Kung Wo Dou Bun Chong (Soya Bean Products) @ Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong
Nov 7th
Kung Wo Soya Bean Products (公和荳品廠) at Sham Shui Po is one of my more memorable eats in Hong Kong thanks to their unique Tau Fu Fa. Like the shop’s name suggest, Kung Wo is an everything soy-related kind of factory cum eatery so they also sells raw ingredients like beancurds and beansprouts.
The Tau Fu Fa is of course soft and silky smooth as expected and tastes just slightly sweet with only a small drizzle of sugar syrup. I believe it is made this way so that the sweetness will not overpower the subtle soy flavor. And actually it is the “red sugar” that makes it one of a kind for me.
Ah Di Flying Wantan Mee @ Kedai Kopi Peng Kee Baru, Taman Usahawan Kepong
Nov 3rd
This has got to be the nicest Wantan Mee I have had in a long time. It is a small stall in an inconspicuous coffee shop at Kepong, operated by a husband and wife team. Well if you remember, I blogged about the Flying Wantan Mee in Seapark where the cook would literally airborne the noodles after he runs it over cold water. That is also somewhat practiced here. I have to admit that is the main reason I went to check this out, to see the stunt for myself. But never would I have expected the Wantan Mee to taste so good, in fact even better than the Seapark one.
- Basically, it has fulfilled all my criterias of being a good Wantan Mee:
- The noodle is thin, crisp with a QQ texture and doesn’t stick together. Nice for slurping.
- No funny alkaline taste.
- Uses lard so got that nice fragrance.
- Not oily at all.
- Each shrimp wonton has a whole succulent and fresh shrimp inside. Soup does not taste heavy of MSG, really has the sweet shrimp flavor.
Now I can’t say much about the Char Siew since I didn’t try theirs but as far as noodles and wanton go this is definitely better than Seapark’s.
Give-away: RM5 for 2 Cups of Bubble Tea at Yippee Cup Vouchers by DealCity
Nov 1st
The truth is, a blog is nothing without readers. I know this very well so as a token of appreciation of your continuous support, I am giving away 50 vouchers from DealCity. FYI each voucher costs RM5 each and will entitle you to 2 cups of Bubble Milk Tea (MT) of your choice from Yippee Cup worth equivalent to RM5.90 each cup (RM11.80 value). If you have bought anything from group buying/deal sites you should very well know how this works.
Yippee Cup Voucher from DealCity
There is absolutely no catch to this and you won’t have to pay a single cent. As long as you are based in Klang Valley then you are eligible for the free vouchers. All you need to do to participate is:
- Sign up as a member of DealCityMalaysia
- Like DealCityMalaysia‘s Facebook Page
- Submit a comment eg. “I want Bubble Milk Tea!” at the end of this post with your email entered correctly in the comment section.
If you are the first 50 people to do so then you will get your voucher emailed to you later. It’s as easy as that! Absolutely no catch at all. But of course I will be doing some checks to ensure that there is only one redemption per email and IP address. You know, for fairness sake.

If you’re wondering why I am choosing to give away vouchers for Yippee Cup, it is simply because I find their MT nice and worth recommending. FYI, Yippee Cup is a 100% Malaysian brand and not some franchise Bubble Tea brought in from HK or Taiwan, which is also one of the reasons they have my support. If you haven’t tried Yippee Cup before why not take this opportunity to do so? All the ingredients used to prepare the Bubble MT are carefully selected and imported from Taiwan to ensure the highest possible quality. It tastes as authentic as it could get.
Claypot Pepper Bak Kut Teh @ Sekmechoy Restaurant, Bandar Manjalara
Oct 30th
Sekmechoy, a restaurant that has its roots at Salak South specializing in Claypot Pepper Bak Kut Teh is the latest addition to the huge list of Bak Kut Teh restaurants in Kepong. But first let me just say that if you do could not afford to be the earliest customer or wait for at least one hour during peak periods, you can forget about eating here because they are currently understaffed as well as overwhelmed with customers. Getting a table would be the least of your concerns, as the food is getting out of the kitchen really slowly. Luckily the food was very good and quite worth the wait, else I would have been cranky.
I know I have said some bad things about pepper based Bak Kut Teh in the past. But after trying Sekmechoy’s I have to take back those words now. Although it tastes very different from the herbal version, there is no doubt it is still delicious in its own way. I find the clear broth’s peppery flavor spot on and not too overpowering, which I think is why it tastes acceptable for me. Each portion costs RM11.
