klang for me is this humble little place, Ah Sang BKT located just a few minutes away from my new office (yipee!). Though it is no where near as awesome as my favorite ones in Klang, it still hold up against many of the other BKT shops out there. Plus the setting is really nice and old school, one would easily think one is in Klang when dines here.<br />

The soup here belongs to its own league to me. Far different from the ones in Klang which I am accustomed to, the soup here has a really rich herbal taste which some might even find little bit too bitter. Fine for me though. The meat is really fresh and cooked to tender perfection. Another good thing here is that they offer oily rice as well, similar to the ones in Klang at no extra cost!</div>

However with the new fast food restaurants, new age Middle Eastern cafes mushrooming in the city center, it's good that some of the more traditional street food are still in operation and frankly, doing quite well.<br />
<br />
One of such places is Ngau Kee Beef Noodle stall in Tengkat Tong Shin, just next to Changkat Bukit Bintang where I always grab a pint or 5 from. And 7 out of 10 times after a barrage of pints I'll head on to Ngau Kee, which is less than a 5 minutes walk away from CBB. Don't expect air-conditioned rooms or post leather seats, it's just a simple roadside set up with a few plastic chairs and tables scattered around the stall itself.<br />

Beef noddles here are similar to those served at <a href="http://doggyjamessays.blogspot.com/2011/05/soong-kee-beef-ball-noodles-majid-jamek.html">Song Kee</a>. Dry Noodles with your choice of noodles (normally loushu fun, hor fun or thin yellow noodles) with a generous splash of meat sauce made with mainly soy sauce and minced pork which you'd mix by yourself. U do get the standard bowl of pork meatball in clear broth as well, and if you want, do order extra portions of "spare parts" parts e.g. tribe and liver!<br />

A small portion of standard noodle here starts from RM6 and comes in medium & large servings as well. Options to add more parts into your noodles are available of course, for a fee. Not too shabby and definitely better than a bucket of fried chicken for after drinks meal hehe. Prices in detail as below:<br />

It has always been a family tradition for me to have <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">BKT</span> there for at least once a month but sadly, I have not been able to do that because of work commitments and moving out of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Klang</span>...and then, I found out they have a branch in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Kepong</span>, quite near to my office place now.<br /><br />I have always been critical of franchised or branched out foods, just thinking of the millions of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">kopitiams</span> mushrooming in the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Klang</span> Valley all claiming to offer "original" <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Ipoh</span> white coffee gives me the shivers when one mentions franchise food. Which is why it took me more than a few months before stepping into this place, despite the place being less than 100 steps away from the office.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivY6vGL1Lz2gKGBmBtixbEw5WCUsB-rFWmeZnvdGVq8XzipZKBYvfVrlvRgl9HE8IGkbrv9c7R13wuwmxEDL47cC0UR-ezb1FEL8VCBONzSaXa8CyDi4MMKSOhNQja09jyOqzUvzYTOuM4/s1600/IMG_1611.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivY6vGL1Lz2gKGBmBtixbEw5WCUsB-rFWmeZnvdGVq8XzipZKBYvfVrlvRgl9HE8IGkbrv9c7R13wuwmxEDL47cC0UR-ezb1FEL8VCBONzSaXa8CyDi4MMKSOhNQja09jyOqzUvzYTOuM4/s320/IMG_1611.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5732281512544310402" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Upon entering the restaurant, me and my workmates were presented with a menu to choose our meats and vegetables, something unheard of in a proper <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Klang</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">BKT</span> shop. Urged by hunger, I decided to order on behalf of all of us, including my favorite <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">sam</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">chan</span> yuk (belly meat), <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">sui</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">kut</span> (small bones) and pun <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">fei</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">sau</span> (fatty meat). Also, a bowl of golden mushrooms for good measure.<br /><br />Our <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">BKT</span> arrived in a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">claypot</span>, another <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">distinctive</span> difference from the original one in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">Klang</span>, which serves their <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">BKT</span> in small bowls only. I was quite alright with this actually as I prefer <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">claypots</span> because it is easier to share and of course, more soup for us to enjoy. The taste of soup was slightly different from the original one, well in fact the soup was a little too weak for me, but my non-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">Klang</span> workmates were OK with the taste. the meat was cooked well considering it was afternoon and they probably had the whole morning to bath in the hot soup. It's not too bad considering we were out of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">Klang</span>.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6iIa3qylbaxuBRuo2lQS7x6g1ulM7n5oJeS_ATEO1n5Nbhs-qK6mN0vhJm0nIR_hc4R9ZD2ICLQNAt3EN6YdX81FOCwS1qxBDNSZUrM0sPFxQHSUaD0GEj-P3PMtxYS_855iMIGlWALQ6/s1600/IMG_1612.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6iIa3qylbaxuBRuo2lQS7x6g1ulM7n5oJeS_ATEO1n5Nbhs-qK6mN0vhJm0nIR_hc4R9ZD2ICLQNAt3EN6YdX81FOCwS1qxBDNSZUrM0sPFxQHSUaD0GEj-P3PMtxYS_855iMIGlWALQ6/s320/IMG_1612.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5732283814762142114" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The golden mushrooms were alright, though I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31">didn't</span> really enjoyed it (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32">Klangnites</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33">don't</span> take mushrooms with their <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34">BKT</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35">heh</span>).<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVCDXAq2jJGj8CIDGMDtSrAg5w4KK9ZTPyKNlGk-Owkj0Bp70v9jiwQeO14N9VF0uZ2_iWfFfYxp6kNzyzJMVeBQ1HHv1ZjPBiAED7hALYxIF-Ar0Zp1p8L-znOYxiII9CELfTDS2Z8-v4/s1600/IMG_1614.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVCDXAq2jJGj8CIDGMDtSrAg5w4KK9ZTPyKNlGk-Owkj0Bp70v9jiwQeO14N9VF0uZ2_iWfFfYxp6kNzyzJMVeBQ1HHv1ZjPBiAED7hALYxIF-Ar0Zp1p8L-znOYxiII9CELfTDS2Z8-v4/s320/IMG_1614.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5732283834682850306" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />In a nutshell, I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36">wouldn't</span> mind visiting the place again during lunch although it's not as good as the one in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_37">Klang</span>.

