China Town Seng Kee Claypot Lou Shee Fun

I am sure i will miss Malaysia food a lot when i am in Singapore. That is why i am trying to savour local food as often as possible while i am still in town now. A very good friend of mine know about this and willing to drive me to an area that i will never go alone, Petaling Street. I do not like the area for "you-know" reason, but i do like the many varieties of good food offered there. Laksa, porridge, chee cheong fun, hokkien mee...u name it. And there's another "wow" factor that attracted me here.....

~ Claypot Lou Shee Fun ~

Before

Stir stir stir

After

I like everything in claypot. I like anything mixed with minced meat, and mixed with raw eggs. So the claypot lou shee fun fits into my favourite food list...There are quite a few places serving this but nowhere beats the version serves here (at least in my humble opinion).

The top of the claypot is full of minced meat. Very generous though. Thick soy sauce and the burnt smell at the bottom of the pot, all were perfect. Yummy! Put in a little bit of cili padi or their sambal belacan....Whoaaaaa!!!!!!!

We did order some side dishes to go with...

Fried dumplings

Crunchy on the outside. Juicy and flavourful on the inside. This version surely beats those served in dim sum place...

Stir Fried 生肠

Honestly we didn't like this. The pig intestines were not Q enough. They used a lot of fried shallots to cover the taste, ended up almost half of the plate were full of the fried shallots.

Totally fail max...

They do serve many other chinese dishes, but we usually stick to the claypot lou shee fun and the fried dumplings. Never want to get disappointed, like what we had for the stir fried 生肠...haha...

BY the way, they are located opposite Hotel Malaya, a few doors next to Hotel Swiss Inn at Petaling Street. You may park at Hotel Malaya though...

My Farewell (IX)

15 April 2010 was my last day in the Firm. I reserved the dinner session for my group members. Thank you Esther who gathered so many people for this dinner. I had fun...and i could see that everyone was having fun too....

They were so happy...why ah?

I really like steamboat. I think i will miss this very much after i go to Singapore...

We were at HO HO Steamboat @ Segambut. I wanted to come here for a special dish actually...

Some extra ingredients we ordered.

Fish slices, pork bacon and some balls...

This is it! The special dish that i mentioned.

Crab roe!

Not cheap, but we had around 20 pax that day so it wouldn't hurt too much...haha....

The fresh roe looked so fake to me actually. I wonder was it really from the crabs....

Cook, cook, cook

Boil, boil, boil

Thank you girls and guys! We had wonderful night that time!

The boss even gave us some free Heineken so we used that to pose! Haha...

See you guys around soon! Good luck to all!

My Farewell (VIII)

Another farewell dinner with my beloved colleagues. This round was with Jessica, Pauline and Yenn Yeen. They were extremely busy with the audit peak periods but still managed to spare out some time to bid farewell to me =)

We went to The Apartment Downtown @ KLCC for a quick dinner, since all of them need to be back to office again after that (this the life of audit professionals!)

The Apartment @ KLCC has 2 floors, with a built-in lift. We were arranged to sit at 2nd floor, with the KLCC fountains as our views. So romantic-nya....haha....

Drink selection wise, i found that it's just pretty normal.

So i ordered Lemonade, to quench the thirst and to wash down the HEAVY meal later...

Me with Pauline

Me with Jess and Yenn Yeen

This is their signature dish, but i forgotten the name

Clams served with breads

Quite a generous portion of clams being served

Fish and Chips!

The chips were nice!

Roasted chicken spaghetti

This is called "Jamie's Roasted Duck Fettucini"

destined for me to order this la....haha....

Very very flavourful and topped with some pine nuts.

A very huge serving, i had some difficulties in finishing it!

A group picture!

Thanks all for the treat!

My Farewell (VII)

I like that the managers in my group are a bunch of funny people. We have been together as a team, leading the team members for quite some years. It is a bit pity to leave a team that has performed well in the Firm. It is a bit sad to leave such a wonderful team.

I was surprised when Ed organised the awesome seafood farewell dinner for me. And the venue? Robson Heights at Taman Seputeh. A restaurant that i read the reviews from floggers. A place that is famous of crabs, my all time favourite!

Some photo session before everyone turned up

Seong Yeen, Mie, Beth, Ju and Mandy

Girl power!

With Ed. We have been in the same firm(s)..haha...

