Pork Satay @ Satay Cina Thoo Yuen, PJ Old Town

Date visited : 21 May 2017

Are you craving for some satay... but NON-Halal ones? Well, if you are, then you should definitely try this. 

To those who don't know what Satay is... it's a dish of marinated, skewered and grilled meat served with a sauce. Satay is a very popular dish in Malaysia and it is usually served with cucumbers, onions and even compressed rice or better known as Nasi Impit. In Malaysia, the commonly used meat for satay are chicken, mutton and beef. In some places you will also have uncommon meat like rabbit and deer... and for Chinese operated stalls, you may also find pork meat. Satay in Malaysia are mainly served with thick and chunky peanut sauce.

This round we will introduce to you the NON-Halal, pork satay, at Gerai Satay Cina Thoo Yuen.

This stall is located within the PJ Old Town Food Court, Stall No 36. This stall is run by an elderly couple who have been serving satay here for more than 30 years now. The stall is well maintained and very clean.

Since we arrive quite early, we were able to avoid the dinner crowd and got our orders fulfilled really fast. This time, we ordered both the pork and the mutton satay.

The best thing about these satay was there were no chunks of fat on the meat. The meat on each stick was purely juicy and tender. Some may usually find the taste of mutton overwhelming but this is not the case for the mutton satay here.

The peanut sauce served with their satay has an extra kick in their taste, This is because there is cili padi and dried chilli added in the mix. But don't worry, it's not very spicy. If you run out of sauce, you can always ask them for more.

Restoran R Cheng Fei Zhou Yu Wan Tan Mee, Rawang

Date visited : 13 May 2017

Our next stop is Rawang!

I don't visit Rawang very often as it is considered far from where I live. But when I have the chance, I'll try to stop by this place for lunch. This place is not very easy to find as it is located within a housing area.

When you mention the place Rawang among the foodies, the first thing that most likely comes to their mind would be Steamed Tilapia fish. There are a few popular ones in Rawang but I personally prefers this one... Restoran R Cheng Fei Zhou Yu Wan Tan Mee. 

It has a rather long name to remember. The only thing you need to remember from the name of the restaurant is Fei Zhou Yu (means Tilapia) and Wan Tan Mee.

Their signature dish is obviously the Steamed Tilapia served with Wan Tan Mee. Everyone gets 1 whole Tilapia each and you have 6 flavours to choose from Dark Soy Sauce, Taucu aka Fermented Yellow Soybean Paste Sauce, Golden Needle Mushroom, Deep Fried, Tomyam and Curry. You are also given an option to add Lala (clams) alongside with the Tilapia and Wan Tan Mee.

The one I ordered this time was the Taucu Steamed Tilapia.

And my husband ordered the Deep Fried Tilapia with additional Lala.

If you think the portion is too big for you, you could always order 1 for 2 to share.

Other than the Tilapia Wan Tan Mee dishes, you could also order regular dishes to be eaten with plain rice as well. Their menu is written in chinese but don't worry... their menu has photos of all the dishes. So if you can't speak chinese, just point at the photos to order or you could just ask the person taking your order.