Unlike most modern establishments, the waiters here are all locals who speak perfect Japanese and would make the best recommendations for you.<br /><br />We started off with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Miso</span> Soup and Baked <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Onigiri</span>. The soup was really flavourful and remember to tell the waiter how thick you like your soup to be, I had mine extra thick.

The different cuts and marinated bits of beef were all very very good. The meat was flavorful and tender, the marinates done just right and if you are lucky, they would have beef tendons in stock which I absolutely adore. The must have however, would be the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">miso</span> marinated beef ribs. These are slightly more expensive than the other items but trust me, you would remember the experience for life.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuU1jsSf2yHMaRh_cA24VrIoRQPIj3J7Bd99mG3tisdPynC5srcrQDedMWSnQ2O8hacUn9_VvLAu-Ck9L2VrL1klrK0oyliczQjvJg3lFB_ECiotY4E1hPHK9tYmaRZED8F0mJZsvI8eT7/s1600/IMG_0113.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuU1jsSf2yHMaRh_cA24VrIoRQPIj3J7Bd99mG3tisdPynC5srcrQDedMWSnQ2O8hacUn9_VvLAu-Ck9L2VrL1klrK0oyliczQjvJg3lFB_ECiotY4E1hPHK9tYmaRZED8F0mJZsvI8eT7/s320/IMG_0113.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702987458047200834" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaGTSxQH125j6unxZwjqSxaevk0nkuaJZnpjGzjTZ1y-UBqQDtU6MMi4ravV1oydqCIqONqTsShdHrvwqW41uwhA0vYtpR3MtW5Y-uqjC_jVFTQ-0UmqBcc1OHhZ42zH11yBCYH5taarP5/s1600/IMG_0118.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaGTSxQH125j6unxZwjqSxaevk0nkuaJZnpjGzjTZ1y-UBqQDtU6MMi4ravV1oydqCIqONqTsShdHrvwqW41uwhA0vYtpR3MtW5Y-uqjC_jVFTQ-0UmqBcc1OHhZ42zH11yBCYH5taarP5/s320/IMG_0118.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702987492239738930" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8PuLz-NV3FrZZWN_qa1npVUzyu9Z7h_oI0P4o4OeIbvAqyNeCQ62hO4ik8i7pE2z8SJa93GyOEUocvT3NIjUgGMdQCZDP8FM7h8Cj11cUcbxN-ZW3ARCw_FSluc465FiZWtxFG8NziNpM/s1600/IMG_0117.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8PuLz-NV3FrZZWN_qa1npVUzyu9Z7h_oI0P4o4OeIbvAqyNeCQ62hO4ik8i7pE2z8SJa93GyOEUocvT3NIjUgGMdQCZDP8FM7h8Cj11cUcbxN-ZW3ARCw_FSluc465FiZWtxFG8NziNpM/s320/IMG_0117.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702987462797377986" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHroOtZ8GpWlpVMhWJOXmSPBAFlDZAqMuqyClQMTI0qc9r4SOXUyCd5DSvoSNQ8plULS9jOXEdjWdZCk5QYBqBL9ElBoTR1fTkhxQY17lOYdIcbdMrycWFloFAoPS3vzayDTxIj5MZUmse/s1600/IMG_0122.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHroOtZ8GpWlpVMhWJOXmSPBAFlDZAqMuqyClQMTI0qc9r4SOXUyCd5DSvoSNQ8plULS9jOXEdjWdZCk5QYBqBL9ElBoTR1fTkhxQY17lOYdIcbdMrycWFloFAoPS3vzayDTxIj5MZUmse/s320/IMG_0122.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702987491847509346" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The pork belly here is a must have too. fatty, aromatic with a nice portion of lean meat on it, the taste is simply magnificent.

