The food hunt started around 10:00am on 27th December and ended at about 11:00pm at night. With our guide, Ken, we manage to to go to KL, Ampang and Damansara areas for this trip. I won’t be able to write a detail review on the the cuisines and dishes that we had on that day. Too many tastes to describe and share, therefore let the photos do the talking.
First Stop, Restoran Santa Chapati House, our Malaysia Prime Minister Mr. Abdullah Badawi favorites place.
We have 3 chapati and 2 roti canai, 1 plate of dhal, 1 pcs of fish with curry, 1 plate of chicken curry with few small chunks of meat. Total damage is RM20 per 4 pax.
Curry Chicken would be the most recommanded among the above.
Hand made roti canai or prata and chapati.

Fish Curry
Chicken meat was tender.
After the light breakfast, we headed towards the famous Meng Kee, which somewhere in the most busy district in KL near Jalan Alor. They are famous for Char Siew or BBQ Pork strips that are made fresh.

Men Kee's Char Siew was truly good, but slightly over sweeten.

Meng Kee's poach chicken. The accompanying sauce was a bit too salty and the meat was abit tough.
Our following destination was the Ampang Yong Taufu. There are 3 Shops selling the same food at the same roll, and Ken prefer this Homeland Ampang Yong Taufu. One of the Famous Yong Taufu in town.
The soup base was light and sweet.
They have varios offerings for the Yong Taufu. My favourite was the freshly deep fried aubergines, the thickness and level of carmelising was just right.
Stuffed aubergines, my favourite when cooked right.
The panadan chicken wings were freshly fried. They were tender and juicy with a hint of pandan fragrance.
After a heavy breakfast and lunch, we went to KLCC for a movie to take a break from the extreme chowing. We watched IP Man at TGV, that movie did not let us down. The cinematography was excellent, the panning of the camera captured the Weng Chun movements and actions with such realism. Two thumbs up for the movie. After the movie we headed toward the next cuisine on the list, pork knuckles. The photos taken at Deutsches Gasthaus damansara was without any flash, therefore do excuse me if the images are abit blur or shaky.
Deutsches Gasthaus's menu
Deep fried Pork Knuckle, we have been bitching Ken after he posted this place.
The meat was tasty and the skin was crsipy, but was slightly dry.
The tendons from the Pork Knuckle.
The Goulash Soup was something different from the one we had at Edelwise.
After Deutsches Gasthaus, we went to Kota Damansara Giant Nachos house for snack and dessert. This shop is just opposite the Wendy’s burger.
Dessert first before dinner.Crazy combination but can't help it as time was running out.
Great Vanilla Ice Cream filled with chocolate chip cookies and laced with lots of chocolate syrup.
Nachos, something light and sour to cleanse our palates.
After all that, we felt that we still have space in our tummy, thus we decided to go opposite Nacho’s to Wendy’s to try their 3/4 pounder. It was better than McD’s Big Mac, but doesn’t beat the blue cheese burger that I had at Tony Romas. But again, they are totally diiferent level of eateries and not a fair comparison, Wendy’d and Tony Roma. Anyway, I was a bit tired from the days activities, and that is why I did not even bother to take any photographs. Then to call it a day, we went to try the chilli pan mee near by, which in fact was the branch of the Super Kitchen Chillie Pan Mee that we had back in October.
Total damage of the day is nearly RM300 for 4 pax.
Anyone interested to join us in the next session neither in KL or Penang? haha, do drop me an email