Thanks for the guidance all these years!

with Sam, who is taking over my portfolio

Good luck!

with ManMan

miss our lunches and dinners together!

this is the mixture of Guinness Stout and Heineken

i didn't quite like the taste of this mixture, so easy to get dizzy after drinking it!

This is awesome!

Claypot crabby rice. Need to wait at least 40 minutes for this.

While the crab was a bit tad dry (maybe because it's being "soaked" too long in the claypot), we all loved the rice indeed. Very flavourful.

I really do not know how to describe but it's just wonderful...

A little bit over-oily, but maybe it's this devil that made it so amazing.

I feel like having this for dinner today...haha...

PLEASE EAT ME

Their another signature dish
一枝骨
It was perfectly cooked that the meat was easily stripped off from the bones.
Rich in flavour...

Other dishes to make you drooling!!!!

Steamed 田鸡with Brands essence

Steamed fish

I don't know what fish is this but it tasted good. Afterall i love steamed fish!

Crab again!

Salted egg yolk...1 of my favourite cooking method.

They have another signature dish, Fresh water prawn with tanghoon, but they ran out of fresh water prawn that day, so we swapped it with lobster!

Gigantic!

Another drooling!!!!

So we had have enough...everyone was so full. Another photo session to end the night (not quite!)

with Tuck Wai, my unit leader

Thanks for all your consideration given all these years. Sadly i have never work with him ever since i joined the Firm!

with JC, cute boss =)

with KH, my client once said he looked like a superstar!

We then adjourned to KW's house which is nearby for wine drinking. Didn't manage to snap a lot of pictures cos my camera ran out of battery...

Final 2 photos of the night, with the Wonderful bosses.

Thanks for everything, everything, and everything!

My Farewell (VI)

I never have the chance to try out any decent western breakfast in KL, other than those normal dimsum, chinese-style, nasi lemak and etc. The most "western" kind was those buffet breakfast served in hotel...

My beloved boss (now ex-boss) was supposed to travel overseas on my last work day, so we went for a nice breakfast on a morning before he flew off. Had a long conversation. Talked about my journey past these years in the Firm, how i grew up, and some piece of advice...

What we had :

American Breakfast

Came with scrambled eggs, hash brown, sausages, shitake mushrooms, fruits and basket of breads (croissant, toast bread, muffin etc)

A wholesome goodness for the morning. What you see is a person's portion. Lucky we only ordered 1 portion for sharing =)

Thanks for the guidance that you have provided all these years. I shall remember what you have taught. I shall remember your charmness and i do want to let you know that you are one of the nicest person (employer) that i have known so far....

Thanks for Everything! And thanks for the breakfast!

By the way, we were at Nikko Hotel =)

My Farewell Treat (V)

Friday night, a super jam night after heavy downpour around 4-5 pm. Finished my work and waited for Kim Nyean to come back to office. Straight away headed to Pavilion for our dinner ... already almost 8pm...

I chose to have dinner at Ying Ker Lou, where they have opened new branches in Pavilion and the Gardens. A restaurant specialing in hakka cuisine, always a place that i wanted to try but never step in...

We ordered green tea

It came with a very unique pot with 2 small chinese cups. Very refreshing cos it's not a tea bag, real green tea leaves were used here...

By the way the tea pot was very very heavy...

Me at China ^_^

I had a WonderFULLL dinner here so let's see what we ordered...

Hakka Braised Pork with Black fungus with noodles

Noodles were springy enough. I had a small piece of the pork and found it a bit dry, nevertheless it's still flavourful with the "Nam Yue" taste...And i like the black fungus :)

Ginger egg with chinese yellow wine 黄酒姜蛋

Very strong taste of wine and i like they way they fried the egg, not dry and soft enough.... best eaten with rice and very appetising..

客家算盘子

This is a rather special dish that is already seldom seen being sold in town. It requires a lot of effort to cook this, that's why the serving is pretty small given its price...

Made from yam, and this was the dish that we liked the most cos it's very Q and full of wok-hei...

Hakka Lei-Cha with Brown rice

This turned out to be my favourite dish, i liked the freshness and healthy feeling after eating this. Some people couldn't stand the "green" taste (eg Kim Nyean..hehe..) but i like it so much....

However, we ordered too much (i should say HE ordered too much :P) and i didn't manage to finish this awesome dish...

What a waste!

Another of their recommended dish

A kind of tofu with fish paste on top...

Not too bad...

A table full of goodness for only 2 of us

Thanks Kim Nyean for the treat!

I will never forget this WonderFull dining experience! Haha...