The cool drizzling weather allows for a hot bowl of soup fortunately. The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Misotan</span> (RM28) is meant for 2 person here so its fine with us. The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">miso</span> soup here is pretty basic but good, one could taste real <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">miso</span> paste being used and the slight hint of Bonito broth used to prepare the soup. A good belly warming bowl of soup this one.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgZL9qM6TkFwlswjxQFNLX5Clned03e2SYlhS3tU5iyPUT2NUKEwJ4rb4ZRvWiD_y7HLMiUKJPQ8qSTf8XHzqcjLx8rzPEstVdlWB4OaHaGGz_DpeU7-VRpHGSygBWlsGPMTyDWbGVzAxr/s1600/PB130036.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgZL9qM6TkFwlswjxQFNLX5Clned03e2SYlhS3tU5iyPUT2NUKEwJ4rb4ZRvWiD_y7HLMiUKJPQ8qSTf8XHzqcjLx8rzPEstVdlWB4OaHaGGz_DpeU7-VRpHGSygBWlsGPMTyDWbGVzAxr/s320/PB130036.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687374937126407634" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And with our <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">bellys</span> properly warmed up, we moved on to the BBQ items.

The <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">tongue</span> is so fresh they could be meant for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">sashimi</span> as is! The charred flavours were more awesome though, beefy, tender and very very aromatic, hard to resist a few more helpings for anyone! The simple lime sauce for the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">tongue</span> were great as well, adds a good kick into your beefy experience!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXZgp0jijP8LV8mjTjabjFWz-nBdPvR8-RxUSv9ro-SkTlwt2EyrgvY4pEfhGYM15_STKTBpVzsb3IfCXPXsL2Grdxo3m3bl2l8B_jccnrHM_BsjwuG8G7pKz46zbsz8l6u2Q7hp-srJAU/s1600/PB130029.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXZgp0jijP8LV8mjTjabjFWz-nBdPvR8-RxUSv9ro-SkTlwt2EyrgvY4pEfhGYM15_STKTBpVzsb3IfCXPXsL2Grdxo3m3bl2l8B_jccnrHM_BsjwuG8G7pKz46zbsz8l6u2Q7hp-srJAU/s320/PB130029.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687376920272084290" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The next dish was one which I look forward to after reading all the review online, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Tokusen</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Yukke</span> or beef <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">sashimi</span> (RM35).

