Malaysian Delights @ 美食吧

Previously this shop used to be Quezon and then a shop selling Taiwanese spicy snacks.

I noticed it recently because they had Penang style prawn noodles.

As well as Malaysian food they also had other cuisines such as Spicy Chongqing noodles and the Chinese noodles with toppings that you choose.

I was quite surprised that they had such a big range in a small shop, but then Quezon had a great range when it was open.

Although there is lots of variety, it is also limited for the time being because they do not offer the full range at the moment.

Took a picture of the product pictures and noticed that they are still using the three pin round socket which I thought would be extinct now!

Three pin round socket!!

Prawn noodles:
The broth was really sweet with strong prawn taste, however the prawns that were given were the frozen ones.

The noodles were the thick yellow ones and really soft if you compare them to the ones at Prawn noodle shop.
There was lots of morning glory in it too.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Laksa noodles:
The noodles contained cuttlefish balls, tofu puffs and egg noodles.
The broth was coconut based.
I am not sure if there are meant to be any shrimps in the noodles because the product picture/sample has shrimps in it.
I wish there was more broth.

Curry chicken:
The colour of the curry was quite nice and there was lots of basil leaves in it.
The coconut was strong and it was freshly grounded coconut.

Laksa and Buk Kut Teh @ 楊氏肉骨茶 YEOH'S BAH KUT TEH

Ordered their house special: Laksa, and the Bah Kut Teh (original).

Laksa:
The soup was strong with coconut, nicely flavoured, not too rich and not too spicy.
The noodles in the laksa was a mixture of rice vermicelli and "oil noodles".
Anyway there were lots of other standard things on the laksa, such as beancurd, prawns,etc.
Personally I liked the soup, but I disliked the noodles, because they don't really soak up the soup, so quite tasteless.

Bah Kut Teh:
There were many versions offered here which was good, especially for non pork eaters. The soup was flavoured just right, not too strong or salty.
To me there was a strong taste of chinese mushrooms (shiitake).
The ribs that came were a little dry, or maybe cos they have been in the pot for quite some time.

Laksa @ 巴沙新加坡小品 Pasar Singaporean Flavour

A pricey menu, but quality is close enough to Katong.

Information wise, I prefer Katong’s menu as its more informative and lists out all the ingredients, so for Pasar, if you’re an experienced eater or know your Singaporean food, then you would roughly know what ingredients are in it, eg seafood Laksa, the basics are big prawns, fish cakes etc.

Anyway for the Laksa supreme, for $68 everything is the same as Katong, except the mung noodles are thinner in diameter, and the soup base is not so spicy and strong. So for those who want to try a good Laksa, which is not so spicy can come here. There is less chilli oil in the soup base too.

Laksa @ 蝦麵店 Prawn Noodle Shop

Basically after trying the prawn noodles, my next item to try here is the Laksa, not spicy at all, the soup is very strong in coconut flavour, but not as rich as the other places.

Noodle wise, I think only the "Mung" noodles can bring out the taste of the Prawn noodles and the laksa, because the ho fun and vermicelli itself over powers the soup here, since it isnt very strong.

Laksa and Buk kut teh @ 馬拉盞星馬美食 Malaysia (Port Klang) Cuisine Limited

Usually I satisfy my Laksa cravings on the Hong Kong side, but after finding out there is one in MK, I decided to give it a try.
Looking at the menu, I felt like I had seen it before, one of the staff looked familiar too, then after enquiring about it, he was the guy from "YEOH'S BAH KUT TEH" in Jordan

Ordered the Pork rib tea and seafood laksa, price wise, it is all cheaper than the ones in Wanchai, ie Pasar and Katong. The laksa soup here is rather bland, nothing like the strong ones in Wanchai, just like the previous review by Kwokmauyan.
The pork rib tea, tasted ok, not strong in herbs, and contained alot of fatty meats.

Also the barley water I ordered way MEGA too sweet, I even poured a third of it into a glass of warm water, and still it was so sweet.

 

Chinese Laksa @ 壹麵館 Eat Garden

This restaurant is always packed with people, and it never crossed my mind to try this place.

However, there were not many customers that day, so I gave it a try.

I entered the restaurant as you would normally do, however I waited for ages and no-one came to take me to a table.
After a while, someone finally took me to a table, and then I tried to order, but it turns out you have to go to the counter and pay for it then sit down.

After discovering that, I went to the counter and ordered a Laksa including a drink for $28.

Then after a while I was served and had no expectations for this place.
I made the mistake of ordering ramen because the noodles looked like Shanghai noodles and instant noodles would probably taste better with the laksa soup.
The fried egg was so Chinese and the presentation could have been better without those chilli oil spots splattered all over the rim of the bowl.

Banana fritters and Laksa @ Ma Thai

As mentioned in my earlier review, I would revisit this place to try either the Laksa or the Buk Ku Teh.
So this time I tried the Laksa, just to compare with the other places I had before.

For a bowl of Laksa, it was priced at $60, which is the average Laksa price in Hong Kong for a seafood one. As shown on the picture, the seafood, were the frozen ones as expected with no taste, boiled and placed on top of the noodles when served.

The prawns were the peeled types, which were convenient, the only draw back, is that it doesn’t have that prawn taste.

Anyway tasted better than I expected, the soup was much stronger, it was thick and full bodied, creamy, but not too strong of coconut.
The noodles were the thick white ones like spaghetti, they were soft and flavoured from the soup.
The tofu was slightly harder and chewier than preferred, the soup was not spicy at all, so anyone who cannot eat spicy laksa, can try it here.

For dessert I had coconut banana fritters, the batter was just right, light and crispy, inside with pureed banana, and topped with lots of desiccated coconut. The sweetness was acceptable.
Quite a good dessert too.
