A Little Dim Sum Place @ SS2 Petaling Jaya
Oct 19th
A Little Dim Sum Place at SS2 is yet another recommendation from a reader – M@Y, who told to me that this is her favorite place for dim sum. Like always, if there’s good food being recommended and it isn’t too far for me – I will definitely try it. So keep the suggestions coming!
I actually imagined A Little Dim Sum Place to be a typical tea restaurant like any other dim sum outlet. But to my surprise it turned out to be a small and packed restaurant, just like its name implies.
My first impression upon seeing the menu prices was that A Little Dim Sum Place is not a cheap place. With that, I could only hope their food is good and hence justified by the prices we are paying. Luckily the first dim sum – King Of Shiu Mai @ RM5.50 delivered with flying colors.
Big, fleshy and most importantly fresh prawns were stacked on each other to create this delectable siu mai. Bursting with flavors and served piping hot, I don’t know what’s there not to like about it.
Sweet Dragon Beard @ RM3.60 – was a dim sum that seemed more like a dessert to me.It is actually a 50-50 combination of banana and red bean paste rolled in crunchy strands of sugar (the Dragon Beard) Quite interesting for me considering it was my first time trying, and it was quite good too.
RM10 Eat All You Can Durian @ Donald’s Durian, SS2
Jul 14th
It’s durian season again. And since I have never been to any durian buffet (or better known as eat all you can durian here in KL) I decided to have give it a try at one of the many stalls located at SS2. So far I haven’t seen this eat all you can durian thingy in Penang before, maybe that’s because Penang is selling it at RM1 each lol.
Located a stone throw’s away from SS2′s police station near the rows of bridal shops are three durian stalls having their very own durian buffets. For RM10 you can MAKAN SAMPAI KENYANG. Before you get all excited about feasting on Hor Lor and Ang Heh (Red Prawn), keep in mind that only Durian Kampung is served for the buffet at this price.
DurianSS2 offers the cheapest eat all you can around @ RM9 for Durian Kampung only. But because the promotion started during lunch time around 1pm, the durians were completely sold off when we reached there at 8pm. The only other promotion going on was RM15 for D24 durians. We didn’t take it and walked to the next stall, Donald’s Durian. Click here to continue reading >
Penang Curry Mee @ Restaurant Lorong Seratus Tahun, SS2
May 17th
Yesterday I had a sudden crave for Penang Curry Mee, which prompted me to drive all the way to SS2‘s Lorong Seratus Tahun Curry Mee restaurant to have a quick lunch before proceeding to my appointment later in Damansara Utama.
The last time I tried their curry mee was more than a year ago at the stall in Penang. I liked it a lot and was hoping to enjoyable experience at SS2 too.
The stall in Penang only serves curry mee but at SS2, they have char koay teow, otak-otak, loh bak, prawn mee and many other Penang hawker food as side dishes. I guess if you are operating a restaurant in PJ area you cannot afford to sell curry mee alone. There had to be a diversification to provide more food choices as well as prompting customers to return to try the other dishes.
I read from somewhere that their Penang otak-otak was pretty good and it was true. The otak-otak @ RM3.50, served fresh and hot had several chunks of fish meat, a soft and squishy texture and tasted spicy – just the way I like it.
The first thing I looked for in the menu was the Penang Curry Mee, which shockingly cost RM5.90 a bowl. Wow, it’s really cafe priced now, costing almost double the one back in Penang. Well, this is understandable because of the raw ingredients and shop rental cost in PJ would definitely be higher compared to Penang. I don’t mind paying as long as I get to satisfy my crave lol.
Then came the disappointment. The noodles was undercooked and the prawns were rubbery and tasteless. And even though I mixed two spoonfuls of chili sauce into the noodles, the soup somehow still lacked the original kick and syokness I was anticipating for. So, my only best moment was enjoying the pork blood cubes while slurping down the curry soup.
By the way, guess what you are not allowed to take photos of the food because the boss doesn’t allow it. Luckily I snapped a few before being stopped hehe.
Based on the meal, I rate the awesomeness of SS2′s Lorong Seratus Tahun Penang Curry Mee at most 60% of the original one in Penang. Until I manage to find other good Penang Curry Mee alternatives in KL and PJ area, I would probably still return in case I have the cravings again.