The generous chunk of salmon fillet was served in an aluminum foil and filled with butter for a smooth silky taste. The onions placed under the fish prevents the fish from burning and adds a welcomed aroma to the dish.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht_th3jy0o3Xcf_M5lCEETIrSDhxquFt1A-WsbCja9U6EWyapEAdSIhLCax-SfkxHvCVGX4c1mQPsfDpIPoN5dm6QCbQVYECd-52L-KWkKidouRz-VOhHX6On4p24hy5jigOPvzyq44RHE/s1600/PB130037.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht_th3jy0o3Xcf_M5lCEETIrSDhxquFt1A-WsbCja9U6EWyapEAdSIhLCax-SfkxHvCVGX4c1mQPsfDpIPoN5dm6QCbQVYECd-52L-KWkKidouRz-VOhHX6On4p24hy5jigOPvzyq44RHE/s320/PB130037.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687383669187347186" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Food here is definitely awesome and the dining experiences is out of this world. Though some may think a not so famous restaurant hidden in a quiet suburb is not as good as those famous ones in KL, I beg to differ. I would prefer Japanese BBQ over Korean ones anytime simply because of its choice of beefy cuts and the lack of smokiness around the place. A definite positive recommendation for anyone here.<br /><br />Here's a map of the place for you readers. Kobe is located in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">ss</span>15, the same street as Peppercorn cafe and Old Town White Coffee near Taylor's Business School. Parking in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">ss</span>15 is always hard but you can try parking at the car parks next to the wet market.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipOqL6MYkar3i6tmDOLmWE6Y5eeCMbywrdqlrPDemo-RpKmjjsxSXQeeIEBvmj74A1j14hTqLhiZePlNPqyRjEHPdJLQ1o1ynPerfw-kgz2N6v-kyHSSM4BZqgwfIXn_SGCBoYQ5f52_7E/s1600/kobe+ss15.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 198px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipOqL6MYkar3i6tmDOLmWE6Y5eeCMbywrdqlrPDemo-RpKmjjsxSXQeeIEBvmj74A1j14hTqLhiZePlNPqyRjEHPdJLQ1o1ynPerfw-kgz2N6v-kyHSSM4BZqgwfIXn_SGCBoYQ5f52_7E/s320/kobe+ss15.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687385588619304834" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kobe </span><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">Gyutaku</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">Yakiniku</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> & Steak, </span><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">Subang</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">Jaya</span><br />52, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31">Jalan</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32">ss</span>15/4,<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33">Subang</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34">Jaya</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35">Selangor</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tel:</span> 03-5638 2923<br /><br /><a href="http://www.takumi.com.my">http://www.takumi.com.my</a><br /><br />Advance bookings are advised due to the lack of tables here, but <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36">thats</span> the best part of this place, total privacy!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_37">doggyjames</span> says....Really good authentic Japanese BBQ experience, prices maybe steep for most of us but its really worth it!<br /><br /><br /><br /><!-- nuffnang --><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_38">nuffnang</span>_bid = "18e81c996<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_39">ba</span>0<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_40">ba</span>2c97857c83a24211e4";<br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://synad2.nuffnang.com.my/j.js"></script><br /><!-- nuffnang-->doggyjameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14776690790636258781noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728185079514903421.post-9059722400645372472011-12-10T14:04:00.008+08:002011-12-10T15:00:42.598+08:00Uncle Seng Noodles, ss15Friends. Besides being there for you when you need them the most and a shoulder to hang on when you are in the pits, not to mention making fun of you every chance they get, they are the ones who would bring you to undiscovered eating gems every once in a while. And this week, one of my closest group of friends decided to have lunch at this little hidden gem in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ss</span>15 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Subang</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Jaya</span>, Uncle <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Seng's</span> Home Made Noodles.

<br />The setting of this place is pretty simple, just a few tables probably not more than 15 scattered around a small shop and the kitchen is well hidden behind the shop. It's always crowded during lunch time and expect to wait for more than 30 minutes just to get a seat anytime during lunch hours. Luckily, I was late and the friends saved a seat for me, not before making fun of my awesome time keeping skills.

<br />Being late and rushing to get to our after lunch karaoke session (yes, us guys loved to sing to the likes of The Carpenters and The Beatles), I decided to settle for the basics: Fresh homemade noodles with wantons and BBQ pork loins. After a brief 15 minutes wait, a steaming hot plate of noodles arrived in front of me.

<br />Noodles here are prepared with the simplest ingredients, just noodles, the sides of your choice which would range from BBQ pork, wantons, roasted pork, fried pork to chickens feet and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">chinese</span> mushrooms and a simple soup based sauce. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Chilli</span> sauce can be added for that extra kick but having a slight <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">sorethroat</span> that day, I decided against adding too much <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">chilli</span> sauce. Good thing is the soup based sauce was good enough for me, with just the right hint of sweetness and saltiness. The noodles were fresh and very springy, must have characteristics for homemade noodles.

<br />From RM4.50 a pop, this is probably one of the better tasting homemade noodles available in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Subang</span>. I just wish they were here during my college days, could see myself reporting here everyday when I had limited budget that time. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">LOL</span>
<br />
<br />Here's a map of the place for you readers. Uncle <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Seng's</span> is located near Taylor's Business School in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">ss</span>15, same row as secret recipe with very limited parking.

