Golden Claypot Restaurant @ Chai Leng Park
Dec 22nd
Golden Claypot Restaurant at Chai Leng Park was opened about half a year ago with their specialty being dishes served in clay pots. My family tried the food before and they found it to be good, especially the frog legs. Knowing that I like frog legs, they brought me to the restaurant for a try during my last trip back home.
This is the Claypot Kung Pao Frog Legs that was highly recommended. It sure wasn’t cheap with the largest portion costing at RM26 and I think there were only three to four frog legs at most. But, it was definitely worth the try because the dish was as delicious as what was described to me before.
Frog legs were really fresh, in fact one of the freshest I have ever had. If you noticed, the Kung Pao Frog Legs prepared in other Chinese restaurants are usually briefly deep fried first, then stir fried with dried chillis. This shrinks the already very little meat of the frog legs and as well as giving a little crisp to the meat, causing them to lose all the tenderness.
Golden Claypot omitted the deep frying process and the result was a tasty, tender frog legs dish that felt meaty on the palate. The thick and sweet soya sauce also played an important role in flavoring the dish.

Fish Head Curry @ Desa Aman Puri, Kepong
Jun 23rd
It was a rainy evening, which was also the best time to have something warm and spicy. If it came with soup, that’s even better! So, I searched the Internet for good food around Kepong and I came across this Fish Head Curry stall, Ho-HoBi in Desa Aman Puri. It had good reviews and was also featured in 8TV’s HoChak. I watched that particular episode online and decided to try it because it looked really good! Moreover, Desa Aman Puri is only 10 minutes away. So, there’s no reason not to go!
Fong Keow Bak Kut Teh @ Klang
May 8th
A few weeks ago I went to Klang in search of the best Klang Bak Kut Teh. I’ve visited and tried most of the Bak Kut Teh restaurant in Klang, and left only a few more to cover. My first stop was Fong Keow Bak Kut Teh restaurant, which is located in Taman Intan (formerly known as Taman Rashna). In Chinese this place is called “Lan Hua Yuan”.

“Meng Kee” Claypot Chicken Rice
Aug 17th
More food from Kepong to introduce~
I had Claypot Chicken Rice 砂煲鸡饭 for lunch before driving back to Penang on Monday. For Malaysians, there’s no need for introduction to this dish, anyway..
Claypot Chicken Rice is usually a dinner dish in Singapore and Malaysia. It is typically served with Chinese sausage and vegetables. More often than not, the rice is cooked in the claypot first and cooked ingredients like diced chicken and chinese sausage are added in later. Some places serve it with dark soya sauce and also dried salted fish. Salted fish, some claim, enhances the taste of the claypot chicken rice. And even where there are no long queues, given the way the dish is prepared, customers have to wait for at least 30 minutes before the dish is ready.
“Meng Kee” 明记 is located along a small lane between an abandoned building (used to be Parkson) and an old cinema in Kepong Baru. The stall is very simple, with 5-6 tables around and a zinc roof as shade. A small pot serving one costs RM4.50, while the bigger port which can serve up to two costs RM8. You can also order “Yau Choi” and soup too. We ordered Siu Bak Choi and Lotus Soup 莲藕汤. I didn’t taste nor taken any photo of the soup as it didn’t look nice. But according to Siang Leng and her family, it was really good! My loss then I guess 
The “Yau Choi” tastes good and complements the rice very well. Our bill came to RM22+, RM5+ per person with chicken rice, soup and vege.. I think that’s pretty good value for money if you ask me, especially in KL!
