Welcome to Malaysian Food Guide

Malaysian is not only famous for variety of delicious local food but also food from some other countries. This time, malaysianfoodguide would like to highlight a authentic chinese restaurant located somewhere at Off Jln Pudu. Jln Pudu has two rows of Chinese restaurant operated by Chinese from mainland China and Hong Kong… To be exact, it should be opposite Pudu Jail, on the Berjaya Time Square side.

Last week, we visited a shop by the name of -æ°´ 餃 大 王 (”King of Dumplings”) . When I talk about dumpling here, please don’t misunderstand it to be anything close to or looking like the following. I am refering to 餃 子 (”jiau zhi”) in Chinese. It looks like wantan, but it’s bigger and definitely more delicious than wantan.

The shop owner originated from northern east of China.This restaurant also serve typical Chinese food such as cold dish, soup,meat and vege apart from dumplings. Due to the cool weather in Northern East of China, most of the food are quite heaty.

If you are a typical Malaysian, you might not walk into restaurants like this. Why? Because there may not be many people seated there. See that guy over there… he is still thinking whether to go in or not. Generally Malaysians like to follow the crowd? Am I right? So what happens if you see an empty shop like this? We try to avoid that, thinking the crowd would probably know what best to eat. But then again, we are talking about food lovers here and also food lovers who have read a review from MalaysianFoodGuide, I bet you guys are very daring bunch.

A menu full of whatever you cannot get in Malaysia. Oh… bring a translator if you wanted to read the menu.It’s all in Chinese. Bring one that can read traditional Chinese character. They serve not only fine food, but also rare items, such as dishes cooked with mushroom you can only find in China (yes they got some pass through the customs:) ) . They even have this strange Chinese dish, which is made from PIG SKIN , which they put in the refrigerator… and guess what’s it for? It’s for the ladies to rejuvenate their youthfulness!!! Ha… you never know that right (no offence to any Muslim readers)

We ordered a cold dish(涼 菜 ) made from slices of potatoes (土 豆 çµ² ), a special northern east chicken mushroom soup and one of the specialty from this shop - ç´… 燒 獅 子 é ­ (’lion head’). Of course, we ordered two different tastes of dumplings. Lion Head is actually a mixture of minced chicken with water chestnut boiled in ’special’ soup.-RM24.00. 7/10 is how I would rate this. Maybe its kind of too meaty for us.

See that plate on the left? Initially when I looked at it, I have no idea what it was. This is actually potato… sliced into sizes as thin as thread? Maybe a little thicker than that, say the size of mee hoon. Now, potato looking like mee hoon. How does it taste like? MARVELOUS! This potato dish here is what the Chinese categories them as 涼 菜 “liang chai” or cooling vegetable. It’s meant to balance whatever you have eaten for example the lion’s head. It is cooked with garlic and vinegar, perfect match for chinese dumplings- RM6.00 for potato slices and RM5 for 10 pieces of dumplings. The potato gets my 9/10 and dumpling is 9.5/10. I might be a little bias since I do enjoy this dumpling very much

While this is a dish cooked with chicken from Malaysia, they are no less special. 家 雞 蘑 菇 湯 Kampung chicken (Ipoh Chicken) with mushroom soup is the dish which is cooked with the rare mushroom I was referring to - RM18.00. It taste kind of nice . 8/10 is a fair point here.

If you are heading to this restaurant, I suggest you bring at least 3 people. 4 is the best. The serving is good for 4 actually. The whole deal we had was only about RM 60. So its kind of affordable if you bring enough mouths.

Cheers!