In short, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Paleo</span> dieters follow a strict diet of more or less eating like how our cavemen forefathers used to: large amount of protein, no processed food, selected spices and drinks (I can live without coffee though so I still drink 2-3 cups a day :p) and large amounts of vegetables. Whilst most dieters go without <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">carbs</span>, I do add in some "healthy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">carbs</span>" into my diet which I feel provides me with a good helping of fuel to burn during my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">gymming</span> sessions. Here are some <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">carbs</span> which could actually help us slim down or achieve our physical goals:<br /><a href="http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/6-carbs-add-diet-help-stay-slim-165600578.html"><br />Good <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Carbs</span></a><br /><br />I now love couscous and wheat pasta :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQOz0HeckIc8YQudcHKGgsYWHPM5H7VYj4AB29OrbHLn4znCkjHDGXTlYeExDqdMtKWE2jNqJSCCV_sAGUqJFhxcSDz4v7fI-H5glVX8YE8c4SKHt2Nr63q4XpO_bud4s1rcMzbciSSaQ0/s1600/couscous.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 209px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQOz0HeckIc8YQudcHKGgsYWHPM5H7VYj4AB29OrbHLn4znCkjHDGXTlYeExDqdMtKWE2jNqJSCCV_sAGUqJFhxcSDz4v7fI-H5glVX8YE8c4SKHt2Nr63q4XpO_bud4s1rcMzbciSSaQ0/s320/couscous.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681826079453065794" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXtD_XVcd-GAStOS6Fav9xDM1cnJt3u51QPYPRACmbABkK5H1eyWd8bJG6N3xpgRvL2D4RWCcQNLCmvizml2Kyp7gLscrH7NjYJJYDSK8GXCqMk4nrOKgifyHiV7WWBnt2EUOMRrIeTwaa/s1600/Whole_Wheat_Pasta.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXtD_XVcd-GAStOS6Fav9xDM1cnJt3u51QPYPRACmbABkK5H1eyWd8bJG6N3xpgRvL2D4RWCcQNLCmvizml2Kyp7gLscrH7NjYJJYDSK8GXCqMk4nrOKgifyHiV7WWBnt2EUOMRrIeTwaa/s320/Whole_Wheat_Pasta.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681826084280212386" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Do have a go at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Paleo</span> diet and try and take in some "good <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">carbs</span>" if you could.

Which is why Park Village, situated in a quiet spot in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Taman</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Intan</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Klang</span> has been one of our favorite dinner spots. It is peaceful, homely and being the only restaurant in the row of offices there, has lots of parking spaces during the weekends.

<br />One soup we would always order is their version of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Lala</span> in Superior Stock. This soup is not the usual ones you get around the country, it has a generous serving of medicinal herbs in it and taste more like a medicinal soup than your usual <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Lala</span> Soup.A perfect way to start off any meal.

<br />A famous dish here is the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Hokkien</span> Noodles (RM 8 for 2 person). The serving was generous enough and there is more than enough Wok <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Hei</span> or heat when they prepare the noodles, making it really aromatic and flavorful. Oh and pork lard were aplenty too, keeping to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Klang</span> standards of oily yet yummy good. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Heh</span>.

<br />The Curry Lamb (RM 16) is a hit too. This is more like a Chinese style curry for you who know how how <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">chinese</span> style curry is like, its not as flavorful as Indian style ones but still packs a punch, yet subtle enough so you won't sweat like a dog, or in this case sweat like <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">doggyjames</span>. woof.

<br />For vegetarians, do try their Vegetarian Dish, direct translation: Buddha's Aroma (RM18). It's <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">actually</span> a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">stir fry</span> of seasonal vegetables, tofu and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">beancurd</span> skins (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">fuchuk</span>). Really flavorful despite the lack of meat and other flavour enhancers. My vegetarian grandma's favorite this one.

<br />Something of a house specialty here, the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Claypot</span> Duck (RM18) is a must try. The duck meat is first fried to give the skin a crispy texture, then braised in a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">claypot</span> with <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">bean paste</span> and spring onions to add in some extra aroma.

<br />German Pork Knuckles (RM42) is served here too. Crispy skin, flavorful and tender meat, all the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">criteria</span> for a good pork knuckle!
